I really like this chapter, there's a bit of everything in it…
Chapter 3: As green as jealousy.
As they both turned around they were hoping their comrades hadn't heard what Raven had just said, however all hope was lost when they saw the expression on their faces: Robin had an evil grin on his face and his arms crossed. Starfire looked puzzled and confused. And Cyborg's jaw dropped as much as his eyes had gotten wider.
"I knew it." Robin said staring at Raven in particular, his grin only got eviler.
"You knew? Since WHEN?" Cyborg screamed. Raven blushed so much that she put her hood up and tried to hide her face. Beast Boy just scratched the back of his head and put a fake smile, not really knowing how to react.
"I am confused. Why are Beast Boy's things in Raven's room?" Said a still puzzled Starfire.
"Isn't it obvious? They've been going out for the last month or so, you know… as a couple." Robin said.
Cyborg's jaw dropped even more, but Starfire changed her confused look to a smile and her eyes glowed with joy.
"Is this true?" She had to ask. Beast Boy slightly nodded, Raven didn't move. "EEEEEKKK this is glorious."
"I still can't believe it" Said a still shocked Cyborg.
"I know, I always thought it would be Beast Boy who would ruin the secret." Said Robin even though that wasn't what Cyborg was referring to. Raven felt even worse after hearing that.
"We must celebrate, yes?" She said as she hugged and crushed her two friends.
"That sounds like a great idea, Star. What do you guys think? We'll go get a pizza for dinner and then head to the docks for the carnival." Said Robin, everybody agreed but Raven who was still too embarrassed to react. "Then it's settled, we'll go get prepared and meet in an hour to leave."
And with that they all headed to their rooms, except Beast Boy who went to Raven's seeing as he didn't have his anymore.
Robin waited to turn the corner and then pulled Cyborg towards him, he told Starfire that he would join her later.
"What do you think?" He whispered to Cyborg, just in case they were still around.
"I think it's weird and creepy, but if their happy than I guess I'm okay with it." He answered.
"Yeah… but I was thinking…. they are kinda opposites."
"What's your point?" Asked Cyborg confused.
"I'm afraid it may just be something momentary, their relationship. I'm afraid they'll have a lot of fights. They had them when they weren't a couple, they're going to have a lot more as one, and might eventually break up. Putting at risk not only their friendship, but also this team."
Cyborg didn't believe what he was hearing: "You want to forbid them from going out because their opposites? Dude, aren't you and Starfire opposites too?"
Robin got nervous, a little red even and said: "NOO! I don't want to FORBID them from going out, I just…" He caught some air and said: "If the situation arrives where Beast Boy and Raven DO break up, I need you and Starfire to talk with Beast Boy and Raven, as their best friends, and prevent them from doing something stupid. You understand?"
Cyborg nodded. "I do. Don't worry, you got my word." And with that They went their seperate ways.
Meanwhile, Raven lied on her bad starring at the ceiling with a serious face. Beast Boy was sitting down next to her on the edge of the bed.
"It's no big deal Raven, we had to tell them sooner or later." Beast Boy tried to cheer her up.
Raven closed her eyes and sighed. "I know, it's just… things were going so good and now… it's just going to be different... and I didn't want anything to change…"
There was a small pause of silence, finally Beast Boy said: "Yeah… it is going to be different. But who knows it might even be better!" He said with a smile, it actually managed to cheer her up a little. "Besides, how bad can it be that they know about it?"
Two hours later, at the docks:
"You must tell us, how was your first kiss? Was it as magical as mine and Robin's?" Asked Starfire with happy expression. Raven had her hood on again, and Beast Boy tried to ignore her, but…
"Yes, please tell us all about it." Said Cyborg and Robin with an obvious malicious tone to their voice.
They both sighed, but did not answer the question. The rest of the night went pretty well, they had a fun time with the rides and what not. Robin and Starfire acted like a normal couple while Beast Boy and Raven just acted normal. Actually, Robin and Starfire kept whispering to each other all the time, and Starfire would always react with an evil giggle while looking at the two of them.
"Raven, Beast Boy. Robin and I have been thinking… Wouldn't it be glorious to go on the double date?" Asked Starfire with this expression ^^. While Raven felt like somebody had punched her stomach.
"Yeah, you should totally go tomorrow night to a restaurant or something." Cyborg said. He wasn't helping much.
"That's actually not a bad idea. What do you guys think?" Asked Robin
Beast Boy was about to say sure, or of course, but he looked at Raven who didn't seem too thrill about it.
"I think we'll pass guys, but thanks anyway." He said. Both Starfire and Robin looked disappointed, especially Starfire.
Raven saw immediately what Beast Boy had done. He had turned down their offer even though he wanted to accept it, because he knew she didn't want to go.
"We change our mind; we'll go with you on… a double date." The words double date were really difficult to pronounce for Raven. Both Beast Boy and Starfire overreacted with joy and Robin smiled. Cyborg also smiled until he realized:
"AAAAWWW MAAN! I just realized… I'm officially the fifth wheal now!" Said Cyborg.
Beast Boy, seeing as Raven would've done anything to change the subject, he came up with an idea.
"Dude! I challenge you to an eating contest. The one who eats the most cotton candy, wins." He said with a big smile as he pointed at Cyborg.
This made Cyborg react: "Oh, your own little green bean."
"Awesome, Raven you can be the referee." He said as he looked at her.
"*Sigh* Fine…" She agreed, anything that would take the others minds from them being a couple.
"Awesome! Dude, this is going to be soooo sweet!" He said very happily as they prepared for the competition.
Ten hours later, Beast Boy wakes up in Raven's room
"Ooohhh, my stomach…" He looked around the room, trying to remember what had happened yesterday. Little by little he remembered, he's stomach still remembered too. HE had eaten way too much cotton candy AND LOST.
He was all alone; Raven was probably meditating on the roof. A few minutes had passed when the door opened; it was Cyborg who came in with a big smile on.
"Hello loser… I mean BB. How are you feeling?" He asked sarcastically.
"Actually, I feel horrible so if you don't mind I'd like-" He tried to tell Cyborg to leave but was cut off.
"That's great, hey listen I brought you breakfast." He said, and pulled out a cotton candy from behind his back. "Cotton candy, it's delicious!"
As soon as he saw the pink cotton, he grabbed the bin Raven had in her room and puked. As he did, he heard a diabolical laugh which fadded little by little until Cyborg had left.
'I need some water' he thought. He looked around the room hoping to find a bottle of water, but couldn't find one. Too weak to go to the bathroom, he looked under the bed as a last resort. He saw something but didn't know what it was exactly. He reached in and pulled it out.
"Oh cool, a mirror." He said as he looked at his reflection. "It almost looks like the one I- Oh *blip*!" He remembered as he was pulled inside the mirror for the second time.
As he landed, butt first, to that alternate dimension, he wasn't feeling so sick anymore, now he was just terrified. 'Okay Beast Boy, you got out of this the first time… you can do it again an-' he thought but was cut off by a familiar voice and a hand that grabbed his shoulder.
"Beast Boy?" Beast Boy squelled like a girl, he turned around and saw pink Raven.
"Oh it's you… thank god." He said as he breathed heavily. "I accidently grabbed the mirror again."
"I'm starting to think it's not so much an accident anymore, you just like me more than Raven." She teased, she knew it wasn't true, but thought it was still funny.
"Believe me, it's not like that. Can you get me out of here?" He asked and she nodded. She grabbed his hand and headed towards the exit.
"I'm glad Raven likes you now and not Robin. I've always liked you more." She said. "Don't get me wrong, Robin is HOT! But you're a lot cuter." She said with a smile.
"Yeah, thanks I- Wait WHAT?"
Oh snap, did anybody see THAT coming?
