Sorry if its been a while; really I know its been about a week. I've been planning on updating a few day (at least 3) to a week. I have a plenty of time on my hands. This chapter was a little difficult... at first I was going to make it drag out longer, but I recognized a good stopping point and a good starter for the next chapter! I hope you guys appriciate the fruits of my labor.

Oh and I don't own Teen Titans or anything else that could get my thrown in jail or sued.

Read and review at the end of the chapter please!

Whew! Is that everything? Alright, continue dear reader!

A few days passed without incident. Until that afternoon, when Raven decided to go purchase a new volume at her favorite book store: Tales and Tomes. She walked in and the bell rang. "Just a minute!" A voice called from the back. She could hear some grunting and shuffling as the person made their way to the counter. Raven was browsing the sixth tier of a book shelf; this is usually where they kept the more darker books. If Raven was lucky she might even find a new spell book. "How can I help-" the voice cut off when Raven turned around, "you." she finished.

Raven gazed at the pink haired shop assistant in shock. "What are you doing here?" she couldn't help, but be suspicious; thinking she might pull something.

Jinx gestured around the shop, "I work here, duh." She looked a little uncomfortable, but soon that cheshire cat grin was back. "So, can I help you find anything?"

Raven turned back to the shelf she was browsing, "No." she then did her best to ignore the ex-thief and repress thee blush that was showing on her face.

"Aw, are you still mad about what happened?" Jinx leaned over the counter, speaking in a teasing tone.

Raven still had her back to her, "Yes, now go away and sort the books in the back or something."

Jinx stomped her foot in mock frustration, "Fine! But you won't find what you need there anyway." She turned and was about to start for the back when she felt a hand grab her wrist.

"Wait," Ravens' commanding chill sent shivers down Jinxs' spine. Shivers of fear and excitement. "how do you know what I'm looking for?"

Jinx turned and Raven let her have the arm back, "Because, unlike some people, you're easy to figure out... but only when it comes to the book department." Raven raised a brow and this got a laugh out of Jinx, "Oh come on! I know you're looking for a spell book."

Raven kept here tone even, "What makes you say that?"

"This is the only place that sells any in the city." Jinx rubbed the back of her head and bashfully looked away, "We only find them by luck."

"How do you find any if you're here?" The joke came as a surprise to both girls.

Jinx giggled, "You need someone who knows their stuff... Otherwise they'd be thrown away."

Raven nodded, "So you keep them from throwing away the spell books because...?"

"Because someone might need them one day..." Jinx shuffled her feet.

It took a moment for Raven to get the meaning behind her words, "Jinx... You didn't save those books just for me... did you?

Jinx blushed a little and looked at here shuffling feet, "...Maybe..." Jinx was definitely uncomfortable now. "I- I thought you'd like to have-" she gasped.

Raven had embraced her mid sentence. Jinx was shocked at first, but slowly linked her hands on Ravens' back, completing the embrace. "Thank you." Her sincere tone made Jinx blush. "Nobody has ever done this much for me, as a gift... Thank you."

Jinx almost teared up and the urge to just hold Raven there, along with a few other urges, was so strong she almost couldn't bear it. She didn't want to resist, but she pushed Raven lightly away from her, "Yeah, yeah. C'mon, I'll show you where we keep 'em." She started to go through the back, but stopped when Raven didn't follow. "Are you coming?"

Raven took a few steps and stopped, "Aren't employees only allowed back there?"

Jinx smirked, "Yes, but since the boss man is out and I'm running the shop right now... Well I figure that I make the rules for now."

Raven followed with a disgruntled, "If you say so."

Jinx was weaving among the shelves, "I do say so. Now get over here! I don't know which one you want."

Raven sighed as she walked up behind the bad luck charm and set her sight on the shelves of spell tomes. She found several, half of which were needed, "These." She picked them from their respective shelves.

Jinx gazed at the selected books, "You sure those are it? We have more." she waved the the other shelves.

Raven clutched the books to her chest, "I don't want to be greedy..."

Jinx shook her head, "Please, take 'em. If you don't they'll sit here for years until my manager throws them away or I buy one."

Raven looked at her with sudden curiosity, "You buy this kind of stuff?"

Jinx shrugged as she gazed at a shelf, "Occasionally, but I don't have a knack for it... they do make an interesting read though."

Raven pondered this. Then shocked Jinx, "Alright, I'll take you up on that." She picked out three more tomes and followed Jinx to the register. "How much do I owe you?" she opened up her purse.

Jinx was clicking a few buttons, "Hold on." she muttered as she typed, "Put that there. Adjust here... Got it!" she leaned over the counter, "You're up to two hundred thirty seven dollars and fifty-two cents." She leaped over the counter and landed by Raven.

"R- really?" Raven never thought that buying this many books would be so expensive! "I- I don't have that much..."

Jinx smiled, "Don't worry we have a special today."

Raven let out a relieved breath, "What? A discount?"

Jinx was trying to contain herself, "Yep. Ten books will only be worth twenty bucks and an additional discount will be given for employee satisfaction." she leaned forward to see if Raven would take the hint.

Raven tried to comprehend what she was saying. Then it dawned on her, "YES!" several voices in her head screamed.

"CAN IT!" she growled. "I'm not doing it. No. No way. I-"

Lust cut her off, "Please honey. We all know you're unsure, but just give in to the moment! Ravage her! Bang till the-"

Raven cut Lust off with a roar, "I WILL NOT!

Love interjected, "Please Raven. You thought you wanted to be alone; that being alone was the only way... but will you deny yourself happiness and not take a leap of faith?"

Happy joined the party, "Yeah Ravy! She makes us all tingly inside! I like the tingle... I want her to stay with us! What do you think Brave?"

"Hell yeah! That pink haired woman makes me feel zingy! I don't know what it is, but she makes me feel... like something else. And I LIKE IT!"

Raven was desperate, "Knowledge, Sloth, Timid, Anger... Anyone! Help me out here!

Sloth gave a yawn, "I don't care, but as long as you're happy..." The emotion went back to doing nothing.

Timid reluctantly joined in, "I- I think that you s-should be happy w-with her... I'm sorry."

Raven groaned inwardly, "Don't be Timid. I'm glad your supportive, but I'm not sure I can do this... What if something goes wrong?"

Knowledge came into the conversation, "Raven... Your worries are pointless. Nothing will occur, do you know why this is?"

"No."

Knowledge sighed, "When you eliminated your father you gained more control over your powers."

Raven was impatient, "Everyone knows this Knowledge! Why would that-" the reason presented itself right there.

She could feel Knowledges' sense of victory, "Looks like you arrived at the correct conclusion."

Raven still couldn't believe this was happening; she was fighting against her emotions and losing! She knew they just wanted her happiness, but she wasn't sure if she deserved to be happy. "It still won't work... I mean, she's a girl!"

Love countered, "Who governs what genders love can blossom between? No one. You can be happy Raven; you can have her... So why are you reluctant to take this chance? She is very fetching."

Raven was out of arguments, "B-but-"

Anger bellowed and all emotions, but Love scattered, "DO IT! Or I'll take control and do it MYSELF!"

Raven gave in, "Alright! I do it."

Love encouraged her, "That's our girl. Go get get her!" Love directed her attention at Anger, "Let's leave. She needs to be alone for this."

Anger grumbled before she faded, "Why does that little bitch have to be so irksome?"

"I still can't believe you made me hug her." Raven was stalling

Love giggled, but remained firm, "You know that was your desire. I just made sure you wouldn't censor how you feel. Now make us proud!" With that Love left Raven to confront Jinx.

Raven breathed a sigh a relief and looked at Jinx. The silent conversation only took a few seconds, but that was enough for Jinx to think in another direction. She sighed and leaned back, "Aw, who am I kidding? You won't go for it, but hey; don't blame a girl for trying."

She turned and was about to walk around the counter when her wrist was in Ravens' grip for the second time that day. "Alright."

Jinx looked back at the purple haired beauty as if she just won the lottery, but then it changed to one of concern. "Look Raven... I was just teasing, you don't really have to-"

"I not doing it for the discount." He hair was swept up in front of her eyes, making her expression unreadable. "I'm doing this because it's something I-." She had Jinx up against the counter now. "Something I want."

Jinx thought she had died and went to heaven as she heard those words, "R-really? You're okay with it being me?"

Ravens' hair parted to reveal her amethyst eyes and beautiful smile. She nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay with it." She drifted closer.

"B- but, I thought you didn't swing my way." Their heads were slowly drifting closer, their voices were getting weaker as desire for the moment gripped them.

Raven could feel Jinxs' breath on her cheek, "Truth be told, I don't know which way I swing." They were centimeters apart.

"I- I did-" she couldn't find her voice with Raven so near. Both soon had no need for words though. Their lips met and both felt as if they wouldn't have a moment after this one. Jinx felt soft feathery lips meet hers. And Raven felt sweet, light, but firm ones meet her own. They only thought running through their heads was of each other and the moment. Neither felt like leaving what was now an embrace, but everyone has needs. They broke for air, both panting. "Ah." moaned the pink minx. "God, that was... Wow."

Raven broke away from the shop assistant and collected her books, but Jinx saw the look in her eyes and the blush that colored her face, "Y-yeah... I've never felt anything like that."

Jinx couldn't help herself, "Was it as good for you as it was for me?"

Raven blushed an even deeper red, "I've gotta go... see you later." She rushed to the door and almost tripped over several books.

Jinx waved to her, "Yeah, hey call me sometime! I'd really like to do something." Jinx held a wide grin as Raven exited the store, and as she restocked the shelves. Even when her manager came back. When she left the shop. In fact, she carried around that smile all day. As she walked back to her apartment she thought of the lie that started it all. Thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents. That was the true price of all those books, but Jinx just wanted to mess with her. "I honestly didn't know Raven would go for it. Will this turn into something more?" As she walked up the path to the door her thoughts turned back to the kiss. Ravens' lips against her own. "God, that was amazing... If she told me that was her first I'd totally call bull." She couldn't shake the thought, but she was lucky that none of her roommates were there to see her shivers and blush as she made her way down to her room. She collapsed on her bed. "She's a great kisser! No wonder angel food cake was ironic. No way a goody goody would ever be that sexy!" She sighed in contentment and dozed on her bed; Jinx was hoping a certain Titan was thinking the same of her.

The alarm blared and everyone assembled in the living room. "It's Rancid again." Robin punched the keys to the computer, sending the coordinates to the T-Car and the R-Cycle. "Alright, let's move!"

BB jogged along Cyborg into the garage. "Dude, can I drive?"

Cyborg looked at BB as if he grew a second head, "Hell no! Get in and don't complain about it." BB rode shotgun and Raven was stuck in the back. "Hold on!" Cy hit the throttle and barreled through the underground tunnel to the city; Robin was ahead of him with Starfire to his right, flying.

Raven spoke up, "So where is Rancid attacking this time?"

Cyborg checked the coordinates, "The streets in front of a high school."

BB paled, for him it was a lighter shade of green than the usual, "Which high school?"

Cy spared a glance at the green changling, "Murakami, why?" BB shouted and this caused Cy to jerk the wheel. Once he straightened out he yelled, "Hey, what the hell man?"

The green one was shaking, "I can't go back there."

Cy shook his head, "Sorry BB boss man says we have to."

"You don't understand-"

The robotic man cut him off, "What I understand is that you don't want to be in that place; don't know why and I don't care."

"But-"

Cy was on a slight rant now, "And people could get hurt because of Johnny. Do you want that? Do you want to see people hurt because you're not there to stop him?"

Beast Boy sagged his head, "...No."

Cy nodded, satisfied, "Good we're almost there."

Beast Boy sagged in his seat and Raven could sense the emotional turmoil within. She decided to act and discretely entered his mind, "Beast Boy, it's me Raven. Don't talk, just think what you want to say."

BB gave a slight start and glanced at Cyborg. The robotic Titan was focused on the road and didn't notice. "Raven... Why are you in here? Get out!"

She could tell that he was troubled, but to stubborn to admit it. He wasn't the only stubborn one, "No. You need to get your head straight; tell me why you can't go there."

She could sense his inward sigh in defeat as he conceded, "Fine, I'll tell you."

"Show me."

"What?"

"Think it and I'll see it."

Beast Boy, with some reflectance, agreed, "Okay.. Here goes." She mentally gasped at the images and thoughts BB shared. They were of Terra; alive after her supposed death. She remembered how the changling told them that he made a mistake in spotting her and apologized that for not helping with the strange creature they fought. Terra was still alive and Beast Boy was the only one who knew. He lied to the other Titans to keep them away from her. The thoughts and memories also lead to why he didn't reveal her. He wanted her to be happy, even though he wouldn't be. "That's everything."

Raven paused for a moment, "Don't you think you should be happy to?" it saddened her that Beast Boy was stuck in a position she thought she had been in till a few days ago.

Beast Boy gave a heartened reply, "I washappy with her. And I'm happy she's still alive. But you shouldn't think about myhappiness, what about yours?"

Raven was shocked at the how the tables turned and tried to evade him, "What are you talking about? I am happy! I have all the books I can read and my friends. And-"

"a beautiful woman who loves you." the changling completed for her.

Raven was flabbergasted now. She remembered how she came clean about Jinx that night. Technically that was Brave and Raven found out when she asked. As well as how she came clean about the kiss the day after it happened. Both were only discussed with Beast Boy. "W- What are you saying?! She can't love me... it's just-"

"Is what Raven?" the changling cut her off, "Not true? Impossible? I know the way she feels about you! I saw your memories the moment you entered my mind... They were bleeding into mine, but I saw them." Raven was petrified at the thought of that particular memory being viewed, "You think to much. Just do what feels right and go with it! You deserve to be happy; you went through more hell than any other Titan!"

Raven smiled inwardly, grateful for the support of a friend, "Alright you win."

"YES!"

"Now back to you."

BB groaned mentally, "Dammit."

"Tell me. Tell me about that other thing that's bothering you... and don't try to lie to me! I'm inside your mind so I'll know the truth when I hear it."

Beast Boy sputtered for a moment, but denied her, "Ah, no. Not gonna tell you. This has to be stopped by me."

Raven didn't want to delay any longer, they were a few miles from the school. "Tell me before I force it out of you and make you into a vegetable!"

The threat worked, "Okay! But it'll be easier if I can show you right?"

"Yes."

Beast Boy was a little nervous for what he was about to do, "I can't show you... but can I send you a few memories and emotions?"

Raven paused before answering, "Yes, but that's unwise because of my powers."

"It's all I got. Take it of leave it."

"Fine. Get it over with." Raven felt nothing at first, but then a flicker. A noise, roaring of an animal. An urge; the urge to rip and tear into prey. An urge to flee. Surrounded by noise. Lonely. Stalking prey in the hunt; the fear and excitement rushing through her. Unable to flee, but not wanting to give in. Hopelessness. Darkness. Growling, roaring, soaring, scratching, and burning desire. Desire for more. To kill. Kill. Kill. Kill all that got in the way of its prey!

Raven was knocked back into her body by the force and magnitude of the emotion. "Alright! Let's kick some ass!" Cy called to them as he exited the car.

Raven was shaking in fear of the scale of emotion running through the green changling, "Hey, you okay?" She looked up to see BB grinning at her sheepishly. "I'm sorry, but that's why I didn't want to bother anybody."

As they both got out of the car Raven nodded her hooded head, "I'm alright... But we need to talk when this is over."

"Gotcha!" BB gave her a thumbs up before rushing towards one of Johnnys' acid spitting, metal, deathtraps.

Raven glided to battle and was trying to focus some energy for the fray, but her thoughts strayed for a moment. "Is it more than just his primal side? Should I tell Robin?" She shook her head, "No, he has to... But if it becomes a problem, I'll do it." Satisfied with her decision she went to aid Star in destroying the second rampaging metal mutt.

The team was working to destroy the metal death machines while Johnny laughed on the sidelines, "Can't handle a little pair of doggies can ya? How 'bout I call old Rex to come out and play?" He gave a loud whistle and revved up his bike, "Rex! I got some food for ya!" A large thumping noise could be heard in the distance and the Titans were nervous as they continued to battle against the metal dogs.

"Cyborg!" Robin grunted. "Take 'em down!" He had to move out from the path of acid spit coming from the machine giving him trouble.

"I'm doing all I can!" The metal Titan shouted over his sonic cannon. Beast Boy crashed into the mutt as an elephant. The tusks ripped off a leg as he tossed it down the street. "Alright BB!" He turned to Robin, "C'mon, hold it still while I deactivate it."

Robin nodded, "Right. Beast Boy help Raven and Star take the other one... Before Rex gets here." He saw Johnny take off on his bike into the school. "Scratch that, go after Johnny." The quadruped nodded with reluctance before it shifted into a cheetah and sprinted after the cackling biker.

Robin was running towards Cy and the downed machine when a portal of ebony opened before him. Raven stepped out, "Where's Beast Boy?"

The Boy wonder never lost his stride and Raven soon fell behind him as he answered, "He went after Johnny when I saw him go into the school."

He didn't see the look of horror and shook that passed on her hooded features, "What? Did you tell him to? Or did he go himself?"

"I told him to," he stopped a few yards from Cy and turned with a quizzical expression. "why?"

Raven hardly heard the question. She felt out for Beast Boys' mind and immediately sensed it walking down a school corridor; she prodded further. He had changed again, this time into a larger prehistoric creature.

A gorgonopspid; she felt extreme amounts of aggression and blood lust roll of the creature. She shivered, then spoke to her leader, "You should have sent me."

She revealed to much and now Robin was curious, "Why? Is something the matter with him?"

She remained stoic as she replied, "Yeah... He's been feeling a little... well his words were, 'not so hot'."

Robin accepted her explanation, "Alright, I'll talk to him about it later."

A crash was heard and rubble rained over their heads; it bounced off a black shield, "Help would be much appreciated!" shouted the alien princess. She hurled star bolts and glared beams of the green energy down at her target.

"Help's on the way Star!" he looked to Raven, "Go help her. And don't worry, Beast Boy can handle himself." Robin walked off to help the now wired covered Titan deactivate the inert dog.

"I hope so." she muttered. She the blocked some acid heading towards Star and joined the fray. "Don't hurt yourself Garfield... Please see her... See what you want." her mutterings went unnoticed by Starfire. The thumping was getting closer...

Sarah Williams sighed as her Algebra 2 teacher droned on. She blew a puff of her blonde hair away from her dazzling blue eyes. "Math in the morning... Whatever deity that holds power over the school schedules must be evil." that wasn't entirely correct as she imagined her kind faced counselor. She was thankful of his understanding of the situation. Not a lot of people would just smile away a story like hers. "I mean come on! I woke up in a cave and couldn't remember anything! And I was given a name after the system found me and put me in my new home." She mused about the thoughts, the Williams were not that bad. They were kind and caring people; and they didn't try to make her push past her memory block. She went to the doctors office monthly to get checked out; to see if she remembered or if she caught any diseases from her one week on the streets after her 'awakening'.

She tried to shake the cobwebs from her head, but the teacher took that as a sign to call on her, "Miss Williams, would you care to answer the question?"

She sighed, he may have asked, but Mr. Anderson might as well hold an ax over her neck. She looked at her note and then the board, "Uh... X+4 squared is equal to ZX9 cubed?" She hoped to whatever deity that was listening that she gave him the correct answer.

The teacher gave a long glance at the formula that covered the entire board, "Correct, that is one of several answers." he gave a glance to the rest of the class, "Anyone want to guess what the second answer might be?" He smirked when he saw no raised hands and most students looking away from his gaze; as if that would help. "Come now! There are no wrong answers!" A hand shakily rose, "Ah, miss Tamworth... What do you think?"

Sarahs' friend fidgeted before answering, "X to the tenth= Y to the seventh?"

"Wrong answer!" bellowed the teacher.

"B-but I thought you said there were no wrong answers!" she stammered.

He grinned, "I lied. You should know there is always a wrong answer in here. But we can learn from our mistakes and find the correct ones."

Sarah couldn't help herself, "Like lying and setting a bad example for your students?" the whole class laughed quietly at that comment.

The teacher found it amusing himself, "Yes," he chuckled, "like lying to students." he cleared his throat, "You all should know that formula by now. If not, then copy in your notes." He moved to sit down whiled the class worked or spent their time doodling.

Sarah sat and contemplated what the teacher spoke of; he often had a habit of accidentally giving out life advice with his teachings of equations and formulas. "I wonder how many mistakes I made before..." she broke off the thought. "No. This is my life now and I'm gonna live it! I don't care what any green creep says to me I'm gonna-" she stopped her train of thought, she remembered how some green guy bugged her three years back and how she stated that 'things change'. "Do they really? Was I really that person?" she looked down to her notes without seeing them, "I really upset the guy. What was his name?" Try as she might she couldn't, for the life of her, remember his name. "C'mon! How many guys are green?" She grew frustrated and gave up trying to remember, "Gah, whatever! I'm sure he'll come bug me again someday, and when that happens I can see if he knew the 'real' me... see if it triggers anything in my hard-headed noggin." Satisfied with her plans she turned to Trisha, "Sorry you got hacked by him."

Trisha slumped on her desk, "S'all good... but how'd you know the right answer?"

She shrugged, "I guessed... Math isn't my forte."

Trisha straightened up, "Wait! You guessed?!" the other classmates speaking with one another muffled her half shout.

Sarah looked down at her notes, "It was a sort of educated guess."

Trisha shook her had in jealousy, "I wish I had that kind of luck."

The door to the class burst in and skidded across the floor. A tattooed man with guns walked in and pointed on at the teacher and the other to the mob of students, "Your luck just ran out!" the man cackled with something akin to insanity. He noticed Sarah and gestured to her with a gun, "You, get up and come here!"

Sarah was shaking in fear, but gave him a shaky, "Y-y-yes sir."

She got up slowly and waked to the front of the class, right by the teachers desk. "What's your name?"

She gulped at the bulge in her throat, "S-Sarah Williams."

The biker glared at her, "Bullshit." he growled, "I swear I've seen your pretty face somewhere and It doesn't go with the name Sarah Williams!" He cocked his gun aimed at her, "So I'm gonna ask again... Who. Are. You?"

Sarah was scared enough to pee her pants! But luckily her bladder didn't have any liquids today so there were no pressing matters. "I-" she was cut off by a roar coming from the open doorway. Judging by the sound it was a large animal, most likely carnivorous, and it was charging down the hall towards the room!

"Damn!" the biker took Sarah and pinned her against his chest while scooting the side of the door. The side they were on would render all but the pair visible. "Not. One. Word. Or I'll kill everyone before I go down." The class was silent. "Make yourselves busy!" the class and teacher shuffled papers around and made it look like classwork was being done; albeit in a rather nervous manner.

The pounding of large feet could be heard slowing as it approached the classroom. It stopped at the broken door and some of the classmates froze when they gazed upon the prehistoric beast. Its snout barely moved into the room as it sniffed about. "I can feel its breath!" thought in terror. Sure she was scared of the biker, but this beast scared her in a way a human never could. "What the hell is that thing?" she notice it was an odd color, faded strips and mostly green.

The snout retreated and the animal took off to another part of the school. When they couldn't feel the pounding of its feet Johnny sighed in relief. Then he pushed her away and advanced to her, "Alright girly now spill! Who are you?"

She remained calm and gave him a confident smirk, "Hey pal?"

Johnny growled, aggravated by her tone, "What?"

She pointed up, "This is the first floor."

Johnnys' eyes widened, "Oh, shit!" he started to shoot the ceiling, debris came down on the screaming class. Johnny stood there looking confused, then realization dawned on him. He started to set his aim on Sarah, "You little bit- AHHH!"

He was cut off by pressure on his wrist. He looked down and saw a green velociraptor gripping it and tugging the gun hand away from the intended target. The bones were crushed as the raptor gave its head a violent shake. Johnny continued to scream in pain. The raptor tail whipped him into the wall. Johnny raised his other gun and was stopped when the therapod kicked it away. It hissed then ripped into his shoulder, the bone and muscle leaving little resistance to its teeth. Blood seeped from the bikers' wounds. He punched at the raptor with his only hand that could move. The raptor slid away and stood between Johnny and Sarah. It hissed. Johnny stood and charged, he was knocked out cold by slamming into the hallway lockers; courtesy of a swift kick from the therapod.

Sarah was engrossed in the battle, but it wasn't till the green animal turned to her that she felt nervous again. "Is it gonna kill me?" she dismissed the thought immediately, "No. It wouldn't save me if it was planning to eat me... besides that biker would be the bigger meal, I'm way to scrawny!" It started to approach her and bent down when it was a few feet from her. I picked a comb up, her comb and set it in one of her open palms. It regarded her with an odd look. To everyone's shock it didn't eat her, but it nuzzled its head on the side of hers. She was shocked to, but she felt strangely calm in the creatures presence and did something that downright confounded the class. She hugged the green therapod. She whispered to the animal so no one could hear, "Thank you." The creature gave a bird like chirp and stepped away from her. It bowed to her before going out to the hall and dragging Johnny away. No one moved until the grunts of the animal could no longer be heard.

The all rushed towards Sarah and asked questions like, "Are you okay?", "Did that biker guy know you?", "Do you really know that biker guy?", "Do hang out with him?", "Why'd you hug him?"

She only heard the last question and pulled the owner towards her; it was Trisha. "Hold on... That thing was a him?" Trisha was confused by the look Sarah gave her and the class continued their own conversations, seeing that Sarah wouldn't answer any questions.

"Of course, it was him." she looked to Sarah as if this was public information.

If it was it was a type that Sarah didn't pay attention to, "Him who? I had no idea what or who that was!"

The dark girl shook her head in disappointment, "Girl, you need to watch the news more. That was Beast Boy from the Teen Titans."

Something in Sarahs' head clicked; she remembered the green guy who bugged her!"Beast Boy?" she laughed incredulously. "That can't be him! Last time I saw him he was a boy! Not a dinosaur."

Trisha gave a huff of impatience, "Hello?! Beast Boy! The name implies what he can do!"

Sarah was still laughing, "There's no way the little green guy I met can do that!"

"Ugh! Fine, don't believe your friend!" she stormed off.

Sarah stopped laughing, "Maybe she's right... Nah! Can't be. But if I go talk to him then maybe..." her thought became clouded, "What was it he called me? I can't remember!" She gave up and whipped out her cell to call her adoptive parents. "Mad biker attacks class... good excuse as any." She dialed the number and waited for York to pick up.

Whew! sorry that took a while to post... I've been working on it in my week long absence! I wanted to continue it after the classroom, but I recognized a good stop for this chapter and a good starter for the next! And in the middle of writing the classroom scene I was contemplating wether or not to cut out the first scene from the shop. Then I thought 'the hell with it! It's already there and people are waiting for a moment!' I promise to add more moments in the future, but I really hope this wasn't to forced... Review, send me advice, penny for your thought, and all that Jazz!

Zaan is out! Peace! See ya in a few days!

;)
