"BB!" Was the first thing to fill his ears. The familiar confidence in the emotion made it clear to him that it was Bravery's realm. Her place looked like the training room only, Trigon, Malchior, and Terra's pictures were everywhere. Curiosity got the best of him. "Hey Rae, what's will all the pictures?" Beast Boy asked. She replied with one word, "Motivation."
"Motivation? For what?" Beast Boy asked, still not realizing why.
She laughed a little laugh and said,"To kick some bad guy butt!" Her face contorted to one of anger and sadness, " They all were there for something negative and heartbreaking for us. Trigon only had Raven born because he wanted a portal to Earth. Malchior was the first person to break our heart. Terra betrayed everyone, broke your heart, and even had the nerve to come back…We were also kind of jealous of that blonde headed little-"
He cut her off by asking "How could you be jealous of her? She hurt everyone…she broke my heart and smashed it into a million pieces…How could you want to be anything like that. She died a hero…but still , she died. " His head was bowed and his eyes were dark obviously by opening up a wound that had not fully healed.
After a short amount of silence Brave did something bold.
She kissed his forehead and hugged him.
She told him "We were jealous because of the way everyone liked her…the way everyone looked at her…the way you…looked at her. She was slowly replacing me. She had you wrapped around her finger. With her around nobody bothered to try and make us laugh or even smile. She caused me pain, but I know he caused you so much more. I'm sorry. "
He was in shock from the kiss but slowly he realized that it was not Raven's fault that she was not open but everyone else. Nobody seemed to notice her or care to notice her when Terra was around except for Starfire, and that was still not very often.
Bravery said "C'mon BB we should spar and let some of our hostility out." He nodded still trying to realize what happened.
Something that caught him off guard was the fact that she unclasped her cloak and tossed it aside. He only saw Raven with a cloak on. His face was bright red and he couldn't look at her without reddening. He asked, "Uhh, why did you take your cloak thingy off?"
Bravery said "If we are gunna fight without powers, I don't want to trip on it, plus," She got close to him and whispered in his ear, "it seems to distract you."
He was unable to speak and was still digesting what she said when he sensed her foot rapidly approaching his stomach. He jumped back, momentarily forgetting that they were sparring. When he jumped back he responded to her kick with a punch. She easily blocked the punch and sent a barrage of her own punches toward his chest. He dodged each one and tried to sweep her legs out from under her. She retaliated by gracefully doing a back handspring and she then did a roundhouse kick. Beast Boy could only watch as her foot approached his face and…
It stopped about a centimeter away. "I win!" boasted Bravery as she did a little victory dance. Beast Boy whined "Aw, c'mon! Best two outta three!"
She giggled and said "Alright, I just hope you won't cry too much when I win."
So after being humiliated again, Beast Boy decided it was best to get moving. He thanked Brave and started toward the portal.
"Come back again BB, I need a dummy to spar with more often." was all he heard as he walked through the door. He smirked and said, "Just as long as you don't wear the cloak." He saw her face redden right before he passed through to the next emotion.
He arrived in an open place with plenty of trees, flowers, mountains, clouds, and scenery that were all some shade of pink with a yellow sky.
'I know who lives here.' He thought happily as he wandered about listening for the airplane noises or the laughter that Happy, the pink cloaked Raven, tended to make.
He found her at a carousel that was playing the Titan theme song just slower and more carnival like than normal with some of their enemies that were in place of horses. She was riding on the Plasmius one. She seemed to sense him and his excitement.
"BB!" She yelled with a giggle, "Get over here, come play on here with me!"
He didn't need to be told twice. He ran toward the carousel and hopped on the Cinderblock one that was right next to Plasmius.
"Where you been BB?" she asked with a smile.
He said, "You know Rae doesn't allow people in here." Happy giggled replied, "Well then what are you doin' here now?"
"Well, heh heh, you see…Raven kinda doesn't know I'm here." Beast Boy said nervously.
Happy just laughed and said "Well you better hope she doesn't catch you! She could be quiet the meany!"
Beast Boy said, "Pshh, tell me about it."
Happy giggled and said "I wanna play a game with you BB." The carousel started to slow. Beast Boy thought about it for a minute or two and said, "Alright, but only if you tell me where to go to get out of here. Deal?"
Happy agreed and with an excited gleam in her eye she said, "We can play hide n' seek!"
"Alright," Said Beast Boy, "But I'll have you know, I'm a total champ at this." Happy smiled and said "That's what you think but then again you also think 'chicks dig the ears.'"
Beast Boy retaliated, "Well if they don't dig the ears they can't resist the booty. I know Rude can't"
This caused Happy to laugh to the point where she had a hand on her stomach and the other was used to wipe away a tear, "I missed you BB. By the way funny boy," she started and then poked his nose, "You're it!" and with that she said her mantra and slid into the dark portal that opened up behind her.
"No fair!" Beast Boy said childishly. He changed into a hawk to try and spot her from the air. He did see some movement in a bush that was not too far from his spot in the air. He swooped down and changed into a rabbit in order to get closer. He hopped about and tried to find her only to come face to face with another…green rabbit?
He morphed back to his human form and pondered aloud, "Why would Happy have a green rabbit in her place in Nevermore?"
"Because it makes me happy, duh" He heard her say with a giggle.
Beast Boy got the general direction of the voice and decided that his best move would be to ask her another question.
"Why is it green though?" He asked, hoping it would lead him closer.
He heard something to his right say, "I love the color green."
He said "But Rae hates the color green."
Happy giggled and said, "She never said she hated it, it's her third favorite color!"
Beast Boy said, "But I thought she hated it 'cuz I'm green."
He heard more giggling and an answer that he was not expecting, "She likes it more because of you!"
He stopped at the base of the tree that stood out from the rest. He looked up at the tree that stood about 10 feet over the rest. Instead of just the normal brown bark with pink leaves, this tree had a green trunk with slightly more magenta leaves than any of the other trees. He looked up to see Happy sitting on one of the thicker branches smiling and swinging her feet in the air.
"Aw, you found me!" She jumped down from the branch and landed next to Beast Boy, her smile never receding into the hood of her cloak like the rest of her face. "You gotta come by more BB. I need some comic relief."
"I'll come back anytime if Rae lets me." He said. She pointed at the tree and said, "On the other side is the portal but one last thing," She said and looked at him in the face with a seriousness he has never thought this emotion can have, "Chicks do dig the ears." He smiled and saw her giggling face return right before he left for the next emotion.
