Chapter 2
In the training room Cyborg was pushing Robin to the max.
BZZZ!!! The bell rang.
"Time's up," Cyborg called to his teammate. "You set a new record."
"Thanks." Robin panted. Cyborg tossed him a water bottle.
"So…" Cyborg smiled. "How are things goin' with you?"
Robin looked up at him. "What do you mean? We see each other every day!"
"I mean, how are things with you and star?"
"Uh… why do you care?"
"Man I'm your best friend! Practically your brother, I just wanna see if you're happy. 'Sides, you may need some advice and I can think of no one more helpful to you then this guy right here." Cyborg smiled as he pointed to himself.
"Yeah… right. Look, Cy, I'm good. 'kay?"
Cyborg was about to respond but the door burst open.
"Friends," Starfire smiled, Beastboy entering right behind her. "It is much glorious to see you, but I must ask, have you finished the training?"
"No," Robin answered. "We're just takin' a break."
"I see." Starfire walked over to sit by Robin.
"Hey," Cyborg called "Don't get too comfy you two, it's training time, remember?"
Everyone got up and walked to their own training equipment. Cyborg had everything custom made. Robin's reflexes were put to the test as he went up against a practice dummy in hand-to-hand combat. Beastboy was off running an obstacle course, trying to beat his personal record. Cyborg was lifting weights and Starfire was practicing her sharpshooting skills with her starbolts.
Meanwhile…
Raven had decided that she did not need any more meditation and went off to go get another cup of her tea. Out in the hallway she could hear her team mates shouts and yells coming from the room below. She smiled a slight smile, after her previous outburst no one came to bug her about training. She hated training. Of course she would never complain. That would make her just like Beastboy.
After the water had boiled and the tea bag had been placed in to seep, Raven sat down to read from one of her many books. It was quiet now, of which hardly ever is. She sighed a contented sigh.
"OH YEAH!!! Try to top that score on the obstacle course you little grass stain!!!" They were back.
"No fair Cyborg! You cheated!" Beastboy whined.
"Come on B, How do you cheat on a thing like that?" Cyborg walked over to the Fridge and pulled out a soda.
"Fine." Beastboy acknowledged the fact that Cyborg could not have cheated, after all even if there was a way to cheat, Cy would never use it. He never played dirty. "You may be able to beat me in the real world, but let's see if you can do it virtually!!!"
"You're on!" Cyborg ran around the couch and plugged in the gamestation and turned the power on.
Starfire walked up to her friend Raven. "Would you now enjoy a trip to the mall, friend?"
Raven looked at Starfire, who smiled a pleading smile. "Alright..."
"Wonderful!"
"Let me grab my tea first." Raven walked over to the pot of tea and poured some into her mug.
"BOO-YAHHH!!!" Cyborg yelled. "In your face!"
'Our trip to the mall is looking better and better' Raven thought.
"You girls are going to the mall?" Robin asked.
"Yes Robin." Starfire confirmed. "Is there something you wish us to bring you?"
"Nope, just wanted to remind you to bring your communicator, you remember what happened last time…"
"That was one time Robin." Raven said pulling out her communicator to hopefully ease his worries.
"I'm only making sure…" Robin smiled. "That is my job as leader isn't it?"
He walked over to Starfire and kissed her lightly on her cheek. Starfire blushed faintly and giggled. Raven rolled her eyes but couldn't keep her smile down. It was interesting to watch how those two interacted. It was different from the stories she had read. It was all fictional, someone's imagination. Movies were even worse. It was all fictional too, but the people in them were all actors, kissing each other for money. Gross.
"We've got to get going Starfire." Raven called to her as she was already own her way out.
"Good bye Robin." Starfire said.
"Bye Starfire." With that done they left.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Beastboy yelled from the couch. "Best two outta three?"
Cyborg complied.
Raven couldn't believe how packed the mall was. After all it was only 11:30 on a Wednesday morning. 'Guess everyone goes to the food court for lunch.' She thought.
"Come Raven," Starfire gestured.
They went in various clothes stores, Starfire picking out and trying on many outfits looking for Ravens opinion. "Do you like this one in the pink of bubblegum or the color 'lavender'?"
"Why don't you just get them both?"
Apparently the thought had never occurred to her. "Brilliant idea, friend! It is quite good that you decided to come along for I would not have come upon such a genius solution!"
"Why are you buying these clothes Starfire? You never wear any of the stuff you already own."
"Perhaps I might, someday."
Raven figured she must be talking about a date with Robin.
Starfire walked up to the cash register and paid for her two tops in full with cash. "Now we can continue the exploring of the mall!"
They went to get a bite to eat and Starfire got her nails done, they were purple to match her uniform. Then they proceeded to go home.
At home…
"You know Robin," Cyborg grinned. "You should take Starfire on a date."
"Excuse me?"
"You know, a date, D-A-T-E. It's very popular these days. You see a guy takes a girl somewhere special where they're alone, movies or dinner—"
"I know what a date is." Robin said, annoyed.
Beastboy laughed at how angry robin was.
"I thought you said you weren't gonna give me any advice"
"I don't remember sayin' that." Cyborg smiled. "Besides this isn't advice, It's a… suggestion."
"Whatever. I still don't need it. Why don't you help Beastboy find a date?"
Cyborg looked down at his green friend, taking his eyes off the game for a few minutes. "Too hard. I wanna have some success."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" Beastboy said, paying attention to the conversation around him. "Girls were dying to get a hold of me back in Tokyo!!"
"See Robin? He doesn't need any help. Trust me on this, take Starfire on a date."
"I don't need your help either. I know what I'm doi—"
"We have returned!!" Starfire called from the entrance way. "Would you like to see what I have purchased?"
"Sure Star." Robin was glad to see the girls had returned.
Starfire flew out of the room to try on her outfits so she could show them off. Raven sat down next to the boys on the couch.
"How was your time at the mall?" Beastboy teased.
"Shutup." Raven replied. "You know I hate going."
"Then why do you do it?" He asked.
"I don't know. I guess because it makes her happy. Besides, she needs someone there to help her out. She still doesn't know all the 'earth terms'"
"You wanna make me happy?" Beastboy turned towards her.
"No. I will not play video games with you"
"Aww… Come on! Cyborg's to hard to beat!"
"What? So you were just gonna kick me off?" Cyborg said.
"Duh."
"I don't play video games and you know that."
"Please Rae?"
"Don't call me 'Rae', Beastboy."
"You can have BB's controller." By now Cyborg was in it too.
"No." She stated quite calmly. Had they forgotten this mornings explosion? She got up and walked towards the exit. She had to keep her powers in check. Just then, the door slid open, revealing Starfire in her newly bought attire.
"Wow…" Robin gasped. "You looked beautiful."
Starfire blushed. "Thank you Robin." She floated down the steps to her friends who all complemented her new clothes.
Raven left to her room. Grabbing herself a new book from her shelves she returned to the main room. Before she entered though, she paused. She listened to her friends' conversation. They sounded so happy. Whenever she was around some sort of argument would usually occur. She sighed and returned to her room. 'Going in there will only cause more trouble.' She lay down on her bed. 'I wish I could be fun.' She thought. She remembered how much fun they had with Terra. 'She was so much easier to hang out with…She wasn't held back by her emotions.' She shut her eyes. A single tear fell from her face and landed on a page from a book that lay open on her bed. Suddenly she felt very sleepy. Raven turned over on her side and fell asleep.
While she was sleep though something very strange happened. The book which lay upon her bed started to glow. On her dresser her mirror started to shake and a tiny pink ghost-like thing floated out and into Raven, who also had a ghost-like figure float out of her and into the mirror, replacing the pink one.
Raven woke up…but she was no longer in her room. She was in Nevermore and she couldn't get out.
Hey thanks for reading! Especially Somewhere In Time, I didn't think I'd get a review so fast!
I hope it was easy to understand... I don't think I did too well on explaining that last bit. Just to clear it up, Pink Raven and regular Raven have switched places.
