Chapter 6
Happy jumped into her bed, pulling the covers up to her face. She wiggled her toes in the soft clean sheets. But there was something in her blanket, something hard! She flipped the blanket off of herself and spied one of Raven's many hardcover books in the bed. She picked it up and opened it randomly to some page. She tried to read a bit, but it was not in regular English and she was too tired to make heads or tales out of it. She sighed and gently set the book on the floor beside her bed. If Happy had paid attention, she would have realized that was not just an ordinary book. She would have seen that it was the 'Shiawase shoseki', or, 'Book of happiness'. In it, an old Japanese man of much wisdom had written down the many secrets of happiness. For some reason it had intrigued Raven, so she bought it, figuring it could help her learn some of the language. What she did not know, was that it also contained a few mysterious spells in it as well. This was the cause of the current situation.
Happy shut her eyes and drifted off into a sweet slumber...
Happy's Dream…
Happy was wandered around this beautiful garden in which all sorts off amazing flowers were growing. She bent down to look at one in particular. It was gorgeous, violet in color, but the strangest thing about it was the fact that it seemed to glow. She leaned closer to it, for it seemed as though it was making a sound too. She picked it, but as soon as she did it died, withered in her touch. This shocked Happy. She scooped up the petals, as they had fallen to the ground. She stood up; the garden seemed to be a bit darker now. Then, she heard a voice. It sounded like her own!
"Hello? Let me out! I want to go home……help……I……wan……" The voice faded away.
Now Happy was no genius, but she knew right away that the voice she had heard was definitely Raven's, the real Raven.
"What am I supposed to do?" Happy worried, which she almost never does. "I'm not Knowledge, I'm not Brave either…" Then she realized what she should do. She needed to find the mirror. If she was in the real world then surely the real Raven was in Nevermore. Judging by the way she sounds, she probably wants out, too.
"RAAAVEENNN!!!"
She awoke so suddenly at the sound of 'her' name, she completely forgot her dream.
Someone knocked on her door.
Nevermore…
"No!" Raven sighed. "I was almost able to contact Happy." She started pacing back and forth. Knowledge could do nothing to help her so she just stood there watching and wringing her hands
Ravens Room…
"Raven, are you awake? It is your friend, Starfire."
Happy hopped out of bed, grabbed her cloak and swiftly threw it on, (She slept in her uniform.) and raced to the door. "Heya Star!" She greeted warmly. "What's up?"
"I have come to do the fixing of your hair" Starfire replied.
"Oh yeah, Come on in." Happy opened the door wide and stepped aside, letting Starfire through.
Starfire glanced around cautiously. While she had been in here a few times before for meditation, Ravens' room décor always gave her chills…
The girls sat down on Ravens bed, Starfire with all the necessary items needed for hair styling. Starfire brushed Ravens hair and they talked about nothing in particular, like all normal girls do.
Robins Room…
'Okay, this is the day,' Robin thought to himself while he combed his hair. 'All you have to do is ask her out on a date. No problem…' He stared at himself in the mirror and frowned. "Yeah, sure. No problem."
Robin paced around his room a moment and contemplated how to bring up this question. After all, asking someone out on a date isn't exactly something you say over the breakfast table.
Ravens Room…
"Well friend Raven, do you like it?" Starfire asked. Happy looked into the mirror that she had on the wall.
"Oh! It's cute!" Happy squealed.
Starfire sighed in relief.
'Raven' had two pigtails, but due to her relatively short hair, she had several loose strands of hair, not held back by a pigtail, that freely hung about her face. A little sloppy, but it seemed to suit her well.
"I hope the others like it!" Happy said.
"I am sure that they will." Starfire reassured her friend.
The Main Room…
Cyborg had just woken up and yawned as he entered. He was quite surprised to see no one else was awake yet. As he was headed towards the kitchen area, he happened to see a small 'lump' on the couch. Cyborg smirked. He knew that the 'lump' was none other then Beastboy. Cyborg went through the fridge and the pantry pulling out an odd assortment of foods as he went.
"Hmm…peanut butter…mustard…and the most important ingredient!" He pulled out the whipped cream.
Cyborg tip-toed his way to the sleeping Beastboy.
"Beastboy…" He whispered.
"Beastboy…" A bit louder,
"Beastboy," He said plainly. Yep, Beastboy was out cold. 'Perfect!'
Cautiously, Cyborg began smearing the peanut butter all across Beastboy's face.
Ravens Room…
"We should probably head down for breakfast now, Star." Happy said, walking towards the exit.
"Indeed" Then they both left.
When they entered the main room they saw Cyborg quickly stuff the whipped cream, Mustard and peanut butter in the dishwasher.
"Hey girls!" He said nonchalantly.
"Hello Cyborg," Starfire said, looking quite confused, "Why did yo-"
"Good morning everyone," Robin greeted
Apparently Robin was just loud enough to wake up Beastboy. He jolted upright in such a hurried manner, that some of the whipped cream flew off his face.
Happy turned around and laughed at the sight of her green companion.
"What happened to you?" Happy asked, unable to contain the giggles that managed to escape.
Cyborg had 'decorated' Beastboy to look somewhat like Santa Clause.
"What the--EWW!" Beastboy screeched, wiping the stuff off his face. "Who did this?"
"He did it! He did it!" Happy squealed pointing at Cyborg.
"Cyborg…" Beastboy growled.
"What me?" Cyborg said, not-so-innocently.
"Yeah you! What was the point of this?"
"Oh come on B, It's just a stupid prank." Cyborg defended himself.
There was a moment of silence, Everyone thought Beastboy was going to explode.
But he didn't.
"Heh, heh," He chuckled. "I guess I must've looked kinda funny."
Cyborg smiled.
"Who's ready for breakfast?" Robin asked the others.
"Oh I am most hungry!" Starfire exclaimed.
"Yeah, me too." Beastboy agreed.
"How 'bout waffles?" Cyborg questioned as he looked through the fridge.
Everyone agreed.
Cyborg taking out the ingredients needed for making waffles, Robin and Starfire sat next to each other on the couch, just talking and Beastboy had run off to go and wash his face. Normally the real Raven would sit down and read a book, but this wasn't 'normally' and this wasn't the real Raven. Instead, being bored with the fact that there was nothing to do, she had asked Cyborg if she could help.
"Sure you can." He said smiling. "Hey, you put your hair up! Don't you look cute?"
Happy smiled.
"Okay, this is how we'll do it." He said tying an apron around his waist and tossing her one. "You will mix all the dry ingredients in this bowl, you know, Flour sugar etc. and I'll mix all the liquid-y ingredients in my bowl. When we're finished, I'll dump all my stuff in your bowl, mix it, and then it'll be time to pour it into the waffle iron."
Happy nodded and set to work. Soon the batter was all mixed and ready to be cooked.
"Now, pour it in slowly,"
She poured.
"Little bit more,"
She poured a little bit.
"Little bit more,"
She complied.
"Just a tiny bit—No! Stop!"
She had poured way too much. "Eep! I'm sorry!"
Cyborg shut the waffle iron. Batter seeped out the sides. "I'll pour next time." Cyborg said kind manner, not at all what Happy eas expecting.
The day continued on, they ate their waffles they played their video games, they did everything they normally did, but like I said before, today was not normal, even the Titans could tell. They also knew that it was Raven who was most likely the reason, But nobody said anything because they didn't want to ruin her good mood. At the moment, the Titans were watching 'Morgan Oregon' on TV. This was Starfires favorite show; she always had to watch it whenever it came on. Robin of course was watching it with her, as she was sitting on his lap. Happy decided to join, sitting on the opposite side of the couch. Beastboy was on the arm of the couch pretending not to pay any attention to the program. Cyborg had better things to do, like waxing the T-car.
"This is SO funny!" Happy giggled. "I can't believe I never watched this with you before!"
Beastboy just stared at her. This was not the real Raven…or is it? His animal senses told him something was wrong, But he couldn't place it.
He decided to go bug Cyborg.
He walked down the hallway and as he passed the door with the word 'Raven' on it, he half expected to hear her chanting her mantra to herself. He paused. Then he did hear something, a slight 'thump'. He opened the door.
"Raven?" He called, though rather quietly.
The thump was just a bird flying into the window, something only Beastboy's super-sensitive ears could hear.
Curious he walked into her room. On the bed he saw various items used to fix hair. She had a few books scattered on the floor, some on her dresser too, alongside her meditation mirror.
He looked at the mirror and remembered how she had all these different Ravens in there. Each one had it's own 'attitude'.
That's when it hit him! The feeling of déjà vu he had the other day was about Happy!
Without thinking he picked up the mirror off the desk and stared into it. Immediately, this black Raven-claw reached out, grabbed him and sucked him in.
"Waaaahhhhhh!!!!" He screamed as he swirled around in the portal to 'Nevermore'.
He landed with a thud in this field of long flowing grass.
"This is different." He said aloud to no one in particular.
"Beastboy?" Someone called from behind him.
He turned around and saw his blue-caped friend, Raven.
Raven was shocked and surprised to see someone other than herself and she could've hugged him right there and then. But she was Raven, and she just didn't do hugs.
"Beastboy," She said. "How…er…why are you here?
"Uh…heh, heh, thought you wanted some company?"
"Whatever." She stated in monotony. "You need to get out and tell Happy to get in here. When she comes Knowledge says I will have full control of my powers and will be able to get out."
"You sure this'll work?"
"I've got nothing else to try. Since this is not your mind all you have to do is go through that portal there" she said pointing to this giant rock arch with a swirling design inside. "That should get you out of here just fine."
"Should?" He asked in a worried tone.
She just glared at him. "Go."
He ran towards the exit but before he left, he waved to Raven.
"Good luck," She said quietly and waved back.
There you have it! I do not have many more chapters left, one or two, three max.
Sorry for any of you who speak Japanese, I don't so I'm not totally sure of that whole book of happiness thing...
Also, 'Morgan Oregan' is indeed the 'Hannah Montana' of Jump city.
Umm...That's it I think...Tell me how it was! Good? Bad? Did you fall asleep? REVIEW!!! Please?
