Back in his room Beast Boy looked at the brooch more closely. Indeed, the gem matched Raven's eyes perfectly. But what he did not notice in the store was that when held up to the light, it produced runes.

"What are these? They look like the old wordy thingies in Raven's books. What were they called? Rutes, Rones, Rales?"

"Runes?"

"Ahh!" Beats Boy looked up and saw the magical empath standing in his door. "Raven! What are you doing here? Like, in my room?"

"I came to get you for dinner. We're going out for pizza and a movie. It's Robin's gift to me since he'll be in Gotham for my birthday helping Bruce."

"Oh, okay. Just give me a second? I need to get dressed. Yeah we'll go with that"

"Okay." The empath left, leaving Beast Boy alone." That was close. She almost saw her gift! I'll hide her present underneath my bed until her birthday."

At The Pizza Parlor

"Dude! I will not eat the 'All Meaty Extreme'! Have you heard my name before?! BEAST Boy! You'll basically be eating me!"

"Well I'm not getting your veggie pizza with soy cheese! Who even likes that besides you grass stain?"

The bickering went on and on until Raven had finally had enough of it. "Both of you just shut up! Cyborg! Get your own large Meaty Extreme pizza. The rest of us will get a large cheese pizza, half veggie, half plain cheese. Just shut it! I'm getting a headache." Raven leaned back in her chair, everyone staring at her. "What? The fighting seemed pointless and stupid when the solution was so simple." Everyone shrugged their shoulders and Robin ordered the pizzas.

Everything was rather quiet except for a few "How's the weather?" here and there. After Robin paid the check, they all proceeded to the movie theatre-Where the bickering began again. "I want to see 'They Way Way Back'! It's supposed to be hilarious!"

"Well I wan to see 'Now You See Me'. It's action packed and has a cute girl in it!" This time it was Robin who broke them up saying "How about we let Raven pick what movie we see. This is HER gift after all." Cyborg and Beast Boy both let out a sigh and everyone looked at Raven. Robin asked her what movie she would like to see.

"Actually, there is one movie I would like to see. 'The Conjuring' is supposed to be really good, and it's based off of an actual event. Which I like." Everyone agreed to the movie and Robin paid for the movie tickets. As they walked into the theatre, Raven somehow got stuck between Beast Boy and Cyborg. Throughout the whole movie Beast Boy was screaming and holding onto Raven, and Cyborg accidentally hit her every time he jumped (which was very often). By the time she got out of the theatre she had to pry Beast Boy off of her while holding a napkin to her bleeding and bruised nose.

Back at the tower she healed all of her wounds while everybody else went to bed. After she was fully healed, she traveled back to her room and climbed into her circular shaped bed. Unfortunately for this empath, she would not be getting much sleep at all tonight. She started to dream….

'Raven, happy birthday! Everyone cheered. Beast Boy walked up to her holding out a small black box. Raven opened it, but what came out was a hundred foot tall red skinned demon with white hair and horns. "What! But we defeated you! You're dead!" Raven screamed at Trigon, her father. The demon just chuckled and picked her up, squeezing her tightly in his hand. "My dearest daughter. Do you really think I would let myself be destroyed by you and your petty little friends? It's time for you to embrace your inner demon, to become like me." Raven started panting heavily, widening her eyes. " I will NEVER become like you!" Trigon smiled at her, raising a mirror to her face. "But my dear, you already have" Raven looked at her reflection. She had red skin, white hair, four eyes, and blood dripping from her newly formed fangs. "Nooooo!"

Raven woke up screaming and panting. She got up and looked in her mirror, relieved to see her regular reflection. She was about to get back into her bed when she heard knocking on her door. Opening the door revealed the changeling, dressed in only his boxers, standing in the hallway frightened.

"Raven! Are you ok? I heard you screaming. I thought you were attacked and hurt!"

"I'm fine Beast Boy. It was only a nightmare. I'm fine though. Goodnight." With that Raven went back to bed, not dreaming for the rest of the night
