(This was the hardest chapter to write in this story. So please review it and tell me how it came out)
"She's here?"
"Where?"
"There."
"Oh there she is."
"Raven wwwaaassss uuuuppp?"
"Please stay, it gets lonely here."
"Please don't yell, I don't like yelling."
"Want to read this great book I just finish."
"She already read that moron!"
"Stop fighting."
"Lovey day is it."
"Why are YOU here?"
"Hey, this is her mind and she can come over anytime she feels like it."
"Want to spar?"
"I'm hungry."
"I'm sleepy."
"I'm mad!"
"I'm sad."
"I'm glad."
Raven was overwhelmed by her personalities. There where so many of them all talking at once.
"Um…" she struggle to say, "Hi."
It was always weird talking to yourself.
"Hi!"
"Hello."
"Whatever."
"So glad you can come."
"When are you leaving?"
Raven recognize every one of them, she remember having conversation with them about everything. She had to. It was the only way to keep them all under control.
"So," she continued, "I guess you all know why I'm here."
"Of course we do."
"Is it because of that new one?"
"I hate her."
"I like her."
"She's so annoying."
"I could talk to her for hours."
"Get rid of her!"
"Please can she stay?"
"She's nice."
"She's crazy."
"She's crazy nice."
"I hope she can stay, it's always nice when a new one joins."
"This place is crowded enough as it is."
Raven took a deep breath, "Where is she. I want to meet her."
All of her personalities pointed in the same direction.
"That way."
"This way."
"Over here."
"You should see her decoration, yuck."
"I like them."
"You like everything."
Raven nodded and walk in the direction.
"Should we follow?"
"Of course we should."
"This outa be good."
"It's not nice to eavesdrop."
As Raven and her many personalities walked toward the new one the world around them began to change.
Trees sprouted up blooming with flowers.
Beautiful gardens appeared everywhere.
The sky turned blue and birds were flying.
And in the far back, on top of a grassy hill, the personality sat with a smile on her face.
Raven slowly walked up to her.
"Who are you?" she asked.
The personality got up and hugged her.
"You know who I am," it said, "you're just afraid to say it."
It then turned to the rest of the personalities.
"Ok everyone; grab a seat, the show's about to begin."
"Show? What show?"
"Oh I love shows!"
"We don't have time for this!"
"Can I be in your show?"
"Who would want to be in this dumb show?"
"You have got to be kidding me."
"I've got to see this."
Raven looked confuse.
The new personality notices it.
"Don't worry. All will be explained. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy." It said.
Raven and the others sat down on the grassy hill.
In front of them a stage formed. On the stage a puppet, like the ones that the Puppet King had, looking like Raven walked on the stage.
Once upon a time there was a girl named Raven.
She was born from a human mother, and a demon father
Two more puppets looking like her mother and father entered the stage.
The mother loved Raven with all her heart and tried desperately to protect her from her evil father.
But the mother could not protect Raven from the evils of Trigon.
The Trigon puppet knocked down the mother puppet.
"No!"
"Mother!"
"I don't want to be reminded of this."
Raven escaped her old home and came to earth.
On earth she met four wonderful people.
A Cyborg, Robin, Starfire, and Beast Boy puppet appeared right next to the Raven one.
For the first time in Raven's life she felt friendship.
It was a feeling that she never wanted to be without.
The five titan puppets move across the stage.
They went on many adventures together.
Some good, some bad, and some that she wishes to not be mention.
But Raven didn't care; as long as she was with her friends the adventures was always good.
Next, only the Beast Boy and Raven puppet were on stage.
Over time Raven started to have a feeling that was more than just friendship for a certain boy.
"WHAT!"
"I did not!"
"He never left me alone."
"Always with his stupid jokes."
"He never left my side."
"He always wanted to make me smile."
"He didn't see me as a demon, just a girl."
"I was so mean to him."
"No matter what I did he kept coming back."
Raven wanted to tell the boy how she felt but she was either too proud or too scared.
So the boy never looked her way and eventually found another girl.
A Terra puppet drop in-between them.
"Boo!"
"That two face bitch!"
"He deserved better."
"Why did he pick her?"
"After the way I treated him any girl would have been better."
But the girl was not what she seemed and broke the boy's heart.
The Terra puppet leaves the stage and the Beast Boy's puppet head drops.
Raven got over the boy but still wanted to feel that same feeling again.
Then one day she had her chance.
On stage a book appeared. Out of the book came a Malchior puppet.
"OH GOD! NOT HIM!"
"I hate him."
"Why did he trick me?"
"Get off the stage!"
A wizard trapped in a book promise Raven that same feeling.
Raven, who simply wanting to feel it again, helped the wizard escaped the book.
The Malchior puppet turned into a dragon.
But the wizard, like the girl, was not was he seemed, and broke Raven's heart.
On stage the Raven puppet, with its head down, was alone. Then out of the corner the Beast Boy's puppet came.
The same boy who Raven had the feeling for came to her.
"I'm sorry he broke your heart." He said.
For he knew what Raven had been through.
"I remember that."
"That was so sweet."
"Why was he so nice?"
"Why didn't I tell him right then and there?"
The Raven puppet then hugged the Beast Boy Puppet.
It was that day that Raven remembered why she had that feeling for the boy in the first place.
The two puppets separated.
But once again Raven was too proud and too scared to tell him.
So the feeling never blossomed.
The stage grew dark and out popped the Trigon puppet.
Eventually the day came when Raven's father found her.
He wanted to use her to destroy earth.
And with his terrible power killed Raven and sent her soul to the underworld.
The Trigon puppet grabbed the Raven puppet and carried her away.
All hope seemed lost.
But one of Raven's friends refused to give up.
The Robin puppet walked onto the stage.
He ventured into the underworld, found Raven's soul, and brought it back to the land of the living.
The Robin puppet is carrying the Raven puppet.
"He risked everything."
"He never gave up."
"He went to hell and back for me…literally."
And with her return, Raven defeated her evil father.
The Raven puppet is striking down the Trigon puppet.
After the battle Raven turned to the boy that brought her back.
And embrace him.
The Raven puppet is hugging the Robin puppet.
And in that moment Raven felt the same feeling that she wanted so much.
The Robin puppet lets go of the Raven puppet and walk towards a Starfire puppet.
But Raven could not tell this boy how she felt either.
For his heart belong to another girl.
And unlike the past ones this girl was exactly what she seemed.
"I can't hate her for that. No matter how much I want to."
"Why her? Why miss goody two shoes?"
"She's perfect for him."
"How could he ever want me when he has her?"
Now on stage is the Raven puppet with the Beast Boy on one side and the Robin on the other.
And now here we are.
And Raven must choose which one to tell the feeling to.
Should she tell it to the one that she wanted to tell it to first but was too proud and scared?
Or should she tell it to the one who's heart belongs to another?
Our story is not over.
Only Raven can end it.
And when she does I will be there.
As the curtain on the stage came to a close the personalities stood up and applauded.
"Bravo."
"Beautiful."
"Ok, it wasn't that bad."
The stage disappeared, and the unknown personality took a bow.
"So," she said as she looked Raven in the eye, "Do you know what I am now?"
Raven nodded.
It was love.
She was in love with Robin and Beast Boy and it scared her to death.
