In the Forest

Raven was crying with her head in her arms on a log, not caring if her clothes were dirty or not. This isn't fair, I know the royals want me to be evil but to do that, that is just WRONG she thought continuing to cry. She was crying so much that she didn't notice someone was approaching her until

"ummm Raven" it took her a while to wrap her head around what she just heard and a little longer to reply

"go away Dexter I want to be alone right now" she sniffled getting a little control of her crying but started hiccupping too.

"But I think that its company that you need Raven" he said sitting next to her "Do you want to talk about it" he asked looking at her.

"No I don't" she said getting into a fresh round of sobs but instead of going away he just sat there and let her cry patting her comfortingly on her shoulder and stroking her hair. Pretty soon she was crying on his shoulder gushing her heart out to him.

"I don't want to be evil, I don't want to hurt people, I don't want to be hated, b-but it seems that every good thing I try to do somehow ends up being viewed as evil [sobs anew]I don't want to be-elieve I'm evil" she finished continuing to cry but it was getting quieter by the minute. As Dexter held her

"Your not evil Raven, your anything but, your smart, kind, beaut-t-t-t" he stammered at the end and stuttered again trying to cover his tracks "I m-mean that you-ur an amazing person and shouldn't w-worry about that they think"

Raven gave him a teary smile "Thanks Dex" she said.

A slightly awkward moment passed Come Dexter get a grip on yourself, Raven is right her in your ARMS and your not going to tell her com on. Just do it…. Take a leap of faith sucking in his breath "Uuuh Raven this may not be the best moment but I've got to tell you something"

he rushed on before he looked at her face or before she could respond "I-I-I-I real-l-y lik-" Raven put her fingers to his lips

"I know"

he stared at her apprehensively waiting for a response

"I feel the same"

upon hearing this Dexter broke into a huge smile and before he could stop himself he kissed Raven who, after a brief pause of surprise at his boldness, returned it.

A sweet gentle yet deep kiss that said all that needed to be said and chased Raven's worries away. Breaking apart for breath he breathed, "Will you be my girlfriend Raven Queen" she smiled

"I thought the kiss meant I already was" she kissed him again with more passion that he returned.

Then suddenly the moment was broken by some giggling they heard behind a nearby tree, motioning for him to stay quiet they went hand in hand around the tree and saw Maddie, Cedar and Cerise right there trying to hold in their giggles.

"oh my wood you two are like one of the cutest couples happily ever after" Cedar gasped as she, Cerise and Maddie tried to get their giggles under control.

"Thanks Cedar, I guess we are" she said smiling at Dexter who raised his eyebrows "you guess?" he jokingly asked "We are" she replied before she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him once more, earning an "Awwww" from the girls and a fake puke from Earl Grey, who had watched the whole sappy ordeal from Maddie's hat.
