"Ohhh Raven!" A voice interrupted my meditation. I opened one eye to see Beast Boy's green reflection from the window. He was standing near the commonroom door. I sighed and closed my eye again.

I answered curtly, "What?"

Beast Boy's footsteps thudded on the floor as I felt him get closer to me. His emotions indicated that he was really happy. That could only mean one thing... He has a new joke. "You wanna hear a new joke?" I knew it.

"Not really," I tried to keep my breathing steady. Could he not see that I was meditating??

Beast Boy, not caring about my answer, went ahead and started to tell his joke. "What do you call a Beast Boy and Raven squashed together between two slices of bread?" He asked me. I finally gave up and stood up from the floor, eying him.

"A BB and Rae sandwich!!" He started to laugh uncontrollably. I rolled my violet eyes and watched him as he tried to calm himself down. "Get it?" He finally said, wiping away a tear. "A BB and Rae sandwich?" He laughed more.

I groaned and crossed my arms. Then, he stopped laughing and I said simply. "Can you go away?"

"Not unless I get a smile from you," He pushed. Now he was being risky. I never smile. Especially not for him. Then, something hit me. Maybe I could make a deal out of this.

I uncrossed my arms and put them on my hips. "Fine," I started, "I smile for you, and you leave me alone until I say so. Got it?"

"Fine with me!" Beast Boy shrugged. Sighing, I let the corners of my mouth curl up slightly. At the sight of this, Beast Boy's green eyes shined like stars. Even though my smile only lasted about three seconds, he was happy. With a grateful smile, he thanked me and turned around. "See you later, Rae." And with that, he was gone.

I was about to sit down and meditate again when Starfire flew in, carrying a movie and popcorn and candy. I groaned again. First Beast Boy, now Starfire? "Friend Raven! I wish to partake in the activity of a stay home movie night! Our friends have already agreed it would be most enjoyable if we-,"

"Look Starfire," I interrupted, "As much as I want to see… what movie are we seeing?"
Starfire looked at the movie. "A Walk to Remember," she read off the case. My heart stopped. That was an amazing movie. I just couldn't say no to that.

"Fine," I simply answered. I sat down on the couch and looked out the window at the setting sun. It was around five in the afternoon and I know that we usually start movie night at 5:30. So, I had about thirty minutes to spare. I teleported to my room and picked up a book from my bed. I opened up to the page that I left off on and started to read. Then, all of a sudden, the alarm went off. With a huff, I put down my book and floated to the commonroom.

Robin started to explain what was happening. "It's Plasmus. He's awakened and he's attacking the city. The coordinates are on your communicators. Titans, move out!" The boy wonder instructed. Everyone exited the tower and located Plasmus. I was sick and tired of Plasmus already. Without waiting for anyone to start fighting, I flew up to the gooey creature and let him swallow me whole.

With a burst of magic, Plasmus exploded, leaving a very skinny man sleeping on the concrete. Turning back to my friends, I wiped off some goo. They all were shocked. "What?" I asked them

Robin just walked past me to retrieve the sleeping man. He took him to the police car. "Friend Raven…" Starfire walked up to me. "That was very… how do you say it? Cool." She hugged me.

"Thanks…" I tried to breathe as her arms crushed my ribs. I saw Beast Boy standing there with Cyborg talking about something. Cyborg must have said something because Beast Boy gasped and covered his mouth with a loud 'Dude!' and whispering something. I rolled my eyes at the boys' immaturity and listened to Starfire ask me questions about my powers.

GENERAL POV

"Yo, that was awesome," Cyborg said out loud. Beast Boy turned to him and smiled.

He then looked back at the empath and sighed. "Yeah, isn't she something?"

Cyborg shrugged. "Yo, you gotta stop obsessin' about Raven. Maybe you should just tell her that you lo-,"

"Dude!" Beast Boy covered up the mechanical man's mouth. He whispered, "She might hear you!"

Cyborg pried the gloved hand off his mouth and caught his breath. Beast Boy ran a hand through his green hair. "Raven can't know that I am in love with her… she'll hate me for it. I know she already can't stand me. What happens if she finds out I love her?" The green teenager sighed. He watched the Goth beauty talk with Starfire. He said, "A guy like me doesn't deserve a girl like her… She's so amazing. She's smart and beautiful. She can speak, like, six languages and is so kind to people when she wants to be. God and that body… How can anybody stand looking at her without getting a boner??"

With a shiver, the robot gagged. "I don't wanna hear about Rae that way, man. She's like my sister." Turning to Beast Boy, Cyborg realized that he wasn't listening. His eyes were wide open and he was kind of drooling. Cyborg waved a hand in front of Beast Boy's face. With a jump, Beast Boy turned to his friend.

"Dude… I was having a daydream!" The changeling whined.

Cyborg rolled his eyes and walked off to join his friends. "I don't wanna know what it was about…" Beast Boy wiped off the drool from his face and ran up to his friends.
