Me: Hey everyone! I decided to bring my writing group, The Moon Writers, into a story! I'm stuck in Arizona for a month so they've been emailing me stories galore to post!
Ace: I don't think your stories count as "storied galore", Vi…
Bella: Let her have her fun…
Damian: You're only saying that because while she's gone you're in charge, Bells…
Eliana: So? Bella's waaayyy responsible! She deserves to be in charge! Unlike you, stupid Damian!
Bella: Thank you, Ellie!
Derek: Ellie, dear, you're only saying that because your cousin took the last cookie and you're holding a grudge…
Ellie: SO?! He stole that last cookie that I called dibs on!
Me: Well before my group starts a mutiny, or a war, let me jump into the story!
Ace: Vi and I co-wrote this one and we call it "How We Started".
Me: It's a Raven Beast Boy fic, and it's very much how Derek and Ellie's love story went… So w/out further hostilities! I don't own Teen Titans, because if I did, I would be rich and happier. And I give credit to Ace for helping me write this.
Ellie: He stole it and I'm never gonna' forgive him! (runs out crying)
Derek: I'll go talk to her…
Me: Start story!
How We Started:
It started with a hug. After all that had happened to me, he was just there! After all my heart break from that evil dragon, Beast Boy was medicine to my wounded heart It felt right to hug him, hold him close and make him mine; even if only for a small moment in time… If Cyborg hadn't thrown the Stank-Ball, I would have held onto him forever…
The hug lead to a nickname… He didn't care how much I yelled at him for calling me "Rae" he kept calling me it. After awhile, the name stuck and everyone started calling me by that horrid, but beloved nickname. I had to love the name because it was a part of who he was. It was something that related to BB… And I loved everything about him.
The nickname crashed down to our morning time. One morning, he was just there; sitting at the table of the common room, pot of tea ready for me, and sipping his coffee. At first I was hurt, and mad that he had invaded my time; the mornings were my domain; my time alone and he had invaded. Soon, though, I realized I couldn't be mad st him because I already loved him so much…
Our morning times led to talking. He started, holding the conversation pretty much by himself, only letting me get a few words in. Soon, though, I found my voice and started talking with him. We learned how much we had really missed in the years we had fought together. Mornings became our time; the only time he saw the real me, and I could show some of my love… His words sent shivers down my back and comforted me; they held me up when I was down, wrapped around me when I was asleep at night; and made me fall even more helplessly in love…
He says that it ended with a kiss. One morning I slipped; I passed that line we had made so faintly in the dirt of our friendship. I had said those three, dirty words that were so true, and could ruin me forever… He just smiled, and said,
"I know that Rae… I love you too…"
Then he pulled me into a hug, just like the one that had started this all, and kissed me. It was a short and gentle kiss, but all the words we hadn't said over the years, and all our pent-up passion was put into it. He says that's what ended the story.
I disagree. You see, that kiss wasn't an end, so it couldn't have ended with a kiss. That kiss was a beginning; the beginning of my life with Beast Boy, Garfield Logan. My life began that day because I finally had everything I'd ever wanted; him.

Me: I thought this one was sooo sweet! Ace and I worked way hard and I hope everyone enjoys it!
Ace: Well I only spell checked it, Vi. You should take most of the credit…
Me: But it was your idea to turn Der-Bear and Ellie's story into a BBxRae story…
Bella: Yes, yes, you're both brilliant! Now lets move on before the mushy gushy couple crap starts!
Damian: You're such a killjoy, Bella-Bear…
Bella: Whatever, R&R readers! I love Ace and Vi but I prefer anime and fictional romance!
Eliana: Damian I'm sorry for getting angry… I forgive you for stealing my cookie.
Derek: Now see that wasn't so-
Damian: I didn't steal your damned cookie!
Ellie: Did too!
Damian: Did not!
Derek: (sighs as the two cousins bicker in the background) Please R&R to keep me sane?
