A/N: sorry again guys for being the worst updater. Ever. I can't believe people are still following this story! Well, I'm glad you are and don't wanna loose you guys ^_^ so I tried my best to get out a good chappy. I dunno...this one was really hard for some reason. I'm having somewhat writers block for this, which stinks because I love it! Well, I'm just gonna experiment with different ideas for the time being! Hope you like!

Chapter three

"LOVE? Are you kidding me? I don't LOVE Beast Boy! I don't even like him! He's annoying, and weird and idiotic!" I was on the verge of blowing up. Love Beast Boy? My mind must be malfunctioning.

"We aren't malfunctioning, Raven. In fact, we're probably working better than ever, with our new discovery and all. And, you would be surprised at how much more we know than you. Especially referring to your feelings towards others. It's quite intriguing." intelligence said with a knowing smile.

I rolled my eyes. "Can I just talk to love? Now? Where is she?" I demanded. The thought at actually talking to love was not one I had considered in a long time. But, in this predicament, it was simply necessary.

Intelligence pointed to a table not far from us were an emotion in a light purple cloak sat, drawing on a piece of paper.

"Okay" I said "Thank you. I'll be back with you later." I glared at her as I walk off. She just shrugged.

I slowly walked over to my long lost emotion. This was sure to be the most awkward conversation ever.

"Um, hello?" I said

"Hello." she looked up from the paper and smiled at me. "We have not talked before. I am love. Please. Sit." she motioned to the empty chair across from her.

She seemed like a mixture of a less obnoxious version of happy and a simplified version of intelligence. But, I had only exchanged a few words with her, so there was no way to be sure.

I sat down, peering slightly at her paper. It was covered in hearts. Oh brother. I looked at it more closely. Written inside those very hearts were 'Raven + Beast Boy' and various thing of the like. Gross.

"Hello...uh...Love" even saying her name was menacing.

"Raven." she said with a nod, then looking back down at her paper. "I think we should discuss some things"

"Yes. There seems to be a huge misunderstanding. You see, I don't, nor have I ever, loved Beast Boy. He's annoying and not even remotely funny and if he's anything, he's my teammate. That's it."

"Raven," she said kindly, making direct eye contact with me "Beast Boy is sweet. He's charming, helpful, caring and at least attempts to be funny. That has to count for SOMETHING. You are becoming closer to him, getting to know him better and better and subconsciously realizing how wonderful he really is" She sighed, dreamily, but continued her little rant. "You are slowly but surely falling for him, even if you want to deny it."

"Well," I said "you better get you facts straight, I know who I love, and it's no one. I don't know what's going on with that girly little head of yours but it's definitely not good! It's screwed up forever thinking for a moment that Beast Boy and I would end up together!" I was getting angrier by the second. Great. That was JUST what I needed.

"Raven. You need to calm down. This may be a little shocking but it's nothing to be upset over." She was so composed. She hadn't looked even the least bit frightened over my little outburst. She hadn't even flinched.

Still, I glared at her.

"Just take a day or so to soak in the idea. Nobody's forcing you to fall for him, it's just happening. And, eventually, you will realize it and learn to accept it. You will realize it IS what you want and what you've been longing for. The reason I'm here is to help you sort out your feelings along the way and keep them under control. This is part of the 'teaching' intelligence was talking about."

"Whatever." I said, rolling my eyes, though listening intently to her every word, mentally making a note of everything she had said. I needed all the information I could get about this weird situation I was in.

After a second, I realized all I wanted to do was get out. I wanted to back to the tree I was sitting under and read my book. "I can't take this." I said. "I'll be back when I can actually handle all of this insanity."

She gave me a nod of approval, even though I would have left without one. I closed my eyes and when I reopened them, I was back in the park, under the tree where I had been meditating.

I looked around and wondered how long I had been 'gone', so to speak. I did realize that my teammates were starting to pack up to leave. Five seconds later, Starfire practically bounced over to were I was.

"Friend Raven! You are done with the meditation! We are in the midst of preparing for our trip back home. Would you like to assist us?" She asked, in her usual bubbly mood.

"Sorry but, I was just about to start reading the next few chapters of my book." I told her. I didn't want to be rude. I just felt so tired to the point where the only thing I really thought I'd be able to do, was hold a book. Which was strange. I'm not normally tired at all. I simply just sleep because I have nothing else to do in the hours of night.

"Oh, do not worry for a moment, dear teammate. We have plenty of hands to help do the working already. I do hope you enjoy your book!" Starfire responded, with a huge smile on her face. I honestly don't understand how one person can be so happy all the time. It just doesn't seem logical.

*~•~•~*

This car ride wasn't as bad as the last one.

It was far worse.

Beast Boy just continued to interrogate me about the recent events of explosions caused by me. I tried my absolute best to ignore him, but one can only ignore up to a certain point. I was about to reach my point.

"Come on Rae! What is UP with-" Beast Boy started to ask. AGAIN. But I cut him off.

"First of all, my name is RAVEN. Get it straight. Second, my powers are far too complex for anyone to understand. Especially you. The simplified version is that they are going out of control, at time being. I want them to go back to normal as soon as possible and for that to happen; I need you to stop being such an IDIOT and stop asking your stupid questions! Got it?"

I didn't completely explode. I just raised my voice a bit. Nobody was cowering in a corner. Nobody looked as if they were going to cry. So we all know I didn't explode. But I definitely know I got my point across because all Beast Boy did was look at me sort of confused, nod and didn't say another word for the entire car ride. It was heavenly.

Too bad it only lasted for about two minutes. By then, we were back at the tower, were Beast Boy was sure to bother me some more.

A/N: Did you like? Ah! Please guys, I need reviews. If you're taking the time to read this, the least you could do is tell me how I'm doing!

If everyone who reads this chapter (whether you have an account or not) reviewed and gave one little piece of criticism, I would have a purpose to get the next chapter out quick and with good quality!

Please! I have no one else to tell me these things!
