Chapter 6 Test 2

 

After lunch was eaten the Titans and Dayner assembled at the same spot on the lawn. Orax was frowning.

“We do have another trial, but first it seems that Raven will not be allowed to watch this. Since you have not contained your emotions, or gained control of them. My older sister is of course prejudiced when it comes to the trials, so I will have my wife Nayanni help you while the guys go about their trials.” Raven nodded and was led over to a pretty young woman with Dark blue tinted hair and the pale grey skin of her people. She did not seem as rude as Sayoki. Orax then addressed Dayner and Beastboy.

“Now we need to know what kind of cunning you have, this is only the second of the 4 trials. This one is not as hard as the ones to come. You will simply play a game of chess, but instead of guarding the King like most games, you must guard both your King and Queen. To say that they will represent you and your better half. All pieces will have the same abilities. You may have no help from your friends, and the goal is to check mate with the King and Queen both intact. Come with me the game is over here, you shall begin shortly. Beastboy cursed himself; there was no way that he was going to win this. He could barely beat Cyborg at video games. Plus this required real intellect, something he lacked. Oh well, if it was for Raven then he had to try his hardest!

~With Raven and Nayanni~

“Raven you can call me Nay, I am not as hard headed as my sister in law. She is a little worried since her son is so late to wed…”

“I was wondering why that was, He seems like a good catch. Why is he still unmarried?”

”Well no one seems to know. He does have quite a following of women, and he has been of age for a year. But now that you have come he seems to have an interest in marriage. You can see why his mother wishes you to be his wife.” Raven nodded. This planet was just too odd for her; she had to get back home! “Raven dear, have you ever kissed anyone?” Nay asked kindly.

“No, I know that certain emotions flow when you are kissed, so I haven't done it yet.”

“Understandable, but there is a way to kiss with out destroying all that is around you. You must simply focus all your emotion to the person that you are kissing. It does require some energy, but you must understand, it is not proper here on Azarath to go about and kiss whomever. Still the kiss is very important, it will leave you with a nice tingling feeling inside, or nothing. You will then know who you are meant to be with.” Nay smiled. Raven sat silently, she was retreating into her thoughts, why Dayner? Why now, if only Beastboy had said something sooner. Yes Dayner was very handsome, but not in the same way that Beastboy was. Bb had a lean form, a great personality, and possibly her heart. It was only luck that no one connected her favorite book `Ogre, Ogre' to her. She wished she was the nymph, and Beastboy her ogre. If only…

~With Bb~

He was totally and utterly screwed, since the game was such an important matter they had been taking their time. It had been about 3 hours and few pieces had been taken. 2 pawns were missing from Dayner's side and 3 pawns a horse and his black bishop had been taken from Bb.

“Why don't you give up now? You are going to lose.” Dayner said darkly.

“Even if I do, I wouldn't quit without trying my best. I love Raven, and I will do all I can to make sure that she is in the best of hands, even if they aren't mine.”

“Your pretty words are wasted; she is not here to hear what you say!' Dayner said.

“And why would I say it just because she is here? You obviously do not care for her as much as me!” Beastboy said angrily. He knew that Dayner was trying to distract him, but nothing could, he reminded himself this was for Raven. The game dragged on, at about 5pm Raven came back; only to watch Beastboy's defeat. He had captured all of Dayner's pieces except for a Rook, a white bishop and the king and Queen. He had almost gotten a pawn across the board but his King was surrounded and check-mated by the enemy Queen and her Rook.

“The winner is Dayner! Both Dayner and The green boy have won a round. Tomorrow the trial will last most of the day, and you need to get up and be here by 6am. I will see you tomorrow. Beastboy looked utterly destroyed, nothing Robin or Starfire said could lift his mood.

“Do you have movies and stuff here?” Speedy asked Dayner.

“Yes of course we do, we even have some of your earth movies. Why do you ask?”

“We should have a movie night!” Aqualad said.

“Exactly what I was thinking!” Speedy said, edging closer to the water boy. Robin whispered to Starfire,

“They seem a bit close don't they?”

“If you mean close as how you and I should be, then yes.” Starfire said clasping Robin's arm. Raven tried to talk to Bb, a depressed Bb just wasn't normal!

“Rae, I can't talk now, I am just disappointed ok?”

“Beastboy you never play chess! You've watched Robin and I play like once or twice! And you still managed to almost beat him! I bet if you played him again you would beat him.”

“Your right, and I can win against him more, but Raven I don't want to do this if you don't have any feelings for me. To win you, and not have you want it, well that would be an empty victory…” He sighed.

“Beastboy, I do care for you, and above all I know you better then Dayner. I am not really in a position to choose, just like Sayoki said…”

“You can always choose! I know that living without you would be the hardest thing in the world. But if that is what is best for you, or if you are happier with someone else then so-” Beastboy was muffled by Raven suddenly pressing her lips against his. In his shock he barely even responded, a deflated,

“Oh…” trailed from his mouth. Raven smiled before walking to join the rest of her friends for dinner. They found some good movies to watch, like `The Sixth Sense' and `Dream Catcher'. Everyone settled onto the couches, Sayoki had a really big flat-screen TV. Robin and Starfire settled at the end of the dark purple couch, Aqualad and Speedy settled at the other end. Raven and Beastboy sat in the middle and Dayner and Terra sat at their feet. Once the lights went out Robin and Starfire started making out, and small whimpers and moans could be heard aside from the movie. Beastboy found himself staring, actually everyone except for Aqualad and Speedy were watching. They were so absorbed in watching them that they did not notice Aqualad pulling Speedy into his lap. They were cuddled quite close and Speedy had his head on Aqua's shoulder. Raven was the first to notice, she nudged Bb.

“Holy shit!” He whispered softly, before turning away, the two had also started making out. Raven felt awkward, all couples on the couch excluding her and Beastboy were tangled in heavy lip-locks. Beastboy turned toward her slowly, she tensed afraid he was going to start a make-out session with her.

“Look Rae, hey I'm not going to do anything. But are you sure that you even wanted to kiss me? I mean I am a ugly gree-” Once again Raven silenced him with her mouth… after all a make-out session did not seem so bad after all…
