Honesty is always best!

You tell her exactly what you heard her mumbling. By the time you finish she has redressed in her familiar blue cloak and placed the hood over her head to hide her embarrassment.

?I don?t think we should?? Raven begins.

Oh crap you think to yourself, the cold withdrawn Raven has taken over again. If you don?t act fast you may not ever see that soft side of her again.

?Don?t worry about it, the dream I mean. It?s not like I?m taking it seriously. I mean, I had a dream last night in which Starfire ate an entire five gallon pail of ice cream in one bite and it?s not like anyone could actually do that? why are you laughing at me??

?It?s not at you per say, it?s your dream that I?m laughing at.?

?See, that?s my point! It?s not like I expect Starfire to actually eat an entire??

?She did, just last week. It was perhaps the most unfeminine and unappetizing thing I had ever seen.?

You couldn?t help but laugh; in fact you couldn?t help but laugh uncontrollably. The image of such a petite girl enlarging her head and mouth to the size needed to consume that much ice cream is completely cartoonish.

It seems laughter is contagious for it doesn?t take long before Raven changed from being embarrassed and withdrawn to laughing with you as well.

?Why do you do that? Why do you always make me feel better? How do you know how to make me smile?? Raven questions you after our laughter died down.

?It?s just what boyfriends and girlfriends do. When I see that you?re sad I want to make you happy. When you?re tired I want to comfort you. When you?re lonely I want to be with you.?
