"You both make a good point," you say. "Argent is allowed to think what she wants to think."

"Thank you," Argent says.

"But..." you continue. "She should also be considerate of someone with extrasensory perceptions."

"So in the end, I still have to stop," Argent says.

"Well, if you're being considerate," you say.

Argent sits up while pouting.

"Then I guess I'm not considerate," she says. "I'll go somewhere else to be with my thoughts."

You and Raven sit up as Argent starts moving off the bed.

"Hey, hold on," Raven says as she follows. "What is with you lately?"

"What's with me?" Argent asks back. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well, you've just been... primed and ready to go all weekend," Raven says. "What's that about?"

Argent frowns while looking down and to the side.

"It's nothing," she grumbles.

"Argent, we just went over this," Raven says. "I'm an Empath, so I can also tell you're lying. There's something deep down. Like, deeeep down, but still."

Argent brings her knees to her chest and wraps her arms around her legs as she sulks.

"I dunno..." she says. "I guess I just... feel a little lonely. Maybe a little jealous, too. I mean, Robin and Starfire have been like the couple, Jinx has had her on-again-off-again with Kid Flash, and you're the one getting married."

"Okay, what's that supposed to mean?" Raven asks.

"C'mon," Argent says. "A year ago, did you think you were gonna be in such a great relationship, let alone getting married?"

"Well.. no..."

"Yeah, and so like, you completely blew past everybody in your relationship," Argent says, "and I just wish I even had a starting point."

Raven looks to you but you don't have a solution, either.

"Well, think of it this way," Raven says. "If even I, the grumpy and brooding goth girl, can find the guy of my dreams, then certainly a more upbeat and outgoing goth girl like you can find yours."

"You really think so?" Argent asks.

"Yeah," Raven says. "Anything's possible."

Argent smiles, lets her legs go and surprises Raven with a hug.

"Alright, alright," Raven says as she pats Argent on the back. "You can stay if you want, but you really do need to get your mind off of Rorek and this fantasy you've come up with."

"But how...?" Argent says.

"By thinking about other stuff, obviously," Raven says. "Stuff that'll help you fall asleep, for that matter."

A) Think of a TV show or movie
B) Try a word game
C) Try good ol' fashioned counting sheep
