U FOR UMBRELLA

As the rain poured down in sheets, Raven and Beast Boy hurried through the bustling city streets, seeking shelter from the storm. With a shared glance, they darted under a nearby awning, huddling close together to escape the downpour."We should have checked the forecast," Beast Boy joked, his voice drowned out by the drumming of rain on the pavement.Raven rolled her eyes, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "You think?"With a resigned shrug, Beast Boy pulled out an umbrella from his backpack, holding it aloft to shield them from the rain. "Well, at least we won't get completely soaked now."Raven eyed the umbrella skeptically, noting its garish purple and green design. "Nice choice," she quipped, unable to hide her amusement at the ridiculous color scheme.Beast Boy grinned, waggling his eyebrows playfully. "Hey, purple and green are totally in this season. Plus, it matches my costume."Raven chuckled, shaking her head in mock exasperation. "Of course it does."As they continued on their journey home, they shared the umbrella between them, their laughter mingling with the sound of raindrops on the pavement. Despite the dreary weather, there was a warmth between them that chased away the chill of the storm.And as they reached their destination, Raven couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the unexpected bond that had formed between them. The purple and green umbrella, so ironic in its symbolism, had become a testament to their friendship, their partnership, and the colorful journey they shared together.
