Chapter 1: Prologue

Raven walked though the sliding doors of the tower living room. After the titans came back from Tokyo, everything had been pretty boring. Starfire and Robin were a couple, Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing all the games they could get that seemed to keep coming from Tokyo, and Raven was…well, she was being Raven. She looked over at the Boy Wonder, only to see him making out with Starfire. Her stomach dropped, and she felt queasy. Ever since she defeated Trigon with his help, she had the smallest crush on him, which was rapidly growing into something that could possibly be something more.

Something exploded in the corner of the room.

"DUDE! I was just about to run Cy off the track! Why did this happen now?!"

"You're right, BB. I WAS winning. And you never would have run me off; I would have just beaten you, just like always."

Starfire and Robin temporarily looked in their general direction, then at Raven, and then resumed shoving their tongues down each others' throats.

"Not that I don't LOVE a good make-out session, could you guys PLEASE. GET. A. ROOM!?"

"Fine, Raven. Thanks for the suggestion"

Raven silently groaned. Great. Now they're probably going to get a room for other disturbing reasons. Damn these stupid emotions. I had to like someone who likes someone else, not to mention with her. Actually, I had to LIKE someone. Why me?

Raven quickly disappeared into blackness. She levitated towards her room, and went to meditate. For the next few hours, she meditated without any disturbances or distractions.

"Azarath Metrion Zintho-"

"Hey, Raven. We're going out to get some pizza for dinner. Are you going to come?" Ugh, the Boy Wonder himself. At least that was a long, quiet meditation. Raven slightly opened her door. "Yeah, sure. But as long as Beast Boy doesn't tell any stupid jokes."

"Sorry, can't promise anything."

Raven sighed. She should have told him no making out. Just then an evil thought came up in her head. She smiled so evil her father would have been scared. Robin's eyes widened to the size of basketballs. "Raven, w-why are you st-staring at me l-like that?" Raven put on her innocent look. "What are you talking about, Robin?"

"You just-you-ugh, never mind." Robin turned and started to walk away, and Raven followed, letting a small smirk cross her face.

"Wipe that smug look off your face," said Robin without even turning around. Raven stopped, and her eyes slightly widened. Then she scowled at the back of his head, and continued to walk. Raven and Robin walked into the garage, where everyone was waiting.

"So are we all riding in the T-Car, 'cuz I got some new jokes. Raven, these jokes will make you laugh so hard that you piss your uniform!" Typical Beast Boy.

"But your face already does that to me. That's why I'm not looking at you in the eye," she said monotonously. Cyborg and Robin burst out laughing, while Starfire was confused.

"How does his face do such things? Does it have the super-powers that we all acquire?" This comment made Cyborg laugh harder, but Robin just looked pissed off. "Are we going or what? Since Raven doesn't want to hear Beast Boy's jokes, why don't I take Raven on the R-cycle?"

"How about when rats fly? Oh wait, Beast Boy already does, so will you settle for a no?" This made Cyborg and Robin laugh harder than they did before. Silently, Starfire was relieved Raven didn't want to ride with her beloved Robin.

"OK, can we go now?"

"I'd rather listen to BB's jokes, so I'll go in the T-car. Thanks anyways." The minute Raven sat in the T-car, she started to mentally kick herself. Ugh, why did I just pass a chance to hold on to Robin? I'm such an idiot.

The Titans came home after two hours of bad jokes, three pizzas, and too many sarcastic jokes.

"-and the Glorgen said 'BEHOFF MURSHENFLORX!'" Starfire's laughter could be heard across town. The rest of the Titans laughed, but not because of the joke. They were laughing at what Beast Boy was doing. This time, even Raven joined in temporarily. The group dispersed, and went to some of their normal activities. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games, and Starfire went to play with Silkie. Raven pulled Robin aside, and asked him, "Can I talk to you? Privately?"

"Yeah, sure."

Raven and Robin exited the room, and Raven followed Robin into his room. This wasn't that unusual anymore, since everyone tried on his clothes, pretending to be him.

"So, what's up?"

"I can't believe I'm actually doing this, but Robin, I-"

All of a sudden, the alarm went off. Starfire called to them, "Friends! It is Aqualad!"

The two birds ran off to the living room. Robin shouted his usual thing, "TITANS, GO!"

Raven mentally sighed. She was so glad that Aqualad caused a distraction. But wait…Aqualad isn't evil, and that was a 'someone was attacking' siren. Why were they saying it was Aqualad?

Author's Notes:

That meant yelling at Beast Boy, sarcasm, quiet, meditating; I think you get the idea…

The tongue thing is veeery possible for Starfire, by the way.
