Raven

"Aargh!" I yelled as something disgustingly gooey dripped down my face.

I had just walked into one of Beast Boy's traps set for Cyborg.

I was ready to kill him.

This was the third time that something unnatural had happened to me, thanks to Beast Boy and Cyborg's never ending rivalry. It was like they were little kids! They'd never grow up, never...

I felt my eyes heat up as I spotted Beast Boy lounging in front of the huge TV. He was relaxed and definently not aware of his impending doom.

I lurked over until I was standing right behind him. He lazily pressed the remote and changed it to the animal channel. Immediately he was immersed into watching his close relatives poop on live television; the baboon.

I didn't know whether to laugh or pummel him right there.

Leaning near his ear, I whispered, "Boo."

As predicted, Beast Boy jumped a mile high, turning into a baboon himself.

I let out a small laugh and then got back to business.

"Ooh ooh AHHHH!!!" Beast Boy babbled before he switched back into his normal form.

"Dude! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!" Beast Boy exclaimed before taking in my decidedly sticky attire.

Then he exploded laughing. Tears of mirth were streaming down his face.

I began to levitate the TV, a serious look on my face.

"I will break it...over your head." I threatened. I so wanted to squash him like the annoying bug he was.

Beast Boy winced. "Aw Raven, I didn't mean it. It was just..."

"You will not utter one more word or it's no more TV." Now I wouldn't really break the tv. I liked it too much. But he didn't know that.

He immediately shut up.

I set the TV down with a huff and none too gently either. Oh well. If it was damaged, Cyborg could fix it later.

I splattered some of the goo on Beast Boy before I left.

"Ewww! It got it my mouth!!!"

I smirked as I trudged up the stairs, a little satisfied. I wasn't finished with him, not by a long shot.

As I approached my room, I heard some voices coming from Robin's room.

I was so nosey.

Standing there for a few moments, I rolled my eyes as I recognized Starfire's voice. They always had so much drama between them. We all wished they would just hook up already and be done with it. It was obvious that Robin liked Starfire as much as she liked him. I didn't see what the problem was. Robin was just so dang set on being a lone hero. He clearly thought that he didn't need anybody at all.

While that may be true, he didn't have to drag Starfire into this. He was a recluse and should have kept himself away from her. But he didn't. He encouraged the frustration and low key fights between them.

And that made Starfire all the more determined.

I sighed quietly as I reached my room. I couldn't help but wonder...

Would there ever be someone like that in my life? Someone that I really wanted like Starfire did. I really didn't see that happening.

And then there was the whole thing with me being cursed to destroy the world.

I showered and changed my clothes quickly. I ended up heading to Cyborg's room. I was a bit worried about the TV's well being. We all worshipped that thing.

I knew this wasn't going to be a pleasant visit though.

I knocked once on his door and crossed my arms. I really didn't want to do this but...it would be my fault if the TV was broken.

"Um, hold on...just one second!"

I frowned as I heard him shuffling around. He was hiding something. But I quickly shrugged it off. He was allowed to have secrets, as long as it wasn't anything threatening us or the world. Then it was fine.

Finally, Cyborg appeared at the door looking down at me with surprise.

"Raven." He finally said. "Um, what's up?"

"The TV might be broken. If it is, it's all Beast Boy's fault." I said blankly. I couldn't wait for Cy to get BB for this. It was worth lying about.

Cyborg clenched his fists. "What? That little green...."

I was already floating back downstairs. There was a slight smile on my face.

Robin

It was so early in the morning and already my head was aching.

The beams of sunlight streaking across my room were not lifting my mood in the least bit. Yesterday I had been led on a wild goose chase by one of Slade's lackeys. I ended up putting that loser in jail but made zero progress in figuring out who Slade was and what he wanted from me.

I growled at myself. I was so frustrated.

Someone knocked on my door.

I was not in the mood to be civil to anybody today.

"Robin? Are you...awake?" Came the sweet voice of Starfire.

Ok, so maybe I could talk to her. She hadn't done anything wrong to me, I reasoned.

"Come in." I allowed her in.

Starfire smiled as soon as her eyes met mine. My heart gave an uneven thump. I found myself grinning back in response to her.

"What's up?" I asked as we sat down on the couch in my room.

Starfire's eyebrows knitted together. "Um, I believe the sky and ceiling along with light fixtures are up. Other than that, everything is on the ground."

I shook my head as I tried not to laugh at her. It wasn't her fault that the English language was so confusing. I even had some trouble with it.

"No, I meant, what brings you here this morning?" I tried to clear it up with her.

"My feet."

"Star..."

Starfire giggled. "I am joking, no?"

"OK, you got me." I smiled at her.

Starfire then bit her lip nervously. I was entranced but also worried that something was wrong.

"Um, I would like to...spend the day with you. That is, if there is no danger today." Starfire said hesitantly.

I tilted my head to the side. "But we already spend the day together. Everyday."

Starfire blushed. "I know. I meant, if you would like, to really spend the day together. Alone. Away from the Titan Tower."

Oh.

"You mean, like a date?"

"Yes! That is the word. On my planet, it is basically enjoying each other's company, alone. I hope it is the same here?"

I nodded, but I was caught up in my thoughts. A date? With Starfire?

I was going to have a heart attack with this one.

Of all the things she....

I smiled finally, which she returned.

"That'd be great Star. Really."

"Great!" She stood up quickly, her eyes flashing.

"So what'd you have planned?" I asked her, standing also.

Starfire grabbed my hand, giving me butterflies in my stomache. It was just a simple gesture and I went off the deep end everytime.

"I'll show you! We can go right now!" She pulled me out of my room. I couldn't really resist because she was super strong so....

But I didn't want to resist.

I could take a break right now after last night. What better way to spend the day? This was must more preferable than sitting around in the Tower waiting for someone to need our help. It was pathetic at how boring my social life was.

But that was one of the sacrifices of being a hero.

Beast Boy

I wondered if it had worked yet.

Last night, I had set up a flawless goo-bomb near Cyborg's room. I wanted to rub it in that he'd lost the game yesterday. Just because. There was no way that it'd miss him unless someone else walked into it. I was fully counting on Cyborg taking the spill though.

And then I'd take really embarressing pictures of him and paste it on Facebook and Flickr.

I am a mad genius I tell you. It is fool proof.

Of course, I was totally not prepared for what would happen this morning.

I found myself fearing for my life as Raven glared daggers at me.

Of course, she'd never really hurt me. We might have gotten into some fights and maybe wished the other ill once in a while, but that's what we did. We were family.

But what she did was over the top.

She threatened to bash in the TV!!!! She had it off the floor and over my head in seconds!

I hadn't known what dark evil had possessed her. I was totally ready to tackle her.

But long story short, my prank had failed and gotten Raven. The TV was a little shaky but still had a good picture.

And my mouth tasted like ass.

I must remember to make better tasting goo. Just in case.

I was halfway to my room when I was stopped by a very mad, very big Cyborg.

Uh oh.

I racked my head to see what he could possibly be upset about. The prank had gotten Raven, not him. And he should be over losing the game already.

"Man, what is wrong with you?!" He started off, pissed.

I stared at him, bug eyed.

"Nothing! Why are you so mad?"

"Oh like you don't know. You busted the TV, you monkey!"

I paused, dumbfounded. But that wasn't me.

Oh wait.

"Raven told you that huh? Because I did not do such an evil thing! Raven levitated it and slammed it down. Be mad at her!" I quickly set him straight.

"Rae? But why...."

I sheepishly looked at my feet.

"I may have set up a prank that she accidentally walked into. And she may have gotten pissed off at me."

"I'm so going to kill you man."

"What!!!"
