Oh So Young

Pozest-Illusion

Summary: At what age are you fully considered 'grown up'? When are you old enough for people to have to STOP calling you sweetie? Star would sure like to know. How come Star always gets the 'sweetie treatment' when she isn't even the youngest? Rob and Star; Raven and BB, please R and R.

A/N: Star may be a bit Out of Character; I haven't seen many recent episodes so… Yeah. I'm trying my best, and if something sounds 'un-Starish', sorry. ;) Oh jah, and I do NOT own Teen titans. Nope not a single one.

Star sat next to Robin on her usual place on the couch. Tonight they had decided to go out to dinner, and not at a fast food restaurant for once. No they were going to a high-class sit down restaurant. And even though Star didn't quite understand what that meant, it didn't stop her from being excited. "Robin, when are we to leave? Is it not yet time?"
"5 more minutes Star, let Beast boy and Cyborg finish their game okay?" She happily agreed, though she noticed Robin's eyes never left the screen.

Raven stepped through the door, and out of the hall. Since the restaurant was fancy the titans had decided to dress fancy. She was wear a black and dark purple dress, with a triangular neckline, a purple rose choker, and tight boots that were like corsets for her legs. "I'm wearing a dress." Raven said in disbelief. "And looking great in it too", added Beastboy who had set down his controller to ogle Raven. Raven struggled not to blush, "I've never seen a green tux…", she said to change the subject. Beastboy's car slammed into a random tree (in the game), "Oh CRAP!" Raven again struggled not to laugh at the most said phrase of the year. Star cocked her head, in a clueless manner all her own, "What is this 'crap' Beastboy speaks of?" "I'll explain it to you later". Robin promised finally taking his eyes off the screen, "Whoa!" He hadn't seen Star the whole time. And if RAVEN looked good in her dress, Star was drop dead gorgeous. Her innocent child-like look plastered perfectly on her face, and he green eyes sparkled. Robin was at a total loss for words. Lets just say Stars dress was light purple, with a rectangular neckline, and a LOW back, criss-cross straps. Ooer. "Something wrong?" "I didn't know you were so… Oh look at the time! Lets go!" said Robin wishing he had a backbone. Cyborg stood up wearing his tie, he was the least dressed up; not that hew had a choice, "Come on y'all."

Star felt really sophisticated in her dress, she felt pretty too. Since they all wore the same outfits' everyday in was a welcome change to see everyone looking so formal. Though it made them harder to find in a crowd. To find Raven Star would usually look for a flowing cape, and a dark hood. But looking for Raven like that wouldn't get her very far in her current situation. "Star you look…you look… wow", know if Star spoke boy she would have taken it as a compliment, in fact if she spoke better English she would have too. But actually Star didn't even know the word 'compliment' yet so never mind. She nodded grinned her bright smile at Robin. The only things brighter than Star's smile were her eyes. "Yeah you too Rae", mumbled Beastboy. Raven squelched the urge to laugh, blush, or even smile by mumbling back, "Call me Raven." "Ouch", mumbled Cyborg as quietly as he could mumble (i.e. not very quiet.) "Shut up", mumbled Beastboy.

Beastboy understood it was dangerous for Raven to show feelings, but it didn't stop him from trying. She always looked so depressed, and all he wanted to do was make her happy. So that's what he did. Kinda, sorta… Ok that's what he TRIED to do… She liked him, underneath her dark attitude, was her real attitude. She wanted to feel, she wanted to care… She did care… Didn't she? She had to! It was all there, all in her muffled giggles. But Beastboy had to wonder… How much damage would it really do for her to be able to love? For her to smile? Without consequence? Course they were still young but… Someday… Hey a guy could always dream…

Star starred excitedly out the window. But she wasn't really looking at the things outside the window. She was instead, looking for a reason to talk to Robin. She liked him, a lot, and all she could do was hope he liked her back…. "Robin why is that vehicle so long?" "That's a limo Star", Robin grinned, waiting for her to take the bait. "What is a Lime-o?" "It's an expensive car that Famous people, Stars, ride in", he sat expecting he to say 'Well I'm a Star why are we not in the lime-o.' "Oh." Robin frowned, usually he could go on for the whole car ride explained to Star what one thing or another was. But Star was unusually quiet. Probably just excited Robin decided. He thought Star always looked 'Wow' but of course he was a guy… But he didn't want to be just any superhero guy; he wanted to be Star's guy. But he was afraid it was like many other things that she didn't understand, and he'd have to explain. Sometimes he wished he didn't have to explain so much, "Well that's what you get for falling for an Alien." Robin nodded, as he noticed Star was deep in thought. "Robin, I'm a Star why are we not in the lime-o?" Robin grinned; then again maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to explain… He did love her, after all. But he didn't get a chance to answer, because the car pulled into the parking lot….

To Be Continued… (After I get back from China.)

Hope you liked it!
