Three Years Later

Chapter 1: Date Night

It had been a few years since the Titans were known as "The Teen Titans", seeing as how they were all at the tender age of 18. They were not longer little teenagers. The were young adults now. The Titans still went to fight crime, because after all, thats what they loved to do. They all loved living together in the tower. They loved defeating evil. They loved being friends, their friendship was somthing that could never be broken.

As they all matured, they started to get serious with their relationships with one another. Robin and Starfire were obviosly more than friends, and Raven and BeastBoy started going out... As did Cyborg and BumbleBee.

On a Friday night, it was date night. They all agreed that every second Friday night would be a date night, after all, they did have a job to do. Robin took Starfire to a fair, he remembered that she loved cotton candy, and fairswheels. Cyborg took BumbleBee out to a night club somewhere downtown. BeastBoy took Raven to the beach, to watch the stars and listen to the ocean that they both loved to listen to and watch.

"Okay, so were all agreed? We will each be back by 12.30?" Confirming Robin

"Agreed" Said everyone

"Good. Okay, we will see you guys later, have a good night!" Said Robin, taking Starfire by the waist and heading out the tower door

"Well, me and Bee are gonna hit the night club now, see ya guys!" Said Cyborg, doing the same with BumbleBee

"And then there was 2" Joked Raven

"Yeah, wanna go now?" BeastBoy asked, laughing

"Sure"

As Raven and BeastBoy headed out the front door, they walked down near the edge of the island. They both sat down on a spot that they claimed as their own and relaxed. BeastBoy knew this was a good place to go, seeing as how Raven hated Clubs and fairs and other loud places, packed full of people. He himself didn't mind it, but sometimes it did overwhelm him, just a bit. But now he seen why Raven loved the quiet. He never fully understood that when he was younger, but now he did. He thought that she was beautiful when she was meditating, or just simply when he was looking at her on the roof of the tower when she needed peace and quiet.

"So... You having a good time?" He asked, nervously

"Of course I am, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't, right?"

"Right" He said, smiling

"And anyways, I love this place, I love listaning to the ocean and watching the sunset"

"Me too..." He said smiling "... I can even hear what some of the fish are thinking..."

"Really?"

"Yeah, some of them are really funny" he said laughing

"Whats the funniest you've heard?" Raven asked, smiling

"Well... There was this one fish that kept on thinking 'Food Food Food' over and over again... It was pretty funny"

Raven laughed and then looked to the sun that was now on the horison of the water, setting. The sky was a mixture of orange, pink, purple and a golden yellow. BeastBoy couldnt help but stare at her beautiful pale face that was giving a nice glow due to all the colours in the sky. Raven noticed this and smiled once more.

"What?" She asked, looking at him with a small smile

"Nothing... It's just that your so pretty when the sun is setting, you kind of glow..." he said, his green face tinting red

"Really? You think I'm pretty?" she asked, her face slightly shocked

"The most beautiful girl in the world" he said, his face tiniting more red with an embarrased smile on his face

Raven looked away, her face blushing. She then rested her head on his shoulder and continued to watch the sunset before closing her eyes breifly and feeling the warm heat from the setting sun on her face.

"Raven?" Asked BeastBoy

"Yeah?" She replied, looking up at him

"I love you"

Hearing those 3 words make her so happy. Someone actually loved her. She never thought she would see the day... She perked her head up off his shoulder.

"I love you too" She smiled

BeastBoy smiled back and put a hand to her face and kissed her lightly on her lips.

"BeastBoy... I think that we should take our relationship to the next level. I think I'm ready now..."

"Are you sure? What about your powers?" He asked, a slight smile on his face and resting a gloved hand on her thigh

"I think I can handle it" SHe said, smiling back

"Okay, if you're sure" he said, smiling more

The couple smiled to eachother and stayed at the beach a little while longer. It was only 7:00pm. The others were not going to be back for 6 and a half hours! They had plenty of time to enjoy their simple date and then go back to the tower early for some extra 'Fun'. BeastBoy was static that he could take his relationship with Raven further now that she said that she was okay with it. He had been waiting to hear that for about a month now, as raven feared that she would hurt him or blow up the whole tower. They both thought that nothing could ever ruin this night. Not one thing.
