-- Author's Note -- Hello TT fans! This is my first Teen Titans fic, but I think it will be well worth the read. Yey! For those of you who have been reading my For the Love of a Halfa series (Danny Phantom), don't worry, this won't affect those updates. So, those of you who are also DP fans, please go check those out! And a note on that, I will be posting a TT/DP crossover fic based on my For the Love of a Halfa series. Regreme and I are going to be packing it full of laughs and lots of pairing goodness. Before we get started, I would like to give a word of thanks again to Regreme for helping me with this fic by betaing and making sure I don't make Raven too happy, or getting any of the other Titans out of character. At the moment I'm unsure as to where this whole thing is going, but it is going to be a major pairing fic (if you couldn't tell that from the title, lol). Who knows, maybe I'll just focus on them as teenagers instead of superheroes. We'll see though. Now, please enjoy and if you like it lots, press that little button on the bottom that says 'Submit Review' and tell me why. It makes me happy! And, if you didn't like it, press the little button on the bottom that says 'Submit Review' and tell me why. It makes me sad, but it helps me to get better. So everyone review!

Chapter 1 Getting to Know You

It had been nearly a week since the battle with Malchior and Raven hadn't left her room since the game she played with Cyborg and Beast Boy. The two Titans had thought she was over it, but boys know nothing of heartache.

For about the hundredth time that day, Raven paced back and forth in front of the chest. Inside that chest was a powerful dragon that she knew could never be released. But she had to know why. Why did he lie to her? She had wondered the same thing all week long.

Raven groaned and dropped onto her bed. Stupid, stupid. "STUPID!" she shouted at herself. All these stupid emotions running through her head. She couldn't figure out what they were or where they came from.

"Raven? Are you all right? I heard you shouting," came a familiar voice with a knock on the door.

At least not that she would admit to herself.

"Yes, I'm fine Beast Boy," she said not getting up from the bed. If it wasn't him checking on her it was Starfire. One evening when she had snuck out of her room to get some herbal tea, she heard Robin telling Beast Boy and Starfire off for bothering her so much. She needed time, he told them.

Yes, but how much time? The spells seemed to be fading with the memory of the battle.

"All right, I'll leave you alone if you're sure."

A pain shot through her body at his words. Why was she ignoring them? It wasn't their fault that she had believed his lies. She only wanted someone to listen to her.

Yes, a voice inside told her, but whose to say that they can't listen?

Raven shook her head and sat up. With an unsure frown, she stood up and walked over to the door. "Um, Beast Boy?" she asked as she slid the door open slightly.

The green boy was still standing there looking worried. He seemed startled by her sudden appearance.

"Hey Raven, looking as pretty as ever," he said with a slight laugh.

"Liar."

He sweat dropped with a rejected look on his face. "Beast Boy?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you wanna come in?"

Beast Boy did a double take. "Wha-whoa-um-uh. Dude, could you repeat that?"

"Did. You. Want. To. Come. In," she repeated slowly. "I could really use someone to talk to." A slight blush crossed her face.

Wait, why was she getting embarrassed? This was Beast Boy she was talking about. The gross, green guy who threw dirty balls of socks around as a game, and ate tofu dogs like they were the gods' gift to man.

"Sure, I mean if you wanna."

"All right, Robin's playing Cy anyway. And Star will never look for me in here," he laughed as he followed her in. The door shut behind him.

"What is Starfire doing?" Raven asked as she lit a few more candles to brighten the room.

"She just found out about nail polish and is looking for a victim."

Raven wondered for a moment why the alien girl hadn't come knocking on her door, like she so often did when she found something new and girly. She supposed it had to do with Robin telling her to leave her alone.

Beast Boy was looking around her room, though very careful with what he touched. "What's this?" he asked pointing at a small box like object.

"My stereo. You can touch it if you like. It doesn't bite," she said with a slight grin. Raven quickly covered her mouth when she realized what she had done.

The green boy didn't seem to notice as he looked over the buttons. He pushed one and the soft sound of a Japanese flute filled the room. The music calmed Raven at once, but seemed to confuse Beast Boy all the more.

"Whoa. What is this? Is this music?"

"Yes, it's music. Not everything has to be loud and have rude words to it," she said commenting on his choice of noise.

"It's peaceful. What is it?"

"A Japanese flute. They're normally played at tea ceremonies."

"You must read stuff other than old magic texts I take it," he said taking a seat on a sort of beanbag chair that was on the floor.

"I read a little bit of everything."

"That's a lot to read."

Raven shrugged, "It keeps me busy."

The two teens talked quietly about old battles and their friends. Raven even talked a bit about her mother, which came as a shock to Beast Boy. During their talk he couldn't help but notice a large pink candle sitting next to her bed. This was the only one unlit, as well as not being black or a deep purple or blue.

"Starfire! I told you after I beat Cyborg!"

"But Robin you have lost to him five times already!"

"You're not gonna beat me Rob!" Cyborg laughed loudly.

Both Raven and Beast Boy were sent back into the real world. Their roommates began shouting loudly at each other in a manner that was fairly common.

Raven sighed and stood up. "Let's go. We should probably stop them before they destroy something."

Beast Boy nodded and trotted after the girl in the flowing cloak.

In the living room the two found the other three in a pile on the floor tangled up in the game controller cords. They were still yelling at each other. It seemed Starfire wished to paint Robin's nails, but he was making up excuses, which in turn reminded Cyborg of how badly Robin was losing to him, so he felt the need to gloat about it.

In frustration, Raven broke a vase with her magic. Beast Boy and the others jumped and stared at the girl. "I think that's enough."

"But Robin promised—"

"Star, come on. You can paint my nails, so long as it's black."

The three boys all sweat dropped as Starfire happily bounced after Raven down the hall to their rooms.

"Whoa, what just happened?" Beast Boy asked.

"Dude, she just saved your ass," Cyborg told Robin.

They stared after the girls for a few moments after they had vanished in shock. "Hey, Cy, let's play. I bet you can't beat me!" the changeling taunted.

"Oh yeah? Bring it on!" the half human boy said jumping onto the couch and flicking on the game.
