CHAPTER 1

The party was worse than Raven could have ever imagined. Joy filled party guests kissing under the mistletoe, dancing like idiots and laughing at beast boy grade jokes. Raven sighed to herself as her team-mates joined in, Cyborg gorging on the buffet that took hours to set up, spilling drinks and messing up the display. Robin and Starfire searching far and wide for mistletoe not already engaged and Beast boy was, well being Beast boy. He joined in on the jokes, howling with laughter and sharing some from his own personal collection. Raven sighed again, there third Christmas together, her friends had all reached 19 now but sometimes she questioned whether they'd aged at all.

She leaned back in her seat and fiddled with the dress Starfire had forced her to wear. Raven grimaced as she remembered the day Starfire had first shown it to her, She looked at it now and shuddered It was a cream puff dress, peachy-pink with many purple ruffles, honestly, could it be worse? Naturally Raven refused to wear it but looking into Starfire's eyes she knew she was defeated.

Raven ceased reminiscing as the rest was all too clear. It was no surprise that people were staring, she looked ridiculous. The rest of team weren't as bad, Starfire's dress was similar to Raven's but it was much more flattering, less puffy with very few ruffles. Raven frown grew and she felt anger slowly building so she turned her attention to Robin, he was wearing a black blazer and trousers combo with a low neck white t-shirt which looked great on him. Raven's eyes drifted to Cyborg who made her feel slightly less ridiculous. He was wearing a big blue suit that had been specially tailored to fit over his mechanical body but Raven couldn't help but smile as she watched the half robot stain his special suit with various dressings and drippings. Raven's smile faded as she turned her head to glance wearily at beast boy. It annoyed her that he hadn't made the effort, merely slapping a white t-shirt on and keeping his bottom half the same.

She was getting more annoyed, people were laughing now. She sat upright and shot them all a glare, lifting her hand and flowing her aura, satisfied by there fear . She leaned back in her chair as she listened to them scurrying out the door,and her smile returned."Maybe this party isn't as bad as I thought" she thought, smiling wickedly.

Suddenly the music stopped only to return in a much slower fashion. Dancers quickly paired themselves up and Robin and Starfire drifted towards them. Singles slumped off the dance floor, knowing they were no longer needed and they took there place on the sidelines. It was of course another slow dance.

Raven sunk further into her chair, face nearly hidden by a sea of purple ruffles. How she despised slow dancing. The way the couples cosy up to each over to make every single person in the room feel utterly worthless. She sighed wearily for the third time that evening as she stood up to get a drink, smoothing out her dress as she went. As she walked towards the bar she watched the Christmas singles get desperate, suddenly clambering towards strangers and begging them to dance. "Pathetic" Raven whispered, rolling her eyes as she approached the bartender, who immediately stared at her dress. Raven stared at the bar, which was actually there kitchen counter and sat in one of the fold out stools, her ruffles living up to there name as she sat, making a sound which she could have done without.

"Nice dress you got" The Bartender said as Raven looked up at him, his mouth curling at the edges.

"Just get me some water" Raven muttered, she was not in the mood for jokes. The bartender handing her a bottle of mineral water, Raven clutched it in her hand and yanked at the lid, twisting it as hard as she could. She groaned in defeat as the bottle remained firmly closed.

"Need some help with that?" Asked a warm, familiar voice from behind her

Raven watched as a large mechanical arm reached out and grasped the bottle, pulling the lid off effortlessly and handed the bottle back to her.

"Thanks" Raven said sincerely as she took a sip.

"Any time" said Cyborg as he sat down next to her, the stool groaned under his weight. "So couldn't find someone to dance with ya, huh?" His voice understanding.

Raven was irritated by this as she Cyborg would have known better, she retaliated immediately with her trademark glare.

"I didn't ask anyone...and no one asked me" She mumbled, hiding her face in her cream puff gown.

Raven closed her eyes as hung on her own words, and deep inside she felt the tiniest sting of rejection. She was aware people were staring at her but she shut them out. Sometimes she wondered what it would be like to have someone to dance with, what would it feel like to know there was someone there? Would she ever know what that felt like? She burrowed deeper into her dress , she just wanted to disappear. She felt a finger jab itself into her back and her vision eyes opened, she moaned slightly as she lifted her head. Cyborg looked down at her like a caring parent, Raven then realised her actions had been a bit odd. She tried very hard to suppress her emotions but sometimes she slipped up, it was only natural.

"You all right?" He asked with genuine concern.

"I'm fine" Raven said, her gentle smile responded to with a massive grin.

She was glad to have someone there for her...

"HEY SPARKY!" Shouted Bumblebee, running across the room towards the bar.

"Don't call me Sparky" Cyborg grunted, folding him arms "You know I don't like it"

"Oh don't get all huffy with me, I came over to ask you to dance"

Cyborg's face filled with shock, his human cheek beetroot red.

"D-Dance? W-with me?" Cyborg stood in a rush, only to slip and fall over, the whole room shook as he hit the ground.

Bee rolled her eyes as she helped Cyborg up, Raven watched as the strain appeared on her face. She was obviously struggling.

"Man your heavy" She complained as Cyborg's feet met the ground, Cyborg opened his mouth but didn't say anything as she was already dragging him towards the dance floor.

Raven was on her own again.

Raven took another sip of water, she was the only one left. The music droned on, slow and steady but the singles had paired up, she scanned the sidelines again and again but found nothing. Raven closed her eyes again, she tried to pretend she was somewhere else but the image wouldn't form, she gave up in frustration.

She finished her water and left the room in defeat.
