A/N: Ello Ello Ello what's going on 'ere then? Well it's a new story of course! And before you say anything I know the title's kinda crappy but oh well, I was at a creative loss! Anyway, read, enjoy and possibly review! (PLEASE)

Full Summary: Trigon's gone and everything's back to normal. Raven's still her grumpy, loner, mood self . . . or is she? People aren't always the same when they're alone. Surrounded by people, Raven is quiet, subdued and mood but when everyone's gone, how is she? Read on and find out. Eventually Robin/Raven, also some hints at Jinx/Cy (cos they're so darn cute). Also there may be some Star and Terra bashing. I hate Terra for what she did to the team and BB but I don't hate star, she's just fun to be mean to . . . don't hate me!

On another note, I will try and update regularly but I'm not good at sticking to a schedule cos I'm just too damn lazy/forgetful heh so, yeah that's it. Oh and also. . .

I OWN NOTHING. NONE OF THIS IS MINE AND IT NEVER WILL BE sob! Though if I had my own way, I'd own Robin and BB . . .

SHADES OF BLUE

Chapter one: Alone At Last

It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining, birds were chirping and it was quite warm out, though not stiflingly hot, which was unusual for a day in autumn. Normally rain lashed against the windows as the winds howled around the city, chilling every person to the core, reminding them that winter was on its way. So it was no wonder really that every person in Jump City was out enjoying the warmth, each person realising that this might be the last day of good weather for a while.

"Friends, please may we journey out into the city? It is so beautiful outside." Asked Starfire who was floating beside on of the large windows, gazing out across the water at the pier and city it was attached to.

"Is it?" asked Beast Boy, looking up from the game he was playing, which he had been playing since he had woken up "Oh, it is." He continued, squinting as he looked out the window "I was sure it was cloudy when I woke up."

"It was, Beast Boy." said Robin from where he sat at the computer, no doubt looking at some file on some new villain.

"Oh." Replied Beast Boy, he saved his game and turned off the game station "So where are we going then?"

"Excuse me?" asked Robin, actually looking away from the monitor to glance at Beast Boy.

"You heard Star, let's go out." Said Beast Boy "Oh I know, we could go to the park, or the pier, or out for a pizza."

"Or to the mall of shopping!" input Starfire, spinning gleefully in the air.

"Er . . . or not." Said Beast Boy, not keen on the idea of following Starfire into shop after shop looking at odd items of clothing in shockingly bright colours.

"Well, I guess we could go out, there doesn't seem to be any major bad guy activity going on today." Said Robin, stepping away from his computer and stretching "And I guess it could be fun to get out of the tower, what do you think Raven, wanna come with us?"

"No." she replied curtly, not looking up from her book.

"Why not?" asked Beast Boy, his voice high pitched and whiney "I'm sure you'll have fun."

"Where?" asked Cyborg, walking through the doors and into the recreational room.

"We're going out." Replied Beast Boy, standing up and puffing out his chest.

Cyborg stopped dead in his tracks "You and Raven?" he asked, eyes wide in shock.

"Oh hell no." Raven replied, looking murderously up from her book "The day I date this idiot is the day penguins take over the world."

"All things considered Raven," Robin said thoughtfully from where he stood "Penguins could actually take over the world, I mean, every other creature, Earth bound or otherwise has tried to, so why not penguins?"

"I find it slightly odd that you of all people consider the idea of penguins taking over the world plausible Boy Blunder." Raven replied, raising an eyebrow at his suggestion. A small blush crept across Robin's cheeks before he could subdue it at the playful nickname Raven used from him and the discussion about penguins was lost from his mind.

"So friends, where are we venturing to?" Asked Starfire, excited by the prospect of being outside and having fun with her friends.

"Erm . . ." said Beast Boy with the most absurd look across his face, it was obvious he was trying to think.

"Why don't we go to the park and just, you know, hang out." Said Cyborg, realising that it would be a while before Beast Boy thought up any ideas.

"Sounds like a good idea." Said Robin "We could go for pizza before, I'm quite hungry."

"Come on then." Said Cyborg, heading out of the room toward the garage with both Beast Boy and Starfire hot on his heels. Robin turned to follow them but realised that Raven had not set her book down, nor had she made a move to rise out of her seat.

"Aren't you coming?" he asked as he approached the couch.

Raven looked up briefly and muttered "No." before glancing back down at her book.

"Why not?" he asked persistently, ignoring the dark look she gave him.

"Because I refuse to sit on the hard ground and watch you moon over Starfire who will be joining in with whatever useless game Beast Boy and Cyborg create." She replied, a vein in her temple beginning to throb rhythmically "I am much happier sitting here on the cushioned couch reading my book in silence."

"Are you sure Rae, Cos we're going out to eat before, won't you get hungry?" Robin said diplomatically "And besides, I'm sure me and you could hang out if you don't want to join in with Cyborg and the other two."

"Robin, seriously, all I want to do is sit here and read my book." Raven said, trying to not scream at the only team member she felt close to.

"Well I could stay-" Robin began.

"No. Go have fun Boy Blunder, I'll see you when you get back." She cut in, her voice firm, showing him he would not win this argument.

"Well, if you're sure." He continued; his voice full of concern. He smiled at her and she smiled back briefly before turning back to her book. She listened as he walked out of the room and the doors slid shut behind him.

She strained to hear what was going on down in the garage, eager for the other titans to leave so she could have her peace. After a few moments she heard two engines revving and suddenly the sound disappeared, she knew both the T-car and Robin's R-cycle had sped out of the garage onto the underground road which joined the small island to the rest of Jump City.

Raven let out a sigh of relief and set her book down. She stretched luxuriously on the couch, reaching high above her head and enjoying the sound of her bones clicking as she moved. She then kicked off her boots, undid the clasp on her cape and let it fall off her shoulders before standing up and heading out of the room in search of something to do.

A/N: Hello all my friends, readers and fellow authors and thank you for taking the time to read this story. I figured it fits into the time line after Trigon is defeated but before the threat of the Brotherhood of Evil. I haven't actually seen season five yet (damn TV stations denying those of us who live on teeny islands of our Teen Titans fix) so there will be nothing about what happens in season five in this story. So anyway, review please and let me know what you think. . . whether it is crappy or not. You can flame if you want as well, I don't mind, but in between the insulting please say why you don't like it not just 'this sucks' ok. Thanks a bunch!
