DISCLAIMER: IF I OWNED TEEN TITANS I WOULD BE CURRENTLY DRAFTING SEASON NINE AND SOBBING OVER ALL THE BBRAE FEELS THAT I PUT IN THE SHOW.

AT THE TOWER

"Ugh, why did it have to be me?" I thought to myself for the third time even though Robin already gave me an answer.

"Raven, you know Starfire's English isn't good enough to blend in, and people would find it weird if two guys were meeting up in the closet every day. We are trying to draw as little attention to ourselves as possible, and you and Beast Boy are the best for the job."

"'Starfire's English isn't good enough.' Sure, boy wonder, we all know you just don't want anyone to think Beast boy is dating your girlfriend. I didn't even want to go on this stupid undercover mission in the first place. Beast Boy and I have been getting along better lately, but we still fight more than anyone on the team. Kitten isn't even a credible threat, and now I have to go undercover at her school to keep an eye on her and Fang. Well, school starts for me tomorrow, and Beast Boy on Thursday, I'd better prepare." I thought, still peeved at Robin and our whole situation.

I headed downstairs to get my holo-rings calibrated by Cyborg, stood in a few basic positions, arms out, legs apart, arms crossed and I was done. I turned to look in the mirror and felt like letting out a horrified shriek, but I just stood in stunned silence. I was... I was…. blonde. Not only that, but tan and in a pink tank top and white micro shorts. I spun around to Cyborg and very calmly demanded that he change it. His response was "No can do Rae, you can't look anything like yourself."

I was stunned. I would have to look and act like…. Like... A human Starfire until we could be sure Kitten was harmless. I would have to fake giddiness and giggling and smiles, and pretend not to be annoyed when people tried to talk to me and ... And I can't do it. I can't. I need to meditate before I blow out the towers security system. I just need to head to my room. All my thoughts came rushing at once and I knew that if I wasn't in my room soon, I would destroy something.

I arrived in my room and thrust myself on my bed. Azarath Metrion Zinthos Azarath Metrion Zinthos. After about a half an hour I was calm again, I had gathered my thoughts and I realized I can't do this, being around all of those annoying, hormone crazed high schoolers, picking up on all of their emotions all of that coming at once would mean I would have to meditate every five minutes, I needed to tell Robin I can't do this.

I phased through the floor and into Robin's work room. He was pretending to type while really ogling Starfire, Starfire being oblivious as usual. Saying that they were surprised to see me would be an understatement. I don't understand why they haven't gotten used to me phasing in and out of rooms yet, but when I arrived I could feel both of their minds radiating shock. The spike was so strong I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach.

"Please boyfriend Robin," Starfire started "who is the yellow haired human female?" "Yellow haired human female….. Starfire isn't normally this clueless…What is she talking about?" I thought confused. Robin chuckled and gestured to me, " Star, this is Raven…. Remember the mission I told you she was going on? This is her disguise." Starfire emitted a strong mix of confusion and excitement. "Friend Raven, you are the blonde haired female?" she said in a squeal. "No…. I'm not the blonde….." I started before I realized "crap, I never took off my rings. I'm still a Barbie." I slid off my rings. "It's me Starfire."

The rush of excitement she radiated made me have to sit down before I fainted. This was going to be a long mission...

After Starfire finally calmed down, and I got less light headed, I phased upstairs and I didn't realize that until I was getting fitted for communication devices that I had forgotten to tell Robin I couldn't go through with it.

"Well it's too late to back out now I guess" I told myself in my head. After the long and unnecessary explanation of how everything worked that I honestly paid little attention to after the first five minutes, I headed to Beast Boy's room and knocked softly not really sure what to discuss that we hadn't heard a hundred times from Robin, but still feeling like we needed to talk.

He answered the door fairly quickly and it was apparent that he wasn't expecting me. He still smiled his trademark smile and invited me in. I took one sniff of the month old laundry and I told him we could meet in the main room.

We headed downstairs together and I desperately searched for something to say "Why did I even want to talk to him? There's nothing to say! You look so stupid, say something!" He looked at me expectantly while I mentally harassed myself.

"Uh…. Did you get your disguise yet?" "Azar, that was a stupid question, why would I ask that?" It was still really hard to make conversation with Beast Boy unless something was pressing me and that was normally a stupid prank he had played on me, or an obnoxious noise he was making. He chuckled. "Yeah, I asked Cy for more muscles, but he wouldn't budge" He said with his goofy smile that revealed his fang. "Wanna see?" He asked me excitedly. I decided to humor him and allow him to show me. He touched his rings together and the goofy green changeling was no longer before me. There was a tall and muscular boy with pink hair, cutoff sleeves, tattoos, and motorcycle boots. This was not Beast Boy. My analysis was interrupted by a cocky "Pretty cool huh Rae?" "Yes, the pink hair makes you look oh so manly" I said as dryly as possible. "Only real men wear pink Rae." He retorted. "Raven. Ra-VEN." I corrected.

I decided that there was nothing else to talk about and our conversation was over, I phased into my room and studied my alias more. "Brittany Matthews, dancer, gymnast, SINGER?! Robin must be having a REALLY good laugh right now. I lived in Oklahoma, and I'm NOT a natural blonde, I have a C average, I followed my boyfriend Dean to Jump to help his rock career…. WAIT BOYFRIEND?! I have to pretend to be Beast Boy's GIRLFRIEND?! AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS AZAR WHY?I am going to kill Robin!"

I immediately phased into Robin's work room where Starfire was telling him a Tamaranian joke that he clearly didn't understand. Apparently it takes fimbar okarins to hoagie a morflark. As soon as I arrived I slammed my file on Robin's desk. "GIRLFRIEND?!" I demanded. "YOU WANT ME TO PRETENDTO BE BEAST BOY'S GIRLFRIEND?!" At this point if I got any angrier I would unintentionally destroy the whole room. I took a few deep breaths and waited for Robin to change it or at least give me a logical explanation. Robin cleared his throat and said "Raven, if you and Beast Boy were just friends meeting up in the closet, people would suspect something. People would try to instigate a relationship. If you're already dating, then you're just two hormonal teenagers." "Okay, but why do I look like I belong on an episode of the 90210?" I demanded. "You have to be a person Kitten would associate with. She likes bad boys, and stupid girls that look like her. Now please go get ready for your mission." I angrily phased out and made a note to haunt Robin's nightmares later.

I called Beast Boy into my room, when he arrived I didn't even take the time to open my mouth, and most of my words came out in grunts. "Did. You. Know." Was all I could spit out before I lost it. He seemed confused. "Know what Rae?" "Did you know that starting tomorrow I am your girlfriend?" Beast Boy was silent for once in his life. He definitely didn't know. "Beast Boy, you and I will have to act like girlfriend and boyfriend, which means doing girlfriend and boyfriend things." "Girlfriend and boyfriend things? Could I make this anymore awkward?" He uncomfortably swallowed. "So um, what exactly does that mean Rae? Like hand holding, dates, and…. Stuff?" I realized that he was trying to imply that we would need to show each other affection. Right then, I decided to lay down some rules. "Minimal contact, hand holding is acceptable, occasional hugs, you will not give me any pets names other than babe, I will Not be participating in any baby talk, or feeding you, and most importantly NO KISSING. Any questions?" Before he had a chance to answer I ended our conversation with "Good. Now get out."

Outside her room, Beast Boy stood in wide eyed shock. "Raven is gonna be my girlfriend?" he repeated to himself all the way to his room.
