Hi, this is my first story… ^^ Yeah…

Chapter One- Love Is Only On Days that end with "Y"
"What? Why… Why can't you and Star go together?" Beast Boy complained. Raven rolled her eyes at his complaints. What a baby.
"Because these are people who are dating that are going missing," Robin explained, tenderly wrapping his arm around Starfire's waist. "I don't want to risk anything. Besides, we'd get distracted. You and Raven can actually be productive when not arguing."
"Right," Raven moaned. Beast Boy shot her a look.
"I mean, c'mon! The beach? Who even says she'll wear a freaking bathing suit?" Beast boy shouted, extending his hand toward Raven. "You can't be serious!" he vented at Robin.
"You two are going, and that's an order," Robin's expression grew stern. "Get ready." Raven started to walk toward her room. Beast Boy stood still, standing his ground as if Robin were threatening his territory.
"NOW!" Robin screamed at Beast Boy, pointing his finger toward the room. Beast Boy muttered something under his breath, and slugged over to his room as if Raven's witchcraft were sending him to his room. Maybe he was under Raven's influence.
Raven was ready before Beast Boy even got to his room. She wore a beach dress (black, of course, Beast Boy thought), and a cropped dress shirt over what seemed to be a bikini which seemed to be blue. Raven intensely glared at him as Beast Boy was eyeing her.
"My face is up here, Beast Boy," Raven snapped, pointing to her eyes.
"Who said I was enjoying you?" Beast Boy muttered, he slammed the door to his room. Raven rolled her eyes.
"Good thing he's not in Hollywood," Cyborg joked. Robin laughed, lightening the mood of the room. Raven nodded.
Beast Boy came out, wearing purple trunks, and a printed flower Hawaiian top with a hat.
"Don't you look snazzy?" Raven sarcastically remarked. Beast Boy scoffed at her.
"Let's just get it over with," Beast Boy angrily retorted. "C'mon," Beast Boy held out his hand.
Raven stared at him.
"Well? If we have"- as he said this, he looked at Robin- "to pretend to be a couple, we might as well act like one," Beast Boy groaned.
"Not all couples hold hands, Beast Boy. Some show affection towards each other by being tender towards one another," Raven explained, thinking of how many movies don't portray this type of action. The action of just caring for each other, not any type of touching or anything. Love could just be a gentle smile that shows someone that you're there for them, and always will be.
"I don't care, just hold it."
"Beast Boy's right, Raven. The culprit is making couples disappear. You two should try to pretend to be a couple," Robin acknowledged, nodding his head at Beast Boy in agreement with his action.
Raven grabbed Beast Boy's hand, acting like it was the grossest thing on planet Earth. Beast Boy glared at her, and she glared back.
"Fine," Raven groaned. "As long as I don't have to kiss him."
Robin and Cyborg laughed.
"That might not be a bad idea," Cyborg joked.
"Cut it, Cy," Beast Boy snapped. "Let's go Rae."
Beast Boy pulled on Raven's arm, causing Raven to moan a little.
"Try to be a little gentle. I'm your girlfriend for the day," Raven explained. Beast Boy chuckled as they went into the elevator.
"You're no girlfriend," Beast Boy said, tilting his head slightly, cracking his neck. Raven's hand was causing his to sweat. He wanted to let go.
"You don't know that," Raven hissed.
"I do," Beast Boy noted. "When was the last time you actually kissed someone?"
Raven didn't reply.
"Yeah, thought so."
"That doesn't matter, just because I can't feel on the outside doesn't mean I can't feel on the inside," Raven angrily came back at. "We're doomed."
Beast Boy led Raven out of the tower. "I can't believe I got stuck with you."
"Yeah, same to you," Raven mumbled. Her hand lost feeling in Beast Boy's. What was his problem? The jerk. "Just, try to act like you like me."
"I like you, you're just not the type who likes back," Beast Boy retorted, spinning around pointing his green index finger in Raven's face. Raven pushed it out.
"That's not true!" Raven shouted. Her eyes seemed to glow red, and Beast Boy knew he had to back off.
"Let's just get this over with, that way, we can go back to being normal," Beast Boy muttered.
"Yeah, I love you too, honey," Raven sarcastically remarked as they stepped out of the tower. Beast Boy looked at her strangely, raising a bushy green eyebrow. Raven rolled her eyes, and grabbed her arm timidly. "Just… try act like a normal human being, you know, the type that don't have to fight crime every day, despite the fact that you are green," Raven quickly added her last statement by the look on Beast Boy's face as if he were telling her that there was no way that could ever happen.
"You should try to be a little normal yourself," Beast Boy growled at her. "At least I happen to know how to have a good time."
"Don't go there with me, you mediocre comedian," she retorted. Beast Boy didn't look back at her, he did not want to lose his temper, not with her. Beast Boy continued to drag Raven behind him, he looked over at the beach, and noticed how full it was. They would really have to keep their eyes open. Raven pulled her teammate under her arm, and they teleported over to the beach.
"Here we are," Beast Boy muttered, and plopped down on the sand. He wriggled his toes in it, and smiled when he finally had buried both of his feet. Raven then, sat down on the area where Beast Boy's feet where buried, and started to fan herself.
"OW!" Beast Boy shouted, pulling his feet out from under her. "Watch where you sit!" he snapped.
"Stop acting like a kid!" she shouted back at him. "You're always acted like a two year old!"
Beast Boy snarled at her, he was sick of her already, it hadn't even been two minutes yet. "You're ruining the mission, honey bunch," Beast Boy mocked her with his newly created pet name. Raven spun around, and grimaced at him menacingly.
"You'll stop that, now," she explained. Beast Boy rolled his eyes, and spotted a shell on the sand by him.
"Oo, look, it's a shell!" Beast Boy observed, childishly. His green fingers lifted it into the air, as if it were some token deserving idol worship. "Dude, this is an epic looking shell."
"Perfect," Raven hugged her legs, and looked at the teal sea, the mixture of the blues and greens of the ocean looked so perfect when they were churning with spirit under the sun's glow. The wind started to blow, but it felt hot on the skin that was revealed. Beast Boy peeled off his shirt and hat, and started to walk towards the ocean.
"Hey!" she shouted at him. "You gotta' get back here!"
"Why?" he shouted back, "You have no rights over me!"
Little children stared up at the green teen in awe. Some boys even giggled and pretended to make animal sounds knowing the changeling was a Titan.
"Because I'm your freaking date!" she shouted back, she chose her word choice carefully, revealing anything was a 'mission' could endanger them and the mission itself.
Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "Why don't you come in here? The water's fine!" He dabbed his toe in the water, and pointed to his foot for Raven to observe.
"Fine…" she muttered. "I won't go in anything further that covers my knees!" she shouted back to him. She started to take off the cover up that covered most of her suit. As soon as it was off, she kept the dress shirt on, but tied it at a knot above her belly button. Beast Boy chuckled at Raven. She was showing off.
Men stared as the grey teenager walked to her teammate, her 'boyfriend of the day'. Beast Boy clasp his hand in hers quickly, and they shared a look of regret to each other. He swung her arm, until she let go of his hand.
"Don't do that," she muttered. "I don't like it."
"You don't like anything," he muttered back. Raven looked at him with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, but she directed the look for fury. Beast Boy knew that he had hurt her feelings, and felt a slight hint of regret for what he had said. "Sorry…" he muttered.
"Not your fault," she whispered back. The water waded to her knees, and she stopped. "I don't want to go any further." Beast Boy sank the rest of his body into the water.
"Why?" he questioned, smiling at her, pulling at her hand like a little kid.
"Because we're here on a mission, not to be lovers." The last word lingered on Raven's tongue, and she wanted to sweep it off with a napkin. She pulled her hand away from his, and crossed them around her chest, hunched back, and timid.
"Who said we were lovers?" Beast Boy looked back to shore to notice people staring at the two teens, he ducked his head under the water quickly, and sprung back up. He shook his hair to one side of his head, spraying Raven with a little bit of the water off of his head.
"No one, but we're overdoing it, we need to get back to shore, keep an eye out," Raven's head tilted back to shore.
"Not until you get fully wet," Beast Boy grinned. Raven's eyes widened, knowing that this would be a prank.
"No," Raven replied. "I refuse too, and if you don't respect my choice, then fine, I'll go back alone, and you can stay here." As she started to trod back to the shore, she felt someone grab her legs.
"Beast Boy! I said I wasn't-!" before Raven can even finish her sentence she is under the water. The mixtures of the blues and the sun peeling through the ocean waves above her linger before her eyes, and she notices that the green boy is not grabbing her legs, but being pulled away from her into the ocean. She reaches to him to help, but realizes that she is restrained. Something is injected into the back of her arm, and she falls asleep.
