HI there! This came to me while I was watching Date with Destiny. Kitten drives me crazy and I really wanted Star to be able to throw it in her face just how cool and amazing Robin really is and how she'll never get to have that ever. Anyways, disclaimer, I own nothing but my own thoughts. We're gonna go with the Titans are a bit older now, they've grown, meaning the boys are now taller than the girls. Enjoy!


It was a typical day in Titan's tower. Starfire was sitting on the couch in between Beast Boy and Cyborg who were vigorously tapping buttons on the video game controllers trying to out race the other. She smiled as her friends continued to banter back and forth with lighthearted teasing. Floating near by was Raven, who was trying to meditate but having little success due to all the noise. She zoned them out as she chanted her mantra in her head focusing on peace and quiet.

The main doors swooshed open to reveal Robin. He walked into the room looking at his friends. He smiled watching them having so much fun. He was nervous about the envelope in his hand but he was sure the Titans would be excited about it. He walked down the stairs towards the couch where the others were congregated.

He looked up at the giant screen showing two cars racing to the finish line. Just as the purple car zoomed ahead of the silver car, it promptly was run off the road by the silver car causing the purple car to explode. Cyborg jumped up, fist pumping the air as Beast Boy pouted on the couch. Starfire giggled, gently patting BB on the back in comfort. Raven huffed in the background annoyed at the sudden increase in noise level.

Robin shook his head then cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.

"Ok Titans I've got a letter here that you may want to listen to," he said sneakily. Just as he expected, Cyborg stopped fist pumping and turned around, Starfire turned in her seat as did Beast Boy to face him and Raven opened one eye looking over at him. He grinned before opening the letter to reveal a thick cardstock invitation covered in elegance.

"It would be my pleasure to invite you, the Teen Titans, to our annual Charity Ball to honor your hard work and dedication in keeping your city and the world safe from villainous entities everywhere. It will be held at City Center in Jump City on July 7th at 7 o'clock. Formal attire is required and dinner dates are encouraged. Please RSVP as our honored guests at your convenience. Thank you again for your dedication and protection of the common good. Sincerely, Richard Grayson."

Robin finished reading the invite and brought it down to waist level again. He looked at the other Titans. Their facial expressions ranged from a bright grin, cocked eyebrow, shock, and confusion. He wanted to laugh at their myriad of reactions but held it in. After all he was Robin right now and he had to act like Robin.

"Well?," Robin asked, "What do you guys think? Wanna go? Sounds like it could be fun. Plus Star you can dress up in a fancy dress if you wanted." Robin smiled at her as she blushed but smiled back.

"Why would we get invited to a Ball, that is being put on by Bruce Wayne, billionaire's adopted son?" Cyborg asked confused. "I mean I get the whole saying thanks for saving the city but that's really random. I mean doesn't he live in Gotham?"

"Dude! Who cares! We got invited to a huge Ball with lots of fanciness and girls and like proper big shots!" Beast Boy said grinning. "I'm totally in. Sounds like it could be super fun."

"Oh me too please!" Starfire added jumping up and down. "Raven and I can go shopping for the gowns of evening and dress up." She squealed with excitement, making Raven sigh.

"Alright so that's five Titans RSVP-ing for the Ball?" Robin asked looking at each of them for confirmation. Star nodded vigorously, Cyborg nodded, as did BB. They all turned to look at Raven, waiting for her answer.

Raven looked at each of them. Star's eyes were pleading with her, Cyborg and Robin both looked excited and expectant, and Beast Boy looked like he was holding his breath waiting for her answer. She sighed finally, "Fine. I'll go." She said crossing her arms which made Starfire clap her hands in excitement, Cyborg and Robin grinned and Beast Boy looked relieved. She cocked an eyebrow at him.

"Ok I'll send off our reply. We have about a week to find our outfits before the event. You girls might want to go do some dress shopping…," Robin said over his shoulder as he headed towards the door. He saw out of the corner of his eye a grinning Starfire zoom over to Raven's side and grip her arm, bouncing up and down begging for her to come along to find dresses. Raven was being flung around like a rag doll before she finally agreed to go with Star. Robin had to jump to the side to avoid a blazing bullet made up of an overly excited Starfire and a panicked looking Raven.

He laughed as the door slide shut behind the girls.

"Soooo, ya gonna ask Starfire to be your date to the Ball?" Cyborg asked with a smirk on his face. He was soon joined by Beast Boy who was grinning while they stared at the back of their leaders head.

Robin froze. His shoulders moved up as he cringed. How had he thought he would be able to avoid the suggestive teasing. He sighed, "I don't know. Maybe," He replied defensively as he turned to look at the pair of crooners. "And who do you two plan to ask?"

BB and Cy laughed at the discomfort of their friend. Before blushing furiously at Robin's question.

"Uhhhh…."

"Ummmm…."

"That's what I thought. At least I have a prospect," Robin said smirking. He then turned and walked through the doors feeling triumphant.

Cyborg looked at Beast Boy with a worried expression. "Who are we gonna ask?" he asked unsure of himself. "I mean I think I could probably ask Bumble Bee, that's if she doesn't try to zap me…"

Beast Boy looked at the ground. He knew who he wanted to ask but he doubted she would accept his offer. He cleared his throat. "Um, well I'm sure we'll find dates. There are lots of Honorary Titans all over the world now so ya know, endless options."

"Ya that's true. But who's Raven gonna go with? I think it wouldn't be fair if she showed up alone." Cyborg said thinking of the empath. Beast Boy blushed and turned so Cy wouldn't see his face.

He shrugged his shoulders before walking towards the door. "I don't know. Hopefully someone. I guess. I think I'm going to go, uh, to my room. See what I have in the way of 'fancy' clothes." Beast Boy said over his shoulder.

Cyborg snorted following the smaller green teen out the door and headed toward his own room. 'Ya right. Fancy clothing isn't in Beast Boy's vocab.' He thought to himself.


"Starfire, I really don't think-"

"Please, Raven. Just give it the try." Starfire said while handing a dark purple gown to Raven who looked at it skeptically. Raven looked up at Starfire's excited face and sighed in defeat taking the dress from Star.

Raven turned and walked into the dressing room changing from her uniform to the floor length gown. It was pretty but just not her. It was too poofy and a strange color. It didn't match her hair color so the two clashed. She quickly changed back to her uniform and walked out to find Star looking at pretty pink gown that went well with her hair color. Raven set the dark purple gown on the rack and walked over to her friend.

"Sorry, Star but it didn't really work. The colors clashed with my hair." Raven said.

Starfire turned looking at Raven disappointed. "I am sorry Raven. I truly thought I picked a nice dress, " she said feeling guilty.

Raven noticed her emotions becoming sad so she decided to change the subject. "It's fine Star. Did you find anything you like?" She asked trying to turn the attention off of herself.

Star immediately brightened at that and she pulled the pink dress off the rack and turned to show Raven. "I believe this one my work as my dress. I will go try it on," She said excitedly.

Raven watched as Star disappeared behind the dressing room door and she sat on one of the benches to wait. After a while Star finally emerged from the dressing room with a smile.

"I believe the dress is perfect. I shall get this one!." She declared.

Raven smiled, happy the shopping trip was finally over for now. She stood up and followed the happy alien over to the cash register and waited for Star to pay for the dress.

Once they were finished with the dress shopping they headed back towards Titan's tower. As they flew, Star looked over at Raven, wondering if she should ask the question on her mind.

"Raven?" Star asked timidly.

Raven looked over at her, cocking an eyebrow.

"I was wondering who you think Robin will ask to the Ball of Charity?" Star asked looking sideways at her friend waiting for an answer.

Raven smiled at the shyness of her friend. Honestly who else would Robin ask to the Ball. "Well I'd think it pretty obvious who he's going to ask. That would be you," she replied simply.

Star's eye sparkled and she blushed slightly but smiled anyways. The girls landing on the island the Tower stood on.

"Who then do you wish to attend the Ball with?" Star asked curiously.

As they approached the outer door, Raven placed her hand on the scanner to verify their identities. She was slightly surprised by Starfire's question. She really didn't think anyone would ask her and she didn't really think about the whole 'date' portion of the invite.

"Uh….no one?" She replied looking back at Star.

"Oh no! Friend you must go with someone! Perhaps Aqualad would accompany you," Star suggested making Raven blush.

She didn't reply to Star. She honestly hadn't thought this part through yet. She wasn't sure about Aqualad either. Yes he was very handsome, and nice and tall and- Well he wouldn't be repulsive to spend the evening with.

The elevator's doors dinged opened and the girls separated towards their own rooms. Raven was more confused than ever, while Star was glowing with excitement.
