What She Has to Do
A/N: The titles sucks, I know. This is just a story I wanted to write to take a break from the other story that I've got. I'm not expecting it to be about two or three short chapters (when I saw short I mean like only three maybe four pages worth of story in Microsoft Word)
Dear Raven,
My main reason for writing you this letter it to tell you that you will need to come back to Azarath for our wedding. Now before you panic and become distraught you must know that I have met the specifications your mother left in her will. I am hoping that you will come to our wedding on our own will instead of forcing me to send the government to retrieve you. The ceremony is to be held on the fifteenth of January. Bring your friends if you would like.
King Hadrian
'Oh no, I know this would happen eventually, but not this soon!' Raven thought to herself starting to panic. 'I've got to go talk with Robin.'
So the gothic girl left her room and walked down the hall to the elevators and took it up three floors then walked off, turned right, then knocked on her boyfriend's door.
"Hold on a minute," Robin said from inside his room.
"Robin, it's me," Raven replied.
"Oh, ok, come in," He replied, "What's up?"
"Here, read this," Raven answered handing him the letter.
He read it and then just stared at Raven with a look of pity and a little bit of disbelief.
"Are, are you mad at me?" Raven asked.
"No, no, of course not! How could I be mad at you, none of this was you fault." Robin replied. "I just don't understand why this guy's got to send the government after you if you aren't there for the wedding."
"Well you see, on Azarath all girls are eventually claimed by a guy and then they must marry them. Most of the time the parents try to find a guy who will take care of their daughter, but since my mom died and my dad's been banished, the government had to choose my husband according to my social status." Raven replied.
"But this guy's a king; I thought your mother was just taken in by your planet, not royalty." Robin said.
"No, that's just what I've told everybody so that the government here wouldn't record my royal history, making it hard for the people on Azarath to find me, but apparently I didn't do a good enough job." Raven replied.
"Oh, so, what will happen after you get married?" Robin asked,
"Well, the night of our wedding we'll leave for our honey moon and then a couple weeks later we'll have our first child." Raven replied.
"What do you mean, are Azarathian pregnancies shorter then human ones?" Robin asked.
"Much, but they're painful." Raven answered.
"Oh, more or less then getting thrown into a building?" he asked.
"Less I hope, but I guess I won't know until I get married." Raven replied.
"Will we ever be able to even talk to each other again after you get married?" Robin asked.
"No, I'm allowed no contact with males except for my husband and all the males he lets me talk to." Raven answered, starting to cry because it would mean she and Robin would probably never see each other again.
"Raven, let's just run away now, we'll move to a different city, a different planet. Your government will never find you, and then we could be together forever." Robin replied.
"It doesn't work that way Robin, they've found me, I have to go back and get married." Raven replied.
"What if you and I were to get married now, they couldn't marry you off to another man then could they?" Robin asked.
"Yes, and they will." Raven replied.
"I see," Robin said glumly.
"I don't think I want Starfire, Beast Boy, and Cyborg to know. But will you come with me though?" Raven asked.
"Of course, I would never leave you alone in a situation like this." Robin answered.
"Ok, thanks for always being there Robin. I'm sorry we'll never be able to get married." Raven told her boyfriend.
"So am I Raven, so am I." Robin replied.
Three Days Later
"So why do you have to take Raven back to Azarath?" Beast Boy asked.
"Because I've completely gained control of my powers so I can return home now." Raven lied.
"Oh, I get it," Beast Boy replied.
"I'm gonna miss you, you were just like a sister to me." Cyborg said hugging Raven tightly.
"I'm going to miss you to Cy; I wish I didn't have to go." Raven replied.
"Alright, I think we should go before it gets to hard for you Raven." Robin said, "I'll be back in a couple of days."
"Alright, we'll be able to hold our own while you're gone." Beast Boy said.
Then Raven and Robin climbed into the ship and waved good bye in response to the other three's waving.
