Raven and Robin/Bob had it all worked out. Robin had already been waiting for an hour so they could do their 'date'. Robin had kept what they were going to do away from her but Raven wanted it to be a surprise anyway.

"I'm going out guys" she announced as if she was going to somewhere she'd normally go to. The others replied with 'okay' and 'cya' as Raven walked to the exit. She entered outside wondering what Robin would be dressed like. With wonder she turned to see someone. Raven had to stop herself from either laughing or fainting. There standing in front of her was Robin, but not just the normal Robin she knew. He was dressed in a black t-shirt with the words 'Lived to ROCK!' in bright colours on it with a image of an electric guitar in the back, he wore jeans with a few holes that had been patched up terribly and it looked like it had been ripped at the hem giving it a sort of baggy style. Robin also had done something with his hair. It was gelled up a bit, not to much but enough to be noticed. He looked so different; the only thing Raven actually recognised was his mask which stayed there all the time she had known him.

"Hey Raven" said Robin. Raven still awestruck said hello back still staring at Robin. A long silence captured the moment making Raven feel nervous and scared.

"You look nice" she commented breaking the awkward silence. Raven watched as Robin looked at what he was wearing and grinned at her. Raven felt a bit warmer after that.

"Thanks. Its just some old clothes. You look nice too" complimented Robin. Raven looked at what she was wearing. It was just her normal outfit she usually wore. She wasn't wearing anything flashy or pretty it was just her normally leotard and cape. Raven looked down feeling embarrassed.

"I can change if you want me to-"

"No! No. It's fine I always like that outfit anyway it suits you better" said Robin. Raven smiled a bit lifting her head back up. Robin grinned at her and Raven knew she was blushing as he grinned at her. Raven straightened her back.

"So what are we going to do?" she asked feeling a little more confident. Robin was silent for a while. Raven raised her an eyebrow curious.

"You do know what we're doing right?" continued Raven. Robin twiddled his thumbs.

"Yes-no-ish" Robin answered. Raven frowned.

"Then what are we supposed to do?" asked Raven. Robin looked at Raven and grinned again.

"I've never really been on a date before" said Robin scratching his head nervously. Raven pondered a while thinking of they could do.

"Well what do people normally do on a first date?" she asked him. Robin shrugged at her. Raven frowned again.

"I wasn't born here and on my planet they didn't really have dates" she said. She could see that Robin was thinking as well. Both lost in thought they stood in front of the tower in silence.

"Well we could go for ice-cream" suggested Robin. Raven shrugged at him, the weather was quite warm today.

"We could…" answered Raven. Raven looked at Robin who was looking at Raven as if he wanted her to decide. We've got nothing else to do she thought. Raven knew they had to do something besides standing there and thinking of what to do. Raven looked up to the sky and felt the warmth of the sun on her face.

"Okay" she answered. "We might as well". Robin smiled at her as Raven walked up to him.

"Well then let's get ice-cream" said Robin. They started to walk slowly away from the tower into the city and Raven smiled but not to noticeably as they walked. Suddenly she felt warmth coming from her hand and she realised Robin was holding it. She neither took her hand away nor do something back, she just kept on walking with Robin holding her hand. Raven knew at that moment she was utterly content.

"What ice-cream you want?" Robin asked.

"Strawberry" she answered. Raven never cared about what flavour ice-cream she got as long as it wasn't gross like the one Starfire picked when she first tried ice-cream. But strawberry so far seemed to be her favourite ice-cream, even thought she had only had ice-cream a couple of times, it as plain, simple, tasty and yet enjoyable to have in a strange way. Lost in thought Raven saw that Robin was smiling at her. Robin looked back at the person in the ice-cream truck.

"We'll have two strawberry ice-creams then" Robin said to the man in the ice-cream truck. Raven watched as the man in the truck grinned at both of them.

"Sure two strawberry ice-creams for you and your girlfriend" said the man and he started to scoop. The ice-cream for them. To Raven's surprise Robin didn't correct the man and what really surprised her was that she didn't either. Maybe I just like being called someones girlfriend since I've never been one before she told herself. The man handed the ice-creams to them and Robin handed the money. Raven object that he shouldn't pay since she was the one forcing him to go on the date so she could be saved.

"It's alright, I'll pay for it" he shushed her giving her then ice-cream. The both walked to a little table with a sun umbrella over it so they wouldn't have to sit in the sun. Raven licked her ice-cream plainly enjoying the cold sensation. She looked at Robin who was looking at her and licking his own ice-cream with his head turned to the side and turning the ice-cream around making it look like he was making a pot out of ice-cream and using his tongue to form it. Neither of them said a word. Suddenly Raven saw someone she thought she had seen before but she didn' t know where she had seen her. The girl disappeared and Raven stopped licking her ice-cream to try and see where she went.

"Raven what are you doing?" Robin asked. Raven looked at Robin and started to lick her ice-cream again.

"I thought I saw someone I recognised" she answered. She brushed the thought away and put her attention on her ice-cream.

"Was it one of those girls from the speed date?" questioned Robin. Raven realised now. It was the 'i want to be popular' group. Raven sighed. They probably were just spying on Raven making sure she was doing the date. Raven nodded to Robin and Robin raised his eyebrows.

"They've been following us eversince we left the tower" said Robin. Raven felt a bit dumb. There had been a pack of girls following her around for around half an hour and she didn't notice until now. They continued to say nothing for a while until Robin started to talk to her.

"You really hate that group of girls don't you" said Robin. Raven nodded.

"I can't get any peace and quiet at school cause of them" she explained. "All because I'm the only sane girl in that class". Robin laughed at what she said and she smiled.

"Have you gotten rid of that shirt that you wore at the speed date? asked Robin. Raven nodded. She hated the shirt she wore. Not just because it was pink but because of the smell. It was the horrible smell of new clothes.

"I burned it already" she told him. Robin grinned and Raven felt warm. Raven was curious all of a sudden there was a question she hadn't asked him yet.

"Bob why were youat the speed date?" she asked. Robin went a bit pink in the face.

"umm-

Raven suddenly felt her chair being pushed forward. She closed her eyes and felt herself fall on something surprisingly soft and gooey more surprising she felt a warm sensation on her lips but she couldn't tell what it was. Raven opened her eyes to find Robin's face right in front of hers. Both of their chairs had been toppled over. Raven used her arms to push herself off Robin to find that they were both completely covered in strawberrying ice-cream. She felt her cheeks warm up ten times faster then Starfire could make a mess in the kitchen. Raven froze. She was on her knees once leg on each side of Robin. The two ice-cream cones lay beside them all the ice-cream gone out of them. Raven and Robin both froze. They didn't dare to move at all. Robin stared at her and she stared at him. They stared subconciously not knowing at all what was happening or what had happened in the moment where she fell on top of him.

"I'm so sorry!" said a familiar voice behind her. Raven turned to see one of the 'I want to be popular' group girls babbling about how sorry she was. Regaining her full concoiusness Raven quickly stood up and helped Robin to his feet. She didn't know if Robin was blushing if it was just the strawberry ice-cream. Robin grinned at her looking embarassed and they both started to but the chairs back in position.

They both stood infront of the tower still completely covered in strawberry ice-cream.

"I'm so sorry" she mumbled. Robin looked at Raven and wiped a bit of ice-cream off him.

"Don't worry it was fun gettting completely covered in ice-cream" said Robin comfortingly. They both just stood there for a while looking at each other without saying a word.

"Hey Raven. Was this a real date between you and me?" asked Robin. Quickly Raven said what her brain told her to say.

"No. We're just friends" she said and regretted it soon after. Robin looked down.

"I understand" said Robin and he entered the tower. Raven watched him go and then entered to tower to see Starfire looking at her with horror.

"Raven you had ice-cream with out me?!" exclaimed Starfire looking at the stawberry ice-cream covered Raven. Raven looked down at the ice-cream and frowned knowing she would never be able to eat strawberry ice-cream again.
