Beast Boy had succeeded in taking Raven out that evening after the fight with the three robbers, waiting until everyone had a chance to relax. They left at about seven leaving Robin, Cyborg and Starfire at home by themselves. Cyborg was working on the T-car again, as usual Robin had locked himself up in the evidence room, so this left Starfire alone in the main room to quietly stare at Silkie as he ate the meal she had made for his dinner, while she sipped at her favorite "drink", mustard. No one was vain enough to think the red-haired, green-eyed, and orange skinned female was a human, so it wasn't all too much of a surprise after the initial shock and confusion, it was just an alien thing. The evening had been painfully quiet after everyone went their separate ways, save for Cyborg's machines roaring and whirring. Bored, and a bit lonely, she stood, telling Silkie that his "K'norfka" would be back soon. She closed her door after herself and floated toward the garage, slowly opening the metal door and peering inside, looking for her friend. There the half-man half-robot stood, his right arm in the form of a buffer as he waxed "his baby's" hood. "Hey, Star." He said when he took note of her eyes staring at him, sparing her a glance. "Good evening, friend Cyborg. I merely came to see if you needed assistance in working on your baby?" She questioned, stepping further into the cool, metal-walled room with a friendly smile. "You spend so much on the singing baby, it must be difficult if it takes so long, so conceivably it would be kind of me to help and make it easier and quicker, yes?" Cyborg smiled a bit at his friend. "Nah, no help needed." He assured. "I spend so much time because I enjoy spending time with her." He mused with a grin, patting the car lovingly. "But thanks, Star." Starfire nodded slowly, stepping back a few steps before she turned to walk out the open door. Cyborg couldn't help but feel bad. She must have been bored to come and ask him about the car. So, before she got to the door, he called out, "But I can take a break." Starfire looked up at him, eyes sparkling. She bounced back so fast, Cyborg thought with a mental chuckle. "Want to play a video game?" Rainbows could almost be seen as Starfire leapt into the air and spun. It wasn't so much that she loved video games anywhere near as much as Cyborg did, it was just that she was happy to not be alone anymore. "Glorious! I shall prepare the unhealthy snacks associated with such event!" Cyborg chuckled as she sped out of the room to gather something they could eat while they played the game. He followed shortly after her to the main room, closing the door to the garage as he left.

Outside the tower, in downtown Jump city, Beast Boy and Raven sat inside of a movie theater, watching a horror movie they both remembered- "Wicked Scary". They chose to watch it because they both knew how good it was, and how good it would be since this was the release of the movie in 3D. Beast Boy, who sat beside Raven, was throwing handfuls of popcorn in his mouth, eyes intently watching the film through the 3D glasses the viewers had been given. Even Raven wore them, and he had been teasing her up until the movie began. At one point, he leaned over to his stoic girlfriend and whispered, "So, are you re-thinking playing haunted house?" He teased, earning a firm palm abruptly hitting him on the back of his head. "Ow!" He shouted in complaint, earning a collective "Shh!" from the others in the dark room. Raven used her powers to pull her hood up over her head, hiding from the glaring people. She hated that there was attention on them now. Not attracting attention was the reason she had made him sit at the very back of the theater, away from everyone. Yet, thanks to Beast Boy's loose-lipped behavior, even though it was normal, she had eyes staring at her. She just couldn't bring him anywhere, so why did she ever try? Lapse in judgment? Loss of brain cells due to being around her boyfriend too long? Both were plausible. Either way, the young male quieted down after a few quiet grumbles about how mean Raven was, pouting slightly as he continued to stuff his popcorn- that was smothered in butter- into his hungry mouth quicker than before. Whether he was eating because he felt pouty and dejected, or to keep his mouth occupied so he didn't get hit again, that was debatable. When the movie ended, most were glad for the return of the lights, scurrying out of the theater with laughs of how terrifyingly wonderful it had been. Raven calmly stood, keeping her hood over her head as she stepped down the stairs to her right and started her way down the steps to leave the room. Beast Boy stood just after her and followed behind her, jeering about how awesome the movie had been, trying to get her to admit she was totally scared, just like the last time. She of course ignored him, not responding. As they got outside and walked along the sidewalk, Beast Boy finally said something that wasn't related to Raven's fear. "That was good!" He cheered. "Way cooler in 3D, right? Didn't I pick a good movie? I am so making everyone watch that later!" He declared, looking at the violet-haired female beside him, who gave a small nod, saying, "Maybe Starfire will actually open her eyes." Beast Boy laughed and nodded in agreement. "And if Cyborg throws up again, I'm gonna bust a lung laughing." He mused, glad that he had gotten her to say more than two words. She had gotten better, a little, but when she wasn't in the tower- one of the few places she felt safe in- she reverted back into her behavior from when they first met, cold and uncaring. Sometimes it bothered Beast Boy, made him think she was embarrassed to be in public with him, but he knew Raven would never do something she didn't want to, so he found a bit of comfort in that. After a short silence, his mouth got him into trouble again. "So, about that haunted house for this year," Beast Boy began. Raven stopped walking, turning to look at him under her hood with a calm facade, but she was irritated over the subject. It hadn't been a fun experience, especially not for her- so why did he want to relive it so badly? "It's almost Halloween," he continued. "And-"

"Beast Boy," Raven said with a stern expression, earning the changeling's attention. "No." She said with a firm, 'this conversation is over' tone. The green-skinned boy sighed. "You're no fun!" He complained loudly, crossing his arms with a childish pout. But, after about the usual fifteen to thirty seconds, he clasped his hands and rubbed them together excitedly. "So! What next?" He asked, smiling fondly at the slightly older female. Raven quietly considered, eventually realizing she hadn't had anything to eat since they had left. "Dinner?" She suggested. "Sounds good!" Beast Boy grinned from pointy ear to pointy ear. He grasped Raven's hand in his own and eagerly led her down to the street, coming to a stop in front of a decent looking restaurant with red walls and golden accents. It was a pretty nice looking place, inside and out. The outside was made up of mahogany bricks and glass double doors. Long, but not very tall. A good enough place for dinner after a movie.

"Do they have tofu?" Beast Boy asked as the walked inside together, earning a very bland "not sure" from Raven. "If not," she added, "get a simple salad." The shape shifter shrugged quietly. He supposed he could deal with a salad. "What'll you get?" He inquired as they sat down at a red-leather booth across from each other. They both glanced over the menus, much to Beast Boy's chargin finding nothing involving tofu, only a salad like Raven had suggested. Well that wasn't very dinner like- he'd look like a anorexic male compared to whatever Raven would likely get. That was, until he spotted a single person pizza option. He put his menu over Raven's, leaning over to point eagerly at the option. "They have vegetarian and normal! And it's two separate pizzas for us both!" Raven was quiet, but silently praised him for finding that before she did. Then again, she was reading every wood of the options, he was probably just glancing at the pictures. Either way, it was a good decision, she thought. "Sounds good." She verbally agreed finally, much to Beast Boy's pleasure. When their food arrived, they both ate in silence, something the grey-skinned female appreciated. She enjoyed the few and far apart calm moments she could share with Beast Boy. She liked him for who he was, loud and endearing, but a bit of quiet was necessary now and then, otherwise she feared she would tear his head off.

While they ate in a rare but pleasant silence, simply enjoying each other's company, back at the tower it was a much different scene. On the black couch, sat the two Titans- Starfire and Cyborg- side-by-side , playing a simple video game, so Starfire could understand the controls. There was a bowl of brightly colored M&M's on the coffee table in front of them as they tried to claim victory over the each other. It was surprise- Starfire was usually so terrible at video games, yet she was doing quite well. Of course Cyborg was better since he had been playing these games longer than her, thus was better, but she tried her best. Cyborg enjoyed this, even without the usual banter from Beast Boy. He had more concentration thanks to his absence, and more time to think of his moves. But he wasn't thinking about his moved. No one really understood the alien girl completely, but he realized at some point that night that he knew the least about her. Beast Boy and Starfire got along like little brother and older sister, Robin was obviously very close to her, and she had even gotten to Raven, dragging her out to the mall from time to time. He really didn't do anything with Starfire, never directly interacted with her without invoked reason, for example when they would fight together. This led him to wonder. "So Star," he began, sparing her a quick glance, noticing her eyes were glued to the screen, just as his own eyes returned to doing not a second later. "Where's Robin?" Well, that just sounded like he wanted her to leave him alone. "In the room of evidence." Starfire told him in soft, slightly displeased tone. "Oh." Cyborg muttered, catching her displeasure. Robin sure did ignore the female for how much he seemed to like her, even if he had never admitted it. "Don't feel bad," he tried to reassure the orange-skinned girl. He smiled and said, "He's a workaholic is all, it isn't anything against you." He tried to reassure her. "I am aware." Starfire said simply, lacking her usual perky tone of voice. Something about it was unsettling. "But I wish friend Robin could relax once in awhile." She voiced her feelings quietly. Cyborg shrugged a bit. "He can, sometimes. It just takes a lot to cool him down."

"Cool him down?" Starfire looked at him, and Cyborg paused the game to return her gaze. "Shall I fetch a bucket of the iced water?" Cyborg started to laugh, barely able to contain himself. "That would irritate him." He warned the foreign female, putting a hand on her shoulder. A sound of cheering from the game took both Starfire and Cyborg's attention, and much to Cyborg's surprise, the side of Starfire's view point was marred by the words "winner". Hadn't he pressed pause?! "I have won the battle!" Starfire cheered, Cyborg's mouth agape. He glanced down at his controller, glaring at the betraying device. Still, he sighed and said, "Nice playing." He smiled as he complimented her, hiding his annoyance and confusion. Starfire smiled cheerfully, grabbing a handful of the green and orange only M&M's, tossing the small pieces of candy into her mouth. Cyborg smiled at the little quirk he had never noticed before. "I thank you, friend Cyborg!" Starfire giggled, "You did admirably yourself!" She praised. Cyborg nodded as he set down his controller on what was earlier seat, standing and moving over to the kitchen to pick up the phone that sat on the counter. "So. Want to order a pizza?" He asked, holding up the phone. Starfire nodded, standing. "Yes. With ici-"

"Not a pizza topping, Star," Cyborg reminded her with a soft chuckle, picking up the phone and dialing in numbers. While he called for their dinner, the young alien from Tameran walked to the window and looked outside, smiling at the stars that twinkled, illuminating the dark new moon sky. 'I wonder if Robin is all right?' She thought silently. Before she could worry too much, Cyborg hung up the phone after placing the order, looking over at his team mate. She looked quite lonely, yet... so beautiful. His one human eye seemed to sparkle, entranced. She was slender, lean, tall... the cyborg shrugged off these thoughts, trying to let the thoughts go. She was exotic and innocent, also strange- most were curious about her and wanted to learn more, so he left it at that. Just his human side being a human, right? Most people were attracted to strange people and things that they didn't understand. He didn't know anyone aside from Beast Boy, who saw Starfire as a big sister, who hadn't been interested in her. Maybe, starting at this moment on the night of a new moon, he was as well enchanted and trapped by her mystery and, dare he say, beauty. "Cyborg?" The male was jolted from his thoughts, quickly focusing on her words. "Do you like the night sky?" The alien had never heard him say anything about it, or anything about nature itself. All of the Titans had something in nature that they admired. For Robin it was sunrise, for Beast Boy it was the animal and plant life, lush places. Raven adored dark, stormy nights. Even if it was a bit gloomy to Starfire, she respected that each of them loved something different. But, for Cyborg? She just didn't know, not at all. And that bothered her a bit. She knew very well that he loved his "baby", the T-car, knew he loved driving her... but she didn't know what- in nature- he liked, or at least appreciated. Cyborg blinked, a bit caught off guard by the question. Where was this coming from? "Um, sure, yeah." He nodded, walking over to stand beside her, looking outside at the water that moved slowly, the gentle breeze making the reflection of the stars dance. "What's on your mind?" He asked, curious. She seemed uncharacteristically somber, and that worried him a bit. He didn't like it, not at all. "I am sure you are aware of everyone's favored nature scenery or life, correct?" Starfire asked, looking back at Cyborg, who nodded a small bit. "Friend Cyborg, what if nature do you appreciate?" The alien stared at him intently, awaiting his answer. Cyborg placed his index finger on his chin, thinking for a moment before he smiled and looked at her. "I like warm, sunny days." He decided after only a couple of seconds. "Like the kind of days that are perfect for outdoor activities." He explained, watching as Starfire turned her body to fully face him, returning his smile. "I miss my home planet's nature and life." The orange-skinned female admitted. Cyborg was quiet for a moment, then he smiled and said, "You have us to talk to, you know. And we'll always be here to listen to those stories of your home planet, so you can reminisce whenever you want to." He placed a hand on her shoulder to try and reassure her, at it seemed to work, for she gave him a more normal smile.

"Mh-mh!" Beast Boy rubbed his now full stomach in appreciation as they walked along the sidewalk, on their way back to the tower to turn in for the night. Raven nodded a bit at his behavior, saying, "That pizza was pretty good." She admitted. "And the herbal tea was exquisite." The violet-haired female said in admiration and appreciation. She really wanted to know how they made it like that. Maybe she'd go back some time and ask. "I'd like to go back sometime.:

"With me?" Beast Boy asked with a big, hopeful smiled at his girlfriend who spared him only a quick glance. Raven rolled her eyes, which the green-eyed boy heard somehow as "yes, of course you," in a loving tone. He had a healthy imagination, that was all. Still, what he wouldn't give to hear that tone in her words, what he wouldn't give for her to take her hood down while they were outside. They both still had a lot to work on, but he was pleased with the progress thus far. Any progress at all had been a surprise to the other Titans. Well, one pair had surprised them. Though Beast Boy did feel a bit bad at times when he was out with Raven. He knew he was happy, and assumed Raven was too, but he also knew Robin and Starfire were practically together. The downside of an uneven amount of team mates. He wondered about how Cyborg felt. Though, in time, the near future even, perhaps Beast Boy wouldn't have to worry about his best friend anymore.
