CHAPTER 1
I woke up the next morning and made my way down stairs to see Starfire working off a ball of excitement. "I can't wait, I can't wait." Starfire shrieked and she turned to face me. For a second I could see fear in her eyes then she replaced it with a smile, "Friend raven will you do the waiting with me?" I rolled my eyes and said, "Waiting for what?"
She jumped up and down in joy then started flying above my head, "The party silly. Titans east and every other titan are coming over to celebrate the defeating of the evil brother hood." I nodded then said, "I'm a little busy why don't you wait with Robin?" I could tell she was relieved right threw her fake frown and the promise to hang out later.
I walked into the living room after Starfire who flew right over to Robin and helped select music for the 'party.' I went into the kitchen were Beastboy and Cyborg were making all kinds of interesting snacks. I started boiling some water for my tea when Starfire flew over.
"Friends, may I make the traditional tameranian foods of the snack?" Cyborg and Beastboy froze with fear. Luckily Robin stepped in to save us all. "Star, why don't you and raven go to the mall and get a new outfit for the party. I don't want any uniforms." Thanks Robin, I rolled my eyes. Just before I could speak Robin turned to me, "Raven you are going to the party even if I have to face down your father's side, dress you and pull you on to the dance floor. Save your excuses and go to the mall."
Starfire clapped her hands in excitement all the way to the mall while I cursed robin out in my complex dimension people call minds. Once at the mall I trailed Starfire threw every pink shirt and miniskirt constantly telling her it didn't work for me and that she should try it on.
Once we were about to leave the store we passed a very gothic looked place. Starfire took my hand and pointed in the other direction at another store full of pink, "Friend surly you must find something in there?" I shook my head and pulled toward the gothic paradise. Once in the store I turned around to see Starfire in the same spot staring after me.
I picked out a off the shoulder bell button shirt in black. The sleeves went down to my wrist, but extra fabric hung off the ends in a 60's or mid-evil fashion. I paired it with some black hip hugging pants with a jeweled belt of rubies to match my charka. I grabbed a matching necklace that had small black beads then a large ruby. For shoes I grabbed a pair of black lace up ballerina slippers. I left the store with a contempt look on my face. I was ready for the party.
Back at the tower people started to arrive and I sat in my room putting on my new outfit. Once I added my last touch of lip-gloss someone knocked on my door. I went over to the door and opened it to see Robin standing there. "Come on the party just started." I pushed past him with a smile, well as close as I can get to a smile. Robin followed me all the way down to the living room. He was wearing a light jean with a dark blue shirt and his mask remained on his face. The large doors slid open when I entered the room and everyone looked up with gapping faces.
The music continued with the ever-wonderful 'Grill' song. Starfire flew up to Robin and pulled him on to the dance floor and they started to dance. I made my way down in to the kitchen grabbed a cup full of punch. Argent made her way over to me and sipped her glass. We finished our punch at the same time when she said, "So you didn't dress up just to drink punch. Let's go dance." She grabbed my hand and pulled me into a group of dancing girls. Starfire was learning to dance from bumblebee and jinx started to dance with argent. The boys were talking in a group and they looked up every once and a while at us dancing. I stared with a small sway of the hips waiting for my song.
All the boys looked up as Beastboy changed the song to 'My humps.' If they wanted a show I'll give it to them. I started to dance seductively and all the girls backed off a little to watch me move. I slowly made my way over to the boys and grabbed beast boy. After dancing with him for a few seconds I saw his face turn red and his eyes grow wide. I spun from his arms to bump into speedy who danced with me. His hands were on my waist and the party began. Jinx and Kid Flash were everywhere in fractions of a second. Bumblebee and 'Sparky' danced by Aqualad and Argent. Robin and Starfire tried to make something out of their mess of dance moves. To tell you the truth there were more guys than girls so a lot of girls had two boys trying to dance with them.
The song ending and Beyonce started her song and I went back to the punch table. I was still swaying my hips when the alarm went off. Beastboy stopped the music, and Robin scanned the computer. "There is an intruder…" He looked at me and was stopped in mid sentence.
At the time I felt someone behind me slowly dance with me. Robin's eyes grew and he said, "Slade." At the sound of his name I turned around to see Slade looking down at me. "Don't you look lovely, a polished Gem." I tried to push him away with my hands, but his hands grasped my wrists. "Let go!" Slade spun me around with his arms still wrapped around me, and his hands still in contact with my wrists.
"Robin, how could you let this one get away?" His eyes went to Starfire. Slade continued, "I know which one I'd pick." Then he whispered in my ear, "I just love evil vixens." At that moment all the titans lunged forward to get me when Slade transported us away from the party I had just begun to enjoy.
