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 through 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 not, they've grown, meaning the boys are now taller than the girls. Enjoy!


"Have a safe trip dude! And bring me back a souvenir!" Beast Boy called to their leader as his pod began to take off. The other Titans waved to Robin and watched while he shot off towards Gotham in a streak of orange.

Tomorrow was the big day. Beast Boy was nervous because Raven hadn't mentioned anything that indicated she even got his invitation to the Ball which was driving him nuts. He wanted to know what her answer was but didn't want to ask her about it if she hadn't actually seen it.
The Titans turned and began walking out of the loading dock into the main part of the tower again. They reached the Common room and Beast Boy and Cyborg dashed for the game console to begin another tournament. Starfire and Raven stood in the doorway looking at the two. Raven glanced sideways to look at Star. She was actually contemplating 'girl talk' with the alien girl. She really did need a second opinion and she was definitely not talking to Cyborg about it.

Taking a deep calming breath she tapped Starfire on the shoulder to get her attention. "Uh Star, can I, uh, talk to you," She asked feeling awkward. Star looked at her with a smile and nodded, gesturing to the table by the kitchen. "Um, can we talk in privacy?" Raven asked timidly. This was definitely not her strong suit.

Star looked somewhat surprised but nodded again and followed Raven to her room. When the two girls reached the room, Raven tapped the code in and the door opened then closed behind them.

Raven turned and looked at Starfire. This was gonna be interesting.


"Ha! You lose again grass stain. Boo yah! I'm on fire today," Cyborg exclaimed much to the dismay of the changeling beside him. Beast Boy looked behind them at the rest of the room. Raven would most likely be telling them to shut up at this point but Cyborg's excitement was only met with silence.

"Hey, where are the girls?" Beast Boy asked. He stood up and looked around as if he might have missed them hiding in some corner.

Cyborg turned to look too. "Starfire's probably forcing Raven to do beauty stuff. The Ball is tomorrow after all." Cyborg replied while he scanned for a new course for the next race.

Beast Boy shrugged and turned back towards the screen. "So you going with Bumble Bee then?" he asked, waiting for Cyborg to get flustered.

Cyborg rolled his eyes at the younger teen. "Shut up. And yes I am. Who you goin with?"

Beast Boy looked at the ground. He did ask but he wasn't sure if she was intentionally ignoring him or somehow his invitation got lost. He sighed, "No one. I tried but I don't think it's gonna work out," he replied, feeling a bit dejected.

Cyborg paused the game and looked at him. BB looked very bummed which was weird. 'Who did he ask?'

"Uh B? Who did you ask?" Cyborg questioned with caution.

Beast Boy set the controller aside and stood up. "It doesn't matter. I think I'm gonna go work out for a bit," he said and jumped over the couch headed for the door.

'Ooookaaay. That was strange,' Cyborg thought, watching the door close after his friend disappeared through it. He turned back to his game and started up a race against the computer system.


"Oh Raven! I am so very happy for you! This is glorious news!" Starfire was beyond excited. Raven had been asked to got to the Ball and by Beast Boy of all people.
"Star can you keep your voice down. I don't want the whole world to know," Raven asked somewhat irritated. She sighed when Starfire finally settled back down on the floor across from her.

"Anyways. What do you think I should do? Should I accept his offer? We fight constantly. I think it's a little strange he asked me," Raven stated, feeling more insecure by the second.

Starfire shook her head," No friend. I believe Beast Boy is asking you because he wants to."

"But what if it's some kind of joke?" Raven was very on the fence about this whole thing. She'd be lying if she said the prospect of Beast Boy asking her on a date didn't make her happy but she just couldn't fathom that it was reality.

"I have noticed that our friend has grown over time, both physically and mentally. I believe all the bantering you shared when we were younger was a part of the flirting," Star said with a matter of fact tone.

Raven looked down at her lap. Maybe Star was right. But why would Beast Boy like her? Out of all the other girls they'd met over the years, Starfire included, why would he choose her?


Robin pressed a button and the pod shell slid back allowing him to jump free. He'd just made it into the batcave where he was supposed to meet up with Bruce. There really wasn't any mission going on, but he still had to return home in order to make everyone think that Richard Grayson and Bruce Wayne were headed to Jump like normal people. He walked over to the main door leading into the control central of the Bat layer. He pulled his glove of his hand and placed it on the pad. A green light appeared and scanned his hand, then a keyboard emerged and a password bar appeared on the screen. Robin quickly typed the password and the door opened. He walked inside, setting his bag down on a work bench. He didn't see Bruce anywhere. Looking around, everything looked to be in top shape, like always.

"Welcome back," said a low gravelly voice. It came from his far right. He turned and noticed a tall man standing in front of a monitor. The man was dressed in black dress pants, a light blue dress shirt and navy tie. He short black hair was combed into a smooth short hair style and he looked perplexed.

The man turned to face Robin who immediately felt himself relax. Bruce smiled at him and beckoned him over towards the screen. Robin walked over to see what he was doing.

On the screen was a large seating arrangement. There were about 40 tables and a large area planned out for dancing.

"Where would you like to put the Titans table?" Bruce asked looking back up at the screen.
Robin noticed a long head table set for the hosts of the event and their guests. Not far from the head table was a round table with plenty of seats.

"I think this table would be perfect," he said with a smile. Bruce then tapped a few buttons and the label for the Titans appeared over the table.

"I believe Alfred is almost through with dinner. Shall we go find out?" Bruce asked, looking over at his prodige.

Robin nodded his head, then turned to go grab his bag. He walked over to the changing room and disappeared from view. Only to return not looking anything like 'Robin'. He was now wearing a pair of dark jeans and black tennis shoes with a black tee shirt and red jacket. His hair was messy in a good way but not spiked up. He wasn't wearing the mask anymore either, allowing the blue of his eyes to sparkle in the sunlight filtered through a few broke shafts in the ceiling. He smiled at his adoptive father as he met him at the elevator door.

"It's good to have you home, Dick. We've all missed you," Bruce told him with a smile. Dick nodded with a shy smile.

"I've missed you all too," he replied as the elevator doors dinged shut.
