A/N I: Hola amigos! Como estas? Yo estoy bien! Hey….I know Spanish! Anywho, here's an update, not as quick as last time but I think I did good. Besides, this one's almost twice as long so it's okay. I figured my routine will be a chapter every four days, not bad right? My plugs for this chapter are:

"Casablanca Lilies" by Alena-Chan…don't even get me started on how absolutely awesome that story is, otherwise we'd be here all day and we wouldn't get to the next chapter.

This next one has nothing to do with Teen Titans but (shrugs) oh well. If you are a fan of Pokemon and the couple of Ash and Misty, Pink Falcon has a new story out named Phantom. Oh. My. God. It is really awesome, so check it out!

A/N II: For many of my reviewers who didn't know 143 I'm sorry. I shouldn't have just assumed everyone would have known what it meant. It means I love you. 1 for the letter I, 4 for each letter in love and 3 for every letter in you. Yeah. I promise I didn't make that up. I picked it up somewhere on the internet or my friend told me or something like that.

A/N III: Anywho just for the record, I plan on updating every four days, just to set a routine for you guys. I'm going to try and stick as closely to that as I can but I'm not perfect.

Love Potion

By Amber Myst

Chapter III: Distractions (think of kittens)

§§§§

This wasn't fair.

Robin sat in the dimly lit living with a frown on his face, his displeased and angry expression bordering on petulant. He had been sitting there ever since Raven vanished. Well, he went to his room first to dry off and change but afterwards he went to the living room and finding it empty, he sat down. That was over three hours ago. It was still raining outside, a crack of thunder rumbling across the darkened, weeping heavens. Almost instantly, lighting ripping unbridled across the sky. The feelings churning inside matched the storm raging outside of the Tower's walls.

It wasn't fair to be forced to love someone he didn't want to love. But he should be use to things not being fair, life wasn't fair. He sighed, as he thought of Raven. Well, she hadn't really left his thoughts, even with the inner turmoil he was suffering with. He felt the need to be with her, every second he wasn't his heart clenched and his chest tightened to the point where he had to force himself to breath. He took several deep breaths, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly to calm his erratic heart. He didn't want to be dependent on the dark girl. If this scared him then it meant that Raven was terrified. She didn't handle emotion well and he didn't want to thrust any of this on her but unfortunately, he had no choice. At least he could be sure she'd handle it maturely.

This was all Jinx fault. He thought of the pink witch and scowled. If it weren't for Raven hewould be in love with Jinx. He shuddered. Being in love Raven was waaayyyy better than beingin love with Jinx. Besides feeling as if he would die if he didn't have her touching him, it reallywasn't that bad, well so far anyway. If he had to pick a female to spend all his time with, it wouldprobably have been Raven anyway. She was intelligent, sarcastic but in a witty, funny way, andthey would never run out of things to talk about. That is, if he could get her to start talking in the first place.

His scowled deepened. Were those feeling from the spell or himself? He sighed, frustration lacing the whoosh of breath. He hated being manipulated in any way.

'Well,' he thought to himself. 'I think it's me. All those things are true, and things I might have thought before today, so I guess so.' And if her mind didn't keep them occupied then her body would be more than enough. Okay, now that was the spell talking.

Wasn't it?

Suddenly, a jagged flash of lighting crashed nearby and the lights went out. He jumped up too quickly and tripped over the coffee table. Cursing to himself, heclimbed to his feet, vaulting over the couch. He walked quickly over to the door, knowing there would be nothing to impede his progress.Using his hands, hetried to pry it open but it wouldn't budge. He frowned. Who's idea was it to have electric doors? What was he suppose to do now that he couldn't get out?

That fact was finally driven home…he couldn't get out. He wasn't claustrophobic or anything remotely similar but his breathing quickened. That meant he couldn't get to Raven. He felt need swamp him and he leaned against the door. He felt sick again. Maybe it was one of the side effects of the spell?

Maybe if he was separated from Raven any extensive length of time then he would feel ill? Hegroaned as he stomached churned. Well he got his answer.

Myriad, confusedthoughts ran wildly through his head. Then where was she? Was she feeling the same things he was? He could feel her aura but he couldn't pin point it. His eyes widened. How could he 'feel' where she was at? Could she feel him too? "Raven." He whispered breathlessly.

He rested his feverish forehead against the cool, smooth metal of the door. He was burning up, as if a flames were slowly consuming him from the inside out. He gritted his teeth as his stomach clenched painfully. "Where are you…I need you."

Suddenly a black form morphed through the door he was leaning against and fell backwards in shock. "Raven." He breathed. She was a sight for sore eyes.

"Are you okay?" She asked him, as she knelt next to him, her cape settling around her shoulders.

Robin nodded wordlessly. "How did you know?"

Raven frowned as she shrugged her shoulders. "I heard you. You feel sick don't you?"

"No. Well, I did before you walked though the door but now I'm fine. I figure that it was a side effect from being away from you ."

Raven closed her eyes and nodded as she tried to keep from screaming in frustration.It was dark, what did it matter if her eyes were open or not, even if she did have excellent night vision?

"Yeah, I found some information about it but I need you to tell me what other symptoms you're suffering from."

There was a lengthy silence and Raven opened her eyes, annoyed at his silence only to gasp. Robin was only inches away from her. How did he move so close without her noticing?

She held her breath as he looked into her violet eyes intently. "Rae." His husky tones displayed every emotion she had felt on the rooftop and every emotion she was sure she would see reflected in his eyes if he wasn't concealing them.

His hands came up and unlatched her cape, the material sliding to the floor. His fingers lingered for only a few seconds on her shoulders. The obscured eyes that were boring into hers left, trailing downwards and over her body in a heated manner.

Raven flushed, feeling heat creep over her face. It was dark but with the occasion flash of lighting she was sure he could see plenty. Now she wasn't too self conscious and obviously didn't mind people seeing her in her leotard; she wore it all the time although she always wore her cloak. Nevertheless, the eyes observing her had never displayed so much heat. It was as if he was undressing her with his eyes and could see ever inch of flesh she hid from the world. She raised a hand to push him away him but he caught it, instead pressing it gently to his cheek. The hand holding her own slid down to her forearm in a whisper of movement. Raven trembled as she stared at him, entranced or maybe stunned by his audacity.

How did he evoke so many feelings in her with a simple touch? Maybe it was a side effect of the spell. Maybe it was her own feelings, but she honestly didn't know. And at the moment she didn't care to know.

He tugged gently on the part of her arm that he was holding and she fell into him with little resistance, her cape surrounding them both. He let go of her arm and trailed his fingers lightly down her sides, resting them on her hips as he buried his face into neck, inhaling her unique scent. Raven froze, violet eyes wide as he started to trail hot, open-mouth kisses up her neck. She bit back a small moan and closed her eyes, relishing in the sensations as she buried her hands in his hair.

The logical part of her mind screamed at her to stop; to get a grip on her rampant emotions before something went horribly wrong but she couldn't hear it over the blood pounding in her ears and the erratic beating of her heart, didn't want to hear it. He reached the underside of her chin and she shuddered. Tilting her head back so that her hair fell backwards, it brushed her shoulders as she gave him better access. He began to nibble along the underside of her jaw, finally reaching her ear and drawing the earlobe gently between his teeth and tugging.

"Robin…" She murmured through clenched teeth.

Suddenly the lights fluttered on with the sound of whirling machinery. The abrupt brightness awoke her from her trance and with a small cry she pushed Robin away from her and melted into the floor.

Robin simply laid there, his chest heaving as he tried to grab hold of his frenzied breathing. His blood was pounding in his ears and the hum of the backup generator was barely discernible. He closed his eyes trying to calm him wildly careening thoughts.

"God…" He moaned softly as he rolled onto his stomach and used his arms to push himself back into a kneeling position. The position he and Raven were just… Shaking his head, he firmly pushed that dangerous thought aside. He couldn't believe he just did that! Better yet, he couldn't believe that Raven just melted into his arms, letting him have his way with her. For a second, he damned Cyborg's backup generator, wanting nothing more than to finish where he and the dark girl left off. But as the fervor and his passion clouded mind cleared he realized that they were damned lucky it turned on when it did.

He groaned as he picked himself up off the floor. Damn, he needed a cold shower.

- To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven -

Raven stood in front of her bathroom mirror shivering violently. She gripped the porcelain sink so tightly, her knuckles were white with the strain. Breathing heavily, she thanked the heavens above it didn't go any farther than it did. Because she would have let him take her right then and there and wouldn't have given a damn about the consequences.

"Shit." She swore to herself as she tried to turn on the faucet. It took three tries because she was shaking so badly. "Calm Raven…you can handle this." She told herself.

Her thoughts suddenly flashed back to the previous moment and she barely repressed a shudder. "Fuck, I can't handle this."

Once the basin was full, she turned off the tap and dump a washcloth in. She let it soak before she wrung out any excess water and placed it against the back of her neck. Her skin seemed to be on fire and the cool cloth felt heavenly against her overheated body. She closed her eyes and hummed slightly to distract herself from any inappropriate thoughts and heated flashbacks as she soaked the washcloth again and wrung it out once more, this time placing it against her forehead.

'Think safe things, like kittens, rainbows, fluffy rabbits…big, soft things...long, hard things.' Raven thought firmly to herselfbefore she muffled a scream at herself for that last thought. "Stop thinking about it!"

A x-rated vision flashed through her head and she flinched, horrified. "No, not 'it', I meant Robin!" She muttered to herself. God, her raging hormones were working over time.

After repeating the action of placing the cool washcloth against her skin a few more times, she pulled the plug and watched the water drain. She turn off the light and left the bathroom, stripping as she went. It was late, a little after midnight and she went to her dresser to get her pajamas. It was only a black, silk tank top and matching shorts that reached mid thigh and she toppled into bed.

However, she tossed and turned, mumbling to herself as she tried to find a comfortable position. It was so hot, she was glad that she had decided to wear her silk pajamas to bed. Finally, she became fed up with the discomfort and slipped out of bed, mumbling as she approached her window, throwing it open. A soft breeze floated in, bringing with it the refreshing coolness and salty smell of the bay and she sighed in relief before turning around and stumbling back towards her bed. She climbed in and didn't even bother with the sheets. After a few seconds, she fell into a fitful sleep, dreaming of the Boy Wonder doing inappropriate things to her.

- True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly -

Raven sighed in contentment, as she rolled over her in bed, her arm colliding with something that let out a soft moan. She muttered an almost incoherent, "Sorry," before twisting around once more in the pair of arms that held her and drifting back to sleep.

A split second later, Raven's eyes shot wide open when she realized a few things. One, there was someone in bed with her. Two, there was a pair of arms encircling her waist. Three, there was someone, other than her in her room.

She scowled at her own redundant stupidity. "Great deduction, Sherlock."

Raven tried to scoot out of bed discreetly but she became entangled in the sheets, rolling out of bed and hitting the floor. She decided right then and there as she stared at her ceiling, that now would be a good time to scream bloody murder, discretion really wasn't very important at the moment. And so she did, waking up every titan in the tower. Scrambling to her feet, she was still wrapped in her sheets. It took her two seconds to realize that the man in her bed was Robin, who had shot up when she screamed. He was now scratching his head in confusion, trying to grasp what was happening.

"What are you doing in my room Raven?" He asked suddenly.

She huffed in irritation. "Excuse me? YOUR room?"

At that moment the rest of the titans ran into room. They came to a screeching halt, eyes wide and jaws gaping at the sight. Their leader was in Raven's bed with a sheet draped across his waist, everything up from that point was bare and Raven was standing next to the bed red-faced with a sheet wrapped around her body.

"Eh. Should we leave you two alone?" Beast Boy spoke without thinking as he was prone to do.

Raven shot him a death glare and watched with satisfaction as he withered and died beneath it.

"What's going on?" Robin looked from Raven's red face to the team's bewildered ones.

"You tell me?" Raven demanded, deciding to untangle herself from the sheet fall and crossing her arms across her chest upon completion "What are you doing in my bed?" she hissed.

Robin decided to stop a second and look around before he embarrassed himself anymore. Taking in the dark walls, bookshelves and creepy masks he came to a startling conclusion. "This isn't my room."

Raven rolled her eyes heavenward. "Please help me." She muttered to herself as she tapped her foot impatiently.

"Oh. I can see now why you are such a wonderful detective." She said, voice dripping with sarcasm despite the sharp look Robin was sending her way. "Now please kindly get the hell out of my bed!"

Robin frowned before sliding to the edge of the bed and standing up immediately. He turned back towards his team, who were still watching him. "What?" He muttered peeved, before scratching his cheek sleepily. He still didn't know how he ended up in Raven's bed. And he was tired as hell.

He didn't receive an answer and his team couldn't seem to draw their eyes from him. "What?" He snapped, slightly irritated. He felt a slight breeze and he couldn't help but freeze in barely concealed horror. 'Please tell me I'm wearing pants. Please tell me I'm wearing pants. Hell, I can do without pants as long as I'm not standing here in the nude.' He thought to himself as he squeezed his eyes shut.

"Dude, you're standing there in your boxers." Beast Boy pointed out, snickering slightly.

Robin looked down and sure enough, his Batman boxers were on display for everyone to see. He let out a sigh of relief and a smile bloomed onto his face. "Thank god for good 'ol Bruce." He froze again. Did he just say that out loud?

He looked up and everyone was still looking at him strangely. He cleared his throat, turning his smile into a frown. "Just my boxers? Damn where did I put those pajamas." He gave a strangled laugh and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. He wondered briefly where the breeze he felt came from and he twisted his torso slightly to look over his shoulder. Ah, open window.

"Robin…you need help." Cyborg declared. "And I am no where near qualified or awake enough to give you the help you need. So I suggest you get a psychiatrist and let the rest of us sleep. I'm gone." Cyborg barely refrained from yawning and walked from the room, lifting a hand absently in farewell.

Beast Boy didn't try to stop the yawn that erupted from him, not even bothering to cover his mouth. "You guys got issues and it is waaayyyy too early to try and solve them at this moment, so I'm just gonna go back to bed." He followed in Cyborg's wake as he left the room.

Starfire was the only one left, her green eyes still wide. They shimmered brightly with as undecipherable emotion as she turned without a word and returned to her own room.

Robin blinked and then looked to Raven. "What just happened?" Fuck it. It was way too early to try and figure it out.

Raven growled, she was determined to get her answer if it killed him. "What in the hell were you doing in my bed!"

"Apparently sleeping." Robin answered dryly as he climbed back into her bed and pulled the cover over his head.

Raven barely managed to hold back a scream as she grabbed a handful of her hair and closed her eyes. "Calm Raven…calm."

"You know speaking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." She opened her eyes, murder blazing brightly within the amethyst depths, to look down at Robin who was looking back up at her with an indeterminable expression on his face.

"You!" She growled before she launched herself at him, trying to get her hands around his neck.

He laughed as he fell backwards holding her wrists. She had more strength in her petite form than Robin would have originally thought as she came dangerously close to curling her fingers around his neck. They wrestled around a bit until she was straddling his waist, still determined to wring his scrawny neck.

It took Raven a few seconds to realize their suggestive position and she blushed, stopping her struggle.

Apparently it occurred to Robin too because he hastily let her go. His expression became fearful and she just had to ask what his problem was as she crossed her arms over her chest. She trapped her hands beneath her arms as they still itched to curl around his neck.

"What?" She snapped darkly, suppressing the urge to choke the life out of him.

"Did we-uh did we…" He stumbled over his words but what he was trying to ask was inescapably lucid. He hoped to high heaven they didn't but a part of him was kind of hoping they did. He grimaced. That was the spell talking…he hoped.

"No." She answered shortly, watching him curiously.

He pouted playfully. "Too bad."

She sighed and counted to three before swinging her left leg over him and sliding out of bed.

"Out. NOW!" She demanded, pointing towards the door as the pillow behind his head exploded.

"I need to meditate." She muttered to herself.

Robin winced before hastily doing as she asked. He didn't want to piss her off anymore, at least for that morning anyway. "You think?" He asked sarcastically.

He ducked out of the door just in time to avoid Raven's shoe being launched at his head. It banged loudly against the wall next to him.

Okay, that was the last time he pissed her off.

- Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile -

The rain had let up some time ago, reduced to light drizzle. It was almost noon, but not many people were walking around. Jinx tapped her foot in impatience as she waited for her comrades to reappear. She peered into the dark alley that was standing at the mouth of and resisted the urge to yell their names. "What is taking those idiots so long?"

A loud crash later, Mammoth and Gizmo came into view, almost running her over. "Did you do it?"

"Yep, we tripped the alarm, all we have to do now is wait for those stupid barf bags to show up! And this time we're not going to easy on them!" Gizmo declared with false glee as his four, long, metal limbs extended from the pack he had on his back, raising him off of the ground. The four extensions began to climb the brick wall next to him. Once he reached a sizeable height, he paused and drew out a pair of binoculars as he scanned the surrounding streets.

"Now we wait." Mammoth drew back further into the shadows of the alley.

"Raven won't know what hit her." Jinx purred as she smiled maliciously.

- In all that we do let us do it for love -

The alarm began to blare loudly, as Raven entered the kitchen. She sighed and turned towards the living room. "There goes my breakfast." She mumbled to herself.

When she entered the living room, she blinked. Cyborg was talking to Beast Boy and Starfire, who kept throwing worried glances at Robin. Robin was currently standing against the wall with a scowl on his face as he glared daggers into the back of Cyborg's head. If looks could kill, Cyborg would have been dead sixty years before he was born and twenty times over. Yeah that's how pissed the young leader was.

"What's going on?"

All eyes turned to her and Cyborg sighed. "Robin's a bit upset because I won't allow him to come with us on this next mission."

"You have no plausible reason to make me stay!" Robin declared hotly as he crossed his arms almost childishly across his chest.

"Besides." He muttered to himself rebelliously. "It's my team."

Raven almost expected him to stomp his feet and pout like a petulant child.

"Oh yes I do! How will we know if you will be able to fight adequately if you're infatuated with Raven!" Cyborg tried to reason, his voice raising despite his efforts to keep under control.

Raven silently agreed with him. Robin could not afford to be distracted by her when they were in the field. Nevertheless, that had some problems in itself.

Robin knew his metallic friend was right but he didn't have to like it. He sulked some more.

When the alarm had blared, he almost jumped for joy. There was nothing like beating in the faces of a couple of thugs to release pent up tension. But now he had to stay while everyone else had fun.

So not cool.

Raven injected her own problems with that idea. "Robin can't venture very far from me."

When all eyes turned back to her, she shrugged. "It's a part of this stupid curse." It wasn't meant to be a curse but that was certainly how it felt to her.

"Not with out him feeling some kind of retribution. All the way across town is too far."

Robin began to feel hopeful. This was good. This was very good. If Raven went then he had to go.

Cyborg sighed. "Then Raven…I'm sorry you can't go either."

Both of the birds' mouths dropped. "What?"

Raven shook her head. "Then we're sending the team out missing two members. If you haven't noticed, there are only five of us to begin with!"

"Yeah I know and I'm sorry. But we can't risk it. If we need help we'll call you guys." Cyborg declared firmly, his tone final.

Starfire glanced at the two shocked birds worriedly. "Maybe I should stay and make sure everything is…okay."

Cyborg shook his head. "Not having Robin and Raven will already hurt the team. We can't afford to leave anyone else behind if we can help it. Now, move out Titans."

Beast Boy and Cyborg walked out the door but Starfire lingered a bit before following the other two, a blank expression on her face.

Robin was still grumbling to himself about Cyborg and none of it was very flattering.

Raven sighed and walked out of the room, leaving Robin to his childish grumbling. Once again they were left without a chaperone. They were old enough to do without one of course, but with this spell and Raven not being sure of her feelings for the Boy Wonder anymore, being alone with said person was the last thing she wanted to do. Especially after her last lapse of control and the ensuing results.

"Hey Raven!" She sighed and paused, allowing Robin to catch up.

"What?" She asked, her eyes going to him.

"Nothing." He flashed her a charming smile before lacing their fingers together.

Her eyes flickered from his face to their joined hands. She seriously considered tearing off his hand but it had been hours since they last had physical contact so she dismissed it with a shake of her head. That was another thing that pissed her off. The spell required them to touch although she didn't want to be forced to touch someone if she didn't want to. She sure as hell wasn't use to it and didn't want to become use to it.

"You know," He started amiably. "I can remember there being a time when you would have torn my arm off for even thinking about doing this. Is it possible that you're beginning to tolerate me?"

Raven rolled her eyes at the absurd question. "I woke up this morning with you in my bed and you walked out of my room alive. I think that speaks for itself." She intoned dryly.

"What? Was I suppose to walk out dead?" He quipped.

Raven groaned. Sometimes Robin's sense of humor was really too much. "Cardiac, you're under arrest." Raven wasn't sure if that was intentional or a mistake but her own sense of humor still hasn't forgiven him for that one. "It's too early for that Robin."

"What about later?"

Raven briefly entertained the thought of slapping him or perhaps thrusting him into the another dimension but her quietly, growling stomach soon garnered all of her attention. She had forgotten about breakfast. "I'll think about it after I get something to eat."

Robin grinned at the dark beauty walking next to him. "No problem! I've learned from the best!" His thoughts flicked briefly to Alfred, his former butler and friend.

Raven grimaced. What was she getting herself into?

Miraculasacies: It's okay, I completely understand. I was just joking around with you. And you're not the only one who didn't understand the irony of 143. It should be in my author's notes at the beginning of the chapter, thanks for reviewing!

Gilraen R. Luinwe: Thank you! Better get that homework done, lol. I'm glad you enjoyed that last chapter cuz I had fun writing it!

BirdsOnTheBrain: No problem whatsoever, I've enjoined every chapter you've written so far and I sincerely believe that you're a way better writer than myself, I'm not even joking. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Aero:: Yeah I am. Sorry about that. I will get around to updating, be sure about that. Thanks for the review!

Ravenrogue19: Ha, yeah me too. I hope this update wasn't too late. It took me twice as long as last time but, it still has only been five days.

Violetx3: Thanks a lot for taking the time to review!

Iris Night: Yep and just for you! Lol. Well, for everyone but you're a part of everyone so I guess it's the same. And no problem, I hate that false love crap too. Review!

Lady Serenity Moon Child: I know! I had so many different ideas scrambling around in my mentally challenged head that it I basically had to kick myself to keep this fic from never ending or staying to one idea. I do hope you enjoy the plotline I decided to use, and you'll just have to stick around to find out which one. And no more guessing for you…you're waaayyy too close to home for comfort. I want it to be a surprise. Are you psychic!

Hound Archon: I laughed when I got to the end of your last review… "keep it real homie." It was so random I cracked up. I never said I was normal and my sense of humor leaves a lot to be desired. My brother was in the same room when I was reading it and I had to explain why I was laughing. I told him that you called me homie and he just looked at me strangely and asked if my braids were too tight. I felt really lame. Anywho, thanks for the laugh and the review.

Raven-Angel-of-Darkness: Sorry, I think next chapter or definitely the one after that will be the realization of the fifth person in the love pentagon unless you want to guess. However, your first guess will be the only one that counts. But you do guess right I'll dedicate the next chapter to you…so try your hardest. Thanks for taking the time to check out those stories I suggested. See the A/N at the beginning as for what 143 means.

Crystaltear CT: OMG YEAH! I heard about that! I really, really, really hope they don't cancel it! We have to petition, we have to riot, we have to do something! LONG LIVE TEEN TITANS! LLTT! Anywho, your threat made me laugh more than it actually scared me but here's your update anyway. Your review is more than enough to make me get this next chapter up. (although the threats do amuse me so.)

Alena-chan: Yeah, Jinx killing Raven is a bit over the top but hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Or something similar to that effect, yes? Anywho, it means a lot to have you actually take the time to review for my story, don't know if I mentioned it before but thanks!

Bria: SNCSM! I don't know if I'd shoot you, maybe hog tie you and shove a dirty sock in your mouth, lol. But believe me, Robin wants to jump her…but it's my job as author to tharwt his advances! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! But who knows, maybe I'll slip.

Pureangel86: Questions! I enjoy questions because most of the time I can give them either of the following answers. It's either a) read the summary and if it ain't there read my profile. b) I don't know. And c) wait and find out. Your answer is c. Review!

Sarah: Honestly, that's what I'm saying! The whole Starfire and Robin angle is so predictable and so absolutely boring! I mean beautiful, kind princess falls in love with the handsome, brave, strong team leader… Puh-leaze! Give me a freakin' break! Sometimes I think people are so shallow. At least Robin and Raven have something in common. I think of Robin as a deep and complex person, and how deep and complex is Starfire? They would barely be able to hold an intelligent, intricate conversation without her becoming totally confused. Oops, you see what happen when I get distracted? Anywho, thanks for reviewing!

Monito: I was just kidding you about before and I don't mind, at least you took the time to review and tell me an inkling of what you thought. I hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Calda Pesca492: Ha! I know what you mean! Sometimes when I know I don't have school the next day I'll stay up until like 8 in the morning reading fanfics. My brain is so fried after staying up so long staring at my computer screen that I can't string coherent sentences. I hope you managed to catch up.

PnayBabyGurl: Thanks for the review!

Joe-ashaman: Hey! Yeah, Jinx and Raven will fight it out but my fighting scenes will be no where near as good as yours were. And I have read the Wheel of Time series, all the way up to book seven but I got bored with them soon after that. There are so many of them and they're all the size of a large encyclopedia. Egwene was my favorite character although I did enjoy Rand's character as well. I guess you're into Sci-fi/Fantasy? I'm absolutely obsessed with them but if the books are too numerous I get bored with the same characters over and over and the plot never seems to end. Have you read the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind or the Sword, the Ring and the Chalice? I like the latter better than the former because there are just too many Sword Of Truth books. I have a short attention span. But lately I've been into the new type of fantasy that's become popular. You know, werewolves, vampires, demons, witches, elves…that type of stuff. I especially love it when they're written in modern times...yep, I'm a total geek. Anywho, I'm rambling right now, so sorry. Drop me a line I guess if you wanna continue this one-sided conversation sometime, lol. Ciao!

Storiestotell:: Yeah, you're right about the show. I thought it was a stupid anime wannabe at first but I sat down with my younger brother to watch it and have been hooked ever since. Thanks for the review!

Amanda: Hey, my best friend's name is Amanda…just a random bit of trivia for ya from Amber's useless life, lol. Thank you so much for the compliments…makes me feel all warm inside. Hey, if you want me to I could email you when I update, let me know!

Enkaiame Katana: Yeah, there will be some fluff in some chapters and no fluff in others. After all the spell isn't all butterflies and fluffballs…it's actually very dangerous as Raven mentioned before. And of course this will have its fair share of drama. Thanks, and stay tuned!

Sadista:: Yeah, thanks! Glad to know you thought I've done a good job picking his head! OOOohhh a Robin poem? Cool, I'll check it out when I get a minute. And I love HP but I mostly only read Harry/OC but I'll check it out anyway, just for you. Yep, cuz I just love ya that much.

Bunbunlover: Thanks! I'm glad to find out that you think I'm worthy of both, lol. Cute and raw definitely doesn't go together but I think you're right. Those just might be the words for the last chapter.

Raerae: Gracias! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

Crzy Grl: Aww shucks, thanks, I live for reviews like yours.
