Whoa…thank you so much for all the reviews! I'm sorry this took a little longer then I had anticipated, I had a lot of homework, ugh. Anyways, here's chapter four!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans… :(

Chapter 4: Just Like The Movies

It had been three days since Beast Boy and Raven had their first 'lesson' on the roof. They had planned to meet the next day but several things had come up. For one, Raven hadn't finished her homework. She stared at a blank page in Beast Boy's old, forest green notebook for two hours before she figured it was useless. The girl knew what she liked, but she didn't want anyone else to know, especially Beast Boy. Raven had the reputation for being creepy and quite frankly, her interests didn't fit that bill. If her friends found out the things she enjoyed, she would never hear the end of it. The other reason that the two hadn't been able to find time to have these lessons was because of the constant bank robberies and criminals. Nothing serious, but the constant interruptions proved to be quite irritating. But once the rain picked up again, crimes lessened, the amateur robbers seeking shelter as oppose to trouble.

Four Titans sat in the common room lazily sprawled out over the large couch. Rain spattered the big windows and thunder cracked through the dark purple clouds every few seconds. Robin and Cyborg played videogames as Starfire played with strands of her long red hair knotting them into tiny braids. Raven sat a little further away from the three with the notebook in her lap, tapping a pen on it debating over what to list, trying to make an effort for her friend. Thinking of Beast Boy, she realized she hadn't seen him today. It was already sometime past four and he hadn't come out into the common room at all. "Where is friend Beast Boy?" Starfire asked as if reading Raven's mind. Raven looked over at the princess, half her head was covered in tiny braids.

"I don't know." Robin responded, trying not to lose focus in the racing game he was currently winning in.

"Maybe he has taken ill." The red haired alien pondered sadly. "I hope he is alright."

"Why don't you go check on him?" Cyborg said equally distracted by the game. Starfire got up from her seat and walked out of the room down the hall in search of the green changeling. Cyborg managed to slam his car into the back of Robin's causing it to spin out of control, gaining the lead, and winning the race. "Hah! Booyah!" He shouted as he stood up and tossed the controller down onto the couch. Robin slouched down in his seat, crossing his arms over his chest annoyed by his friend's boasting.

"Friend Beast Boy is not in his room!" Starfire announced over Cyborg's cheers. A look of worry was plastered on her face. Cyborg stopped his cheering and stared at the girl.

"Did he leave a note?"

"Oh yes, on his door!" The girl remembered as she flew back out of the room quickly to retrieve the note. Once back she cleared her throat and began to read it aloud. "I went out, I will be back later."

"He's probably fine then." Cyborg said, knowing his friend was most likely out shopping or something. After Beast Boy's whereabouts were somewhat discovered boredom crept over the teenagers again. "Ugh, I'm so tired of being here!" Cyborg complained in a tone not unlike his green friend.

"Well, the rain's still coming down bad." Robin said observing the blurred skyline; no criminal would be that stupid to attempt something today, maybe they needed a break from sitting around. "Do you guys want to see a movie?" Starfire's bright green eyes lit up as she clapped happily.

"Yes! That sounds terrific!"

"Yeah, and we could grab something to eat after." Cyborg added. The other two teens nodded in agreement and then stared down at Raven who was currently the only one still sitting on the couch. "Do you wanna come?" He asked knowing her answer before she even spoke.

"No thanks." She said as she pulled her hood over her violet hair. The three other Titans looked at her sadly, wanting her to spend time with them. Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire sighed in unison and walked over to the elevator.

"We shall bring you dinner friend Raven." Starfire whispered as she followed after her friends. Raven watched as they disappeared into the elevator and down to the garage. The girl got up from her seat and walked into her bedroom. She chose a book from her bookshelf and grabbed her CD case from her dresser. Swiftly Raven glided down the hallway and into the common room. It had been months since she had the tower completely to herself for hours at a time and she was going to enjoy it. Slowly, savoring the moment, Raven pulled a CD out of the case and walked over to the large stereo system. She placed it in the slot delicately and turned the volume up. Sweet melodious music flooded through the room. A small smile graced her lips as she glided over to the couch and sat down. Raven loved listening to her music through the nice speakers of the common room's stereo. Very rarely did she get the chance. She didn't own her own so she always had to settle with the headphones that accompanied her CD player which always made the music sound fuzzy. Raven didn't dare play her music when her friends were around, she would be embarrassed if they found out the kind she listened to. The girl cracked her book open and, rather then beginning from where she last left off, opted to start from the first page fully enjoying the time she had alone.

Beast Boy walked through the front door of the tower, soaking wet. His shaggy green hair was clinging to him, as were his civilian clothes. The black backpack he had slung over his shoulder was drenched as well. The umbrella he took with him did little to protect him from the vicious downpour. Shaking it out over the mat he placed it in the closet with the various other oddities and made his way further into the tower. Beast Boy stopped in his tracks, however, when he heard music coming from the common room. He had heard the song before but it was nevertheless foreign to him. Slowly he made his way into the common room where he saw something he didn't believe. Raven was sitting on the couch, with her hood down, reading a book and listening to the music. Enjoying it. It was her music. Out of everyone he knew, he never thought that Raven would be the one listening to such soft, sweet music. Beast Boy crept into the room, trying not to make any sound. He watched the back of Raven's head nod in time with the rhythm of the music as she read the pages of her book, her delicate pale fingers turning the page every so often. The young changeling felt a pang in his chest as he watched her enjoying herself. He had rarely seen her so at peace, even when she meditated she never looked this relaxed. Beast Boy noticed how she gave herself over to the relaxing tones of the music, mixing with the soft pattering of rain, so completely. 'This must be rare.' He thought now fully engrossed in watching the girl read. Soon the song faded and the CD began to play a much softer song. Beast Boy didn't want to disturb her, so slowly he began to back out of the room. He was almost out when the heel of his sneaker got caught in the carpet. The boy let out a gasp as he fell to the floor, landing on his backpack sharply. Raven peeked up from her book, startled by the noise. She turned around and peered over the couch. There she saw Beast Boy on his back.

"What are you doing?" She asked standing up suddenly, placing her hood over her head to shield her blushing face. The green boy grinned stupidly as he picked himself up off the floor.

"I just walked in, I swear!" He said nervously. Raven flew over to the stereo and immediately pushed the 'stop' button. She glared dangerously at Beast Boy.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Well…um..." The boy stuttered. "I'm sorry I scared you Rae." He apologized.

"I wasn't scared." She stated solidly. "Why were you sneaking up on me?"

"I wasn't! I just came in and I heard the music!" Beast Boy looked around the room noticing no one else was around. "Where's everyone?" He questioned in an attempt to divert Raven's attention.

"They left about fifteen minutes ago to see a movie."

'So that's why she's out in the common room listening to her music.' The boy realized. "Oh. Well then that means we can work on some stuff today!" Beast Boy dropped his soaking backpack onto the floor, unzipped it, and began rummaging through the various things inside. "Did you come up with your list?"

"…No." Raven admitted, somewhat ashamed.

"Why not?" He asked as he continued to look through his backpack.

"Because." She muttered concentrating on the storm outside. Beast Boy stopped searching and looked up at the girl, his deep green eyes wrought with confusion.

"Why?" He persisted, slightly frustrated. Raven sighed heavily knowing she'd rather tell him the truth then lie.

"I didn't want to be made fun of." She whispered feeling her face burning. Beast Boy stood up and looked her in the eyes.

"Rae, I wouldn't make fun of you for liking something. I'm trying to help you, remember?" The girl slowly nodded, still unsure of his promise. This seemed to satisfy the boy because he smiled and went back to exploring his bag. Finally, he found what he was looking for. A plastic bag with 'Blockbuster' printed across it was in his hand. "I rented some movies I thought you'd like."

"That took you all day?" Raven asked with an eyebrow raised.

"No, I was doing other stuff too." He replied vaguely. The girl let him keep his secret, but was still curious as to what he was up to. "Here." He handed Raven the bag of movies and she opened it somewhat surprised as to what he rented. She noticed he had a wide selection of movies. There were new titles as well as some old ones she was sure he just picked off the shelf, judging it by the DVD cover or title.

"You rented 'My Fair Lady'?"

"Yeah."

"Have you ever actually seen this movie?"

"Yes…" He lied badly.

"And you thought I would like it?" Raven asked. She had seen the movie years ago when Starfire begged her to partake in bonding. In actuality, she liked the movie. But she had a feeling Beast Boy just picked it up randomly. "How are movies going to help?"

"Why do you keep asking that? Just assume there's a method to my madness." He grinned widely. Raven gave him a look that demanded answers and he sighed. "Fine. I'm trying to help you develop likes, since I had a feeling you wouldn't make the list."

"I told you, I have likes."

"Like what? All you told me about was 'Donnie Darko'."

"Well, when I saw 'My Fair Lady' I thought it was alright." She admitted somewhat begrudgingly.

"See! This is working!"

"I especially liked the part when they discover that the lady is a vampire." Raven said dryly trying to catch Beast Boy in his bluff. His green eyes widened at this statement.

"Oh yeah, that's a good part." He muttered somewhat unsure. Raven tried her hardest to not laugh at him. "Well, I'm gonna change into dry clothes. Be right back." Once he was out of the room the girl let out a soft giggle. She looked at some of the other movies he chose. Some of them she had seen before and others she hadn't even heard of. Deeming them acceptable she put the bag back in the bag and placed it back in the backpack. She was about to zip it up when something caught her eye. Inside the backpack were books! Actual books! She pulled one out and stared down at the cover.

"'The Bell Jar'?" She read the title aloud in amazement. It took her a while to understand why he was reading it. This was the book he saw her reading at the New Year's Eve party. Raven opened the book noting that there was a library card holding his place in the book. She smiled feeling somewhat touched seeing that he was taking the initiative to learn more about her. The girl heard the doors open and she quickly shoved the book back into the backpack not having time to look at any of the other books. Beast Boy was in regular clothes again, making the uniform clad girl feel out of place. She shrugged off the awkward feeling and took the DVD out of the case and popped it into the player. The two sat down on opposite ends of the long couch and watched the FBI warning appear on the screen.

"Hey Raven?" Beast Boy asked interrupting the silence.

"What?"

"What were you listening to before?" Raven felt the blush creeping up her neck again.

"Julie London." She muttered, her violet eyes focusing on the television screen.

"Oh. You should write that down then." The girl was slightly surprised to hear no jokes or snide comments.

"Why?"

"Well, you wouldn't be listening to her if you didn't like it, right?"

"I guess." Raven said as she grabbed the notebook from where she left it on the sofa and jotted down the jazz singer's name. The room was filled with sound as the movie began to play. Raven remembered just how much she actually liked the film and wrote down the name. Feeling more confident in the things she liked, the girl began writing down more and more things, touching on her favorite books to her favorite colors. Beast Boy stole a few glances at Raven and grinned. He was happy to see that she was slowly warming up to the list idea.

As the movie progressed, Beast Boy actually found himself interested in the film. Even laughing out loud quite a few times. When the credits began to roll he was somewhat upset that it was over. "Did you like it?" Raven asked curiously.

"It was good. But I thought you said that Eliza was a vampire?"

"I thought you said you saw the movie?" Beast Boy grinned sheepishly, a pink blush covering his green face. Raven smiled slightly, hiding it under her hood. She turned her attention back to the television and the two Titans sat and watched the credits, neither recognizing how easily life imitates art.
