Hey guys, it's me. I was just letting you guys know that pretty soon I'm going to be posting another story named "Sara's Story". It follows the plotline for this story, but it gives a little background information on Sara and Max relationship when they were growing up. I'll add the chapters when I think it's necessary for you to understand, and I hope you guys like the inside look on their previous personalities.
Anyways, Enjoy! ^.^

The Titans were hanging out together in the den, one fateful day.
"Eat metal pain!"
Beast Boy and Sara were playing video games on the couch - and Sara was winning.
"WINNER!" the TV echoed. Sara laughed and did her own "victory dance", whilst Beast Boy crossed his arms over his chest and pouted. "Man, you cheated!"
"Did not!" Sara said, smiling to the fullest.
Cyborg was in the kitchen, but now walked to them holding a frying pan. "You sure know your way around robot combat."
"Thank you," Sara smiled.
Starfire came in holding up a flyer. "We have received an invitation saying we shall dance!"
"What?" Robin asked, getting up from his seat in the kitchen.
"A colorful sliver of a tree came into the Tower's box of mail, stating we are welcomed to attend the dance of us!" She held up the pink paper in her hands and Robin read it.
"'Titans' Dance'. They're holding a ball this Saturday in the City's ballroom." He looked to his fellow Titans. "Apparently it's in our honor."
"Sweet!" Beast Boy ran to where they were standing. "It'll give me a chance to show everyone my awesome moves!"
Beast Boy started dancing, and they were awesome moves, but not the type that was previously mentioned.
"Uh, Beast Boy?" Robin said.
His feet stopped and looked at him. "Yeah?"
"They didn't mean breakdancing."
"…?"
Once he saw the confused look on Beast Boy's face, Cyborg told him, "They meant ballroom dancing, dude."
"You mean like slow dancing?!" Beast Boy whined.
"Yeah, like that," Robin said.
"But I don't know how to slow dance!" He complained once again when they broke the news to him.
"Here," Sara said, grabbing his hand. She pulled him to the middle of the living room and moved the coffee table out of the way. "Do this." She put his hands around her navel and held up his other hand with hers. She rested her hand on his shoulder and said, "Now, you just move your feet."
"Aren't they in steps of three or something?" he tilted his head to the side and asked as serious as he could.
Sara laughed a little before continuing. "Something like that." She told him to move his feet and follow after her. He did so, and improved quicker than she thought he would.
"One… Two… Three… One… Two… Three." Beast Boy mumbled the numbers so he could stay in rhythm.
After a while, he got the hang of things and she let go of his hand, and they parted.
"You were doing really good," she said earnestly.
"Really?" he asked hopefully.
"All that you need to work on is not counting," she smiled at him, trying to pick on him.
Beast Boy's new found confidence was interrupted by Cyborg, who had an epiphany.
"Uh, guys…?" he said. Once he grabbed everyone's attention, he said, "Who's going to tell Raven we're going to a dance Saturday?"
"…"
After he brought up this unsettling obstacle, Starfire smiled at Cyborg, who looked to Robin smiling, who nodded to Beast Boy. Before he noticed, everyone was nodding at each other, and they had him surrounded.
"…!"
Before he got the chance to even think about arguing, he was standing outside Raven's door, not wanting to knock on the door.
But, he did it anyways, and he said sheepishly, "Um… Raven? Can I come in?"
As if to answer him, the door slid open and he saw Raven as she stopped levitating and sat down on her bed. "What?" she asked. "I was in the middle of meditating."
"Um," he tried to figure out how to word what he needed to say. "Well, there was a flyer in the mail, and it wanted us to go to a dance. Saturday…?" he unconsciously scrunched his face as he tried to explain it. He had accidentally said this as a question and tried to search Raven's face for emotion.
"Ok…?" she said questioningly.
"Well, do you wanna go?" he asked.
"… What…?" she asked, taken aback.
"Do you, wanna go? To the dance?" he asked, a little more confident now that he got a reaction out of her.
A light *ker-thunk* echoed in Raven's chest.
"It's on Saturday…" he told her reassuringly.
"This, Saturday?" Raven asked. Once he nodded, she debated to herself, but sighed afterwards. "Ok," she said. "I'll be there."
Beast Boy's face brightened as soon as she agreed. "Great!" he said, smiling widely, before he left her room with a spring in his step.
When the door shut, Raven could hear him yell down the hall, "Hey guys, she said yes!"
Starfire's cheery squeal echoed in the Tower and another knock soon fell on Raven's door.
She got up to open it this time - which she would soon regret.
She was soon blindsided by a red blur, and her face was covered in a soft wave of warmth.
"Starfire, you're crushing me." Raven tried to wiggle out of the hold her friend had on her.
"Forgive me friend!" She said - not intending to let go. "I am just so glad you have decided to accompany us to the dance of Titans!"
"Yeah yeah," Raven peeled her off of her and brushed off her cloak.
"We must go to the mall of shopping!"
"What?"
Stopping her from pressing any further, Star grabbed Raven's hand and pulled her out of her room.
The boys (and Sara) were in the living room talking to each other.
"Man, I can't believe she said she'll go," Cyborg said.
Robin said, "I guess it only took Beast Boy."
"Heh," he scoffed, sounding cocky. He ran his fingers through his hair and said confidently, "Only the best of the best."
"Yeah, that's it," Sara said sarcastically.
"So," Beast Boy leaned towards her, "Why did you leave your hometown?"
"…"
When she looked at the three of them, they all had curiosity plastered on either their eyes or face. She smiled meekly and said, "Let's just say I'm not on good terms with some of the people there."
She knew this topic was going to come back, but still she left it at that. And so did the guys when they decided to leave the conversation at that - not wanting to pry any further.
For reasons they did not know, Starfire came barreling into the room with an annoyed Raven dragging behind her. Before anyone got the chance to ask her what was happening, Star grabbed Sara by the wrist with her free hand and tugged on her.
"Wah!"
She stumbled as she tried to regain her footing.
Star turned to the group and smiled brightly as she said, "We will depart to the mall of shopping and return before our midday feast!"
"What?" Robin's eyes went wide at her statement.
"It would be best if you all chose suits from monkeys as well."
"You want us to buy tuxes?!" Cyborg's eyes widen when he heard that statement.
"Yes!"
"W-Wait-!"
No one could get their two cents in, because by then Starfire had already dragged Raven and Sara out of the Tower.
"…"
As the boys stood there and exchanged looks, Beast Boy said, "I've got a bad feeling about this…"
