A/N: For an idea of what Raven's costume looks like go on my dA account. Link provided on profile.


Two weeks Kida had been working on her product.
Two whole weeks- honest to Edna. And it was now completed. She hoped Raven liked it. Right now the costume prototype was in her backpack folded neatly and wrapped in sugar paper.
"If she doesn't like it I can wear it to the halloween party..." she mused.

Right now Kida was waiting for a certain empath friend at the mall outside of waterstones. It appeared that- if she wasn't shopping with Starfire- that Raven could actually tolerate going to the mall, and sometimes even enjoy it. Kida looked around her once again before looking at her clock. Raven was late. Weird. The girl was always right on time. "Maybe there was some trouble..."

-

"Friends, where are we going?" Starfire inquired. A simple girls day out at the mall began with Raven dragging her and Terra-mostly her- through the throng of people. Raven insisted that they dressed like civilians on that day.
"I'm meeting someone." Raven said snappily. "Can you guys hurry up? I'm late."
"I would but if I ran in this skirt the world would see my underwear." Terra mentioned.
"Then you should have worn shorts like me and Star." Raven said impatiantly. Apparently they reached their destination because Raven let go of their arms and apologized to the girl outside of the bookshop.

-

"Sorry Kida. Caught up a bit."
"That's alright... it's only been five minutes since I got here anyway."
"Liar."
"eh..."

-

"Guys. Kida. Kida- Terra and Star."
"So we came to meet your friend Raven?" Terra asked.
"We're taking her to the tower. She wanted to make something for me."
"Is is a garment of sisterhood?" Starfire piped in, "Back on Tamaran when we meet a fellow female whom we become great friends and we-"
"No Starfire. You'll see once we go to the Tower."
"Will we be initiating 'girl time'?"
"Yes Star. We'll be having 'girl time in your room." Raven sighed as the alien princess' eyes lit up. How long had it been since their last 'girl time?
"... Shouldn't we get pig-out-able stuff while we're here then?" Terra suggested. "It's around this time of day when B and Cy search the cupboards for things to devour."
"Rendering the rest of you hungry right?"
"Yeah."

-

"I am gonna beat you!"
"Keep trying grass stain- you can't beat the master." The metal man and the changeling were playing their racing game- again- when the girls entered the room. Surrounding Cyborg was a heap of potato chip packets and in between he and Beastboy there were various random candy wrappers and soda cans, not to mention a few melted marshmallows.
"We are too late." Terra hissed. "I told you we should've got pig-out stuff."
"Friends, do not worry, I shall prepare us the 'pig-out stuff'." Starfire offered causing Raven to shudder. Terra high-fived the alien girl and Starfire went on her way. The blonde was the only habitant of Earth that Raven knew could stomach the Tamerainian's cooking- to her it was too wobbly, jiggly, gross, disgusting, and of course drowned in mustard.
"Well, ladies, let's get going..."

-

Raven stared at the bundle Kida handed her. It felt light and was wrapped up in dark blue sugar paper- tied with a ribbon and everything. Her fellow female Titans stared at it with intensity and Kida looked nervous.
"Open it already..." she begged, "The tension is killing me!" Slowly Raven unwrapped the bundle and held up the cloth. Her left eyebrow twitched slightly and her face turned pink.
"You cannot be serious." She said. Kida sighed.
"I knew it would come to this... Star- hold her down!" Starfire willingly obliged and held Raven down while Kida stripped her and placed the costume proto-type on her. Terra watched as she ate something that looked like a hot dog covered in blue fuzz...

She was actually surprised that Raven hadn't just teleported out of there... clearly that would've been the smart thing to do. After about ten minutes Starfire and Kida pulled Raven up in the new costume. Terra's mouth swung open in disbelief.
"You are making me a costume." She simply said to Kida. Raven smirked- it must be good then.
"Friend- you look most wonderful in this new costume." Starfire beamed as Kida blushed, her hard work appreciated. Raven gained confidance with her attire.
"Do I get to look at myself yet?"
"There'll be plenty of time to do that later. Right now we unveil you- Right girls?" Kida asked. Terra and Starfire nodded in agreement. It seemed Raven didn't have a choice in the matter at all. The empath sighed and followed the three girls out of the room towards the main room of the Tower- the halls were void of mirrors so she couldn't even get a glimpse of herself on the way to being judged be the boys.

-

In the middle of the race on their videogame, the TV screen blanked out. Beastboy and Cyborg practically burst into tears because they were in about to get a photo finish result-which was the tie-breaker of the day.
"What the hell!?" The changeling sobbed as he punched the couch cushion repeatedly. Robin looked up from his papers, the commotion disturbing him from obsessively looking for clues on whatever criminal had been behind the latest attack on Jump City. It took a while for the boys to register that the plug had been pulled. And when they did they were surprised to find Terra swinging the plug as though it was a yo-yo.
"Yo." She said.
"Terra! What the Hell! I was just about to beat Grass-stain over here for the 50th day in a row this year!" Cyborg complained.
"That would be my fault." Raven said from the doorway. Starfire and Kida stood by her side, each holding an arm preventing her from chickening out and running away, either out of embarrassment or annoyance. The boys turned to give Raven the 'what are you on?' look, were they surprised.

Robin couldn't stop gawking. He couldn't believe Raven would dress like that- and he got an idea fo a new costume. The red and green did make him look like a Christmas decoration... and well, Robin just associated him more with the winter season as the robins were the few birds that stayed behind over Christmas. He needed something new.

Cyborg on the other hand went livid. As the oldest of the Titans, he felt like an older brother to them. More so to Raven as she helped rebuild the T-car, was the shortest and the youngest of the girls. The protective older brother inside of him wanted to tell Raven to go back to her room and change before he posted sleeping pictures of her on the internet or something. To tell her that the costume was way to revealing and that he'd kick her butt for wearing it.

Beastboy was speechless. Raven looked hawt. Not hot. Hawt. He knew she had a great figure- he'd slept in the same bed as her and of course- her regular costume was like a second skin. It looked as though the costume she was wearing now was painted on. And he loved it. He could see everthing that Raven normally covered with her cape.

"Wow." Beastboy whispered. Terra watched his expression as he stared at his girlfriend. No matter what she had said to him previously- she wished that it was her that he was undressing with his mind. Yet she didn't want to split them like that. Raven and Beastboy obviously liked each other-maybe bordering on loving each other. She'd be a bitch if she broke them up over a one night stand.

-

"Can I look at myself now?" Raven asked Kida. The platinum haired girl nodded feverishly, the costume had gotten a fabulous reaction from the male Titans-especailly on Beastboy. Her work was done. Starfire brought Raven towards the closest full length mirror. The empath didn't know who was more shocked- her or her reflection.

She was wearing something like a catsuit in a deep nay blue. Accenting her small waist, generous hips and obvious cleavage was a silver belt, much like the one Beastboy wore. On the chest was a silver symbol of a rising bird- she guessed a ploy on her name- it looked like the tatoo on her back that Kida jokingly called a 'tramp stamp'. Her cape was still there- Thank Azar- but it was much shorter- ending just below her waist. The long sleeves were covered with onyx armwarmers that covered the majority of her hands- leaving her fingers visible. The wrists had a colbalt blue cuff, to match the cape and the trimming of the soft boots that reached her mid thigh. Kida looked at her hopefully from over her shoulder.

"And...?" The girl asked. The surrounding Titan's all craned foreward to hear what Raven would say.
"I like it." The empath stated; Kida and Starfire whooped for joy and Kida pulled Cyborg into a little victory dance.
The Siren sounded and the Titans all perked up.
"Looks like there's trouble." Robin stated. "Titans!" The six superheroes headed for the nearest way to the City. Kida stayed behind and watched them in awe. Seeing as she couldn't make it across the lake that surrounded the T-Tower's island and there were no boats, she decided to play on the gamestation. Smashing all top scores set before her.
Maybe Beastboy and Cyborg weren't as avid gamers as they claimed to be as they'd been beaten by two girls who previously never played the gamestation before... then agian... maybe Kida and Terra were lucky beginners.
