Chapter Seven- First Date

Garfield stands at the front of the local high school where his friend and crush attends in the daytime and he stand waiting with a bouquet of flowers, as he plans on asking the red headed girl out on a date tonight. 'I hope she says yes.' He thinks as he waits for the bell to ring and sits on the hood of his car with the flowers on the driver seat. 'I also hope she likes the flowers.'

The blond male is pulled away from his thoughts as he hears the school's bell ring and looks up to hopefully catch the girl as she leaves the school.

The red hair breezing in the wind and his eyes caught the soft smile on the girl's face that made him smile before his smile retreated from his face as hot notices that his crush is talking to someone and that someone was none other than his once crush Terra.

"Terra." Garfield mumbles to himself as he watches the two high school girls walk closer and closer to the side walk across the street from him before his eyes lock with his crush's and she waves at him, which makes some of the students to look at them.

"Hey, Garfield." Barbra greets with a kind smile. "First off just a series of questions. What's with the car? What's with the flowers? And what are you doing here?" She questions her blond crush who gets off of his hood and returns his attention to her. 'Why was Gar looking at Terra? Do they know each other?' She asks herself as she gets jealous.

"Hey, Babs." Garfield greets in return as his heart soars as his eyes take in the Gotham girl's beauty. "To answer your questions, the car is mine. The flowers are for you, Barbra. And I came to surprise you and hopefully you will do me the honors of accompany me on a date tonight?" He asks with a charming smile which makes the red head's heart skip a beat. 'Please say YES!' He mentally begs.

Terra looks between the two and feels slightly bad to be intruding of the two's moment. "I think I'll just go now and leave you two alone." She teases with a giggle that makes both of the teens in front of her blush.

"I-I...I'd love to, Gar." Barbra replies with a joyful teary smile as she accepts the flowers and kisses the young man's cheek. "What do you have in mind?" She asks as they fail to see that all of the students had stopped their lives and watch them with interest.

"He's asking out that Gotham trash?" Garfield hears a girl say.

"She isn't that bad." Another voice replies that he remembers from the girl who helped him get his new suit. "In fact when he came to the store the other day he had said nothing but great things about her."

"That cutie should be with one of us." The original voice said and the disguised Titan has to physically stop himself from tear that girl to shreds with his claws.

"Well I was thinking of going on a dinner picnic, there is this area I know and it would be perfect to watch the stars… with you." Garfield answers and smiles while he looks at the red head to see what she would say.

"I'd like that." Barbra responds as she tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. "Are you just going to pick me up in a few hours? Or would you like to wait with me at my house?" She inquires from the blond male before her.

"I was actually thinking that we should start the date later on and I can drop you off and you can change your clothes while I make a quick trip make home to make sure Elina will be alright with Kori tonight." Garfield explains as he takes a quick look at the semi short plaid schoolgirl skirt. "Not that I'd mind you wearing those, but I'm sure you would want to change clothes."

Barbra follows his eyes and blushes at the length of her school uniform shows her legs off. "That would probably be for the best; I don't think you'd be able to think if I wore this."

"That's not true." Garfield objects as he holds the car door open for the red head. "I would be able to think... some."

"Uh huh, sure you would." Barbra giggles as she gets in the car and her embarrassed suitor walks over to the drivers and gets in on the driver's side and once they were situated they drive to the Gordon house so that she could get ready as headed back to the tower so he could get ready and prepare everything for tonight.

After her date dropped her off she had to use all of her will not to run inside and scream to the heavens about her date, but all of that became more difficult after she got inside her house. She quickly closes the door behind her and swiftly went to go find her mother to tell her about her day. "Mom, you won't believe what just happened!" Barbra excitedly tells her mother.

"What is it, Barbra?" Barbra Kean asks her daughter.

"Gar, asked me out today!" Barbra practically screams at her mother as she is thankful that the changeling left to ready himself before he picks her back up, or he would have heard her squealing. "He even gave me flowers!"

"Oh my!" Barbra Kean beams at her daughter. "I hope you told that nice young man yes?"

"Of course I did!" Barbra replies with stars in her eyes. "We're going out on a picnic for dinner tonight." She informs her mother about her date.

"Oh and here I thought that romance was dead to teenagers these days and here I thought that all you did was go to parties and have and have sex before marriage." Barbra-Kean comments not realizing what she said until she saw the deep crimson blush that her daughter wore on her face. "Oh no little lady! Don't even think about it; you are not allowed to have sex with him period and I am going to make sure I put that in your boyfriends head and you won't be leaving this evening until he gives his word on that subject matter!"

"Mother!" Barbra shouts in shock at her mother. "Gar and I have no thoughts about having sex! This is our first date for Pete's sake!"

"And the blush?" Barbra Kean asks her daughter in distrust.

"You, my mother, just mentioned sex in a way to casual manner for my tastes!" Barbra answers to her mother's mistrust about her and her date. "Have I ever given her a reason not to trust me?"

"I suppose, just when will he be here?" Barbra Kean demands as she starts to feel a little to overprotective of her only child.

"He just went to change his clothes and tell Kori about his plans and tell Elina that she is in charge of her for the night." Barbra informs her mother.

"And just who is this Kori person?" Barbra Kean inquires.

"She is one of the people that Garfield lives with and is like an older sister to him, and is the one that is going to watch Elina while were out on our date tonight" Barbra tells her mother.

"Who does he live with?" Barbra Kean couldn't help but to ask her daughter.

"There's Victor, Kori, Rachael, Elena and of course Dick." Barbra answered with clear displeasure and distaste in saying the last name but she quickly perks back up cause of her date that she had to start to get ready for her date.

/

"You are doing the human dating ritual with Friend Barbra?" Starfire questions with stars in her eyes.

"Yeup! I'm taking her to my secret spot!" Beast Boy answers with a big smile gracing his lips as his fangs shine bright.

"That is so romantic!" Starfire cheers the green Titan. "Friend Barbra will love it!" She adds as they both fail to notice a masked teenager in the shadows lurking in pure anger.

'How dare that green clown date my girl!' Robin thinks in anger before he shakes his head. 'Why did I think that? I dumped her and never even told her about it.'

/

Two hours later Barbra was sitting on the couch as she did random math equations in her head to pass the time and not go insane with the waiting. She was sporting a red skirt that matched her hair and blue t-shirt to match her eyes. "Where is that boy at?" She asks herself as she fiddles with her hair. "Kori is probably asking him allot of questions about tonight or on how to watch, Elina."

Suddenly a knock sounds off at her door and she rush off to answered it before anybody else. The red head opens the door to see the smiling face of the blond boy who made her heart skip several beats. Standing in front of her in black slacks and an untucked dark green dress shirt was her date and to her eyes did he look yummy.

"Hey. Ready for our date?" Garfield questions as he hands her another bouquet of flowers.

"You have no idea." Barbra smiles as she takes and sets the flowers in the vase that her mother placed by the door when she was in the shower. 'Mom really does think of everything.' She thinks to herself before remembering something that they had to do before they went out. "Hey before we go my mom wants to talk to you." She informs her date which causes him to look at her in confusion as he put his right hand on his chin and tilted his head to the side in a way that made him try to figure out why her mother want to talk to him. All the while the Gotham red head couldn't help but think of how adorable he was with his head tilted like a confused little puppy.

"Hello dear I see you look nice this evening." Barbra Kean greets to the young man.

"Thanks Mrs. Gordon. It's nice to see you too." Garfield sheepishly rubs the back of his neck nervously.

"You are most welcome dear, now there is something that I would like to talk to you about before you go out and have some fun." Barbra Kean said with a smile that for some reason made the usually cheerful changeling nervous.

"Okay." Garfield replies nervously.

"Now I know that you are a wonderful young man and you treat my daughter with respect, but I need you to promise me something." Barbra Kean starts

"Okay I assure you have my word Mrs. Gordon and I assure you that i will hopefully not let you down" Garfield defends his character.

"I have no doubt about that, but I want you to be careful with your relationship with my daughter, she has a bright future ahead of her and I want to make sure you know that I want her to go to college before certain things happen between the two of you." Barbra Kean adds with a serious look on her face, but the young man was just confused.

"Okay?" Garfield responds as he wasn't sure where the mother of one was going with this.

"I simply want you to promise me that when you two get to the point when you finally do have sex that you will use protection." Barbra Kean explains as she gives the blond a pointed look. "But sex isn't something that either of you should be having until you are older."

Garfield stands there as he blushes at the woman's words and he calmly she said it before he found his voice. "Y-Y-Ye-es, Mrs. Gordon. If we ever have sex then we will use protection. And not until college or after!"

"That's it, we're leavng!" Barbra yells in embarrassment as she drags her date out of her house. "I'll be back later mom!"

"Bye Mrs. Gordon!" Garfield calls out as he leaves the house with his date.

"Bye baby girl, bye Garfield!" Barbra Kean cries out much to the two teen's embarrassment. "Remember no sex!"

"Get us out of here!" Barbra frantically orders her date as they get into his car." This is so embarrassing!"

"Where is Beast Boy?" Cyborg asks the Tamaranean as she sits on the couch and watches Halloween with the young girl she is in charge with watching. "And should you be allowing her to watch that?"

"He went out on the date with Friend Barbra." Starfire answers with a smile on her lips.

"So the string bean finally asked her out huh, well it's about time." Cyborg responds with a chime in his voice that was only skin deep as he looks at the alien girl knowing that a storm was going to start blowing between the teammates. "I think it is getting kind of late for you little lady." He looks at his best friend's little sister. 'I know Star doesn't see it but I think Rob loves BG.'

"Friend Cyborg is correct, Friend Elena. For I your K'Norfka Starfire will be reading you as the humans call a bedtime story." Starfire tells the young girl whose eyes lit up at the chance to spend some more time with her favorite Aunt Starfire before she went to sleep.

"Cool!" Elena cheers as she feels her body leave the chair as she gets put on the Tamaranean's shoulders as she flies with the red head to her room. "I hope big brother and Babs are having fun on their date!"

"So do I, Friend Elena." Starfire responds as they fail to see Robin standing in the shadows who narrows his eyes.

'That...that...that little punk is on a date with Babs? My Babs!?' Robin screams in his mind after he felt that the young telepath was out of range. 'Who does he think that he is!?' "This isn't over." He lowly growls.

/

"This is amazing." Barbra comments as she looks out at the lights of the city from a bluff that overlooks all of Jump City and even Titan's Tower.

"Yes." Garfield replies as he looks at his date. "Absolutely beautiful."

To which she quickly noticed and blushed realizing that he was talking about her. "So how did you discover this place?" Barbra asks her date

"One day I was having a really bad day and was being ignored by the other Titans and I went out on the town and wasn't fairing any better so I went into the outskirts and that is how I discovered this beautiful sight and I still come her sometimes." Garfield answers as he looks into the skyline.

"That sounds like it was a rough way to end up discovering someplace so beautiful and be by yourself while doing it." Barbra replies with a sad smile.

"Yes but it was worth it, I mean I got to bring my beautiful date here." Garfield comments with a wink.

'He thinks I'm beautiful?' Barbra asks herself as she blushes. 'Not even Dick had ever said that I was beautiful.' "Thank you, Garfield. This has been the best date of my life."

"Really?" Garfield questions as he felt himself blush at his date's words and feels his pride rise. "Then I guess, now would be a good time to ask if you'd be my girlfriend?"

Barbra feels the air catch in her throat, while she did except the blond boy to ask her that question, it still came as quite a surprise when he did ask. "I-I'd love to...that.. to be your girlfriend I mean." She breaths out nervously.

"Barbra Gordon and Garfield Logan. Batgirl and Beast Boy." Garfield jokes which gets a tiny laugh from his girlfriend who found it to be kind of lame.

As her laughter died down they sat in happy bliss as they cuddled and watched the city lights before they had to go back since the Gotham born young woman had a curfew so they happily made their way to his car and with him getting the door for his beautiful girlfriend then closing the door and making his way to the driver's side and getting in himself and started the car and started to make his way to the Gordon family house with a enjoyable ride back to her house. When the two got out of the car and got the door of the house and walked to the door where the two would have to separate; the red head gave her boyfriend a deep and passionate kiss for their good bye.

/

"How was your date, hunny?" Barbra Kean asks her daughter. "Did he kiss you?"

"It was great mom." Barbra softly smiles as she remembers her date earlier. "We got dinner, went to his special spot and we even kissed."

"Anything else happen?" Barbra Kean smiles pointedly at her daughter.

"We decided to start dating and officially become boyfriend and girlfriend." Barbra blushes bright but smiles none the less.

"I'm so excited for you, sweetie." Barbra Kean smiles as she feels that the blond boy would be good for her daughter. "Maybe we can have dinner again, except this time as your boyfriend meeting you parents."

"I think that would be a good idea, mom." Barbra smiles back.

Deciding that the night had been pleasantly busy she decides that she better turn in for the night to get some rest, so telling her mother good night she went to go get ready for bed by heading to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth.

Beast Boy walks into the common room as he just got home from his date with the lovely resident red headed girl and sighs in bliss as he recaps his date with the newest Teen Titan member and bumps into his best friend who was standing with his hands on his hips, a smug look on his face and the Tamaranean flanks him with a huge smile on her face.

"How was the date?" Starfire asks her friend.

"Yeah grass stain. How was the date with B-Girl?" Cyborg questions as they grab the changeling and pull him to the couch as they sit on either sides of him. "Spill."

"Yes do the spilling." Starfire orders the changeling.

"It was awesome." Beast Boy replies with a huge goofy smile. "We got a pizza and we went to my special spot."

"That's a serious thing, B. You haven't even told me where that spot it." Cyborg comments as he pats his friend on the back. "You haven't told any of us."

"Um... that's not true." Beast Boy uncomfortably squirms in his seat. "Star, knows where it is. I told her all about it for whenever Rob starts being a major dick."

"Oh really now." Said Cyborg as he looks at the sad expression on the Tamaranean's face but quickly decides to continue with the teasing to cheer her up

"So string bean did you kiss her?" Cyborg bluntly asks which got the reaction that he was hoping for, with a blushing green face whose face was all red and was stuttering and choking on his very words

"Yes! Do tell, Friend!" Starfire adds as her mood sky rockets. "Did you do the kissing?"

"Yes! Wekissedandwearedating!" Beast Boy rushes his words but his friends understood anyways.

"Alllrright, BB!" Cyborg cheers his best friend. "That's my boy!"

"This is so exciting! You and Friend Barbra are doing the human dating ritual!" Starfire exclaims in pure delight as she couldn't help but float just a tiny bit higher.

"Hey Star, how was Elena tonight?" Beat Boy questions the Tamaranean in hopes of getting the attention off of him. 'Please take the bait!'

"It was marvelous! We watched a movie and did the girl talk and then she went to bed!" Starfire informs as she starts to go into great detail of her night with the small blond.

Beast boy just smiles and listened intently as the Tamaranean goes on and on about her night with Elena with glee "It sounds like you have had a wonderful night with Elena."

Starfire eagerly nods her head in agreement before allowing herself give out a big yawn; which the changeling gave a small smile and suggests that they all go to bed for the night; which the other two quickly agreed to, and they went out of the commons room to head to their individual bed rooms for the night.

A little while later after Barbra had gone to bed her father finally came home from work and was greeted at the door way by the sight of his wife humming a merrily tune

"What's got you in such a good mood tonight honey" Jim asks his wife.

"Oh dear, our little girl got herself a boyfriend." Barbra Kean cheerfully tells her husband. "
Mrs. Garfield Logan, I can hear it now!"

"Alright." Jim grunts as he removes his coat and takes a seat at the dinner table as his wife places a plate of dinner before him. "Thanks." He tells his wife before he picks up his fork and nearly drops it in shock as the words finally seeped into his mind. "What did you just say?"

"Which part?" Barbra Kean smirks knowingly. "Boyfriend part or Mrs. Garfield Logan part?"

Mr. Gordon just looks at his wife and stands up while knocking his chair over. "Both!" He exclaims as his fatherly instincts starts to take over, but his wife simply sent him a signal to be silent and picks up the chair and sits him down. "Explain."

"Garfield went to Bab's school and asked her out today." Barbra Kean smiles at her husband who tightens his grip on his silverware. "They went out to dinner and got some pizza, they also went to a very secret spot that only Garfield knows about." She stops and smiles teasingly at her husband. "And let's not forget the best part. They are dating now."

"Jeez don't you think they are moving too quickly Barb I mean how much do we really know about him besides all the stuff he has told us? I mean Babs hasn't even known him for a few months now?" Jim asks his wife.

"No. I Am sure that he is a good boy and I love how he and Babs have connected together so quickly it just shows how much they like each other and how much they have in common, besides Babs has learned how to be a better judge of character after what happened with Dick" Barbra Kean replies.

The police officer grimaces at the mention of the boy who broke his daughter's heart, but he always vowed not to judge any possible of his daughter's boyfriends with a clean slate... well he always tries to. "I will give him a chance... but I want to meet his parents."

"I think that can happen. He is only babysitting his little sister after all." Barbra Kean smiles at her husband.

"And that has been months." Gordon frowns at the thinks about everything being a lie and those two were actually nothing else but common orphans. "I can wait until they return." He tells his wife. 'I might need to check this boy out.'
