Pixie: So, um...we didn't update because... er... We didn't have a reason! Don't hate us!

CP: No, they could never hate us! They love us! Right?

Pixie: Yes well, they might hate us anyway for ending this story like this...

CP: Well, maybe.

CP and Pixie: BTW go read Phoenix's Flame by our friend SmileySalami!

Jade POV

I listened to the dance music that Bumblebee was playing. It wasn't what I would have picked, but I'm glad she had stopped Raven from playing her classical music.

I glanced at Speedy, who was at the food table. I rolled my eyes. The guy had such a big appetite... And who likes fish tacos?

I looked over at Jinx, who was dancing with Kid Flash. I winced slightly. The speedsters suit was almost blindingly blight. But Jinx wasn't looking at that. She was looking at the window sill, where the biggest problem of the evening was perched, looking at her fingernails.

I restrained a sigh. What would Rose want? How long was she going to stay there? I mean, I hope she was going to stay there. If Ravager came to talk to me, the Titans would attack her on sight, not to mention start to suspect me. The only people in the building who knew I was Cheshire were Jinx, Speedy, and myself.

Well actually, I think there might be one person who suspects me. He's this mute kid with curly blonde hair, and green eyes. He's been dancing with Kole this entire time, speaking in sign language. He looks really familiar. Something about his eyes I think.

Suddenly, Jinx started gesturing wildly to me. She mouthed the word, "Rose!" I glanced up.

Dang it.

Rose had apparently gotten tired of waiting, and had jumped from the window sill and was creeping down the hallway. I was suddenly eternally grateful that Slade had trained her to be sneakier than a ninja.

Just at that moment, Speedy came back from the food table. Curse his horrible timing.

He set down his food. "Hey. Let's-"

"Bye!" I said quickly. "I mean-I'll be right back!" I got up, but before I left, I mussed up his hair. I ran away, inwardly cackling.

I grabbed Jinx, and started her pulling her away as she said, "Sorry Kid Idiot. Be right back." We both ran down the hallway, looking for Rose.

"What the heck Rose." Jinx muttered to herself. "Tonight of all nights."

I silently agreed. I spoke to Rose almost every day, so why did she have to choose now to come and see me?We finally found her, in the gym. She looked completely calm and collected. Or she would to anyone but Jinx and I. We know her better than that. She was playing with her hair which she does when she is nervous. (Pixie A/N I do this ALL the time. CP A/N Yes she does.)

We both walked over to her, ready to give her a hard time for making us sneak around. I opened my mouth, but Jinx beat me to it.

"Oh Zinthos help me!" She said loudly. "Why? Tonight of all nights? When almost all of the Titans are here?"

Rose just looked at her, kind of amused. " Good to see you too Lucky." Jinx scowled and muttered something along the lines of, "I hate that freaking nick name."

"Seriously though, Rose." I said. "What was so important you had to come into a building chock full of people who are out to get you. Or at least your father?"

Rose raised her eyebrow. Okay, well I know that was hypocritical. I am one of the world's most wanted criminals, and so is my father.

"Trust Jade-Gem, it's important." she assured, making me scowl. She had nick names for all of her friends. It just so happens we all hate those nicknames. Jinx was Lucky, I was Jade-Gem, Angie was Feathers, Katey was Ice Queen, Kat was Pink Princess, and Artemis was Goddess-Girl.

"Alright what is it?" I asked. Rose opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly we heard footsteps. Jinx and I looked at each other.

"Go!" we whisper shouted at Rose. She shrugged and started walking very slowly to the door. Jinx and I both sighed, and started pushing her towards a closet.

I opened the door as Jinx shoved her in. "Go now, be a good girl and stay." she instructed.

"Hey!" Rose protested, but we had already shut the door. Just in the nick of time. Kid Flash, Robin, and Speedy walked in at that moment.

Jinx and I both pretended like we were talking the whole time. It was something we had perfected back at the HIVE.

"Mm hm, and then what?" I asked.

"Well," Jinx said. " Then, Raven walks in right? So-"

"Hem hem." Speedy faked coughed. "Not to interrupt your girl talk, but what was with the whole dash out of the room thing? And the mess up my hair thing?" I held back a laugh there, disguising it as a cough.

"Yeah, you kind of took away my dance partner." Kid Flash added.

"Are you guys alright?" Robin asked. "Did you see something? I inwardly rolled my eyes. Always Mister Paranoid. Probably wondering I Slade was involved in this Well, ironically, he actually kind of was.

"It's nothing! We're fine." Jinx said. The three boys all looked skeptical.

"Uh huh." I said. "Just er, girl talk." I gave Speedy a "tell you later" look. He gave me his, "Cheshire stuff?" look, and I gave him my, "more or less" look.

I noticed everybody was looking at us strangely.

"What?" I asked.

"Did you- did you just have a silent conversation?" Kid Flash asked. " I hate it when Robin and Star do that. Makes me feel like there's something I don't know."

Jinx and I both stifled laughs there. What Kid Flash didn't know could fill a book. (Pixie A/N That's a HP reference.)

"So are you ready to go back?" Robin asked. Jinx and I exchanged wary looks. Hopefully Rose would know she could get out of the closet.

"Yup, let's go." Jinx said.

As the three boys led us to the dance floor, I realized we weren't the only ones having a stressful night. It looked like Beast Boy was going to wear through that rug from pacing. I saw Cyborg go over to him and ask something, with Beast Boy replying, his eyes on the very carpet he was killing. Cyborg seem shocked for a few seconds. Beast Boy actually poked him. After that, Cyborg said something, and patted Beast Boy and the shoulder. Beast Boy brightened, and started walking cautiously over to Raven.

My jaw dropped. Was he doing what I think he was doing? Sure enough, he approached the reading girl, and carefully tapped her shoulder. She looked up and nodded. Beast Boy rubbed the back of his neck, then proceeded to ask her something. She seemed to consider it for a moment, then nodded and took his hand.

Everybody in the room seemed to faint as he led her onto the dance floor.

"I am seeing it, but I am not believing it." Jinx muttered as the two started dancing. I nodded in agreement.

"Couldn't say I didn't see it coming." Robin said, and flashed a grin. "Just a second, I need to go collect some money from Aqualad."

Beast Boy POV

I paced the floor nervously, going over my plan in my mind. I couldn't do it. Well, maybe I could. No! I couldn't. Cyborg walked over, noticing my anxiety.

"Dude, you are killing the carpet." He observed. "What's up?"

I turned my eyes to the floor. I guess I could tell him. He was my best friend after all. "I want to ask Raven to dance." I answered quietly.

Cyborg seemed to freeze. Like literally malfunction. I poked him warily. "Cy?"

"What?" he asked, coming back to life. "Oh yeah. You know, I think you should go for it." he said and patted me on the shoulder.

I looked up hopefully. If Cyborg thought I could do it, then maybe I could. I walked slowly up to Raven, who was sitting near the counter, reading.

I walked up next to her, and cautiously tapped her shoulder. She looked up and nodded. "Yeah, what do you want."

I felt myself shrink inside. Maybe I shouldn't do it. Okay deep breath, I could ask her. I rubbed the back of my neck, a little embarrassed.

"Um.. do you want to... to dance?" I asked. She looked at me for a few seconds. I think I saw disbelief on her face. I was about to turn away, but she nodded and took my hand. I led her onto the dance floor, tempted to pinch myself.

I saw everyone in the room gasp, and even saw a few exchange money, like they were betting on this. I didn't really care at the moment. I had actually asked her.

Bee POV

I watched, shocked as Beast Boy and Raven danced. Beast Boy and Raven! Of all people! I shook my head.

Suddenly, something else caught my attention. Three somethings in fact.

Mas y Menos and Melvin.

The twins were talking to her rapidly in Spanish. To my shock, she was responding. She spoke falteringly, but it was Spanish all the same. Aqualad noticed me looking at them.

"She's been taking Spanish lessons from them." he informed me.

"Really?" I asked. "When?"

"Whenever you go to the mall, they zoom over to the monk's monastery and take her back to the Tower."

"Best way to woo a girl." I chuckled slightly. "Teach her Spanish."

I watched as the twins both shyly gave her flowers, which she responded to with a hug.

"Awww..." I said softly to myself, before going to find Cyborg.

Jade POV

Titans slowly started joining Beast Boy and Raven on the dance floor. To my surprise, the Mas y Menos and Melvin were part of those Titans.

It was kind of cute actually.

Jinx and Kid Flash were dancing together, the curly haired kid and Kole, Argent and Hotspot, and Robin and Starfire.

Speedy grabbed my hand, and led me onto the dance floor. "You're going to tell me what really happened later though okay?" he asked.

I smiled slyly. "I don't know. Maybe. If you let me mess up your hair."

He shook his head. "No deal."

I rolled my eyes. Suddenly I saw Rose emerge from the hallway, glaring at me and Jinx. She caught my eye and mouthed the words, "Why didn't you tell me I could come out?"

I shrugged, and she sighed. Then she noticed Starfire and Robin coming her way and vanished in the shadows. I would have to see what she wanted later. But not now.

I watched as all the Titans filed out the door. I glanced at Jinx. Now would be a perfect time to find Rose and see what she wanted.

She nodded, knowing what I was thinking, and we pulled away from the group. They didn't even notice, in the rush of people exiting.

We found her in the garage, leaning against the tool bench, playing with her hair.

"Rose." I said. "What do you need?"

She looked at me, and I saw regret and fear, along with a little hope in her eyes. That was Rose. She let her guard down, not showing the tough personality she usually does.

Then Ravager was back.

"My father has a job for you."

AAANNNND DONE! Yup, cliffhanger. We will probably have a equal though. Buuut... It probably won't be for a while. The outfits are in the cover pic.

Okay, so I just went back and read this, and I saw a WHOLE bunch of typos and mistakes. Sorry about that. Also that part a chapter or so back were it says *Insert outfit here* with Beast Boy. When CP and I were typing back and forth, we put little things like that to tell eachother to put in description here. I guess I forgot that one...Oops. So, sorry about all of that. Just try to ignore it.

Peace Out!

Peace and Pixies
