Deep inside the dark Tunnel of Love, Robin and Raven snuggled together on their little boat. This ride was nowhere close to being fast, intense and incredibly short. Instead, it was peaceful, calm and so damn slow. Just the way the dark Titans want it.

"Hey, Rave. How long have we been on this ride?"

"About 15 minutes."

"Good. This is the first time we get to make out in an amusement park without getting caught."

"It's so damn risky, Robin, yet so exciting. I feel so naughty…"

"Hehehe. Just the way I like you to be, Raven…"

The Titans embraced each other and kissed. Closing their eyes, the couple loved how their bodies pressed into each other. Raven straddled on Robin's lap and slowly let her tongue travel inside Robin's mouth. Loving the sweet taste of his beloved, Robin held onto Raven even tighter and let his tongue twirl around with hers.

After minutes of tonsil hockey, the couple broke away from their kiss and lied down next to each other. Robin slowly turned to his lover.

"Raven?"

"Yes, Robin?"

"Will you always be by my side… no matter what?"

"Of course I'll always be by your side. Why would you ask a silly question like that? I love, no matter what happens."

"… It's okay. Raven. Forget I aksed."


"This is by far the most wonderful ride we've been on, friend Beast Boy. It reminds me of the day known as Vax'Alanus. On that special day, we Tamaranians lie in the River of Tranquility and drift to our Holy Temple. By journey's end, we emerge from the river and feel fresh and renewed, in mind and in spirit. Does this Tunnel bring you any pleasant memories?"

"Naw. When I my parents and I were going down a river in Africa, a snake somehow went down my pants. I got so damn scared, I ended up running all over the ship, screaming for help. Dad had to knock me out with an oar so I could hold still and let mom snatch the snake."

"…Oh my. So that's where you got that scar on your head."

"Yeah. Of course, I forgave my old man. I even got this other scar from-"

When Beast Boy looked to the Tamaranian, he noticed how sad she seemed to be. Looked like that happy mask Starfire kept wearing seemed to have finally corroded. Beast Boy sat closer to Starfire.

"Hey, what's the matter, Star?"

"Oh. I'm sorry, Beast Boy. It's just that I'm been very preoccupied lately. I know I do have feelings for Robin. However, I really have a terrible feeling that there's something going on between him and that Raven. I do pray that I'm wrong."

"Robin and Raven? No way! To see those two together is too damn hard to imagine. They at times act as though they're brother and sister."

"That may be true. But we also know that those two are the most mysterious of the Titans. Neither of them say much about themselves, and they're both good at wearing masks. No pun intended."

"I think you're overreacting, Star. There's no way Robin could break your heart. He cares too much about you to ever let that happen!"

"Maybe you're right, Beast Boy. Robin is destined to be my mate. I should have nothing to worry about! You're such a good friend!" Starfire leaned to Beast Boy and hugged him. In a way, Beast Boy felt like he was melting in Starfire's arms. He smiled as he felt strands of Starfire's red hair brush into his face.

(I wish I would be your betrothed, Star…)

Another conversation and some giggling echoed throughout the Tunnel of Love. The cheerful Titans noticed that the echoing was coming from in front of them. As they peered their eyes through the darkness, they noticed another boat ahead of them.

On that very boat was Robin, sharing words with another person.

"Hey, is that Robin? I didn't know Robin would be showing up."

"You're right, Beast Boy. It IS him!" Her eyes were filled with glee when she set her eyes on the Boy Wonder. However, when she got a good glimpse of whom he was with, her eyes formed into a pair of slits.

"… and he's with HER…" Beast Boy noticed another figure in the same boat with Robin. His eyes widen in shock. It was Raven, and she was playfully running her hand through Robin's hair. When he noticed how Robin and Raven were sitting so close together and wrapping their arms around other, Beast Boy lowered his eyes and slowly turned away. Judging from how happy they were together, Starfire's suspicions were right.

(Who would have thought that a heart could end up broken all over again? First Terra, now Raven? Raven, how could you…)

Beast Boy noticed green light illuminating from their very boat. When he opened his eyes, he saw Starfire stand up, powering up like crazy and growling like a Flankaflop Razorbeast from Tamaran. Her eyes were dead-set on the sorceress.


"So when Nightwing wasn't looking, I stuffed his underwear with itching powder. He was itchin' and scratchin' for weeks!" Raven covered her mouth and laughed, never realizing how much of a troublemaker Robin really was when he was a pre-teen. Raven wrapped her arms around Robin's neck and purred like a kitten.

"I've been a very bad boy, Raven…."

"You deserve to be punished, young man. You're gonna like what I have in store for you…" Raven closed her eyes and kissed his neck. When Robin was about to close his eyes and embrace her, he noticed a green light heading right at them. He finally got a good look at what the menacing light really was.

"STARFIRE?" Robin exclaimed.


Outside the Tunnel of Love, Cyborg was talking through his communicator on his arm. In his other hand was a CD he made back at the Karaoke Superstar Booth.

"That's right, honey. I made a very special love song just for you, Bumble Bee. I hear you're doing a great job being leader of Titans East. So I'm gonna be sending you this CD as a way of saying congratulations. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. No problem, baby. I love you too, my sexual chocolate. Buh-bye." Cyborg turned off his communicator and took in more fresh air.

"Man, I love this day! My Queen Bee still loves me, I gave Kelly Clarkson a run for her money, and no Titans bugging me at all! Finally, peace at la-"

A green explosion burst right out of the Tunnel of Love! Two figures flew out of the Tunnel and were grappling with each other, spinning out of control. It was Starfire and Raven, and they're having a major cat-fight, super-heroine style!

"… I was right. I WAS RIGHT! How DARE you put your filthy hands on my betrothed! He was meant to be mine and you KNEW it! I… I thought you were my friend. Now… now you're my enemy. And NONE of my sworn enemies ever survived!"

Starfire kicked Raven away from her and unleashed a menacing barrage of starbolts. Thanks to her fancy flying, Raven barely dodged her rival's firepower. Glowing black all over, Raven fired back with a series of black beams at Starfire. Starfire dodged the beams one by one, but the ninth beam struck Starfire square in the forehead. The Tamaranian spun out of control and crashed right into the Ferris wheel. Starfire shook her head and returned to full consciousness.

"Robin made his choice, Star. It's time you woke up from your damn dreamworld and accept reality. He chose his love, and she just whooped your ass…"

Starfire roared and let her eyes glow with rage. Feeling her powers surge like mad, Starfire pried herself out of the Ferris wheel and flew right for her like a missile.

"I SHALL PROVE TO ROBIN THAT I'M THE ONE DESTINED TO BE HIS! THAT, I SHALL!" The princess and the sorceress clashed once more in the sky. Cyborg was completely shocked and puzzled from the fight.

"Man, what a way for a day to be ruined. I thought those girls were able to keep their cool. What the hell's going on here?"

Robin flew out of the Tunnel and landed on the ground. When he looked up to the sky, he spotted Raven and Starfire committing total combat on one another! Robin just couldn't believe his eyes.

"Son of a bitch. This has got to STOP!" Someone tapped Robin on the shoulder. When Robin turned to who was tapping him, he received a mean right hook to the jaw. Robin let out a light groan and took a step back from the blow. Fuming, Beast Boy rubbed his knuckles and stared coldly at the Boy Wonder.

"You got a lot of nerve to put Starfire through such hell, Robin. She loved you. She CHERISHED you! And here you are, messing around with Raven, the one I felt so much for! How the hell did a scumbag like you turn out to be leader of the Titans?" Beast Boy hissed. Devoid of all emotions, Robin stared right into Beast Boy's eyes and faced his right palm right at the changeling. With one slight thrust at the changeling many feet away, Robin sent a black force at Beast Boy and sent him right for a brick wall. Beast Boy morphed into a gorilla to absorb the impact, but the black force smashed him right through the merchandise center and right out to the other side!

Beast Boy morphed back into his human form and groaned in pain. When he weakly opened his eyes, he saw Robin hovering right over him. The changeling swore that Robin almost looked so much like the Angel of Death.

"… Raven never loved you in the first place. We can stop this right now, Beast Boy. Either that or let me pound more sense into you…" Robin said coldly. Beast Boy growled and got up on his feet.

"… You were suppose to be my friend, Robin. You'll PAY for what you put ALL of us through!" Beast Boy transformed into his most ferocious form of all, the Tyrannosaurus Rex! The T-Rex form of B.B. roared with all his might at the levitating Robin, but Robin folded his arms and was completely unmoved.

"… I see you chose the latter. Fine by me. I need to test out my new powers…"

Cyborg felt completely helpless to do anything to stop his comrades from fighting. In the air, Raven and Starfire were trading beams and bolts at one another. On the ground, Beast Boy in his T-Rex form tried to ram Robin with his skull and whip him with his tail, only to see Robin dodge his attacks with aerial finesse.

"WHAT THE /BEEP/ IS GOING ON HERE?" Cyborg screamed.

… to be continued.
