Raven: Uh... I can't believe people read this...
Rose: Raven, you should be happy, a pinch on sanity, Aqua Lad's coming
Raven: Oh.. yeah.. :)
Robin: What is this?
Speedy: Dude, chill...
Rose: Roy... It, it can't be...
Roy: Rose...
Trent: Oh no, no way.
Rose: Trent...
Trent: No, I'm not gonna let him sit there and-
Raven: Uh! I can not work with these people! I need to meditate! Azarath Metrion Zin-
Speedy: Rose... oh, uh, Salem14 does not own the right to the Teen Titans
Raven: I hate you...
Rose: Don't forget to read and review...
"We're going to have visitors, later..."
"Who?"
"Titans East."
Rose POV
"Titans East."
"Titan's east?" A mumble escaped my lips.
"Oh, Aqua Lad's coming?" I breathed.
"My Bee!" I heard Cyborg exclaim. Bee?
I turned towards the empty hallway, away from StarFire's squeals, Trent's growling, and Robin's explanations.
"Yes, due to the lack of criminal activity, Bee and I thought it best for the rest of the Titans to meet you."
Bee… ? AquaLad, from the stories I've heard about the Titan's East, I have my work cut out for me, it's been trouble enough trying to keep Robin and Trent from killing each other, now I have to deal with five more, FIVE. Though, I must admit, crime has been slowing down, tremendously. Trent and I only had to help a handful of times, and I've already been here for two weeks. Trent and I though, we never saw it fit to dress up like the others, I mean, we're different, we can control our powers; though only to a certain degree. I let out a hearty sigh and dragged my candy to my desolate room. How exactly DOES one play the role of the little sister of the fearless leader, a werewolf… I threw the candy on my bed and turned to the vanity. I quickly wiped the caked make-up off of my face, leaving only two streaks of purple above my eyes, the mascara, and a light pink tint on my lips. Time was slipping through my fingers. I heard the slam of the door leading into the main room, they're here…. I thought I had more time. I looked myself up and down, this will have to do… I pulled at my locket and let out a sigh.
Trent POV
They were there within an hour; the five of them, Aqua Lad, Bee, Cy did NOT do her justice. Then there were two tiny men, in matching outfits, Mas y Menos, no doubt. They were mumbling something in another language; Spanish no doubt, oh they're going to love Rose. I told her not to take Spanish, but no. She had to take Spanish; she had to learn how to speak to the immigrants, though it HAS helped find us a place to stay once or twice. AquaLad stood there, with a smug look planted upon his face. Then there he stood, a masked teen, his orange hair coming close to matching that of StarFire's. His black and white mask covering his eyes, his jumpsuit a bright a red, with yellow belts and sash, holding his weaponry, his outfit complete with a black bow and arrow, an archer. He must be the infamous Speedy, the lady killer. He apparently, "had" half of the city throwing their panties at him. Oh, this is going to be fun. If he touches her, I swear… Oh god, now I sound like Robin. She better get out here quick, before I slap myself. Though, if I lose her, to one of these guys… I don't know what I'd do. She's all I've had in my life, for nine years, once Richard was gone, she was alone, and I found her, she was only bitten a few years ago, but we were together long before it. Now that I think about it, the archer looks awfully familiar, where have I seen him before? God please don't let it have to do with Rose, please. Oh, they're talking to me.
"Man?" He was pushing me, the archer.
"Trent?" Aqua Lad and Robin actually sounded concerned. Wow, maybe they aren't so bad after all.
"Come on man." Cyborg urged.
"Is she okay?" Bee asked, I shook my head from my gaze and looked straight into her large brown, beautiful eyes.
"Yeah.." I lied, placing my arm on the large white island.
"Trent?" Her soothing voice called. It was Rose.
"Trent, are you okay…." She ran over to me, placing her soft hand upon my arm. I smiled at her.
"Yeah, yeah Red, I'm fine." My fangs poked out at her, she shoved my arm and shook her head, her soft chocolate hair, bouncing with every motion. Wow.. Her hand raised as she greeted each of the two Titans in front of her, Bee and Aqualad, giving each a small smile. They said their hellos as she bent down to greet Mas y Menos. She tied her hair back into a tight ponytail, two curly strands hanging loose. She kneeled to be at their level.
"Hola. Tu es mas bonita." Mas (?) started.
"Como esta? Si, mas bonita.." Menos (?) added.
She smiled and pulled two metallic bracelets out of her jeans pocket. She placed one around each boys wrist.
"Bien, muy bien, y tu?" She greeted.
"Good, actually, we…" Mas froze as he turned to look at twenty eyes staring straight at him, only Rose smiling at him.
"Did you just-" Menos asked.
"You guys…?" Bee asked.
"It's quite simple really, the bracelets are universal translators, they can understand us, and we can understand them." She beamed.
"Cool!" They shouted simultaneously. She slowly rose to meet the masked eyes of the final member.
Speedy POV
She was so beautiful, I mean, AquaLad said that she was beautiful, but he never told me, that she was this, gorgeous, I mean, truly beautiful. Her hazel eyes met her dark chocolate bangs, her shoulder length curled hair, beautiful. The way she dealt with Mas y Menos, I mean, wow. She rose up to me, her eyes matching my mask. I was taken aback, at a loss for words, she's so beautiful… so, familiar. She honestly took my breath away, me. The womanizer, leaving behind a trail of broken hearts. Speedy, wow.. I should probably say something, her eyes are pleading. Such beauty…
"Um… hi, hello. My name is" She cut me off.
"Roy?" She whispered. Her voice was so soft, so pleasant, wait, WHY DOES SHE KNOW MY NAME?
How is that possible?
"Uh, no. It's Speedy." I replied, wow, nice save man.
"Oh… Sorry, you just look like-never mind." She shook her beautiful head.
Rose Flash Back
First grade, Gotham Elementary-
"Roy!"
The six year old brunette screamed, being carried by a young man in a yellow shirt and black pants, his eyes a pale blue, his hair, a vibrant orange.
"Put me down!" She pounded on his back.
"Whatever you say Princess…" He smiled, complying to the small girl's demands. She pushed back a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Ugh, thanks…"
He winked at her, the pair sat down on the broken curb. Even a lady killer back then, he scratched the back of his neck.
"Hey, uh Rose?"
The girl looked up from drawing in a small patch of dirt.
"Yeah Roy?"
He smiled, "It's, it's nothing."
"What is it Roy?" She asked him.
Giving her his best reassuring smile, he pulled a small black box from his pocket.
"Happy Birthday." He proclaimed.
She looked at him, her eyes asking what this was.
"Ah, Roy, I love it."
She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into an embrace. She turned and lifted her hair, signaling for him to place the necklace on her. Her complied, as she turned, the gift was revealed, a silver locket.
Normal POV
"Roy…"
She cheered, wrapping her arms around the archers neck.
"It is you…"
He slowly placed his hand upon her back.
"Yeah… I guess it is…"
Well, there you have it, folks...
Trent: Yuck...
Raven: Why wasn't I in this one?!
Rose: You said you needed to meditate.
Trent: Yeah and YOU didn't care about ME! witch...
Speedy: Wow, Rose...
Raven: Oh not this again...
Rose: Uh... don't forget to vote... every vote counts
Trent: Yeah for me and Rosie
Speedy: In your dreams Wolf boy...
Rose: Don't forget to review. We love you...
