A/N: I forgot to mention this before, thanks for all the reviews! I really love them... Sorry for the people who voted for Raerob... there were more Aquarae votes, I hope you guys understand. And for two reasons that this is an Aquarae fic: because they're my favourite pairing (heehee... jk)
The real reasons are because Aqualad/Raven needed more fics... like Ishii Sen Ling mentioned. I don't know why nobody is writing anymore Aqualad/Raven fics. And the votes counts too. I thought about Raerob too. They're my favourite pairing too, but not enough votes.
But don't worry Robrae fans; there will be raerob scenes in chapter 10 or 11.
Chapter 9: Movie night
"So, what genre are we watching? Comedy?" Beastboy quizzed Raven, hoping she would say comedy.
But she shook her head, "Horror,"
"Oh, humour, right?" he quizzed again, not wanting to accept the fact. "Come on, you never even watch comedy. Once you watch it you'll get addicted to it! Or maybe cartoons!"
She didn't reply and insert the disc in the dvd player. Beastboy just gave up and took a seat on the sofa along with everybody else. There was popcorn spread across the table infront of the black sofa. Raven also took a seat which happens to be between Speedy and Aqualad. Beside Aqualad was Starfire who was sharing her popcorn bag with Aqualad. Raven does not like the scene, and she tried her best to ignore them. But it's getting worse. Whenever something that frightens Starfire she would grip Aqualad by his neck or arms. And Raven is getting irritated by Speedy also. He would lay his arm around her shoulder when she isn't aware of her surroundings. Robin, who was beside Starfire does not like the scene of Speedy's arm around Raven either. Anger and jealousy brew inside of him, his blood boils whenever he sets his eyes upon Speedy. Hopefully for Beastboy, the movie 'The Grudge' was officially over.
"Phew, that was one wicked movie." Beastboy siged with a relief. "Now, who's turn to pick?"
"The horror isn't over," Raven got up from her seat and insert another disc after ejecting 'The Grudge' . "And I get to pick twice," she smirked at Beastboy.
"What? Why does she get to choose twice?" Beastboy turned to Robin wanting for an explanation. "Robin, why does she get to pick twice?"
"Well, she missed the last romance movie night," Robin explained.
"That's not fair; she just didn't come because she doesn't want to,"
"So what movie is it, Rae?" Cyborg asked from his seat at the edge of the sofa with the Titans East leader in his arms.
"Dracula's meal," Raven responded and took her seat.
Beastboy gulped along with Mos and Menos.
"Dracula's meal?" Menos gulped again.
The movie began, and this time it gets worse. Starfire jumps on Aqualad's laps whenever the Dracula appears in a dreadful scene. But Aqualad shove her away, in a nice way after the scary part. At that moment, she thought that Starfire might even have a crush on Aqualad. She started a pro and cons. What would happen if Starfire has a crush on Aqualad? What will happen to Robin? And should she be happy for her friend? Oh, she started having lots of cons and no pros. And regret for the horror movies, they're not that scary, maybe Starfire's just pretending. Making one of her moves on Aqualad.
After the movie ended, Beastboy jumped out of his seat happily.
"Now, I guess it's my turn to show you all what a movie night really is!" he announced excitedly.
"Beastboy, chill, it's Star's turn," Cyborg reminded him.
"What? Star? Then when is my turn?"
"What about never?" Raven tried to shut him up.
"Friends! I do not know if you wish to watch it or not, but tonight I would like to watch High School Musical 1, and 2," Starfire announced holding two dvd containers in her hand.
"High School Musical?" Raven asked without any interest.
"Yes, I heard it is very good,"
"But Star, you only get to pick one," Robin reminded her.
"Oh, yeah, I guess. But can't I pick two? After all, this is just a short movie," she pleads.
"Well, I can't see why not," Speedy said.
Starfire joyfully inserts High School Musical in the dvd player.
"The whole movie is pointless," Raven started.
"I totally agree, maybe we should watch..." Robin suggested but interrupted by Speedy.
"It's not all that bad, the songs are pretty good," Speedy joined in but against them.
"I say this movie is soooooo perfect," Starfire agreed with Speedy.
"Well, it's not all that bad, guys," Aqualad persuaded them into watching no. 2. Well, technically Beastboy liked it, also Mos and Menos. The reason Mos and Menos liked it was because Starfire liked it. Bumblebee has nothing against it so 2 against the rest, Robin and Raven are outnumbered, so the two of them has to go through the movie.
"Friends, since you liked High School Musical so much, I had another Disney movie," Starfire said after High School Musical ended.
"Well, it must be good, since Star chose it," Bumblebee agreed to watched it, since she sounded very convincing and Starfire is the closet gal pal that she ever had.
"Well, I had enough of Disney, I'm not into Fairy Tale stuff, or at least that's what Disney mostly produces," Raven declined.
"I'd say, Mos and Menos, it's time for you to pick one," Robin pointed out the two Spanish twins.
"We'd like to watch what Starfire wish to watch,"
Robin's mouth dropped down. "My mistake,"
So they had to watch 'Enchanted', which Raven, Robin, and Cyborg were totally not into.
"Now, my turn to choose!" Cyborg exclaimed excitedly. "Let's watch Final Destination, uh let's see. Should we watch 1, or 2, or 3?" he started deciding between 1 and 3. "I guess, let's watch 3," he finally made his decision.
Well, everybody except Starfire, Mos, Menos and Beastboy enjoyed Cyborg's pick. And the clock strikes midnight.
"Night everybody, end of movie night," Robin declared.

(The Next Day)
The Titans east are now saying good bye to the original Titans.
"Good bye Friends! We'll see next time when we visit for Christmas!" Starfire waved at the Titans East who are now entering the TE-ship.
"Until next time," Robin said.
The Titans East ship has set off for Steel City.
"Well, let's go out for a pizza," Beastboy suggested.
"Ok, after all, we don't have anything to do," Robin agreed.
So they all head out for the pizza stand.
"So, what can I get you?" a waitress about their age with curly brunette hair came up to them.
"I'll have a tofu pizza," Beastboy ordered first. "And 2 combo pizzas, and 2 pepperoni pizzas," Beastboy ordered for his friends, knowing what their likes are.
"And can I have a bottle of mustard please?" Starfire ordered mustard for her drink.
"I'll have a strawberry milkshake," Beastboy ordered.
"Coke for me and a jasmine tea for Rae and a mango soothie for Robin," Cyborg kindly ordered for his friends.
"Thanks Cy," Robin thanked.
"Can I get you any drink?" the waitress asked Starfire.
"No, it is ok for me since I will have the mustard," Starfire declined in her high-pitched voice.
The waitress left to the kitchen whispering, "Mustard? For a drink? Is that a joke? Who are these people?" Obviously, she is new here.
"Robin, when is Christmas?" Starfire asked when the waitress came and hand out their drinks.
"December 25th, why?"
"Oh nothing, it's just that I am so happy that we are visiting Friend Bumblebee and her team mates on Christmas,"
"We will spend Christmas and New Year with them,"
"Delightful News!" Starfire exclaimed.
"What about spending Chinese New Year there too?" Cyborg suggested.
"That'd be 2 months over there then,"
Cybrog just hmmphed and dig into his pizza which came first. Robin just opened his pizza and took a slice gently.
"So Friends, what do you do on Christmas?"
"You exchange gifts, drink cocao drinks, sing Christmas carols. I think that's about it,"
"I think you forgot about kissing under mistletoes and decorate the Christmas trees. How fun is that?" Beastboy added in lifting his eyebrows and moving into Raven closer.
"Yeah, the unnecessary kissing under mistletoes, glad I missed it"
"Exchange gifts? Kiss under mistletoes?" That really caught Starfire's attention. Now she had everything planned for Aqualad.
"Friends, why don't we go to the mall and buy Christmas gifts?"
"Star, we still have 55 days left before Christmas eve," Robin said taking a bite of his pizza.
"55 days is a very long time," Starfire whined.
"Yeah it is, so don't be so excited. Cos who knows? There might be blizzards, and it will ruined your hopes," Cyborg said, thinking in a pessimist way.
"I hope not," Beastboy hoped.

(Back at the Titans Tower)
Beastboy and Cyborg just played playstation, as always, Cyborg breaks the high score. Starfire was painting her fingernails light plum at the centre of the room. Raven was reading incantations while Robin was surfing on the net.
(A week before Christmas Eve)
"Friends! I think it is time for us to buy Christmas gifts!" Starfire announced.
"Yeah, I totally agree, Christmas is moving in really quick," Beastboy said as he got up from his seat.
"Friends, how many gifts do we have to buy?"
"For each and everyone, so that'd be 9,"
"9 gifts, than let's head to the mall of shopping. We have a lot to buy!"

(After they shopped) – (Back at the Titans Tower)
"Friend Raven, you seem to have only a few bags of gifts. Are you not joining in our celebration of Christmas?"
"I am, but I only buy small gifts," Raven responded and left for her room.
"So, as Friend Beastboy told me, we shall now proceed to the wrapping of the presents!" Starfire announced excitedly.
"Friend Cyborg, what did you get for Friend Bumblebee?" Starfire inquired curiously.
"Uh... that's private, cos she won't know who gave what to her,"
"So, they do not know what we gave them?"
"Yeah... the gifts totally have to be anonymous,"
"Oh," Starfire surely was disappointed; she wanted Aqualad to know her gift for him. She forced her self a smile and continued wrapping her presents.
"Hey Star, you're suppose to wrap your presents secretly, so that nobody will know that they're yours," Cyborg reminded.
"Oh... I do not know, so please turn away," she place them back in her shopping bags and began to left for her room. "I shall wrap them secretly now,"
"Hey Robin, I got an idea, why don't we drop by the Titans East tower earlier, to surprise them?" Cyborg suggested.
"That'd be totally awe-some!" Beastboy nodded in agreement.
"I don't know, we'll have to see what the girls think," Robin fiddled.
"It's ok with Star, we'd asked her already! She said YES! Of course she's the one that is excited over this holiday," that was a lie, because they didn't, this was all a lie.
"And we get to help decorate the Christmas trees!"
"Well then, I don't see why not,"
"YES!!" Beastboy and Cyborg exclaimed triumphly.
Starfire gasped as she entered the living room. "What?! DID I just heard Robin said, we're paying a visit to the Titans East earlier?"
"Uh... were you eavesdropping?" Beastboy noted.
"Dropping of eaves? I did not drop any eaves, Beastboy. I heard your conversations so I kept on listening. So, as you were saying, is it true? Or am I hearing things?"
"Yeah," Robin responeded.
"Delightful news! I must alert friend Raven immediately!" Starfire left with a swoosh to Raven's room.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(Meanwhile at Titans East tower)
"So...Aqualad..." Bumblebee piped in as she flew closer to the indoor pool, which Aqualad was floating in, resting himself after handing Billy Numerous to the police.
"Yeah?" he replied, jumping out of the tank, water dripping off his costume, his hair was wet which made him looks really handsome.
Bumblebee was looking up at the perfect guy, "Now I know why girls are after you," she had to admit but Aqualad sure looks handsome.
"Huh?"
"Never mind... can we talk privately?" she said, leading him to her room's direction without waiting for his response.
I hope you like this chapter. A cliffie!
I don't know any other movies that would be Starfire's choice other than High School Musical and Enchanted. So please bear with it. And I know... this chapter should be updated before Christmas... And we are going to reach the climax...soon!
And I am sorry if there are no villains attacking the city scenes... but I promise that there will be some. It's just that, I'm more a romance writer... heehee, can't blame me for that, can you?
Please Review! (That will inspire me to write faster... you know cos it will, with my summer vacation...heehee)
