Sorry for the delay in updating again. It's been a busy couple of weeks! I do have to apologise for Starfire's speech. I did try to mimic how she talks however she has a few speaking lines later on and it really is quite difficult. However here is the next chapter and I still don't own the Titans

First things first we had to persuade Aqualad to go along with our plan. I wasn't thrilled with the idea but if it meant a chance at getting Beastboy back then I would put on my best monotone voice and my blankest face and stick it out. So we called him into the front room as soon as he had finished healing and Robin explained the plan to him.

Aqualad was slumped on the sofa with his arms resting on the back of it and as soon as Robin had finished explaining to him. He took one look at me and said,

"Sure, I'll help you guys out. I want him back here as much as you guys do because I really don't want to be looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Plus, getting to spend an evening with that hottie over there… Well that's just a bonus." He stared me in the eyes as he said this. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise and my skin began to crawl.

"It's for Beastboy… It's for Beastboy" I chanted to myself under my breath. Aqualad seriously gave me the creeps however I had to go through with it to get Beastboy back. It was all about Beastboy. It always had been and always would be in my opinion.

Cy must have noticed Aqualad had unsettled me as he came over, popped his hand on my should and whispered under his breath,

"Don't worry Rae, we will all be there and we won't let him pull another stunt like the one at new years. He'll get another beating if he tries anything this time" Cy was being all big brotherly on me but for once I didn't mind. I just smiled at him gratefully knowing that at least one person was looking out for me.

I switched my thoughts to the next thing that was on our to-do list. We had to find somewhere to stage mine and Aqualad's huge public appearance. It needed to be somewhere that was away from the public so that no member of the public was at risk of harm at any point in the evening. It also needed to be realistic. It needed to be somewhere where the rest of the Titans and I would be going with dates. It was Starfire who came up with the solution to this situation.

"Robin, I have got it! We shall do the throwing of a party. We can have the people from the papers of news report about it and we can go shopping and we can all have dates."

Starfire seemed so excited about the prospect of throwing a party; even if it was a fake one to draw Beastboy out. I had to admit though it was a realistic idea. After all Cyborg's birthday was coming up and it would explain why the Titan's East were here. Especially as everybody knows that Cy and Bee have something going on. It was obvious! I nodded to myself. In fact the more I thought about it the more I was convinced that it would seem legit. I turned round and saw that Starfire was begging Robin to agree to the idea and to let her decorate; to the point where she was floating in front of him hands clasped together with puppy dog eyes to rival Beastboys. Robin glanced at me and I gave a quick small nod and he relented. Starfire squealed and shot off. We probably wouldn't see her now until the actual day of the so called 'party' because even though it was only to draw Beastboy out Starfire would be buying out the whole of the mall to decorate the hall we would have to hire to make it look the part.

I sighed. I would probably be dragged to the mall at some point so that I looked the part as well and if there was one thing that I had learnt about the alien; it was that she was very stubborn when it came to the mall and shopping. I looked around the room trying to determine if I was needed here or if I could escape to my room. Robin was on the phone already booking the biggest hall in the city for the day before Cyborg's birthday. After all nobody wanted to actually have to fight Beastboy on the day of Cy's birthday. It wouldn't be a very nice present at all. I carried on looking around the room. Cyborg was also on the phone but this time to the media leaving an anonymous tip that 'The Teen Titans were throwing a big party for Cyborg's Birthday' and giggling to himself as he knew now that most of Jump City knew when his birthday was he would be getting extra presents this year.

I realized that they had it under control and wouldn't miss me if I went and meditated in my room. All we had to do now was set the hall up and Starfire had that covered. So I melted through the floor and landed on my bed. I crossed my legs and floated a couple of inches above it. I sighed again. It was only seven days until the fake party but I began to realize that they were going to be seven of the longest days of my life.

Okay guys. I realize that this is pretty much a filler chapter but I didn't want to jump straight to the part of the story where they lure Beastboy out without giving some sort of background on how they were going to do it! However I promise that I will try to write and upload the next chapter soon!
