Darkest Midnight-well I have some good news I'm not going to kill you for two reasons 1) My heart's too big and the only thing I've ever killed is a snake I accidently ran over with the lawn mower and 2) I don't have a gun. Psst. I think your right. So there's another reason I'm not going to kill, man your on a roll! Well thanks for the review! Glad u like it.
Obezed-Well, I actually only have a few more chapters left and although the final chapter is still kinda subject to change, but my brilliant has the next three chapters set up already, and I'm sure you will love them. Well I hope so anyway. I'll try to get more Rob/Star in there, I just have to get BB/Rae settled just a bit more, but hopefully this chapter will make you happy. Thanks for the advice and the review!
Moonarcher- I know it was kinda actually a last minute thing, but I wanted someone to know, actually now to think about it a lot of people found out her secret this time, hmm, anyway I love those two too, they're two of my best creations in all my years of story telling, anyway I never meant for the eyes on the road thing to be funny, but what ever flips your skirt, my dads driving scares me too, and he asks why im so tense when im driving. Anyway thanx for the review!
Reeltreble1031-Well so far I don't have to kill anyone and it makes me very happy, I'm so bummed about the whole cancelling thing, especially since I honestly haven't seen CN put a good show on the air for a very long time, anyway you'll just have to wait to see what happens, anyway laptop is good, thanx for the review!
Hyper Shockers- I must say you guys are the biggest supporters I have, it's people like you that make writer like us, keep writing. I can't say it spiced up my life for four years but a year and a half would cut it, I started actually watching the show when Terra 'died'. My lil' sis always watched it but I thought it was stupid and just laughed at her, well I actually watched with her once and well, here I am. Well Hyper, Rae I must say I've been back and forth a thousand times on the kid thing, and I've really had some mixed emotions about it, but thanks for your input, it helps a ton with my decision. Thanks again you guys! P.S Wow that was long.
Olena- yeah they're getting cancelled, I actually found out from a kid in my art class who knew I watched TT (not many people do) and I accidently woke him up and he told me his world was ending cuz TT is getting cancelled and I swear the kid started crying. SO your not the only one whose falling apart over this, I just think its sucky that they're ending of a stinker of a season. Thanks for the review, I'll do my best!
Darkmagic21- right back atcha, laptops are really the best x-mas present a girl can get, my dad was threatening to take mine away too, so your not alone. Thanks, glad you like the story, I hope I update soon too!
T'shai- haha, really I'm glad I could be the first, actually it surprises me, cause I hardly ever watch the show anymore, not enough time in the day, it kinda makes me sad, but I got friends who tell me what happens so I'm not completely in the dark. Anyway, glad you like it, it's my favortie story of mine, so well yeah, thanx!
Aqua-Cassia-Yes, very much BBRAE forever! And anyone who thinks else wise should have their ears ripped off and duct taped to my door...ew icky image, well glad you like the story! I'm workin' on updatin when I can sorry, I know they're kinda few and far between.
Sunfire-Glad you love it, it's what I do so I try my best to keep on keepin' on, as my good friend Joe Dirt says, sorry I've been watching too many of those stupid funny movies, well anyway thanx for the review and keep on keepin' on.

Chapter 10-
We're gonna roll back time a bit, to when Vic, Dick, and Kori left the pizza place.
"So what do you think of Rae, Dick?" Kori asked a small smile playing on her lips.
"I think that Gar is going to get himself in a world of hurt over this girl," Vic answered, Kori glared over his shoulder at him.
"I asked Dick, not you," she growled. Putting a sweet face back on and turning to her husband, she scooted over as close as the car would allow and managed to somehow lean her head on his shoulder and rub his arm. "So what do you think?"
"I agree with Vic," he replied, without removing his eyes from the road, "he's seems really serious about her. The way he looks at her, he sees Raven."
"You mean, you don't think it's her," She pouted, although in her mind she was laughing at how well Rae had actually tricked the boysDick shook his head as if it was obvious, and looked back at Vic.
"You know you two," Vic said, leaning forward, and resting his elbows on his knees. "We should go out tonight go places we couldn't go when we lived here, and it'll be just us three since B and his girlfriend will probably be out late screwing each other or some sort."
"Great idea genious," Dick replied with a sarcastic tone, "we'll just take a baby into a club, that would run over real well with the management." Vic laughed at his friend's stupidity
"Why don't you try a babysitter?" He suggested, "from the looks of it, BB's got some neighbors with a teenage daughter, she would probably love to watch lil' Molly for ya." Kori and Dick looked worriedly at each other, as they debated leaving her alone with a complete stranger, especially with their situation.
"Leave her alone with some kid that we don't even know?" Dick snorted, "I think not, besides what if...something happens." He lowered his voice as if there was someone in the car watching him.
"Come on Dick, we haven't been out since she was born," Kori complained, throwing her head back, "I want to have some fun, besides she can't even walk yet, what's the worst that can happen."
Dick looked at his wife with worried eyes, before finally letting out a sigh and slouching his shoulders, with a wordless "okay". Kori shrieked and wrapped her arms around his neck and planting a wet kiss on his cheek. He tried to push her off so he could watch the road, but he wasn't trying hard, because well we all knows he liked his wife hanging on him.
So there they were the three life-long friends driving down the road with the newest member of their team gurgling in the back seat of the car. Hopefully this wouldn't be too late of a notice to get Gar's neighbor girl to babysit. So for the first time in ten years they would just be the teens that they once were, and would always be at heart.

Lynn and Mason Time! (Cause we all love 'em)
"Lynn are we lost?" Mason asked her, worriedly looking around at the scenery. Which had
turned from lush farm lands, to a tall thickly-grown forest. Although beautiful to look at, he was starting to get the idea Lynn had no idea where she was.
"I know it's in a forest," She tried hopefully, Mason just chuckled and rolled her eyes.
"Then we must be close. If you would just tell me where we are going, I could help." He suggested kindly, looking at the blonde girl who was trying so hard to surprise him.
"She told me she used to go to this point and you could see the harbor, the tower, the forest, the entire city. She also said it was one of the only places you could see the stars and still be close to the city." Lynn explained, "She said she'd been to both, but this one was the best one. She wouldn't tell me the other."
"Well, you know what," Mason said a sneaky smile on his face, "We should find a new spot and screw what Rae says, hell it can't be that good could it?" This brought a smile to Lynn's face as she pulled the 'burban over and stopped the car. "Yes! Score two for the home team." he rooted as he jumped out of the car, and ran to Lynn's side.
"You're as goofy as your hair." She told him, as she playfully punched his arm, and began to lead him into the trees. He just smiled without a word, and wrapped an arm around her waste, pulling her close.
"I'm going to protect you from the lions and tigers and bears, oh my!" He whispered into her ear, placing a tender kiss where her jaw and ear connected. It sent a shiver up her spine, but she didn't argue, just leaned in closer to him.
"Hey Lynn lookey there," Mason added pointing to a small cliff, "I think I found Rae's spot." He stood there for a moment, looking at the cliff while Lynn got quite excited and began dancing around at the base of it. "Hey Lynn? Is Rae short for anything?"
"I dunno?" Lynn shrugged still too happy to really care. "What I want to know is how she climbed this sucker. I mean I know she's fit but man, this sucker's steeper than a cow's face." Mason walked up to her and wrapped her in a hug and began to rock side to side.
"I think there was another way to the top, smart one." He chuckled, smelling her hair. "But look at that cute little grassy ledge, about 5 feet from the top, we should climb up that tree." He pointed to a tree that stretched up past the top, and was full with good climbing limbs, "and sit there, and watch the stars."
"That sounds awesome," She smiled, as she grabbed him and pulled him to the tree. It was an easy climb but a long one, to the ledge. When they finally got there they found that the ledge was actually bigger than they had thought.
It was about the length of a couch, and covered with soft grass. It came out far enough for them both to sit backs to the ledge with their feet stretched out, and not have them hang over the edge. A few wildflowers were scattered along the back edge. Mason immediately picked one, and bowed low.
"A bee-uty-ful flow-air for ze bee-uty-ful ladee." Mason said in a fake accent, Lynn blushed a deep red and tucked the flower behind her ear. She plopped down and sat there looking at the stars, Mason joined her, and she accepted his shoulder for a headrest.
"You know, you don't see stars like this in Spark City either," Lynn said softly, her hands laid across her chest.
"Yeah." Mason agreed. They sat there silent a while before, Lynn crinkled her nose in concentration, "what is it?"
"Do you hear something?" Lynn asked him quietly, sitting strait up. Mason strained his ears and sure enough, he heard what Lynn had, voices. Male and female, talking in a more than friendly way. Both the two stood up and turned to see what was going on up on the point.
The first thing they saw was the blue mustang, and two people laying on it's hood. They couldn't make out the woman's face, since it was shadowed by the green blanket that she had over her head. But she didn't interest them, it was the man that had their attention. His green eyes were glued to the girl sleeping on his chest. His green skin shone in the moonlight, and his dark green hair looked almost black. He too was soon off in dreamland, his arms wrapped around the girl.
"Lynn I hate to say I told you so," Mason boasted, referring to the tabloid he had seen earlier, "I think we found two of the not-so-teen titans."
"Two?"
"Yeah, that one's Beast Boy, doesn't the skin give it away," He explained, "and the girl is Raven, see with that blanket over her face she looks just like her." Lynn was silent she just stood there studying the sleeping pair, suddenly Raven moved, and the blanket fell around her shoulders to reveal a head of thick permed, black hair.
"Mason, I think I know what 'Rae' is short for," Lynn simply said, Mason couldn't do anything but nod, no wonder no one at the table today wanted the Titans back. They didn't want publicity, he had spent an afternoon with the team who had protected this city. He had been friends with the I-really-wouldn't-want-to-meet-you-in-a-dark-alley one, for almost 10 years, and he didn't even notice. But nothing surpassed his worry for what would happen to her when Ricky found out.

Beast Boy and Raven! (It's been a while since I've typed those names)
The night may of been chilly, but Rae was warm in the arms of her lover, her head on his chest feeling the rise and fall of his steady breathing and the bu-bump of his heart, as it beat for her and only her.
Although she was asleep she was still aware of her surroundings, a skill she had mastered from falling asleep in the downstairs rec room back at her home in Spark City. She would never forget the time when Chip and Russell had dyed her hair pink after she had fallen asleep watching old re-runs of Law & Order, that she had seen about a hundred times.
There wasn't a troubled world out there, as she laid next to Gar, who took every problem in her life. Soon, Rae felt a wet drop on her nose, followed by one on her cheek. She slowly shook herself awake and sat up, only to find that it was starting to rain, but no not just any rain, it was beginning to pour.
"Gar, wake up!" Rae ordered shaking his shoulder, as the rain started to drench her hair, "It's raining you idiot get up." God, he can still sleep through a hurricane, She thought, as she gave up trying to wake him and began digging through his pant pockets for his keys. Her hands searched around, and like any guy's pockets, his were just as deep, causing her to reach even further into his pants.
As if on cue, Gar's eyes fluttered open to find Rae, tongue bitten between her teeth, her violet eyes, rolled up into her lids in concentration, soaking wet with her hand rattling through his pocket.
"Looking for something, babe?" He asked eyebrows raised, Rae jumped quickly surprised by his sudden awakening. She pulled her hand out of his wet jeans, and held up her hands in a what-do-you-think fashion.
"It's raining and I was hoping we could at least crawl into your car," She replied, as she created herself a little shelter with her powers to shield herself to keep from getting anymore wet. She put on her "cute" face before adding, "please."
Gar chuckled at the girl sitting with him on the hood of his Mustang, as he pulled out his keys, and rolled off the hood to unlock the doors. Rae was quick to get inside, and settle herself in the passenger seat, with a sigh she tossed her head back and rested it on the back of the seat.
"Man, if I wanted to get wet I could of slept under the hole in my roof." she complained, Gar just watched her a mischievious glint in his eyes.
"Would you rather get wet in a rain storm or be thrown in a pool with your clothes on?" he asked a broad smile covering his face at the thought of the game he was starting. Rae caught on quick and picked up her head.
"Pool," she answered, "would you rather...hmm...never get to leave your house again for any reason or... have to leave town and never return to Jump City again." Gar scruched his eyes shut in thought, Rae was silently laughing at how cute he was when he was thinking.
"Um...I think I'd rather leave town forever, I need my space, plus being able to see the tower from my window but not be able to go to it would be torture," he replied, in complete seriousness, "Oh, I have a good one, would you rather return to Spark City with your friends and go back to your life just the way it was before you got my letter, or stay here and live with me, and start a new life for yourself." Rae's heart skipped a beat, her life was so easy before she got that letter from him, not knowing where he was, just dreaming day in and day out of what life would of been like if that one night would of been different, it was a feeling of freedom she loved.
But to stay here with him, to be here with the one she'd always loved, this was a whole different kind of freedom, here there would be no dreaming or wondering everyday, she would know he was here and with her. But they way he said it, was he asking her to come live with him, here where she spent the best years of her life? Rae gave him a queer look, as if to say, don't play with me like that.
"To be honest, I feel better with you than I've felt for a long time," she started, "but those guys in Spark city are my family and my friends, sure life is hard but it's home but there are some pretty good benefits." She paused again, his face began to look nervous as she took his hands in her own, feeling his soft green skin against her own pale hands. "But I couldn't leave you again, I couldn't go back and wonder for another 10 years what it would of been like if I would of only said something. I would rather stay here and live with you."
"So are you going to take me up on my offer?" he asked, her smile broadened and her violet eyes shined with excitement, as she nodded and burried her face in his chest, taking in his sweet smell. "I'll take that as a yes." he smiled with excitement, wrapping his arms around her holding her small frame tightly against his body.
"You're gonna love my house Rae," He added, as he began to gently stroke her hair, "It's just a little one, it used to belong to an old couple, that was my first job, taking care of them, they had one son, but he was killed by a drunk driver on the night of his graduation, they never had kids again, until I came along, and they took me in. I liked 'em it was like having parents again."
His voice began to get dreamy and far away, Rae just listened loving the tone of his voice. This soft side of him, that really just wanted to help people, and be accepted by them. It made her feel their pain as a tear began to roll down her cheek and her throat became tight. "They died, within two months of each other, him first...of a stroke, she died of a broken heart.
"They left their house to me, it's probably the first thing I've ever kept clean, but I just couldn't let it go to the dogs after all they did for me." He gave a slight chuckle, and Rae smiled as his chest shook, "But Rae they were so in love, married for 75 years, right out of high school. After their son died, he built her this little porch swing on the back porch, it looks out over the harbor, you can see the tower, and it's the most beautiful place to watch the sun set."
"That's beautiful," Rae said, teary eyed, she was secretly praying that her and Gar would end up like that old couple, married for so long, so in love after to long that the weren't able to live without the other. They say conversational skills are the most important things in a relationship, but there was not another word said as the two sat there together, although to some it seemed that the car was silent, to Gar and Rae it was screaming with their love for each other.

Alright, I was gonna make this chapter longer but I like the sound of that for an ending so, I'll leave it and make the next chapter a bit longer. If I misspelled any words by leaving an "N" out I'm sorry my "N" key broke and so now its all weird and you have to push really hard and sometimes when I'm on a roll I just tap it. Well hope you enjoyed this chapter. But I have a question y'all need to answer:
Should I give Cyborg a girl, or just leave him single, Yes or No?
Well tell me please!
LOVE EVERYBODY
