"Thank you Raven" Arella hugged her daughter tight.
"Like I have a choice" Raven muttered, pulling away.
"Oh My God" Beast Boy exclaimed "Raven getting married, and not me!"
"Bad luck sorry, " James said slipping his arms around Raven's waist.
"Friends I am cold, may we go inside?" Starfire asked shivering
"Yes" Arella replied and the group set back of to the palace.
Raven sat herself into a chair. "When's this wedding then?"
"Hmm how's tomorrow sound?" James sat next to her. He smiled, truthfully he couldn't wait for Raven to be his
She thought tomorrow only 1 day and she'd be married. "Sounds great, the sooner the better" Arella said Raven's words for her, knowing she didn't want to do this.
Raven sighed. Tomorrow. Maybe she could murder James before then. Problem solved kind of. Not really, as if she could. Besides she's doing this for a reason. To get rid of Trigon. Killing James, well she might as well not marry him.
Now that was music to her ears, "Not Marry Him". Her emotions jumped for joy at the words. Simple comes to wedding instead of saying "I do" say "I don't '" Hah! Yes prefect. Or not. Still doesn't solve the problem of her farther having control. Marring James was the only way.
Some life I have. Raven thought. Forced to marry some one I don't even love, real happy ending. I knew fairytales weren't real and to think I was starting to think they were, stupid aren't I? Yeah. I'm just to scared to admit it, Love's right. Like it matters anymore. I'll marry James and he'll marry Star. That's how it's meant to be. Like he'd choose me over the goddess of love. The amazing princess, the sun beam the prefect girl that is her. And me, messed up, unperfected, alone, life is what it is. She was nearly crying, just thinking. Tears filled her eyes.
"Excuse me" she left the others, staring wondering what had made her act so.
Drying her eyes, Raven looked out the window, in the hall. It was dark but the garden's fairy lights lit up the garden, so she could see. What she saw made her want to cry even more but not a single tear fell. Robin had his arms wrapped around Faith. That simple picture told her everything. But she didn't want to think about it. Sadness didn't fill her, what did was hate. Pure hate towards Faith. She clenched her fists. Violet eyes in a straight glare. Her breathing became short, she gasped for air. Heart pounding at the sight. She saw Robin touch Faith's face and kiss here lips. This wasn't happening.
The future played before her. The golden haired child running around the garden, in to the arms of her farther. Even an idiot could see if was Robin, slightly older and boy did he look good but it was him all right. Then Faith still a beautiful as she was before, age was on her side. The black haired boy pulling at her arm. Complaining about something no doubt.
Raven held her breath, waiting for what was next. She waited, and waited but the same thing played over and over. Like a broken film. A broken film of a simple kiss. A love story. She couldn't take it. Her mind was bursting, and her heart breaking.
She felt the floor slip beneath her. Then the hard blow as she hit it. She wasn't falling but she might as well have been. The room a blur around her. But eyes fixed on the two outside. Watched them walk inside, laughing , happy. In love. She'd missed her chance. She'd lost him, to her best friend. What life was this? Hell on earth. Just die Raven she thought still holding back tears. No one will care.
"Raven" she heard Faith behind her, "are you okay?"
"Leave me alone" Raven snapped and sank to the floor.
"Rae?" Robin crouched next to her. "What's the matter?"
"I'm marrying James, tomorrow" Raven sulked
"Tomorrow?" Faith asked, "Bit soon isn't it?" She helped her friend up.
"Mother thinks it's best" Raven muttered
"Tomorrow" Faith repeated
"Yes I know, don't remind me okay I'm trying to forget this hell of a life"
"Sorry Rae, Rae, hmm be right back" Faith walked away, leaving Robin with Raven alone. Great!
"Your marrying James then?" Robin asked though it was clear that she was.
"Yeah, I guess I am" Raven replied
"Tomorrow?"
"Yup"
Robin felt everything inside him tighten, and then he just went numb, Her eyes bored at him. In to him. ".you" The words were hard to say, he was angry, angry was the right word no? "I.. I. Hope you're happy together"
"Thanks" Raven frowned.
There was silence.
"Robin" Raven spoke. "You know I'll have to leave the titans after this?"
"Yeah" Now Robin frowned.
"Good luck with your life then" She smiled a bit, but tears filled her eyes.
"Same to you"
"Raven, Come here sweetheart" James called.
She looked in the direction of the voice, and turned back to Robin. "I should, uh go"
He nodded, and she went. "Yeah, go sweetheart" he muttered, "just go"
Faith sighed, "Idiot, you could have told her" her words were almost hisses.
"Like it would have mattered" Hey when did she get there?
"Idiot" Faith mumbled.
That was it, she set him of. Grabbing her arm, he glared. Now he was mad. "Shut Up, okay!"
Faith just laughed. "I knew you hadn't gone all soft"
Loosening his grip, he stared at the girl. "You thought I'd gone soft?" The words made little sense, a soft Robin. Never.
"Come on, if the person I loved was marrying some one else, I'd be pretty mad, you just well take it" Faith bit her bottom lip.
"Yeah, I guess I just take it, and I shouldn't?" Robin was confused acting like a three year old, Faith laughed to herself, at the thought of how much she wanted a video camera right now, this had future blackmail all over it.
"No you shouldn't, Robin, you need to fight for her"
"Fight for a girl?!" "That's just wrong"
Faith sighed she wasn't getting threw to him, "Right now, this very moment what matters to you the most?"
Robin thought. "You want the truth?"
The girl nodded.
" Nothing"
"Nothing?"
"Nothing matters right now"
"I have to do everything around here don't I?" Faith snapped. She stormed of
It was dark out, the moon shining brightly through every window. People would start going to sleep soon wouldn't they? With a wedding tomorrow, there was a lot to be done for a wedding. Robin leant against the wall gone soft me? …No He thought.
Yawning he realized he was tired.
"Some ones sleepy" a happy little voice chirped. Robin looked down to see Jade. "I'm going to bed now," she continued "Night, Night" Hugging him, she skipped of.
Wait did she just hug him? Robin shrugged, and headed to the lounge. Strange how he knew this place, like it was his own house, after only a few days.
"Well Night Guys" he said.
"Good Night" Starfire said, she was curled up on the floor, half asleep. Robin laughed at that.
Everyone said "Good Night" And he headed to the room he'd been given.
Sighing he slouched onto the bed. He knew he wasn't going to sleep tonight. Not with out her. Maybe Faith was right maybe he had gone soft. He'd never admit that he'd loved some one in a long, long, long, long time. (You get it don't you? Good) The thought of Raven marrying James hurt him. More than Slade had ever been able to. Yeah Faith was right, she'd made him soft. But he couldn't be soft, he had a life to live, and so did Raven. No one said life was easy he knew that. All he had to do was let her do this. And move on. He was human after all; he'd forget that he even loved her at all sooner or later. Right? Right. Could Faith wipe minds? If she could then, Raven would marry James and Faith would clear his mind from every memory of the gothic titan, and he could live is life in peace. It would be like she never existed (Haha, This is fun)
He lay back, head resting on the pillow. Exhaustion waved over him, but Robin didn't relax, he refused to. He stared into space, his eyes begging him to let them close or even blink. He glanced round the room, unsure why. No one was there, why would there be? Checking the room once more Robin removed his mask, and sighed. He blinked a few times, and then he had no choice but to close his eyes. Instantly he felt better, and was unable to open them again. Remarkably he was able to get himself changed and under the covers. How? He didn't know. But that didn't matter. Laying his head on the pillow he closed his eyes once for a second time, and fell asleep with in seconds.
The girl pushed the door open slightly, smiled and closed it again. Faith didn't think he'd sleep. But something in his thoughts told her he'd only sleep for a while. And something else told her, he'd be mad if he knew she'd checked on him. What he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. . As soon as he'd left Raven had insisted on going to bed herself. Out of everyone in the palace, Raven's emotions were the ones Faith noticed the most. A mixed of anger, and depression, in fact just one whole big mess. It didn't take long for Faith realize that she to had to sort this out. She had to calm her friend before she blew the place up, and more importantly injured herself. Soon she found herself standing in Raven's room. Raven pacing back and forth.
"What am I going to do?" she cried "For the love of azar what am I going to do?" The bedside lamp melted.
Faith's mouth dropped open at the sight. This was worse than she thought. "Calm down" she suggested.
"Calm down!" Raven shouted, "Calm down, No I will not calm down!" The mirror smashed. "I'm getting married tomorrow, wait today and I don't want to, I thought you were meant to be happy on your wedding day not like this!" The glass on clock cracked.
"It's just your nerves" Faith tried to calm her.
"Nerves!" She snapped, "I think not, you know as well as I do, this is the worst thing Mother could ask me to do right now!"
"Yeah, I do" Faith sat on the bed; truthfully she was very scared right now.
The pictures that were on the wall, smashed into a thousand little pieces , glass covered the floor.
"Oh Faith" Raven sobbed taking a seat on the bed. "What shall I do?"
"Like I said calm down, before you kill us both"
Rae began breathing slowly. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos"
"Better?" Faith asked
Raven nodded "Better"
"Okay, Lets see, shall we hmmm" The girl went into thinking mode, that's what everyone called it, when she had the distant looking face on. "Don't do it"
"But I have to don't I" Raven sulked.
"No you don't"
"No? It's the only way to save the kingdom"
"True, but you can choose not to"
"And let Trigon walk over everyone, let him destroy this place?"
"Well when you put it that way"
"Your not helping Faith"
"I'm trying okay, I've never been in your situation"
"I wish I wasn't in it"
"Let me think" Faith told her
"Kay" Rae replied.
Raven watched what was left of the clock, the second hand moved round. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock. It was driving her crazy, like Chinese water torture.
She growled "Hurry up please"
"Wait okay" Faith shook her head, as the book shelf collapsed "And try to relax, meditate, it will pass the time as well as save us"
Sighing Raven levitated and began to meditate. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" The clock ticked in time. "Azarath, Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Tick Tock Tick Tock "Azarath Metrion Zin…Zinthos" " "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" Raven screamed "Damn that clock!" Faith laughed as the clock blew up.
"Keep trying hun" Faith laughed a little, and went back to thinking
"I cant, I just cant" Rae said but levitated again. "This is pointless"
"How about you run away?" Faith smirked at the thought.
"Err to where may I ask?"
"No idea, hmmm" Faith gazed at the clock, but realized it was on the floor.
"There's nothing we can do, I have to marry him" Now Raven really sulked.
"I got nothing, yeah I guess you do, sorry Rae" Her friend apologized.
"You tried your best" Raven smiled a little.
"mmm" Faith muttered "I wonder"
"What?" Rae sat up at the thought of an idea.
But Faith didn't reply, she stared into space, Raven waited, but nothing.
The gothic girl sighed, and started to sulk again.
Faith jumped, blinked, glared for no reason, then spoke. "Nothing"
Raven stared at her, with a puzzled look. What was all that for? "Faith Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, go on"
"I…I saw…you…and…Robin…in..the..garden"
"And?" Faith questioned
Raven swallowed "And I wanted to know if there was anything between you two" her words came out way to fast, but Faith understood.
"You think, me and Robin are together?"
The other girl nodded shamefully
Faith laughed "Raven look at me" Raven did. "No"
"No? But I saw, he…"
She was cut of "he had his arms around me because I was cold"
"Oh" Raven felt very stupid indeed, then anger shot through her "Then how come I saw him kiss you?"
"What?!" her friend shook her head "He never kissed me Rae"
"But I saw!" Raven insisted
"It was your mind playing tricks on you"
"It was?"
"Yes Raven, trust me there is nothing between me and Robin"
"Your friends though" Raven stated the fact.
"You could say that, but that's all we are"
"For now" Raven smiled.
"Hey would I touch your man hmm?" Faith laughed
Raven shook her head and laughed. "Sorry that I thought you would"
"It's nothing, you should sleep"
"I cant"
"Try okay, lay down and close your eyes, normally works for me"
"If you insist" Raven muttered
"Night Raven" Faith said walking threw the glass that covered the floor to the door.
"Night"
She closed the door behind her. For a split second she closed her eyes. He was awake. So much for sleeping.
Suppose I should go sort him out" Faith muttered to herself
She knocked on the door.
"Come in"
"I thought you were sleeping"
"You really thought I'd sleep tonight?" Robin asked, fully dressed with mask, once again.
"No, Not really, I just sorted Raven out" Faith laughed at the memory
"Is she okay?"
"Far from okay, I don't think there's a thing but her bed in the room that she hasn't blown up or melted"
"Uh Oh" Robin breathed a laugh.
"But, I think part of that was because she thought we were together"
"She really thought that?"
"Yes, but I sorted that out to"
"Explained to her that we are totally not?"
"Yeah, took a while"
"Oh"
Both of them sighed. "Coffee?" Faith asked. It was a random thing to say but it was all she could think of.
"Nah" Robin replied, sighing again
"Alright, you okay?"
"No"
"how'd I guess that, what's up?"
"Don't you know!" Robin snapped
"Robin listen, she might change her mind before morning, she really doesn't want to do it"
"She wont"
"You don't know that"
"Yeah I do"
"No you don't!" Faith growled, her anger taking over for a second or two.
Robin stared at her, scared of what was happening.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that" Faith said seeing the look on his face.
"It's okay, I was kinda waiting for that anyway"
Faith growled again "Okay your driving me crazy, you just sit there, this isn't like you, if your friends knew, they'd…"
He cut her of "You don't know me!"
She shifted her glace across the room, " your wrong"
"What?"
"I know everything Raven knows, I can see inside her mind Robin, and she's been inside yours, plus I can read your mind like a picture book" She turned to look at him again.
"A picture book?" His mask wrinkled as he raised an eyebrow,
"Well you mind's more a really hard novel, Beast Boy's and Starfire's are more like picture books but you know what I mean, you mind it's easy to read, but hard to understand.
"Thanks" A sarcastic tone was in his voice.
"Your oh so very welcome" Faith laughed now.
"So you think I'm not acting like me?" Robin said
"No. I know your not"
"Guess I should stop then, if only I new what I was doing"
"Your acting depressed, instead of angry, and its annoying" Faith smiled
"Right, so you want me to get angry"
Faith nodded. Her eyes caught something, she picked up the pillow and hit him, harder than she had meant to.
"Hey!" "Stop it"
"No it's to much fun"
"Faith were acting like children"
"sorry Mr Serious but I' still allowed to have fun"
"Quit it"
Faith sighed "alright, but at least you didn't just sit there"
"Yeah"
"Hmm I'm going to put some music on"
"Okay.. may I ask why?"
"No" Faith stood up and pressed play on the CD player. How did he not notice that there?
"Is there a CD in there?"
"Yep, This is my little room"
"Little Room?"
"Yeah, when I don't want the others to find me, they look for me in my room and stuff but not here"
"Oh"
Faith sat back down. Music began to play. She began swaying back and forth, but stopped when she saw the strange look Robin was giving her. Both of them sat in silence and listened to the lyrics.
Katie, don't cry, I know
You're trying your hardest
And the hardest part is letting go
Of the nights we shared
Ocala is calling and you know it's haunting
But compared to your eyes, nothing shines quite as bright
And when we look to the sky, its not mine, but i want it so
Let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
while across the room, he stares
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
You're all that I hoped I'd find
In every single way
And everything I could give
Is everything you couldn't take
Cause nothing feels like home, you're a thousand miles away
And the hardest part of living
Is just taking breaths to stay
Because I know I'm good for something
I just haven't found it yet
But I need it
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
while across the room, he stares
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable at best
Ladada ladada ladadaoh ohhh
And this will be the first time in a week
That I'll talk to you
And I can't speak
It's been three whole days since I've had sleep
Because I dream of his lips on your cheek
And I got the point that I should leave you alone
But we both know that I'm not that strong
And I miss the lips that made me fly
So let's not pretend like you're alone tonight
I know he's there
You're probably hanging out and making eyes
while across the room, he stares
I bet he gets the nerve to walk the floor
And ask my girl to dance, and she'll say yes
Because these words were never easier for me to say
Or her to second guess
But I guess
That I can live without you but
Without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
But without you I'll be miserable
And I can live without you
Oh, without you I'll be miserable at best
Robin sighed and fell backwards. He laid down staring at the ceiling. "Well that sure cheered me up"
Faith laughed and laid down next to him "Yeah, it's happy isn't it"
"No, you couldn't have found a more depressing song right now"
"Sorry, I didn't know what was in there" Faith defended herself, sitting up.
"It's fine"
"I'm going to bed, then" Faith said.
"Kay, Later" Robin replied
"Yeah" Faith sighed and left Robin alone.
Raven's Room
Raven sat up in bed, her emotions were stopping her sleeping. She rocked back and forth. Hugging her knees. "Why didn't Trigon just kill me" she muttered. The window smashed. "Great, just great"
She stood up; carefully she shuffled over to the window. The cold night air greeted her. It blew her hair around her face, her cloak lapping around her body.
"This isn't how the night before your wedding day is meant to feel is it?" She asked the wind, knowing she wouldn't get a reply, but she knew the reply anyway. "No" she breathed the word. "Not at all"
Sighing she levitated, imaged an ocean and relaxed for the first time that night.
Robin's Room
He hadn't moved, not even a millimetre since Faith left him. "Faith left him" The words sounded like they'd broken up. Robin sighed. He had heard the smash. Some how he knew it was Raven's fault. Maybe that was a bit harsh. It wasn't really her fault. Was it? In less than 13 hours Raven would be getting married. And he was just sitting here! The more he thought the angrier he got. Angry at James he was the one she was marring, at Raven for agreeing to this, at Arella for making her, and at himself for just sitting there and taking it. Anger built up inside him, like a volcano. He was going to explode, soon. He didn't know when, but he couldn't take this much anger. Could he? He'd taken a lot before. Maybe he could. Just maybe he could sit there while she said, "I do" and take it. Or maybe he couldn't, maybe he would end up killing James before the wedding was over. Robin thought for a long time, and soon he realized he wasn't acting like a hero at all. James had done nothing wrong, and he wanted to kill him for doing the right thing. Marrying Raven.
Faith's room
Faith sighed. She to had heard Raven's window break. I cant believe she thought me and Robin were like together, that's crazy, I would never, in his dreams, maybe I shouldn't have thought that, if only I could do something, it's clear that Raven doesn't want to do this. I was there, her rooms like a bomb site Her emotions a mess. Faith thought But there is something I can do. I can make sure someone crashes her wedding. What part of I belong to him didn't I understand? I'm a messenger. And I'll deliver the message, of the plan for her to marry James. Perfect. And in repayment for the tip, he'll have to leave Azarath forever. She levitated; this was how she spent most nights. Meditation was just like sleep, only better. Plus her idea could be put into stage one, if she meditated. Then it hit her, she'd had the idea for ages, ever since Robin had admitted to loving the bride. Sorting everyone out must have cleared it from her mind, now she had time to think it came back. But it was dangerous, very dangerous. It was the only thing she could think of it would have to do.
Uh No where
Time ticked by neither titan slept.
Raven's relaxed time didn't last long. It stopped when the town bells rang 3 times telling her it was 3 am. And she went back into panic mode, having no choice but to levitate, as her bed exploded. She had been told that the wedding would be around 2 pm. That was only 12 hours away about that. The feeling inside was like the feeling she would have if she were trapped in a cave, with a bomb ticking away, and when it blew up she would die. Fear, anger, sadness. Pretty much was all she felt. Nothing even close to happy. For the second time that day her chest grew tight, making it hard to breath. But she kept breathing, something told her she had to. Something told her she had to last the night, that she had to marry James, that she had to forget the titans forever, and the thing that was telling her wasn't her mind it was her heart.
Robin just stared at the clock, fists clenched, gritting his teeth. He wasn't upset anymore, just angry. More angry than he'd been for a long time. At nothing, at himself, yes he was angrier with himself than he had been after the whole Red X thing. He didn't relax, he didn't think. It was like he was trapped in a bubble.
More time passed and soon it was starting to get light again. Robin and Raven stayed in their trance. For hours on end. Eventually the bells chimed 7 am.
"You didn't sleep did you?" Faith asked, walking into Raven's room.
Raven shook her head.
"Silly girl aren't you hmm" Faith said looking around. She closed her eyes and every broken thing in the room, even the window, fixed itself.
"Thanks" Raven muttered.
"No problem, umm Arella's looking for you"
"Is she? Guess I should go then"
"Yeah"
Raven headed downstairs it wasn't hard, finding Arella.
"Raven, uh well, your getting married, I'm guessing you will need a dress" Arella said, her eyes fixed on Jade's hair as she brushed it.
"mmmm, yeah I guess I need one" Raven frowned, she'd had enough of dresses.
"Well we have one for you, have done for ages, though I'm not sure if it will fit, so you'll have to try it on" Arella explained.
"Okay, later though yeah, I mean in a few hours or something?"
"Sure, go see your friends, Starfire wanted to talk to you"
"Hmm" Raven sighed.
Hours must have passed, instead of going to find the bubbly titan, (*laughs* love the work bubbly) Raven deicide to sleep. She could barley keep her eyes open; she needed to rest, even if it was only for a little while.
Faith knocked on Robin's door maybe she should just go in from now on, all this knocking was annoying.
"What?" he asked from inside
"Can I come in?" Faith said, wincing at the sharp tone in his voice.
"No"
"Well I'm coming in"
"I said No!" Robin snapped
"Tough luck!" Faith snapped back. "I'm coming in"
Robin sighed in defeat. "You think your all that don't you?"
"Not at all, at may I comment on your rude behaviour"
"Sorry, I'm just in a bad mood" Robin sighed.
"I kinda noticed" Faith laughed.
"Really?"
"Yeah"
"What time is it?"
"10 am"
"Seriously?"
"Uh huh"
"Woah" Robin yawned
"You didn't sleep either?"
"No"
"You and Rae are both mental"
Thanks, speaking of Raven how is she?"
"last time I checked sleeping"
Robin smiled
"Do you wanna go see her?"
"Mmm, yeah"
"Lets go then" Faith took his hand, and pulled him down the stairs.
XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx
"Careful" Jade complained "Your sticking pins in me"
"Sorry" The dressmaker apologised Okay I'll call her uh hmmm Sara)
"You did it again" Jade said.
"Well maybe if you kept still it wouldn't happen" Sara snapped "Now stay still!"
"Okay, Okay" Jade sighed. She didn't know why she was a flower girl
"Good, were nearly done so the stiller you stay then quick I'll be done"
"Great, you know I don't really like purple but this look amazing on me" Jade joked.
Sara laughed "It does, even if I do say so myself, there just the ribbon to add and done" Sara tied the black ribbon around Jade's middle. "Done" she sighed (For a picture of her dress go to my profile and click the link)
"Thank you" Jade cried, jumping down of the platform.
"Welcome, just got Faith and Raven left to do" Sara laughed.
"Yep, I'll go get Faith shall I?"
Sara nodded.
XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx
"What do you think friends?" Starfire asked Cyborg and Beastboy.
"Beautiful" Cyborg smiled
"Give us a twirl Star" BB laughed.
Starfire twirled. The purple dress didn't shift, but swayed.
"Is it not joyful that I get to be the maid of the bride for friend Raven?"
"Yeah" Both said in union.
Jade skipped threw. "Wow" Cyborg exclaimed when her saw here "Two princess"
She laughed "Have you seen Faith? Sara needs to fit her dress"
"Speak of the devil" Beast Boy said, as Faith walked into the room, pulling Robin along.
"Faith, Faith, Sara wants you" Jade said
Faith sighed."Gotta go sorry, Rae's in there" Faith told Robin and ran out. XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx XxXxXxXx
"Hi" Robin said, when he saw Raven was awake.
"Oh, Hi, How are you?" Raven replied.
"Me? I'm Fine, and you?"
"Fine, Just, Fine"
"Glad to hear, are you nervous or anything, about today I mean?"
"A little"
"Oh, There's nothing to worry about" Robin lied
"Really, It sure doesn't feel like that" Raven raised an eyebrow.
"hmm, Faith's getting her dress fitted "
"umm Cool, she shouldn't take to long she doesn't age so the dress was made to fit her and it still should"
"mmm, Wait, she doesn't age?"
Raven shook her head.
"So she's been how old for ever?"
"16"
"Only 16, so she's been 16 for how long?"
"Umm 20 years"
"Oh"
"Yeah, so I should have to get my dress soon"
"Your not looking forward to that part are you" Robin laughed for the first time that day.
"How'd you guess?" Raven said in a sarcastic voice.
"I'm clever"
Raven let a small smile creep on to her lips.
Faith danced into the room "Ta Dah"
"Pretty" Both birds said.
"Raven your turn now, only 2 hours left till the wedding"
She sighed "Later Robin"
"I don't think so," he muttered
"Your really think I look pretty?" Faith asked, looking down at her dress.
"Of course"
Faith wrinkled her nose. Staring into the mirror. The dark purple bridesmaid dress swept the floor. It was perfectly straight. With silver sequins on. (Click on the link on my profile to see a picture of it, 100% perfect, its what all the bridesmaid dresses look like A.k.a Starfire and Faith)
"I can't believe in 2 hours Raven will be married"
"Hmm" Robin gritted his teeth.
"Her dress might take some time" Faith giggled
"Why?"
"We were uh planning for her to be a little younger, meaning she would be well smaller"
"How young?"
"14"
"14?!"
"Yeah, it's a normal age here, to get married"
"Really, bit young isn't it?"
"Not really, 12 is the youngest you can marry here"
"12, your kidding me?"
"I wish I was"
Robin sighed.
An hour and a half passed, the titans now all dressed for a wedding, Beast Boy was getting fed up with suits. James was ready, and Raven was having the tiara fixed into her hair. Starfire sat on the edge of her seat, smiling. This was the first time she'd been to a wedding, since she was a little girl. Robin sat waiting, fist clenched. Faith ran her fingers across the back of his hand trying to relax him. But it just made it worse. Cyborg was feeling proud and sad. He was proud because his little sis was getting married, but the fact also upset him, as he would lose her. Arella was also sat waiting.
"Faith" Sara said "Raven wants you"
Faith nodded and went to see her friend. She was taken aback by how beautiful Raven looked. "Oh My God Raven!"
Raven sighed looking at her dress. It was long and cream, with 3 layers, one being sparkly netting. There were cream roses on the front of the dress, and round the arms of the vest top. Her hair was down, with a cream rose tiara slipped in. (Want a picture of it, also go to my profile and click on the link, it's the dress I modelled Raven's on, her hair is the same to, but purple)
"You look amazing"
"Thanks Faith, I don't feel it"
"Don't blame you hun"
Raven slowly walked out. Into the hallway. Then she saw him, leaning against the wall ,again. Robin.
"Hello" she said.
He turned to look at her, His eyes popped out there sockets. She was perfect, and not his. That made him angry "so your marrying James I see?" he snapped, he didn't mean to but the anger was to much.
"Yeah I am, since I'm standing here in a wedding dress with 20 minuets to go" Raven snapped back, hurt by the way he was talking.
"I can't believe you are doing this, you have a duty as a titan!" Robin hissed
"Robin we talked about this, I have to" Her voice was bitter, but calmer than his.
"So you're just turning your back on us after everything, is that it?"
"Robin.. No that's not it at all…"
He cut her of "What is it then Raven?!"
"I'm doing this for my people!" Raven hissed.
"No, your turning your back on us, on me, your being a child!" He growled
"A Child me?!" Raven glared "At least I'm not being selfish, all you care about is the team I need to do this for my home!"
Robin returned the glare "Selfish? If I'm selfish than so are you!"
"Maybe I am, but I know how to cope with jealousy!"
"Jealousy, What?!"
"Yeah you heard me, I think your Jealous, I think you wish you were marrying me instead of James!" Venom dripped of every word.
"Your crazy, Why would I be in love with you? Why would anyone love you? Your creepy"
That hurt her, tears filled her eyes. "Take that back!" Raven spat at him.
"Make me!"
She cleaned her fists, "I hate you!"
"I hate you to!"
Some of the tears over flowed, slowly rolling down her cheeks. "Why don't you just go die, no one wants you!" She said that just to hurt him and it worked. But he stayed angry.
"I never want to see you again, if you walk in there and marry James, just don't speak to me ever!"
"What if I don't want to speak to you ever again?!"
"Well no one said you had to!"
"Well I don't!"
"Fine Don't!"
"Fine" Her voice was quite.
"Fine!"
"FINE!" Raven yelled unable to control it any longer.
She ran for the door, up the stairs, in to her room, slamming the door behind her. Raven almost leaped for her bed. Grabbing her pillow, she let the tears come, she cried and cried and cried. She wasn't going to hold back her emotions anymore.
