Chapter 14: date night

It had been a few days since Danny and the Titans had run into the ghost of Sam. Ever since then Danny had been secluded into his room only coming out to eat. In all honesty the kid was upset. He was angry that the world had taken his best friend and turned her into a villain,. He was also heartbroken that she had turned on him basically.

Raven somewhat understood this since she had been broken hearted before by someone that she thought she could trust.

Right now she was arguing with her love emotion that was going to tell her to make a move and try and comfort him. Surprisingly, she was backed up by sadness said that if she didn't someone else might and they would lose him. As much as she didn't want to admit it she did like Danny.

At the moment Raven stood outside Danny's room door. She took a deep breath to calm her nerves and then knocked.

Danny opened the door and asked, "Yes?"Raven sighed and said, "Danny we need to talk."

Danny raised an eyebrow and motioned for the girl to enter. As the young woman mystic entered the room she was surprised to find that Danny had a lot of weapons hung up on the side wall. On the other side was a desk that had some machinery on it and a picture of Danny in his human form plus a few others.

"What is it you needed to talk about?" Danny asked.

Raven answered, "Danny you need to get out of this funk. It isn't healthy."

Danny sighed and siad, "I'm just upset okay. Me and Sam were friends for years. She then turns into some villain and pretty much turns her back on me after I admit that I don't' feel for her. You don't know what it feels like to have someone you trusted betray you."

Raven removed her hood and said, "I do actually. We all do."

Danny looked at her confused.

"A while back," Raven explained, "We met a girl named Terra. She became a part of our team though she had issues controlling her powers. When we found out she became scared and left. A while later she came back. The only problem was that she was working for one of our greatest enemies. She betrayed us…all of us. In the process she also tore Beast Boy's heart out."

Danny was about to say something, but Raven stopped him and continued.

"As far as heartbreak goes I had mine ripped out. I met a guy by the name of Malchior. He said that he was cursed by a dragon named Rorek and bound to the pages of a book.. After a while I wound up falling for him. When I released him from the book I found out that he switched the titles and found that Malchior was the dragon. Me and the others managed to beat him, but the heartbreak was still there."Danny was speechless.

After regaining his thoughts Danny said, "I'm sorry. I didn't know."Raven nodded. Danny then stopped for a moment and said, "Hey Raven…is there by any chance you know how to teleport somewhere?"Raven raised an eyebrow in confusion before Danny took out the flier that they got from those gothic teens in France.

"You want to go with me?" Danny asked, "It would better if I had someone to help bail me out in case…what was her name again? Oh Debra tries to hit on me again."

Inside Raven's head Love yelled, "Oh my gosh! He's asking you on a date! This is so awesome! Say yes! Say yes!"

Raven shook her love struck emotion's voice from her head and said, "I'd love to go with you."

Danny nodded and said, "Be sure to have your Rachael disguise. The last thing we need is for more gothic fan boys trying to get you to marry them beyond the veil of death…I have got to stop watching those supernatural horror shows."

Raven just rolled her eyes and said, "I would like to go. I mean we both did get an invitation."

Danny nodded and said, "I'll see you tonight then around 7."

Raven gave her rare smile and said, "It's a date."

Danny smiled at the gothic hero as she left his room. Danny then took a human form and went to pick out his outfit for his date.

As Raven walked to her room Happiness and Love were squealing happily as they hugged one another.

"OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH! OH MY GOSH!" Happiness squealed, "I can't believe that you finally got to go on a date with him! You are so going to enjoy this!"

Love giggled herself and said, "Oh this is going to be so cool. Food, dancing, and thent he big moment at the end of the night! Oh this is going to be fun!"

Raven rolled her eyes and tried to fight off the headache that her inner selves were going to cause her if they kept on squealing like they were.

Later 6:58 pm…

Danny stood in front of the mirror on the far edge of his room. He wore basically what he wore during his mission to Paris with his chain necklace around his neck with the sword and scythe pendant around his neck. Danny smirked as he looked at himself.

"You clean up pretty nice," came a female voice.

Danny turned around to see Raven or Rachael wearing what she wore in her trip to Paris only Violet instead of black with a metal studded choker around her neck that had a pendant in the shape of a red tear.

"Whoa," Danny said, "You look pretty good."

Raven felt herself blush slightly at Danny's compliment.

"Shall we go Danny?" Rachael asked.

Danny confirmed by nodding and Raven started chanting. Seals appeared on the ground around the pair and they disappeared in a green flash of light.

A similar flash appeared in Paris just outside of the same place they had gone to listen to the poetry.

Danny raised an eyebrow and said, "That was pretty awesome. By the way how did you manage to get the team to not enter our rooms?"

Rachael answered, "I told them that I was going to meditate and that I shouldn't be disturbed. How did you manage to do it."

Danny looked around nervously and said, "I told them that I was going to wallow in self pity for a couple of hours and that if they didn't want to be hit by incredible waves of depression that I should be left alone."

Rachael looked at him strangely and asked, "They actually bought that?"Danny shrugged and said, "Starfire especially. She said that such waves of depression would cause her people great discomfort."

Rachael shrugged and said, "I guess that works. That is actually one way to get someone off your back for a while."

Danny chuckled and said, "So shall we party?"Rachael shrugged and said, "I never thought I would say this to a party…yeah."

With that the two approached the building and knocked on the door. The visor on the door opened revealing a pair of eyes.

"Do you have an invitation?" the eyes asked.

Danny reached into his jacket and pulled out a flier. The eyes actually seemed to smirk as the little window closed. The sounds of locks being undone were heard before the door opened.

The pair entered the place. They entered the same place that they heard the poetry before Danny walked toward the back of the room where a large cellar door was opened.

The dark pair entered walked through the door into the underground. They found themselves in an old wine cellar. The two looked confused for a second before a familiar voice was heard.

"Glad to see you two could actually come," a voice said.

The pair spun around to see Alucard standing a little ways away.

Danny nodded and said, "What can I say…we couldn't resist the offer.

Alucard smirked before walking over to an old wine barrel. He moved it aside and the sound of rock music could be easily heard.

"Shall we my friends?" the man asked.

Danny and Raven then walked forward past the gothic teen who followed after them pulling the barrel shaped doorway closed.

Danny and Rachael found themselves in a very deep corridor. They followed the long passage until they found a large chamber in the catacombs. There were red and purple flashing lights with loud meta l and heavy metal music. There were a great deal of fake skeletons strung up by the arches and stuff all over the place. Near the right side of the room there was along buffet table with some delicious and disturbing looking food and a big punch bowl with large skull shaped hunk of ice in the middle.

Around the place were Goth members of all shapes and sizes were all over the place.

"Wow," Danny said, "it looks like a huge Goth frat party."Alucard placed his hands on the pair's shoulders and said, "The night is only going to last so long my friends so get down there and enjoy…oh and don't eat anything you don't recognize."

The three went down to join the party. As they did Alucard leaned into Danny's ear and whispered, "You might want to watch out for Debra. When she sets her sight on someone she tends to get them. Just let her down gently because if you do something to hurt my little sister…I will watch you choke on your own blood."

Danny turned paler than his ghost form before he got away from the protective older brother.

Danny ran into Rachael and held out a hand to offer to dance. The girl shrugged and took his hand. The two hit the dance floor.

To both of their surprises they were surprisingly good dancers. They managed to keep in sync with the music and then they were pretty good.

For about ten minutes they were able to dance before a few others started to cut in. a few girls tried to steal away Danny wile a few boys tried to steal away Rachael. After a bit they managed to get away from the crashers. The pair got away from the group and found themselves at the buffet table.

After getting a few snacks they decided to get back into the fray. They danced for much longer this time since they gave death glares to whoever tried to get in the way. They continued for a half hour before Danny backed off for a few minutes.

The pair of dark titans found themselves leaning against a wall.

"For a bunch of Goths," Danny said, "These people sure now how to party."

Rachael sighed and said, "Yeah. Though the party is pointless I have to admit this is pretty fun. Though I don't think I'll be able to take much more dancing."

Danny gave a small snort before he felt something. He turned around to see a pair of red eyes peering at him from behind a corner. A slender arm came out from behind the corner and motioned him to come with a finger.

Danny looked around slightly before he decided to follow her.

Danny found himself in an empty catacomb. There were a few coffins here and there.

"Danny looked around and said, "Hello?"

Suddenly a pair of slender arms wrapped around his shoulders and two soft objects pressed against his back. Danny turned his head to see Debra standing behind him.

"Hey handsome," Debra said, "What brings you down here?"Danny answered, "You invited me remember?"Debra backed away and asked, "Aren't you going to compliment my outfit?"Danny turned around and immediately gained a huge blush.

Debrah was wearing a dark red dress with a black vest over her chest with the skirt ending below her knees and a pair of red heels.

"What do you think cutie?" Debra asked with a smile, "Do I look good?"Danny nodded slightly as he couldn't speak.

"Glad you like," Debra said, "Now then…why don't I show you my way of having fun?"Debra slammed her black colored lips onto Danny's making his eyes widen. The girls tongue infiltrated his mouth and wrapped around his in a fight for dominance. Danny tried to pull back, but his hormones took over and he started to kiss back.

Debra pushed Danny against the wall and removed his jacket feeling his muscles.

Danny continued to smooch the hot Goth woman. At least until he remembered that he was here with someone already. Danny took hold of Debra's shoulders and pushed her away. She looked up at him confused.

"What's wrong?" the girl asked.

"I'm sorry," Danny said, "but I can't do that with you…I'm already here with somebody else."

Danny pushed her away from him and said, "I'm already with Rachael right now, so I can't do that with you right now."Debra looked upset. She had done this before and she had always gotten her man. She was beign rejected by the person she wanted. That…had never actually happened before.

"Danny?"

Danny turned to see Racheal standing near the entrance to the catacomb.

"Rae," Danny said, "This isn't what it looked like."Alucard walked up behind Racheal and said, "Really because it looks like my little sister is trying to steal you away from your date."Danny looked at the man blankly and said, "Okay it is what it looks like."

Debra looked annoyed and said, "He actually rejected me big brother."Alucard looked surprised and said, "Really? You must either have a strong will or you really do only have eyes for her."Danny shrugged and said, "It's mostly the second I think."Debra suddenly got an idea and said, "Really? Then prove it. Giver her a kiss."Danny blushed and so did Rachael.

Danny walked over to the blushing girl and kissed her cheek.

Alucard scoffed and said, "Come on man! Giver her a real one."Danny blushed again and then move slowly forward and kissed Rachael. The woman slowly started to kiss back. The girl admitted Danny was a really good kisser. Danny found Rachael was really inexperienced this.

When they broke apart they looked at each other with slightly flustered looks.

Debra huffed and said, "Fine."Debra walked away from the pair of flustered teens.

"Nice way to let her down easy," Alucard said.

With that the older man left.

Rachael finally broke the silence and said, "You're a pretty good kisser you know."

Danny blushed and said, "Thank you. You're pretty good too."

There was another silence before Danny asked, "Shall we get back to the party then?"

Rachael nodded and they got back to the party. Apparently the fact that they were a couple got around fast as they weren't interrupted this time. They also didn't have to worry about Debra for the rest of the night when they saw her dancing with some guy with a large purple Mohawk.

Midnight…

Danny and Rachael and the other members of the group were walking out of the cellar and into the streets to return to their homes

Danny and Rachael were the last to leave.

"I had to admit I enjoyed this party," Rachael said with a small smile.

"Same," Danny said, "so shall we head home."

Raven did the same chant and the three disappeared in a flash of green light.

They reappeared on top of titans tower.

"Well," Rachael said, "I'm going to bed."

Danny nodded before grabbing her shoulder and said, "Wait…I have to ask…about earlier…"Rachael turned to Danny and asked, "When you kissed me?"

Danny nodded and said, "Yeah… the thing is…"Rachael turned to Danny and said, "You like me don't you?"

Danny shrugged and said, "Yeah."Rachael sighed and said, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like you too."Danny looked at her surprised and said, "How did you know?"

Rachael went back into Raven mode and said, "It helps when you're able to read a person's mind. I've sensed it since I first saw you. I was reluctant since my first heart break."

Danny placed his hand on her shoulder and said, "I think I can understand that. My first girlfriend was using me just to make her boyfriend jealous."Raven wrapped her arms around Danny's neck and said, "I guess we should make it official now huh?"Danny thought for a second before his hands shined bright blue and formed a necklace with a pendant in the shape of an orb that her a raven made up of light green crystal.

Raven took the necklace and placed the jewelry around her neck.

"Thank you Danny," Raven said.

In her head Love was ranting, "Come on kiss him already! He obviously wants you now kiss him dang it!"

Raven finally had enough of her emotion being an annoyance and leaned in and kissed Danny. The pair of dark titans embraced as the full moon peeked out from the clouds above.

Cut! Okay I figured I would o a not so crazy combat chapter. I'm still not that good at romantic moments, but I had to put that in somewhere. Anyway the two are now a couple and things are going to get crazy next chapter with a family reunion. Which family…you'll figure it out. Okay bye.
