paula2284:Thanks for the review.

di-just-me: Thanks for the review, no it's ok, it's not rude. An aquarae fan would want to know why there isn't an aquarae scene in the next chapter.

718darkstar: That's just a clown part of the circus. Thanks for the review.

Save-a-broom-ride-the-player: I'm going to make the explanation short and simple now. They drowned the villains and Lightning strike a bolt aiming the water which conducted the villains with it. Is this ok? Not confusing anymore right? I'll try expanding "the creepy master guy" lol! Thanks for the review!

Ishii-Sen-Ling: If she is kidnapped for so long, they'd miss christmas so you know... Thanks for the review.

Valeria89: Thanks, I'm glad that it's not too bad. And the praisings, they're not a lie. lol!Thanks again, for reveiwing the first 3 chapters!

And I apologize for not naming the previous chapters; sorry I didn't have enough time to work on the names. And I did this in a rush so bear with a few mistakes I made, Ok? I was so caught up in Naruto-arena.

Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 14: Crossing the line

The teens returned to the tower when night falls. As soon as they arrive the tower, Speedy snuck off to Raven's room instead of going to his. He knocked on her door and as soon as she opened the door he pushed against her body and kissed pecked her lips. He put too much force in the kissing part that he pushed her all the way to her bed.

The dark titan has her eyes widened, shocked! She was now lying below him on her bed. She whacked his head really hard and that was when let go, blushing. "I'm sorry, it's all a sudden to you since you open your door and I... uh, yeah," he said sheepishly.

Raven got up from her bed and walk across the windows. "Speedy," she turn back to crash into him. "I think things are going too fast," she told him, and his smile faded and turned upside down. "You understand right?" she asked, lifting both her eyebrows.

"Yeah, totally," he said in a sighing tone.

"Good, I don't want this to happen again," she said in a serious tone with a serious face.

"Sure, I understand that you don't want to cross the line yet," the archer said playfully and drags her into his arms and planned to press his lips against her but she blocked his mouth with her hands and said. "I'm dying for a moment to myself,"

"Uh yeah sure," he said, knowing it was a reject. 'How could she reject?! Me?! There are lots of girls wanting me out there! She should know what she sees in front of her!' Speedy scowled in his head.

"Uh, I want a moment to myself," she repeated, paraphrasing myself.

"Yeah, night then," he gave her one last kiss on her cheeks and left the door.

'I think I made a huge mistake! I have no idea when I'm going to be free from his kisses,' Raven sighed as she finished her thought and rubbed her temples and snuggled under the blanket.

The next day

Everyone other than Robin, gathered in the living room, Beastboy kept annoying Terra by asking how she got out of her tomb and why she ignored him. But she still kept it a mystery from him which is killing him.

"Terra would you just tell him?" Raven snapped furiously at the teenage titan.



Terra stifled a laugh. "It's fun to keep secrets from him," Starfire giggled as well. "Friend Beastboy looked so puppy-ish!"

"Beastboy?" Aqualad called, trying to take some action in shutting him up. "You said you guys crash here earlier to decorate,"

"Oh yeah! Christmas is drawing close!" he exclaimed and pulled Terra with him to the decorations and started decorating.

Just when Aqualad was about to sit beside Raven, Speedy got a head start. His archery friend sat down beside her and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. And without having enough time to fume on that, Starfire appeared beside him and shouted. "Friend Aqualad! It is glorious to spend the time together with you and the Titans of the East in the Tower that is located in the East!"

"Uh, yeah sure. It's not the first time you mention," the atlantean said, with a hint of irritation. The alien princess is really moving on his nerves and he's kind of annoyed by now.

"Bird boy freaked out last night," Speedy started. "His face is so creepily pale!"

"Robin does acted kinda weird last night, but let's just forget it or he'll get mad when we mention about it," Bumblebee joined in.

"Boy wonder never speaks of his past, does he?" Cyborg said as he took a seat beside the bee titan and draped his arm around her shoulder.

"Hey guys? Hellooooooooo we ran out of mistletoes," Beastboy shouted, from across the room.

"How many mistletoes are you planning to decorate in this whole room?!" Cyborg yelled back.

"Mistletoes! Are the joy of Christmas!" Beastboy countered back, gesturing to his blonde girl friend.

"I do agree! We must decorate more of this mistletoe!" the alien said as she squealed in delight and flew off to get more mistletoe from who knows where.

"Um, Speedy can you excuse me for a minute?" Raven said, trying to avoid him cos he's always trying to make out with her and she's tired of it. She stood up and left the room. Aqualad, sensing her emotions right now, ran after her.

"Hey Raven," he called out after him. "So, what's with you and Speedy?"

"Haven't you known already?" she looked at him, trying to read his thoughts. To her surprise, he shook his head. "We're... um, he asked me to be his girl friend, and I said yes,"

"So, you two are going out?" he asked, his voice stinging, sounding hurt.

Raven didn't reply so that's a yes. Then his gift for her is... he can't give her that gift anymore, can he. He doesn't want to be a back stabbing friend. "Congratulations then," he said, trying to hold his eyes from leaking tears but by doing that, it causes his voice to tremble.

"What is to be congratulated? I don't think our relation would even last a week," Raven said angrily. "He's a playboy, he can't resist to girls. If he find someone better than me, that's the end of it,"



What she said seems like a comfort to him, he felt better when she told him about the relationship ending part. "So you're frustrated now?" he asked, his voice turning back to normal. She nodded, and he pulled her by her wrist and said. "Let's go do something fun," she couldn't protest and was pulled away by the atlantean at all cost.

End of chapter 13

Sorry for the shortness, at least I have an Aquarae stuff, right? The next chapter will be mainly focus on them. Speedy, Starfire included, only in a few scenes cos they're needed in those scenes. Sorry Robin fans, he didn't make an appearance in this chapter cos he's on his bed, after last night's circus show.

See y'all then!
