*Ok, so when I asked wat u thought about the whole babs/star thing, most of you wanted them to end up being friends. Which they will be, after a little, discussing... :)
Starfire shot her a look of bewilderment. "But... you are so much older. How could you...?"
Babs rolled her eyes. "It's only a three year age difference, FYI, and what's so hard about seeing us date? I'm almost exactly like you."
"Please, I cannot find the connection... how are we so similar? Are you also from Tamaran?"
"No, but think about it. We're both tall, have green eyes, red hair, and toned skin. We both fight crime, and... we both love Dick."
Starfire began to see the similarities, when she processed the last similaritie. "YOU are in love with ROBIN?" Starfire began to panic. If Batgirl has dated Robin before, and she still loves him, does that not mean that Robin loves her back? But Robin said he loves me... actually, he said he THINKS he is in love with me. What if he really loves Barbara?
Seeing the distressed look on Starfire's face, she softened up. "No! Not like that... anymore... if anything, now he's like a little brother to me! I do love him, with all my heart, and I'm sure he still loves me as a sister. He is in love with you Starfire. And I'm guessing you love him back?"
"With all of my being, I do."
"Hey! You're not supposed to say that till the wedding!" Babs joked, starting to re-warm up to Star. Both girls giggled. They traded stories of their adventures, and all was well with the both of them. Now, over with the others...
"BEASTBOY! I SWEAR TO AZAR! IF YOU DON'T GET THIS THING OFF OF MY HANDS IN THE NEXT TWO MINUTES, I WILL PERSONALLY SEND YOU TO THE PITS OF TARTAROUS AND DON'T THINK I CAN'T! I AM HALF DEMON AND FRIENDS WITH WONDERWOMAN, SO I CAN PUT YOU THERE!" As you've probably guessed, that was Raven. Beastboy had again, glued a videogame controler to her hands. But this time, he had used gorilla glue. It wasn't coming off any time soon.
"Aww, come on Rae! It'll be fun! You'll love it! Or do you just not wanna play cause you think I'll beat you?"
Raven glared at him for a moment, then said, "Bring it on!" Everyone was a little shocked at her wording, until she explained, "Sorry, I normaly wouldn't agree to this, but brave and happy are having a party in my head. Litterally." Everyone laughed, as she sat down to play. It was a racing game, and Raven was clueless. Beastboy and Cyborg took off from the starting line, while Raven stayed behind. How the heck do you work this thing? she thought, and she was surprized to get an answer.
Hold down the green button. That's your gas petal. And before you ask, yes, this bond thing works both ways, so... yea. Raven complied to Robin's instructions, and found herself slowly inching forward. Good, now turn to your left, right about... NOW!"
But there's nothing over there!
Just trust me! Raven did what she was told, and was shocked to find herself in the lead. She was so far ahead, that neither of the boys playing with her noticed, thinking she was way behind on her first lap.
Isn't that cheating?
No, it's just a short cut. Cheating is when Beastboy types in all of those codes before playing. They just don't know it exists.
And you do becuase?
In Gotham, I had a lot of free time. Didn't have much to do during the day.
What happened to fighting crime?
We only did that at night. And I didn't become Robin until about a month after living in the manner. So during the day, there wasn't much to do. Quick! Hit the blue button!
Raven did as she was told, and smirked after realizing what it had done. The button had unleased an attack on the unsuspecting Beastboy, causing him to crash into Cyborg.
"Seriously Grass stain! Stop trying to help your girlfriend get a lead, and get your but outa my car!"
"I wouldn't have crashed into you if you hadn't thrown that potion at me!"
"What the heck are you talking about?" Both boys went into shock, as the word WINNER flashed on Raven's screen.
"Wa? how... you? Dude! No fair! How the heck did you do that?"
Beastboy saw Robin smirk before turning to face the other way, pretending to be busy getting a waterbottle. "DUDE! You so helped her! That's not fair!" Robin turned back, the face of innocence.
"What are you talking about Beastboy? How could I have helped Raven? I was all the way over here, and the controler is glued to her hands."
"Dude! What about that whole mind link thingy? He coulda sent you cheats!"
"Robin's not an empath, so how could he have?" Raven asked innocently. Beastboy stumbled off, grumbling to himself. As soon as Beastboy wasn't looking, the two friends had a discreet high five behind their backs.
"I saw that." said a smirking Tim. "So how does that empathy link work anyway?" as Raven explained to Tim how she journeyed into Robin's mind, Bee came over to talk to Robin.
"We better be heading out." she said. "I think the twins are getting tired, along with the rest of us." She pointed over at the nine year old twins, half asleep on the couch. "We gotta get back to Steel City. See y'all around?"
"Yea. We'll have to do somthing like this again sometime. Well, minus Batman and a truth spell." Bee smiled, and went over to Cyborg.
"See you around Sparky, she said, kissing him on the cheek."
"Yea... see ya..." He was almost floating. Once the Titans East were gone, it was relatively quiet. The girls all talked while Babs braided Starfire's hair. Beastboy and Cyborg went back to video games, Beastboy repeatedly winning, Cyborg to focused on Bee. He would mumble "She kissed me!" every now and then.
Tim walked over to Richard. "Seriously dude, acting camp? You could've won an emmey from that little performance! That must've been one heck of a camp!"
Dick smirked. "Well actually, they didn't really teach us that much. Most of the acting skills I've gotten I owe to the clowns at Haley's... That's what being a performer does to you I guess. But Bruce doens't need to know that." They both smiled.
"So, what was on that CD that Beastboy slipped you?" he asked. Now it was Tim's turn to smirk.
"Proof that you should be an actor. And Batman blackmail." Richard smiled at Tim. Now if he could just talk to Starfire...
He walked over to the girls, who were still gossiping, Starfire's hair completely braided now. "Uh, Star? Could I talk to you for a second?" Starfire nervously got up, seeing Babs discreetly wink at her. Good luck. She thought, seeing her little brother take Starfire to the other side of the room.
**Gonna end it there. Sorry! And just to let you know... since all good things must come to an end, the next chapter will probably be the LAST one. :_(. Sad I know, but it had to end somewhere! Maybe a sequel will be coming up... I don't know! Thank you to all of you reviewers and readers, and I hope you enjoy the ending! :)
