Chapter 5: Ball Shopping
The titans gathered into the living room that Saturday morning waiting for Robin to tell them what they were about to do. The time was 7:00am and Raiden was still asleep. Robin looked at his teammates and noticed that they were all half asleep, but he had to get them up early for a reason.
He cleared his throat, "Titans, do you know why I woke all of you up this morning?"
"No." said all the titans except Raven.
"Well there's a ball that's being held today by a dear friend of mine…Bruce Wayne." Robin explained to them.
"So what's the bat up to this time?" Cyborg asked.
"Nothing…he just invited us to be there at 8:00 tonight."
"Dude? Then why did you wake us up this early?!" BB whined.
"Because he wants us there this morning and we have to buy some formal clothes to attend."
"Hahahahahaha!" BB laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" Robin asked.
"Dude, Raven in a dress, get real!" BB laughed some more.
Raven looked at him annoyed by his comment towards her. "I can do formal." She replied.
Starfire looked at her and passed a big grin across her face. "Ohhhh! This means a trip to the mall of shopping this morning!" Star yelled in joy.
"Yes Star, a trip to the mall." Cy said. "Wait Robin…"
"What Cyborg?"
"Where's the kid gonna be?" Cyborg asked.
All of a sudden Robin's face dropped and turned white. "I completely forgot about Raiden!"
"She can just come with us and stay in the guest's lodging room." Raven suggested.
Robin looked at her surprised and smiled at her. "You're right, why didn't I think of that?" He said as he walked up to BB and Cyborg.
"Hey Robin? How much do you want to bet that Raven goes dress up like its Halloween?" BB said.
"I won't bet with you because she probably will." Robin laughed to himself.

At the mall the titans just walked in noticing that there was barely anyone in the there because it was so early. Robin decided what the plan was going to be for all five of them. "Okay team it's eight o'one right now and we need to be in Gotham at eleven o'clock. So what we're going to do is split up, of course for boys and girls. Raven and Star meet us at the food court an hour from now with your clothes, shoes, etc." The girls left the boys and went about their shopping, "Okay guys time to get classy."

Starfire wanted to go into a store that displayed bright colors so Raven followed behind her. "Oh Raven!" Star yelled.
"Yeah Star?" Raven replied.
"This will look cute on me yes?" Star asked as she held this rainbow colored frilled dress in front of her.
Raven's eyes grew big at the sight of it. "Um…sure Star…but you might want to tone it down a little bit."
Star looked at the dress again and said, "Maybe you are right. I would not want to look like a blang horg to Robin."
"No you wouldn't." Raven said as Starfire went to look for another dress.
"Raven! After I find my dress shall I look for yours also!" Star yelled from across the store. As soon as she said that Raven ran out of the store into the next one to pick her own dress.
"Star's going to make me look like a fool if I don't find a dress fast." Raven said as she looked around at her selections. "So those boys think I can't do formal huh? Well I'll show them a thing or two about being classy." Raven spotted a dress that caught her eye right off the back without her thinking twice about it. "This dress is beautiful." The dark girl said as she took it to the check-out counter to purchase it.
"On a big date tonight?" the clerk behind the counter asked her.
"No…just a ball." she replied back to him. "Hmm…I hope Robin will love this." Raven thought shaking her head, "Did I just think that?!"
"Gonna be fun I bet."
"I hope it will be." "Did I think that?!" Raven still thought to herself.
"That will be $79.99." Raven's face suddenly dropped.
The clerk laughed at the expression on her face and said, "But…since you're so cute and a titan, I'll give you a discount. Let's say $59.99, how's that?"
"Thanks a lot…?"
"Oh Ben…my name's Ben."
"Well Ben, thanks." Raven said as she walked out the store to head for the shoe store.

Robin, Cyborg, and Beastboy all went to the same store. "Dude look at that tux!" BB yelled as he looked at the dark dark green tux that was displayed on the wall.
"What about it?" Robin asked.
"That's the tux I'm getting!" BB replied back.
"Well you can get that tux and I'll just get me a regular black and white one." Cyborg said.
"How are you getting into a tux anyway?" BB asked.
"I'm not going as Cyborg to that ball. I'm going as Victor Stone!" Cyborg yelled in excitement.
"Well I'm getting the original black." Robin said as he walked toward the rack of black tuxedos. BB got the tux he wanted and headed to the counter.
"Good afternoon sir." the lady behind the counter asked him.
"Fine and you, my beautiful blonde." BB replied to her.
"Aren't you the charmer." she said sarcastically while rolling her eyes toward his remark.
Robin came up behind Beastboy with his tux in his hand, "Stop harassing the clerk BB it's rude."
"I'm not harassing anyone! I was just giving her a compliment!"
The clerk took a closer look at Robin, "Robin?"
"Yes, that's my name." He said as he looked at the girl and noticed she looked familiar. "Karen?"
"Yeah!" the girl yelled as she came around the counter giving him a hug.
"Sorry for not calling you." Robin said as he put his tux on the counter also. Karen now got back behind the counter to check the two titans out.
"That's okay. My phone got disconnected anyway." she replied while giving them their receipt for their purchase.
"I'll guess I'll see you later then." Robin said as he waved and left the counter.
"Dude! You know that girl?!" BB asked.
"Yes…I met her in the grocery store the other day."
"Man! Hey…where's Cyborg?"
Cyborg came out one of the dressing rooms as Victor Stone with the tux he wanted on, "How do I look guys?" He flexed in his two friends' direction.
"That looks great!" Robin said, BB didn't say anything because he was concentrated on the fact that Robin knew the clerk.
"Robin? Wouldn't Star get upset if she knew you were cheating on her?" BB said.
"What? I'm not going out with Starfire!" Robin yelled hot with anger.
"She'd get mad also if you keep denying her." Cyborg pitched in as he walked to the dressing room to get out of the tux and purchase it.
Robin was turning red now because his anger was rising, "Go to hell! She's not and will never be my…" All of a sudden someone cut him off.
"Robin!" Starfire screamed as she flew at him giving him a hug and him hugging her back. All of a sudden both Beastboy and Cyborg laughed out loud.
Robin looked at them annoyed and looked at Starfire, "Hey Star. Where's Raven?"
"I do not know…the last time I saw her was in the rainbow store."
"Ugh! Where can she be?!" Robin said to himself frustrated. "Did you get all the stuff you need for the ball Star?"
Starfire smiled at Robin, "Of course I did and you will not see until the ball."

Raven finally got all the things she needed for the ball and headed back to the store where she left Starfire. When she got there she looked everywhere in the store and noticed that the alien princess wasn't in there. "Great! Just what I need. I guess I'll just go to the food court to find Robin and the others. If I had to say, she's probably already there with them." Raven thought to herself leaving the store. As she left and headed in the direction of the food court, she felt someone tap her on the shoulder which caused her to jump.
"Hahahahahaha!" the voice laughed.
"That's not funny Aqualad." Raven said as she turned around to face him.
"Well, I was calling your name but you wouldn't answer!" Aqualad laughed out.
"What are you doing here anyway?" she asked him.
"Well its Speedy's birthday and I need to get him a present."
"It's Speedy's birthday and you all didn't say anything?" They now were walking together towards the food court.
"Well, he said he didn't want anything big and you know how Star can get carried away."
"Well, me and the others are getting ready for this ball in Gotham." Raven said as they came into the food court.
"That's cool. Soooo…anything new going down?"
"Why? Do you know something I don't?"
All of a sudden Aqualad started to laugh which made her laugh. "I had a feeling you would ask that."
Robin spotted the two of them coming and laughing, "There she is. Why is she with Aqualad though?" Robin thought to himself. He waved in their direction while they waved back. They approached the table the friends were seated and sat down as well.
"Where did you go?" Robin asked Raven.
"Let's just say, I found the dress I wanted." All of a sudden all the guys, including Aqualad, laughed at her remark making her upset.
"Raven you didn't say you were wearing a dress!" Aqualad laughed.
All of a sudden she teleported to the T-car and put her bags in the trunk. Back at the food court the boys were still laughing but Robin suddenly stopped when he noticed she was no longer in sight. "Hey guys I'm going to meet Raven at the T-car. Meet us over there after you all eat; it's nine-fifteen, we have to pick up Raiden and leave for Gotham at ten o'clock." Robin dished out commands as he left for the mall's exit.

Back at the T-car Raven sat in the back and thought to herself, "Dumb asses! Wait until they see me at that ball, they're going to look like the jackasses they really are!" Suddenly there was a knock on the window and she turned to see that it was Robin, but she kept the doors locked.
"Raven. Unlock the door." he told her.
"Why should I?"
"Look I'm sorry for what happened back there. Can we just talk?"
Raven looked at Robin who was standing outside the car. She thought about it for awhile before unlocking the door and scooting over to let him sit down.
"Hey!" Robin said while letting a big smile come across his face.
Raven looked at him and just grinned, "What is it Robin?"
"You know we were just fooling around right? You know you're my best friend."
"Yeah, so?"
"Yeah so…you should be able to forgive me faster than anyone else." Robin said giving her another smile.
Raven smiled back at him and gave him a hug, "I guess you're right because if it was Beastboy who came out here, he would've been sent flying back into that mall."
Robin laughed loudly. All of a sudden the same growing feeling came over the two of them. "Damn!" both of them yelled as they looked at each other again this time smiling.
"I hope you bought something we'll both like." Robin said
"Don't I always." Raven replied. Then both of them covered their mouths just figuring out what they just said.
"Did you say something?" Raven asked while turning away from Robin.
"Nope nothing, did you?"
"Not that I know of." Raven said as the rest of the team came to the car.
Robin looked at Cyborg and BB and said, "Don't you two have something you want to say to Raven?"
The two boys looked at each other and then at Raven,"Sorry for laughing at you." they both replied at the same time.
Raven smiled at them which made them jump,"Don't worry about it Cy and BB it's cool." she replied sitting back in the seat with a smile on her face.
The two boys got in the car shaking thinking that something bad was going to happen because she was acting too cool about the situation. Robin looked at Raven and gave her a wink in which she winked back at him, leaving the others confused.
