A/N: I have been watching Raven's Home as I am learning spanish and it is one of my daily shows I watch for my listening practise. I have really noticed this watch through that Raven and Chelsea are really close constantly and I think they would be fantastic together. I read a fanfiction recently where Tess is under the impression they are dating and is shocked to find out they aren't, i'm sorry I can't remember who wrote it but that is what I based this on. If people like this story I can make it multichapter but please be aware I won't update much as I don't find writing enjoyable like I once did. Hope You like this story.

Chapter One - Tess Wrong
Raven and Chelsea sat there kids down that Saturday afternoon after they had called a family meeting.
"I didn't do anything!" Booker said as Nia was looking at him accusingly
"No-one is in trouble, we need to tell you something, Chelsea and I are going to have to pretend to be a couple for a few weeks," Raven said nervously.
"What why?" Nia asked confused
"A man asked me out on a date, he put me on the spot so I accidentally told him I can't as I live with my girlfriend, he's been bugging me for weeks it just slipped out" Chelsea replied embarrassed.
"She was never the best with not getting tongue-tied" Raven replied, "What do you all think?" Raven said knowing their children had to be okay with it or they wouldn't do it even if it was just pretending.
Before anyone had a chance to speak, the door opened and Tess walked in spinning a basketball in her hand.
"TESS GIRL, have you ever heard of knocking, we are having a private conversation here," Raven said. Tess stopped walking and looked at the people she considered her second family.
"Oh yo what did I miss?" the girl said sitting on the arm of the sofa where Nia was sat.
"Mum and Aunt Rav are going to pretend to be a couple so my mum doesn't have to go on a date with some man" Levi replied.
Tess jumped up as if she had been pricked with a pin "Wait what?" she said
"it's fine Tess, there are same-sex couples these days, its nothing odd," Chelsea said, misunderstanding the girls shock.
"No, I don't mean...wait...I'm confused...you two aren't a couple?" Tess said looking at the two women and shocking them into silence.
"No...why...you have thought all this time we are a couple?" Chelsea asked surprised.
"Yes...I thought it was just known so no one mentioned it" Tess replied trying to come to terms with the fact they weren't a couple.
"Why would you think that?" Raven asked confused
"You do everything together" Tess replied
"Duh we live together" Raven replied
"And you are always hugging or holding hands or dancing or close to each other" Tess went
"We have been friends a long time that is all" Chelsea replied biting her lip.
"And you call each other sweetheart or darling or sweetie and say you love each other...what else was I meant to think..." Tess finished
"She has a point" Booker went on.
"It still makes no sense, have you ever seen us kiss... no because we haven't so how you got to that conclusion" Raven laughed nervously trying to hide her feelings.
"A lot of adults don't kiss in front of their kids...it's not that odd" Levi replied with a smile.
"Plus you share a room..." Nia went on, thinking that must have confused Tess and given her the wrong idea.
"Well that's as we are lacking on a room here...Tess we are best friends...nothing more" Chelsea replied sadly even if she knew for her feelings were there.
"Yes Tess, we should have made that clear to begin with, we didn't want anyone to come to that conclusion" Raven went on, all the kids fell silent as if they were hiding something.
"What is it?" Chelsea asked them
"You do realise the entire school thinks it right?" Booker asked them surprised they were so oblivious.
"WHAT?," the woman said in unison.
"Yeah, Sienna asked me which one of my mums was picking us up the other day, and other kids have said similar to me before" Nia admitted. Honestly, it didn't upset her, and she saw them both as good as her mums so she never corrected them.
"People in my year think it too" Levi finished
"And Grandma seemed a bit confused when I told her you weren't home last week as you were on a date with some man you met in the mall" Nia carried on
"Oh for goodness sake, you can't be friends with anyone these days without people getting the wrong idea" Chelsea sighed.
"You two act like an old married couple constantly, even if you don't realise it," Booker said not seeing how they were so blind to it.
"Well if people want to think it fine, but this is just to get this guy Chelsea doesn't like off her back, it's not real," Raven told them as they all looked at her as if she was fooling herself. Suddenly Raven stopped still wide-eyed as her mind was taken into a vision.
Her and Chelsea were sitting on the sofa in the flat, and leaned forward and kissed each other on the lips before Raven was taken back to reality, trying but failing to hide her smile.
"What did you see?" Nia asked
"Oh, just the guy Chelsea knows thinking we are telling the truth and he says he will leave her alone for now on" Raven lied knowing she couldn't tell her the truth. She looked at Chelsea who looked at her knowing she was lying, but why she didn't know.
