~Titan Tower~
The sun is rising over the horizon, slowly illuminating Titan Tower.
~Starfire's Room~
The sun is reaching Starfire's closed eyes. Starfire wakes up, 'hehehehe. The Sun has arrived.' Starfire gets out of bed. Opens her door, and looks out with an innocent giggly expression.
~Hallway~
Starfire giggles. "The sun has arrived. This glorious day has begun!" Flowers are everywhere in Starfire's mind. Starfire flies off to the living room area in search of Robin.
~Raven's Room~
'The day has arrived. Grrrrrr...' A nearby mirror cracks. Raven turns to the mirror. "Maybe I should just let Starfire have him. These emotions are dangerous and...I do not want to hurt Robin." Raven thinks about Robin and herself. "NO! I'm tired of being alone! Sorry Starfire...Robin's MINE!"
Raven leaves the room and head towards the living room.
~Living Room~
"Rooooobiiiiiiinnnnnn." Starfire looks around with a giddy expression. When she sees that Robin isn't in the living room, she looks disappointed. "Where is he?"
Robin enters the room. Robin with an expression that he is in deep thought, 'Where should I take Starfire today?'
Robin is a little nervous. "Um. Hi Starfire."
"ROBIN!" Starfire rushes to Robin from behind. Puts an arm across Robin's chest, and snuggles closer to Robin's ear. "Today is going to be a special day isn't it?"
Raven, who is behind the couch, sees Robin enter the room. Her heart leaps a bit, before falling as she sees Starfire close to Robin. Jealously rises in Raven. Raven becomes very angry seeing Starfire even touch Robin. 'How DARE she touch MY Robin.' The rising emotion causes Raven's power to shatter a nearby light.
Beast Boy enters the room looking at a hand mirror. "It is so great that this sexy thing every morning." Beast Boy looks all dreamy eyed. Beast Boy then bumps into Raven. "Oh, Hi Raven!" An annoyed Raven turns towards Beast Boy. "Ummmm...everything all right?"
"I'm fine," Raven quickly responded. Raven's powers engulf Beast Boy's mirror, causing it to shatter.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Beast Boy freaks.
"So..." Starfire flies in front of Robin. "Where are we going on this very special day?"
Robin looks nervous. "Um. We are...could you get back to me? I'm still trying to decide." Robin leaves to look at the map.
"Okay! Where ever it is, I'm certain it is special!" Starfire clap her hands and puts it under her chin. Starfire's eyes are closed with a huge smile on her face.
Robin, starring at the map, 'Where to go, where to go...'
Cyborg walks next to Robin. "Still trying to decide where to go?"
"Yeah." Robin looks at the map intently.
"Well, how about the beach?"
"The beach?" Robin looks at Cyborg questioningly.
"Sure. Weather's nice. You could show Starfire what people do at the beach."
"I don't know..." after a few seconds of thought, "okay, I'll...take her to the beach!"
"Alright Robin!" Cyborg slaps Robin in the back. Robin rubs his back where Cyborg hit him. "Don't forget your swimsuit!"
"Swimsuit?" Robin raises an eyebrow.
Starfire flies next to him.
Robin looks at Starfire. "Oh hi Star. So...how does the beach sound to you?"
"The beach?" Starfire looked at Robin questioningly.
"Yeah, the beach...just you and me..."
Starfire's eyes light up. "YES THE BEACH! Anything for MY Robin!"
'My Robin?' Robin has a nervous look on his face. "Ye...yeah." Starfire rushes to her room. She comes back with a small shovel, a bucket, a bag, a towel, and an umbrella. "I'm ready to go to this beach!"
'She's ready already?' "Okay...I guess we'll go...after breakfast!"
-After eating breakfast, both Robin and Starfire head out.
"Oh Robin!" Cyborg hands him some swimming trunks.
"Hehehe...oh yeah, that." Robin, a little red faced, takes quickly takes the trunks and puts in his pocket.
As Starfire and Robin head out the door, Robin notices Raven, who currently has a neutral expression on her face.
'Raven...' Robin contemplates as he exits the room.
Raven looks at them with a mask of indifference. Though inside...filled with jealousy and hate towards Starfire.
~Beach~
'I hope Raven is okay.' Robin thinks while waiting for Starfire to finish changing into her swimsuit.
"I'm ready!" Starfire exits the changing room wearing a red and white- stripped bikini. "Starfire blinks and poses. "What do you think Robin? Is this appropriate attire for the beach?"
'Wow...always knew Starfire was beautiful...' "Um, yeah!" Robin smiles.
"Okay, your turn!"
'Oh great...' Robin walks into the changing room.
-After a few minutes.
Robin walks out. His hands are covering his trunk region with embarrassment. Robin is wearing a red swimming trunk, and his mask (AN: Its Robin. Have to keep his identity secret somehow. ;-)). 'Great, why did I have to take Cyborg's suggestion?'
Starfire stares at Robin. 'He is so attractive without his costume!' "Oh Robin, you look great!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Robin clearly embarrassed. "um...could we head to the sand already?"
"Okay Robin!" Starfire winks. Starfire takes Robin's arm and they head to the sand.
Raven comes out at the back of the changing room. 'Your not going to take my Robin so easily Starfire!' Raven notices Robin. 'Ooo. Cute butt.'
Starfire and Robin set up the umbrella and towel.
Starfire looks around the beach. "I never realized so many people willingly take in unhealthy amount of radiation!"
"Um...yeah. Well, they do have some protection." Robin takes out some suntan lotion. "So, what you do you want to do first Star?" Robin gives a little smile.
"Um...I don't know...how about we go for a swim?"
"Um...I don...ahhhhhh!" Starfire forcibly takes Robin for a swim.
Raven peaks out of another group's umbrella. They are currently sleeping on a tower. "That's MY Robin you are holding Starfire!!!!" Raven's power explodes the umbrella.
The group wakes up. Looks at the umbrella, then at Raven. They freak. "Ahhhhhh!"
Starfire and Robin are splashing each other.
"What a strange activity. It seems mean, yet it is surprisingly fun." Starfire splashes Robin.
-After a few minutes in the water, Robin and Starfire are at the beach, playing in the sand.
"I would like to initiate the construction of a sandcastle!" Starfire looks at the bucket.
"Sure Starfire. Here let me show you." Robin shows Starfire how to make sandcastles.
Starfire and Robin, smiling at each other, working on a sandcastle.
'THIS IS NOT HAPPENING!' Raven, buried in the sand with only her head sticking out (with two kids next to her dumping more sand), uses her power to moves the bucket while Starfire is patting down a mound of sand. The bucket, filled with sand, is dumped on Starfire.
"Ah...huh?" Starfire is stunned by the sudden presence of sand on her. "What happen?"
Robin looks around, sees Raven. 'Oh no.' "Um...sorry Star, I...just had an urge to dump sand on you. Fun isn't it? Hehehe." Robin has a one hand behind his head and laughs nervously.
Starfire looks around. Before she could see Raven, Robin quickly blocks her path.
"Say Star, why not we grab a bit to eat?" Robin looks around to check for Raven. Raven is no longer in the general area.
Starfire looks suspicious, but decided to go along. Starfire smiles, "Okay. Whatever you say Robin!"
Starfire and Robin walk to a nearby food stand. Robin thought about ordering a hotdog, until Starfire reminded him about the hotdog documentary that they watched.
"Oh yeah, that video." Robin losing interest with hotdogs at the moment 'she just had to bring that up,' decided to order chili fries with a coke instead. Starfire shared the fries with Robin.
They sat at a table that is on the boardwalk, and ate their food. 'This is so perfect!' Thought Starfire.
Meanwhile, sitting behind them, obscured by a number of people, is Raven, who is eating a fried chicken leg. Raven stares at Robin and Starfire.
"Oh Robin!" Starfire takes Robin's hand and brings him closer. "What should we do know?"
Raven looks on. Jealously continues to rise.
"Um madam, mind if we sit here?" A man and a woman holding a tray of food are standing next to Raven.
Raven's power destroys a nearby light.
"Nevermind." The man and woman back away from Raven.
After a few more hours at the beach, Robin and Starfire, changed back into their normal clothes, decided to walk a promenade that is near the beach. The sun is going down as it reaches the horizon.
As they were leaving, Raven revealed herself behind the changing room. As Robin and Starfire walked away from the area, Raven moved to a tree.
"Oh Robin! Lets hold hands!" Starfire grabbing Robin's hand.
Raven, seeing Starfire grab Robin's hand, raged with hate. Raven's power got the better of her, and exploded a nearby car. Raven calmed down and looked around. She noticed the destroyed car. "Um...opps?"
"What was that? Starfire asked Robin.
Robin looked around. He saw Raven who quickly hid behind a tree. 'Oh no. Think Robin...before this gets too out of hand!' Robin with fear in his eyes, "Um...that was fireworks! Yeah, fireworks!"
"Oooo Robin, I like Fireworks!" Starfire remember when she and Robin were on the Farris wheel looking at fireworks. Starfire was about to turn around before Robin stopped her.
"Ummm...sorry Starfire. You missed it. Lets continue walking." Robin leading her away.
"Oh." Starfire looked a little down. But quickly brighten seeing that she and Robin were alone.
As the walked to a point, Starfire stopped.
"Star?" Robin asked questioningly.
"Robin...I believe it is customary for the guy to kiss the date?" Starfire looked on, with anticipation in her eyes.
"Oh, um...okay Star." Robin kissed Starfire on the check.
Raven peaks out of a bush. "A world of pain is going to come your way Starfire."
Beast Boy peaks above her. "So, Raven, what are you doing?"
Raven's eyes widen.
Cyborg peaks above Beast Boy. "Yeah Raven, what you doing?"
Raven grabs Beast Boy and Cyborg, "SHHHHHHHH..." Raven then looks at the two. "What are YOU TWO doing here?"
"Um..." Beast Boy is interrupted by Cyborg.
"We were bored. So, we came here. When we saw you we decided to join you. Hehehe." Cyborg giving a nervous laugh.
Beast Boy followed Cyborg with his own nervous laugh.
Raven's raised an eyebrow and was about to speak until Starfire's conversation caught her attention.
Starfire, although a little thrilled with the kiss, she is also a little disappointed. Starfire decided to clarify her intention. "No Robin. I meant, on the lips, like they do in the movies." Starfire's eyes widened. "I heard the tongue is also involved, I want to find out." Starfire started getting closer to Robin.
'Kiss...on lips...tongue...' Robin started to sweat. 'But what about Raven?' Robin took a few steps back as Starfire walked closer.
"Oh no you don't STAR!" Raven in a near whisper, a little louder at the end of her statement, but still low enough so that Robin and Starfire couldn't hear. Raven used her powers to lift a rock and slammed it towards Starfire's head. Starfire and the rock made contact.
"OWWWWW!" Starfire stopped her advancement as rubs her head where the rock made contract. "Where did this come from?"
Robin notices Raven ducking behind a bush. "Um...maybe it was some kids? Hehehe..."
Starfire, suspicious turned around as she heard the rustling.
"Um..." Cyborg was about to comment when Raven turned around, her eyes glowing white. "Never mind."
Robin continues to scratch the back of his head, when he heard a voice that brought considerable anger.
"Well, well, well, nice to see you two lovebirds on this fine evening."
Starfire gasped and quickly turned to Slade.
"Slade!" Robin turned towards Slade.
'SLADE!' Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven thought in unison. They quickly rushed out of their hiding place.
"Cyborg, Beast Boy..." Starfire's voice lowed an octave; her eyes narrowed "Raven. What are you three doing here?"
"Um...baby sitting Cyborg and Beast Boy?" Raven responded as Cyborg and Beast Boy had a nervous expression and waved.
"Perfect. The whole team is here. This is going to make my visit easier." Slade says with confidence that angers Robin even more.
"Whatever you are planning Slade, it won't succeed." Robin spat out.
"Oh it will Robin, you will see. You will all see." Slade reached out and pulled out a spherical device.
"TITANS! G..." Before Robin could finish, the area was engulfed with a blinding light.
Once the light dissipated, Slade was gone.
Robin punched his hand.
"Um...what was that flashy light thingy?" Beast Boy confused.
Cyborg and Robin's eyes widened. "Everyone, back to the tower!"
~Titan Tower~
The computer read out no anomalies and no nanobots.
"He didn't reinfect us with those nanobots that's for sure." Cyborg looking at the results.
"Didn't think so." Robin looked back at the computer before turning around. "I doubt that Slade would do the same trick twice."
"Then what did he do?" Beast Boy asked.
"I have no clue, I'll do some more research on this." Robin walked towards his room.
Beast Boy and Cyborg left the room.
Starfire flew in front of Robin.
"But Robin..."
"I'm sorry Starfire. I'll have to figure out what Slade is doing." Robin said in an apologetic tone.
'I HATE SLADE! HE RUINED MY DAY!' Starfire looked down.
"Don't worry Starfire, I'll make up it to you." Robin gave a reassuring smile.
'I HATE SLADE! HE RUINED MY DAY!' Raven closed her fist, trying to keep her emotions in check. Failing as it caused a nearby computer monitor to crack.
As Robin left, Starfire flew next to Raven in the living room, who has her arms crossed and a slightly annoyed look on her face.
"How dare you try to ruin my date with Robin! Friend!" Starfire said in a somewhat angry face.
"Like you ruined my date with Robin? Friend!" Raven shot back in her slightly annoyed voice.
"Well...at least we spent the time together having fun then watching some stupid movie. Hmph." Starfire crossed her arms, and turned away from Raven.
"At least I don't run away every time someone 'better' comes along, or because of an overgrown zit." Raven shot back.
Starfire closed her fist trying to hold her anger. 'Well, at least I can show emotion without destroying half the city!"
This hit a nerve with Raven. "Maybe you should've stayed ugly. That way, Robin would realize how pointless you are!"
Starfire's anger grew, but tried to stay calm. "I do not wish to harm you Raven."
"Nor do I Starfire." Cat ears and a cattail appeared on Raven, "which means you have to accept the fact that Robin is mine." Raven gave a small smile.
Cat ears and a cattail also appeared on Starfire. "Grrrrrrrraaaaaahhhh!" Starfire's eyes glow and lunges at Raven. She shoots at Raven with her eyes while Raven blocks it and moves out of the way.
"...reoowww..." Raven uses her power to pick up a chair and throws it towards Starfire.
"RAOW!" Starfire shots at Raven, causing random explosions.
"...ROAW..."
"REOW!" More random explosions.
"REOWWWW!"
"REEEEOW!" Raven picks up a long couch, and bashes Starfire with it.
Robin is walking back towards his room. More random explosions can be heard and cat noises can be heard. 'What is Slade up to?' Robin stops and raises and eyebrow. "Is that cats I hear?" Robin's expression returns to normal and continues walking. "Probably just Beast Boy." The door closes behind Robin.
Raven and Starfire continue fighting when Cyborg enters the room. "Hey, whoa, WHOA. Girls!"
Starfire and Raven stop. Starfire is holding Raven by the neck with her left hand. Her right arm is pulled back with her hand glowing. A table is held above Starfire with Raven's power. Starfire's eyes that are glowing started to return to normal. Raven's eyes that were glowing white also began to return to normal. Both slowly turned to towards Cyborg.
The table that was black due to Raven's using her powers, also started to dissipate. This caused it to fall onto Starfire. "OW!"
"Look girls, I know Robin is a great guy and all, but please, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD TEAR UP THE ROOM!"
Both Starfire and Raven looked down.
"If you are going to fight, keep it civil. That or do it in the training room. AWAY from the Playsation 2!"
"Sorry Cyborg." Both Starfire and Raven left their separate ways.
'Great. I'm going to get more entertainment this year then I anticipated.' Cyborg thought to himself as he watched the two leave the room. 'Well, back to Soul Calibur 2!' Cyborg heads towards the TV and Playstation 2, which amazingly, survived the battle.
Starfire lands inside the hallway. "Why did I say all those mean things Raven? What is happening to me? Raven's my friend. Friends are not supposed to fight like this." Starfire looked down in slight sadness.
Raven peaked out behind the wall corner. "Robin's mine!" She then went back behind the corner to go to her room.
"GGGRRRRAAAHHHHH!" Starfire's eyes glowed and shot lasers. Her hands shot energy balls that destroyed a few tiles.
~Hallway~
Robin is walking down the hallway as his communicator started to signal. Robin reached for the communicator.
"Robin here." A short pause followed. "So, you have information on what was stolen?"
--------End of Chapter 5
Sorry about the "later then usual" update. Actually, this is the rate I expected to go. Heck, even later since I didn't expect "Date with Destiny" would give me so many good ideas! Unfortunately, real life caught up with me (essay papers, midterm, group work, and a final in two weeks), which is why this chapter is later then usual. That and last episode was kind of disappointing leaving little room for any additional inspiration (Starfire, ugly, leaves the groups [how many times does she need to leave before she realizes that she is wanted?] then when she finally transform, all that so that she can shoot lasers out of her eyes? Not to mention that story narrative thing annoyed me. Well, at least I can add a new power [and new insult]). Next week though, Terra comes back! Whoohoo! Though looking at the way the episode trailer, and future episode titles, I can see where it is heading (Raven and Terra looks like they might have problems. A future episode after next weeks is named Betrayal. Hmmmmm...wonder what this mean? :rolleyes:).
As for this chapter...sorry if Starfire's date wasn't all that great. I originally had the idea that Robin would take Starfire to the fair. Then I remembered...he already did with the "Sisters" episode. That and, as I was writing this section, I got bored with the date. Had nothing to do with the fact I'm a Raven fan. Pdddttt. Just that, I didn't like the way it was going. Again, I would like to stress, Robin will not sure any preference to either Starfire or Raven (despite what it may appear at points). Also, I know Raven didn't really interfere. I didn't want her to interfere much since I didn't want her to get on Robin's bad side. As for the first catfight...well, you got it. Hehehe. Though future ones will not have any cat references if you know what I mean.
Also, review I would like to comment on. Marshmello Da Strawberry Cow:
First review...at the point, it is supposed to be neither Starfire/Robin nor Raven/Robin at the moment, even if it appears to be biased one way or the other.
Point 1: Yeah, I do change tenses. I try to keep it mostly present tense. Guess I should try harder.
Point 2: Well, yeah. I was trying to show their frustration a lot and the only thing I could think of to show that is "argh".
Point 3: Raven isn't really shouting shouting. Think her voice, but slightly elevated. Reference, "Fear itself" when Beast Boy was annoying Raven about her being scared and Raven "yelled" back.
Point 4: That's what makes Beast Boy so special in this fic. ;-)
Point 5: I was trying to figure out how to get Slade into this story and it somehow connecting to the bank robbery. While I admit it wasn't the best way to get him in the story, at least it got him into it.
Third review...thanks for reading my story. :-)
Monkeyhood:
That nig thing...good point. I'll keep that in mind the next time I write.
Thanks for the suggestions and comments everyone!
Anyways, enough of my ranting; Next chapter...haven't fully thought up the scenes yet (so don't expect a quick update this time...too). Though expect Starfire and Raven meditating together, Slade's men doing another robbery, and...ummmm...other events. Until next time...

"Well, well, well, nice to see you two lovebirds on this fine evening."
Starfire gasped and quickly turned to Slade.
"Slade!" Robin turned towards Slade.
'SLADE!' Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven thought in unison. They quickly rushed out of their hiding place.
"Cyborg, Beast Boy..." Starfire's voice lowed an octave; her eyes narrowed "Raven. What are you three doing here?"
"Um...baby sitting Cyborg and Beast Boy?" Raven responded as Cyborg and Beast Boy had a nervous expression and waved.
"Perfect. The whole team is here. This is going to make my visit easier." Slade says with confidence that angers Robin even more.
"Whatever you are planning Slade, it won't succeed." Robin spat out.
"Oh it will Robin, you will see. You will all see." Slade reached out and pulled out a spherical device.
"TITANS! G..." Before Robin could finish, the area was engulfed with a blinding light.
Once the light dissipated, Slade was gone.
Robin punched his hand.
"Um...what was that flashy light thingy?" Beast Boy confused.
Cyborg and Robin's eyes widened. "Everyone, back to the tower!"
~Titan Tower~
The computer read out no anomalies and no nanobots.
"He didn't reinfect us with those nanobots that's for sure." Cyborg looking at the results.
"Didn't think so." Robin looked back at the computer before turning around. "I doubt that Slade would do the same trick twice."
"Then what did he do?" Beast Boy asked.
"I have no clue, I'll do some more research on this." Robin walked towards his room.
Beast Boy and Cyborg left the room.
Starfire flew in front of Robin.
"But Robin..."
"I'm sorry Starfire. I'll have to figure out what Slade is doing." Robin said in an apologetic tone.
'I HATE SLADE! HE RUINED MY DAY!' Starfire looked down.
"Don't worry Starfire, I'll make up it to you." Robin gave a reassuring smile.
'I HATE SLADE! HE RUINED MY DAY!' Raven closed her fist, trying to keep her emotions in check. Failing as it caused a nearby computer monitor to crack.
As Robin left, Starfire flew next to Raven in the living room, who has her arms crossed and a slightly annoyed look on her face.
"How dare you try to ruin my date with Robin! Friend!" Starfire said in a somewhat angry face.
"Like you ruined my date with Robin? Friend!" Raven shot back in her slightly annoyed voice.
"Well...at least we spent the time together having fun then watching some stupid movie. Hmph." Starfire crossed her arms, and turned away from Raven.
"At least I don't run away every time someone 'better' comes along, or because of an overgrown zit." Raven shot back.
Starfire closed her fist trying to hold her anger. 'Well, at least I can show emotion without destroying half the city!"
This hit a nerve with Raven. "Maybe you should've stayed ugly. That way, Robin would realize how pointless you are!"
Starfire's anger grew, but tried to stay calm. "I do not wish to harm you Raven."
"Nor do I Starfire." Cat ears and a cattail appeared on Raven, "which means you have to accept the fact that Robin is mine." Raven gave a small smile.
Cat ears and a cattail also appeared on Starfire. "Grrrrrrrraaaaaahhhh!" Starfire's eyes glow and lunges at Raven. She shoots at Raven with her eyes while Raven blocks it and moves out of the way.
"...reoowww..." Raven uses her power to pick up a chair and throws it towards Starfire.
"RAOW!" Starfire shots at Raven, causing random explosions.
"...ROAW..."
"REOW!" More random explosions.
"REOWWWW!"
"REEEEOW!" Raven picks up a long couch, and bashes Starfire with it.
Robin is walking back towards his room. More random explosions can be heard and cat noises can be heard. 'What is Slade up to?' Robin stops and raises and eyebrow. "Is that cats I hear?" Robin's expression returns to normal and continues walking. "Probably just Beast Boy." The door closes behind Robin.
Raven and Starfire continue fighting when Cyborg enters the room. "Hey, whoa, WHOA. Girls!"
Starfire and Raven stop. Starfire is holding Raven by the neck with her left hand. Her right arm is pulled back with her hand glowing. A table is held above Starfire with Raven's power. Starfire's eyes that are glowing started to return to normal. Raven's eyes that were glowing white also began to return to normal. Both slowly turned to towards Cyborg.
The table that was black due to Raven's using her powers, also started to dissipate. This caused it to fall onto Starfire. "OW!"
"Look girls, I know Robin is a great guy and all, but please, THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD TEAR UP THE ROOM!"
Both Starfire and Raven looked down.
"If you are going to fight, keep it civil. That or do it in the training room. AWAY from the Playsation 2!"
"Sorry Cyborg." Both Starfire and Raven left their separate ways.
'Great. I'm going to get more entertainment this year then I anticipated.' Cyborg thought to himself as he watched the two leave the room. 'Well, back to Soul Calibur 2!' Cyborg heads towards the TV and Playstation 2, which amazingly, survived the battle.
Starfire lands inside the hallway. "Why did I say all those mean things Raven? What is happening to me? Raven's my friend. Friends are not supposed to fight like this." Starfire looked down in slight sadness.
Raven peaked out behind the wall corner. "Robin's mine!" She then went back behind the corner to go to her room.
"GGGRRRRAAAHHHHH!" Starfire's eyes glowed and shot lasers. Her hands shot energy balls that destroyed a few tiles.
~Hallway~
Robin is walking down the hallway as his communicator started to signal. Robin reached for the communicator.
"Robin here." A short pause followed. "So, you have information on what was stolen?"
--------End of Chapter 5
Sorry about the "later then usual" update. Actually, this is the rate I expected to go. Heck, even later since I didn't expect "Date with Destiny" would give me so many good ideas! Unfortunately, real life caught up with me (essay papers, midterm, group work, and a final in two weeks), which is why this chapter is later then usual. That and last episode was kind of disappointing leaving little room for any additional inspiration (Starfire, ugly, leaves the groups [how many times does she need to leave before she realizes that she is wanted?] then when she finally transform, all that so that she can shoot lasers out of her eyes? Not to mention that story narrative thing annoyed me. Well, at least I can add a new power [and new insult]). Next week though, Terra comes back! Whoohoo! Though looking at the way the episode trailer, and future episode titles, I can see where it is heading (Raven and Terra looks like they might have problems. A future episode after next weeks is named Betrayal. Hmmmmm...wonder what this mean? :rolleyes:).
As for this chapter...sorry if Starfire's date wasn't all that great. I originally had the idea that Robin would take Starfire to the fair. Then I remembered...he already did with the "Sisters" episode. That and, as I was writing this section, I got bored with the date. Had nothing to do with the fact I'm a Raven fan. Pdddttt. Just that, I didn't like the way it was going. Again, I would like to stress, Robin will not sure any preference to either Starfire or Raven (despite what it may appear at points). Also, I know Raven didn't really interfere. I didn't want her to interfere much since I didn't want her to get on Robin's bad side. As for the first catfight...well, you got it. Hehehe. Though future ones will not have any cat references if you know what I mean.
Also, review I would like to comment on. Marshmello Da Strawberry Cow:
First review...at the point, it is supposed to be neither Starfire/Robin nor Raven/Robin at the moment, even if it appears to be biased one way or the other.
Point 1: Yeah, I do change tenses. I try to keep it mostly present tense. Guess I should try harder.
Point 2: Well, yeah. I was trying to show their frustration a lot and the only thing I could think of to show that is "argh".
Point 3: Raven isn't really shouting shouting. Think her voice, but slightly elevated. Reference, "Fear itself" when Beast Boy was annoying Raven about her being scared and Raven "yelled" back.
Point 4: That's what makes Beast Boy so special in this fic. ;-)
Point 5: I was trying to figure out how to get Slade into this story and it somehow connecting to the bank robbery. While I admit it wasn't the best way to get him in the story, at least it got him into it.
Third review...thanks for reading my story. :-)
Monkeyhood:
That nig thing...good point. I'll keep that in mind the next time I write.
Thanks for the suggestions and comments everyone!
Anyways, enough of my ranting; Next chapter...haven't fully thought up the scenes yet (so don't expect a quick update this time...too). Though expect Starfire and Raven meditating together, Slade's men doing another robbery, and...ummmm...other events. Until next time...
