Greetings, Earthlings!!!! How be you?

Hey, so I hope I managed to keep you with enough suspense from last chapter. If you're reading this chapter, it worked, didn't it? OH I am clever. #Go KD, you're a milnip, who's your wooserloo... oh yeah!#

By the way, if you didn't get WHAT the suspension was about- basically Raven's Rubik's cube is magical. What's the magic? I hear you ask- well you'll be finding out in this chapter. The idea seemed so great and original, I hope you would see it that way too. Besides, it gives widdle Wavie the chance to shine! (By the way- that was 'Little Ravey'... yeah I know -_-;;- KD)

On with the show, I tells ya! Enjoy!

Once upon a time- someone was born- and that person went on to create the brilliance that was Teen Titans. Unfortunately, that wasn't me.

Raven's face wept with horror at the unavoidable incident as she sank to her knees. Her room dissipated and she felt her insides being whirled in what seemed like a food processor (ye-owch- KD). She narrowed her eyes in extreme desperation and searched around the massive grey blur around her for any signs of life- preferably Beast Boy- whom had been in the room with her. All at once, the whirring came to a halt and Raven found herself atop a cliff in a dank and unknown underworld.

'A-Azerath...?' she whimpered with immense fear, for once in the few times in her life.

Not... Azerath...

Zero... Space...

Raven had had her breath held until the hiss-like voice from nowhere finished its sentence. She resumed breathing at once in a deep panting. Zero... space! It-it can't be! while musing to herself, Raven had completely brushed aside any memory of Beast Boy. After many minutes of staring at the dirt-free ground beneath her in disbelief, Raven sat up. A heavy smirk formed on her lips.

'Zero space.' she exclaimed, smiling. 'What dya know... this is cos of you... BB.'

'DUDES?!!' Beast Boy foolishly yelled. He rummaged around the tree branches until he finally reach a clearing. 'Aww man... how did I get myself into this??' he asked himself, kicking a few rogue leaves. 'RAVEN??!! AM I IN YOUR MIND AGAIN?!!' he screeched, hoping that he'd meet some kind of weird bird like the last time he entered his teammate's mind. But he thoroughly doubted that the land he was stepping on was inside her head, as that particular place- her mind- was much darker. He glanced around the land and found that it wasn't, well, anything. There were just dark-green leafed trees and grey concrete on the ground. It was like he was nowhere- not even a wasteland. Beast Boy sat himself on the ground in defeat, he knew he was gonna be there for a long time, so he'd might as well sleep.

'Oh, Beast Boy...!' Raven slowly croaked, although this time- there was something that was never there before- there was emotion. Raven had somehow formed a bond with this new destination- enough to show her feelings. As she had previously done- Raven again activated her life sensors in hope of finding her green-skinned friend. Luckily, she picked up a flickering signal northwestward. Flickering...? I wonder what he's doing... She then continued in the same direction to bestow the worldliest surprise ever known to the half-slumbering Beast Boy.

'Come on... you know... you want.....me.' Beast Boy uttered in his unconscious form. 'Ladies....?' he continued to mumble embarrassing nonsense until one eye wavered open. With his skillful animal senses, he had detected footsteps somewhere a few yards behind him. Raven sure wasn't the only one with life detection. Knowing the intruder's presence, he cleverly transformed into a tiny green ant, not taking into account the fact that even if he was almost invisible, he was also highly vulnerable. However, the plan seemed to be working until he saw that the approaching figure was navy-clad Raven, and she was shouting his name. Instantly, without any consideration, he shape-shifted back into his natural form. Like without said consideration from Beast Boy- Raven tripped over him in the process.

'Raven?!!' he exclaimed in both excitement and confusion.

'Beast Boy?!!' she too exclaimed. Beast Boy realized his mistake of tripping her up and then was about to apologize when...

'Oh, BB, I was worried about you!' Raven cooed loudly. She threw herself upon his shaky form and nearly knocked him toppling over. 'Hey, you'll never guess where we are!' she playfully sang, smiling. Her voice was still the same but at a considerably higher pitch.

Beast Boy fainted.

Outside, it had started to pour with rain. Cyborg sat eagerly awaiting the wrestling match between 'King' and 'Yoshimitsu', with so much anticipation that it seemed like he desperately needed to pee. In the period of time it had taken Robin to go back to his room, Cyborg had managed to consume a further half of a leftover box of pizza, three ginger beers, and pop three pounds of whole grain corn. Furthermore, he had started chanting 'Yoshi! Yoshi!' and drumming his crossed legged knees whilst watching the fellow human robot mount the ring. Just as the countdown for the fight began, Cyborg was interrupted by the sudden and annoyingly continuous ringing of the doorbell.

'AHHH DAMN YOU TA HELL!!' he shrieked, and chose to ignore the inconvenient distraction to his entertainment. He managed to resume a whole ten seconds before he had no choice but to go get the door. Because Cyborg had a major personality quirk- that was- his mind magnified the smallest irritant ten thousand times over. In this case, he simply had to get the door otherwise that night he would have gone crazy with insomnia. Taking the same route as Raven did earlier, Cyborg sped down the tower in record time. What he found on the other side of the front entrance blew his head off.

There was no one there.

'Hey, Beast Boy! Wake up! C'mon, please! Wake up!!' Raven was patting the back of Beast Boy's head impatiently, waiting for the minute he came to. Fortunately, his eyes shimmered and Raven could make out the outline of his iris. 'Aww, hey, welcome back!' she cheerfully giggled. This time round, though, Beast Boy didn't faint, although that didn't mean the confusion had been erased from his mind. Springing away from her, Beast Boy started to tremble.

'Where's-where's Raven? Who are you a-and what have you done t-t-t-to her?' the words rolled from his tongue like a pineapple through a thorn bush. The green changeling never broke gaze with Raven, but he lowered his head as if to protect himself from an oncoming dragon.

'Hey, BB, I'm right here!' Raven cried out innocently. 'What's wrong with you? Oh, wait, don't answer that...' she joked- showing the obvious abandoning of her usual character. Beast Boy stared at her blankly- then after a silent bout of wide-eyed shock, and the regaining of his normal posture- burst out laughing.

'Raven! Dude! It is you?!' he laughed, more stating the sentence than asking. 'But- how? You're not- you have no- ya- yow- yeedy...' he spluttered mockingly, with warm amusement. Raven had watched him all the while with admiring eyes, she did- after all- find Beast Boy incredibly humourous.

'BB, welcome to a place, called- Zero Space!' she recited, not originally intending for the sentence to rhyme, but when it did, grinned with delight. 'And it's very obvious as to what Zero Space offers by now... but as it's you,' she smartly smirked, shooting a devious glance at Beast Boy, 'I will take time to explain.' she finished. Beast Boy answered with a vague nod, completely unaware of the joke at his expense. 'Long story short, I can feel- out loud!' she exclaimed, taking much less time than expected. Fortunately, Beast Boy was at the least clever enough to understand why Raven would be happy.

'Congrats, Rae... so how did we both end up here?' Beast Boy asked- having taken a risk at pushing his luck with Raven's nickname. To his own surprise- and stupidity- Raven didn't mind any less, not even in Zero Space.

'Don't call me that. How many times do I have to tell you?' she frowned, but very light-heartedly. 'And the two of us were transported here when you completed my Ritual Rubik's cube...' Raven clarified with a smile. Beast Boy nodded having understood the basics of a complication.

'Oh and you can feel cos it's Zero Space!' he grinned with pride over his clasp of the works.

'Correct!' Raven confirmed. '... And that reminds me... it's all thanks to you Beast Boy...' she smiled through adoring eyes. Beast Boy blushed and shrugged nonchalantly.

'Well...' he chuckled, but not long before he had time to complete his non- existent sentence, Raven had proceeded towards the unsuspecting shape-shifter and latched her lips onto his own into a slow and playful kiss. Beast Boy gradually realized what he was experiencing whilst in a bout of petrification. He unsurely closed his eyes and kissed her back with all his might, embracing her form with his own, gently but definitely holding her against him. It was all so new to him, he didn't want to hold too tight in the fear of causing discomfort but the state of them couldn't have mattered less to Raven- as she was the one enjoying this the most. A few minutes of half- suffocation from Beast Boy later, Raven finally managed to pull herself apart from the poor boy, content at the fact that she for the first time had him speechless.

'That's my way of saying thanks.' Raven breathed calmly, feeling like she had just woken from a beautiful dream where she got to kiss the prince and become the princess. Her hands were still on Beast Boy's face and she felt the heat emitting from them. Beast Boy exhaled and smiled for the first time back at Raven, he opened his mouth to murmur a few words.

'I should... do this more... often.' And he fainted, again.

Cyborg cursed the raindrops upon his metal body as he peeked either side of the front door to make absolutely sure no one was there. Once he did this, and after much swearing and punching the air, he huffily ran back to his game, whilst sulking and moping throughout the corridors. Probably missed the godamned thing...

He skidded a corner, and then, 'VIRGIL HAWKINS?!!!' he wailed on approaching an unexpected young man, and colliding into him at the same time, causing a few of his parts to buzz on the meeting with water from the dripping wet human before him. 'WHAT THE DAMN HELL YOU DOING HERE, FOOL??!!!' Cyborg wailed ferociously, eyes popping from their sockets. The other young man flinched at the volume of his voice and shrugged, while inhaling for the explanation.

'Well, see... I was um... out, and when I was flying home it started raining, so I flew in here, which was the nearest place- and besides a window was open.... c'mon, Cyborg, you KNOW what water does to me!!' the boy tried to explain, faltering a little after his first sentence, and quaking a little from the towering teen's posture. This didn't cut it for Cyborg, as he had better than usual sensors and he could tell Static was hiding something. The giant robot shot the human fuseball a incredulous look.

'You were with someone....' Cyborg murmured slowly and accusingly, in such a way that one only sees on television dramas. At this allegation, the younger boy inwardly froze but managed to stay cool on his exterior.

'No... I was- let's say- taking care of a Baby, a Bang Baby... alright officer?' Virgil mocked, and with that he brushed past Cyborg's shoulder a little scornfully and proceeded in the opposite direction. Cyborg continued to stare even as he walked off. 'Uhh...' Cyborg watched contently as the other boy slowly turned around on his heel and bare his teeth in a toothy grin. 'Which way is the bathroom, Cy?' he said cheeks flushing red.

'Last door on the right... damn fool.' Cyborg muttered the last two words under his breath as he walked back to his non-existent first round of wrestling, shaking his head and feeling pissed at the same time. 'Trying it. Boy you know better than that. 'I as out taking care of Bang Babies, wah wah!'' he mocked scornfully, 'Idiot don't know I got heartbeat sensors.' Cyborg went back to his game and managed at least a joyful Virgil-free second and third round, only to be joined by the man himself for the remaining seven rounds. Luckily, Cyborg didn't hold a grudge.

Starfire was drifting in and out of sleep as she heard metal clanging and glass breaking outside her room. That night, it was unbeliveably cold, the rain punched the walls and windows, and Starfire- as usual- had no blanket. Damn, she didn't even sleep on the right end of the bed. (Refer to 'Switched'- KD). In spite of the cold, Starfire had tried to stay warm the best she could by wrapping her long auburn hair around her form, along with a robe from her adjoining bathroom. Unfortunately, the cold still managed to pierce her with its wicked skewer and cause her to get goosebumps along with uncontrollable shaking. Starfire frowned abysmally and wondered whether Robin or the others were also cold. Coincidentally, the former said person was fast approaching her door- with a feeble excuse covering the real reason. Starfire jumped up to the sound of the clear knocking against metal. She rushed to the gateway and it revealed a neutral looking Robin on the other end.

'Um, Star, I was just putting my clothes away from two days ago and forgot to mention that your arm protector got mixed up... here.' Robin stated monotonously and handed her the lightweight chunk of iron, trying to avoid catching her gaze, which he knew all too well that he would get hopelessly lost in. The maroon haired girl took her battle equipment from his ungloved hand and shivers ran through her body on contact with such intense heat, that she delayed her cue to actually pull the arm protector away. His brain collapsed at that moment and he gripped her hand, with the metal in it, and neared himself towards her face, not caring what they'd both feel after. 'Robin?' Starfire whimpered innocently, curious to her friend's actions. Robin shook his head- his eyes still wandering elsewhere- and no matter how much his heart was pumping- telling him to just kiss her- he couldn't because he refused to believe he lacked self-control. 'No, nothing... Star. Goodnight.'
