SCHOOL IS FINISHED!!!! YUUUUU!!!! MUCH MORE FREE TIME TO WRITE.... I hope i'll be able to finish this story and to continue "love hurts"... see ya.

A week passed since Raven's date. She used all her free time to meet Paul, and she became happier: every time she was coming back from an appointment with Paul, the titans heard her singing a sweet melody in a strange and unknown language. Once, they were so daring that asked her the meaning of the song; Raven simply smiled and blushed a bit, but then she explained that it was an old song from Azerath, and it was a song about a girl who finds the true love. Starfire immediately remembered a similar song of her planet, and started to sing it, but Raven didn't moved an eyebrow: she listened to the song until the end and then said to Starfire it was a beautiful song, and even asked her the translation. But, on the other side, she was still angry with Beast Boy, and he didn't seemed in the mood to make peace. He was always alone with Terra, and also she started hating Raven. Sometimes an embarrassing silence fell on the table, during dinner time, the only occasion in which Raven, Beast Boy and Terra sat down together ( but always keeping their proud silence). The titans felt very uncomfortable about this, but none of the three would have listened them; so they just waited, hoping for a future reconciliation.

"Hello, "the house of pizza" here, how may I help you?"

"I was looking for Paul, is he there?"

"Yes, just give me a minute". Sounds of a voice calling the name Paul. Then the young boy answered:

"Yes, it's Paul here. Who are you?"

"I think you don't know me, but I'm one of Raven's friends, Terra..."

"The blonde, blue eyed girl, right?"

"Yes, that's me... Listen, I have to ask you a favour...."

"Hey B.B., what about a pizza today?"

Beast Boy looked Terra in her deep blue eyes and then answered:

"Yes, why not? Where?"

"in a special place, you'll see..."

"See you then, guys... I'll go out for a couple of hours" said Raven looking the three remaining Titans, who were playing a beat em up game. They nodded vaguely, and said nothing; Raven thanked them for this in her mind and then exited. As soon as she closed the door, the three titans looked it and started chatting about Raven's date:

"It's the third date this week, and it's only thursday! She must love him very much!" said Cyborg, laughing

"Oh, shut up, there're so pretty... I'm glad that Raven has found someone who loves her: she's a lot more happy now... She also started singing! I didn't knew she was able to sing such lovely songs!"

"You're right, Star... Let's hope this will last for a long time..." replied Robin.

"Maybe their love will last forever, but ya games is over, guys! I beat ya!!" said again Cyborg; and his fighter started the dance of victory on the screen.

Raven was walking happily to the place of her appointment with Paul, enjoying the beautiful sunny day. She should have met him outside the restaurant where he worked, and she arrived there just in time: Paul was waiting her outside, with a big smile stamped on his face. She said hello to him and he kissed her sweetly. She looked him and said:

"So, what do you want to do today? Shall we go to the beach or we go for a walk?"

"Today we do something special: I have a surprise for you... You'll see..."

"What? You prepared me a surprise? It's so sweet! What is it?"

"If I tell you, it'd be no more a surprise, no? You'll see..."

He looked her and saw her closing her eyes, concentrating. He laughed and added:

"And it is not fair to use mental tricks! Don't read in my mind!"

Raven opened her eyes:

"All right, I'll wait... I have patience to sell..."

Paul looked her nodding his head, like if it wasn't true, but it was clear that he was joking. Raven looked him as if she wanted to kill him, always kidding. They both laughed and started walking down the road, hand in hand.

"So, what do we do today?" asked B.B. in a monotone voice.

"Surprise! Just trust me and follow me!"

"A surprise? Where? I want it now!" said Beast Boy, starting bouncing around the room.

"You have to wait.... Let's go!" and they moved out the Titans Tower, Beast Boy was walking hastily while Terra was following him, with a slower pace, but with the consciousness of what she was doing: there were no doubts in her eyes.

"We're arrived: now close your eyes and trust me" said Paul.

"What? Where's the surprise?"

"You'll see..." said Paul, putting his hands on Raven's eyes; on the other side of the road Terra was doing the same with Beast Boy, and she was guiding him to the place of the appointment with Paul and Raven: she had chose the central plaza of Jump City, crowded of people, hanging around with their boyfriends and girlfriends, all smiling and having fun. Paul and Terra looked each other and moved silently to the centre of the square, and with a nodding they both left free the eyes of their beloved; they opened slowly their eyes with a smile and looked in front of them; as soon as they recognised who was standing in front of them their smile faded away and they turned towards Paul and Terra, asking some explanation. Paul and Terra looked them and Paul said to Raven, but so loud that also Beast Boy and Terra could listen him:

"It was a Terra's idea: she can't stand anymore this quarrel between you two, and I think that if you two talks a little, you can overcome your dispute..."

Raven was a little in anger with Paul, but she was tired to quarrel with Beast Boy every time they met, and this was the perfect occasion for making peace. But there was also something suspicious in Terra's way of doing thing: first she attacked her and accused her to be jealous and afraid of her, then she acted like if she was her best friend. Anyway, she turned to Beast Boy and said:

"All right, let's talk...".

The Titans moved to a bench and sat down: they talked for hours, everyone explaining their opinions and why they reacted in that way. Hours passed and finally, Raven and Beast Boy hugged, smiling: now they had understood all and a new peace had descended between them. Terra looked them smiling and then said:

"Now, that you two had cleared the situation, I have one more secret to reveal..."

"What?" asked Beast Boy inquisitively.

Terra's eyes became yellow and a rock flew between the square, hitting the black wall that Raven had created with her powers, protecting the innocent people behind it.

"I have to destroy you because Slade wants it... You're all gonna die!"
