Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters.
Since the wedding and the banquet will be rather long, it will be in the next chapter. Sorry about that...(slaps herself)
And the date of the wedding is an actual date in the year 2005. Awww...
Chapter 2
Even thought she told nobody, Starfire was in pain. She had been in pain for the past three years. Every time the name "Raven" or "Robin" found its way to her ears, a stone would be dropped into her heart. Every time she would see the two together, whether it was hugging, kissing, talking, or laughing, a boulder would crash down. And when Robin proposed to Raven, a whole side of the mountain fell. True, she had cheered along with everybody else, but what else could she do? Raven was perfect for Richard. They both just, understand each other better; they were two unbreakable diamond puzzle pieces that were crafted perfectly down to the last atom. It'll take time...it'll take time to heal. Besides, today was not the day to show any jealousy towards the pair. This evening, they were going to plan the wedding.
"I think it would be a beautiful outdoor wedding if it was during the spring," spoke Robin.
The six friends were seated in the living room couch with Raven snuggled into her fianc's arm and sipping hot chocolate. "But wouldn't it be nice to go back to Hawaii for the honeymoon?" she said. And speaking of honeymoon, that's a really oddly put together word, kind of like Beast Boy. Ha...
"So you're saying you guys are going to wait a few months after the wedding?" said Beast Boy who started playing Blackjack on the floor with Terra.
"Why don't you hold it during the summer? BB, it's your turn." Terra sneaked a peek at the next card to see what Beast Boy would get.
"Wouldn't it be a bit hot? Oh, hit me."
"Gladly, Beast Boy!" Starfire floats over to the green titan and slaps him.
"Ow! Starfire! It meant I wanted another card!"
The blond smacks down the card. "Haha, BB, yo busted!"
Raven's eyebrow twitched. She didn't even know that Beast Boy had the brain capacity to play anything other than video games, but then again, he lost that round. "Beast Boy, not all weddings are held outside, you know."
"Yea, a nice wedding in a church, and then an outdoor bridal shower," said Cyborg.
"That's sounds really nice, Cy. We can hold the ceremony at the Jump City church, and then come back here for a rooftop banquet under the moonlight," added Robin, twirling the ring on Raven's finger, "So what about the date?"
"Full moon in June," said Terra without looking up from her cards, "Luckiest day to get married and make that a bonus if it hits Wednesday. BB, I'll split mine."
Cyborg pushed a few buttons on his arm and sent out a miniature satellite dish. "Hmm, that would be June twenty-second this year, and would you look at that, it hits squarely on a Wednesday!" The dish collapsed back. "The stars are one your side, man."
Robin beamed. "So, the twenty-second okay with you, Raven?"
"As if I could argue."
"I have read that weddings need a 'best man' and 'bridesmaids', no?" stated Starfire.
"Well, we've got the answer right before our eyes, Starfire," replied a smiling Robin, "You and Terra—"
Starfire smiled genuinely for the first time since Christmas day.
"But could we really trust Beast Boy to the ring, and the marriage license?" questioned the pale titan.
"Hm, so it's only between me and BB, eh?" Cyborg pretended to crack his knuckles.
"May the best man win! Hahaha! Get it? Best man?" Beast Boy fell on the floor, laughing. Terra managed a giggle, only because she didn't want her boyfriend to feel more stupid that he really was at the moment.
"Cyborg it is," said Raven, indifferent to the joke. He's so immature...
"Boo-ya!" Cy then proceeded to do a mini victory dance in his seat.
"Hey!" Beast Boy stopped rolling on the floor, "What about me? What about poor ickle Beastsie Boy?" He turned into a kitten and stared at Raven with huge watery eyes.
"You get to sit and watch instead of having to stand, and we know how you hate standing around doing nothing," said the half-robot, still bobbing his head up and down.
"Or you can be the flower-girl," laughed Terra.
Beast Boy changed back and continued to pout.
"Don't worry BB, we'll find something for you to do on our special day. It's six months away," said Robin, giving Raven a squeeze with the arm holding her. She nearly spilled her hot chocolate and shot him a glare, which Robin responded to with a grin. She looks so adorable when she's pissed.
"And the flower girl?" questioned Starfire.
"No problem," responded Robin, "You guys remember Aqualad?"
Beast Boy screamed. "HE'S going to be the FLOWER GIRL!?" He threw up his cards, causing Robin and Terra to sweat drop.
"Uh, no. We've been keeping touch, and he got married a few years ago. Now he's twenty-five and he's got a little girl the age of four."
"Aw, that's perfect," Terra said while retrieving the cards and scowling at the green shape-shifter.
Meanwhile, Raven summoned a pad of paper and a pen and began to record everything down. "How about the times?"
"I'd say, the ceremony would last no longer than thirty minutes. Give it forty if you'd like," responded Terra. She seemed to know a lot about weddings, a fact that BB seemed to notice.
"So, Terra, you seem like a pro." He raised and lowered his eyebrows. Terra punched him.
"Um, so how about four-thirty to five? And then the shower and dinner can be from five-thirty to..." Raven stopped, thinking about the end time.
"How about way into the night? Like eleven!" suggested Cyborg.
"A little two late, don't you think," said Robin.
"Why? Wha—oh. Ohhhh! Gotcha!" Cyborg winked, causing the Boy Wonder to blush and Raven to frown.
"Right. And we'll leave for Hawaii the very next day and stay for a week." Raven jotted it down, "So all that's left is who to invite."
"Bruce and Alfred—"spoke Robin.
"—And the rest of the Titan friends and their families—"Cy added.
"—And all the hot chicks in town!" Terra started pummeling Beast Boy.
"Ow ow, Terra, I was just—ow! Kidding!"
"How about the important people in Jump City? I am sure they would want to witness such a spectacular event," said Starfire. Robin nodded and his fiancé wrote it down.
"Well, I guess we've covered most of the things." Raven yawned. "Here Richard," she tossed the pad to him and got up, "I'm going to bed."
Robin watched her walk out of the living room and threw the paper to a startled Cyborg, "I'll do the same. Night everyone."
As he left, Cy stared at the paper in his lap. "Hey! What am I supposed to do? It's not my wedding!"
Robin entered his room and found that Raven was showering. He proceeded to get out his toothbrush and asked, "So Raven, are you excited about the wedding?"
"Why don't you guess?" She popped her head out form the curtains. "And Richard, don't you think you need to take a shower?"
Robin smiled. "As a matter of fact, I do." He shed his clothes and got in with Raven.
"Uh, wait no. You shower first."
