...Hey. I am not in a good mood. I've got my false cheery thing going. In truth, I'm ready to kill somebody. I think I'll just answer a few questions. First off, this story isn't going to be much longer. Should be a couple of chapters. Then a long author's note, or should they be called acknowledgments? But that's the plan. As for X-Men: Legends, it is a great game. Fun to play alone, and even more fun with friends. That is, until you get Jubilee. She's terrible... But the game kicks ass. I haven't gotten very far, giant sentinels are beating my ass. Enough about video games though, and more about my story. Keep on reading, it's almost done. Then I'm writing "To Be What I'm Not". A story that I'm not sure who it focuses on... Either on BB or Raven, tell me who you would like it to be on if you want. RR please.

I do not own Teen Titans.

Chapter 9: Party Planning

Robin's View

Robin smashed into the floor painfully, silently screaming as he's knees hit the ground. He struggled around with the thin figure on his back, unsure of what was happening. He reached up and grabbed onto his attacker, then tossed them across the room. The person managed to flip around and land on their feet. Robin used the brief moment of freedom to slam his hand onto the light. He squinted for a moment as it turned on, then looked into the eyes of the person.

"Beast Boy?" Robin said, shocked to see his green friend. Beast Boy was glaring at Robin, his fists clenched. "You kissed her? How could you do that?" Beast Boy yelled at Robin and charged. Robin dove out of the way as Beast Boy shot forward. "It wasn't like you think! She-" "LIAR!" Beast Boy cut Robin off as he jumped on top of the Boy Wonder. The two crashed to the ground. Robin held Beast Boy's arms back, attempting to keep his swings from connecting. "I didn't kiss her! She kissed me!" Robin managed to yell.

Beast Boy stopped, his hand frozen in midair. His mouth hung wide open. Robin waved his hand in front of the changeling's eyes, but got no reaction. "Beast Boy?" Robin asked nervously? "She did..." Beast Boy whispered. It was more of a statement than a question. He hesitated for a moment, then spoke. "Yeah," Robin said slowly. He was beginning to feel awkward. Robin slid Beast Boy off a him, then stood up.

After several minutes of awkward silence, Robin once again spoke. "I don't think she meant for it to happen," Robin said. Beast Boy snapped out of his trance. "She didn't mean to kiss you? What!?! She just FELL on your lips?" Beast Boy yelled. Robin backed up, falling down onto his bed. "I mean she meant to do it but didn't think it was the right thing-" He stopped at the looked Beast Boy gave him, then stood up once again.

The changeling stood up, then walked over to Robin, looking slightly up due to the slight height difference. "You have everything, why do you need her? You're the leader. You get the most fame, the most fortune. You're the best looking! You've got Starfire all over you! Is Raven really something that you need to feel better? You know I like her and you still let this happen?" Beast Boy fired off question after question, panting as he stopped.

"I'm the leader only because I was the first! I don't even want fame and fortune! You're not even bad looking Beast Boy, as both Raven and Starfire think you're attractive! And I know that you like her but I like her too! I've wanted her since the day we met!" Robin yelled back, answering every question just as quickly as his friend asked them. He too let out a deep breath as he finished.

Beast Boy's anger calmed mildly, but only for a moment. "Why couldn't you just leave her alone? I finally got the chance that I've been waiting for and you screw things up. Why can't you just stick with Star?" He yelled. Robin felt his anger rising. "I broke up with her anyways!" "Thought you were gonna have Raven, huh?" Beast Boy said angrily. Robin snapped just then. "What are you so angry about? She's with you now! I've lost, you've won! It's over!" He yelled.

Beast Boy's mouth hung open in shock. Robin turned around, leaving his friend in another trance. 'He has what I want, why is he so mad?' Robin asked himself. "I-I'm sorry," He heard Beast Boy mumble. Robin turned around. "What?" He asked, surprised. "I didn't know all of that, and I'm sorry. I just... I really like Raven and I want stuff to work out but if she'd rather be with you-" "No," Robin cut him off. "If she wanted me then we'd be together," He said.

Beast Boy smiled slightly. "Does Starfire really like how I look?" He said to Robin. The Boy Wonder smiled back. "More than you know," He said. Beast Boy sat down on the bed, and Robin followed suit. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have let the kiss even happen. I just sort of got caught up in the moment," Robin said. "I can understand, it happens," Beast Boy said and smiled once again. "We ok?" He asked Robin. The Boy Wonder nodded.

Beast Boy stood up and walked towards the door. "I think me and Raven should have a long talk," He said. "Yeah... I think me and her need to have one two. Er- If it's alright with you that it," Robin said. Beast Boy nodded. "I'll see ya later," He said and left with a wave, leaving Robin to think about what he was going to do about his current predicament with his love life.

Raven's View

In Raven's view, the rest of the week had gone by quick. It was soon Friday, and the Titans, except Robin, were putting the finishing touches on Robin's party for that night. They had invited everyone they could think of, from well known to near strangers. People like Batman, Speedy, Aqualad, HotSpot, Wildebeest, Thunder, and Lightning. Pretty much everyone that they had been involved with over their time on the Titans.

Beast Boy had come back from Robin's room. He had calmed down considerably, and had a talk with her. Raven listened closely to the entire conversation, which could definitely be classified as interesting. She never expected to hear what she did, especially not from Beast Boy, but he said it. Raven let out a sigh as she attempted to concentrate on her gift for Robin. It was going to be tough to accomplish, but it was doable.

"Now Starfire, you need to distract him. Beast Boy, just make sure everyone is coming. I'll handle all of the food delivery. Raven?" Cyborg said to her. She looked up. "I guess you don't really have a job. You could make some of that awesome cheese cake though," Cyborg said and smiled. "Whatever," She said dryly, then floated off to make a very large cheese cake. It was her specialty.

Though she was making a cheese cake, Raven was hardly paying attention to what she was doing. She could have poured anthrax in the pie and she wouldn't even have noticed until people started to die randomly. She looked over at Beast Boy, who was having a rather odd looking chat with Starfire. Cyborg was sitting next to them, mashing buttons as he played Soul Calibur 2. Robin was no where to be found, though he was probably either training or on the roof. It was all he had done for days.

Raven hadn't meditated for a while, and that wasn't a good thing. With all the emotions that she was experiencing, you'd think that she would have meditated more, not less. But she was too busy. Talking with Beast Boy, gossiping with Starfire, teaching Cyborg to cook better, and avoiding Robin. It wasn't that she hated Robin, it was just that she didn't want to be around him. Not yet at least...

As the cake actually began to cook, Raven took the time to take a breather. It was extremely hot in the kitchen area, and even more so when cooking. So Raven plopped herself down on the couch, leaning back her head and closing her eyes. Beast Boy and Starfire were talking in hushed voices, making Raven frustrated. She looked up, glaring at Beast Boy, who smiled at her. "Sorry," He mumbled. He whispered something to Starfire, and the two moved over to the kitchen table. Raven closed her eyes once again, the only sound she could hear being the button mashing coming from Cyborg. It was good to be in silence... almost.

She was unsure of whether her gift would be right. She wasn't even sure that Robin would want it. But nothing says sorry like- "Raven". She snapped her eyes opened, and stared at the bent over form of Robin above her. "What?" She asked, trying to not make eye contact. "Mind if I sit there?" He asked her. She was about to say no when Starfire popped out of no where. "Robin! You must go get the groceries, it is your turn," She said. Robin looked at her curiously, then nodded. "I shall come as well," Starfire said. Robin nodded again, then headed towards the elevator. Starfire smiled at Cyborg, who gave a thumbs up. She waved in Beast Boy's direction, then followed Robin quickly.

Raven was glad to see Robin go, she still didn't feel comfortable around him all the time. She was no longer mad at him, but that didn't mean she felt fine when near him. She sometimes wondered if he felt the same way. After all, days earlier they had shared a magical night together, and now they barely spoke. It wasn't what Raven truly wanted, but she knew what she was doing. If all went well, things would be back to normal with the team once again.

Seeing that the cake still had some time left on it, Raven decided to go and get ready for the event. "I'm going to go and get ready," She said to the guys. Cyborg grunted in response. "Yeah. I'd better make sure everyone knows when to come," Beast Boy said, then stood up and walked away quickly. She followed in his steps slowly, hearing his voice through the door as she passed by his room. Raven settled herself into her room, glancing at the clothes on her bed. She headed into the bathroom, quickly undressing and taking a refreshing shower.

Raven wrapped a dark blue towel around her body as she got out. It was nearing part time extremely quick, so she dressed and prepped quickly. Cyborg rapped on her door. "People are gettin' here now! Get out here!" He yelled at her. She grumbled, but then rushed outside as she remembered her cake. She was happy to see that someone had laid it out. Bent over and sniffing it was Wildebeest, who stood up completely. "Hello," She said to him. He made a noise, that Raven assumed was his version of hi. Beast Boy was on the couch with two familiar faces. Thunder and Lightning were sitting there, talking about their battle with Beast Boy.

"And then you tried to attack me as a bear! Green one, what were you thinking?" Lightning said while laughing. Beast Boy turned to Raven before answering, causing Thunder and Lightning to look as well. "Hello dark one, it is good to see you," Thunder said politely. "Likewise," Raven said sincerely. It was always nice to see old friends. Raven heard the elevator start up again and wondered who was next.

A trio of boys walked through the door. A bright orange fiery one in front, who Raven presumed to be HotSpot. Aqualad and Speedy followed closely behind, laughing as they talked. They to had been involved with the Master of Games. Raven smiled at the memory. Robin had won the boys tournament, and Raven had won the girls. Her final opponent wasn't very hard, someone name- "Hello Raven," A voice said, cutting off her thoughts. Raven looked up into the handsome face of Aqualad, who was smiling at her. Raven didn't blush, didn't even hesitate. "Hello," She said back. Aqualad was an old crush of hers, but he was nothing compared to Robin. He opened his mouth to speak, but was dragged off by Speedy.

Raven let out a breath, glad to be alone once again. Everyone seemed to be here. No sooner than she finished the thought, the doors opened. Raven stared, open mouthed, as Batman walked through them. Everyone went silent. The Bat was legendary, one of the best crime fighters around. He'd have to be, as he was Robin's mentor. "Hello," Batman said. The group crowded around him and began firing off questions. 'You would think they've never seen a super hero' Raven thought of the bouncy group of people. She mumbled "boys" and then sat down on the couch, where she was quickly joined by Cyborg.

"I just got a call from Starfire, they're on their way and should be here in minutes," He told her. Raven nodded, holding her breath as she did so. "You ready for this?" Cyborg asked her while smiling. "I'm always ready," She said determined. Cyborg gave her a pat on the shoulder, than stood up. "Robin's gonna be hear in a minute, so hide!" He yelled. People scattered all over. Thunder and lightning crouching behind the kitchen counter, Speedy, Aqualad, and HotSpot kneeling behind the couch. Wildebeest stepped into the hallway, as he was too big for any spot in the room. Raven quietly stood near the window, near Batman, who was the only one who had bothered to stay calm. Beast Boy and Cyborg sat on the couch as normal so that Robin wouldn't suspect much. The elevator started up once again and everybody tensed. The party was about to begin.

That didn't seem very long. Eh... whatever. I'm in a better mood than usual today. Sort of. Not really. I hope you liked this chapter, as it was fun to write. Including characters from the old episodes was the funnest part. Master of Games... I think Raven won the tournament of heroines. Starfire was like Cyborg, because she suspected that the game wasn't right, just like him. I couldn't think of a girl that Raven would fight, so I cut her off in mid sentence. I'll update in another few days. Review please...

Next Chapter: Robin enjoys his surprise party. Food, fun, laughter. But there is one thing missing from a special someone. Where is Raven's gift?

Sucky next chappie thing... keep on reading.
