This chapter is a piece of crap. At least I think so. Sorry if it bores you because that is not the point of this chapter!
Chapter 3
Makeover
Raven sat in her room and drew sketches of the titans. She was drawing her and Robin. She was drawing an impression of what they looked like on their first date. It had been the greatest day of her life. Raven sighed happily at the memory of that date. Raven looked at the picture and noticed that she had forgotten a special part on her; the onyx and ruby ring that Robin had given her that night.
"How could I have forgotten that?" Raven asked herself. Then she heard somebody knocking on the wall downstairs.
"Raven, are you up there?" Terra called.
"We're all going to the mall today; even the boys. We all need to get a make-over for the ball tomorrow". Raven dropped her sketch pad and her pencil. The ball! It was tomorrow night! How could she have forgotten?
"I'm coming!" She called as she hurried downstairs. Terra was there leaning against the wall. The boys were walking out the door already; except for Robin. Robin smiled at Raven and then walked over to her.
"Hey Raven", Robin said as he scooped her up in his arms.
"Hey Rob", Raven said as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. Robin kissed her on the lips and then set her back down again.
"Have you heard of the two new malls that opened up?" Robin asked. Raven looked shocked.
"New malls?" Raven said confused. Robin nodded his head.
"There's a girls' mall and the other one is a boys' mall", he said.
"Not a lot of girls actually go to the girls' one though. Heard it's like a gothic girl's mall. Since boys don't always like to go shopping, that one isn't always too crowded either". Raven smiled. For once they had made a gothic mall.
"Works for me", Raven said.
"Are those the malls we're going to?" Raven asked.
"Yep", Robin said. Raven smiled and made a lamp break.
"Whoops", Raven said as she started blushing and a little anime sweat drop went down her head. Robin and Terra both laughed a little.
"That's alright Rae", Terra said. They all walked out the door and found the rest of the titans waiting for them in the T-car. Cyborg had expanded it a little bit so that six people could fit in it.
"Y'all ready to go?" Cyborg asked. They nodded their heads and ran into the car.
"We'll drop you ladies off and you call me when you're ready to be picked up", Cyborg said. Beast Boy sighed.
"We really need to get another car", he growled. Cyborg shot him a death glare.
"Hey it was hard enough to make this one BB so stop complaining", Cyborg said.
"I'll get you one for your seventeenth birthday". Beast Boy rolled his eyes.
"Then one you should either be saving up because that's next year, or two you should start building it", Beast Boy said as he crossed his arms and put one leg over the other. Terra and Starfire snickered a little at the come back.
"Fine I'll build you one", Cyborg said.
"We're here!" he shouted soon after that.
"Damn you Cyborg you broke the nice silence", Beast Boy growled.
"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND SILENCE?!" Cyborg yelled. Beast Boy didn't do anything.
"It's peaceful", Beast Boy said. Terra leaned forward and kissed him.
"I'll see you later BB", Terra said.
"Bye Terra", Beast Boy said as he lightly kissed her. Raven and Starfire had already gotten out of the car. Terra finally came out.
"Did you two decide to make out a little bit before you got out?" Starfire joked. Terra rolled her eyes.
"No", she said. Raven was staring at the girls' mall. It was enormous! You couldn't even see the top of it!
"Whoa", Raven said.
"Come on let's go in", Starfire said. They all quickly went inside. Raven nearly dropped dead. It looked so cool! There was everything you could possibly need in there! There were about ten spas, three nail salons, five hair salons, make-up stores (mainly gothic looking), hundreds of clothing stores from formal to night gowns, too many restraunts and cafés to count, too many book stores to count, about ten shoe stores, gothic pet stores, and even more! Raven stared in awe along with the other girls. All of this was gothic, yet an extraordinary and exotic beauty. Then Raven accidentally broke a light.
"Well looks like we're going to have a lot of trouble finding our way around this place", Starfire said.
"This place is a maze!"
"Tell me about it", Terra said. Raven sighed. This was going to be a long day. They walked through the mall and they saw all of these different people. They were all gothic and punk.
"Where do you want to go first?" Terra said. They all looked at each other.
"We'll shop for the ball first and get the stinking make over and then we can have lunch and then just shop for other things like books", Raven said.
"I knew you were going to say something like that", Terra said.
"I think we should just stick to that", Starfire said. They all nodded their heads.
"Let's shop for the clothes first", Raven said. They walked into a formal dress store. Most of it looked sort of gothic, but it was nice enough for a ball and very unique. Some of them would catch a lot of attention from how tight or how much see-through they are. Raven walked through the store and quickly went over to the front counter.
"Um excuse me miss", Raven said to the woman behind the counter. She turned to look at Raven.
"Oh how can I help you?" The girl asked kindly.
"Um do you have any dresses that would be appropriate for a ball?" Raven asked. The girl smiled.
"Yes we have a very wide selection", the girl said.
"Follow me". The girl led Raven to another part of the giant room.
"These are our ball gowns", she said.
"Let me show you our finest gowns". The girl walked into the back and was in there for a little bit. She came out with about five different gowns. They were all exotic and drop dead gorgeous.
"These are the most appropriate for balls", she said. Raven looked at all of them and her eyes rested on the very last one.
"Um where was this one made in?" Raven asked.
"Ah that one was made by an Azarath designer. He moved to this dimension", the girl answered.
"I think I'd like to try this one on", Raven said.
"I just so happen to be from Azarath". The girl looked shocked.
"Oh! Well we do have a couple more Azarath ball gowns if you would like to see them", the girl said.
"Yes please", Raven said. This was interesting. She had never known that there was an Azarath designer here on Earth. The girl came out with a couple more dresses.
"These are the other ones we have", she said. Raven smiled.
"Thank you", Raven said. The girl smiled too.
"You're very welcome". Raven looked at them all, but her favorite was still the one that she had seen earlier.
"Can I try them all on?" Raven asked.
"Of course!" the girl laughed. Raven tried them all on, but the first one looked the best on her and was apparently one that would attract a lot of attention. She didn't care. The dress was everything she needed.
It was a black dress with maroon and gold in it. It was made out of silk and velvet. It was laced from her chest all the way down to her waist. That would really attract a lot of attention (It was all flesh you could see; no dress material under it). It had gold and red gem stones dangling on the dress. It had slits at the sides that also went all the way up to her waist. The sleeves were on the sides of here arms and it had tight sleeves that ended at her wrist and made a design on the top of her hand. She loved it. She took it off and put her other clothes back on. She went to the desk again to see the same girl.
"You still like that one the most?" the girl said. Raven nodded her head.
"I would like this one", she said. The girl rung it up and Raven paid for it. Starfire and Terra walked over to her once they saw that she had a bag.
"It's about time", Terra said.
"How long have you been waiting?" Raven asked.
"For about thirty minutes", Terra said. Raven started to blush.
"Sorry", she said.
"Forget about it", Terra said. They all walked out of the store and Starfire decided to go into a shoe store.
"We all need it", she said. Raven sighed. They stepped in and again she just went over to the desk and asked.
"Excuse me, sir?" Raven said. The teen turned around and smiled at her.
"Hello, can I help you?" he asked kindly.
"Yes, I'm looking for formal shoes", Raven said.
"Alright follow me", he said. He led her to a section full of black formal shoes. Raven immediately found something she liked. It was a pair of long black high heeled shoes that had straps. She found her size and tried them on. They were perfect. Raven hated shoe shopping so she didn't bother to look at anything else. Raven walked over to the counter and said, "I would like these shoes please". The boy rung it up and put it into a bag. She paid for it and then went over to where Terra and Starfire were.
"That was quick", Starfire said. Raven smiled slyly.
"I know", she said. Once they had all done that, they just decided to get their hair done. This was actually the hair salon that Terra always went to, so she knew what the best was. They walked in and were greeted by a woman at the door.
"Oh hello Terra!" she said.
"I didn't know you worked at this one", Terra said.
"Did you ladies come in here to get your hair done?" the woman asked. They nodded their heads.
"We're going to a ball tomorrow", Terra said. The woman smiled.
"Well then I know just the right three people for you. Katie, Michael, Caterina, get over here!" the woman yelled. The three people known as Katie, Michael, and Caterina came over.
"Yes?" one of them asked.
"These ladies need their hair done for a ball tomorrow", the woman said.
"Do whatever they tell you to. It's very special". They nodded their heads.
"Michael I would like you to take this young lady", the woman said putting her hand on Raven's shoulder.
"Katie, I would like you to take this young lady, and Caterina I would like you to take Terra". They nodded their heads and motioned for their girl to follow them. Michael told Raven to take a seat in a salon chair.
"What is your name miss?" he asked.
"Raven", she answered.
"Alright then Raven", he said.
"What would you like done?" Raven thought about if for a moment.
"Think that you could give me a different cut hairstyle?" Raven asked. Michael nodded his head.
"Yes indeed. What type of thing would you like?" he asked.
"Can you do something Azarath like?"
"Oh yes!"
"Than Azarath like please". Michael washed her hair and started doing something to her hair.
"Voila! There you are! Tell me how you like it", Michael said. Raven looked at her hair. It was gorgeous. Some how he seemed to have managed to make her hair a darker shade of purple.
"I love it", Raven said. Michael smiled.
"I'm glad you do. You can get off the chair now". Raven got out of the chair and gave him a small tip. Michael smiled. Raven walked over and paid for it and joined Terra and Starfire outside. Terra's hair was now a dirty blonde and had darkish roots. Starfire's hair was actually a dark red, and her bangs had been cut off.
"You guys hungry?" Raven asked.
"Yeah", Terra and Starfire said in unison. They walked into one of the cafés. There was a vampire like butler that seated them.
"I think I've been here before", Raven said. It all looked familiar. This looked like an Azarath café. The butler came back again.
"Would you ladies like something to drink first?" he asked, his voice crackling.
"Yes", Raven said quickly.
"You know what you want?" Raven asked. They nodded their heads.
"I would like a Torgata De Mainsha", Starfire said (These are made up drinks).
"I would like a Morbid Clashen", Terra said.
"And um I would like an um Morbid Tankana", Raven said.
"Is that all?" he asked.
"We all want some water", Raven said. The butler nodded his head and floated away. Terra shuddered.
"That guy gives me the creeps", she said.
"You're sure those drinks are good?" Starfire asked with her eyes narrow.
"I'm positive", Raven said. Just a few seconds later the butler came back with their drinks.
"There you are", he said. They all said, "Thank you". He just nodded his head and floated away again.
"Man he is weird!" Terra said under her breath. Starfire took a little sip of her drink and set it down again.
"Man that is really good!" Starfire exclaimed. Terra tried some of her drink.
"Whoa, those are really good!" Terra said. Raven smiled slyly.
"I told you they were good", she said, taking a sip of her drink. This had to be an Azarath café. All the drinks sounded familiar and so did the food.
"Man, all of this food sounds really good", Terra said.
"Tell me about it", Starfire said.
"Hey, Raven?" Terra asked. Raven looked up from her menu to look at Terra.
"Um, is this thing here good?" Raven looked at where Terra was pointing to on the menu.
"Ah yes. That is an Azarath specialty", Raven said.
"I think I'll get that then. What about you Star?" Starfire put the menu down and looked at Raven.
"Is that good Rae?" she asked pointing to something on the menu. Raven smiled when she saw it.
"Yeah. That's also an Azarath specialty", Raven said. Starfire nodded her head.
"Why don't they tell you what's in the food?" Terra asked as she scanned over the menu again. Raven looked a little uneasy.
"It's because of what they put in the food. It sounds good but I mean they don't want to scare anybody. I'll tell you what it is after we eat", Raven said. Starfire and Terra looked at each other and then back at Raven. Before anything else could be said, the butler came up again.
"Are you ladies ready to order?" he asked his voice crackling with every word he said.
"Yes", Raven said. They ordered their meals and the butler made the menus float towards him. Terra and Starfire both shuddered this time. He quickly floated away.
"Oh... my... god", Terra said.
"That is so freaky!" Starfire exclaimed. Raven just sighed.
"And that's coming from the girl who gets changed and takes showers with all the curtains down and windows open", Raven shot at Starfire. Starfire growled.
"Also considering the size of the windows in Titan's Tower".
"That's none of your business", Starfire grumbled. Raven rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Whatever", Raven said. Then the butler came again and se the food on the table.
"There you are ladies", he said. Terra squeaked and Starfire's hair shot all over the place. The butler paid no mind and just floated away.
"Man this place has ultra fast service!" Terra cried. Raven smiled slyly again.
"And that is coming from the girl who is always nagging Cyborg about taking too much time with Beast Boy. You always want to spend time with BB", Raven said wickedly.
"Considering all the times you two have locked yourselves in each other's rooms together. I don't want to know what you two do in there". Terra blushed.
"Let's just eat", Terra said, obviously not wanting to talk about it. Starfire, Terra, and Raven all bit into their food.
"Oh man this is so good!" Terra said. Raven smiled.
"Told you it was good", Raven said.
"Whoa! That is really good!" Starfire exclaimed. Raven smiled. They were going to kill her once they find out what they just ate. After they had finished their meals and paid for everything Terra asked, "Raven, what did we eat?" Raven heaved a heavy sigh.
"You sure you wanna know?" she said. Starfire and Terra both nodded their heads. Raven sighed again.
"Well Terra, you ate fish eyes, old vegetables, snake skin, cat blood, and crab lungs", Raven said.
"You ate other real stuff like milk, and butter, and stuff like that, but yeah, that's what you ate". Terra's face turned green and so did her eyes.
"Oh, man, I need to go to the bathroom for a moment!" Terra cried and she ran for it. Starfire gulped.
"And you Starfire", Raven said making Starfire sweat.
"You ate bird stomach, snake blood, cow liver, snail slime, and-"
"I don't wanna know!" she cried out, her face turning a light green and running to the bathroom. Raven roared with laughter.
"Well they were gonna have to find out someday", Raven laughed. Terra came back.
"What am I going to say to Beast Boy?" she complained.
"Don't tell him", Raven said.
"Or you could simply tell him the true story and he could kill me later". Terra sighed.
"When Star comes back, can we just get our nails done and do all that other crap and then go home?" Terra asked. Raven smiled.
"Of course Terra", she answered.
"We'll do that". When Starfire finally came back from the bathroom, they just decided to get their nails done.
"You know what", Terra said to Raven as they were getting their nails done.
"I wonder what the boys are doing right now". Raven smiled.
"Probably playing video games or something", she answered.
"You still mad at me?" Raven asked. Terra laughed.
"Of course not!" Terra said.
"But I am glad that you told me after I ate it. I probably would've chickened out if you had told me what it was earlier". Raven smiled. She looked over at Starfire who was still a bit shaky.
"You okay Star?" Raven asked. Starfire nodded her head. Poor Starfire. That had really freaked her out.
"It's okay Raven", Starfire said.
"But you just owe me one". Raven gave her a smile.
"Yes I do. I owe both of you one", Raven said. The friends smiled and gave a little laugh.
"Come on, let's go", Starfire said. They walked out of the nail salon and bought everything else they needed.
"You guys ready to go home?" Raven asked. Both Terra and Starfire said, "Yeah". Raven picked up her communicator and called Cyborg.
"Hey Raven", Cyborg said.
"We're ready to be picked up now", Raven said.
"Alright, we'll be right over", he said. Raven closed her communicator and winked at the other girls. Everybody got into the car and they sighed.
"You girls have fun?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah", Raven said. Terra snuggled up close to Beast Boy and he put his arm around her. She quickly fell asleep.
"Aw", Raven said. Starfire giggled a little. Robin and Raven smiled at each other.
"I got you something", Robin said. Raven smiled at him and turned red. Robin took out a black box and handed it to her.
"Open it", he said. Raven took off the lid and her eyes lit up. It was a 14 karat gold earrings and matching necklace. It had onyxes and rubies on it. Raven looked at Robin smiling and eyes shining.
"I saw that and I instantly thought of you", he said. Raven through her arms around him.
"Thank you Robin!" she cried.
"You're welcome Rae", he said putting his arms around her and gave her a deep kiss.
I know that that was a really long chapter and probably boring so I'm sorry about that! I hope you guys liked it though. I'll talk to you guys later! Love you guys!
