I don’t own Teen Titans, but if you give me a quarter, I’ll have twenty- five cents.

"She ditched us!" Beastboy exclaimed a line only heard once before in Raven's mind. "I can't believe she ditched us!"

"Calm down, BB." Cyborg said, cracking his neck muscles. "She probably just went back to the tower."

"Yes, she did look somewhat perturbed at the café." Starfire nodded. "Perhaps she just needs to 'cool off'." Robin didn't say anything. He turned around and watched the truck with Fang's body in it drive away. He couldn't stop thinking about what he saw back inn the café. As he watched the two of them go, he had wanted so badly to run after them and beat the life out of Goth so it would be months before he was released. And Years before he even thought about looking at Raven again.

But he couldn't. Technically, neither of them had done anything wrong. Just two crazy teens, everyone else would say. Raven didn't need any help from anyone. She was in control of her life, no one else.

"Hey Robin! Get over here!" Cyborg beeped the horn of the T-car. Robin turned back around and walked briskly over to the blue-and-white shining car. How could Raven stand being with... with...It really didn't matter who she was with. It wasn't him. And the way they looked at each other, the way they couldn't even take the time out to go somewhere private to profess their love to each other,

It would probably never be him.

He reached the car and pulled the door open, sliding into shotgun. Cyborg stepped on the gas pedal as soon as the door clicked close. Robin had already paid for the damages to the café.

They drove in silence for a while. Then Starfire's head popped up in between the two seats.

"I know Raven isn't here with us, but perhaps we could visit the park, and buy some I-Scream?" She asked somewhat hopefully. "We could also bring Raven some."

"You know, that's not such a bad idea." Cyorg said, slowing the car down. "Ya'll want to try that out?"

Beastboy and Starfire both nodded eagerly. Robin just sort of shrugged. The tires of the car made a screeching noise as it made a U-turn. They sped off towards the park in slightly higher spirits than before. At least for now.

At The Park

"Greetings! I would like to request a scoop of mustard flavored I-Scream." Starfire said happily to the man behind the ice cream cart.

He stared at her. "Uh...we don't carry that flavor." "Oh. Then maybe you have coffee flavored?"

The man nodded, and pulled out the ice cream scoop. He put the ice cream in a cone, and then handed it to Starfire. "Next."

"Hi. Let me have a cone with tofu tutti frutti ice cream."

His received a weird look too, but found the desired ice cream and handed it to Beastboy. "Next."

"Strawberry ice cream with non pariels." Cyborg choice of ice cream-topping combination earned him a weird look from everyone, including Starfire. He shrugged and started eating it.

"Next."

"Um..I'll take a Rocky Road." Robin said absentmindedly. The man scooped it up and gave it to him. "What about Raven?" Beastboy asked.

"Perhaps she would like something like some lemon-chocolate-strawberry I- Scream?" Starfire suggested.

"Um... perhaps not." Beastboy sweatdropped.

"It's ok. I got it covered." Cyborg walked back to the cart. "One Vanilla Fudge Ripple in a cup, please."

Cyborg walked back to the group, finishing off his own cone. "Here." He tossed the cup to Robin, who caught it.

"How do you know Raven enjoys this flavor?" Starfire asked.

Cyborg shrugged. "I see it in the back of the freezer sometimes. I figured no one else likes it."

Beastboy nodded. "Good thinking."

"Hey, where's Star?"

The three of them turned around to witness Starfire at a hotdog stand, pouring mustard all over her ice cream.

At The Tower

"RAVEN! WE ARE ALL HOME!" Starfire's voice echoed through the silent tower. "WHERE ARE YOU, SO THAT WE MAY GREET YOU?"

She received no answer, and a look of puzzlement crossed her face. "RAVEN?"

"RAVEN!? RAV-"Cyborg clapped his hand over her mouth. "Shutup, Star. You're giving me a headache." "Maybe she didn't get here yet." Beastboy said.

"I don't think so. We've been gone for about fifteen minutes, and it only takes us five to get home."

"She's probably in her room." Beastboy said. "Hey, Cy, I bet I could beat you in 'Super Ninja Fury'!"

"You're on! Winner gets to finish Starfire's healing pudding!"

"I shall make more!" Starfire exclaimed, running after them. Leaving Robin alone. Again.

He sighed as he got a strong jolt of déjà vu. He looked down at the ice cream in his hand. Robin wished he could just go play video games and eat with the rest of them. Unfortunately, he could not. One thing he hated most about himself was his curiosity. It killed the cat, remember. 'Or the Robin.' He thought to himself as he climbed up the stairs.

His steps slowed as he neared Raven's room. He turned to face her door, raised his free hand, and knocked.

No answer.

Robin sighed as he took out his access key. He opened the door, and then looked in.

He didn't see anything. Raven wasn't there. Neither was Goth.

Robin smiled in relief and closed the door behind him. At least he didn't have to relive that earlier scene. He didn't feel like falling down the stairs again. But he still didn't know where Raven was.

With no other real place to look, Robin made his way up to the roof. He opened the door and to the last step up. Sure enough, she was levitating just behind the edge of the building, her royal blue cloak floating slightly behind her from the small breeze.

"Raven?"

She lifted her head. "Yes?"

"Here. She lowered herself to the ground, then stood up and turned to face him. "What?"

"We had gone out for ice cream, and we brought this back for you. Cy said you like Vanilla Fudge Ripple."

Raven pulled her hood off, revealing a hint of surprise on her face. "Y- yeah, I do. Thank you." She took the cup from his outstretched hand. "You said Cyborg told you?"

"Yeah. He says there's usually a supply of it in the freezer."

She nodded and sat back down on the roof, taking the plastic top off and setting it down in front of her. She looked at it for a second, then turned to Robin with a sort of half smile.

"How am I supposed to eat it?"

His eyes widened. "Oh. Sorry. I forgot about that."

She turned back around, facing in front of it. "It's fine." She held one of her hands in front of her, and it started glowing. A black spoon with a white outline materialized out of nowhere. She guided the spoon to the ice cream and back to her mouth, after taking a generous scoop out of the cup. Robin watched her for a while, then hesitantly took a seat next to her.

"So, Raven." Robin began when she was done. "I wanted to talked to you-"

"-About earlier." She finished. "It was a mistake. He didn't mean to. It was a-"

"I'm not done." He said quietly. "This morning I was looking for you, and I sorta opened your door. I saw you two. It was an accident."

"You went into my room?"

He hadn't expected this. He thought she would deny everything, until he got it out of her.

"Well...yes." Robin admitted.

Raven glowered. "I have told everyone else millions of times before to not go into my room. What makes you think you are exempt?"

"N-nothing. I was worried."

"You should not be worried about me. I am capable of taking care of myself." She stood up, casting him a glare.

"Raven, wait!" He stood up as well. "It was an accident. I hadn't meant to see."

"Like you didn't mean to open my door and look in?" Raven's sarcasm was kicking in.

"You shouldn't be keeping secrets from us!"

"You should respect my privacy."

Robin stood there and watched her walk across the roof to the door. When she was reaching out for the doorknob, he shouted,

"What about your emotions? Wouldn't the tower have blown up while you were... you were..." He couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Lust is not an emotion, Robin." Raven paused. "It is a sin. One of the seven deadly ones, in fact."

She opened the door, then turned her head back around.

"Like envy."

Raven shut the door behind her.

There it went. Chapter four. I might not update for a while, because my parent have me on lockdown. Idiots.

That's basically all I have to say. Please review.

Love and razors,
