Chapter IV

Robin and Starfire were sitting in the living room, when the door slid open. Startled by this, they suddenly separated from each other. They had just been having an innocent conversation, but their close proximity would have made you think otherwise. A slight shade of red could be seen on their cheeks, as they realized how conspicuous they must have looked. Embarrassment was quickly replaced with shock and worry, when an injured Cyborg limped into the large room. Sparks shot out from his leg, where torn wires were hanging toward the floor. His left forearm, no longer attached to the rest of the appendage, was instead in the grasp of its counterpart. Waving the metallic limb to get the attention of his astonished teammates he said, "A little help here," with a surprising cheeriness to his voice.

Five minutes earlier in the hallway outside Raven's door, a frightened teen backed away from the opening. Lightening bolts of a black hue escaped from the dark room. "What?" This was all he heard, before dark energy launched him across the corridor and against the wall. The impact was great but had not hurt him too badly, or so he thought. As he tried to lift himself off the floor, he saw his arm lying beside him. Amazed at the situation, he began to stand as his assailant ran toward him. Not wanting to make him think she was moving in for the kill, she stopped herself halfway. With more emotion in her voice than usual, she softly screamed, "Cyborg..." but was cut off before she could finish. "I'm okay Rae." Seeing the concern on her face he continued, "Don't worry about it." "I am so sorry," was all she said before quickly returning to her room. He picked his arm off the floor and hobbled down the hall. "I didn't think my question was this big of a deal" he shrugged, frowning at is broken arm.

The door slammed shut behind her as she entered her room. "What did I just do?" She asked herself, still in shock at her outburst. She could have really hurt her friend. And his question did not warrant the response she had unleashed on him. Of course his question was not the main reason she had reacted in such a hostile manner. She was about to have her first kiss, or hug, or close proximity to a boy that she liked, who actually seemed to like her back. That was until Cyborg had interrupted them. Beginning to get mad all over again, torn pages were circling her body. She noticed a small cat cowering in a corner. The humor of this sight made her anger fade and she walk toward the feline. She knelt down to pick up the animal, who backed even further to the wall. The light scowl she gave made him freeze, allowing her to acquire him from the floor. Holding him in her arms, her expression reformed to a smile, followed by a small giggle that lit the dull room.

Cradled in her grasp, the cat's jaw dropped, which caused even more giggles to fill the air. Beast Boy couldn't believe it, he had wanted to hear this so many times and it was as wonderful as he had imagined. He leapt from her care, morphing to his normal form in mid-flight. The room fell silent, once again, when he landed on the floor. Standing in front of the girl he chuckled, "First a smile and now a giggle. What's next?" The smile lingered on her face as she replied, "We will just have to find out." "Maybe a full blown laugh?" He asked. She shot him a menacing look, "Don't push it." He was once again moving closer to her before he forced himself to stop. The moment they were having was great but he didn't want to chance messing it up. "I better go before someone else comes knocking," he said. Mentally kicking himself for stopping, he walked for the door. Peeking out, he couldn't see anybody, it was safe. Before he exited the room he turned around to Raven and said, "Don't forget, you said it would be nice to go out sometime and I'm going to hold you to that date." Smiling he strode off to make plans for their date.

Storming out of the room, the leader of the Titans was fuming. He didn't take kindly to friends hurting one another like this and he was going to make sure that little miss goth knew it. The tall alien girl followed at his heels. More saddened by the event then angered, she was contemplating why their team was falling apart. Pulling up the rear, a now repaired half robot tried to calm his to overreacting pals. "Hey guys, calm down." He said with no success. "It was an accident. Look I'm fixed and way over it." Then a wire popped out of his leg and he grinned. "Well I'm over it anyway." Still on the warpath, Robin turned the corner. Just then the door to Raven's room opened, causing the trio jump back behind the wall and snoop around it.

Beast Boy was walking out when he turned and spoke back into the room. The spies held their breath, as they tried to hear what he was saying. They heard the last thing that BB said to the person in the room before heading down the hall. After the door shut and their green friend was out of sight, they relaxed. Awe struck, they made a u-turn and went back down the hall. Arriving in the living room, they all plopped down on the huge sofa. Silence filled the air, until finally Cyborg spoke up. "Did he just ask her on a...?" "Yep," answered Robin, not letting his friend finish. "No wonder she was mad I bothered her." Cy said while a big smile formed on his face. Both pals looked at each other and said, "About time he asked her." Then a confused orange girl poked up in between them. "About time he asked her what?" She questioned her teammates. Amazed by her naivety, Robin explained to her what Beast Boy had asked Raven. A scream of joy erupted from the girl as she flew around the room.

Back in Raven's room, items of many different shapes and sizes were caught in a dark whirlwind of her emotions. She stood in the center of it all, not even caring that her belongings were being destroyed. This was because she was not aware of their impending doom, since her mind was somewhere else entirely. "A date," her mind asked. "What would you do on a date?" Her mind was right, what would she do. She doesn't like to go out in public, unless to save someone. "Well you could try, since it is with Beast Boy." Her heart threw that thought out there. She blushed at this, even though no one else was around. "Yeah, knowing him he will probably want to go to an arcade or some horribly cheesy kung-fu/mutant-zombie/giant robot movie," her mind protested. "No I bet it will be a very romantic evening," stated her heart. "SHUT UP!" Raven screamed silently to herself. This woke her from her trance. Seeing the mess she was making, she came to a decision. If just thinking about going out with him was doing this, then she would have to tell him no. She couldn't take the chance of hurting someone. She tried to meditate, but the havoc in her room continued as a great sadness filled her being.

"Okay, I have a date with Raven." The statement made BB screech to a halt after he stepped in his room. "Holy crap!" Running around the room, he couldn't decide if he should be happy or scared to death. His conclusion was both? He was happy that he had asked her and she had said yes. But he was also scared that he was going to screw it up somehow. After all he was Beast Boy, the biggest screw up in the whole city. Calming himself, he set on his bottom bunk and began to think. "Now what would be a good date to take Raven on?" He asked the emptiness of his room. "I know," exclaimed BB. "How about the arcade or that awesome new movie Mega-Robox VS The Mutant Ninja Zombies." He shook his head at the idea. "No you idiot," he said beating himself on the head. "I need to come up with something that she would like to do." He sat still and thought about what Raven DID like to do. "Let's see: Meditate, be creepy, Meditate, read, Meditate, anything gothy, Meditate. WAIT, that's it," he thought. Jumping off his bed, he rummaged threw pile after pile of clothes, that were now back in their rightful place on the floor. He pulled a small laptop computer from under one of the heaps and set it on his bed.

Powering it up, he was getting mad at how slow it was. "We have high-speed wireless internet, but this thing is slower than my calculator." Finally he googled for "Jump City, Goth Hang Outs" The search sent back a surprisingly large list of "Goth" things to do in town. He looked over them, thinking, "No, too freaky; No, too expensive; No, too scary; Yikes people really do that, that's just sick." The last site almost made him puke. But then he saw it, the perfect place for his date with the goth queen. Excited that he had found something that he thought for sure she would like, and he was willing to do, he finished his plan for their perfect date.

Hours later, it was almost time for the guardians of the city to turn in for the night. All of the heroes were ready for bed except for the green one. He pushed his anxiety back down to his stomach, as he lightly rapped on his "friend's" door. Had it been anyone else he would not bother them at this hour, but he knew that she would still be awake. He imagined her hovering Indian style over her bed. Wearing a lavender night gown and reading a book that was way too deep for someone her age. His vision was halted by an answer to his call. The door slide open a few inches as a deep purple orb appeared in the space. He was surprised to see that she did not have her hood covering her face as usual.

"Hi Raven," he said, trying to sound as confident as possible. "Yes," she replied, mildly irritated. "I made plans for our date and I wanted to see if the time was good for you." She knew what she had to do. "I can't go out with you Beast Boy." Her words cut him like a thousand knives and his deep disappointment was all too visible to Raven. "What, why not," heart broken, could barely get the words out. At that moment she stopped breathing. The pain she was causing him was too much for her heart to take, so it took control of her mind and voice. "When would you like to go out, Beast Boy?" With this, the green titan sprang back to life. "Really! I mean, I was thinking 8 o'clock Friday night." He said with new found enthusiasm. "Okay, where are we going," she asked with way to much eagerness in her voice. "It's a surprise," he said, fangs showing from his extra wide grin. "Let's meet in the living room around 7:30 and we will head out." She tried hard to get her composure back and finally said, "Okay, it's a date." She began to close the door, but he stopped it with his hand. She almost gasp as a radiant green eye stared back at her. "Make sure you wear something nice, other than your costume." With this he let her door shut and went off to bed. Raven walked to her bed, lifted the large book off and set it on her desk. She laid on top of the covers in her lavender night gown, and went to sleep with a small smile on her face.

OK How am I doing? Good? Bad? Let me know, please.
