I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!! Ok, so sorry for the extreme lack of updates, I only get to write these stories at night, so, it all depends on the homework I have. Luckily for tonight, I finished that stupid Algebra BEFORE I began this chapter so YAY!!! Now I have to decide what to do about that Biology exam....

Marchwarden's Blue Eyed Shadow: Patience. Patience. Of course I'm going to put some evil in it!!! Just not yet. The first few chapters have to introduce the character before I can go into a deeper plot. I have the entire story done in my head, I just have to find the time to type it up and submit it. Like I said before, I'm a slow typer, and along with the fact that my times that I am able to write chapters are few, well, it all adds up to a story that takes awhile to develop. Sorry if the story disappointed you in any way.

Clouded Leopard: thanks again for your very inspirational reviews!! I really appreciate it!! Keep reviewing!

Also, this chapter shows the girl-crazy side to Beast Boy, and don't try to say he doesn't have a girl-crazy side, because we all know he does. It's just like one of those instant crushes that he gets that go away after a few days. Well, from what I've seen, that has happened to BB quite a few times!! I will, although, make him end up with Raven in the end.

Getting to know You

It was since yesterday the last time they had seen the girl. Cyborg had brought up several times how she could have possibly done that performance with the fire without some sort of superpower. Starfire, also intrigued with what Cyborg had to say about the gypsy, suggested that they meet the girl.

"It would be most enjoyable to see her again, and we could possibly make a new friend." Her normally cheerful voice at it's highest.

"I'd like to see her again", Beast Boy said, with glazed hearts in his eyes. (We can all imagine it, can't we?)

"I dunno," Robin began. "Wouldn't it be kinda weird, since, you know, we just saw her last night?"

"Man, all we wanna do is meet the girl, it's not like she's gonna be here for long." Cyborg replied. Raven suddenly cut in with her low, monotone voice,

"Besides, the circus leaves in a week, so, if we do want to meet her, we need to do it now."

"OK!! OK!! LET'S GO!!!" Beast Boy looked like he was on a sugar-high. He was anxiously bouncing around, waiting for the final answer from Robin.

"Sure.Why not?"

"Wonderful!!!" Starfire squealed with delight as they scrambled into the T-Car (do you think Cyborg was going to let them take any other form of transportation? HECK NO!!).

As they pulled up into the circus' parking lot, they began to walk towards the giant, colorful tent. It was about noon, so the titans knew very well that the actual shows wouldn't be starting until 4:00. They had plenty of time.

The five teen superheroes cautiously walked into the big top, afraid that they would interrupt something. But they didn't. The performers were merely rehearsing their numbers, while their instructors would supervise them. The titans looked around the arena, searching for the Bohemian.

Starfire suddenly spotted the gypsy-girl on the far corner of the tent, watching the performers do their acts. She sped over to the pretty girl and immediately introduced herself.

"Hello!!! I am Starfire of Tamaran! What is your name?" Starfire's high-pitched, happy outburst made the girl smile. Dimples appeared on her cheeks.

"Paige," the Egyptian said with a happy, gentle voice.

"My friends and I saw your performance yesterday," Starfire said, still grinning, "You were wonderful!!"

Paige's cheeks turned bright red. She wasn't used to this kind of admiration outside of her performing.

"You MUST meet my friends!!!" Starfire yanked Paige across the room where the other four titans were still making their way across the arena.

"Friends," Starfire began, "this is Paige,"

The Bohemian looked at the titans and smiled. The other titans weren't used to seeing her smile before. Last night she had to use so much of her concentration, so her face hadn't shown as much emotion as it did now. Her wavy blonde hair gently fell over her shoulders. Her white, pink, and purple gypsy dress swayed around her curvy figure. She looked even more beautiful in person.

"Hello," she said happily.

Beast Boy puffed out his chest, "So, I'll bet you've heard a lot about us," he said in a very cocky voice.

"Actually, no." the Egyptian looked at them in naïve interest. "I haven't heard about you, but I would like to. The circus never stays in one place for very long, so I don't know much about the so-called "celebrities" of each city I visit. I would like to get to know you, though. I've already met Starfire" she said with a chuckle at recalling the alien's hiper introduction.

"Well, first of all," robin stepped forward, "we are the teen titans. We protect this city with our special abilities. I'm Robin." He held out his hand for her to shake. She took it and greeted him very politely. Raven then stepped forward.

"I'm Raven." Paige looked at Raven in awe, knowing a true goth when she saw one.

"What is your special ability?" Paige asked curiously.

"Telekinesis, telepathy, forshadowing, and other psychic powers." For the first time, as she said this, Raven actually became proud of her talents. When you say it out loud it just makes it sound more impressive.

"Wow. Can you show me?"

"Sure." She then enveloped a few cannon balls with her black energy and threw them across the room with her powers.

The gypsy stood wide-eyed at the goth. "That was amazing!"

"Wanna see what I can do?" Beast Boy stepped up so that Paige could see him. She nodded.

Beast Boy then morphed himself into several different animals. Paige began to giggle,

"You're funny," She glanced his way, "you know you could make a fortune if you were in the circus."

"Really?" the hearts in his eyes were suddenly replaced by stars, as he imagined his fame. Raven snapped him back to his senses

"Oh, and by the way, my name's Beast Boy."

"Nice to meet you." As she shook his hand he melted into a puddle of love (not really love, but, you know what I mean).

"Hello, little lady. I'm Cyborg."

"So, what can you do?" Paige asked with curiosity.

"I'm half robot. I can do robot stuff." He then showed her his sonic cannon.

"Wow. You guys are cool. So, you're saying you fight crime?"

"Plenty of it." Cyborg replied.

"How old are you?" Beast Boy said in earnest.

"Fourteen. I'll be fifteen this summer."

"So," Robin began, "tell us more about yourself."

"Well, when I was four years old, my family was killed in a fire. The gypsies then found me, raised me, and taught me circus acts.

"I always wondered why I never looked like everyone else. It would sometimes upset me greatly. But my friends would always tell me that I was exactly where I belonged, and that would make me feel better.

"But when I was thirteen years old, my parents finally told me that I wasn't a full-blooded gypsy, and that my real family died in a fire. They they didn't know how I survived, or how I hadn't been burned, but they saved me. The gypsies are my family, and they are a part of me.

"But enough about me, you need to meet my friends!!"

She led the titans outside to where the gypsy-carts stood. There the titans saw a boy about a foot taller than Paige; he was about 17 years old. He was painting on a canvas when the titans spotted him.

"Hey, Jacob! Come here!"

The boy walked over to the titans; he had brown hair with blonde highlights with a bowl-cut style. He, like some of the other gypsies, had tan skin and brown eyes.

"Titans, this is Jacob. He's one of my best friends." She blushed as she took Jacob's hand to lead him over to where the titans stood.

"Hello". He said in his deep voice.

"Jacob makes the woodwork that we use in the circus and paints them," she explained.

"Jacob, these are the teen titans; Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, and Cyborg."

"Nice to meet you." He said calmly.

"Likewise." Robin said.

"Jacob," Paige began, "do you know where my friends are?"

"Sure. They're on the other side of the tent."

"Thanks." She blushed again as she said goodbye to Jacob.

Paige then lead the titans where Jacob had directed. The gypsy then squealed in delight as she ran up to a girl about her own height; she had brown, waist-length hair and hazel eyes. She looked like she was about Paige's age. The two girls began to chatter about normal things that girls talk about, when Paige remembered why she had brought her friend.

"Guys," she said, noticeably in a happier tone, "this is my best friend, Alexandria, but we call her Alexis."

The titans surveyed Paige's best friend; she was very thin, and a little taller than Paige, about Starfire's height.

"Alexis, these are the teen titans," and introduced them once more. Alexis smiled at them

"Hello." She said cheerfully. Obviously Paige and Alexis had a few things in common; they were both good natured.

"Nice to meet you."

"Hi."

"Sup."

"Hello."

"GREETINGS NEW FRIEND!!!" (let's try and guess who said that).

Paige turned back to her best friend,

"Alexis, where's my family?"

"Over there," she pointed to the right.

"Thanks. See you later!!" she waved goodbye to Alexis as she and the titans made their way over to one of the gypsy carts. They walked inside.

"Clopin!!" Paige squealed in happiness. The boy from the night of Paige's performance stood before them.

"Hello, sister!!" she ran up to her brother and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you brother, I didn't see you yesterday." Clopin ran his fingers through her wavy hair,

"I'm sorry, sis, but mom and dad sent me on a few errands."

"It's ok. Hey, guys, meet my brother, Clopin."

"But, I am confused," Starfire began, "he is your..." Robin stopped her and gave her a look that told her that he wasn't really her brother, but he was like a brother figure to her.

".....brother." she finished.

"Got to go, Clopin, I'm gonna introduce my new friends to mom and dad." Clopin nodded.

"Be safe now, sister." Cyborg could tell that this boy was protective of his little sister, as he saw the naivete on her face as she called back,

"I will."

They walked over to another gypsy-cart.

"Mom! Dad!" she hugged them as well. She looked towards the titans.

"This is my mother, Marcia." (pronounced mar-SEE-uh) Marcia had short, curly, brown hair and brown eyes.

"It is very nice to meet you." She said politely.

"and this is my father, David." He had black hair with a mustache.

"Hello."

The titans all replied in unison,

"Nice to meet you, too."

"Now, guys, let's meet my other friends."

Paige then waved goodbye to her family and continued to another side of the tent.

"Hey guys!! Miss me?"

The group of kids that were Paige's other friends weren't gypsies, but some of them looked pretty strange. But, then again, they were in a circus, they were supposed to look weird.

Paige then introduced them to a variety of kids. They all seemed to be about Paige's age, but some of them looked a little older. She first brought up a girl with brownish-red hair.

"This is Ronnie, she can train any animal that we have here in the circus."

She then came to an African-American boy with dyed blonde hair.

"This is Evan, he's one of the archers."

Next came a very large, heavy-set boy with blonde hair.

"This is Frederick, one of the strongest men in the world."

Then came a girl with short black hair and red highlights.

"This is Wanda; she is in charge of all of the witchcraft, magic tricks, and other 'unexplained' talents."

Raven eyed Wanda with a look that said "amateur".

Next came another boy,

"This is Samuel, he's the human cannonball."

Then came a boy with dark black hair that he had dyed blue.

"and this is Curtis, he is one of the acrobats."

All of them waved and said hello as the titans introduced themselves. After Paige's friends had left, Paige turned to the titans,

"You know, the show doesn't start for another couple of hours. Do you wanna hang out here?"

"Alright."

"Sure."

"Glorious."

"I was hoping you'd never ask."

"Sounds like fun."

The next hour was a blur of fun. Paige showed them all of the tricks she and her friends could do. Robin watched in awe as the acrobats performed countless flips, turns, and dismounts, making his martial arts look like a simple cartwheel. Cyborg took particular interest in the people who could lift extremely heavy objects, much like him. Raven was intrigued by the witches and magicians. Starfire thoroughly enjoyed the cannonball shooting, because, in her opinion, it made the people look like they were flying. She was also wondered how they stayed safe the entire time. Beast Boy, of course, favored the animal shows over everything else.

After watching a few more acts, Starfire noticed Jacob painting on a canvas.

"What are you doing?" She asked earnestly.

"A picture for Paige. She loves art. I have been giving her lessons, and she's really getting good at it. Would you give her this for me?"

"Of course!" Starfire took the picture and carefully flew to where Paige sat, afraid she may drop the painting.

"Paige, Jacob made this for you."

"He did? Oh, that was so sweet of him!" She looked at the picture admiringly.

"He also said that you were greatly improving in your 'lessons of art', and that you are very good at it."

"He really said that?" She began to blush furiously.

"Paige, why is your face the color of a Zenonian glordox?

"Huh? Oh," the Egyptian girl's face went back to its normal color.

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

As Starfire began to protest, Raven walked up to them.

"Mind if I join you?" she said in her emotionless tone.

"Not at all," Paige replied quickly, happy to change the subject. Raven spoke up again,

"This whole magic thing you've got here, Paige, is pretty interesting."

"Thanks, but it's really Wanda who gets all the credit. She's so good at magic and witchcraft."

"You're pretty different yourself." Raven said, "How did you get your powers?"

"Quite frankly, I don't even know. All I remember is that I once had a family that wasn't associated with the gypsies, and the fire. I don't know if I was born with the gift, or if the fire somehow had an effect on me. Like I said, when they found me, I was in the middle of the flaming building, but not one burn was on my body. It's really weird." She then spoke up again,

"Hey, we should all go somewhere. Somewhere fun."

"It sounds most enjoyable!!"

"Define fun." Raven said, afraid Paige would bring them to some sort of beauty salon that Starfire would like.

"I mean, like, 'theme park and see a movie' fun."

"Sure."

"Great! I'll get Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy."

Paige was back in a few minutes with the three boys. She had already told them the plan. They all anticipated the events that were to come.

"Wait a sec," Paige said, "I need to change."

She came back about ten minutes later. She wasn't wearing her gypsy dress anymore. Instead she wore a red blouse with navy-blue jeans.

"Ready?" Robin asked her. She nodded happily. Robin then said,

"Ok, then, lets go!"

Before they knew it, an alien, a boy wonder, a gypsy, a changeling, a half robot, and a mystic were all jammed into the T-Car.

They then went to the theme park on the pier for the next four hours. They then saw a movie and went to get pizza afterwards. They spent two more hours just sitting in the pizza restaurant, getting sugar-high on soda, cracking each other up, and talking into the night. The gypsy also took this opportunity to show the titans brilliant displays of her powers to create and control fire. All of the titans agreed that they hadn't had so much fun in such a long time. It was so comfortable around the Bohemian. After that night, it was as if she had known them for years, and yet it had only been twelve hours since they had met. After their night of hilarity and fun, the titans invited Paige back to the tower for the night, for it was already midnight, and everyone was getting sleepy.

"I don't know if I should," Paige said hesitantly.

"Oh, but you must partake in the sleeping over of our house." Starfire said happily, although she knew she was getting tired herself. Cyborg chimed in,

"Besides, your family knows you're here. It wouldn't be all that bad, now, would it?"

"No, not at all. I just don't want to impose."

"Have you seen titans tower?" Beast Boy asked, "We have plenty of room."

"And I need you to teach me some of those flips and stuff that your acrobats do." Robin said.

"And you need to teach me some of those spells." Raven said with a bit of a smile.

"Oh, ok." The gypsy nodded, with a smile forming on her face.

So, Starfire suggested that they all get sleeping bags and pillows and all have a big sleepover in the living room. They all agreed. That sleepover was almost as fun as the night out. Once in their sleeping bags, they talked long into the night about anything and everything. They turned the lights out and Raven told ghost stories, and scared them out of their minds. Beast Boy and Cyborg made shadow characters with the flashlights. Finally, each of them fell asleep.

When morning came all too soon, there was the usual feud over who was to make breakfast. Robin then suggested that Cyborg and Beast Boy each make it their own way. So the titans all enjoyed Pancakes (with and without soy milk), Waffles, tofu sausages, bacon, and eggs.

After breakfast, Paige spoke up,

"Guys, it's been so much fun, but I really need to get back to the circus." Robin stepped up to her,

"Paige, the titans and I have been talking, and we think that you should join the team." He handed her a communicator.

"You mean, be a teen titan?" she looked truly shocked.

"Yeah," Cyborg boomed, "We could use someone like you on the team. Your powers are awesome and we couldn't bear for you to leave." Paige still hadn't gotten over her shock.

"Are you serious?" She started to smile brilliantly.

"Yep." Beast Boy beamed. Raven eyed her with a small grin,

"So, do you accept?" her usually deadpanned voice had a strip of playfulness in it.

"Of course I do!! This is totally awesome!" she suddenly ran forward and gave them all a huge hug.

"I am very excited that you have chosen to stay with us, friend!!" Starfire smiled happily. Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other with the same thought in their minds as they almost yelled in unison,

"This calls for a celebration!! A giant, all-day, movie marathon!!!"

Paige laughed as Beast Boy and Cyborg bickered over the terribly hard decision of whether to watch "Ninja showdown," or "Godzilla".

Whew!!! You have to admit, that was pretty long! Well, hoped you liked it, please review!!
