I do not own the Teen Titans. I do own Ember and Fletcher, and you may not use them without my consent.

Beastboy and Cyborg were playing game station again after the fight had ended.
"Man they are acting weird. Especially Robin. Since when does he argue with Raven?" Beastboy pressed the gas button with his thumb.
"Don't ask me. Girls are just weird. Always talking and fighting, then they go off and leave us. I just don't get it." Cyborg grimaced as Beastboy passed him. Not for long, he thought with an evil smile on his face. Talking voices caused him to look up. Ember and Star were in the kitchen feasting on a humongous bowl of ice cream.
"And then they come out of their rooms and eat gallons of ice cream?! Girls."
"They're what? Ice cream? Count me in!" Beastboy left the video game in the dust as he flew towards the freezer. "So ladies," Beastboy said with his own gigantic bowl. "May I join you?"
"Of course friend Beastboy!" Starfire and Ember scooted over to make room for the changeling.
"Wait up!" Cyborg joined them. There wasn't any more room, so they resorted to sitting on the couch with their ice cream.
"Let's get Robin and Raven to join us," Beastboy suggested.
"I don't know if that's a good idea B.B.," Cyborg cautioned.
"Ah come on. They don't need to stay in their rooms all day. Time to wake up and smell the ice cream!" Ignoring all of Cyborg's warnings, Beastboy left to invite the two to eat with them. Ember finished her half a bowl and silently followed him.
Beastboy quietly knocked on Raven's door. Though she did not invite him to come in, she opened it wide enough for him to see inside her room. There's a first time for everything, he thought. He was very surprised. Raven must be feeling extra nice today.
"Hey Rae, want to come drink herbal tea while we eat our ice cream?" Beastboy asked hopefully.
"Sorry Beastboy, not today. But you could bring me some if you want." Raven seemed a little distressed.
"Oky-doky." Beastboy turned to leave when a hand stopped him. He turned. Raven's eyes looked at the ground.
"Beastboy, when you bring me my tea, do you want to, maybe, go on the roof and hang out? It's pretty clear tonight." She sighed. "I need to tell someone about these feelings inside my head before I explode, again."
Beastboy was amazed. "Okay, if you're sure. And I promise, I won't tell any jokes."
He skipped down the hall, going to get Raven's tea, and more ice cream. Raven watched him a moment, then closed her door.
Ember was amazed. Raven? With Beastboy? An odd couple, but that was their choice. Since Beastboy was going to be busy with Raven, she took it upon herself to ask Robin if he wanted to join the ice cream party. She lifted her hand to knock on his door, but she just couldn't do it. She turned around just as the door opened.
"Did you want to ask me something?" The voice was welcoming.
"Well, we were having an ice cream party in the living room, and we wanted to know if you wanted to join us." Ember was a little uncomfortable around Robin ever since he and Raven got in their fight.
"Sure. Ember, would you come in for a minute?" He opened the door to her. She casually looked around the room, then went and sat on his bed, waiting for him to say something. He finally did.
"Ember, I know Raven doesn't like it, but I love you. And I know you love me. You're trying to mask it for Star, but I can tell what you really feel." He came and sat next to her. "You love me just as much as I love you."
No! I don't love you! I won't! My promise to Starfire… but she couldn't help herself. He leaned toward her, and they kissed. For one moment, they were bonded, and nothing on the earth could tear them apart. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and she and him disappeared. The two floated through the roof. Neither heard the gasp that followed them.
Their outlines flew through the night sky together as one, the stars twinkling above them. No one could see them as they landed on the top of the Titans roof.
As the moment broke, Robin looked at Ember with a very confused and happy look.
"I didn't know you could make others disappear! And you can fly? I didn't know that!"
"Neither did I," Ember said, blushing. The two were alone on the roof together for half an hour, talking, laughing, completely unnoticed by the world that despised their love.
"But Robin, we can't go on after this night. It's been fun, but-" He smiled and stopped her. Ember's heart was full of sorrow. She knew what he was going to say. Though he thought it was possible, they would never be together, no matter how much they disliked it. She had already broken her promise to Starfire.
"But what? Ember, I love you, and I'm not going to let anything take you away from me."
Ember heard something fly through the air. An older teen landed directly in between them.
"So sorry to ruin your moment," he sneered. "But I'm going to take her away from you, so you better get used to it."

Uh, guys? I'm changing my email address and all that other junk, so don't expect any more chapters for a while. But it'll have the same title, just a different pen name. Okay? Okay.
