I think I will start off this chapter by telling solodancer789 that of course this story isn't over yet! I wouldn't be that cruel. I mean, I might have to put a cliffhanger at the end of this story, but hey, I'm going to have a sequel and update as fast as I do now! Anyway, as I previewed in chapter 14, there are three more chapters including this one left. Please R&R my sequel as much as you have been reviewing this!

Thanks, Savi, for reviewing! It's no problem about earlier, but I was just wondering. Thanks for listening to that! Also, don't stop R&Ring now; I love having a new reviewer!

Like I said, I'm not doing any more reviewer responses for anyone unless you have a question or if you're new, so if I didn't mention you, then I still love ya for reviewing!

I'll try to update the last three chapters as quickly as I can, because I really want to start the sequel thingy. I can't wait, because I changed my idea for the name, and it's going to be called The New Titans. Anyway, once this one comes out, chapter eighteen should be up in a few days, and then nineteen a few days after that. It might take me a week or so to get the sequel up, but if you've been reading this for a while, then you know how quickly I update compared to everyone else. A week isn't that much compared to some people, is it?

This chapter is about a new Titans leader… and a little green shape-changer proving his real worth and value to the team!

Disclaimer: IDOTT. But I really need this guy's number! I'm dead serious. I mean, it's probably easy to get, but it was sarcastic anyway. Still, have they even REALIZED that the couples need to get together? I mean, I bet there is one person on that show who is a fluff-lover, and that is the only reason they have even HINTS of love.

Dedication: To solodancer789, again, because she has reviewed every single chapter! Thank you so much! You're still my favorite reviewer!

Chapter Seventeen: Dreams Come True

The Tower:

(A/N: It has been about a week since the last chapter. Beastboy has been staying at the Batcave – is that what it's called? – and not doing much, just investigating behind his back. Robin and Starfire are like madly in love by now, only his hasn't taken her on a date yet, because she's still to weak to leave the tower, even though she can walk by now.)

Starfire was asleep. She had often been asleep since "the day" (what the Titans referred to as Philip's death). Still, every night after the others were asleep, she had learned that she could find Robin up on the roof, waiting for her.

Robin was staring at her. He had his mask back on, but she made him take it off every night on the rooftop, telling him that they made her feel "refreshingly warm and comfortably safe." How could he say no to that?

He knew he should have been happy. The girl of his dreams was now his, right? That meant everything. It didn't matter that he couldn't be the Titans leader anymore. But he was still afraid that he wouldn't be the same without his powers… that choosing love over joy was somehow the wrong choice…. But was it?

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

"Is something troubling you, Robin?" Starfire asked Robin timidly. She was just walking onto the roof. He was already there, but he was looking slightly downcast.

He looked up in surprise, and then his look softened when he realized it was only Starfire. "Um, it's nothing really. I was just thinking about the whole leader thing. I decided to give it to Cyborg. I was considering Raven, but there is that whole thing with Beastboy-"

"What is this "whole thing with Beastboy" of which you speak of?"

"Oh, nothing. I just have this gut instinct that they will end up together, or something, so I don't think it would be a good idea."

"I do not understand," Starfire said. "Why must you not be the leader anymore, and even if you do not wish to be leader, what does Beastboy have to do with any of this?"

He shook his head. He knew the others were right – Starfire was naïve. But she knew him better than anyone else, and she knew what to say when he needed encouragement. Only a little frustrated, he explained, "You can't really be the leader and be in love, Star. That was why I never told you until… well, until it was too much to bear."

She jumped up from her seat on the roof next to him. "You cannot be in love and be the leader?" she gasped. "But I do not wish to take your job away from you!"

"Starfire," he said in surprise, "calm down! I don't care, okay? Some things are way more important than work. You're one of them."

She was touched by this, but still aggravated. "Thank you, Robin, but I cannot possibly take your title away from you! Being the Titans Leader is a wondrous accomplishment, I will have you know. I will not let you give that up!"

Now he was extremely taken aback. He knew she cared about him, but he hadn't realized this would be such a problem to her. "Star, I'm not kidding. I can't do both."

"Then I refuse to be in this relationship with you," she said in a choked voice.

"Please," he said, rolling his eyes. "I am not going to end this relationship because of some dumb title that I never even asked for."

Her eyes got big. "Then you really do not mind this? Truthfully?"

"Of course not!" he said quickly. He would miss being the leader, but he had never imagined thinking this severely.

"Wondrous!" she cried happily, running up to him and hugging him. He chuckled as she said, "I did not wish to end this relationship because of your title."

"So," he said. "Do you want to help me with the promotion ceremony or whatever it is? Raven doesn't want to help with another party thing, and Beastboy still isn't back."

She nodded and helped him plan. By the end of the night, they were ready for a new Teen Titan.

The Batcave:

"Aha!" Beastboy shouted delightfully. He had found exactly what he had been looking for: the small video camera that they had found a while back in the Tower. "So," he said suspiciously, pretending that he was a detective. "Either Batman is spying on us or our stalker is also spying on Batman." He grinned. "Now I just have to-"

Before he could finish, a large dog ran up to him and bit him hard, causing him to drop the video camera. Once it fell, the dog bit it, as well, and made sure it was gone for good. Then it started to walk out.

"Give it up, Batman," Beastboy said triumphantly, clutching his bleeding arm in pain. Still, his voice was clear. "I have no doubts that it was you."

The dog turned to look at him, then left. Still, there was no mistake in the glint of his eye.

Beastboy grabbed his communicator. He knew he couldn't contact Raven, Robin, or Cyborg. That left him the cheerful redhead.

The Tower:

"We are in the middle of a ceremony," Starfire whispered into her communicator when in loudly buzzed, shocking the newly promoted Cyborg. "What can possibly be so important, Beastboy?" she asked somewhat angrily. As she was saying this, she excused herself politely and exited the room.

"It's really important," he promised. "I didn't know who to tell, so I sort of found myself wanting to tell you. Anyway, I found out that Batman is the shape-changer who snuck into the Tower. Also, I didn't leave by will. Raven sort of made me. I won't be back for a while."

"Thank you for telling me. The shape-changer part is shocking me, and we will be over as soon as we can. I cannot believe you did not leave by will, I further cannot believe that Raven forced you to leave, and I definitely refuse to believe that you will not be back soon!"

"Whoa," he said in surprise. "Um, what do I say to that?"

"Why did she make you leave?"

"Long story. I'll sum it up. Terra can control minds. She made Raven mad at me. Raven made me leave. Now can we please get back to Batman?"

"I shall talk to Raven on our way over," Starfire promised. As for Batman, I shall make sure that he gets rightful punishments for spying on us. We shall meet you as soon as the ceremony has adjourned."

"Right," he said. "I think that means you're coming when the thingy's over. See ya. Thanks, Star, you're a life saver."

"I do love that sweet candy," she said obliviously, then hung up.

WVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVWVW

"Raven," Starfire said easily when Cyborg had happily accepted his new title. "We do not have much time. Terra can control minds, Beastboy had no choice, and now we know who that shape-changer was, the one with the strange ball of hair and cameras and other such things."

"Excuse me?" Raven asked, for once losing her monotone expression.

"Please, Raven, I am sure that you heard me correctly. Now if you all do not mind, we should really be off to help Beastboy now. He is in quite a lot of trouble."

"Wait," Cyborg said quickly, taking off the tuxedo Robin had made him wear for the occasion. "What's going on? I thought Beastboy was there to, like, talk to Batman?"

"He is not," Starfire replied impatiently, "but he is there for other reasons, reasons of which I shall inform you about later. Now, listen, we must get going. Beastboy says we must meet him at the Batcave as soon as we possibly can. He says that he could be in some trouble."

Cyborg and Raven started to ask more questions, but Robin grabbed them and pulled them outside. Starfire held Robin's hands and flew him there, while Raven made Cyborg a floating skateboard out of her black psychic powers. (A/N: The skateboard from the Kitten episode, you know? And I'm referring to how Robin basically stands upright, only his feet aren't touching the ground, while Star is flat and not upright? It's hard to describe, but they do it in a few episodes in fighting scenes. I think it's just so cool.)

"So," Raven said to Starfire. "Do you really expect me to believe him? About Terra, I mean?"

"I do not know," Star replied uneasily. "But he deserves a chance."

"So," Robin said. "Raven and Beastboy apparently were together. Cyborg gets to be the new Titans leader, Star and I can finally be happy together… and Batman had to go and ruin all of this? I was actually starting to think my dreams were coming true."

Me:

That was shorter than usual, I think. At least, on my computer. But anyway, love me! I mean, this might be a tiny bit of a cliffhanger, what with the whole going-to-figure-out-what's-going-on-with-Batman-and-Terra-and-Melanie thing. But still, it's not nearly the kind of cliffhanger I usually put you on. Anyway, please review! I only got like three reviews so far on chapter 16, and that's the one where they kissed!

So, did you like it? Cyborg is now officially the new Titans leader, leaving Robin and Starfire in happy peace. His leader-ish ceremony was sort of interrupted, and there's the whole fact that Beastboy might die kind of soon if the Titans don't get there to help. But still, things are going pretty well besides that. And I really wish they took Robin's mask off in the show. You know, at least once. The de-masking of Robin is a very important thing.

Anyway, I can't wait until I get my laptop! It should be pretty soon, if what my mom told me was true. Me! Laptop! Yay!

Sorry, that was the insane person inside me. Or the person who is hyper off mentos. Or maybe hyper off blue flowers. Anyway, just review! It's not so hard, and if you don't, then the next chapter – which, need I remind you, is the BEASTBOY HEART RAVEN chapter – might not be as good as you would like. So review!

Luv always,

Kweenie
