Chapter 3: Clothes, Make Up and Herbal Tea

Beast Boy awoke from a dream he had about his and Ravens date tonight. After about 5 minutes of daydreaming about his dream he slowly got up out of his bed, changed into his normal outfit and went downstairs to see the rest of the Titans. Robin and Cyborg sat on the couch content with the Kung-Fu game they were playing, Starfire sat next to them looking at the game but not as intensely as Robin and Cyborg. As soon as he seemed to pass behind the couch Starfire turned around and in a happy voice said "YOU HAVE FINALLY ADMITTED YOUR LOVE FOR RAVEN!! CONGRADULATIONS!! WHEN IS THE WEDDING??" Beast Boy nearly tumbled over "Were not getting MARRIED!" he said empathizing the word married. "But... her face as she said this. "Well yeah... but if we get married we won't get married now where still only teens!!" Beast Boy argued. "Oh well... Whatever? That is used in the proper text is it not Robin??" Robin sat on the couch and sounding as attentive as possible without dieing on the game he replied "Yep! That's totally right Star!" Starfire smiled happily at her accomplishment then turned herself back around facing the TV. Beast Boy looked at the TV then noticed that.... Raven wasn't there. "Guy where's Raven?" he asked looking around the room slowly. Cyborg was the first to answer, "She's... well I doubt she's still sleeping but she hasn't come down yet."

"Yes I think I will go up and see if she is alright." Starfire said as she got up off the couch and started to fly up the stairs.

Raven sat in a booth with Beast Boy at Pizza Delight® waiting for there pizza to come. They were in a conversation about traveling. Suddenly she realized Beast Boy drawing closer and closer to her face and that's when it happened.... he kissed her. She felt herself loose her guard and an emotion toke over... then after a struggle for the emotion to leave she lost and kissed back. Suddenly Beast Boy started to turn Black and White and was slammed against the wall and knocked unconscious. Raven screamed and then... She was in her room dripping in sweat with someone knocking on her door. "Raven? Raven are you hurt? What is the matter? Why do you not reply to me?"

"You can come in Star." Raven said realizing it was just a dream.

Starfire rushed into her room. "Good you are undamaged! We were all very worried because you had not awoken and it is not like you to sleep so long! Are you sick?" Starfire said while sitting down on the bed. "You are bleeding clear blood!!" she gasped, "I must get help!" she started to fly out the door when Raven called after her "No Star wait!! Its just sweat... you know what happens when people work out or have bad dreams??" Starfire stopped and turned around "You were working out??"

"Not I had a bad dream."

"What was it like?" Starfire asked curiously.

"Promise not to tell?"

"I promise on my gluemaarien yugwart!"

"Yeah. Well I dreamt that the when Beast Boy and I go on are date tonight that he'll get hurt, or something along that line, if he try's to kiss me."

"YOU ARE GOING ON A DATE!!! I KNEW HE HAD ADMITTED HIS LOVE FOR YOU BUT NOT THAT YOU'RE GOING ON A DATE!!"

"Oh... So he HASN"T announced it to the world yet. That's a surprise."

"Oh Raven! This is wonderful!! On my planet this would call for the reading of the Poem of Romance do you wish to hear it??"

"No Thank You, Star. Maybe another time."

"Okay then! So what will you be wearing to the DATE?"

"Uh... I haven't thought of that yet...I think I'll just wear a blouse and some nice dress pants."

"What about make up??"

"Make Up?? Why??"

"I have some non-used ones in my room. If you wish to use them!!"

"Well okay. Thanks."

"Come I shall show you."

"I'll be down after I get changed."

Starfire left Ravens room and flew down to hers while Raven got changed into her normal outfit. But when she finished changing she searched her closet to decide on what she was wearing. She finally decided and laid out a white blouse, black dress pants and a small silver chain on her bed. She closed her door and went down to Starfire's room. Her door was left open so Raven knocked then walked in. The happiness hit Raven like a racecar the only words to describe it were... pink and fuzzy. There was a rainbow painted on the wall and a collection of stuffed animals spreads around the room.

"I am in the bathroom Raven!! Come in!" Raven went over to the bathroom and looked over at Starfire. She sat on the floor with a bucket of Makeup in front of her. But were not talking little bucket were talking big toy bin probably with probably 1000 dollars in makeup inside!

"Star why do you have so much make-up?"

"Do I have too much??"

"No it's just.... I've never seen someone with such abundance."

"Oh okay then. What is your colour preference?" Starfire looked a bit confused by the word abundance but quickly got over it.

"Well I was thinking a metallic grey eye shadow, black mascara and some lip gloss. I'm going for a very simple look."

Starfire looked down at the bucket and stated to search "Here is some lip gloss.... And black mascara.... Now where could that grey have gone I saw it a minute ago... Ohh... there it is!" she picked up the three items and handed them to Raven. "There you are!! So do you know where he chooses to take you??"

"Thanks Star. And No I don't know where we're going."

"OHH A SURPRISE!! I LOVE SURPRISES!!"

"I like surprises too."

Beast Boy was sitting watching Cy and Robin duke it out when the girls came back down. He turned around on the couch "What have you to been up to?"

"Nothing." Raven said before Starfire had a chance to explain what they did. Beast Boy shrugged and looked back up at the TV. Raven then continued on into the kitchen to make her herbal tea. She opened into the cupboard looking for the teapot... she found it in the place where she always left it the day before. She then placed it on the stove and sat down at the table. She picked up the newspaper and started reading over the headlines to see of anything appealed to her. The Tree and the Girl, Do You Have a Gambling Problem, Local Wins Game Show and for some reason this was cut out along with an article on A4. 'That's weird... The only reason there's ever articles cut out of the paper is... must have been a article on Slade.' The thought left her mind as she lost interest and searched for the article on the game show winner. She got about halfway through the when the kettle started squeal. She put down the newspaper and went over and poured it in her favourite mug. She slowly stirred the tea bag around and then threw it in the garbage. She smelled it.... It smelled like peppermint. She took a sip... tasted like peppermint too. She then slowly walked back to the table and sat down. She then sipped on her cup of tea and continued reading. While she was reading she heard someone else enter the room. She put down the newspaper and saw Beast Boy sit down next to her.

"Yes?" she said looking at him sceptically.

"I was just wondering how you were after yesterday."

"Fine."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay then. You still want to go out on the date, right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Just making sure. So be ready tonight at 5, okay?"

"Kay."

Yeah I know.... BAD ENDING!! But I couldn't think of one. So you're stuck with that so :p! Anyway onto.... The Date.
