A/N: School sucks. Badly. I've been drifting about, bored out of my skull. I've been writing to entertain myself. Thanks for the reviews!

Chapter 3
"So, Robin," Raven said. "How are we getting there?"
"You'll see," Robin smirked.
It was around seven o'clock, and it was dark outside, seeing as it was the winter. Raven was flying over to the mainland from Titan's Island, carrying Robin under her by the hands.
"Come on, Robin! You said I wouldn't have to fly us all the way there!" Raven complained.
"You won't have to fly us there," Robin said. "I have transportation waiting for us."
"Really?" Raven asked. "What?"
"You'll see."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Tell me."
"No."
"Tell me!"
Raven glared down at Robin, who smirked back up at her.
"Where's the adventure if I just tell you?" Robin asked reasonably. "I know you'll love this surprise. Just give it a chance."
"Alright," Raven relented. A flash of emotion flicked across her face, but it was gone before Robin could decipher it.
"I knew you'd see it my way," Robin said jauntily, grinning up at Raven. Raven just rolled her eyes, and focussed on the land ahead.
"She looks beautiful like that," Robin thought suddenly.
It was true. Raven did look beautiful, zooming along effortlessly, illuminated by the shining moonlight and glittering stars. She looked like some sort of goddess, gliding through the night on a secret mission.
"If she's a goddess, what am I?" Robin wondered silently, the night air rushing at his face.
"Maybe I'm a demigod who got hurt in a great battle. And she's carrying me to safety, where she will heal all my grievous injuries with a single kiss..."
"Robin!" Raven yelled into his ear, yanking Robin abruptly away from his daydreams. "This is the third time I've told you! We've reached the mainland!"
What?" Robin said, disconcertingly, half his mind still in his dream world. "Did you heal my injuries already?"
Raven rolled her eyes, and held up her hand. It pulsed in blue light for a moment, before the light dissipated into nothingness.
"You don't have any injuries, Robin," Raven said exasperatedly. "I suggest you get your head out of the clouds and tell me how we're getting to this party." She folded her arms across her chest, as Robin shook his head violently, trying to get his thoughts together.
"It's a ball," he responded automatically, as he looked around.
He realized that they were on land, in a dark, dank alleyway, apparently. A foul-smelling wind blew through, filling their noses with the smell of rotting garbage.
"So where's you fabulous transportation, Robin?" Raven said sarcastically. "Oh, are we going to ride in those garbage bins, or on that old bike?" She gestured to some things that looked vaguely like huge rusty metal boxes on wheels, and a bike that looked like it came from the fifties.
"Shut it," Robin said, acting annoyed, while secretly amused by her sarcasm. "Follow me."
He started waking when Raven said loudly, "I can't see in the dark."
Robin sighed, grabbed her hand, and led her down the dank alleyway. A rat scurried by, diving into a pile of rotting trash like it was a pool of gold.
"Yuck," Raven said disgustedly, squeezing Robin's hand a little tighter.
All common sense immediately abandoned Robin temporarily, as the thought, 'She's holding my hand' echoed around his head. It seemed as if all the nerve endings in his body had fled to his hand, as all his senses were completely focussed on her hand felt in his. It felt nice........
"Get these thoughts out of your head," Robin lectured himself, pulling himself away. "It's just a girl."
Ah, but she's not just any girl, a little voice in his head said, mockingly. She's the girl you like...
"Here we are," Robin announced, distracting himself from his thoughts.
"Oh joy," Raven said, looking around. "We're at the main road. I suppose we're going to hitch hike to the party?"
"It's a ball. And no, we're not," Robin said. He stuck two fingers into his mouth and whistled loudly.
A long black limousine rounded the corner and pulled up to the curb. Raven's jaw dropped.
"We're going in a limo?" she asked, stunned, as the chauffeur got out and opened the back door. Robin grinned.
"Yep," he said, pulling Raven into the limo.
Raven looked around, clearly astonished. A seat stretched around the back of the limo in a semicircle, covered in red velvet. There was a TV with a VCR and DVD player, minibar, DSL Internet hookups, and buttons controlling a shield to obstruct the driver's view of you.
"Wow," she said, dumbfounded.
Robin grinned again, happy to have surprised her to the point of speechlessness. Raven shook her head a bit, and looked up at Robin.
"Well, this certainly is a surprise..." she said dryly, and Robin laughed.
"Seriously though," Raven said, "Thanks for making it a surprise. It's a great one." She smiled softly.
"You're welcome," Robin said, smiling back at her. The two just sat there, smiling at each other mindlessly, when a sudden lurch brought them both back to the present.
"We're off!" the chauffeur yelled back, as the limousine pulled out into the traffic, the city lights flashing by.
Robin grinned happily. This was going to be a blast.

Yes, they will eventually actually get to the ball. You'll have to wait and see when, though!
