Chapter 4

"Woo-hoo!" Robin yelled into the night. "Yeah!"

Raven and Robin were on their way to Bruce Wayne's manor in the speeding limo. Robin had opened up the sunroof, and was sitting on the roof, his feet dangling inside.

Robin was terribly excited. He was going to a ball with the girl of his dreams, who was incredibly sexy in her gown, and he was in a limo! How could you not be excited?

The fact that he was so excited could have had something to do with the fact he'd tried a bit much of the wine at the minibar, though.

But he was excited nonetheless.

Raven was going to a ball with him! And she was happy about it! Raven! Dark, gothic Raven was going with him! The world was a great place. He felt like yelling this to the world, but he doubted they'd understand, so he reverted back to his normal yelling.

"Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!" Robin yelled, his voice echoing around the city, as the wind rushed at him. He flung his arms out wide, reveling in the chaotic outbursts of emotion that bellowed forth from him.

Raven rolled her eyes, grabbed Robin, and yanked him back down.

"Are you insane?" she hissed at Robin, who was grinning widely. "Someone might see you!"

"So?" Robin said breathlessly, totally exhilarated. What's wrong with it?"

Raven rolled her eyes. "It's embarrassing! And where's the purpose in it?" she said, exasperated.

"I'm excited, Raven! We're going to a ball! I'm just letting off some energy so I'm not so hyper! Because being hyper would not be good at the ball! Which we're going to! Which is exciting!" Robin ranted drunkenly. "Aren't you excited?"

"No," Raven said stubbornly.

"Raven......." Robin said, drawing out the 'n'. "Come sit on the limo with me!"

"No. It's not safe."

"We can protect ourselves! We're superheroes!" Robin giggled drunkenly. "C'mon! Come sit with me!"

"Why?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Because it's fun!" Robin said happily.

"I will not," Raven said, glaring at him.

"Come on, Raven! Do it for me. Please?" Robin begged, giving her a sad puppy face.

Raven sighed. "Fine," she said. "If it will make you shut up."

Robin smiled happily, and pulled Raven up through the sunroof. They leaned on the edge, the chill night air enveloping them as they rushed along, as Robin yelled whimsical nonsense into the night, while Raven watched, exasperated.

"See? Isn't this fun?" Robin asked, grinning, waving to a random passerby.

"How is this 'fun'?" Raven asked monotonously.

"I'm flying on flying car on my way to a party with a really pretty girl! This is very fun!" Robin rambled, oblivious as to what he had just said, as Raven's eyes widened.

"You think I'm pretty?" she asked, breathless.

"Yes! You're very pretty! You're the prettiest girl in the whole wide world!" Robin gushed, throwing his arms around Raven, enveloping her in a bear hug.

Raven pushed him off roughly, as she smelled the alcohol on his breath. "You're drunk," she said bluntly.

"Yes," Robin said, smiling. Raven rolled her eyes, and held up her hand, which was pulsing in blue light.

Immediately, Robin felt his drunken joy abandon him, to be replaced with a pounding headache, which disappeared as well moments later. Raven lowered her hand, apparently satisfied.

"Ouch," Robin groaned, shaking his head. "What'd you do?"

"I sped up the healing process for your body," Raven said. She fixed him with a glare. "I didn't think you wanted to show up at your fancy party completely pissed."

"It's a ball," Robin said automatically. Raven smirked.

"Now I know you're alright," she said. "Good thing you're not still completely drunk."

Robin flushed.

"Sorry about that," he mumbled, his face red.

"Whatever," Raven responded, looking away from him, back towards the road. Robin's face fell, and he looked away.

"How could you be so stupid?" he internally berated himself. "You're practically on a date with Raven, and you go and make a drunken ass out of yourself! You're such a fool!"

Robin mentally groaned, and shook his head, trying to stop his thoughts from beating him up. He distracted himself with an attempt at conversation.

"Well," he said lightly. "It is really nice up here."

"Mm-hmm," Raven murmured quietly. Robin turned to look at her.

She was leaning back on her hands, her eyes closed, as she reveled in the rushing wind. Her lavender hair whipped about behind her, dancing some graceless dance. She looked completely relaxed, and it was as if she belonged there.

"She's beautiful," Robin thought, breathless, as he watched her silently. "She's just beautiful."

Raven's eyes immediately snapped open, as she looked abruptly at Robin.

"What did you say?" she asked, looking at him with bewilderment.

"I didn't say anything," Robin said, puzzled.

"Yes, you did," Raven insisted. "You said that I was," she broke off, blushing, "...beautiful."

It was Robin's turn to blush, as he realized he had voiced his thoughts aloud. "Well, you are," he said, his face a brilliant red.

Raven's blush deepened. "Thanks," she said, a small smile playing about her lips.

Robin's heart soared, as he realized he had made her smile, and had made her happy, even if only for a moment. He didn't know why, but that smile meant more to him than anything else in the world.

He looked down, and saw Raven's hand resting softly on the rooftop. He slowly placed his own hand on top of it, squeezing gently.

Raven looked down at his hand on top of hers, and smiled. She turned her hand upward, weaving her fingers between his. She looked up at him, and smiled softly.

Robin smiled back, as he squeezed her hand.

They remained that way the rest of the ride to the manor.

Pure, pointless fluff! :). That was fun to write. Next chapter, they'll finally get to the ball. Unless I decide to make Cinderblock attack or something...:-P

Oh, by the way, if anyone can think of any plants that have to do with winter or Christmas besides holly, ivy, pine, poinsettas, and mistletoe, please leave a review and let me know! I'm running out of them very quickly.

Remember, please review!!!!!
