Part two.

Chapter six.

"I think the others will be wondering where we are..." said Raven slowly testing out her shaken up body. Time travelling was so not her thing.

"Maybe we could just let them wonder..." said Beastboy, a cheeky glint in his green eyes. Raven smiled slightly, but shook her head.

"I don't know...how are we going to explain this to the others?" Raven asked quietly. "I mean, I always thought that Star and Robin would be the 'big surprise'."

"What about Star and Robin? What surprise?" said Beastboy, completely nonchalant. Raven shook her head fondly.

"You really don't know? Can't you tell that they're in love?"

"Really? No way!"

Raven ruffled his hair playfully. "You remember when we were back at Mad Mod's place?"

Beastboy shuddered. "Don't remind me..."

"Well, it is true. You really don't have a brain!" said Raven, barely able to hold back her laughter. Beastboy looked playfully outraged.

"Hey, c'mon. Just cause I didn't notice that doesn't mean that I've got no..."

"What do you not have, Beastboy?" interrupted a voice. The two titans both looked up in shock. The door was still on the floor and Starfire was hovering in the doorway.

"Oh, heh, nothing!!" stammered Beastboy rubbing his neck. Raven sighed inwardly. 'Oh, great. The love of my life has the subtlety of a sledgehammer!' she mocked, but she knew she didn't mean it. Half the attraction was knowing that they were opposites.

"Well, friends, what are you doing in here on this fine day?" Starfire queried, stepping into the gothic room.

"Starfire. You're in my room." Said Raven coldly. Starfire looked at Raven, her eyes wide.

"So is Beastboy!" she countered. Raven looked at the changeling, a blush creeping up on her usually pale face.

"Yes...well...um..." she began thinking super quick. "Ah, yes. Beastboy asked my permission – and anyway, he was helping me out because I fainted, right?"

"What? Oh – right, right!" agreed Beastboy nodding furiously. Starfire looked innocent but she knew something was afoot.

"Are you okay, Raven? Were you unwell? Perhaps I should make a 'Pudding of Sickness'?"

"NO!" shouted both titans at once. Raven recovered herself.

"No, I'm fine, Star, really. Beastboy was just leaving, weren't you?"

"Yes...to go and..." Beastboy faltered. "Play on game station!"

He ran out of the room, turning into a cheetah for extra speed. 'Thanks, just leave me to sort it out.' Thought Raven. Starfire lingered in the room.

"Do you want something, Starfire?" asked Raven, innocently. Starfire nodded, smiling widely. Raven waited expectantly.

"Robin wanted me to find you, Beastboy and Cyborg to tell you that we have been invited up to Mr. Wayne's house to a party for the Justice League and ourselves."

"Oh. We don't have to dress up though, right? In like dresses?"

"Robin said 'Tell them to meet downstairs at seven. And it is...' what is the word...oh yes 'fancy dress.'"

Raven's eyes widened. "Fancy dress? Your kidding me. What you going as?"

Starfire wrinkled her nose and bobbed up and down. "That is a surprise!"

Raven sighed inwardly. "I'd better go and sort something out then. You sure it's compulsory fancy dress?"

"What does that mean? Does it mean something you must do?"

"Yes."

"Then that is correct. Robin said 'Raven won't probably want to dress up, but tell her Bruce said it was compulsory.' Correct?"

Raven groaned. "I thought as much. Okay, thanks Star."

"Goodbye! See you downstairs at seven!" chimed Star before floating out of the room, humming happily.

"What do I do now? What am I going to go as?" said Rae out loud. She looked out of her window into the warm summers day and took off into the sky. She had to go buy something, otherwise she'd have to go in fancy dress as a Titan. A teen titan. She chuckled slightly at her own joke then gasped.

"Maybe I've been spending too much time with Beastboy..."

- - - - -

"Remind me why I'm doing this again." Said Raven to Beastboy, 3 hours later. It was nearly five, which meant they had to get ready for the party.

"Aw, c'mon, Rae, it'll be fun." Said BB, placing his hand on her shoulder. Cyborg, who was also there with them, smiled and put his thumb up.

"Y'know, y'all end up having a good time, Raven. It'll be funny!"

"I don't do funny." Said Raven coldly. Beastboy shrugged at Cyborg. Raven rolled her eyes at them.

"So what are you wearing?" she asked conversationally, eying the boys up. Cyborg grinned at her.

"I can't tell you! It's a surprise and all."

"Beastboy?" questioned Raven, looking at him fondly. Cyborg seemed to not notice. BB smiled and winked at her.

"Sorry, Rae. Top secret information."

Raven sighed and played with her cape.

"What about you Rave?" queried Cy, his red eye glinting slightly. Raven looked up.

"Well. If you guys aren't telling then neither am I."

"Suit yourself, mysterious one." Joked Cyborg. "I'm off to get ready. Gotta look my best for the ladies!"

Raven shook her head. As soon has Cy had exited the room, Raven looked at Beastboy. He looked back. They stared at each other for a while.

"I don't want to go, BB." Said Raven quietly, still keeping eye contact.

"Don't worry. I'll look after you. I promise." Said Beastboy, smiling openly. It was all Raven could do to smile back.

"Hey, if anyone laughs, they'll get this.." he paused turning into a whale. "..on their face."

Raven let out a quick short laugh. The book next to her levitated and hit the wall. She eyed it wearily. 'Damn powers.' She thought angrily.

Beastboy laughed, and rubbed his neck before rising to his feet and collecting the book for her.

"Thanks." Said Raven, taking the book out of his hand slowly.

"No problem." Said BB smiling, whilst his emerald eyes glinted. A glimmer of hope shone between them in that moment, before Robin rattled in noisily, talking to Starfire and broke the spell.

"What are you guys doing?" said Robin looking at the two guilty faces with an eyebrow raised.

"Talking." Said Raven, emotionlessly. "Is it forbidden?"

"No-o." said Robin slowly. "I just wondered how come you weren't getting ready. It's five thirty."

"Yeah, good point." Said BB, keeping his cool this time. "I'm gonna scoot – catch ya later guys."

"You have been spending much time with Beastboy recently, have you not Raven?" said Starfire, bouncily.

Raven shrugged. Robin's face contorted into a smile. Raven glared at him.

"What?!" she said ferociously.

"I said nothing." Said Robin, the irritating grin on his face. Raven submitted.

"I'm going to get ready." She stated before leaving the room in a fluster. Starfire watched her leave then turned to Robin.

"I told you something is going on, Robin! I knew!"

"You know, Star, I think you could be right." Said Robin, going off to get ready as well.
