Thank you to Kit for the great review, and to raeandrob4eva. You owe me girl!

Lessons
Robin was the first one up in the Tower. After getting dressed and reminiscing about the other night, he walked down to the kitchen and living room. To his surprise he found Speedy and Ollie curled up on the sofa together. He cleared his throat. Speedy blinked and opened his eyes. When he saw Robin he blushed and quickly got up.
He gestured to the kitchen. Robin raised his eyebrows. "You two look like you had fun last night."
Speedy blushed again. "We watched a movie and Ollie didn't want to go upstairs and wake up Raven afterwards. She was going to sleep alone down here, but I said that wasn't a good idea, especially with that thing with that Delos guy. So I stayed as well."
"And?" Robin asked, knowing there was more than that.
"We kissed." Speedy confessed.
Robin smiled. "You better treat her well." He warned. He turned to the frying pan and started to make tofu eggs and real eggs.

When Ollie woke, Speedy and Robin were in the kitchen. Speedy was explaining himself . Ollie smiled. She liked having a brother. She floated all the way to the bathroom. She regarded her long hair with a critical eye. 'I might have it cut.' She mused to herself.
Ollie changed into black ¾ pants, hi-tops and a Blink 182 t-shirt. Ollie tutted at her chipped black nail vanish. She'd ask Raven to redo it for her. Speaking of Raven, she needed to go see her.
Ollie knocked on the door and walked into her and Ravens bedroom. She walked over to where Raven was sitting and looked at her, arms folded. "Spill."
Raven sighed, then smiled. "What do you want to know?"
"Anything you're willing to tell me." Ollie said, sitting on her own bed.
"We went to the movies, we had ice cream, we didn't kiss, but we held hands and hugged." Raven shrugged. "That's about it."
Ollie rolled her eyes and looked over to a sleeping Brains. "Yo, Brains! Wake up!" Ollie looked towards Raven. "I need my witness."
Brains mumbled and sat up. "Wassamatta?" She asked sleepily.
"I need a witness."
"From what?"
Ollie huffed. "From last night. Tell Raven I didn't do anything with Speedy until after the movie."
"You held his hand." Brains said honestly.
Ollie rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but nothing major. And you and Cy looked very comfortable last night."
Raven raised her eyebrows but said nothing. Brains blushed. "We're just friends. Anyway we're getting off the topic at hand. What happened after we all went to bed?"
Ollie blushed. "Well we just watched 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.' I was gonna sleep downstairs, because I didn't want to wake you." She explained to Raven. "He refused to let me sleep down there on my own. We ended up kissing. Then we just slept on the sofa together. That was it." She smiled. "But I've got an archery lesson this morning."
"Three guesses how that's gonna end." Raven said sarcastically.

When Ollie had finished her breakfast, Speedy figured it was a good time to talk to her.
"When are we having the archery lesson?" He asked trying not to seem nervous.
Ollie turned her eyes to him. "How 'bout now?"
He shrugged. "Sure."
As they made their way down to the gym, Robin gave Speedy the thumbs up.
"We'll just use normal arrows for the lesson." He explained. "Don't want to blow anything up."
Speedy showed Ollie how to load the bow and how to line up. He made a perfect bullseye.
"Your turn."
Ollie took the bow and loaded it up. She took her stance and let an arrow fly. 2 cm off bullseye.
"Are you sure you're a beginner?"
Ollie nodded. "Maybe you're just a good teacher." She commented with a grin.
"That may be so, but your technique is a bit off." He held her arms up in his. "You've got to relax. You're too tense."
'How do you expect me to be when you're standing right behind me?' She thought.
Speedy was puzzled. He was sure he'd just heard Ollie in his mind. "What did you say?" He asked, bewildered.
Ollie shook her head, blushing. Not even Robin could hear her thoughts without her projecting them. The weird thing was, she couldn't read or project messages into Speedy's mind. She shook her head and focused, making herself relax.
"Better. Now look straight along the arrow. Line up. No, hold the string with two fingers, better release." He explained patiently. "Now release."
A perfect bullseye.
"See. You are a good teacher." Ollie said. Looking sideways at Speedy from where he was holding her arms.
Speedy coughed. 'Pull yourself together man.' He said to himself. He was going to pieces over a girl. What had gotten into him?
"Well since you've taught me the basics, I think I can learn the rest myself. How about I teach you hand to hand anyway?" Ollie suggested.
"That would be good. Since you think I'm so lacking in hand to hand."
Once they were padded up and ready to go, Ollie started to give instructions. "You need to always look at an opponents eyes. You tell what move they're going to make by they're eyes." She grinned. "With you and Robin I just have to guess. Lets do some gentle sparring. Semi contact. Watch your opponent, learn their weaknesses."
"Do you have any weaknesses?"
Ollie smiled. "Two." (Anyone guess what they are?) "Come on then. Gimme your best shot."
They did a couple of rounds of light sparring, Ollie commenting every so often. Speedy found it extremely hard to concentrate though. Every time he looked into Ollie's eyes his knees went wonky.
"Lets start putting some grunt into it. Full contact." Ollie said after a while.
They were really starting to bruise. Ollie knew she'd be black and blue in the morning. But she didn't really care. She was having fun.
Speedy was worried about hurting Ollie, but since she was holding back, why should he? The blows got harder and faster. He was getting better, Ollie noted, much better. His shots were stronger and less wimpy. They were actually starting to hurt!
"Time out." Ollie called after an hour. She sat down heavily on a bench, taking a swig from her water bottle. "Want some?" She asked, holding it out to Speedy.
He nodded and chugged half the bottle. "Hey!"
Speedy jut smiled. "I'm thirsty. You've given me a very intensive training."
"I should hope so too." Ollie joked with a smile. She looked up at the clock, it was almost lunchtime.
She leaned over towards Speedy and kissed him. She pulled away before he could react. "Ollie..." He started, but she was already walking out of the gym. She flashed a smile.

The telephone rang just after lunch. "May I speak to Speedy please?" A voice asked when Ollie answered it.
She handed him the phone giving him a bemused look.
When he'd finished he turned to the Titans and cleared his throat. "I have to leave. Tomorrow." He said simply, everyone had the understanding that he was not telling them why.
Ollie walked out of the room, looking calm as normal, but Speedy could tell she was hurt. He followed her and found her on the roof.
"Ollie..." He began.
She shook her head. "I know you have to go. There's nothing I can do about it, but it still hurts."
He walked over to where she was sat and put his arms round her. "I'll see you again soon as possible. I promise."
"Don't promise. You can't be certain."
"Somethings are certain." He stroked her hair. "We've still got today."
Ollie was crying. She'd just found him and now he had to go. 'Life isn't fair.' She thought.
"Life isn't fair." Speedy said.
Ollie looked up sharply. "How do you read my thoughts?"
He shook his head. "I don't mean to. It just happens." He looked at her face. She was crying. "Don't cry. I'll think of you as much as I can." He promised brushing away her tears.
They sat there for a while, looking out at the city. Speedy finally spoke up. "Do want to go out some where?"
Ollie nodded. "Sure." She smiled. "As long as you change."
They agreed and went to get changed. Ollie fretted on what to wear, enlisting the help of Brains, Raven and even Starfire to help her. Starfire pried Ollie's favorite combat boots out of her hands.
"You can not wear this boots of combat on a date. They are very... scruffy." Starfire explained.
Ollie whined and moaned, but finally gave up. She opted for knee high black boots, short black skirt, but Starfire stopped her from wearing her ripped tights, and her favorite black strappy top.
Speedy, however had more trouble an asked to borrow some of Robins clothes. He anded up wearing black baggy jeans and a (hahahahahah) batman t-shirt. He also opted for wearing some shades instead of his mask. He tried to be patient but Ollie was taking a while.
When she finally descended down the stairs, Speedy knew it had been worth th wait.
He walked over and kissed her on the cheek. "You look wonderful."
"Where do you want to go?" Ollie asked as they walked out of the Tower.
Speedy shrugged. "We could go out for dinner."
Ollie smiled. "Perfect."

The dark vampire hung from the ledge of a window.
"Enjoy the time while it lasts Olivia. It will be the last time you see him."
Well, that was extremely fluff filled. All those people who read but don't review REVIEW NOW OR ELSE!
