AN: I'd like to thank my readers, I made dinner tonight so I don't have to do dishes, and I have time to write this, the next chapter of my short story. I don't know if it will be as long as the others but it prolly will be now that I think about it. Believe it or not I read a letter-to-the-editor today that criticized TT for using the 'anime' style while being an American cartoon, I don't know about you but that's why I like it. Although the other American anime 'Totally Spies" does suck, I watch it in my spare time (usually while waiting for TT), I also watch 'Code Lyoko' which is very like anime but it's from France.

Now on to the show.

'That was right; it's all up to me. I control my destiny. Wait, I and Mag were born at the exact same time which means I'm also the middle girl.' Raven realized. Just than she knew what she had to do, but first she was going to get some sleep. Curling into a ball, she fell asleep, the house forming a cup underneath her and covering her with a soft covering of furs.

The next morning, Raven ate her breakfast in silence. Than transported herself to the Hall of Records, to get the papers covering her and Mag's birth: Her people had technology that kept track of everything on the planet, some machine was writing at the moment that Raven was in the Hall and accessing the database that would print her a copy of the time line that she wanted.

About thirty earth minutes later, Raven could be found sitting and waiting in the Grand Holding Hall, nervously going through the papers that she had printed off, to help her case with the person she was now waiting to see, the Master of Ceremonies for the Royals. It was him she had to see if she wanted to dissolve the treaty between her, magpie and the Royals. She found the proof that she needed to prove that she couldn't marry anyone but the man that she loved. The papers that she got said that she and Mag where born at precisely the same time, 14.45.23 on the 65 of Norbox, and therefore neither could be forced into anything because no one knew which one was the 'middle' child, or if they both shared the middle part of the prophecy.

When Raven's name was called, she slowly got up, if there ever was a time that Raven was nervous this was it. She had the papers, that no one could argue, but if she couldn't dissolve this, there was a great chance that she would be executed or worse, stripped of her powers; and that was the one thing she couldn't live without.

"Raven, come in my dove" came a deep voice rumbling though the hall. All of a sudden Raven was being pulled in to eth Office of the Master of Ceremonies. But when she got inside she was surprised, the voice did not fit the man that now sat before her. He was a scrawny piece of flesh, not someone you would think would hold such an important position in a government of warriors.

"Now, what has brought the future Queen to the humble office of the Master of Ceremonies?"

"I have come to dissolve the arrangement between myself and the Royals. I have undisputable proof that the treaty is illegal." Raven than produced the papers and placed them on his desk.

The Master slowly and deliberately read the papers before replying, "I see, well this is a very interesting predicament. But I suppose there is another reason that you have come."

"Yes, there is another that I love. He is not one of us, but I love all the same. And I could never love the prince; he is too bland and stupid for me to love." Raven confessed. For some reason, it was just too easy to speak her mind in the presence of this man.

"I see, so you believe that you can't ever love my brother, so you have come to me in hopes of relieving yourself of the responsibility of marrying my numb-headed brother. I can see why you wanted to explore the other dimensions." The Master remarked.

'That's why he holds such an important position; he's one of the lost princes' thought Raven. There were 6 'lost' princes, bastard sons of the current King that were spirited away during the Aerian Monarchy, of which Raven was the last princess, because they would have been executed with accordance with the law. "Yes, your highness, my adventures have led me to a place where I am accepted and I have found love, and I truly now have a place I can call home. Surely you can understand my need to unravel the binding that is on me."

"Yes, I understand. I'll fill out the report and submit it to my father, but you and Magpie have to be ready to leave at a drop of a gumble. My father is very unpredictable, but even he must pay attention to the law. Yes, my queen, I will help you escape." He pledged.

"Please, I'm not the Queen. And you could loose your life for speaking that." Said Raven.

"There is a group of people here that support you, and the true monarchy of the world. And we are willing to help you as you wish, Your Majesty." He replied while bowing.

"You all must be expecting me to claim my throne, but I must disappoint you, I have found my home on Earth as well as my purpose. But I might one day return here to claim my heritage. Now I must appoint you to help me out of this world and than to wait till the time favors my return, and you must swear on your honor and power to adhere to this unless instructed my me, your 'queen', personally." Raven said.

"I swear it, Your Majesty. And I will pass the word to the others." Replied the Prince. And with that Raven left the Office to tell her cousin that they had to be ready to leave.

As Raven was teleporting her way back to Mag's house she was thinking, 'Now that is one man I could come to trust. And I'm glad he's in charge of my 'rebellion.'' As she got back, she found Magpie with an official looking paper in her hand.

"What do you have there?" Asked Raven.

"A letter from the Royals, asking why you were accessing the Records." Answered Mag.

"I was gathering proof as to why I can't marry the prince." Replied Raven.

"And did you find what you were looking for?"

"Yes. I found it and presented it to the Royals. So we have to be ready to leave if the King decides that we are being radical."

"Oh goody, just the excuse I was looking for, to have the opportunity to get to know that wonderful Cyborg better." Raven left Magpie with a big cheesy/flaky grin on her face, and went to pack up the little amount of stuff she brought plus the even smaller amount of stuff she left the first time. All the while thinking, 'What the heck does Mag see in metal boy anyways? I wonder if Robin will want to talk to me again. And where the fuck are all these extra suitcases coming from?' She continued to pack while listening to the house play some music that it knew that she liked, but she thought that she heard a small snicker in the music where she knew there wasn't one.

Meanwhile back at the Tower, Robin was, in turns, fuming while lying on his bed, and thinking while pacing a ring into his floor. 'Why the heck didn't she tell us/me that she was engaged? Well, on the other hand, Star didn't tell us either. Maybe, she thought that none of us would care, or that she would leave before we would find out. And have I always had such a great view of the Ocean?'

After Raven had left, Robin had locked himself in his room, and the others had gotten worried, none of them had even seen Robin, let alone know about the fight. And none of them even knew why Raven had left so unexpectedly, although BB was still trying to find something to burn out the image of Raven in pink. And though they had speculated, the only really close idea the three could come up with was that of Star's, that she had to go on a quest to battle some evil that only she could defeat. This in reality is where she had to go and what she had to do.

Raven was still packing, when a knock was heard on the 'door' of Mag's house. All of a sudden she found herself in the custody of one of the Royal guards, a big brute by Raven's standard. She and her cousin, who was still mooning over Cyborg, were taken to 'confinement,' which is sort of like jail on earth but not as harsh, they still had their luxuries but they couldn't leave without the Royal's permission.

Soon after being plopped into confinement, Raven was beating down the door demanding an explanation as to why they were being held. The only response she got was too shut up, and that was from Mag who had the house make her the equivalent of a earth gaming system, and was currently smashing the literal guts out of a Kyvorkian Sloth using a giant hammer. About 6 hours later, Mag had convinced Rae to join her in smashing the squash people of Planet 73, the two jumped because someone had stuck their head between the girls and asked, "What the heck is that? And can I play?"

The Master of Ceremonies jumped over the couch in between the girls. "My father decided to look in on the matter himself. So he had you two seized until he gets around to proving that Raven was right about herself. But you two don't want to wait here till than, do you? So I've set the escape plan into motion, I'm the one who issues the release papers, but you two have to get to somewhere safe and fast."

"I don't want to go home, right now." Replied Raven. She was thinking, 'What if Robin doesn't want me back? Would he turn me over to these people?' Just than another voice/thought interrupted hers, 'Will you quit mopping? Of course he'll take you back, he loves you, he said as much, and even though you two had a fight, he'll protect you.' Raven shot a glare at Magpie, who just shrugged. They had been able to share minds from the beginning; it had something to do with being perfect twins.

"Just give me some time." Raven finally said, "I'll be ready tomorrow."

With that the Master of Ceremonies bowed and left. The rest of the evening the two didn't do any magic, because they would need all they had to return to earth and hide their trail.

The next morning, the two twins didn't even speak, and the air almost hummed with their nervousness. When the Master finally came, they silently but quickly left the cell and went to his office. As they were preparing for the trip to earth, the Price broke the silence, "Your Majesty, I want to come with you."

"No, I need you here to organize the resistance, and keep my supporters out of trouble. I am honored that you want to insure my safety, but I can take care of my self and my 'family' will protect me." Replied Raven.

"What is this Majesty stuff?" Asked Magpie, confused.

"I'm the true Queen, and the prince here is the leader of the contingent to return me to my throne. Come on we need to go." Raven answered. She left without a trace leaving a very confused Magpie, and the humbled prince in her wake.

"Whatever. I'd better follow her. Thank you for your support."

At that moment Robin's stereo suddenly turned itself on, playing a very melancholy song.

I hear the wind call my name
The sound that leads me home
It sparks up the fire - a flame that still burns
To you I'll always return
I know the road is long but where you are is home
Wherever you stay - I'll find a way
I'll run like a river - I'll follow the sun
I'll fly like an eagle - to where I belong

I can't stand the distance - I can't dream alone
I can't wait to see you - Yes I'm on my way home

Now I know it's true
My every road leads to you
And in the hour of darkness darlin'
Your light gets me through

You run like a river - you shine like the sun
You fly like an eagle
You are the one I've seen every sunset
And with all that I've learned
Oh it's to you - I will always return

Robin was suddenly overcome with a bout of depression, remembering Raven. Slowly he looked up, intending to lie back on his bed, and as he did so he saw a dark shadow leaning against the wall.

"I'm sorry, Robin." Raven said her voice full of emotion. "I had to break the treaty, because I love you." The last part escaped Raven as little more than a whisper, but Robin still heard it and took Raven into his arms.

"I love you too, Raven. Tell me what happened while you were away."

"Well, there was a prophesy that when three girls are born on the same day, to one family, the first will be the personification of good, the youngest will be the equivalent of evil, but the middle one will hold the power of chaos, and that no one will control the middle girl because it is she who is the most powerful in the dimension. I had a sister, Dove, my twin, born 30 minutes before me, she was the first. Than there was supposedly Magpie as the wild middle child, and finally me as the last and 'evil' one. But to prove that I couldn't marry the prince, I found out that Mag and I were born at precisely the same time, meaning that I was also the middle child, and couldn't marry against my will, making the treaty void. The king didn't like that, so we were 'confined,' we escaped with the help of the leader of my resistance, to put the true Queen back on the throne, me."

"So let me get this strait. You dissolved the treaty that was protecting your life because of me, escaped the evil King, and now I'm dating a dethroned Queen?" Robin asked in astonishment.

"Yup, that about sums it up." Answered Raven meekly.

While this conversation had been going on upstairs, another more exuberant one was going on down in the living room. Magpie had materialized herself right next to Cyborg, startling him into losing to BB in the game that they were playing. "What ya do that for? I was winning." Cyborg exclaimed.

"Yeah right, I think this is the one game that BB could actually beat you at." Retorted Mag.

"Mag, you're back which means Rae's back. Right?" BB asked.

"I don't know, but I presume she's upstairs making up to Robin." Mag explained.

"Oh, that's why he'd holed himself up there; he was mooning over the ice queen." Cyborg stated.

"How little you know. Rae is really a queen, but she there was a rebellion and we are the only two who survived the revolution. Twins in a prophesy." Mag remarked nonchalantly.

The boys were sitting in awed silence, but where was Star. She had gone off to find the other royal of the Titans. But when Raven doesn't want to be found, you can't find her. Star returned to Mag telling the boys not to mention anything until Rae told them, lest they find themselves sucked into an alternate reality.

"I'd better go tell the team that I'm back. And change into something more comfortable." Raven said, breaking out of a tender kiss that Robin had initiated after finding out that he was dating royalty.

"I guess that that would be a good idea," Robin agreed sullenly, obviously wanting to continue what he'd started. "But after the welcomes meet me back here."

Raven just grinned while walking out of the door. Before going downstairs to face the Beast Boy inquisition she decided to slip into something out of the ordinary, a slinky black tank top and a not to tight pair of raggedy jeans. She had gotten to the living room when she saw Mag whipping Cyborg's at some game, and she realized that Mag would need a place to stay, and it was apparent that she had chosen to stay here. "Hey, I'm home." Raven called. All of a sudden she found herself buried underneath a pile of Beast Boy and Starfire. When she finally dug herself out, she spied Cyborg with a knowing grin on his face. She nodded and went upstairs, to her waiting Knight in white armor.

Cyborg stopped the others from following her, and swamping her with questions, saying, "Let her go, she's been through enough. She'll answer our questions when she feels like it." With that the three titans plus Mag returned to the game, but not before Cyborg started a cryptic cong on the Tower's sound system, one that would play in every room of the Tower.

Here I am - this is me
There's no where else on earth I'd rather be
Here I am - it's just me and you
And tonight we make our dreams come true

It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of young hearts
It's a new day - it's a new plan
I've been waiting for you
Here I am
