Chapter 8- Some Fancy Dinner

Exactly 60 minutes later the girls came down to the garage of the Teen Tower. The boys were, of course, already waiting for them.

They were admiring the limo that the mayor had sent over for them to use that night, so their backs were to the girls when they came in.

"Hey guys are we going to be late?" asked Songbird.

"Nahh. For once you guys are, on, time." The last part of Robin's sentence was lost as he gazed at the girls.

Pink hearts formed in the boy's eyes as they gazed in wonderment at the beautiful girls. Likewise the girls had hearts in their eyes.

They stood there for quiet sometime. The driver of limo had to loudly clear his throat many times to get their attention.

Finally he did. "Ummmm, its time for us to go Titans."

"What? Ohh yeah. Let's get into the car," said a still dazed Robin.

On the car trip to the fancy dinner they seemed to revert back to normal.

"This place is pretty nice," Cyborg said over the din of the music.

"Hey guys, you said that this was going to be a fancy dinner party, what's with the dj?" Songbird asked.

"It was my son's idea. He refused to have an orchestra," said a voice behind him.

They turned around to find an aging man behind them. It was the kind of man that you knew that you immediately liked and could trust.

"Hello Mr. Mayor," Robin said politely. They shook hands.

"Hello Titans." His eye caught the small frame of Songbird. "Hello miss. You must be Songbird. I must say that it has been very nice having you in Jump City."

Songbird blushed. "Thank you Mr. Mayor. It has been an honor being here. And thank you for the money for the dress."

"Ahh it has been my pleasure little missy. Come you all must met my son Ryan." He gestured for them to follow.

Songbird mumbled something under her breath. Cyborg barely caught what she said; even then he wasn't sure what he heard.

He leaned down and whispered to her. "What did you say little missy?"

Songbird turned three shades of red. Fortunately no one noticed. "I am not a little missy."

Cyborg chuckled at her. She glared at him. He just grinned even wider.

"Hey Ryan come here I want you to met the Titans," Mr. Mayor called to someone at the bar.

A teen turned around and walked to them. Songbird's eyes went to the size of saucers.

"Oh shit." She slide behind Cyborg. "I went to the bathroom." She whispered and sent the sound waves to Cyborg's ears. Cyborg was totally confused by her actions.

"Ryan these are the Teen Titans. Titans this is my son Ryan."

"Pleased to met you Ryan." Robin held out his hand. They shook.

Mr. Mayor looked around. "Where did Songbird go?"

The other Titans peered around.

"Cy, do you know where she went?" Beast Boy asked.

Cyborg didn't answer. Songbird nudged him in the back.

"She said she needed to use the bathroom. She'll be back in a few minutes." He sweat dropped.

"Guess you'll have to met her later," Mr. Mayor said.

"Yeah." Ryan looked around, obviously bored.

There was a very awkward silence. Everyone, but Starfire, noticed that Ryan didn't really want to be there.

Then the song 'I'm a Believer' came on.

"Ohhh Robin," Starfire said excitedly. "Come we must do the dancing together." She dragged him out to the dance floor and they started to dance.

A slutly looking girl walked up to Ryan.

"Ryan, honey, come dance with me," she pleaded in an annoying voice.

"Funny, were have I heard that voice before?" wondered Cyborg.

They walked out and started dancing.

The mayor walked off and found his wife. He whispered something in her ear. She gave off a peal of laughter and they went to dance.

Beast Boy turned to Raven with a hopeful look.

"Hey Raven want to dance?" he asked. "You don't have to if you don't want to."

Raven turned to him.

"Please don't hurt me."

Raven rolled her eyes. "I won't hurt you. Come on the song's almost over."

Beast Boy had an astonished look on his face. He snapped out of it and pulled her to the dance floor.

"Is Ryan distracted?" came Songbird's voice.

"Yeah he's dancing with some girl," Cyborg told her.

She gave a sigh of relief. "That was close." She came from out from under a table by Cyborg.

Cyborg started to ask her what she was doing under the table, but stopped. Deciding to go straight to the cause. "Why were you hiding from Ryan?"

"Well, when I first came to Jump City I stayed in the park. And well Ryan and I met. He didn't know who I really was, I mean its not like I go around telling everyone that I have the ability to manipulate sound waves." Cyborg nodded. "So anyway he took me out, and I can guess you could call it a date, and well he asked for my number. And I well, I sorta gave him a the rejection hotline number."

Cyborg started to laugh loudly.

"Cyborg. Stop laughing; you'll draw his attention. Cyborg stop."

"Okay (chuckle), you gave the mayor of the city's son (chuckle) the rejection hotline."

Songbird nodded. Cyborg started to laugh again.

"Cyborg I didn't want to do it. I didn't even know who he was!" Cyborg wasn't listening to her. He was too busy laughing.

Songbird got frustrated with him. Then she smirked. Cyborg had stopped laughing. Cyborg found that he didn't have a voice.

"Opps. I seemed to have stolen Cyborg's voice," Songbird said in a mock startled voice.

Cyborg started to yell at her, gesturing madly. Songbird held up a red, glowing ball.

"Now," she started in a mock motherly voice, "have we learned our lesson about laughing at Songbird?"

Cyborg nodded, fury written on his face.

Songbird stopped 'holding' his voice; she sent the ball out one of the open windows.

They looked at each other for a few seconds then started laughing.

"Did you really do that?" Cyborg asked her, wiping a tear away from his eye.

"Yeah."

"Oh my god. That is just too funny."

"Shit! here he comes." Songbird dove under the table again.

"Hey Ryan," Cyborg said barely containing his laughter.

"Hey Cyborg. Have you seen Songbird?"

"Nope. She's probably around here somewhere. If you want I can tell her that you want to met her when I see her, I'm sure that she'll want to met you."

Songbird's arm came and pinched a leg.

"OWW. What the hell was that?" shouted Ryan.

He looked around the floor. Cyborg doubled over in silent laughter. Ryan turned back to him. Cyborg quickly stood back up and acted like he wasn't laughing.

"Did you see what happened?" Ryan asked him.

"Nope. Are you okay?"

"Yeah. Kat come here."

"Yes honey." The girl Ryan was dancing with earlier came up.

"Let's ditch this place and find some where better."

"Okay."

They turned and left.

Songbird flew out from under the table. Her face was bright red. Cyborg, once again, fell into silent laughter.

Songbird clutched her forehead and sat down at the table she has been hiding under. She promptly began hitting her head on the table.

"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."

"Come on it could have been worse." Cyborg sat down next to her.

"What could have been worse?" asked Beast Boy. The others had come from the dance floor. They all sat around the table, seemingly a little out of breath.

"Why is Songbird hitting her head on the table?" asked a confused Starfire.

"Nothing. You don't want to know," Cyborg told her. He started to laugh again.

Starfire seemed content with this answer, but she still gave Songbird a puzzled look.

"When is dinner served here?" asked Beast Boy.

"Do you always think of your stomach?" Raven asked as she rolled her eyes.

"No. Only when I'm hungry," Beast Boy explained matter factly.

Raven seemed taken aback by his quick reply, but quickly shook it away.

Songbird was still banging her head on the table and Cyborg was still silently laughing at her.

"Okay, Songbird you are gong to have to stop. Your making my forehead hurt," Robin told her.

"What? Ohh sorry." She saw that Cyborg was still laughing at her. She kicked out with her leg.

"OWWW!" yelped Starfire.

"Ohhh Starfire. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to kick you!" Songbird started to blush furiously.

"It is all right. It was an accident," Starfire told her, rubbing her leg.

Songbird glared at Cyborg, who was know openly laughing at her. Cyborg's laugh was quiet infectious. Soon Songbird was laughing just as hard as Cyborg. The others were giving them odd looks. After a few minutes their laughter died down.

"Care to enlighten us?" asked Robin.

"No. You wouldn't get it," Songbird said.

She was saved further explanation, when waiters came out and started serving dinner.

After they finished eating they started to listen to the music. Starfire was bobbing her head up and down to the music, while Raven was tapping her fingers to the beat and Songbird had a wistful look on her face.

Robin took Starfire's hand and led her out to the dance floor. Beast Boy looked at Raven with and expression that said 'want to dance?' Raven nodded her head and they followed Robin and Starfire.

Songbird and Cyborg were the only ones left at the table.

"Hey Song?" Cyborg asked hesitantly.

"Yeah Cyborg."

"Wanna dance?"

Songbird smiled. "Yeah, sure."

At the end of the song the Titans stayed on the dance floor to here the announcement form the dj.

"Hey there everyone. Hope you have had fun tonight. Well the night is almost done and so am I. This is the last song for tonight and it's a slow one. So guys grab your girl and hold her tight."

There was a pause then the dj started to the song.

Ohh ohh...

Robin pulled Starfire close to him. She smiled and laid her head on his shoulder.

Beast Boy hesitantly reached out his arms and moved closer to Raven. When she didn't pull away from him, he pulled her into him.

Cyborg looked awkwardly around, but when he saw that Songbird was still there in front of him he smiled. He pulled her into his arms.

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies,
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along...

The couples slowly swayed to the music. Thinking about the one that they were holding.

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Beast Boy was clearly amazed at his good fortune. "Wow. Ravens actually dancing with me. Willingly too." He smiled and laid his head on top of Raven's.

"Beast Boy's not that bad of a dancer. He hasn't stepped on my feet once. Who would have thought?" She sighed as Beast Boy laid his head on top of hers.

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore,
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

"Robin is slow dancing with me. That is quit nice." Starfire sighed and moved slightly closer to Robin. "I wonder why my stomach feels funny?"

Robin's stomach was shaking too. "Why did I ask her to dance? Why did I pull her into this dance?" he paused in his thoughts. "She's a pretty good dancer though."

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you...
This I promise you...

"What am I doing? Why am I dancing with him? Oh my god. What if this is just a sympathy dance? Oh my god. What if he doesn't really like me? Oh my god. What am I going to do?" Songbird's thoughts were moving around her head at gale force winds...

Cyborg was contemplating on whether to hold her closer or to stay were he was. "What if she pulls away? What if she doesn't really want to dance with me? But what if she wants me to pull her closer?" he took a mental breath. "Only one way to see."

Cyborg gently started to pull Songbird closer to him. He smiled slightly when he found that she wasn't pulling away. He held her tighter.

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

Raven moved her arms around Beast Boy's neck and he held her closer.

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Robin tightened his grip around Starfire's waist.

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Songbird's mind finally slowed down and she enjoyed Cyborg's warm arms around her.

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

The song ended and they all pulled reluctantly apart and clapped along with everyone else.

Then the mayor went up.

"Thank you everyone for coming out and honoring our most prestigious guests. Now unfortunately it is the end of the night. We bid you all a good night."

He stepped down and walked to the Titans. They had regrouped and were making sure that they had everything with them.

"Thank you again for coming Titans."

"It was our pleasure Mr. Mayor," Robin said.

Mr. Mayor turned to Songbird. "I'm sorry that you never got to met my son. He really wanted to meet you, ya know. Well perhaps another time. Goodnight Titans." He walked off.

By the time the limo dropped them off at the Tower, they were all exhausted. They all said goodnight and went off to bed.

The girls went back to Starfire's room to change. Raven was so tired that she ended up borrowing some of Starfire's pajamas and sleeping with the other two girls. (NOT LIKE THAT!! Yeesh get your mind out of the gutters people)

Robin and Beast Boy went to their different rooms and went straight to bed.

Cyborg peeled of his tux and put it in a spare drawer. Tiredly he pulled out a cord and plugged himself in. He sighed and lay down on his bed. Quickly falling asleep. He failed to see the blue eyes that blinked in a back corner of his lab.
