CHAPTER 8

Raven ran to the sink and splashed her face with cold water.

"I wonder why whenever I feel love, my powers don't beak loose." She thought.

-

"Robin?" Asked Starfire.

"Yes?"

"Do you wish to do the gazing of the stars with me on the roof?"

"I'd love to."

Robin and Starfire walked outside onto the roof of the tower and looked up at the stars.

"Are these not the most beautiful stars your eyes have ever seen?"

"There is one star that is the most beautiful."

"Which one? Robin, please tell me!"

"You."

"Oh I see. I am beautiful because I am 'Star' fire."

"You caught onto that quickly."

Starfire smiled, and they both leaned forward for a kiss, but once again, Robin drew back. He spun around to see if anyone was watching, but no one was there.

"Robin? Is there something wrong?"

"No. I just keep getting the strange feeling that every time I to kiss you, someone is watching us."

"But Robin. No one is here besides you and I. Beast Boy and Raven have left, and Cyborg is in his room fixing his recorder of memories. The process may take a while."

"Ok, and for the record, it's called a video camera."

Ok. Take two. Robin leaned towards Starfire, and kissed her passionately on the lips. He threw his arms around her neck, then pulled away and just stood up, staring strait ahead at the setting sun.

"Robin! I have already told you no one is here!"

Without saying a word, Robin turned to face Starfire.

"Cyborg fixed his video camera."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"He just video tapped us kissing," he said calmly.

Robin blushed, and ran back inside to his room to hide his embarrassment.

-

Raven walked out of the bathroom.

"Ok. I'm back," she said.

"Finally! The food is getting cold!"

"Uh Beast Boy…we ordered salad. It doesn't get cold." sweat drop on her head

Beast Boy put his hand behind his neck.

"Oh, right," he said giggling.

Raven rolled her eyes. The two of them started munching on their salads, not saying a word to each other. Ten minutes later Jenny walked over to them.

"Is everything ok?" She asked still limping from Raven kicking her.

"Everything is great. Thanks," replied Beast Boy.

"That really hurt before," she lipped to Raven.

"Sorry, I'll add to the tip," Raven lipped back.

They both smiled at each other, then Jenny left.

"Did you just smile?" Asked Beast Boy astonished.

"Yeah, so?"

"I don't think I've seen you smile before."

"Sure I have. What about the time I helped Cyborg fix his car (car trouble), and the

time we gave Terra her own room (titan rising), and when Malchior, I mean Rorek came (spellbound), and when we made Cyborg put on those ridiculous close when he re-joined the team (deception), and when we all dressed up as Robin (the quest), and-"

Raven would have babbled on and on (lol Pam) about all the time she smiled, but she was cut off by Beast Boy.

"Alright already! I get the point!"

"Oh. Sorry."

Jenny once again stopped by and took their empty plates. When she came back, she leaned toward Raven's ear and said,

"I was beginning to think I'd never see the day when you asked him out. Dinners on me."

"Thanks Jen," Raven said smiling.

Raven and Beast Boy walked outside, with Beast Boy's hand around Raven's waist.

"Can I ask you something Raven?"

"Shoot."

"Well…how come…when we…you know…kissed…err…"

Raven hit him hard on the back.

"Spit it out already!"

"HOW COME NOTHING BLEW UP?" Beast Boy spat out the words so fast, it took Raven a few seconds to function them through her brain. When she finally got it, her face turned serious.

"I…I don't know. I was wondering the same thing."

"I bet I know how we can find out."

Beast Boy's expression slowly turned into a soft smile.

"How?" Asked Raven doubtfully.

"It seems to me like we have to pay a little visit to a place called Nevermore."

Raven smiled at Beast Boy, and they both headed back for the tower.
