Hi peoples! Sorry I took so long...not! Oops, looks like this is gonna be four chapters-the second one was too short.

Special thanks to Artemisgirl, my Beta reader! Hee hee-I caught your little 'trick.' ...AT THE VERY LAST MOMENT! 'Azarath, Catriona, Sainthood:' Indeed! Pthpppth! I should go Catholic Nun on your ass!

Anyway...

It's time for 'Vinnie's Props to the Fabulous Reviewers!'

Goldfishgal: Apology accepted-hee hee! Raven's gonna get a lot more out of character before this one's over. 'Grimm' is spelled with two m's, cause I changed it-nyah! At your request, here is more...

Darkest Midnight: You're welcome...did I tell you I love you? And yes-please stop talking to your monitor, but don't ever stop writing reviews! I love 'em-the longer, the better...

outlawarcher: Thanks? I think? So, you see how it is, do you? Wow! You must be smarter than me, 'cause I don't see nuthin...

TamerainianRaven: Thanks. Azerath is a 'world' in another dimension, according to the comics...maybe. And that wasn't advise-it was criticism. Death Glare J/K-luv ya! Oh, hey-what kind of bait worked best...?

Gothix: Hmmm...I guess you don't know the drill here... One word reviews are totally unacceptable! You will learn to obey...

Stark Mad/Terra Logan: Is there two of you? Or one multiple TL? What? I update my profile all the time! Hee hee-Thanks. I am thinking about a 'Reading Minds' sequel...if I can get over my writer's block(head.)

mollykat: Glad you liked it, but you must learn to obey-one word reviews are not tolerated! You must write more-more-more! Or not...cute is good, right?

Malcore Xan'thex: A 'sadist' gets sexual satisfaction from other's pain...what has been on your mind, eh? Mandy is a little girl, you naughty boy!

HVK: Holy Crap! What was that? I think you liked it-yes? Since when have I failed to respond to anything? Oh, and did I create a Catmon? And yes-I know...thanks for pointing out the doubled paragraphs in a public forum for all view and to get a good laugh at my expense: my new Zim will be paying you a visit to replace your brain with Catmon... Thank you for labeling me a genius, but my IQ is only about 142. My head hurts again...just thinking about my amazedness at viewing 'Crossroads.' You want me to do that again?

Okay! Fun for all, and all for fun!

The following chapter is chapter three of 'The Grimm Adventures of Raven and Mandy,' entitled:

'Raven's Makeover!'

Onward...!

LATERON

Raven reached Mandy's house soon after the start of school. Grimm and she would be alone for the required amount of time.

"Hey, Raben!" called Grimm, pleasantly. "You ready to do this?"

Raven sighed. "I hope this works like you say it will."

"Don't worry, chile-you just hold up your end of da bargain, and everything be alright."

He gave her a knowing wink. "Just hold still…" Raising his scythe, he said a few words in his Caribbean-Patois accent, and created a halo-like glowing green ring over Raven's head. Lowering his hands slowly, he guided the scythe, and the glowing ring down Raven's body, until it reached the floor. As soon as it did so, a blinding light illuminated the room-and was gone just as quickly.

Raven didn't feel any different. Did it work? "Why don't I feel different? Are you trying to trick me-cause if you are…" Raven's eyes were starting to blaze-but not with any other-worldly light.

Grimm taunted her-"And just what do you think your gonna do to me, silly girl?" He gave a hearty, if wheezy, laugh.

Raven became furious. She gritted her teeth. "What I think I gonna do is blow your freakin' lying head off…"

Grimm produced a mirror. "Have a look at yourself, girl."

Raven glanced at the mirror-and froze. Her eyes were-normal. Not blazing red, as they should be. And there was something else not right. Her face! Her face was-pink! A normal-human-color pink! Speechless, Raven took the mirror, and examined herself closely.

"Lookin' good kiddo, eh?" Grimm cackled. "You should have more respect for your elders." He grinned widely. "Go ahead-check dat your powers still work."

She lifted her hands-"Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos…" and the couch levitated and flew around the room, Raven controlling it effortlessly. She put it down gently. "I never really thought …" She picked up the mirror once more. She examined the tears seeping from her eyes…

"Go ahead-go back to your tower, and show your friends the new you." Just come back after school is over, and we can complete the bargain…AH-HA-HA-HA-HA!"

TIMEGOESBY

When Raven arrived back at the tower she found all her friends in the common room. They were all there trying to prevent 'Larry' from destroying everything in sight. It was not from ill intent-the little Robin-clone was just an inquisitive klutz.

Raven stood for a while, watching in amusement as the other Titans ran, following 'Larry' from one breakable object, to a valuable piece of equipment; from the kitchen to Beastboy's enviable library of music Cd's, all the while exhorting the little gremlin to 'leave that alone!'

Getting bored of viewing the merry chase, Raven summoned a spherical energy-field of dark energy, inclosing the diminutive mimic.

"Are we done, here?" Raven huffed. "If so, I would like to take care of some business…"

She stopped speaking. Raven looked from Robin, to Starfire, to Cyborg, then to Beastboy. The four were staring at her.

"What?"she asked, truly puzzled.

"Hel-low?"Beastboy pointed to his face.

The light bulb came on, and she slapped her palm against her forehead. "Of course-you don't know"- then continued, holding her hands out like a two-handed pizza-jockey. "I got a makeover, of sorts. Um, how about I tell you about it later?"

"No way!" Was Beastboy's comment.

Robin continued to stare, although he thought he had been prepared for a change in Raven.

Starfire immediately took Raven's statement as an invitation to fly over to give the dark girl a bone-crushing hug. "How gloriously beautiful you are, dear friend Raven! You must tell me where I can obtain some of this 'make-over!"

Cyborg just scratched his head. "I don't get it," he stated simply. "You're wearing makeup?"

Raven soured, her face revealing a look of utter frustration born of impatience. "I really don't have time for this-oh, and Star-if you don't mind."

Starfire, never one to miss such a subtle hint, withdrew her arms, and blushed. "I am sorry, Raven. Joyous feelings overcome me, looking upon your new-youness."

'Larry,' meanwhile, content up to this point with observing the odd proceedings, was now making a plea for his release. "Hey Raven, you didn't forget about me, did you?"

Raven looked amused. "No, I haven't forgotten you." Casually waving her hand, she caused the dark bubble to dissipate. "I'm sorry I did that. Old habits are hard to break. I still need your help. Do you need to come with me, or can you do it from here?"

With the exception of Robin, the other Titans were wearing confused expressions. Robin began an explanation of Raven's plan as she and 'Larry' finalized their plans.

"I can give store my powers in a object for you to take with you…" he began scanning the room-"aha! The perfect container!" He exclaimed. Closing his eyes and squinting-tongue sticking out in concentration, her reached out, and transferred the required measure… .
