Thank you to all who took the time to read and review this fanfiction! I am sorry that I'm not responding to any of them, but my e-mail has been acting odd lately. So thank you!
The Titans—or former Titans—had all arrived in Steel City two days ago, and now it was the night before the wedding. All of Victor (Cyborg) and Sharon (Bumblebee)'s friends had shown up, all except for Terra and Starfire.
Now they were all sitting outside in the courtyard of the hotel where they were staying, and where the wedding would take place.
They had broken up into two groups, mainly being the girl's, who were sitting and talking with Sharon on one side of the courtyard, and the boy's who were sitting on the other side.
"You're so lucky to have found someone who loves you enough to spend the rest of his life with you. It's so romantic!" One of Sharon's friends, Lucy, said dreamily.
"You've got a boyfriend, Lucy. He loves you—" Sharon said. "In fact, you've all got boyfriends, haven't you?"
"Bri hasn't!" Another girl, Mary, called out suddenly.
"But there must be someone she likes… Maybe someone at school…?" Karen (Sharon's sister) said, in a tone of voice that clearly said "I-know-it's-true-so-don't-try-and-deny-it."
"Not really—" Briony answered, fidgeting in her chair as everyone turned to look at her, giggling.
"If there's no one at school…" Karen trailed off. "Someone else then?"
"Maybe…Richard Grayson?" Sharon asked teasingly. Briony blushed.
"Why do I get the idea that this conversation was planned to go this way?" She asked sarcastically. "But no. He's only my friend."
"Of course he is," Lucy said. "We all saw the way you blushed!"
"I personally support the boyfriend at school theory," Amanada, a cousin, said loudly.
"Yeah, there was that boy that you were telling me about… The one that was going to send you the work you missed?" Sharon said. "What was his name?"
"Ryan is just a friend—"
"Oh, how romantic!" Another girl swooned.
"No, it's not—" Briony tried to protest, but her words were drowned under the giggles and squeals of the other girls.
Over on the other side of the courtyard, the boys were looking over at the girls.
"I wonder what got them so excited," Richard asked.
"Dunno," Victor answered. He chuckled. "Something 'bout Ra—Bri, though. I can see her blushing over there."
They could see the bright red blush creeping up their friends pale face, and Garfield jumped up suddenly.
"I've got it! They think that she's dating a robotic—what?" He stopped suddenly.
"Your theories are as corny as ever," Victor noted, smiling.
"Yes, Friend Garfield is the same as ever."
Standing behind them, looking hesitantly at the ground, was Starfire.
"Hey, Star. Good to see you again."
"Yeah. I'm glad you decided to come."
"I agree with them, sister dear."
