December's Secrets
Shopping Sucks

As the Sun set, it's golden glow filled the Titan's living room casting all in a bright light. Starfire sat at the counter with Terra jawing away about how much she was going to enjoy the upcoming ball of Christmas. She had spent the majority of the day talking about the masked, arrow slinging hero known commonly as Speedy. She spoke of how good Terra's idea had been and how happy she was that he was coming, not only to convince to Earth mover, but herself as well.

She smiled brightly on the outside, although inside she was a complete wreck. She wanted to run away and cry in the familiarity of her wonderfully pink room. (A/N: That actually hurt to write. Evil Pink). She now had no possible way of going to the ball with her Robin, and no matter how much she tried to convince herself, that Speedy was a clone of Robin, it wouldn't be that same. It pained her even more to think Robin might go with another girl; that another girl would dance with her boy and hold her boy. Just the thought made her blood boil, and a level of jealousy, that she never knew she could reach, come about.

"I'm so happy for you, Star. I know you'll have a great time with Speedy. He has great hair," Terra spoke making the Tamaraian girl snap out of her thought of torturing the girl that would ever lay a finger on Robin. She grinned broadly at Terra while nodding her false agreement.

"Yes, I am looking forward to ball. He will make a wondrous escort," Starfire lied.

"Good. Now if you excuse me, I have a date of my own to secure," Terra stood giving the alien one last bright smile. Terra was a lot more observant than most people seemed to think. She knew Starfire had been lying straight through her teeth during the entire conversation. Terra feared that if the two lovebirds found a way to go together that she would have to stop Starfire from ripping Raven's head off, and knowing Raven, her best friend would never go down without a fight.

Walking her way to the couch, Terra blew on Beast Boy's ear to get his attention. "What's up, babe?" Beast Boy asked not even bothering to look away from the TV.

Once again Terra felt a strong envy over Raven and her mature boyfriend. "I was thinking we should go somewhere tomorrow?"

"I doubt Robin will let us off for an entire day, Terra," Beast Boy returned.

"Oh I think he will," Terra said.

"What makes you say that?" Beast Boy questioned.

"Let's just say, I have connections," she answered cheerfully.

"If you can get wonder boy to cancel work then I'd love to spend the day off with you," Beast Boy smiled at his girlfriend as she kissed him lightly.

"You better not let Robin hear you call him that, because there is only one person that can call him that and live to see another day, and that's Rae," Terra added as she headed out the room.

"Psst," Beast Boy said under his breath.

"She's right; you know?" Cyborg responded.

"Yeah I know," the changeling admitted.

TTT

"Man where are those two. I'm starving," Cyborg complained as the cloak flashed 7:30 P.M.

"Dude your always hungry," Beast Boy joked.

"Shut up. Seriously BB, don't you think it's strange that they seem to both disappear at the same time, and show up only when they're needed," Cyborg continued.

"I don't, " Terra spoke up, "I mean they're both very independent people. It normal for them to be AWOL when there's no trouble."

"Yeah, but they've never been absent for this long a time, not without at least popping out for a brief moment. And I haven't seen them anywhere in the tower." Cyborg pointed out.

"Did you check anywhere besides the garage and living room?" Terra asked.

"No," Cyborg admitted slightly embarrassed

"Well, then they're probably just in their rooms," which was only half true.

"Yes, friend Cyborg, there is no reason to point the finger of accusation at our fellow teammates," Starfire chirped. After all there was no possible way that Raven and Robin could be romantically involved.

Terra smirked happily. She loved knowing something the others didn't.

"Well, then I'm going to find them, 'cause I'm tired of waiting," Cyborg decided.

"How about you guys go on ahead and I'll get them?" Terra offered.

"There's only one problem Terra; how are you going to get there?" Cyborg asked.

"Hello. Doesn't anyone remember Raven has the power to teleport people using the big birdy trick," Terra reminded.

"Whatever," Cyborg mumbled along with something about smart-alic blondes as he ushered the other two Titans out the door. Beast Boy blew a kiss at Terra before exiting with them.

TTT

Clang. Clang. Clang. The sound reverberated through the room stirring the peacefully resting birds from their sleep. Out of habit Raven stood to answer the door completely forgetting that she was in Robin's room. She opened the door still looking directly at the floor and irritably yelled, "What?" Immediately she realized the mistake she had made. Jerking her head to meet, to her relief, baby blue eyes. Terra was struggling to hold in her laughter, and failed miserably as she bent over in hysterics.

"You should have seen the look in your face," Terra stopped abruptly as she remembered that Raven was in Robin's ROOM, "what were you guys doing?"

"We were sleeping, just sleeping," Raven added quickly.

"Thank God. Anyway we have to meet the others at the mall for pizza and etc. So get a move on it. Oh and by the way, you two might want to make it a point to try and not disappear and reappear at the same times, because Cyborg getting kind of suspicious." Terra warned.

"Oh, I never realized we were doing that. Terra, I'll just tell Robin and then get ready. Meet us down stairs in five," Terra nodded and ran away.

Raven leaned on the door and let a sigh escape her lips. "We are so lucky that was Terra."

"Yeah, you should be more careful, Rae," Robin snickered at her uneasiness.

Raven grabbed Robin shirt from off the chair and threw it at him, "Hurry up and get dressed (A/N: He only had his shirt off, so don't get any ideas. Sickos) We're going to the mall."

"Okay," when Raven turned to leave he shouted, "Rae, wait," After scrambling to his feet he ran to her as the door opened. He wrapping her in his arms lovingly. Tenderly he kissed her, trying to soak up the feeling of her lips before he had to pretend he did feel the way he did. He whispered to her as he shoved her out of the room, "I love you."

Raven leaned against the now closed door, smiling widely. On the other side Robin waited for the words he knew were coming. "I love my boyfriend," Raven yelled as loudly as her vocal cords would allow.

She ran quickly to her room as Robin's loud laughter filled his room.

TTT

Meeting Terra outside they decided to let Raven teleport them most of the way there, so that the two birds could act like a normal couple for once. They walked down the street holding hands, dressed in normal clothes, as they talked to their friend and secret-keeper Terra.

"I have to say it is very refreshing to see you two happy together," Terra said as she made her away down the street walking backwards.

"So Robin, I was thinking that we could maybe, sort of, kind of take the day off tomorrow," Terra suggested.

"I don't know. The team hasn't really been practicing very much lately," Robin returned.

"Oh come on wonder boy, it would be nice to have a day where we're not high alert," Raven added.

"What do you call today?" Robin asked.

"We call today Sunday. It's the Sabbath, you're not supposed to work on the Sabbath," Terra answered wholeheartedly.

"Since when did you practice things of the Christian variety?" Robin directed to Raven.

"Since I started dating you," Raven smiled at the Boy Wonder.

"Yeah fine. You can have tomorrow off too," Robin caved.

"Thank, Robin," Raven said as she kissed him on the cheek making the boy blush.

"Looks like we're here," pointed out Terra.

The couple squeezed each other's hands before they let go. Walking through the front doors, they were immediately amongst other teens. Trying their best to blend in, lest they cause a fan riot, they made their way to the food court. Starfire waved happily at them from a table by the Pizza Palace. They joined the bubbly, metal, and green Titans.

"Robi,n you may sit next to me," Starfire offered.

Robin declined gently, "That's okay, Star. I wouldn't want to make Cyborg move. I'll just sit between Terra and Rae."

The heros' meal was eaten quickly, but it was still filled with friendly conversations. Starfire and Terra discussed dresses for the ball by themselves until Raven was dragged into the dreadful conversation. Then Cyborg and Robin laughed at Beast Boy childish antics. After they had finished off the tenth box of pizza the team spread out across the mall. Cyborg and Beast Boy dismissed themselves to the arcade while the others visited the more elegant stores in the mall, although some of the teens had to be forced a little harder than others.

TTT

Raven glared at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a puffy, very pink (shutter) dress, with lace running up and down the sides. "I look like a pink Peep's Marshmallow," Raven yelled to the people out in the hall.

The empath heard the distinct sound of Robin's laughter coming from beyond the door, "Shut up, Robin," she yelled only causing him to laugh more, "Terra smack him for me," Raven requested and she heard a small ouch come from her boyfriend's mouth, "Thank you."

"I'm sure it's not that bad, Raven. Why don't you come out, and let us judge?" Terra suggested.

"There is no way in hell I'm coming out in this...this abomination to God," Raven answered.

"Fine then just change back," Terra said in a frustrated voice.

They had been in the mall for over two and a half hours. Terra and Starfire already picked out their dresses, but Raven was being her usual stubborn self.

Raven emerged from the dressing room once again throwing the dress on the no pile. Terra pointed to one end of the store."Okay Starfire and I will take the north, while you and Robin take the southern half of the store. Ready team, break."

They separated, once more diving into the racks of dresses. "Too long, too short, too revealing, gross pink," Raven mumbled as she sorted through the gowns. Her fingers constantly running over the fabric. "Damn, I wish I didn't have to do this. I don't know why I have to go through this whole hassle."

"Please Raven, for me?" Robin gave his best attempt at the puppy dog look.

Raven rolled her eyes, "Fine, but you owe me."

Robin gave her a smile and, fully aware of the risk, leaned down kissing her lightly. Rolling her eyes again, this time at the power he had over her, she turned back to the clothes.

Ten minutes later Raven found it. After suffering through all the pinks, yellows and other bright colors, Raven found the perfect dress. She ran to the dressing room as if her life depended on it.

She stared at herself in the mirror. The simple deep blue dress hugged her body perfectly showing off some of her curves. The halter top dress wasn't too long or too short and it shimmered slightly in the light. If was perfect. She smiled to herself and yelled over the stall, "I found it!"

"Great come on out and let us see," demanded Terra impatiently.(A/N who could blame her. I can barely stand shopping for ten minutes let alone 2 1/2 hour.)

"I don't think so," said Raven as she walked out of the dressing room wearing her jeans and black blouse, "I want it to be a surprise."

"Then why did you make us come along?" Terra yelled.

"Um...moral support," Raven answered ducking as Terra threw a mannequin head at her.

"So what's next?" Robin asked praying that they were finished.

"Let's grab the other boys and call it a night," Terra answered his prays.

"Why didn't I just go with them?" Robin wondered out loud.

"Because you needed a tux," Raven started, 'and I needed you there,' she added telepathically.

"Oh of course," agreed Robin, more to the latter excuse.

The ride home was fairly quiet. Beast Boy had to morph into a kitten and sit in Terra's lap in order to fit everyone into the T-car, and even then it a tight fight. Robin kept up two conversations, or rather kept up one and the illusion of another. Raven told Robin about the fascinating works of Edgar Allen Poe from her point of view, which in Robin's opinion was far more interesting than hearing Starfire rant about mustard.

Beast Boy purred in Terra's lap when she started petting him softly. "So what are you and Beast Boy doing for your day off?" Robin asked after Raven was done with her telepathic conversation.

"Well, I was thinking we could go to this carnival on the outskirts of town," Terra answered.

"That's sounds fun. Maybe we'll join you," Robin said.

"That would be cool, but if you don't mind I would like to spend a little time just the two of us," Terra pleaded.

"I understand. We'll go with you and when we get there, you two feel free to ditch us," Robin offered.

"Sounds like a plan," Terra agreed happily.

TTT

Raven stood in the frame of her door talking to the Boy Wonder. "So you thinking about ditching Star and Cy tomorrow as well as Terra and BB?" Raven asked.

"Maybe, but it might be hard to get Starfire away from me," Robin pouted.

"Maybe Speedy will come. He doesn't live too far," Raven suggested.

"Let me check," Robin whipped out his communicator and got Speedy on the line.

"What?" yelled Speedy grumpily from the other end.

"Sorry to wake you Speedy, but I was wondering if you want to go to a carnival tomorrow," Robin spoke into the round device.

"No offense Robin, but you're not my type," Speedy answered.

Robin glared into the screen and quickly yelled, "Not with me. I meant the whole team."

"I guess. When are you leaving?" Speedy asked.

"Around noonish," Robin said at little more quietly.

"I'll meet you at the tower," Speedy hung up.

"We're good," Robin smiled and kissed Raven lightly on the lips before retreating to his own room.

The door to Raven's room slid shut casting her in darkness. She fell onto her bed and tried to get comfortable. It was no use. She just felt incomplete and cold without Robin's arms wrapped around her.

Author's Note: It wasn't until a couple of days after I posted this chapter that I realized the ending got chopped off. So I reposted and well Review
