Stop Joking With Our Emotions!
Written By: Pakkrat
Note: This is a story of the more accepted relationships in the Teen Titan collection! So pairings are as follows, BeastBoy/Raven and Robin/Starfire. Also, the people that made Teen Titans the comics and cartoons own their characters, I just play with their characters like puppets! Right Puppet King?
Puppet King: … take you're hand out of my butt…
Pakkrat: … eh-heh, just read and if you can review! SMILE!!!
Puppet King: ... e-hem.
Pakkrat: Oops... sorry.
On top of the infamous Titan Tower, was the female hero Raven, a slender and yet conclusive person, her powers are the most taxing. Calling for complete control of one's emotions on a constant daily basis can be taxing, especially with a group of super hero friends like hers.
Raven was in her normal meditative state, now going into the astral plane. Here she had her spiritual form of a hooded girl, nothing odd to her normal apparel. There was one thing out of the normal… "FOUR!" a trans-spiritual golf ball flew past here, the Shaolin Monks were playing a game of spirit golf… Raven sighed at this sight, a place of enlightenment reduced to a tourist attraction. "Azarath Metrone Zinthos" was what she chanted to keep in perfect meditation, until a loud and slightly obnoxious green boy bolted to scream "OH! RAVEN!!!" Raven's concentration now gone to the bouncing kangaroo she sighed to turn to Beast Boy turning back to his humanoid form, "Look! Look!" She took a flyer from his hand and saw the picture of a clown, and "Lord Laughs-A-Lot" in the title. "The most awesome, coolest, bestrest, greatest, funniest, place in the world and we get four free tickets!"
Raven narrowed her eyes, "Beast boy… how many times does five go into four?"
Beast Boy smiled on, looking at the four tickets, with his big star eyes, then the stars shattered to then had clouds of gray and rain pour upon him. "Oh… I never realized that." Beast Boy then picked himself up slapping himself in the head, "Oh I forgot! Cy says he wanted to stay home so you, me, Robin, and Star are going! Like a date or something! See-Ya!" Beast Boy ran down the stairs to get his stuff together.
Raven turned to her meditation "Azarath… Metrone… Zin- wait… DATE!!!!!"
(Now comes the title like in the show, to divide the plot from story!)

(SEE, wasn't that bad now was it? Now we can get back to the story!)
Raven was sitting with her legs crossed, her cheeks flushed, and he thoughts running a billion times more than usual! Did Beast Boy, her good friend and the guy she made a hobby to poke fun at have a feeling for her? Oh, but what about Terra? Terra was still trapped and those two did have a history… kind of. They were supposed to only be really good friends… okay… Raven finally stopped thinking and left the roof top. She decided to clear her thoughts with a drink, it would make sense at the moment.
Inside the Kitchen, while she was thinking, Beast Boy was as chipper as a humming bird, literally. He fluttered about the room his wings going impossibly fast before Cyborg who was sitting at the table with a large sub reached up to have Beast Boy smack dead into his large palm. Beast Boy slowly peeled off and then turned to normal screaming "Dude! What was that for?"
Cyborg took a large bite, and swallowed, "You were annoying me." He then grinned, "So you're really happy about going on a date with Raven, right?"
Raven had come to the door and listened; she was anticipating a long speech but was shocked at what Beast boy really did! "WHAT!" Beast Boy was flailing his arms and looked embarrassed, "No, no! I uh… was just happy how I'll go out and meet up with some…" Beast boy did a little wiggle of his arms, and seductive flare of his brows to emphasize his point, "fly honeys… Raven won't mind the deal. She hates to leave the house but she'll thank me later."
"What? You're playing her?" Cyborg looked kind of upset, "She's you're friend man!"
"Whoa! I don't mean it that way! I'm just sure she'd never want to go on some kind of a date."
Cyborg looked some what confused, "Well, what if Raven started to hit on somebody else on your date? I mean she's not going to be with you so what if she hit on… like… Robin?"
Beast Boy became huffed, "Yeah, right, she would never dare! She'd either upset Star or me!"
"But you don't like her like that." Cyborg had a nice little grin.
Beast Boy gulped, "Well, I don't but it's the principle!"
At this point a light bulb blew, the two men looked confused, the lights were changed earlier. Raven was outside fuming, she floated to her room wondering why she even thought she could like the idiot! She then had a sudden flash, a sudden revenge induced evil plan! She rubbed her hands together and headed to Starfire's room. Raven had opened the door, and saw that Starfire was not even there! One of the times she needed her and she was not even around! "Excuse me, Raven?" Raven turned to see Starfire smiling in her oh so gleeful manner, "How are you today?"
Raven sighed, "I'm fine Starfire, how are you?"
Starfire smiled saying, "I am so uncontrollably happy! Robin has asked me to go on a…" she became shifty eyed and leaned into Raven's ear saying, "Date." She then beamed up with hearts in her eyes. Raven felt like gagging…
"I'm… thrilled for you Star, could I borrow a couple of you're books. Beast Boy asked me out tonight to and-."
Starfire was now slapping her hands together, "OH! Raven! Wondrous news! I never knew Beast Boy had feelings for you! I will retrieve all my romance novels for you to enjoy and take ideas as to how to be during you're date as well!"
Starfire then ran into her room searching for a small box of paperback books she bought for her early lessons to the human world. She enjoyed them, but never found out what some of the stories meant. She gave the box to Raven smiling, "Oh, how proud I am you and Beast Boy will be together tonight!"
Raven rolled her eyes, "Yeah…" she then floated off to her room where she looked to see it was not 8:20 am, it was more than likely that this ordeal was going to be late at night. Raven started to skim the books, the on going love and googly eyed teens annoyed her, but she found several stories like she wanted, stories of… seduction…
It was not a lie, that's what he told himself, Beast Boy was not lying about Raven to Cyborg. He was not planning of making a really big deal of the night… aside the fact it was his dream come true! For as long as Beast Boy could recall he had an admiration for Raven's constant cool in almost all situations, something Beast Boy lacked. She was also very powerful not only her powers but to control her emotions constantly from the fact if she did not some powerful force could overpower her and cause all sorts of terrible things to happen. Raven was not just admirable, she was… adorable! Beast Boy was not only in like, but love of the girl. He was ashamed that Cyborg would know, the only other person he let know was Terra.
Beast Boy was in his room digging his head into his pillow, how terrible he felt when he went to the little shrine and saw Terra trapped… how long till he could hold her? He had gone with Raven, it was one of his many visits to the girl he found to be his greatest friend. "So, how have you been? Everyone's the same up at the tower. We were all going to come but they said they will make it in a little while. You know, can't leave the city unprotected." His ears kind of drooped, he never knew if she heard him, or if she knew he was there. He lived on his hope that she could understand it some how.
"Beast boy, we don't have time to waste let's go!" Raven seemed more put off about the trip. Beast Boy sighed as he made his way out, he realized not to far he dropped his communicator, as he was headed back he heard Raven talking. "So, like I said before. I still feel something… weird… around him. Terra, I think I like him, I'm not sure."
Beast Boy turned around the corner slowly, and turned into a small gopher that burrowed next to Raven. More actually behind a rock she sat on. She continued, "Every time he makes one of his lame jokes, or makes that little grin, I feel more… safe… safer than any other time in my life. I have always had a hard life; making up to the fact of my past was hard till I met him. The truth is, I never accepted you because how you two meant so much to each other. I knew you could take him away, but now I feel worse that you're gone and if I acted on my whims, it would be wrong as you're trapped and not able to give him a sense of love anyway. I guess I need you're… you're…" Raven gave one of her so small nearly impossible to see grins, "You're blessing to love…" there was a deep pause "Beast Boy."
At that Beast Boy jumped out of his hole quickly dive into it again and burrow away. Raven didn't notice him, he stayed in the path listening, to hear what sounded like a crackling, Raven seemed to beam with joy saying "Thank you!" she then went back to the monotone, "Terra, I appreciate it." She left then. Beast Boy popped out to grab his com device, and see Terra's face, he smiled, saying, "Um… I heard, thanks for saying its okay… I kinda liked her to… don't tell kay?"
Beast Boy ran, the smile on Terra's face was now a greater, and happier one, happy most likely for her friends.
That was why when the tickets came, and the ideas rolled, Beast Boy knew he would finally get her and him to have a date, a chance to explore their emotions more freely. So what was Raven going to do?
Raven was slowly making her way through the tower, she saw her target, he was in the gym working out. Robin, the leader, the only way for her to get revenge! Raven made a small stroll inside of the tower's gym to come up to Robin as he kicked and punched the hanging punching bag. She watched, she had to do something very… VERY unlike her. A direct flirtatious phrase or scenario to get his attention to then play the game out properly. She watched as he punched with a strong right jab and then a left, something was going to strike his male pride quick, to cause the needed effect. The way he was moving? No, to obvious… the way he smelled? He was sweating… Perfect! 'Oh my gawd! Like, you're going to so blow it!" the chopper valley girl personality of Raven's free spirited emotions came on laughing, a lot of stress was on her emotional levels trying to attempt this. Ignoring it Raven said slowly, "Robin?"
Robin continued his strikes, "Yeah, what is it? Trouble?"
"No, the way you're sweating, the date and all, you may need a shower."
Robin nodded, going to his strikes quickly again, "Yeah, I'll get one in a little while. You could get one if you want."
Raven felt ill now, the meager, sadder her spoke out, 'He may not like this…'
The courageous Raven said, 'Go for it! He'll be freaking fine! Boo-Ya!'
Raven nodded, 'No turning back now!' she spoke aloud, "Actually, I thought we could get one together."
Robin was still in a high kick when it struck him, "TOGETHER!?!" His kick was then tangled, he was strapped by the ankle with the bag's chains, Raven leaned over to the hanging titan saying, "I see you're not ready, we have a whole night to enjoy things like that… don't worry." She then kissed her finger tips and laid them to Robin's cheek, She walked off saying "See ya… Robin."
Robin was beet red… 'Um… was that Raven?' he was thinking to himself for a while as he was stuck.
Raven took the time to go to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth, downed wash, brushed, then washed, and spat to try and get the evil words from her lips. Her emotions were hysterical with laughter, she controlled them and slowly made her way outside, soon enough the date would begin.
Meanwhile… City District
The man ran the streets, quickly outrunning the big van, the van pulled in front of him allowing two men to grab the runner dragging him inside. The man was the owner of "Lord Laughs A-Lots" restaurant. The goons holding him wore strange clown costumes, like circus clowns! One man sat in a swivel chair saying, "Oh, Charlie… we have a tight snag in the plan."
Charlie, the abducted man asked, "Um, what?"
"Well, you say you're the Lord of Laughs, but the problem is… I'm the only one with that TITLE!" A large grin shown through the dim van, "So, why shouldn't I kill you right where you are?"
"Be… because the Titans are coming to my restaurant! They can be yours Mr. umm… Mr."
"Please Charlie, call me,. Mr. J…" Mr. J began to let out a low chuckle that slowly grew to a strong roaring sadistic laugh…laughter of the truly mad and insane…
Note: Okay, a story I wanted to write for fun and my love of the Teen Titans show. So what does everyone think? I know the first chapter is short but I wanted to give a taste to the story. It's going to be SO fun with the date! Keep reading and review if you can I'd love to see what everyone thinks. Also, I want to know if they would like/dislike if Raven is more flirting with Robin, I know it may seem out of character but her not liking it seems to keep her true to her character kay, bye!
