Author's Note: I'm soooo sorry I haven't updated for awhile, I had a ton of school work, and I still need to get two projects done. But, I had time to type this chapter last night. Plus, it's a very special occasion! Today is my 13th birthday! Well, okay, it's on April 14th, but today I'm having my party. So, I thought I should get this up before I'm busy with that.
So, here it is... and please review! I love reading them.


"Soooooooo... what are we gonna see?" Cyborg asked, looking at the movie selection with boredom.

"How about this one?" Starfire suggested, grinning and pointing at a movie poster that had fluffy cartoon bunnies everywhere. Everyone stared at her wearily. She slowly let her hand fall back to her side. "I take that as a no..." She said gloomily.

"Ahem..." Raven cleared her throat, and stared at a poster she was by. It looked very dark; it was a horror movie poster. She nodded toward it. Normally the team liked a good scare, but this one looked to morbid to bare, and just by the poster.

"I... I think not..." Robin said.

"Fine..." Raven replied, but looked back at the poster with longing. Terra slowly examined all the posters and finally stepped toward one.

"What about this?" She gestured toward it. It looked like an action thriller, that suggested some romance was involved too. The rest of the team looked at it for a minute and then discussed it amongst themselves quietly.

"No objections?" Robin spoke loudly.

"No objections." The team said in unison. Terra looked proud at finding something everyone agreed on. They marched into the theater lobby together, paying for their tickets at the booth. As they were looking for the right showing room, Cyborg spotted the concession area.

"Dude, I'm going to get the food. What do y'all want?" He said immediately, his mouth beginning to water.

"Just a medium coke for me, Cyborg." Robin said, looking in the other direction toward the theater rooms.

"Popcorn, extra salt and butter." Beast Boy told him.

"... Some M&Ms might be nice..." Raven mumbled.

"Skittles!" Terra exclaimed brightly.

"Get me... um... a candy bar! I don't care what kind." Starfire replied.

"Okay... is that all? I'll get you guys some coke too, alright?" Cyborg said, trying to remember all of the orders.

"We'll meet you in the showing room, see you in a bit, Cyborg." Robin informed him and led the team to a hall where all the rooms were lined up. "In here." He said. They ducked into the dimly lit room and found some seats closer to the front. They sat down in this order: Robin saved a spot for Cyborg, then Robin seated himself, Terra took the seat next to Robin, then came Beast Boy, and Starfire sandwiched herself between Beast Boy and Raven, whom was on the end.

There weren't many people in the room, mainly just a group of teenagers in the back rows and an old couple. The old couple were sitting near the exit, as if expecting to leave. At the appearance of the titans, the teenager's conversations were quickly hushed. The team could feel the teenagers staring at them. This bothered Raven rather quickly, she pulled up her hood even further, covering the rest of her face. The stares didn't seem to have affected Robin or Starfire. They both continued to make themselves comfortable. Beast Boy, however, was getting highly peeved by this. Terra was showing signs of irritation too. After a few more minutes, Beast Boy couldn't take it anymore. He turned around in his seat, supporting himself with his knees.

"Hey, you got something to say to us or what?" He shot at them. "Because you seem to be staring at us enough." Most of the people looked a little startled by his sudden outburst. They didn't answer.

"Yeah, that's what we thought." Rang Terra's voice. She, too, had turned around to face the teenagers. Beast Boy glanced at her, but then stared back up at the teens. One of them finally made a move to talk to them.

"Look, babe, we just aren't used to having..." He paused for a moment. "Freaks in the theater. So, don't take it in offense if we take interest in staring at you." His eyes scanned the entire team and then gave a weird snort. The rest of team had turned around now, except for Raven, whom was still debating if she should bother with it.

"Excuse me, but it's these 'freaks' that save all your asses when there is a threat to this city." Beast Boy said coolly.

"Was I talking to you, green boy? I don't think so. I was talking to the lady." He said, giving Beast Boy a small smirk. Then his eyes traveled back to Terra. "Actually, you are probably the only normal one in this lot." He added.

"Hey! I'm talking to you-!" Beast Boy growled at the boy, but he was ignored.

"How about it, want to come up here and join us?" The boy asked Terra slyly.

"Alex, stop it..." A girl on his right side said.

"No, this is fun..." Alex said, brushing the girl off.

"You're just going to get your sorry ass kicked!" Another girl said.

"Yeah, Alex, quit being a smart-ass." A boy said.

"Shut up!" Alex yelled at them. The buzzing group fell silent. "Anyway... where were we?" The titans just glared at him, including Raven. Robin, however, only gazed up at the boy, not taking much interest in him.

"Oh, yes, I was inviting you up here..." Alex nodded at Terra. "So, what do you say? Lose the zeroes and get with the hero." He started laughing. At this, Raven stood up and crept up the stairs. "Huh? What do you want? You want me too? Haha." Raven swept over to him, getting in his face.

"Shut your hole before I shut it up for you." She breathed. He looked at her for a moment and then laughed again.

"And what are you going to do? Punch me? Yeah right!" He started laughing even harder. The girl next to him hit him sharply on the head.

"Alex! Shut... up!"

"Actually..." Raven said. "I can do much worse than a punch." She held out her hand to his face. "Azarath... Metrion... Zynthos!" A black curtain shot up around him. He stopped laughing.

"What... what is this? What are you going to do to me!" He said in a high, panicky voice.

"Who's laughing now?" Raven said.

"Please, don't hurt him!" The girl beside him cried.

"Don't worry... I wouldn't destroy such an easy target... or such a stupid one... without a real reason." Raven said, releasing him from the black matter.

"You... you're crazy!" Alex pointed at Raven. "I'm getting out of here!" And with that, he rushed down the aisle and out of the room.

"Thank you... for not hurting him..." The girl said with relief, bowing her head to Raven. Raven shrugged.

"He just needs to learn to shut his mouth."

"We agree." A few people said.

"We don't even know what happened to the Alex we used to know... but it's not like we are going to leave him. He's still our friend." A boy said quietly.

"Well, problem solved." Raven said, not understanding why she was being thanked. "So, I assume you'll be leaving too?"

"Actually, no, we would rather stay and watch the movie... than run after that pain in the ass." A girl said, leaning back in her chair.

"Whatever..." Raven mumbled, pulling her hood back up again. She walked back to her seat.

"Niiice!" Beast Boy said, impressed.

"Yeah, nice going." Robin said. "You could have gotten us kicked out."

"What! You are worrying about that? That kid had just threatened us, Terra!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "I think that's a little more important than if we get kicked out or not."

"Look..." Robin started, but wasn't able to finish, seeing to Cyborg had returned with their concessions.

"Maaaan! Those were some long lines!" Cyborg spoke over him loudly. He was balancing a huge heap of snacks in his arms. "I think I have everything..." He started passing the food down to it's owners. Robin was still keeping watch over Beast Boy, ready to speak when he could. Cyborg shoved Robin's coke at him. "Here you go, man... let's see... who had Skittles?"

"Me!" Terra said eagerly, reaching out to receive her candy. Robin busied himself with sipping his coke instead, it would probably be better if he kept his mouth shut for awhile. After Cyborg had passed everything to the right place, he sat down by Robin with a satisfied sigh.

"This should be an interesting movie." He stated, shoveling popcorn into his mouth.

"Hey, Cy, go easy on the food. That has to last you through the whole movie." Robin warned.

"What? It does! I thought we'd be able to go get more..." Cyborg groaned. "Well... oh well..." He added, stuffing more into his mouth. Robin sweat dropped. Soon though, the theater's lights grew dimmer until they finally went out. The previews started playing. The usual sequence of previews played: Horror, comedy, romance, and then action. None of them really payed attention to the previews, just whispered to each other until they ended.

When the movie started, they all turned their heads back to the screen, focusing on the flashing screen. Through the time, they absent mindedly munched on their snacks. About half way through the movie, Beast Boy realized he was running low on popcorn and soda. And that's when he realized something else, too. Out of the corner of his eyes, he could see very clearly that Robin had his arm around Terra, she was leaning her head on his shoulder. They both looked pretty comfortable. Beast Boy choked on some of the popcorn he still had in his mouth. Starfire looked to see what was wrong, but he had washed it down with his remaining soda. He looked back at Starfire, but she was now looking at Robin and Terra. She had a look of soft defeat in her eyes. Beast Boy's heart sunk, he hadn't noticed how much this was affecting Starfire too. Before he could turn away from her, she looked back at him. They locked eyes for a moment, and then she made the weirdest move Beast Boy could think of. She put her arm around him. He froze for a few seconds, but then shook his head. He leaned toward her ear and whispered, "I'm supposed to put my arm around you."

"Oh!" She squeaked and took her arm back. Beast Boy smiled at her and put his arm around her. This pulled her a little closer to him. At first she was very tense, not sure of what to do and, Beast Boy guessed, felt a little uncomfortable. But after a few minutes, she got into the flow and relaxed against him. Raven had seen the four, she shook her head and put her head in her hands. She knew what Beast Boy and Starfire were attempting to do now, and she had a feeling it wouldn't make things much better.

The hair on the back of Beast Boy's neck prickled, knowing he was being watched. He glanced over at Robin and Terra, and sure enough, Robin was looking at them. He looked somewhat crestfallen. He saw Beast Boy looking at him and shot his gaze back to the screen, his face burning a deep crimson. It's working... Beast Boy thought in half joy and half disbelief. It's actually working! We are getting to Robin. We've found his weak spot. Beast Boy felt unusually happy at this for the remainder of the movie. Along the way, he decided to try something else, he grabbed Starfire's hand in addition to having his other arm around her. Like Beast Boy suspected, Robin noticed, and he wasn't happy about it.

When the movie had ended, Beast Boy released Starfire to get up and stretch. Everyone else got up too. Cyborg started talking to them about the movie almost automatically. "Man! Was that awesome or what? I thought that fight scene kicked ass! It was all like..." Cyborg punched the air, "Boo ya!"

"Yeah, and that guy... he was like, 'Chwa!' and totally kicked that guy right in the Little Jimmies!" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"I must say... I was rather worried about that little boy trapped in the tower..." Starfire added.

"Nah, we all knew that Nara would find him. Not like she'd let him get eaten by that cannibal dude." Terra said.

"Well, I'm glad we all enjoyed it, but I think we should head back." Robin said over their conversations.

"Alright! Then let's get movin'!" Cyborg said. They all started filing out of their seats and down the rows.

They finally reached the exit doors, to be greeted by the sunset and a cool breeze outside. They walked lazily down the downtown sidewalks, talking about the movie. It got darker as they walked, the city beginning to glow with all it's bright night lights. It all seemed so enchanted, even though Beast Boy had seen it many times before, he was finally taking the time to actually look at it. It was beautiful, for a city anyway. Without thinking, he reached over, his hand brushing against Starfire's. They held onto each other's hand and smiled slightly, looking at their surroundings. Even though Robin and Terra weren't holding hands, Beast Boy just... wanted to. And what seemed to amaze him a little more, is that Starfire didn't mind.


They got back to the tower around eight thirty, but most of them were surprisingly tired. Most of them said their 'good nights' and headed off to their rooms for a nights relaxation. The only two left were Beast Boy and Starfire. They sat at the kitchen counter, just sipping on ice water, talking about random subjects. It was around ten when they decided to call it quits and go to bed. Beast Boy had learned an alarming amount of things about Starfire in their little chat. It made him feel a little better that he was able to open up to her more and just talk to her like that, and the fact that he could learn so much about her.

"Well, see you in the morning, Star." Beast Boy bid her good night with a yawn.

"Yes, good night." She replied. But before he turned to leave, she stepped closer. She looked at him for a moment, with those gentle eyes. That's all he saw, those green, gentle eyes. And before he knew it, she had kissed him on the cheek and was turning to leave. Beast Boy stood there in shock, his cheek still tingling from where she had kissed him. He raised his hand to his cheek, staring at the door she had just disappeared behind.

Beast Boy didn't remember going to his room, but he opened the door and collapsed on his bed. He stared into space, still touching his cheek. He was blushing slightly now. He closed his eyes to think. Then something struck him with a small pang, his eyes flew open again, staring into the darkness.

Am I falling for... Star?
