Notes: I dedicate this to my girlfriend because she reminds me of Raven. LOL and I remind her of BB.

Chapter one: A new look
It was an ordinary day at Titans Tower. Robin was training, Starfire was watching him, Cyborg and Beast Boy were having a
battle on the gamestation, and Raven was reading a book on the couch. Or so it seemed. She was trying to read, but the
noise of the TV was distracting. Or maybe it was the green titan in front of it. She kept stealing glances and then reprimanding
herself for doing so. "What's the matter with me?" she thought, "Why do keep looking at him? Oh yeah, because I like him.
This is pointless. He'll never feel the way I do. Nothing can change that, unless I change myself." Suddenly she felt a tap on
her shoulder. "Hey Raven, are you okay?" Beast Boy asked, "You seem kinda spaced out." "I'm fine!" she snapped back,
"I have to go." She quickly ran out of the room towards the training area leaving a confused BB. "Ooooookay," was all he
could say. "Hey, BB, come on," Cyborg called, "You owe me a rematch." Beast boy, still perplexed about what just
happened sat, back down in front of the TV next to Cy. Meanwhile, Raven was at the training area seeking help from a
certain alien. "You actually want help from me, friend Raven?!" Starfire asked excitedly. "Uh, yeah" Starfire couldn't contain
herself. "Hooray! Then I shall assist you in anyway I can!" "Okay Star, you don't have to shout." "Sorry. Let us go to my
room." Raven shuddered at the thought but said, "sigh Sure, why not?" The girls got there and immediately Raven was
riddled with questions. "What is it you need? Should we tell the others? Are you sure I can help?" "Enough! To answer the
second and third question, no, we should not tell the others and yes, I'm very sure you can help. Now to answer the first
question, I was wondering if gulp you would give me a makeover." Starfire stared at Raven puzzled, "Friend Raven, why
would you need or want a makeover?" Because I . . . want to attract Beast Boy's attention." "Oh, I thought that was what it
was." "Huh? You knew I liked Beast Boy?" "It is painfully obvious the way you glance at him. I do not think you need a
makeover, Raven. Just tell him how you feel." "I don't want to tell him just to be rejected, Star. I want to find out whether or
not he likes me back and this will help me." "Well, if that is what you want, I shall give it to you, but first I must make a phone
call." Star flew into the kitchen and dialed up a number. "Hello? Friend, can you come over right away and bring your
teammates with you? Many thanks!" She hung up and waited by the door while Raven still waited in her room. Finally, a
knock was heard and in came Speedy, Aqualad, Bumblebee, and Terra. Robin came in and wondered what was going on.
"What are you guys doing here?" Robin asked. Starfire immediately interjected, "I sent for them so the boys could help you
train, Robin. The girls will help me and Raven." "Good idea, Star. In fact why don't you girls take the day off to go to the
mall or something while we guys train?" "Thank you, Robin!" Starfire replied as she gave Robin a bone crushing hug. She
then quickly grabbed Terra and Bumblebee and dragged them to her room. "Sorry to have kept you waiting, friend Raven,
but I thought I might need some help." Star turned to face Terra and Bumblebee, "Raven needs a makeover to test Beast
Boy's love for her." "Starfire!" Raven yelled. Terra quickly cut in, "Cool! Never thought I'd see the day." "Let's get started,"
added Bumblebee. "I'm beginning to think this was a bad idea," Raven said.
Terra: This is what you give me to work with?
Well, honey, I've seen worse
We're going to turn this sow's ear
Into a silk purse
"You're no prize yourself Terra," Raven replied as the girls led her to the sink.
Star: We'll have you
Washed and dried
Primped and polished till
you glow with pride
Trust my recipe for
instant bride
You'll bring honor to us all
"Bride?!" cried Raven. "Oops, I mean girlfriend," Star quickly remarked as they fixed Rae's hair.
Terra: Wait and see
When we're through
BBee: Boys will gladly go to
War for you
Terra: With good fortune
BBee: And a great hairdo
Both: You'll bring honor to us all
Girls: A girl can always bring herself
Great honor in one way
By striking a good match
And this could be the day
They led Rae to the closet for some new clothes.
BBee: Men want girls
with good taste
Terra: Calm
Star: Obedient
BBee: Who work fast-paced
With good breeding
Terra: And a tiny waist
Rae: gasp
Girls: You'll bring honor to us all
We all must help
Our male teammates
Who squash bad guys
Like bugs
By fighting by their side
And giving lots of hugs
They then proceeded to adorn Raven with makeup.
Girls: When we're through
you can't fail
Like a lotus blossom
soft and pale
How could any fellow
Say "No sale"
You'll bring honor to us all
Terra: There -- you're ready
Star: Not yet
An apple for serenity . . .
A pendant for balance . . .
Beads of jade for beauty
You must proudly show it
Now add a big hug
Just for luck
And even you can't blow it
Raven started to walk down the hall.
Rae: Ok self
Hear my plea
Help me not to make a
fool of me
And to not uproot
anymore trees
And keep Beast Boy
Standing tall
Girls: Scarier than the
undertaker
We're playing
Raven's matchmaker
Destiny
Guard our girl
And her future as
It fast unfurls
Please look kindly on
This cultured pearl
She's a perfect
Porcelain doll
Terra: Please bring honor to us
BBee: Please bring honor to us
Star: Please bring honor to us
Rae: Please bring honor to us
All: Please bring honor to us all
With that, Raven went off to the living room to see Beast Boy's reaction.
