Darren looked back and admired his work. The room still smelled like rotten tofu, but it was actually clean! And, he had found a little bonus prize, in the form of a sticky-note on BB's computer. It bore two simple words, and four small numbers, and he clutched in his hands as he ran back down the hall.

It said: Raven's number, 4483.

Darren ran to his mother's room and put in the code, only to be severely disappointed. The room was completely empty. Nothing was there. She had taken everything, even the bed. It was nothing at all.

"Geez, I can't believe it!" He yelled to himself as he walked back to the living room.

He plopped down on the couch, his parents being right were he had left them, and fell fast asleep. Cleaning his father's room had really taken it out of him. He had dreams of tofu and literal internet pirates. Those were too strange to go over right now.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The boy was awoken by his father's frantic scream.

"Oh my fuckin' god!!! Raven help!! Someone cleaned my room!!"

"Gee, call the navy." Darren replied, sitting up groggily. "Didn't know his room was beyond cleaning."

"You don't know the half of it." His mother answered, getting up from the floor.

"Yes I do, I'm the one who cleaned it." He said, helping her up.

Suddenly Beast Boy came running in. He ran over to Darren and shook his entire body by the shoulders, like he was trying to make him think right. Something in his face looked shocked, it was his eyes.

"How could someone related to me be such a neat freak?" He yelled at the ceiling, putting Darren back down. "It isn't possible!"

"So, Cy," Raven said, trying to change the conversation, "You want me to call Robin and Star, they could come over and get you caught up."

"Ya ya!" Darren yelled, running over to her, "Invite them over!"

"What's he so excited about?" Cyborg asked as Beast Boy showed Darren around the rest of the tower.

"I think," She answered, picking up the phone, "That he has a little crush on Star's daughter."

"What!" Cyborg yelled, "I thought you said they weren't married!"

"Well, they couldn't wait," she said with a laugh, "They were planning on getting married when Robin gave up on being Nightwing, until then, they would be a family anyway. Now Robin gave up on Nightwing, and they're planning on getting married."

"How old is she?" Cyborg asked, calming down.

"She's about 14, a little younger than Darren. They've known each other since they were born, we hang out with Star and Robin so much."

"So, are you going to call them?"

"I already did."

"What?"

"Telepathy."

"Oh."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The doorbell rang a few moments later, as Robin, Starfire, and a black-haired girl came into the tower. The girl had long, blackish-reddish hair that went down to her upper back. She had a very strong look on her face, which seemed to be full of confidence. She looked like she was brave and sure, and she hadn't even said a word. It seemed to radiate off of her, 'nobody mess with me'.

"Cyborg, how have you been?" Robin said, shaking Cyborg's hand while Starfire gave him a crushing hug.

"Well, I was doing okay until Star started hugging me." He said, making fake choking sounds.

The adults sat down on the couch laughing, leaving the girl standing awkwardly. Darren would take care of that.

"Hey, Connie, c'mere, you gotta see the roof of this place!" Darren said, pulling her away from the adults and disappearing down the hallway.

"She didn't even introduce herself." Cyborg said with a laugh.

"Connie's kinda shy, but you couldn't guess by looking at her." Robin explained, gazing at the beer bottles littering the floor.

"It figures, you would call us after the party."

"Sorry. So, her name's Connie. Nice name." Cyborg said, picking up the bottles and throwing them away.

"Hey, you should recycle those!" BB yelled, taking the bottles out of the trash.

"Her name is actually Conneand'r, but we call her Connie for short," Starfire explained, "It is a Tameranean name."

"And, she's taken quite a liking to Darren." Robin added.

"Cuz our boy's a lady's man." Gar said proudly, putting his arm around Rae's shoulders.

"So, how come you didn't show up at BB and Rae's wedding?" Robin asked Cyborg.

"I didn't get the invitation until after the wedding," He said, motioning to the still unread pile of mail, "But I'll be sure to come to yours."

"You'd better, BB can't be my only best man."

"I see what you mean."

"Hey!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After a few minutes of walking down the long hallways, Darren and Connie reached the door to the roof. They both stood at the edge, gazing at the city below. The wind blew their hair around their young faces as they stood, in awe at the sight. The city was small and perfect beyond the bay. And they could hear the waves lapping up against the shore. Darren could smell the salty ocean water, it calmed him. Nature always calmed him.

"You were right, this is awesome!" Connie yelled to him over the sound of the waves.

"Yah, it's really cool!" he shouted back. "My mom used to come here all the time, to meditate and stuff!"

"It's kinda loud though!" She called, cupping her hands around her mouth.

"Then maybe we should save our voices, we don't have to talk!" Darren said loudly, sitting down so that his legs dangled over the edge of the roof. He hoped that she would come sit beside him, just a bit of romantic advice his dad had given him.

Connie came running over to him, taking a seat beside him and letting her legs fall over the rim of the roof. She looked thoughtfully down at the water, and then shivered slightly. Her T-Shirt and skirt weren't keeping her very warm.

'This couldn't get more perfect.' Darren thought as he leaned over to her. "Cold?"

"Yah, thanks." She said softly, leaning on his shoulder.

They sat like that for a few seconds, neither of them shivering against the bitter cold wind, and just looked over at the scenery. Darren was calm and cool, his plan finally having come together. But Connie was a bit nervous. She had always liked Darren, but was so shy and jumpy that she never really showed it. She and Darren had been friends since they were children, and she had no trouble talking to him, but romance was a whole other ballpark.

As they sat, and the sky began to turn a pink hue, a shining orb fell out of the sky. The earth shook as it made impact in the desert beside the city, creating a small explosion. The boats bobbed up and down in the harbor, then, all was silent.

"What was that?" Connie asked, staring at the sight of impact.

"Meteor?" Darren suggested, in awe at the sight.

"Meteors glow blue, that one glowed silver." Connie said, getting up and offering her hand to Darren. "C'mon, we gotta go tell our parents."

"Yah," He said, taking her hand and getting up, "That was just weird."

They both ran to the door and down the hall, not even knowing that they were still holding hands. Or rather, they didn't really care.

Yippee!! Some OC fluff for y'all!!

Yes, Star and Robin just couldn't wait. But, they didn't want to get married while Robin was running around in spandex by night. SO, they were considered a family anyway.

So, the plot is beginning to unfold. It will be strange, but it will be original and very cool. I also have an idea for Darren's powers. So, that'll be cool.

Jax: And, again, thank you for getting me out of the corner.

N/M Shin: Jax, would you like to do the honors?

Jax: Yes ma'am! Don't forget to review, until then, remember:

Read, review, repeat!
