Take Your Sweet Time Chapter 4: She's No You, a teen titans fanfic

Hey, it's me again. I've actually had this chap written for a while, but every time I teied to log on to post it the screen says "Wrong URL or Server overload". So it didn't get up. Sorry. Anyone know if that means the problem is with my computer or Anyway, this chapter is subtle in the fluff. The song is kinda what is going on underneath, while on the top they are still just really good friends. Enjoy.

The paper with her storyarrived soon. Starfire showed it excitedly to all her friends. Cyborg beamed and clapped her on the back. Beast Boy went wild and made a tofu cake to celebrate. Robin grinned and congratulated her. Raven dryly asked for an autograph.

They gotta a lot of girls
who know they got it going on.
But nothings ever a comparison to you
Now can't you see that you're
The only one I really want . . . .
And everything I need,
Is everything you do.

The story – accompanied by a plethora of photographs – was quickly taken up by all the popular magazines. Teen Vogue had an "Exclusive Interview with a Teenage Alien". Seventeen featured Starfire in lewd photos that she was too innocent to understand. Even Reader's Digest ran an article on her. Her friends laughed and teased her. She giggled and clung to the arm of a slightly uncomfortableRobin.

Any girl walk by, don't matter
'cause you're looking so much better
Don't ever need to get
caught up in jealousy
she could be a super model every magazine . .the cover
she'll never ever mean a thing to me . . .

The phone was ringing off the hook. After turning down the eighty-sixth individual who had offered to be Star's agent, Raven accidentally-on-purpose destroyed the annoying ringing apparatus. The Titans all looked over at her with an amused expression. She ignored them as she glowered andstalked to the roof. It was more than the persistance of pernicious press that was troubling her.

She's no you . . . oh no
You give me more that I could ever want
She's no you . . . oh no
I'm satisfied with the one I got
'cause you're all the girl
that I've ever dreamed about
She's only a picture on a magazine
She's no you . . . . oh no.

Robin carefully made a cup of hot chai teaand even more carefully walked up the stairwell with it. He expected her to bemeditating. Instead, she was sitting cross-legged on the floor, letting the cold wind billow her cape out dramatically as she concentrated fiercely on the grey horizon, the clouds piling darkly in the sky above her. Robin smirked. He had always suspected that Raven had a incline towards the melodramatic, but now he was certain. Her studied pose looked like a scene on the front of a gothic novel. "Fortune always smiles upon her," the dark girl said without turning to look at him, "She always gets what she wants."

They gotta a lot of girls
Who dance in all the videos
But I prefer the way you do,
The way you move
You're more than beautiful
And I just want to let you know
that all I ever need
Is what I got with you.

He shrugged, sitting down beside her and handing her the chai tea. "I wouldn't say always." He shot her a mischevious grin. She did not respond and they were silent for a moment before Robin cleared his throat andwent on. "I mean, her sister isn't exactly a precious bundle of goodwill."

"Hmmph." Raven glanced at him, then lifted the hot mug to her mouth before uttering one oof her dry sarcasm's. "And becoming an extremely popular Super Model Looking Super Heromight not be exactly a lucky break either." She sipped the drink.

"Well," Robin grinned teasingly, "at least she'll be a good role model. She lives a clean life, fights evil, and doesn't even have boyfriend."

Any girl walk by, don't matter
Every time you're looking better
I think your perfect
There ain't nothin' I would change
She could be a super model
Every magazine . . . . . the cover
She'll never ever take my heart away.

Raven stared at the ground. "Right." He shot a sharp glance at her and she grimaced. "You've heard the rumors. 'Is the attractive alien secretly dating Boy Wonder? Will theBatman have new Bird-in-Law?'" She raised an eyebrow at him.

Robin groaned tragicallyand flopped down on his back. "Right. I'm going to marry a pumpkin-colored alien at the age of sixteen. Never."

Raven studied him for a moment, thensmirked suddenly. "Oh gee, now I'll have send back thatnew dress I gotfor the wedding."

Robin groaned again and rolled over to hide his face on his arm. "Let's tell Star she can't do any more interviews, photo shoots,or any other rigmaroles. Ever again. And especially not with me."

"Sure. You're the leader." Raven stood up and floated over to the door. "Thanks for the tea, by the way. It was very . . um . . reasuring."

Robin sat up quickly. "Good! Was it . ..uhh. Ahem.No problem. Did you like it? It's anew kind of tea, I . .I kinda thought you might be interested in trying it. It looks like something you would . . uh. . drink."

Raven grinned at him over her shoulder as shefloated away.

"Pizza, mustard, anchovies, and the pudding of sickness." said Raven dryly, watching Star consume the food the waiter put before her. "This is aweful."

Robin raised an eyebrow at her mockingly. "It could be worse."

Raven stared at him. "How?"

A commotion at the front of the restaurant caught their attention. A gaggle of persons dressed in dark colors and holding cameras was pressing toward the Titans table. "

"That's how!" Robin muttered, grabbing Ravens hand tugging her to her feet. "Titans GO!"

Finally! So wazup guys? How have you amused yourselves during my . . . ummm . . . . delay? Been all good little boys and girls, I hope? Yeah. So, on with the review responses.

Blaze83: Hey! How's it going? I love your reviews. Well, here is your update. Took me long enough. But I have been very stressed. I finally have time to write this because I broke a bone in my foot at work and have to stay home. How fun. I tripped over a garden hose. Yes, I am a blonde. And yes, these are all Jess Whatshisface.

Snipe-Master-Hex: Great to hear from you! Glad you liked it. Why stick to conventional colors? How 'bout cream on violet? Or pale blue on hunter green? (My two favorite colors.) Anyway, than you for putting me on your favorites!

Lalala: I'm so glad you read it all the way through! And that you are gracious enough to like it! Especially as I indulged in a little Starfire bashing. Thank you!

DarkSpades: Glad you like! Yeah, I think I'll do about two more chapters with Jesse McCartney then conclude the story. And it's odd that I like his songs, because I really don't like Aaron Carter, but there's no accounting for taste.

Allie: Glad you like the burnt salad. I am rather fond of that part. And I'm glad you think them cute; my sister hates them!

Note: Since none of you seem to like Jesse McCartney, I might write a sequel with whatever songs you chose. You might just have to e-mail the lyrics to me because chances are I won't know what song you are talking about. I promise to write a piece for every song whose lyrics are typed up and sent to me. And if I get thirty reviews I will definitely write that sequel. So review!
