Author's Notes: Here is the much anticipated, new chapter! I appreciate the opinions and found them most useful. It seems that everyone wants pretty much the same thing: Amie to be in Raven's room and they end up together. Well, I think (more like hope) that you will like what happens, except Robin fans with despise me. I'm sorry; my story is coming out biased. I just hate that guy. As for the lemon… I couldn't bring myself to write a full blown one; it would have sucked. I can't even picture it. So, I've written more of a Lime and half of them is yuri (oops, I've said too much) so don't read if you don't like. Maybe later, in the relationships to be made, I might write a good Lemon, but not yet and no promises. Also, in this chapter, bold is a dream, not a flashback. I hope that doesn't confuse anyone. As for the two different titles, I couldn't choose between the two, so the actual title is the first one and the second one was a late addition that I liked. Lastly, but not leastly (I know! Not a word.), I would like to give 'props' (always wanted to say that but never had a chance to) to my little sister, lets call her Helga (she told me to call her that, her real name is too unique) for the two genius ideas used in my story; one in this chapter and the other will be revealed later. Read, Review, Enjoy!

Chapter 9:

A Promise Of Protection
(a.k.a. Anything And Everything)

Raven slipped into her room late at night after her weary battles and lit a few candles to see in the darkness, which consumed her belongings. With her body and mind drained from the day's activities, she just wanted to collapse on her bed and fall asleep. Can't sleep yet. Have to brush my teeth first. She grumbled at her own conscience and dragged herself into her small bathroom. She turned on the tap, allowing the water to warm up while she applied the green, cleaning goo to her toothbrush. She ran the covered bristles quickly under the flowing water and began to polish her teeth, pushing and pulling the blue toothbrush in every direction within her mouth. She continued to repeat this action for several minutes, her mind wandering and distracting her from halting her dental duty. I wonder if Amie's okay? Starfire said she was sick. I hope it's not because of how I was behaving earlier. I'll have to explain myself to her later. She won't drop the issue like the rest of the team does. Wait… did I say 'the rest of the team'? She's not part of the team. I must be getting too used to her presence. I wonder when she'll be leaving. I almost hate to admit that I hope it won't be anytime soon.

Robin stepped into his room and shut the door behind him. It had been pretty busy the last couple of days and yet the enthused crime fighter felt he hadn't accomplished anything. Argh! We're no closer to helping Amie catch this guy. Why isn't he making his move? Maybe he got tired of her and doesn't care enough to take her back. But no… I know these types. They're very possessive, even of things they don't like. He would try anything to get her back in his clutches. There must be something else. Something Amie isn't telling me. But what?

He was now stripped of his uniform, standing in his boxers, which were covered with designs of himself in different fighting poses. They were his favourite pair of underwear and they were the kind that children or obsessive fans would buy but he wanted a pair himself. They made him feel confident to be so important to have his name scrawled all over an item of clothing and he wore his pair as often as he could.

He stood in the darkness, not caring to turn on the lights, with only his 'pajamas' and mask on. He didn't trust anyone and so he never dared to take off his mask, even for sleeping. His figure was somewhat slender but muscular and well toned after all the years of training he endured.

He lifted the sheets slightly of his bed, and after his eyes had finally adjusted to the darkness, he spotted the sleeping beauty intruding in his bed. Amie? What is she doing here? She must have… she must have wanted to see me. Yeah, that's it. She couldn't resist my devilish looks and boyish charm. He slid under the red, cotton sheets and inched closer to the calm figure. Amie didn't awake from her peaceful slumber as Robin crept closer, moving swiftly once he noticed what she wasn't wearing. Oh wow. She has beautiful boobs. Half the job is already done for me. He grinned and brushed her cheek with the back of his bare hand. She sighed blissfully and a small smile snuck upon her face.

"Amie? Wake up. I'm here now. You can wake up." Robin pleaded, his voice reigning with impatience.

Her smile vanished quickly, replaced by a confused frown. "Robin?" she asked, unsure she was awake and not experiencing a strange dream. "What are you doing in my room?"

The Boy Wonder chose to ignore the last question and held her cheek in the palm of his hand. "Yeah, it's me." He leaned in to steal a kiss from her just as she forced her tired eyes to open slightly. He kissed her deeply, trying to force his wily tongue into her mouth unsuccessfully. Amie's brain was still in a shutdown mode, not allowing her to fully register what was going on. Not hearing any protests so far, Robin felt it was safe to proceed and slipped his hand under the sheets, massaging one of her plump, ripe breasts.

"What are you doing?" she murmured, sleep still controlling her body and mind.

"Shhh," he silenced her, picking up his pace. "Everything's fine. I'll keep you safe. I'll protect you." He shifted himself over top of her, rolling her from her side to her back for better access of what he wanted, craved for. She started to open her eyes wider, taking in her surroundings and the present situation but before she had a chance, Robin had planted another slippery kiss onto her lips. This had woken her fully now and she tried to push the lad off of her body. Unfortunately, he was much stronger than her and pressed harder against her. Amie tried to protest but her complaints were muffled within his mouth. Finally, Robin broke free from their lip lock to take a breath while he continued to grope the girl's bare chest.

"What are you doing?" she hissed loudly, every word filling with more anger. "Get off of me."

Robin didn't listen. His body was acting on its own, his hormones taking control. Oh, I want her so badly. I have to have her. His actions became more forceful and he grinded his hips into hers, kissing down her neck. "Come on, Amie. You know you want to," he whispered in between his kisses.

Amie struggled to thrust him off of her crushed body and she screamed, her voice becoming desperate and fearful, "Get off of me!"

This time Robin obeyed, sitting up, still straddling her hips; he looked at her, his hidden eyes full of lust. He started to bend back down to carry on with his fantasy while Amie could see his face vanishing. Instead, what replaced the spiky-haired boy was her worst nightmare returning to haunt her, Sir. It was just his body's outline but she knew it was him and her heart seemed to stop, hovering in panic.

Robin maintained his slow descending speed towards his desire, not noticing the hand that was making its way up to the side of his face. Amie slapped him hard across the face and he stopped his lowering, holding a palm to his sore, red cheek. "Get off me, you sick bastard!" she screamed as loud as she could. "I hate you! Why can't you just leave me alone?"

Robin sat stunned for a while, unmoving. The realization of what he was doing hit him. "What? What am I doing?"

Amie thrashed her legs about, eventually releasing them from his weight, which was holding her down. She launched herself out of the bed and scurried to the door, tears forming in her eyes. Robin was still confused of what was going on as if he wasn't the one who was even there doing it. He threw his attention on the girl scrambling by and pleaded sorrowfully, "Wait! Amie, come back! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to… I'm sorry." It was no use. The frightened woman had already departed, leaving her loose clothes behind.

The distraught brunette raced down the long, dark corridors, heading towards the only place she truly felt safe in this wicked world. Tears were flowing freely now from her puffed eyes.

She knocked quickly on the door in front of her and buried her drenched face in the palms of her hands. "Oh, please open," she begged in between sobs. The door obliged to her command, sweeping open revealing a weary, confused face.

Raven stood in awe, her toothbrush protruding from her mouth and green foam encircling her pink lips. "Mmphr," she attempted to say the girl's name but all coherent speech was blocked in her throat by the blue, plastic rod.

Amie looked up at her friend's eyes, staring into them with a pleading gaze. Raven hadn't noticed Amie's lack of clothing due to the shadow falling upon her from the darkened hallway. In a sudden movement, Amie flung her arms around the taller girl's neck, squeezing tight against her body in a depressed hug.

"Mmphr, Grmph!" Raven tried to object with no success. Amie was silent, except for her cries, and she blubbered onto Raven's shoulder, wailing in distress. She probably had another nightmare again. Raven caved in and she wrapped her arms around the trembling figure. Her gentle hands felt the rough, warm flesh of Amie's back and she pushed the girl out of their embrace. Why is her back so… bumpy or rough? And how can I feel her flesh? She held Amie away at arms length, her hands resting on the slumped shoulders, as she inspecting her front up and down, ultimately regretting doing so. She's naked! Well, practically, at least. The sight caused her to swallow the fluids in her mouth, clearing the path for her words to flow again, and she removed the toothbrush clenched between her lips. "Amie, you're naked," she stated bluntly. "Or close enough anyways."

Amie's tears continued to pour and she lunged again for Raven's touch, reattaching herself to the dark sorceress. "Raven," she cried, sniffing back. "It's horrible. I'm sorry to disturb you but… but I just needed someone to talk to."

Raven held her arms out, feeling a little awkward to envelop them around the topless, crying girl again. "You know, Amie, Starfire is much better at the comforting thing than I am."

The weeping being pulled herself in closer against Raven's body, not wanting to ever let go and she sobbed, feeling somewhat crushed that Raven wanted to brush her off like that. "No," she bawled. "I can't go to her. She likes him too much… and it would crush her to know what he did. To know how he's a monster like that. And I feel safest with you. I know you can protect me. If you wanted to."

Raven felt touched by Amie's last comment but then something she said hit her. "Starfire like him? Likes who? The only person she likes is Rob…" She started to fill with rage and she yanked Amie off of her once again, looking deep within the silver, watery eyes. "Amie, what happened? What did Robin do?" Her words grew in volume but preserving her seriousness.

Oh no. What have I done? Now she'll be angry with him. Why do I keep causing trouble? I don't want anyone mad on my behalf. I don't want anyone to fight. She stopped her tears and wiped the evidence from her face. "Nothing," she replied weakly, her voice wavering. "Never mind. Just forget about it. Really, it's nothing." She felt as though she was trying to convince herself more then the questioning gaze in front of her. She buried down her feelings, her desperate need to cry some more, as she was used to putting on a fake, happy face all the time.

Raven wasn't so easy to convince. "Did he hurt you?" Amie looked into Raven's purple eyes. They were overflowing with a pleading want and concern and Amie had to shift her gaze away from the worried stare.

"No," she lied, making sure she kept her readable eyes away from the heroine's sight. Raven knew this was a lie, she knew before Amie had even opened her mouth to say it, but she didn't bother to pressure her into saying anything she wasn't ready for yet. She'll find out eventually, in some way or another.

"Alright, but if you want to talk about it, I'm here." Amie smiled thankfully, her eyes nearly dry now, and they searched around the room uneasily. Raven noticed Amie's body was shaking, either from the disturbing experience or from actually being cold or both, she didn't fully know. The purple-haired girl reached for the red and black clasp of her cloak near her collarbone, to remove the cape and wrap it around the shivering brunette, forgetting she wasn't wearing it. After grasping at nothing, she looked down at her ensemble and sighed. "Ugh, Lust and her new fashion design for me," she whispered, annoyed.

Amie refocused her attention on her comforter. "What?" she asked, just catching a bit of Raven's silent whisper.

"Oh, yeah, well…" I suppose I should explain myself about earlier. "Listen, about earlier… in the kitchen… I wasn't really myself." That's not entirely true. You were just a part of yourself. "I'm sorry if my behaviour caused you any… uneasiness. Especially after we had…" she choked back the word, and wiped a thin, pale hand over her face.

"That's alright," Amie replied, her voice showing her obvious disappointment at the almost mentioning of their kiss. Still disgusted by me? She hung her head low and played with her fingers, twisting them over each other. "Why weren't you yourself exactly?" she asked, hoping the question was not too daring.

Raven shrugged and walked over to her dresser, removing books from their piles one at a time. "Take a seat," she ordered over her shoulder. I think I can trust her. Besides, Cyborg and Beast Boy already know from their little tour and if they can be trusted, anyone can. Amie sat down on the bed and her heart sank as she realized where Raven was digging around. She swallowed down the lump that formed in her throat and waited, with her eyes shut tight, for the yelling to commence once Raven would discover her broken mirror. But after a few moments of silence, she reopened them to find the dark mistress sitting on the bed beside her, just to her right. Raven took the cloak she snatched on her way past her closet and placed it carefully over Amie's bare shoulders. She grasped it happily and pulled it closed to hide her naked chest.

"This," Raven started to explain, holding up a silver hand mirror for the other girl to see into, "is a special mirror that I use for meditation purposes." Amie studied the glass before her, shocked to find no cracks or fractures, but merely just her own reflection. The glass… its… But how can that be? I didn't get a chance to fix it yet. Amie started up her breathing again; releasing the wind she was holding in while she was waiting in fear. Raven pulled the mirror away, after she was sure Amie had gotten a good look at it, and placed it at her side, face down. "It's a gateway into my mind. And in there, my emotions run free as their own persona." She freed her glare off the mirror and glanced over at Amie, making sure she was following along. Amie nodded her understanding and Raven pressed on, "Today there was a slight problem. Somehow a portal had formed in my mind, allowing access for my emotions to gain control over my exterior self. Well, in the kitchen, you happened to meet Lust. I apologize for her actions. She can be a handful to manage."

Amie furrowed her brow at Raven's story. "I thought something was wrong but I didn't know what. I mean you really spooked me when you pressed up close to me. I thought you were going to kiss…" She stopped herself from finishing the thought. "But now… now I know that what happened was my fault." Her crying commenced again and she covered her shame and face with her hands.

"You're fault?" Raven questioned, confused by her statement and weeping again. She put a consoling hand on Amie's shoulder and lifted her chin up to peer into her eyes.

"Yes, my fault. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to but… I wanted to talk to you and I knocked and then the door just opened and so I came in thinking you didn't hear me but then I found out you were in the shower so I turned to leave but I saw your mirror and I was curious so I picked it up and then when I put it back down it sort of cracked. I didn't mean to! It was an accident and I was going to fix it as soon as I had a chance. I didn't know it was special like that. I thought it was just an ordinary mirror and… and now you hate me even more than before, don't you?" Amie rambled off in long sentences, talking quickly until her lone breath wore out and she had to stop to inhale again. She kept her vision on her hands and she rubbed them nervously. She hates me now. Well, no. She hated me earlier, now she probably despises me. I'll get kicked out of the tower. First Robin will be mad that I ran away from him and now she'll… She looked up, bracing herself to meet an infuriated expression but instead found a heartwarming smile plastered across Raven's face.

Raven leaned in closer and hugged the sobbing girl tightly and encouragingly "It's okay, Amie. I understand; it was an accident. Thank you for telling me the truth. I appreciate it. And I don't hate you. I never did. What gave you such a foolish idea?"

Amie wiped the tears from her eyes and hugged Raven back. "Really?" she asked in disbelief. "I don't know. I guess I just thought you did since you were acting all weird to me after we… you know… kissed by accident. I could tell you were disgusted by me. Everyone usually is."

Raven ended their lingering embrace and studied the brunette. "Disgusting? No, I don't find you disgusting. It was just that you threw me off guard and I wasn't expecting it. I've never really kissed a guy before, let alone another girl so I didn't know how to react. But I'm certainly not disgusted by it."

"It?" Amie inquired, curiously.

What? I said 'it'? Oops. Damn it, I meant 'her' but not like that way… right? "I meant you. I'm not disgusted by you," Raven quickly tried to correct herself.

"Oh, okay." Amie sighed in relief that the air was now a little clearer between the two of them. "Raven?" she said, hoping she could get something off her mind.

"Yeah?" Raven replied, her tone warmer than her usual emotionless one.

"How do you do it?" She sat crossed legged, her body now fully facing Raven's.

"Do what?" Raven mimicked the shorter woman's actions and sat in a similar pose, the same way she sits in when she meditates.

"How do you keep such control over you emotions? I lose mine so easily. I wish I had the same power that you do."

Raven smirked slightly and uttered her simply response, "I have to control my emotions. My powers are driven by them and if they get out of hand… well let's just say no one will be around to see that happen. But trust me, you don't want to have to force your emotions to the side. It isn't easy. It can be very lonely. A lot of people think I come off as cold hearted."

Amie was stunned by this idea. "Cold hearted? How could they? I never thought that when I met you. I know you're a kind, caring, wonderful person. But see? Look at me. I'm bawling left and right."

"It's okay to be sad and show it. It means you're human. You've had a rough life and you deserve to shed a lot of tears." Raven took her into another soothing hug, rubbing her back to calm her down and comfort her.

Amie returned the gesture and rested her head on the heroine's shoulder. "Raven, can you promise me something?" she asked, whispering in the young woman's small ear.

"Yeah, what is it?" she whispered back.

"Promise me you'll protect me."

"Protect you from what?"

"From anything and everything."

I can't promise that. Anything could happen and if I'm not there… But she needs to feel safe. She deserves to. Sigh. If it will make her happy. "I promise. Now how about you run off to your own bed now, so we can both get some sleep?" she offered.

Amie stroked the smooth material of Raven's cloak enfolded around her body and timidly begged, "Is it alright if I stay here? I don't want to be alone… tonight." Please don't make me leave you. I need to be with you, under your care and protection.

Raven caught a glance of Amie's sad puppy dog eyes and melted. Damn those eyes. Who can possibly resist them? Am I going soft? "Fine," she muttered, trying to show that she was regretting this but secretly glad the silver-eyed girl wanted to stay with her. That's weird. Why do I want her stay with me? Why am I glad she begged to sleep here? I'll have to mediate on that later… or now. Amie beamed an overjoyed smile as she resisted the urge to hug her comrade for another time that night. "You can sleep in my bed. I probably wasn't going to get any sleep anyways, so I'm just going to meditate quietly, okay?"

"But won't you need to sleep?" Amie urged, hopeful that she would have a bedtime companion to keep her company.

"No, I'll be fine. I rarely sleep anyways. You go ahead though. I'll watch over you. I promise." Raven picked herself up off the bed and stood, waiting for Amie to acknowledge what she said.

I guess she's right. Maybe she just feels uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed as me. I almost forgot I'm not wearing anything. That's the reason and that's fine. "Okay. And Raven?" she regained the sorceress's attention, wanting to add something important before she would fall asleep.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, Amie." As Amie adjusted herself within the bed, shedding the blue cloak once she was fully under the covers, Raven slipped into the washroom, changing into her own nighttime apparel of a simple black top and shorts.

Upon exiting her little change room, Raven tossed her torn outfit into the small trashcan and found a clear spot on the ground to begin her meditations. I hopefully won't need that outfit ever again. She sat with her legs crossed over one another, her hands resting peacefully, palms up, on her knees, and she closed her eyes, breathing in and out slowly and calmly. She began her meditation practices hoping to restore her used energy that way.

Robin was in a foul mood that morning, as he stormed around the main room, grinding his teeth. He was waiting for Amie to wake up and join him in the large room. He needed to talk to her, to explain himself and about the previous night. Why hasn't she woken up yet? Maybe I should go knock on her door… No, she might scream at me and lock me out. I need to confront her in an open space. He paced back and forth as the green changeling watched him from the safety of the couch.

"Dude," Beast Boy berated, "you're gonna burn a hole in the carpet! Stop walking around in circles like that! You're making me dizzy."

Robin halted his movement for a moment, removing his hand from its thoughtful place on his chin, and he glanced towards the scolding voice. He opened his mouth up to say something but no words came out and he continued his frantic scurrying about. Come on, Amie. I need to talk to you.

CRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRC

Raven peeled her eyes open slightly to a dim room, a streak of light pouring through the partially opened curtains. She groaned in frustration and closed her eyelids again loosely, trying to remember when she had slipped into bed and fallen asleep. I remember meditating and I guess I must have been too tired to continue and climbed into bed. But why did I not want to sleep in my bed in the first place? This feels so wonderful. It's all warm and cozy. How could I possibly not want to sleep in my bed last night?

As Raven searched her mind for a fragmented memory, which was temporary lost, a small coo near her answered her questions. She reopened her eyes reluctantly and tilted her head down as much as she could, something preventing her from sitting up to get a better view. Raven discovered the petit brunette sprawled across her body. Amie had her head resting upon Raven's chest, listening intently to her soothing heartbeat, and she cupped the pinned girl's right breast with her small left palm.

Oh great. This can't end well. But it feels so good and right. Wait. What? No. No, I didn't mean that. Did I? No, of course I didn't. My mind must still be a little messed up from before. Maybe I should wake her up. "Amie?" her voice cracked with a tinge of desperation to get the girl up and off of her from their provocative position.

She didn't receive a response for several seconds and she started to give up hope that the figure would wake up. Her disappointment ended shortly when her ears were filled by a soft, dreamy whisper, "Oh, Raven."

"Yeah?" she echoed back, relaxing a little now that she heard Amie's voice.

"Don't stop what you're doing," the whisper insisted.

Don't stop what I'm doing? What is she talking about? I'm not doing anything. Unless… Of course! She's dreaming! I forgot that she talks in her sleep. But if she's dreaming… what the hell is she dreaming about? Do I even want to know?

CRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRCRC

Amie sat still on the bed, staring patiently up her guardian angel with her silver, loving eyes. For some reason, she didn't know why, nor did she care, she was completely naked in front of Raven, even her green boy cut panties gone now. Raven didn't seem to mind either and there was no sign of any embarrassment or awkwardness because of it. She felt natural and free, liberated despite the fact that she was enclosed in the bedroom. She kept her eyes fixed onto the purple orbs and felt the compassion pouring out of them and covering her absolutely.

"Raven," she whispered shyly, "I don't know how to explain this but I just have this weird feeling when I'm around you, you know? It's hard to describe. My stomach kind of flutters and I feel like I'm going to be sick but I enjoy it. Sounds silly, doesn't it?" As she spoke, she could hear a loud thumping, as if from a heart beating, close to her ears.

Raven leaned in close to Amie and put a caring hand to her cheek. "I know exactly what you mean. I feel it too."

"You do?" Amie gulped out, feeling a little nervous now that Raven was so much closer to her face.

Raven nodded and pressed her lips softly against the brunette's pair, holding her head steady from moving around. At first Amie wasn't expecting such an action from the dark sorceress, it seemed too sudden of a feat for something she would do, but she decided to ignore her mind's thoughts and kissed her back passionately. Oh, her kisses are like little drops of heaven. I want more. They're not as hard and frozen like Sir's, or clumsy and slimy like Robin's. They're perfectly soft and gentle. They're tongues slipped into each other's mouths and danced around within the small space, brushing up against anything and everything. Raven slowly lowered Amie backwards, laying her flat on her back on the messy bed.

After several moments of absolute bliss, they separated, taking in deep breaths that their lungs were aching for. "Oh, Raven," Amie cooed, smiling delightfully.

Somehow Raven's tattered clothes melted away, leaving her leaning over the young woman in only her black, satin panties and matching bra. Her purple hair fell over her face as she lowered her head to Amie's neck. She kissed and licked and nibbled all over the skin from her ear lobe to her collarbone and back up the other side.

"Don't stop what you're doing," she ordered in quiet, joyful sigh. She could hear the heart beating pick up in its pace slightly, growing louder as Raven moved along her body. Is that my heartbeat? It must be. But maybe I should ask if Raven can hear it. "Raven?"

Raven stopped her sucking of Amie's left ear lobe and raised her head to gaze into the magnificently beautiful, silver eyes, flinging her hair back as she did. She grinned devilishly and replied, her tone thicker than usual, "Yes?"

"What's that noise? That thumping sound? It sounds like a heartbeat. Can you hear it?" Raven was sitting on top of her hips and for the first time in her life, she didn't mind the extra weight there. It was calming.

Raven returned her head besides Amie's and chided in her ear, "That's the sound of my heart beating its undying love for you." She wiggled her slick tongue into the ear surrounded by brown strands and ran a hand through her hair. Amie giggled from the sensation; it tickled but pleased her greatly. Upon hearing her cue, Raven removed herself from that section of Amie's body and went a little lower, tracing a slow finger across and in between the milky breasts.

Amie moaned her desire, never feeling this way ever before when someone touched her there. "Raven, I…" she stammered, trying to get the words out. "I don't think I can… I can't ever enjoy this kind of stuff again. My mind is too traumatized from all the times before. I don't want to be hurt but more importantly, I don't want to hurt you."

Raven was messaging Amie's chest delicately with her smooth, pale hands and didn't halt her movements at Amie's protests. "It's okay, Amie," she comforted, her voice light and caring. "I won't hurt you and you won't hurt me. I'll stop if you really want me to but this is different than those other times. This time you have a choice and it's with someone who loves you."

Amie's heart melted at the thought and she smiled brightly. She's right. This is different. I want this. "You're right. Thank you so much, Raven. I love you too."

Oblivious to the two occupied girls moving on the bed, a shadowed figure of a man stood in a dark corner of the room, watching with a huge, evil grin streaked across his masked face. Oh, Silver Tigress, you are good. Better than I could have ever hoped for.

Ending Author's Note: Yes, yes, a lot of you are probably pissed that I didn't make Amie and Raven do anything in actual, real life yet. And I didn't have much of a lemon/lime. I apologize for that but I stand behind my decision for nothing to YET happen. I need to build to it, I can't just lunge Raven onto her; it needs to be set up perfectly. Plus it was getting kind of long. But have no fear, 'something' will definitely happen next chapter. Just be patient with me and you'll be much happier with the results.

Although I do this individually, I would also like to thank everyone for reading, reviewing and sending me their opinions for me. Much appreciated! And it seems that I receive more reviews when I have a little assignment for you people. Well, I have no things that I need your input on so… how about I just have a little 'contest'. The question will be: What is my favourite colour? There is a subtle hint of it in the story so try and find it (not as obvious as Amie's eye colour). Tell me in your review, and please don't be shy to review (I live for them) and who ever gets it right (even if it's more than one person) will get… hmm… I can't give you my undying love, I sent it away to someone and got it returned, unopened and broken, so I haven't fixed it yet. I know! A good shout out at the beginning of next chapter AND in my profile! That could be fun… right? Well, it's the best I can do.

DBZmotoko: E.J.! What an awesome name! Er… well, initials! Thank you for the compliments and the opinions. Sorry for making you wait. Adios to you too!
