Dreaming Of Love
Chapter 2
WK25(WildKat25) here! Sorry I'm late but as mentioned in the author's note I've been really busy. And hopefully this will make up for it. And the stupid site wouldn't allow me to log in so it's also fault I couldn't post it on Monday or Tuesday! I can't believe that people actually like my story, I thought it was a little lame at one point but I will continue to write in the name of CANADA! GO CANADA! Sorry, I just watched the Teen Titans episode of July 4th, and just to say it anyways, CANADA won the war of 1812, not the USA. Anyways, who the heck is Turin-the-Forsaken? Is he/she a member of deviant-art or another art related website? Send me a link to their art work if you can, because if their art is anything close to my thoughts on the titans older version costumes that would be totally awesome! And don't worry I won't smack you, possibly maim you, but never smack you. Just Kidding. And if I copy anything from anywhere PLEASE TELL ME! Because I feign total innocence of any knowledge, and if I have I will totally give credit to the person who thought of it, provided that there is proof to such claims. Contrary to popular belief I believe that there are authors out there that have a sense of honour when they write, draw, etc and I'm one of them along with my couzin and some other authors that I know of. Also I'm honoured that quite-a-shame has reviewed my work because I've been a fan of your work for quite some time, I just don't review very often. My bad. I'm also interested in your future work so please do continue. I'd like to thank all who reviewed, it makes a author feel good about themselves so I will do my best in continuing this story. On to the story!

Chapter 2 - Part 1
Flashback, Movie, planetarium and car show
Beast Boy had just bolted out of the kitchen and was now currently in his room thinking of who, you guessed it, Raven. 'Dude….I'm going to the movies with Raven! Go Beast Boy! Go Beast Boy!' inwardly cheered Beast Boy, as he pulled off a couple of moves. 'Wait a minute. That means I have I chance of actually confessing my feelings to her with out the others around, but the question is how to do it. Hmmm… I could confess…well how about…no that won't work…maybe I should…naw…hmm," thought B.B. as he paced his room, which was actually clean contrary to the belief of his fellow Titans.
"Man who thought that just thinking about confessing to someone could be so hard?" sighed Gar as he flopped on his forest green bed. "Man this is harder than when I had to ask Terra on that semi-date." 'But, she's better than Terra could ever be, more beautiful, more smarter, more powerful, more wise, more…perfect. That's the only word I could ever think of that fully describes Raven to me. Perfect Darkness. The Ice Demoness, Dark Angel, Night Goddess, Shadowed One, Midnight Star, were so many names that could be associated to her but that one name always stuck in my mind was, Perfect Darkness.' Smiling at the thought of Raven he continued to picture her in his mind. Sure she was quite the solitary one, but that never bothered him. His feelings for her were always mixed, but as he got older they slowly became clearer to him. At first he thought that liking, let alone loving Raven could never be possible, but heart-to-hearts with the half-demon on the roof or on missions allowed such feelings to grow and settle. They never quite saw eye-to-eye until one mission against Mad Mod when they were 16.
:FlashBack: In an old warehouse(lame I know, but where else is it going to happen?)
Titans burst into the warehouse only to be met with complete darkness in all four corners of it.
"Uhh…dude wasn't there suppose to be a bad guy here?" asked a perplexed Beast Boy.
"No, we just like to follow random beeping noises in our communicators," stated a ticked Raven.
"Hey I already said I was sorry, what else do you want me to do, go on my knees and beg?" said a slightly exasperated Beast Boy.
"It would be a start."
"Enough! You two can finish fighting-(Door behind them slams shut leaving them all in total darkness)" started Robin. His footsteps could be heard as he walked around in the darkness. Feeling a wall he knocked on it to hear that these weren't normal plaster walls, but thick glass. "What the heck? Why glass?"
"Nothing you need to worry your heads 'bout my little Duckies! Come to see Moddy have ya! Well old Moddy's got a little surprise for ya this time!" said the walls as they lit up to have Mad Mod's face in them, all six of them (floor and ceiling included). The walls then started to swirl into the infamous black and white swirly thing(:sweatdrop: What are those things called anyways?) "Now its time to say nighty-night Teen Titans! AHAHAHA!"
"Ahaaa! Everyone close your eyes, don't look the…uhhhh….(drools)," Blacks Out.
In the Black Abyss of his own mind
"Dude…Where am I?Last thing I remember was…black and white…aww man!" Thought B.B. as found himself looking into nothing. Hearing faint voices and sounds in the distance, he concentrated on them to try and figure out where he was.
'…You lot are being very bad. I guess I'll just have to teach ya all a lesson again…' (Mad Mod)
'…Raven stay and guard Beast Boy…' (Robin)
"Robin are you insane! Raven would rather let me die than stay and guard me!" Feels cold hands and warm arms in-circle and carry his limp body. "Maybe not."
'…Got the sonic ready, if you got the boom…' (Cyborg)
'…Titans Go!…' (Robin)
:Sounds of lots of explosions:
"Oh yeah that's right! Kick some major bad butt guys!"
'…TITANS RUNA-…' (Robin)
:Sounds of a building collapsing:
"What happened! Where is everyone? Where am I?"
'…Great, just what I needed. Drool on my uniform…' (Raven)
"Phew…at least Raven's with me."
'…Friends where are you? Call out so that I may locate and help you out of the plaster and brick…' (Starfire)
'…are trapped in this rubble until you get Robin and Cyborg to 'Sonic Boom' this place…' (Raven)
'….Okay, I'll go find Friends Robin and Cyborg, try to wake up Beast Boy Okay?..' (Starfire)
"Raven, wake me up? Ha! Let's see…er…hear what she does to wake me up."
'…:sigh: Me, wake up Garfield? Great. Well that's not going to happen so…I might as well try out some new insults and see which ones he reacts to the most…' (Raven)
Wakes up in a dark air bubble under rubble
"Insults! Ha! I laugh in the face of…wait a minute…laugh in the face of the face that's laughing at me? Hmmm…" replied a groggy Beast Boy as he then started to rub his chin in deep thought.
"So your awake…great that ruins my chance of peaceful meditation," grumbled Raven as she walked over to inspect Beast Boy. Seeing no injuries on him from under her hood, she then walked to the other side of small room they were trapped in and sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Hey, Raven what happened while I was out?" asked Beast Boy as he looked around the small room.
"The building collapsed on us after Robin, Starfire and Cyborg combined their attacks to wipe out Moddy's robot army," calmly stated Raven as her violet eyes stared out from under her hood.
"But why don't you just blast us out of here with your magic?" questioned B.B. as he stretched out his arms and legs.
"I can't. If I was able to don't you think I would've already gotten us out of here? Besides if you look on the walls you can see why I can't you numbskull." gritted Raven through clenched teeth. Getting up he inspected a wall to see glass fragments in it.
"Sooo we can't get out because of little pieces of glass?"
"Oh yes Beast Boy we can't get out of here because I'm afraid of little pieces of glass," sarcastically stated Raven as she rolled her eyes.
"Geez, no need to jump all over me because I ask a question."
"…:Glare from under her hood:…"
"What?...Fine I'm sorry, that I once again burst into your room without your permission. How was I suppose to know you had just gotten out of the shower? Geez, you had a towel on its not like I saw anything."
"The reason that I had a towel on is the only reason that your eyes are still in your head."
"Why do you always have to be so catty? Can't you just forgive and forget?"
"Well why do you always have to disregard everyone's right to have some privacy? Or at least knock before entering? You're so immature!"
The two then glared at each other for two minutes straight before turning their heads away with a 'humph.' Silence soon blanketed over the two teens as Beast Boy was left to his own thoughts. 'What a jerk! It's not like I intended on walking in on her. I just wanted to tell her that I beat Cyborg's high score in Wacky Animal Wheels. And I did knock before I en- Wait a minute. Did I knock? Crap, I'm such an idiot! If I had knocked I would've avoided the whole mess. (Thinks back to past memories bursting into Starfire's room without knocking) That one actually hurt me more than Star. (Running into Robin's room without knocking) I don't think Robin really meant to drop that cube of sodium into his glass of water. (Bolting into Cyborg's room without knocking) Maybe I should've changed back into my human form before running in there. Man, Raven was right! I don't respect everyone's right for privacy. Now I feel horrible,' thought Beast Boy as he let out a guilty dog whine.
"…Raven are you awake?" asked Beast Boy as looked over to her to see her eyes closed and head bowed.
"Unfortunately"
"…Raven your right, I don't respect your guys' privacy and I'm sorry. I guess I just get too excited about things, I really am immature. But I promise to at least knock before entering. (Turns into a cute green kitten) Can you ever forgive me? (Walks over to her and starts rubbing his head against her knee while purring)"
"Fine…just stop that!" growled Raven half-heartedly as she gentle pushed the green kitten away from herself. The kitten transformed back into the grinning shape-shifter.
"So, friends again? (Holds out his hand)"
"We never were not friends. (Accepted his hand with her own)"
:End of Flashback:
'And then Star came back with Robin and Cy and they sonic boomed the place. Probably would've been best if they actually told us to take cover before they blew it up but oh well,' thought Beast Boy as he glanced at his clock which displayed 10:15AM.
"Alright now, so what am I going to wear today…Hmm hn hm hm hn…" The Titans had agreed a while back that they should wear normal clothes when going into the city for entertainment or relaxation. Robin and Raven were against the whole idea at first but they soon gave in…well Robin gave in. Starfire sorta forced Raven to agree by dragging her into the mall to shop for clothes.
"Lets see here…(Starts picking up and throwing random shirts in different directions) too blue…too yellow…too orange…too spotty…too Hawaiian…too hippy…too…I don't know but its too something…Aha! Found it! (threw the shirt on the bed and continued his quest for clothes)"
-elsewhere in Raven's room-
Raven was found in the large walk-in closet that all the female titans seemed to have for no apparent reason. Of course, compared to Starfire's closet this was almost completely empty. Silently running her hands down the aisle of shirts she picked three and enter back into her bedroom and placed it beside the other three pair of pants that were there.
"Green and purple…no…white and black…too simple…I guess it's red and black," mumbled Raven to herself as she then changed into the blood red V-collared shirt and Black jeans. Calmly looking herself over in the mirror she smoothed a couple wrinkles and left the room towards the living room. 'Well, here goes nothing.' Opening the door to the living room, she quickly realized B.B. wasn't there yet, so she decided to finish reading her book while waiting for Beast Boy. Calling upon her magic she enchanted the book from her room to float from her room to the living room, smacking a certain someone on the back of the head unintentionally.
5 minutes before-
"Dude you are lookin' real sharp standing right there," grinned B.B. as he did a couple poses in the mirror, which revealed him to be wearing a grey-green shirt saying "Cleverly Disguised As A Responsible Adult" in white writing and tan cargos. Of course his dog collar with a metal raven's claw was still on him along with a light-tan leather 2 inch bracelet with and black stripe going down the middle of it on his left wrist.
"Well I guess its show-time," smirked B.B. as he left his room and started towards the living, only to be smacked on the back of the head by a floating book also heading in the same direction.
"Well that's new," mumbled Beast Boy as he rubbed the back of his head, "Never knew books hated me so much." Walking into the living room he saw Raven reading the same book that nailed him on the back of the head in her hands.
"So was the book to the back of my head intentional or unintentional Rae?"
"What in the nine regions of hell are you talking about?" inquired Raven, as her eyes peeked from the top of the offending book.
"Oh nothing, so are we going to get going?" smiled Beast Boy as he thumbed towards the elevator. Raven briskly walked by him as she answered him by calling the elevator.
At the planetarium-
"Oh Dick, these 'Grams of Holo' are truly beautiful in this dark building! It feels as if I am once again flying through your universe of space!" gleefully admitted Starfire as she looked at a miniature hologram of the universe known to most man that was 30 by 30 by 20feet in length, width and height in a 40 foot by 40 foot and 30 foot tall in height room in the planetarium's main floor and reception area. As her English improved over the years she lost the use of the prefix 'friend' in front of all the titans names much to the success of Robin's teachings on the English language.
"Yes, they are quite beautiful aren't they," whispered Robin close to Starfire's ear as he stood not even a foot behind her. 'But not even half as gorgeous as you,' thought Robin as he watched her eyes glitter in fascination as the hologram slowly rotated showing all of the known galaxy by most in all directions. Admiring her choice in clothing for this outing he saw her wearing a white Italian wrinkled blouse and lilac purple skirt that reached to her knees, purple 1 inch high heels for shoes, and she kept her thin silver and purple headband that was adorned with emeralds on her head as it held her hair in place.
Noticing Robin's gaze on herself she smiled warmly back at him, a light blush forming of her cheeks. Robin blushed himself at being caught at staring at her for too long, giving her time to also admire his choice of dress. A black wife-beater clung to his chest and abs, dark blue jeans held by a black belt with a sterling silver belt buckle with his robin symbol imprinted on it, and a pair of dark blue and black nikes on his feet. He still was stubbornly wearing his mask which he refused to take off in public or even at home. She ideally wondered what colour of eyes he had as she took his arm and tugged lightly towards the other exhibits in the space building. Inspecting a list of known planets she was horrified to find no Tameran on the list.
"Dick, why is Tameran not on the list of planets known to man? Do they not know that my people or I exist?" asked Starfire curiously.
"It's because…ah this is kind of hard to explain…well the Justice League and our fellow titans know that your people and Tameran exist because of the advanced knowledge of space travel that we have access to, but most earth scientists haven't been able travel past Mars let alone Tameran. But as technology advances I'm sure Tameran will one day be added to the list," smiled Robin reassuringly. Seemly satisfied with his response she turned back to her explorations of the wall opposite of the one she was at, with Robin closely following after her. Seeing Starfire's face scrunch up in confusion, Robin looked over her shoulder to see pictures of the Greek gods and goddesses of legend and the planets named after them next to them.
"How can a planet be a god or goddess?" mumbled Starfire to herself, and was slightly surprised when Robin's spoke up.
"The planet is a symbol of the god or goddess. Meaning when the planet was discovered the astrologist who discovered them named them after the Greek Gods and Goddesses," whispered Robin as he smirked at the sight of Starfire shivering as his warm breath met her soft neck.
"So does this Goddess of Love and Beauty Venus really exist?" inquired Starfire as she turned her face to see the side of his.
"According to Batman she does," chuckled Robin as rested his chin on her shoulder, enjoying her presence.
"Hmmm…I suppose I would like to meet this Goddess of Love one day…" softly smiled Starfire. 'I have a list of questions I would like to ask this Venus.' Thought Starfire as she enjoyed the closeness of Robin to her body. Resisting the urge to take his arms and wrap them around her waist, she settled for softly petting Robin's jet black hair, soothing his spirit. Sighing, Robin lifted his head off her shoulder and her touch.
"Thanks for inviting me on this 'date' Dick," smiled Starfire up at the boy wonder as she turned around to face him.
"Thanks for coming. To be truthful I half expected you to say no Kori," blushed the dark-haired hero as he looked at the ground embarrassed.
"I'd never turn down the chance to be with you Robin. I mean…I truly enjoy time spent in your presence Dick," blushed Starfire at her first quick reply.
"Kori I wonder if um…that is I'd like for you to…for us to be…uh," stuttered a scarlet Robin with a hand scratching the back of his head.
"Yes, go on," urged a hopeful Starefire.
"I'd like to know if you…want to go see the constellations part of the exhibit now," ended Robin quickly.
"Oh…sure I guess we could go see them if you want to," smiled Starfire, semi-crest fallen,
"No, that's not what I meant to say…what I meant to say is would you do me the honour of being my girlfriend Kori?" asked a semi-distraught Robin, mask-hidden eyes pleading. Watching her reactions, he saw an excited smile cross her face as she launched herself into his arms, embracing him tightly.
"You don't know how long I've waited for you to say that Robin. Of course I'll be your girlfriend!" exclaimed an excited Starfire as she nuzzled her head into his neck, earning in return a closer embrace from Robin. After two minutes they suddenly became very aware of their surroundings as a small crowd of grade 2's on a field trip had encircled the heart-warming moment between the couple and were closely paying attention to the couples' reactions to each other.
"Oh aren't you all just so adorable," giggled Starfire as she pulled from Robin's embrace and crouched down so they were eyelevel with her, as she looked into their innocent eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah we're cute and adorable we already know this, now are you too going to hurry up and kiss or do I have to start crying," threatened a brass boy, as he crossed his arms in defiance and pouted his lower lip threatening to start the waterworks.
"(Blush) Um…" shock was on both of their faces.
"(Eyes water up)…:sniffle:sniffle."
"Okay, Okay sheesh!" Panicked Robin as a tear fell down one eye. Starfire stood up a faced Robin as they both blushed at the audience that was staring at them a little too intently. Robin wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped hers around his neck.
"You know…you could just fly us out of here and they'd be so happy just to see us fly that they'll forget about the kiss," smirked Robin as he thought of other tricky ways to get out of the mess they were currently in.
"True, but then they'd cry after they find out they were 'duped' as you earthlings say. Besides I like this option better," smiled Starfire as she softly push Robin's head down so she could meet her mouth with his in a soft 1.5 minute kiss. All the girls went 'awww' as the boys all smirked saying even they could do better than that.
"So…do you still want to go see the constellation exhibit now?" smiled Robin, as he noticed the grade 2's were now dissipating into the rest of the crowd to find their panicked grade 2 teacher that was probably ripping her hair out by now.
"Sure let's go," giggled Starfire as she took his hand leading both Robin and his heart to see the stars. Meanwhile the little brass boy was currently talking to a chattery little girl in his class.
"So…I got them to kiss. Now where's my reward?" pouted the boy to HIS girlfriend.
"Right here," she giggled as she gave him a peck on the cheek and lead him off with the other grade 2's.
End of Part 1.
WK25: So sorry once again for the delay but things came up that had to be dealt with. With Exams and Unit tests beginning I'm giving you fair warning now that the next chapter probably won't be up for a while. Supposedly my last Final Exam is on June 16, but last semester my last Final Exam for that first half of the year was a week later than it was supposed to be. So giving myself a fair bit a time the next chapter should be at least be posted on June 28. But during the Exams and tests I'll definitely be thinking about where I want to go and stop this story. And I'm not really going anywhere for the summer this year, and the one trip we might be going on is for a week or two. Or than that you've got me for the whole summer! Also as your waiting for June 28 I'll try to organize my favourite authors and delete off there and put them and their best Teen Titan stories on my Favourite Authors. And if your really bored go ahead and check out my favourite authors theirs more than just great Teen Titian stories in them so happy hunting. Well once again, sorry for the delay and sorry for having to wait once again for another chapter to be posted, but school comes before sorry. So be patient and review because I love reading reviews and it usually helps me get over any writers block I have. Also if I go a little OOC with any of the characters, please tell me and give me hints on how to stay in character. I've got great ideas for situations but the flow of their dialog, in my opinion, could use some work. So until next time Later Days! (Yeah I know it comes off the 'weekenders' but I now use it in real life and everyone seems to like it so there!)
