Hey again y'all! I know, I know, I told you I'd get the next chapter out in like 2 days, but my stupid internet crapped out on me last night and it just would NOT come back on. I begged, I pleaded, I think I even got down on my knees and worshiped the ground it came from, but it did no good (probably because it has no emotions whatsoever, thus pleading would not work anyway, but you know I had to try). So, I finally give you chapter 7!

So, I've run out of things to THANK YOU all with, but I will take suggestions! In the mean time, to those of you who so rock (and you know who you are, but I'll name you anyway) Thank you: Dark Winding Rose, evilsangle, Savvy (I will not disappoint!), kissa123(hi!), lintilla, They call me Sweetsnow, Bethany Elise (Thank you for reviewing both chapters!), (and also, I've forgotten to thank a few of the wonderful people from the IMDb boards who also review my story. -even though I post thank you's there), Mad Clown Disease, Hermione3001, johnmurdoch2002, Blonde Pirate (I know you said you reviewed here, but I don't know exactly who…) AND…

Stevem: thank you for all of your imput. I would gladly take more. You are correct. I didn't even think that even though It would be extremely hot, that they probably would leave on their boots –though in 'The Quest' Robin DID take off his boots and go barefoot, so you never know, but that was a good catch. Thank you. I can definitely use the help and critiques!

Scott Okragleski: yeah, I really like Mas y Menos. It's too bad Titans east kinda sucks as a group. Individually they're kinda cooler. And as I write this…think about it this way: LESS than 90 days! Yay for you.

cyberclock000: yeah, I loved that part too. It was one of the happy accidents that pops out of my fingers every now and then. Most of the stuff I write just comes out on the fly. And you're welcome for the pass;) And I do thank you for writing longer reviews. It just gives me even more to look forward to!

Cherry Jade: Yeah, Bee can put anyone in their place can't she? I love that part. She just can get all "attitude up in your face" and I know that's why she's their leader. Thank you again for reviewing! Always love to see them!

Cutter-with-a-cause: why would you feel sorry for expressing an opinion? I feel honored if anyone expresses an opinion. Especially one that is a happy one! Feel free!

TeenTitansObsessor: Got your review in the nick of time! Thank you so much for enjoying my works! I do try hard to entertain. (And I'm glad you're okay ;))

--So, moving on to some Rob/Rae goodness… by the way anyone else seen 'The End'(parts 1, 2, and 3)! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa……………... yay! YAY! YAY! A million times yay! They will never make a better episode, mark my words, but they better darn well try!

Disclaimer: I'm just too uninspired to write something witty at the moment, so get this through your heads sitemasters, I do not own the show! Must I tell you again? --Well, yes, I guess I must since I have 7 more chapters…crud... nice sitemasters, good sitemasters, (please don't hurt me!) -----aaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Care for a Swim?

Robin and Raven had headed directly inland to find shelter for the night. They had come upon a small cave -about five by eight feet- before it got too dark to see. Both had been thankful to find it, but neither was very keen on sleeping together in such close quarters. "Well, I guess this will have to do for now," Robin finally said aloud, "There's no way we'll be able to look for anywhere else to stay tonight." He unfurled his cape and pulled out the larger torn pieces of Raven's cloak, "We can use these as 'pillows' for now and I guess since there is only one way to lie, we'll be able to use this…" he then held up his own cape, "as a blanket."

Raven sighed and rolled her eyes, she didn't know how she would cope sleeping next to the man she had such a strong desire toward not so long ago, but this was kind of an odd situation so she decided to just "go with the flow". "Fine, but let's just try to keep as far to our respective sides as possible." She lay on the left and he on the right. She wasn't tired at all despite all of the energy she'd expended that day, so she just rolled to face the wall of the cave, pretending to be asleep. Every quiet minute that passed, she rehashed the events of the day in her mind.

Robin didn't know it, but he was doing the exact same thing, only he happened to be staring at the opposite wall. 'I need to take a page from Raven's book and keep my emotions under control... Listen to me, even when I'm trying not to think about her, I'm thinking about her! Come on Robin. You're stronger than this. You just need to…oh crap! I think I just elbowed her ribcage! I hope she didn't notice. -Okay Robin, this will be much easier if you just go to sleep.'

While Robin, was willing himself to sleep, Raven was trying to meditate silently, 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos… Robin is only 6 inches away from me…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Raven just breath in slowly…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…and out slowly…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…good Raven, good…Azarath MetriOW! Did Robin just elbow me? That better not have been on purpose or he's gonna…wait, whoa Raven, calm…of course he didn't do it on purpose. Robin is not like that and besides, he doesn't even know how you're feeling about him so he'd have no need to pick on you about it. Okay, back to meditation…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…this would be so much easier if I couldn't feel the heat radiating from of his body…Azarath Metrion Zinthos.'

This went on for hours until they both finally fell into a light sleep, though every time they happened to bump into each other during the night, they would awaken and apologize profusely, mentally checking where their hands had been, before rolling over and attempting to fall back asleep.

Raven thanked the sun extensively as it peered into the cave, slowly bathing her in light. She popped up quietly, trying not to disturb her consort and wandered outside in search of…well anything that would take her away from the cave, her thoughts, …and Robin. She surveyed her surroundings, 'Right or left? Neither looks any better than the other…okay, right it is,' and she headed off.

Robin rolled over and stretched his arms out to the sides as the sun washed over his face. It took him a few seconds for the events of the past day to register in his mind, but once they did, he noticed that his companion was missing. He panicked momentarily, but felt around and realized that the spot where she was supposed to have been was still warm –she hadn't been gone long. He quickly gathered their meager belongings and threw them into his cape. As he walked outside, he looked to the ground and noticed two sets of footprints coming into the cave, but only one leaving.

He followed the small imprints, hoping to find Raven. At times, they were barely visible, but being trained to pick up on imperceptible traces, meant that Robin had no problem following Raven's trail. She had gotten farther than he would've thought considering her only-slight lead. She had even climbed up a trail that lead to the peak of a cliff on the island. 'Well, at least if nothing else, I can see everything from the top and that will make it much easier to find us a better place to stay for the night,' Robin thought optimistically.

He finally found her. She stood, gazing off the edge of the precipice. She looked as though she was about to jump and Robin darted forward dropping his pack. He grabbed Raven's arm and yanked her backward, "Raven no! I know the situation looks hopeless right now, but I still need you. Please don't jump!"

Raven ripped her arm away, "What are you talking about! I wasn't going to "jump" like you put it. Look!" She pointed over to where she had been standing.

Robin cautiously approached the edge and looked down. About 30ft. below the cliff there was a huge pool of freshwater. He traced the source of the water to a stream on his left. It created the waterfall which fed into the lagoon. "Oh, um, I'm sorry," he said turning around, "It's just that I thought…well I was worried about you."

"That's wonderful Robin," she deadpanned, crossing her arms, "Yes. Save me… Save me, from the horrible, terrible, "Blue Lagoon" -I mean I know it was a really bad movie, but…"

"Rae, come on. I was just trying to help," he sighed, showing his exasperation by shrugging his shoulders, "It's what I do."

Raven turned her head away as her eyes widened, 'Did he just call me Rae? He doesn't call me Rae, the other guys call me Rae, but not him! --Raven stop it! It's nothing, he probably just picked it up by hearing it so often…Don't let this get to you!' She turned back, regaining her emotionless face, "I just thought it might be nice to take a dip that's all, but I didn't know if I wanted to jump that far. There's probably another way around."

Robin glanced over the bluff to double check and smiled sportively, 'I've leapt farther than that before.' "Raven, bring the pack!" He ran the few feet to the edge and yelled, "Bonsai!" as he dove off.

Raven ran after him, just catching sight of his feet before the splash. She watched from the cliff hoping that Robin would surface quickly. After a minute with no sign of him, fear was growing rapidly inside of her. It was still unnerving being able to feel so strongly without anything blowing up around her, but it was more unnerving not being able to see that Robin was safe. She gathered her courage and jumped –hoping to God she wouldn't hit him- closing her eyes until her feet hit the water.

She struggled to the surface quickly and peered through water-covered lashes, thrashing wildly in search of Robin. With success still eluding her and with only precious seconds of Robin's oxygen left, she dove under the water, blindly feeling her way around hoping to grab hold of anything on Robin's person. She felt nothing but rocks and weeds and so surfaced for breath once more. 'Damn alternate reality! If I had my powers I could find him!' her mind screamed. She knew it would do no good, but with no other ideas left, she called out his name, over and over.

All yelling ceased when something grabbed her foot and dragged her underneath the water. She felt around desperately and her hand brushed over a recognizable material. She grasped Robin's shirt and hauled him to the surface. As their heads emerged she quickly realized that Robin was not breathing. She found that the adrenaline was giving her an almost superhuman strength as she pulled him aground. "Okay Raven. Robin made you study resuscitation techniques just in case, so just go step by step… Hard flat surface -got it. Tilt head back –done. Pinch nose closed…mouth over his…two quick shallow breaths –done. Did his chest rise? …No. Damn it! Once more…"

The second time she placed her mouth on his, Robin moved and Raven pulled away to let him cough out the excess water, but she noticed that he didn't cough or even feel the need to gasp for air; he just sat up on his elbows and said, "Good job Raven. I knew that would come in handy some time."

Raven reeled back, her hand grabbing her chest in surprise. She gasped before yelling, "You asshole! What the HELL was that! I was scared out of my freaking mind! I thought you were going to die!" she paused, taking a deep breath and gathering her thoughts "-but now, you are going to die, because I am going to kill you!" She lunged forward, but stopped and turned away. Her breath came rapidly and every muscle in her face tensed upon the realization that she couldn't really do anything to him without her powers.

Robin crawled to her, "Rae, it was a joke. Look, I'm sorry. I didn't know you would feel so… Raven, please talk to me!"

She whipped around, "You thought that would be funny! Are you kidding me! That was as far from, 'funny' as you could get." She placed her head in her hands to hide her rapidly approaching tears, "You scared the hell out of me Robin! I really did think that you were hurt or worse! And there would be nothing I could do to heal you. You would've left me all alone…and despite what I usually say, I don't want to be alone."

Robin took a chance and threw his arms around her in a tight embrace, "Raven, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for this to turn out this way. I should be smarter than this, but obviously sometimes common sense evades me," he stood and apologetically offered her his hand, "Rae I know there's nothing I can do to make this up to you, but would you let me try?"

She set her hand in his and rose to meet his eyes, "Well, there is one thing…drink up!" She shoved forward as hard as she could, making Robin fall back into the lagoon and creating a huge splash. When he popped out of the water, she laughed, "Now that was funny."

He shook his head "no" raising his eyebrow playfully, "You're gonna get it!" He dove under and swam to her grabbing her leg and pulling her in with him. As she emerged, she brushed her hair out of her face. Spotting Robin not far from her, she slid her hand forward, skimming the surface and covering him with a wave of water. When he recovered, he did the same, thus fueling the fire for an oncoming "splashing war". Robin tried a sneak attack and failed miserably, while Raven just kept flailing like mad, dousing him completely.

Finally tiring of not getting the upper hand, Robin braved the wall of liquid to grab Raven's shoulders and pulled her under the water. She placed her hands on his chest and pushed away, but he held fast. After she struggled for a few seconds, he lifted her up above the surface and both stared at each other silently as the water dripped down their faces. Robin saw her violet eyes sparkle as she blinked away the droplets from her lashes. He felt his body take over, drawing her to him and pulling her into a long, sensuous kiss.

She didn't struggle. She just allowed him to move his lips over hers, slowly at first and then with more intensity. They could feel the passionate energy and both wanted it to continue, but Raven finally pulled away. She tried aloud to deny the feeling inside of her, "Robin, we shouldn't do this."

She started to swim away, but he grabbed her arm to pull her back, "But Raven…"

"But nothing!" she said shaking him off violently, "You like Starfire! -You've always liked her, and one little slip up is not going to change that!" She closed her eyes in dismay as she climbed out of the water and as soon as she could, she took off running.
