" I hope they serve tea here.." Raven mumbled quietly to herself, as the foursome entered the rather loud night club.

Raven cringed, and brought her hands up to her ears, unsuccessfully trying to block out the loud, pumping music. "What'd you say?" yelled a bouncing Garfield, who had, miracously, brushed his green cracker free hair. " I said 'I hope they've got tea!" Raven shouted at him, wrinkling her nose as the bright neon lights flashed in her sensitive eyes.

Garfield stared at her for a moment before hopping off to mingle with the large crowd. Richard laughed and followed him, waving to Tom and Raven.

Tom bowed towards her, and waved a hand dramatically, apologizing for having to leave. But he had some business to attend to.

So there Raven now was. Stuck in the middle of a pushy, partying crowd, all alone. Great, Raven sighed and walked over towards the empty bar.

Tom's pov.

Tom sighed, pulling off his small black hat. They were late. He hated it when his…'minions' were late. Tom barked out a harsh bit of laughter. Minions, HA, some minions.

Raven pov

Susie had a steam boat the steam boat had a bell ding ding, miss Susie went to heaven the steam boat went to, hello operator ring me number nine and if you disconnect me I'll kick you from behind the fridgorator there lay a piece of glass, miss Susie sat upon it and cute her big fat ask me no more questions tell me no more lies…..' Raven sung quietly to herself, staring off into space, bored as hell. Raven moaned, scratching her chin and looked around the large room, going through the mass of bodies, looking for someone she knew, or any one intelligent enough to talk to.

Raven rested her head on the bars edge. Drifting off into space again, watching the milling bodies dance and chatter. The lights began to blur, as heavy lids closed, senses slowly died down, ears began to block out the now dulling roar of the music. The nauseating smells slowly dimmed. The sweet blanket of sleep took her.

All until a large, long fingered hand decided to lodge it's self on to her black jean clad hips, giving them a gentle squeeze.

Raven jumped in her small chair, swerving toward the fool who dared touch her, ready to kill the bastard.

But was quite surprised to be faced by the laughing face of Dick an: dick and Richard are the same person just to let you know

Raven breathed in through her nose, eyes flashing with anger. "erggg….. you DICK head what was that? MEN! " She growled spinning around in her bar stool glaring at the empty bottles of coke she had drunken previously.

Dick laughed and put his hand on her shoulder, slightly flinching when Raven glared at him. "Sorry. Didn't know that you'd get all touchie or anything." He barked out a laugh, trying to act calm. But really, having angry violet eyes was just unnerving. Raven huffed. "Did you need something?" she asked staring past his shoulder, clearly not caring.

Richard rubbed his neck, all confidence gone at the black stare Raven was now giving his left shoulder. "hmmmm…..I was wondering if you'd like to….dance with me.?" He questioned, tipping back on his heels, bracing himself for her sharpest reply.

Raven stared at the man in front of her, bewildered, 'dance?' she thought to herself. 'Dance, to this ridicules music?' Raven scowled about to tell the stupid git to go dance with a cow. "Dance! You except me to DANCE to this ridicules music! Ha-ha, you wouldn't catch me-"

Said Dick rolled blue eyes, and graped Raven's arms before she could finish her argument.

If it was the last thing that he would ever do, he vowed to make Raven enjoy herself.

"What in God's name do you want me to do?" Raven growled, the now slow music giving her a headache with all of its cheesiness. Richard shook his head, shaggy black hair swishing around a bit. "Haven't you ever slow danced with someone?" he questioned, moving her arms up to his neck. Raven glared and a growl as his hands, again, touched her hips.

"Now come one deary, you can't just stand like a board and dance! You have to sway, that's it, let your body take over, sway with the music." He whispered just above her left ear.

Raven flushed, not used the attention.

"There you go, that's the way." Richard praised, dark eyes laughing with mirth.

Raven looked away, watching the other couples dance and stare all googily eyed at each other. Raven sneered in disgust and looked back towards Richard, smirking as she traced his caught eyes towards a big breasted blonde who was seductively eyeing him. "Have got an observer over there do ya?" Raven asked slyly, lossening her grip slightly on his neck.

Richard blinked and looked down at her. "What do you mean?". Raven rolled her eyes. "The 'girl' over there. Stupid. No, not the redhead the BLONDE!" Raven pointed her out rolling her eyes and muttering men.

"Oh…do you really think so?" He asked, his blue eyes, now twinkeling. "No, of course not…duh." Richard laughed as the song ended and dragged her over towards the bored looking blonde.

"Raven." He said, waving a hand over towards the bored looking blonde. "I'd like you to meet a friend of Tom's, Garfield's and mine;"

"Terra"
