Author's note: This chapter isn't as surprising as the title so don't get all worked up because the good stuff isn't near yet, it's just a title with a little bit of everything.
Chapter 5: Sex, guys, surprise!
It's been three months for Starfire and Robin with no more than two mistakes. One is when she accidentally dropped him while flying and two when he accidentally kicked her off of his motorcycle while trying to get on. Other than that everything was fine, at least for them. He had the same nightmare once out of every week, but he got used to it when he convinced himself that nothing like that could ever happen.
As Raven watched the two love birds she felt a little disgusted and a little happy for them. "Maybe I should be a little more like Star, to express my emotions." She didn't know what she was thinking. "What are you saying? You know you can't show any sign of emotion!" she heard her emotions inside her say. "But…that night…when…ugh, maybe you're all right, its best if I didn't." She now felt alone and had no one to spend any time with. No matter how much she wanted to show her emotions she knew she couldn't; the fear of hurting her friends was upsetting to her already; making it a reality would break her in two.
"Oh! Friend Raven!" she heard Starfire say to her, "Yes? What is it?" "Have you ever been in love!" "Uh, no." "Well you should try it sometime, you'll really enjoy it!" "That's enough Star; leave the dark one alone for now." Raven suddenly turned around to see Robin giving her a smile of relief that they were still friends. "Hey, it's no big deal really Robin." She knew she was lying and he knew it too, so he dragged Starfire away from her.
5 minutes later. "Raven!" Once again Starfire came out of no where to talk to her friend. "Yes Starfire, yes?" was all she could say at that moment when she was interrupted from reading her novel. "Well, I want to know if you think me and Robin are ready to take our relationship to the next level." She knew right then and there what Starfire was talking about. "Sex! I can't believe Starfire is talking about sex, with Robin." "Uh…friend Raven?" said Starfire as she watched her friend who happened to have a small smile across her face. "Well that all depends on you." "Well I think we are both ready." "Well then, you just answered your own question." Raven said as she gave her best friend a little smile of approval. "Oh thanks for your thoughts!" As Raven watched her friend leave she couldn't believe what had just happened, she was happy for her two friends, but something inside her told her otherwise.
Broken out of her thoughts again came Robin. "Oh no! I let Star get to you!" He approached her with a grin. Still thinking about the conversation her and Star had she just looked at him and laughed. "Hey! What's so funny?" "Nothing a little Star can't help you with."
The next day Starfire wanted to talk to Robin about something.
"Psst. Robin come see." "What is it Star, and why are we whispering?" said Robin as he approached Starfire. "Have you noticed anything wrong with Raven lately?" "Other than the usual stuff, no." "Well, I've seen that she's been a bit lonely the last couple of days." "Really, here's another surprise, did you know that BB is green?" he said sarcastically eyeing the alien beauty in front of him. "I'm serious. I came up with an idea to make her loneness go away." "Really, and what might that be babe?" Excited about the fact that he was concerned about her thoughts she happily told him, "I decided to set her up on one of those blind dates you earthlings have." Shocked by this, he knew Raven wouldn't appreciate it, but he already decided to help Star out with the whole thing. "So who's it gonna be?" "That's a secret for me to be knowing and you to finding it out. All you have to know is that they are coming with us on a date of double!" "Um, Star I think you mean a double date. And why does it have to be with us?" "Cause I want to see if everything works out."
As he seen Starfire drag Raven out of her room to go to the mall he couldn't imagine Raven even doing the dating thing so he laughed a little to himself. "Hey, what's up?" said BB as he sat next to Robin on the couch handing him a controller to the gamestation. The mean while Cyborg was working on his car which is often called the T car. "Oh, nothin' much." "Man girls are somethin' aren't they?" "Yeah, sometimes crazy, then fun, then sad, and so on. How do they do it?" "To tell you the truth I don't know." "Yeah I know you don't know, I was thinking out loud." Beastboy turned around to Robin who busted out laughing at his own remark. "Ha, ha, ha, you think you're so funny." "Well think about it BB, you never could get a girl with the lame pick up lines you tried to throw at them." "For your information I did have a girlfriend, or did you forget, Terra, duh!" "I have to give you that one, so my mistake." "Anyway, did you and Star do it yet?" All of a sudden Robin's heart sank. "Do…what?" he asked nervously. "Don't act stupid Robin you know what I'm talkin' about." Indeed Robin knew exactly what BB was bringing up, but he didn't want to discuss it with him. "No, not yet, but probably soon." "Okay whatever dude." Robin was surprised BB let it go, but still was in shock about the fact he brought it up.
It's been two hours since Raven and Starfire came back from the mall and Raven knew she was set up on a blind date.
"I can't believe Starfire is making me do this." Raven talked to herself out loud, "Even Robin knew about this. He knew he could have stopped her, but he's so soft hearted on her." It was time to get ready for their dates and Starfire picked out a beautiful dress for Raven to wear with matching opened toed heels.
Starfire was already in the living room waiting for the expected surprised guest, Raven, and of course her boyfriend, the boy wonder. Cyborg and BB just sat there playing the gamestation not paying attention to what was going on, thinking it was the same regular date her and Robin would go on.
Still in her room Raven had the dress on and the heels, she also decided to wear some amber colored hoop earrings and matching bracelet she bought while Star wasn't looking. She was looking at herself in the mirror over and over again. "This dress ain't half bad." All she had left to do was her hair and make-up. She curled her hair and just put a little clear lip gloss on her lips. "That should do it." As she slowly left her room she could hear BB and Cyborg arguing about rematches and who won the game. She approached Starfire not making a sound until the happy-go-lucky alien turned around and saw her. "Oh! Raven you look really nice this night!" Starfire gave out a loud scream. All of a sudden the two boys that were fussing turned around to see a girl that was supposed to be Raven. "Damnnnn!" was the only thing that came out of both boys mouth causing the dark girl to blush a little hoping no one would see.
Still in his room the boy wonder was still getting ready and making sure that his suit matched in order not to shock anyone of any sort. "Who's the lucky guy tonight?" he spoke sarcastically to himself smiling at the fact Raven was going on a date with some guy. He finally was finished and headed out to the living room. When he got around the corner he asked Starfire, "Where is our precious Raven?" Star pointed in the direction of where Raven was standing and once he looked her way he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He saw a beautiful girl in front of him, wearing a dark purple strapless dress that came to her knees, with a black lining and a slit on both sides with matching heels. What surprised him most was the fact she had her hair in wet wavy curls and lip gloss on. As he approached her he said, "Wow Raven…you look…you look…" "Hot!" said BB out of no where expressing himself. "That's not what I was going to say." "You can't lie about it Robin!" BB said as he felt something hit him upside his head which was a steel bowl Starfire threw. Robin didn't pay attention to his friend's comment, "I wanted to say that you look beautiful tonight." Did she really hear what she thought she heard coming from Robin. "Thanks." was all she could say since she was blushing. "Uh hmm." "You too Star, you look wonderful like always." Then there was a sudden knock on the door. "That must be Raven's date." "Date?" BB and Cyborg said aloud. "Yeah, a date, why else would she be dressed so beautiful?" As Starfire answered the door everyone gasped at who came walking into the living room. "Friends! I'm sure all of you know Speedy from the Titans East?"
Author's note: Now I wanted to put someone people knew and never would have guessed! Some people would have probably guessed Aqualad but it wasn't.
