Pudding of Return
Round house, punch, kick, uppercut, right hook, drop kick, sweep and many, many more moves he could think of as he beat the bag senseless. Going all out and not stopping to check if he was doing any damage to himself, Robin looked like a wild and crazy animal looking for a reason to snap. Kicking off the bag and flipping in the air he tested a new feature on his steel toe, retracting a sharp blade in the mid-back flip he sliced the bag from middle all the way up. Pouring out all it's contents as he dropped down in a crouch.
His breathing ecstatic, his heart beat racing, for the moment the dizziness of exhaustion helped him forget about her. He growled, damn, still on the mind he just couldn't get rid of her in his head. No matter what he tried, no matter how hard he willed it she was always on his mind. Even after their little feud 6 months ago he still cursed himself, he didn't blame her at all for her leaving, he blamed himself.
He acted like a royal brat and with his pride he never worked up the courage to beg for her forgiveness. Instead, every time she called he hid in the shadows or excused himself for a patrol of the city. To say that Robin had become a shadow of the Titans' would have been right on the mark, they hardly ever saw him with the exception of seeing him come out to eat, train, or on emergencies. That was pretty much it. He was a ghost and stayed that way for 6 months.
Now standing up and walking out of the gym to the hall he made his way to the kitchen to grab a bite hoping that his team wouldn't be around to bug him with questions. Especially Starfire, she was still ragging on him to talk to Raven, that she had most important things to say, he never listened practically shut her out. Now whenever she spoke to him he just pressed mute on the recording of her talking about Raven. He didn't want to hear about her and Grayheart, he read the news that they were suspecting they were a couple.
Boy, when he first read that he went into such a fit of rage that day 3 months back there were three emergencies. Mad Mod, Dr. Light (?), and Control Freak all hit that same day and he kicked their asses all in one shot. Especially when they taunted about the missing Titan his Raven, and a million thoughts raced through his mind. About her and Grayheart. That was all he had on the mind that day and for the remaining 2 months until Cyborg finally knocked some sense into him – literally – and told him it was just gossip. It wasn't real, sure that eased him a bit, but he wanted to hear it come from her mouth and say it to his face … he wanted that, but when the call came in he chickened out and left.
Oh yeah, fearless leader of the Teen Titans was running from one of his own former Titan member, the one that he loved, nope nothing wrong here (Insert sarcasm). So here he was walking down the hall to the kitchen and to his utter dismay all the Titans were up bunched at the breakfast table and reading the newspaper. Wait a minute; back it up cheap, were they reading the paper? That was odd, especially since Beast Boy seemed engulfed with it, Starfire was brighter than ever, and Cyborg was glowing with pride in his eyes.
Okay, what did he miss? Walking up to them he expected them to notice his presents no such look they were to engulf with that paper. "What's so interesting?"
"Raven." Beast Boy said offhand, Robin rolled his eyes, like he didn't know she was interesting.
"What about Raven?" he asked hoping to get more info, but to no avail.
Starfire leaned in closer, "She is in the paper."
Robin sighed getting impatient, "Why is she in the paper?"
Cyborg looked up putting the paper down to give Robin a stern look, Beast Boy cried, "Dude! I was reading that! I was getting to the good part, why'd you put it down?"
"Robin, if you're so curious maybe you should have been speaking to Raven yourself and asked her what's going on in her life. Then maybe you wouldn't be so clueless." It was stated matter-of-factly and soft enough to sound like a suggestion Robin glared.
"Could you just tell me?"
Cyborg closed the paper rolled it up and tossed it to Robin who caught it with ease. Beast Boy and Starfire whined in unison when the news was ripped from them, Robin raised a brow and unrolled the paper to see Raven had made front-page news. In a picture with Bruce both wore serious expressions and small smiles as they waved the crowd before entering a privet jet. Examining the picture before going on, Robin noticed that Raven's hair had grown out a bit more past her chin and to his utter shock her jewel on her forehead was showing.
Reading the title, Robin's mouth dropped in disbelief: A real rising "Titan" in the boardroom he blinked and read on to himself, "Miss Roth, or rather Raven from the "Teen" Titans is really making a name for herself. Though it is still not certain just where she learned the trick of the trade, we can be sure Raven is not an amateur when it comes to sealing deals. Why just now she had closed the disagreements between two feuding companies with the oversea of Mister Wayne as her new mentor. With the exposing of Daniel Grayheart, famous businessman extraordinaire to really be the infamous Red X on a business trip to Japan with Raven known as Miss Roth at the time. A "mishap" in the office had lead to a term of life in prison back at her hometown Jump City. Raven Roth may be making a name for herself, but she still remembers where she came from and to them she shall be returning to after her six-month period of business experience. Friday July, 31 2005 Bruce's privet plane will fly the bird home …"
By this time Robin had stopped reading, even if there was so much more to read, the final line had confused even disturbed him. What the hell had be been missing? Looking back up to his team, Beast Boy had transformed himself into a kitten that Starfire was holding and petting while watching Robin's emotions streak across his face. Cyborg just sat back in his chair with a look of the infamous told-ya-so, as Robin put the paper down on the table with a shake of his head.
She was coming back, she was coming back tonight and there was nothing he could do but wait and pray her feelings haven't changed, cause lord knows his haven't.

In the plane typing away on his laptop Bruce glanced to the young woman who sat next to him while nervously twirling her blouse and wrinkling the poor thing. Now unlike Robin, Bruce was a clean freak he hated it when something was out of order or worse miss placed. He also disliked the fact that any of his employs came to working looking dishevel or disorderly in any way. So to sooth both him and Raven he put a hand on her nimble fingers to stop her.
This cause her to jump and something from the bar to shatter, the flight attendant gasped and Bruce sighed, "Raven will you please calm yourself, you act as if you'll be seeing them for the first time."
Raven sighed and tried to meditate silently in her head still nervous as all hell for going back home to see her friends, and to finally see Robin. Although she was afraid what he might think of her cause after all he hadn't talked to her in 6 months, and for those six months she was stuck worrying what had happened. She had asked her friends if he was alright, but ended up getting general answers like: 'Oh … he, uh … went off for patrol' and 'Friend Robin is not quite present, please tell us more about you' and 'Girl, he's like sleeping … I mean … after all you did call us at … heh … 7pm …?'
In the end she just gave up asking, what was the point? Looking into the baby soft blue eyes of her new boss, Raven felt a sense of calm wash over her. Unlike dark raging sapphire, Bruce was wise and understanding she sighed and tried her best to keep her emotions in check, "I'm sorry Bruce, I guess I'm just anxious I haven't seen … them in awhile."
Patting her hand he pulled it back and continued to work with a comfortable smile on his face, "Don't fret Rae, everything will be okay … if I know Richard as well as I do now he wouldn't have changed at all."
She blushed, she hadn't even told Bruce on her feels to his adoptive son, yet some how he knew. How that that possible was beyond her, so with a heavy sigh she looked out the widow, "I don't know Bruce, Robin –"
"Can be childish at times, but when he realizes his mistake he will do anything in his power to correct it."
Raven looked back to Bruce and took a deep breath, "I guess, but I was the one who left them not the other way around … maybe my mark is wrong … maybe this just won't –"
Once again interrupted by Bruce he sounded more exasperated this time, "Raven, you yourself had looked up you're dragon mark, it is the mark that is obtained when you have finally chosen a mate that will be needing you and vise versa later on in the future. The pain is the pain you feel when he is in need of your presents, he feels the same, but since he's human he'll only feel a bothering sensation. Now calm down or you'll bring the plane crashing down before we ever reach Jump City."
Raven glared and playfully shoved him earning a grin that reminded her so much of Robin, "I have no idea whether to be grateful for you're little pep talk or offended on your wording."
"Personally I'd choose the earlier, but that's an opinion." Bruce shrugged and continued to work whatever it was he was working on. Raven had to tilt her head in curiosity, something had been bugging her for a while now … ever since her 'run in' with Dan –er Red X.
She decided to ask now, "Bruce … if you knew about him, how come you never told us … me even."
"Because then it would have compromised our identities … however I can't say the same for you," he answered truthfully and straight forward, something Raven found to be an unbreakable part of his personality, to just tell it as it were, "I'm sorry I hadn't told you sooner though, cause that was the reason why I allowed him to ask if he could have an assistant from the Titans. That way I could have an insider without having to explain myself about him … please, I won't ask you to forgive me, but just understand that I was going to tell you before the 'incident'."
Raven shook her head and waved her hand to dismiss the thought, "Don't be daft, apologies aren't needed I'm just curious why you never spoke of it with Robin."
A smirk came to Bruce's face, a smirk that chilled her blood and flash images of a certain familiar Robin she was going home to. Looking up at her his baby blue eyes flashed playfully as he said, "Do you think if I told Robin Daniel Grayheart was actually the notorious Red X that was trying to murder me to gain my control of my company and thus be even closer to collapsing world order in his reign with the help of brainwashing the arguably most powerful Titan in the 'Teen' Titans, do you think he have let you go? I don't think so."
She rolled her eyes; "Now I know where he gets his tricky ways … when a robin conjoins with a bat the raven has to wonder what they have learned."
Bruce chuckled, "Birds of a feather –"
"Bat's have leather."
" –Fly together."
Raven snorted, "My aren't you the poet."
"My don't you know it."
Once again rolling her eyes she was grateful that Bruce was able to distract and calm her enough to enjoy the rest of the flight. Now just thinking about how good it was going to be with just seeing her friends tonight and wondering if Bruce will let her stay. Not only that, but she hoped that Robin wasn't still angry at her cause lord knows she was eager to see him the most.

Closing the door to the limo that had picked Bruce and Raven up and dropped them to the giant T for a house the limo drove off and left the two dark hero's standing in front of the home Raven knew and loved. The time was 9pm and the two business workers were beginning to feel the jetlag effect of crossing the rose line. Or the international time line, however the effect was nothing but a tugging feeling on Raven. Right now her nervous feeling was coming back full swing and Bruce glanced uneasily too the water that began to churn in an unnatural way.
Clearing his throat and snapping Raven out of her nervousness he gestured to go up and ring the bell. Taking a deep breath and desperately trying to level off her pounding heart she walked up and pressed the button that she knew signaled the arrival of a visitor.
Think it funny how she had become a visitor to her own home.
"Yes?" Raven grinned, Starfire sounded still has innocent as ever.
"It's me." Raven answered and there was not another response only a buzzing noise and the doors to the tower slid open, Bruce chuckled.
"Looks like they're eager … lead the way Raven."
"God why couldn't have you just said run for life and I would have gladly obeyed." Raven said with a hint of hesitation in her voice, so with a deep breath she did the unthinkable … she walked past the thrust hold and into the tower and boy was she hit with so many memories.
Some good … some bad … some just plain old confusing, either way a smile crept on her face as she lead Bruce through the long stretch towards the elevators. There she pressed the familiar button to the main room and once the doors slide open she was bombarded with a three smiling faces.
"WELCOME BACK RAVEN!"
Raven would have been bawling with overwhelming tears, but since she wasn't the type she just rushed in and showed everyone how much she cared and hugged them all. With Starfire coming close to crushing her spine she didn't care, cause she missed them all so much.
"Oh my dearest friend Raven we are all overwhelmed with you're presents finally where you belong … come I have made the Tamaranian Pudding of Return I am will assure you, you shall enjoy it immensely!" Raven sweat-dropped at the mention of Starfire actually making something from her home planet, but to make the girl feel better Raven smiled and nodded.
"No problem Star can't wait."
"Hey whasup Rae, boy have I been missing you!" Beast Boy transformed into a dog to show her just how much he cared and Raven knelt down allowing him to lick her face as she hugged him.
"I've missed you to Beast Boy, and I'm glad I'm back." Morphing back into the human that he was he had sat back with his hands propping him up as Raven stood back up with a genuine smile.
Jumping to his feet he looked over to Bruce, "Dude, like are you going to be having anymore invites to you're house cause as you can see this place is not exactly Richy-Rich material."
Bruce smiled, "I don't know why you resent it so much Beast Boy, this place has made it into one of the wondrous marvels of the world, scientists including many of my own workers are baffled at its structure and design. They wonder how it could stand at such a vertical ascension without toppling over."
Cyborg grinned, "Well it was tough to think it through, but I found away."
"Will you be kind enough to tell?"
"Sorry, even Batman won't know the secret."
Bruce chuckled, "I figured as much, nice place any way."
"Thanks, so how've you been treating my little sis?" Cyborg turned to Raven and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, which she didn't shy away from or give any threat.
"Raven has been holding quite well on her own, she doesn't necessarily need my care, but I'm sure you already knew that."
Beast Boy butted in and wrapped an arm around Raven's other shoulder also glad she didn't push him away, "Our Raven gives nothing but the best, Creepy here got the skills to pay the bills."
"Just for the occasion I won't kill you for that comment," Raven smirk as Beast Boy sweat-dropped and chuckled nervously, then form behind her Starfire wrapped her arms around her neck and to Bruce he thought that this would make such a pretty picture … only thing was someone was missing.
"Friend Raven you may not like the touch of others, but for the night please reconsider, cause we are all glad to see you are well, especially after your … uh … trial with the Red X." Starfire smiled and nuzzled her cheek with hers in attempt to silently apologize for bringing up such a subject. As if on cue the other two hugged her tighter, and Raven let them, doing as Starfire pleaded, reconsidering their touch. She missed them all so much … but something was missing … or more likely someone. Looking to Bruce she noticed he gave a barely visible shrug and she found that she was going to have to figure this herself.
"Not to be rude … but …um … where's Robin?" like they had touched fire they all quickly pulled away, Beast Boy rubbing the back of his neck nervously, and Cyborg checking his readings for whatever it was that interested him, while Starfire looked around trying to busy herself with something else. They had been expecting the question, and were honestly baffled on the reason why they couldn't answer a simple question.
"I'll be in the kitchen," Cyborg excuse, Beast Boy blinked.
"Right behind you."
"Wait, I do not think you know how to make the Pudding of Return!"
Leaving Raven alone with Bruce who walked pasted to the couch whispering, "Try the training room, you should know by now."
Raven sighed and looked to the elevator, "I know … I was just hoping he'd be here with the others."
"Maybe he's just hoping to be alone with you." Spinning around and glaring in shock at Bruce's words all he did was wink and plop down on the couch making himself at home and turning on the giant TV to see just what the Titans had to offer.
Stalking into the elevator and trying to forget whatever Bruce had meant she headed down to the training room and took a deep breath as she walked down the hall to see if Robin really was there. However she hadn't a shadow of a doubt he was there, knowing Robin he was really deep with training, it was like a religion to him. The doors slid open into the gym and she stopped frozen at the door when she saw him … in person … in an almost similar way she had last seen him the night before she left.
No shirt, sweat glistening off his chiseled chest and abs, Raven tried not to ogle like a like a horny schoolgirl, but could you blame her? Trying her damned arrest to concentrate she slowly walked in towards the masked hero who was to caught up with downing his water bottle to notice he had an 'admirer'. Stopping a few feet from him – a safe few feet – Raven cleared her throat, "Hi Robin." Wow, what a lame greeting, she thought with a scolding tone.
A hint of a smirk graced his lips and Raven blinked; maybe it was just a trick of the light? Putting the bottle down he looked to her with a nodded he said smoothly, "Nice to finally see you again …"
"…" for the moment she didn't know what to say and struggled to get her mouth moving and voice box working, " …uh … yeah … uh … nice to be back."
"Yeah," he agreed with a distant tone, glad that he had a mask on otherwise she would have seen his eyes roaming her body, thinking how untouchable she looked and so refined. Wonder how 'refined' she'll be once I get her out of it. He blinked when he heard her voice speak once more.
"So um, you wanna' come up and join the other's Robin? Bruce is here to."
If she says my name one more time, I'm gonna' crack, Robin invisibly gulped and shrugged, "Why not, I'll be up soon."
"Okay, I'll be waiting then, see ya in the main living area," with that she turned her back and walked out, one the doors slide shut Robin ran to the punch bag and delivered a breath-taking kick, enough to get the thing swirling and the chains to creak threatening to come down.
Standing straight up and away from the swinging bag he chuckled and gave cunning look to the door she had left through, "Heh, the things you do to me."
Outside Raven had leaned against the closed door and put a hand to her heart, feeling it racing and her breathing becoming erratic. She was currently congratulating herself for keeping her hormones under control and not just pouncing him right then and there. God she didn't know just how much she had fallen for him, but obviously she had fallen hard cause the things he was doing her was unthinkable. She never reacts this way.
Taking a deep breath she pushed off the door and quickly flew to the elevator, just in time to as Robin stepped out the devious smirk of his on his lips a very naughty plan forming in his mind. Raven was back and she was staying for the night to discuss if she was ready to come back … well she'll need a bit of convincing if she's gonna' stay, no way in hell was he going to let her go. Not again.
--
"Oh there you are friend Raven!" greeted once again while stepping out of the elevator was Starfire with a bowl full of … some green goo and a wide smile on her face, "Now you may try the ceremonial Pudding of Return, we cannot start anything of this special day without you trying the pudding, so please, feed the face!"
Raven so desperately wanted to decline, but at the same time didn't want to insult her so grabbing the spoon she lifted up as little as she could, but to no avail the thing was really like goo. Shakily she opened her mouth and stuffed the spoon full of the thing, expecting it to goo down her throat and burn with a veil taste, Raven blinked and was surprised that for one Starfire had actually made something that tasted delicious!
"Wow Star! What's in this thing?" taking another bite the most happy Tameran giggled with joy as Raven began to eat more of it, Beast Boy and Cyborg looking on in total shock.
"All the necessary ingredients the one returning likes compiled into one bowl. Granted it took a while for me to find the substance needed that you enjoyed on you're home planet, but we found it." Raven stopped and looked at the green bowl, no wonder she thought it tasted familiar.
Looking back to Starfire she blinked and gave a look of confusion, "But how were you able to obtain a gazarth fruit, it is a very rare delicacy on my planet, very expensive to."
Starfire grinned and put a hand on her shoulder, "Being a princess to a neighboring planet helps friend, and I have to ask. Why is this 'gazarth' of which you speak of so rare and expensive?"
Taking another careful bite from the bowl Raven motioned for the Tameran to follow her to the couch where she could sit and wait for the final member to join in on the fun, "Well, gazarths are not only grown on a very specific type of soil, it is difficult to cultivate at it, not only that but the fruit itself is mostly eaten by the rich and the strong. Giving a serge of extra energy, I'm surprised you were able to bring it to Earth, a universal law had been passed that no fruit from Azarath should ever leave the planet for the after effects it shall bring after eaten."
Starfire took out her spoon and tried it once delighted that it had tasted most delectable, "I see your point, would any one else care to have a try of the delicious desert?"
Beast Boy and Cyborg glanced at each other and shrugged, taking extra spoons from Starfire they carefully took a bite and 'mmm'ed in agreement the thing was alright even Bruce agreed and this was his first time eating any alien foods. Just then the elevator doors slid open to revel a casual Robin in his uniform, Starfire smiled, thinking that this would be a great time for her friends to get together.
"Friend Robin! It is so wondrous for you to finally join us! Come! Feast on the most delicious Pudding of Return and enjoy the comfort of being surrounded by friends! Once more the Titans are one!" well … Robin blinked … she was most certainly happy, and that forced him to give a look of enjoyment as he smiled and grabbed a spoon Bruce held for him. Noticing that their wasn't that much room to sit he decided to defy the laws of manners and sit on the arm of the chair right next to Raven.
Starfire reached over to Robin as best she could and he did the rest slightly leaning on Raven for support, to say the dark Titan was uncomfortable was an understatement. Scooping up a spoon full of the pudding Robin gulped it down quick so to ignore the veil taste it may bring, but was taken back when it actually tasted good. Like vanilla ice cream mixed with a fruity taste of apples, watermelons, oranges, that sort of thing. He looked to Starfire with a stunned expression, "Whoa, what is thing made of?"
"Do you like? It comes from Raven's home planet, a fruit called gazarth. A substance that can multiply one's power if eaten enough." Starfire answered proudly, Robin blinked and looked down at Raven with a smirk, she looked up and discreetly tried to lean back.
"Sweet," there was a second meaning to the one word, but she didn't want to find out what it was, just then to distract her from the closeness her and Robin were at Bruce stood up.
"Well, I'd say I'm getting kind of famished, airplane food isn't that much of a meal if you know what I mean. What's on the menu Cyborg?"
Cyborg grinned, "Well come to the table and find out Bruce."
With that the pudding was floated back to the fridge my Starfire who quickly joined the gathering around the table for the meal. While the dinner went well and the food was delicious –despite Beast Boy trying to unnoticeably steal the food and throw them away. Everything went well, small talk was made and the tension between Robin and Raven was minimal if nothing at all, almost as if everything was back to normal with a visitor at the table that is. And for the moment Raven was grateful Robin wasn't showing anything that made her uneasy, just small gestures and sly brushes of skin on skin, but nothing to big.
Then after dinner the big question was asked by none other than Starfire, "So friend Raven, tell true are you staying for good?"
Gritting her teeth together, Raven glanced warily at Robin and noticed that he was just sitting and staring waiting for her to answer as will as the others. Looking to Bruce she almost dropped dead when he answered for her, "Raven will no longer be needed at the company, however if she wants to there will always be a spot open for her if she wishes to continue what she had started."
Mouth dropping in bewilderment and eyes widening to an unbelievable size she looked at Bruce as if he had grown another head. Was he just going to let her go? Just like that? "Bruce …?"
He smiled as her, "Raven, it is quite alright, besides, you're city needs you more than a boring business boardroom. With the public already knowing whom you truly are I highly doubt you will have any to a snitch of privacy to yourself."
"So what do you say Raven, you'll stay?" Beast Boy looked on with a hopeful glaze, Raven traveled her eyes to a praying Tamaranian, then a supportive Cyborg … and finally … too the masked Robin. Nothing, no emotion could be seen on his face; mostly because the mask was on, and it was the way he wanted it at the moment. He didn't want her to see how much he wanted her to see how much he wanted her to stay.
With a sighed she bowed her head and wished she had her cape and hood on, that way she wouldn't have to deal with seeing them or them seeing her. But did it matter? With a smile she looked up and chuckled, "You have to ask?"
"Joyous be!"
"Alright!"
"This so not reeking!"
"Good." Raven titled her head in confusion at Robin's answer as smirk came to his lips he stood up and walked to her gesturing for her to stand by taking her hand she bite her lip when he came close and whispered, "cause I would have never let you go."
With that his lips came crashing to hers in an entrapping kiss, at first taken back and a bit confused. She let it go and pitched in, already starting the battle over dominance. Around the table, Bruce had his head bowed, eyes closed and a smirk playing on his face. Starfire floated in the air and flipped a few times in happiness for the secret has been revealed, Beast Boy smiled and chuckled while rubbing the back of his neck. Cybory shook his head and sighed amusingly looking up to the panting couple he cleared his throat, "Get a room!"
Robin chuckled, "What a tempting idea."
Raven glared playfully and swatted his chest, "Get your hormones under control cause I'm not that easy."
"Funny, you didn't seem to be the teasing type a while back."
"I'm not, I just don't rush things, tried telling that to Grayheart, but look where it got him."
Robin snorted, "The bastard can rot in hell for all I care, he got lucky that I wasn't there to kick his ass, told you that you shouldn't have gone to Japan."
Raven chuckled, "Uh, no Starfire told me that, you however, just stormed away and never spoke to me since. You could sure as hell hold a long damn grudge."
"Not a grudge, I was just to silly to talk, for that I'm sorry if … it's worth anything."
Raven kissed him lightly and smiled, "It's worth everything."
This time Bruce cleared his throat, "Well now, I believe that this has been a most interesting turn of events, but the night has eluded us and I believe sleep is acquired for most of us. So let's save this little talk for the morning and retire for the night."
"I agree, I am most, how you say? The pooped?" Starfire yawned and stretched floating over to the elevator.
Beast Boy stretched his arms and cracked his fingers before agreeing with Starfire, "Yeah, sleep sounds good to me, wait up Star hold the elevator!"
Cyborg looked to Bruce and jerked his head to follow, "Come on I'll set you into the guest room."
Leaving Robin and Raven to themselves, Raven took off his mask to reveal the blue eyes that drover her crazy to see they held a mischievous glare in them that matched his ever-present cocky smirk. "Something funny Boy Wonder?"
Pulling her closer to him he said, "Nope, you tired?"
" … nope," Raven grinned at the same time Robin did and with that she teleported them to her room and thus for the night no one got any sleep …
END
--
I know you guys probably hate me for this, but I had to end the story here, my interest in it was growing …well … short and I am very sorry for those of you who thought there to be more. Please, please, please I hope you can understand … besides this was my first shot to a Teen Titan story, let alone a full blown purely romance story. I hate to say, but romance is not really my category, which I have so found out. But anyway … yeah … sorry again you guys, damn this is so killing me inside, especially since I was so wanting to give this story a decent ending.
Okay enough of me, you guys don't want to here excuses, but I really am sorry … just be happy that I told the truth … okay I'm going to go mope and sulk about my failure.
By the way … if it's worth anything, I thank all of you for reviewing and at least giving me the strength to finish the story (sighs).
