Disclaimer- I solemnly swear that I do not own Teen Titans. I do however own the 6th Harry Potter book (mwhahaha!)

A/N- I'm BACK! Yup I just got back from my 2 week trip to Greece and I had the greatest urge to write so I typed up another chapter for all you wonderful readers! I have to say I was very encouraged by all the reviews I received saying they were sad to see the story put on hold. Oh and you see this was my first fanfic, so earlier I wasn't quite sure how the whole review thing worked but now that I'm "experienced" I would like to apologize for not posting these review responses earlier. Thanks for your patience!

Wahinegurl- Yay! I'm glad you like it! I try to make it so the characters don't get to OOC. Many thanks to you my faithful reviewer!

The Hidden Girl- Lovely reviewing! It's nice to know everybody's in character because that seems to be one of the hardest things to keep constant in a fanfic I've noticed. Sorry I put it on hold but I hope all the new chapters I'm going to post will make up for it!

ThunderDragon- Thanks for reviewing! Yes Starfire always seems to manage to do something quite embarrassing for her teammates! Hope you like this chapter!

Hanita-chan- Glad you like it and thanks for reviewing. I'm planning on updating frequently now so check back soon!

Regrem Erutaerc- Thanks for all your wonderful suggestions! They have been quite helpful and I have to say I really enjoyed reading those fanfics you mentioned. I am going to involve a lot of Raven's emotions and I'll probably lean towards having quite a variety of them (I would think Raven's mind would be quite complicated). As for the cloak lightening idea I might have it happen at the end since I already have a plot pretty well made out and the cloak wouldn't fit in too well. Thanks for reviewing and taking the time to throw out some suggestions! I really appreciate it! Hope you like this next chapter and sorry for putting it on hold for so long!

BolenPUCR- Yah so far the bikini part has been the most popular and so it shall have another appearance in the chapter following this one (hehe). Glad I could make you laugh cause that's what I'm here for! Thanks for reviewing and I hope you like this next chapter!

And now onto the story!

Chapter 7

In Which Raven Experiences Rush Hour on the Elevator and Decapitates Beastboy Soon After

"So where are we going first?"

"Buffet!"

"Pool!"

"No way man we are definitely going to check out the buffet. There's a plate full of goodies calling my name."

"Nuh uh dude! We have to go check out the party going on upstairs! Just think…all those girls in bikinis…"

'SLAP!'

"Ooow! What'd I do!"

"Pervert…."

Raven watched Beastboy rub his sore cheek as they walked down the hallway. They had somehow managed to get everyone together for their little tour through the ship. Robin was even able to calm Starfire down by 'calling' Titan's East and giving them a piece of his mind about what had happened with Silky. Everyone thought it was hilarious when afterwards Starfire had thanked Robin by giving him a kiss on the cheek. He had proceeded to turn bright red and a glazed look came over his eyes. It was obvious he had it bad for Star although you wouldn't be able to get him to admit it. Now as they strolled around the ship Cyborg and Beastboy were trying not to laugh as Starfire and Robin held hands behind them.

"Oh grow up." Said Raven but she couldn't help thinking it was about time those two got together.

"Aw Raven, you're just jealous aren't you? Do you want someone to hold your hand too?" asked Beastboy grinning at her accusingly. She glared back at him.

"Touch me and you won't live to see this ship leave harbor."

"So it's settled then, we're going to the buffet." Said Cyborg interrupting Raven's 10th death threat of the day.

"What! No way! Besides we can go eat anytime but the party won't be going on forever!"

"Oh yah, like there's going to be a deficiency of girls in bathing suits anytime soon."

Raven was getting sick of hearing about this issue so decided to settle it herself.

"Okay we can all go to the buffet to eat and…" she paused here and took a deep breath, "Beastboy can go upstairs and gape till his eyes fall out. Deal?"

"Hey I'm not going alone!"

"Then you're not going at all."

"Dude but this is the big kick off party! It's probably going to be awesome!

"No one's stopping you from going. As for me I don't do parties."

By this time they had reached the elevators and had stopped to make their decision. Robin and Star seemed to come out of their trance like state enough to participate in the conversation.

"I agree with Cyborg. We must receive nourishment so that we may have the energy to further explore this wondrous vessel!" said Starfire smiling.

"I'm with Star on this one too. Sorry Beastboy." Said Robin giving him an apologetic glance. Beastboy crossed his arms in frustration.

"Aw man you're just saying that cause you like Sta…." Robin cut him off with a glare that said shut it or I might accidentally spill the beans with your little love affair.

"Hehe, sure why not lets all go eat. The party's probably boring anyway." Raven did a double take. Did Beastboy just back down on an argument? That was news to her. Usually he was the one that refused to give up and the one who would argue till he was blue in the face. There had to be some underlying reason, but she decided to take as a gift of chance and let it slide before he chose to change his mind.

"Alright now that's what I'm talking about!" Said Cyborg stepping into the elevator which had now arrived and pressing the button labeled 8- Buffet, Dining Room, Scenic Patio. All the Titans pushed into the elevator and Raven caught the last glimpse of a few happy looking tourists rounding the corner before the doors slid shut before her. It was a slow ride going down since everybody seemed to have the same idea as them.

They stopped at about every floor and each time the door opened a new flood of people would somehow manage to cram their way into the elevator. At one stop a large middle age man in a Hawaiian shirt pushed his way in and ended up squashing Raven into the glass wall of the elevator. She stood there quite agitated while thoughts of various methods of destruction for the man in front of her passed through her mind.

Because of the crowd there was no communication between the Titans. In fact it seemed to Raven that Beastboy had completely disappeared until she felt a strange scuffling movement on her shoulder. Unable to turn her head, Raven managed to glance down and see a small green sparrow perched upon her. She glared at it with as much force as she could muster but the bird simply chirruped happily. She knew he was having a grand old time watching her struggle with the large tourist's backside that was pressing against her.

Thankfully however after a few moments the doors slide open once more and an avalanche of bodies came flooding out. They were soon followed a twittering green sparrow who landed gracefully and morphed into a green teenager before Raven's eyes.

"Well that was a pleasant ride!" He exclaimed happily. More than a few death glares were sent in his direction. After untangling themselves from the living mass lying upon the floor, the Titans headed towards a large doorway standing before them.

Inside they could see many people bustling about, carrying trays of various foods that ranged from hamburgers to elaborate dishes, to absolutely decadent looking desserts. Buffet tables lined the walls, their foods giving off steamy aromas and making even Raven's mouth water slightly. Over on the other side was a large glass window where tables were set up to allow the passengers to eat and enjoy a wonderful view at the same time. To the make the scene even more appealing, there was a large banner hung across the top of the door way that read 'FREE! All you can eat buffet!' Written in large red letters.

Raven turned to look at her team mates who looked just as fascinated as she felt. In fact a steady stream of drool was leaking from the corner of Cyborg's mouth. After a few moment of watching its progress down his face Raven cleared her throat to hopefully wake them from their daze.

"Well are we just going to stand here and stare at it or are we actually going to go in and eat?" As if a switch had been turned, all Titans suddenly rushed off into the room, leaving Raven behind in a cloud of smoke and dust. 'I guess that answered my question.' She thought grinning besides herself as she entered the crowded buffet in a more self restrained manner.

"Friend Raven! You must come at once! Come and see what has been prepared in our honor!" The girlish voice cut across the conversation filled hall and reached Raven's ears as she piled another helping of mashed potatoes onto her plate (everybody likes mashed potatoes!). She turned to see a hand waving at her from across the room. It was attached, as she already knew, to Starfire who wore a grin that seemed to blind Raven even from this distance.

Giving a last longing glance towards the mound of steaming potatoes before her, Raven floated through the crowd towards Star. As she neared it became apparent what had caused the Tamaranian's sudden excitement. For there, placed upon a glowing pedestal and surrounded by exotic flowers of brilliant colors, stood a beautiful detailed ice carving of….who would have guessed it….the Teen Titans. Starfire stood beside Raven with her hands clasped together before her and her eyes shining in delight.

"It is beautiful isn't it not Raven?" she asked breathlessly. Raven could only nod. Her eyes swept the sculpture and rested on the carving of herself. She was displayed in a standing stance, with her hood up and her left hand resting casually on her hip. Her cape was blown back by an invisible wind showing a trim figure and well filled out top that brought heat to her cheeks. Her other hand was stretched out before her, with the fingers forming what looked to be a significant symbol (although Raven in actuality had no clue whatsoever of what it was suppose to represent) and it was surrounded by chuck of ice carved out to look like fire.

She glanced briefly at the other Titans standing around her own figure and saw they were carved with equal skill. Her eyes rested for a moment on Beastboy who was portrayed also in a standing position by herself. His body was chiseled in a way that made him look thin yet muscular at the same time, giving onlookers the notion that he was somewhat handsome and well built. Raven had no idea that the reality was he looked that way mainly because of her own secret liking towards him. Of course her brain refused to admit that she thought he was rather good looking. She followed his figure lower and lingered for a few curious moments near the bottom of his torso, feeling the heat in her face return.

"Hey what are you looking at?" She jumped thinking that the ice statue of Beastboy had spoken to her, and quickly averted her eyes from where she had been staring. It was then that realized the voice had come from behind her.

"Oh friend Beastboy look at the beautiful carving of frozen water that has been done for us!" Exclaimed Starfire in another burst of passion. Raven turned to see Beastboy holding tray and munching on what looked like a half mutilated sandwich oozing chunks of tofu. She watched while he looked behind her, and Raven saw complete awe come into his eyes as he realized what Star had now been chattering on about.

"Duuuuuuude…." The sandwich fell from his limp hand and landed on the floor below with a sickening splat. Quickly Raven reached out and grabbed the tray before it could suffer a similar fate. As Raven stood there before the breathtaking ice sculpture, holding Beastboy tray while he examined the tribute with large eyes, another twinge of curiosity poked at the back of her mind.

Casually she glanced over towards the green boy and watched to see if he seemed to take interest in the carving of her. Raven couldn't help but think it showed her figure quite nicely and she wondered secretly if he thought the same. She watched his eyes and saw that they glanced from Titan to Titan, resting on each for a brief moment. His eyes flicked towards her own sculpture and had not a sudden dawning of embarrassed realization come upon her and had not she turned away in self disgust for her curiosity, Raven would have seen a certain light come into his eyes at the sight of Raven's ice self. A few moments later Beastboy turned away and looked at Raven with a smile. For a moment it looked like he was about to complement her.

"This ice carving thingy is awesome! I mean look at the muscles they put on me! You gotta admit Raven, I'm gonna be irresistible to the ladies." He smirked and Raven felt the anger boil within her for a reason she could not quite explain. Raven gave him a skeptical look and turned back the carving which had now begun to glow with a black energy. Beastboy and Starfire winced as they heard a crack and watched in concern as the black energy faded away once again.

"What just happened? It looks like its okay. Ha! You're powers didn't break it Raven." He raised his finger to point and laugh in victory at Raven, but at that moment the head of the Beastboy sculpture began to slide forward slowly before slipping completely off the neck and landing with a thud on the table. Beastboy's mouth fell open and his left eye began to twitch ever so slightly. He gaped like a fish out of water before managing to spit out a proper sentence.

"You decapitated me!" He cried out. Raven smirked in satisfaction.

"Your head was too big for your own good. See it looks much better now."

"But…but…you killed me!"

"You should be glad I haven't done that to the real you." Replied Raven setting down Beastboy's tray on a nearby table. Raven watched as Beastboy stepped forward and picked up the miniature sized version of his own head. He looked down at it with the expression of a sad child who has just lost his dog. She watched him set it back onto its proper place where it stayed for a few moments before falling once again, this time chipping off a pointed ear. Raven glanced over to look at Star who was oddly very silent.

"Oh for Christ's sake it was only an ice sculpture! It would have melted anyway!" Blurted out Raven in exasperation. Beastboy turned to glare at her (which was a look that was quite unusual coming from Beastboy) then whipped around and using his hand broke the head off Raven's figure. Raven stood there for a moment, stunned by his boldness, then as if to assure herself of what had happened, stepped forward to pick up her own head.

Suddenly a loud shout came from behind them. Both turned to see an extremely fat and extremely upset chef charging towards them, a meat cleaver swinging in his grasp. Raven analyzed the situation and decided that two teenagers holding the heads of a broken ice sculpture and looking at each other guiltily while an enraged psycho chef with an instinct to kill came closer every second was not a very good combination. Beastboy shot her a glance that told Raven he thought the same so both of the Titans took of running towards the exit.

They pushed through the throng of people frantically, ignoring the complaints shouted at their backs. A heavy 'thump' 'thump' 'thump' of footsteps could be heard from behind so Raven took flight and zoomed on through the door, down the steps, and into what seemed to be a vacant room.

Quickly she shut the door plunging the room into darkness. There she waited hoping that her breathing and heartbeat wouldn't give away her location to the chef she knew now stood outside the door. There was a snort, a mutter of curses and the heavy footsteps began to fade as the man abandoned his search and went back to the buffet hall. Raven breathed a sigh of relief. She was very thankful she still had all her limbs and appendages. Suddenly she became aware there was another rhythm of breathing besides her own and tentatively she called out in a whisper:

"Beastboy?"

"Yah I'm here."

"He's gone."

"Thank God. I thought he was going to turn us into meatloaf."

"I know the feeling."

"I don't think it's going to be safe to go back in." He said and Raven paused thinking wistfully of the mashed potatoes sitting dejected and abandoned on her tray somewhere.

"I suppose." She hesitated again, kicking herself for what she was about to say.

"Do you want to go up onto the deck to see the party?" There was an excited intake of breath.

"Really? You want to go?" He shouted in excitement.

"Keep you're voice down!" she hissed "No I don't. I'm just hungry and since we can't go back to the buffet, there should be some food at the party we can get."

"Sure Raven." Even in the dark, Raven could tell he was smiling.

"You don't honestly believe I would go and publicly humiliate myself just for the sake of doing it." Raven scoffed.

"Who says you're going to publicly humiliate yourself?"

"Whenever you're involved in the picture it usually happens believe it or not."

"Since when!" he whispered angrily.

"Where should I start? Oh how about the time you spilled barbeque sauce all over my hair."

"If Cyborg hadn't…"

"Or the time you kept pestering me and I ended up blowing up that bakery shop."

"Well you know I…"

"Or the time…"

"OKAY I GET IT!" He was breathing heavily from frustration now. Pleased to have her point acknowledged, Raven dropped the subject.

"Well I realize how much fun it must be to sit in a janitor's closet all day but personally I prefer somewhere that has a little more light and doesn't smell of mildew and old socks." Said Raven feeling somewhat awkward about being in a dark closet alone with Beastboy. It made her feel slightly foolish to be thinking such thoughts, but it seemed no matter how hard she tried to ignore the strangeness of the situation the idea still rose to her attention. Not to mention her hand was going numb from holding the head of her ice sculpture and the drips were making a wet spot on her shoe.

"Nothing's stopping you from leaving." Retorted Beastboy, still sour from their previous conversation. Raven ignored this and reached out with her free hand to open the door. As it swung open she was temporarily blinded by the sudden light. Raven stepped out, blinked a few times to clear her vision, and became aware that a few disapproving glances from passing people were thrown in her direction.

It was obvious what they were thinking. 'Two young people together in a closet. Hmm… let's consider the possibilities.' Raven's face felt hot and she knew it was probably a bright red. Out of the corner of her eye she saw that Beastboy's face and ears matched her own complexion. He caught her eye for a brief moment before they both looked away, a fresh wave of heat flooding their checks.

"Speaking of public humiliation…" She said in a forced monotone. Beastboy made a sound somewhere between a growl and a sigh showing that he wished to drop the subject. Raven walked over to the nearest trashcan at the foot of the steps, took one last fleeting glance of the ice head (whose nose had melted off), and tossed it in. She walked towards the elevator and heard Beastboy discard of his chunk of ice as well.

This elevator, unlike theirs was a regular one. It seemed only the ones in the big entry hall were made of glass. She pressed the up arrow and didn't have to wait long until the doors opened before her. The ride up was pretty uneventful. It was made in complete silence as each of the two Titans contemplated their own thoughts on what had occurred, hoping (in Beastboy's case for he did not know if mind reading was on Raven's list of super powers) and quite grateful that the other could not read them.

Ravenat the moment, wasbusy mentally beating her head against a brick wall. Her emotions were all in a flutter with Happy singing a very out of tune version of Hallelujah and Embarrassment sending her worrisome messages of what people could have thought was going on in the closet. Not to mention, Love and Rage were having quite a row in the out of bound part of her mind. Love, she could feel was busy defending Beastboy while Rage was shouting at the top of her voice vile words about him and his behavior. Not to mention rattling on about world domination by evil forces.

Doing her best to forget the past, Raven turned to the future and found it didn't look much brighter than the janitor closet she had just been hiding in. Right now she was on her way to a party with Beastboy. She would end up sitting alone in some dark corner, glaring at anybody who dared to pass near her, while Beastboy would go mingle with the crowd and occasionally do something stupid like try to get her involved. It had never failed over the past 2 years she had known him. As they rose higher Raven was sure things couldn't get worse. The door opened and Raven stepped out expecting to see the pool but instead found herself back on the floor where their rooms were.

"Why are we here?" She asked in a bored tone. Beastboy looked at her like she had asked a dumb question.

"To change of course." He said ignoring her look of confusion and walking off towards the rooms.

"Define change." She walked behind him, struggling to keep up with his fast pace until she decided to float instead. It cause quite a few stares from a family they passed by.

"Change into our swimsuits of course! You don't think I'm going to a pool party in this getup." He said gesturing at his normal attire. Raven stopped midway down the hall.

"Hold up. First of all I don't even want to go to this party, and now you expect me to wear a bathing suite?" She said each word clearly and evenly, struggling to suppress the ever increasing urge to scream.

"Well everyone else will be. Come on Raven! It won't kill you to wear one." He stopped and turned to face her.

"No but it might just kill you." She said through clenched teeth. He smiled weakly and shrugged.

"You don't have to, but I'm just saying you might look a little out of place."

"Look who's talking." They continued walking and Raven entertained the thought of wearing the bikini. As both teens reached their rooms Raven let out a sigh of defeat. Maybe things could get worse.

"Okay fine I'll wear the stupid thing." She said. Beastboy beamed at her.

"See you in five!" He piped and with that unlocked the door, rushed in, and slammed it shut behind him. Raven stood there for a moment staring at the closed door before shouting, "But I'm wearing a cover up you hear!" If he did, Beastboy didn't reply. Raven brought a hand to her forehead. If she had a headache now and she could only imagine what it would be like after the party.

A/N- Well there you go. Please review and let me know what you think! It was a little hard getting back into the story so I hope the writing style doesn't sound sorta weird compared to the other chapters. And to give you something to do in the meantime and to encourage you to review here's a poll:

So we've had a season about Cyborg a season about Robin (sorta) a season about Terra and a season about Raven. Would anybody care to take a poke at who season five will mostly revolve around? Let me know!

Since the toasters were quite popular I am now giving away free BB/Rae shipper buttons to my wonderful reviewers (please remember the pins are sharp so don't hurt yourselves or poke an eye out or something). Thanks and I'll update soon!
