Hola! This is thugette90 AKA Christi! Have u missed meeee? I know u have! Yes, it has been an EXTREMELY long time since I've updated I know. But I have been like SO SO amazingly busy lately (damn u Ms. Williams and ur assigning 8 things due in one dayness.) BUT N E WAYZ! I have received my first negative comment a while ago and it seriously depressed me 4 like a week. It's not very long, just straight forward, and mean. Well I dunno maybe it was supposed to b constructive criticism or sumthin but I TOTAlLY DID NOT take it that way. And like, ya know how if you sign as an anonymous, u can create a different name for every story u review rite? Well I was like I wonder what B.L Hater stands for? Then my mind said…B.L…B…Brotherly…L…Luv?…ouch. Maybe it doesn't stand for that. I dunno. But I hope it doesn't. That would suck. Well yea between updates ive been to forensics competitions, all county chorus, wrote a civic oration speech, had to read a book, TONZ of homework, and this lame-ass Sunday school retreat thingy. Cuz I'm like catholic and I had to go to this place in Smithfield for 3 days straight. But I did get 2 flirt with this dude I like the ENTIRE weekend and see him get all sweaty…and…hot…and…wait what was I talking about?…o yeah! Well now things are SORTA starting to calm down thank God, and I can spend more time on Fanfics! Yay! Oh yeah, anyways here's my 1st negative review…

B.L. HtER: Work on peoples aditudes. Some of the way they were saying things did not fit them at all. Oh Yeah stop making Robin sound like an idiot

I guess I'm over-reacting, but still. It'z jus like a big slap in the face because like it was THE WHOLE POINT that Raven was OOC cuz thas how BB would kno that she liked Nightfire, which also leaves room 4 Raven's emotions to go haywire to create like a comedy-kinda-thing in further chapters. And when the reviewer said 2 stop makin Robin b an idiot, again it's like romance/HUMOR people! And I wanted to show (with Raven and Robin) how differently people act when they fall in love or have a crush or wut ever, so all the OOCness was totally on purpose 4 those reasons. BUT …

Here are a few stories that I have read that I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE LOVE LOVE WITH! If u like romance and teen titanz, these stories should definitely b read!

"Date for a Debt" by Riles (ONE OF THE BEST STORIES EVER!)

"The Mighty Titan" by anna-neko

"Normal Teenage Life" by Queen-of-Azarath

THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO EARTH BLUES BABY

WHO POSSIBLY HAD MORE OF A HAND IN WRITING THE PLOT OF THIS CHAPTER THAN ME! LOL

The next morning was cloudy and cold. The heavy chill in the breeze brushed against the shore surrounding Titans Tower. All was silent within the household until…

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" an anonymous and girly scream echoed.

Within a few moments, the team assembled in the living room ready to battle. Then they followed the sound to the unlikely source…the bathroom. Robin opened the door slowly and cautiously, signaling the others to follow.

"TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF! TURN IT OFF!" came a voice from the shower.

"Brother Ryan? Is that you?" Starfire asked as she curiously stepped forward.

"YES! YES! TURN THIS DAMN THING OFF NOW!" Ryan screamed angrily trying to open the shower door with no luck.

The Titans concluded from the overwhelming amount of steam and heat, that he had turned the temperature all the way to hot. Robin smiled evilly to himself. He looked out a nearby window. The sun suddenly came out more vibrant than ever as if God himself were saying, "Your welcome Robin." …Today seemed promising.

After ten minutes and 2 tubes of burn ointment, the Titans returned to the living room. Ryan's once sexy tan glow was now replaced by a lobsterish color. He sat down on the couch in pain.

"What in the hell took you so long Cardinal? Ya know, it almost seemed like the water got hotter when you…helped." Ryan said in suspicion.

"My bad." Robin replied trying his best to suppress a grin, but failing miserably.

Robin, in an uncharacteristically good mood even ignored the whole 'Cardinal' ordeal, and decided to suggest going out for pizza.

A while later, the 6 arrived at "Sino's Pizza", a small but pleasant little pizza parlor in the middle of town. Ryan looked around in wonder at the sports memorabilia in the restaurant. Utterly confused, he asked,

"What in the Vegan galaxy is a noo york-guy-ant and noo-jersee net?"

"Dude, are you serious? That's New York Giants and New Jersey Nets. They're football and basketball teams." BB explained.

(A/N: OK, I don't actually know WHERE Jump City is located, but it's my story, and in it, Jump City is in the New Jersey New York area cuz I'm familiar with that area. Ok, back 2 the story."

"Oh. I …see. And what is football and basketball exactly?"

BB gave a light chuckle, put his arm on Ryan's shoulder and said,

"Ryan, Ryan, Ryan. Me and Cy have like SO much to teach you bro."

Nightfire looked at the green human like he was crazy.

"I KNOW you ain't touchin' me."

Raven sighed dreamily. Was he perfect or what? Hot AND mean. Sigh.

THUGETTE90RULEZTHUGETTE90RULEZTHUGETTE90RULEZ

About an hour later, the 6 finished up their meal. Conversations ranged anywhere from explaining (or at least attempting) what exactly pepperoni is made of, to many different Earth sports (which was mostly carried on by Beast Boy and Cyborg). Now, Nightfire may be an alien, but he isn't stupid. Throughout the meal, his pure, precious, little sister and that sorry excuse for an earthling had been …ugh…flirting. It came in many forms and not so subtle I might add. Giggling when no joke was made, glances back and forth, adoring smiles. It was sickening. No way was this gonna continue under Ryan's watch. So he decided to play his new-found favorite game entitled, 'Make Robin as uncomfortable as possible'

"Ya know Finch, earth ways are still very confusing. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?" Nightfire asked innocently, his intrigued gazed moving from the pizza crust to Robin.

Robin gave him a questioning look. He sounded genuinely…nice. Ok something was definitely wrong. He slowly nodded his head and took a long sip of his Sprite.

" I've always wondered. Is sex on Tameran the same as sex here on Earth?"

Robin instantly spit out the Sprite all over the table. He inhaled deeply almost taking the straw with him. Robin began to stutter uncontrollably.

"W-wwww-well—I-I-I would't—kn-n-o-w." he said trying desperately to get his heart rate back to normal.

" Oh, I see. Not getting any huh?"

"Brother Ryan, now you know perfectly well that it is…I think. Right?…Uh…Robin?" Starfire added, now wondering about it herself.

By this time Robin was a deeper red than was probably healthy. The other three Titans just stared, their eyes wide in shock. Robin's eyes frantically searched the room thinking of any possible way to get out of this situation. Now Robin is known for his brilliant, well thought out plans. And now was no different…ok maybe a little.

" Ummm…w-well you, you see Star…uh…I-uh…I have to use the bathroom." Robin said quickly, his voice cracking more and more with each word before he jet out of his seat and into the men's room.

Robin splashed the cool water over his flushed face a few times before looking at himself in the mirror, reassuring himself,

'Alright Robin. Just calm down. Deep breaths. You've battled giant monsters, psychos, even Slade. I think you can handle Star's older brother.' The key word in that sentence being 'think' mind you. So Robin took one last and very deep breath before returning to the table.

Robin entered looking as if the whole ordeal never happened and said pleasantly,

" Ya know, it's such a nice day outside I think we should go for a walk in the park."

"Glorious! Oh, brother you will love the park! It is most beautiful!" Starfire boasted, clasping her hands together.

Robin then paid the bill, and left a few extra bucks for the waiter. Nightfire eyed the money oddly and was planning on embarrassing Robin about his poor math skills, when the waiter came up to the table and took the money. At that instant, Ryan grabbed the waiter by the collar, his eyes glowing a dangerous blue.

"Listen buddy! Just because bird brain over there doesn't know how to count, doesn't mean you have the right to take the rest of the money! Got it!"

"B-b-but- S-sir-" the petrified waiter began.

"SHUT IT!" Nightfire screamed in the poor man's face.

The Titans stood at the door in utter terror. Starfire cautiously walked up to her brother. She was already quite aware of his temper.

"Umm brother? The extra money was INTENDED for the waiter. It is for him doing a good job. It is called a tip."

Ryan blinked a few times before dropping the waiter to the floor and saying nicely,

"Oh I see. Sorry for the inconvenience. Ok, let's go to the park thingy."

Nightfire then happily walked out the door humming a tune he had heard on what Earthling's call 'MTV'.

Raven shook her head slowly, "Aliens."

Short I know I know…BUT IT'S AN UPDATE! YAY 4 ME! AND I already have ideas for the next chapter which will be the park, so it DEFINITLY won't be as long of a wait as last time! I PROMISE! LoL. Not too much fluff this chapter, cause I wanted to get some humor in here, which I hope you liked. The next chapter will actually be mostly BB/Rae fluff cause I've been getting a lot of requests for that so yea. NEXT CHAPTER BB/RAE FLUFF! Ur requests will NOT go unheard! And remember, read and review! Compliments and constructive criticism are HIGHLY welcome! FLAMEZ R NOT!

Luv Alwayz
