Disclaimer: ha!

Chapter twenty-five! Yessss, the numbers are getting high! Enjoy! I couldn't resist putting the movie night scene in here. It's just too funny to imagine all the clips. This chapter is going to be short and pointless, but it was fun for me. The next chapter will be a serious one, don't worry.

I'm sorry if this story is boring. I promise the next chapter will be very relevant to the storyline.

Woo! I got TT socks! They have Robin on them! They're so cool!

"Whoa Cyborg, when you said we were all going to go get a pizza, I didn't realize you meant we were all going to get a pizza," Robin said. The five Teen Titans were sitting at a table at the pizza place, close to the construction zone where workers were still repairing the ripped-up street. They each had a pizza of their own (Beast Boy's with soy cheese).

"Well, we need to gorge ourselves more often," Cyborg said, taking a large bite of his pizza, which was covered with ham, sausage, and pepperoni. Starfire's was a cheese pizza sprinkled with mint chocolate chips, Beast Boy's was a plain pizza with soy cheese, Raven's was a strange combination of olives and pineapples, and Robin's was the standard pepperoni. And why am I telling you what kinds of pizza they got? Do you care?

"You're right," Beast Boy said ecstatically through a mouthful of soy cheese. "We're superheroes, right? We need the extra energy. Thanks for the pizza, Cy."

"No problem, BB," Cyborg said. "Only the best for the Teen Titans, right?"

"Right," Beast Boy said.

"This is great and everything, but I want to know one thing…what happens when none of us can finish the pizza and there isn't enough room in the fridge to store it?" Raven asked. She had changed into a fresh leotard before they left, and was feeling much less exposed with her stomach covered.

"Who says we're not gonna finish?" Cyborg asked, taking another large bite.

"Friends, I elect that we participate in the celebration of Venlucks once again tomorrow for Friend Raven. The events of today were quite unpleasant, and I was worried she was going to lose her life," Starfire said. (don't worry. I'm not going to waste your time actually writing about it)

"Again?" Robin asked.

"Yes," Starfire said.

"Alright. Um…Raven, would that be OK with you, then?" Robin asked.

Raven shrugged. "I guess. It'll give us another glamorous bracelet, anyway," she said sarcastically, causing Beast Boy to giggle under his breath.

None of the other Titans seemed to be even slightly phased by the fact that he and Raven were now a couple, which made him wonder if maybe they had all known it was going to happen from the very beginning. (that was a totally pointless scene. I apologize)

"I told you we wouldn't finish," Raven said as the five of them walked into the living room.

"Save it," Cyborg said to her, punching her lightly on the arm. "We will finish it…eventually."

"Hey guys, who votes for movie night?" Beast Boy said excitedly, whipping out a bag of unpopped microwave popcorn. "All in favor, raise your hands!"

Obligated by his enthusiasm, the other four raised their hands in unison.

"Great!" he said. "I'll make the popcorn!"

"I'll take care of the soda. Can you three agree on a movie to watch without anyone losing an eye?" Robin asked. The white-cloaked demon, the red-headed alien, and the half-robot looked at each other all at once.

"I think we can come to a compromise," Cyborg said, winking.

"Good," Robin said, following Beast Boy into the kitchen.

When they were both busily preparing food, Robin spoke.

"Beast Boy, I wanted to thank you," he said.

"For….?" Beast Boy asked, watching the popcorn bag start to swell.

"For helping me with Starfire. I would never have been able to tell her how I feel without your help."

"It was no problem. If it weren't for you, I never would have been able to realize how I really feel about Raven," Beast Boy said.

"Well, I'm glad we could help each other out," said Robin, placing another six-pack of soda on the table. "And I'm glad you didn't try to kill yourself again, too. You aren't ever going to do that again, right?" he asked sternly.

"Of course not," Beast Boy said.

"I want to be sure. A lot of people relapse and attempt suicide again when they seem to be feeling normal again…for various reasons," Robin said.

"Dude, I'm not gonna do that. Yeah, I still miss Terra, but I could never leave Raven here alone. I could never leave any of you guys here knowing that your best friend was stupid enough to tale the coward's way out," Beast Boy said. "I won't do it again, I promise."

"Good," Robin said, waiting for the microwave to beep and Beast Boy to get the bag out before they headed for the living room. "Did we decide on something?" Robin asked as they walked in and sat down on the sofa.

"Sure did," Cyborg said, smiling.

"Yes, Robin, we have chosen a splendid movie," Starfire said.

"This is going to be amusing," Raven said, sitting down next to Beast Boy as Cyborg pushed the tape into the VCR.

"What is it?" Beast Boy asked.

"You'll see," Raven told him, resting her head on his shoulder. Beast Boy put his arm around her and looked at the screen. There was a moment of static, and then Robin appeared on the screen. Raven was standing a few feet behind him with a rather devilish smile on her face. They both looked very slightly younger.

The Robin on the screen chuckled softly. "OK, here we are waiting for Cyborg to come back from picking up a pizza. He's the new member of the team, and you know what that means!"

"It means he has to be initiated," Raven said. "In a horribly embarrassing way."

"Right you are, Raven," Robin said, smiling evilly. " And we're getting it on tape. I hear him! Quick, get everything ready!" he pulled out a large sequined red dress and a curly blonde wig. Raven picked up the camera and held it steady. There came the sound of Cyborg whistling nearby, getting closer and closer. He then came into view.

"Hey Robin, Raven. Why you got a video camera? What are you…doing with that dress…" Cy asked, backing away slightly. Robin lunged forward with the dress, and Cyborg took off at a run. Robin chased him, and Raven followed close behind with the camera, capturing the scene of Robin chasing Cyborg down, getting him on the ground, and getting the dress and wig on him.

"OK, Cyborg. Now, we have a little treat for you," Robin said.

And then the scene faded out, and came back to one of Cyborg walking back and forth across main street in the wig and dress. The camera turned every once in a while to Robin, who was laughing uncontrollably. Finally he stopped, and stood poised before the camera. "And that's how Teen Titans are made," he said, unconscious of Cyborg coming up behind him silently with a baseball bat.

The five teenagers on the sofa were laughing hysterically, spilling popcorn on the floor in their frenzy of giggles.

"Dude, Cy, you were wearing a dress!" Beast Boy giggled violently. "That is priceless!"

"Yeah, laugh it up BB. Your initiation tape is next," Cyborg said menacingly. Beast Boy stopped giggling dead in his tracks.

"Don't get so high and mighty. I remember how bad yours is," Raven said, kissing his cheek absentmindedly.

"So do I," Beast Boy said miserably. "It still gives me nightmares. Why didn't Star have that bad of an initiation?"

"Because Robin had a little crush on her," Raven said. Robin muttered something and shrugged.
