Wow, it's been over two months since I reviewed. I am still waiting for Prophecy to air. Sad, isn't it? Has anyone seen Troq? That was the worst episode ever! Yeah, I know that Val-Yor called Raven "Sunshine" for the irony, but that was horrible!

Anyway, here it is!

Raven awoke with a start. She looked around. "Wait, wasn't I just falling off the tower?" She thought to herself.

She was lying in her bed. She looked down at herself. She wasn't wet or anything. She then heard light taps at her door. She looked at the clock. It was 2:17. "Great, visitors at 2 am" she thought to herself.

She swung open the door. Robin stood there in a white tank top and red pajama pants. "Are you okay?" he said worried.

She looked at him strangely. "Yeah- why wouldn't I be?" she said.

"I don't know…it's just that I had this dream. You had a destructive emotion named Love, and she threatened to kill me if you showed affection. So, you jumped off the roof and drowned," He said.

Raven opened her eyes widely. "Okay, that's interesting," she said to herself.

"What?" Robin said.

She placed her hand on her head. "It's just that…I had the same dream before I woke up," she said looking Robin in the eyes.

Robin gasped. "Whoa, major freaky!" he said. Robin never heard of anything like this.

"Um-sure. I'll look it up today to see if it means anything. But now, I'd like to go back to bed, thank you," she said as she half-smiled, and shut the door. Robin wandered back to his room.

Raven got up the next morning around 10:30. She wandered out in her pajamas. The rest of the group sat at the table, digging into a plate of chocolate chip, blueberry, buttermilk and soy waffles. Raven took a seat next to Robin, and grabbed a blueberry one.

After he finished, Robin stood up. He grabbed his plate and placed it into the sink. "I received a call from Bruce, so I got to head over there. I'll probably be back around 5. Later," he said before he walked out the door.

The other five nodded. "So, what do we all got planned to day?" Cyborg said.

"Well, Beast boy and I are going to head out, maybe go to the carnival that's in town," Terra said as she slipped her arm into Beast Boy's. Terra had apologized to Beast boy a while ago, and this was there first outing alone together since that dreadful night.

"Wow, that sounds awesome! Mind if Starfire and I join you?" Cyborg said. Starfire and he had been going out pretty much since after Starfire and Robin had broken up, which was almost a year ago.

"Rae, you wanna come with?" Beast Boy asked her. Raven shook her head.

"Thanks, but I need some time to myself," she said before she placed her plate in the dirty dishes pile, and walked upstairs.

After she took a shower, she pulled on her leotard. She then combed her hair. It had grown even longer in the past month or so, so it was now reaching her waist.

She opened her window, but then remembered it was kind of cold out. Even though they lived in California, it was still pretty chilly in mid-December. She shut it as soon as the winter-y chill made her shiver.

She then walked over to her tall narrow bookcase. Among her ancient spell and magic books, she had a fairly new one; Dream Reading for Dummies.

She pulled it out and set it upon the table. She flipped open the cover and read down the table of contents. She ran her finger down it looking for what she needed.

"Ah-ha!" she said to herself as she saw the heading DREAM MEANINGS. She flipped to the page and began reading. She found the FAQ "What if I have the same dream as someone else?"

She then began to read the little blurb. "If you and a friend have the same dream, it's probably a coincidence. But if it begins to happen more and more, say at least 5 times a week, it has much more meaning. This will only happen between a male and a female. If they have the same dream, it is seen that they are meant to be together forever."

Raven gasped at this. What? That was silly! Raven and Robin had fling, sure, but they were supposed to be together forever?

Raven shook the thought out of her mind. It had only happened once. This said it happen pretty much all the time.

She sighed, and slammed the book shut. She wandered around her room. She was bored now. She looked at her clock. It was 1:30. Robin was due home for another four hours, and the others has left just a little while ago. So, pretty much, she was by herself.

She went downstairs. She walked over to the couch and grabbed the remote for the TV. She flipped through the channels, not really looking at anything. She then turned it off, and took a deep breath. She was going to do something she hoped she never would have to again. If they realized she did this, they'd mock her forever.

Raven grabbed a control from the Game Station. She flipped the on switch, and looked at the blindingly colored screen. She had no idea how to play, so she just began pressing random keys.

"Never thought I'd see Raven playing video games," a voice said from the door. Raven dropped the controller. She turned as her cheeks became red. Robin stood at the door.

"I was bored. I couldn't help myself. So…what was the big news from Bruce?" Raven said, trying to switch the subject.

"Bruce asked us if the Titans would be willing to hold a Christmas party for his people here on Christmas Eve. His house is being remodeled. He said he'd pay us, so I had to agree," Robin said.

"How much money are we talking about?" Raven said mischievously.

"All I'm going to say is that we'll have enough food for the next 2 years," he said laughing. "Where are the others?" he said.

"Terra and Beast Boy and Cyborg and Starfire went on a double date to the carnival. So, once they left, I found the book I needed. About the dreams; it means nothing if it only happens once. If it happens more than once, well, we won't go there yet. We'll just have to keep telling each other what happens," Raven said shrugging.

Robin nodded. "Look, do you want to go do something? Maybe go down the day club?" he said.

"Right now, I'd even be willing to go to the mall I'm so bored," she said.

They both headed upstairs to get dressed. Robin was wearing black jeans with a dark blue tank top that said "Teen Titans" in graffiti-like writing and blue sneakers. Raven was wearing black tank top with a red pair of capris and black skater shoes. Her long hair was in a high ponytail. They both walked out, arm in arm. They then hopped onto Robin's motorcycle and drove off.

They stopped in front of a club called The Underground. It was a club at night, but during the day, it was more of a restaurant. They had pool tables and karaoke machines.

"Why are we here, anyway?" Raven asked.

"I'm not exactly sure. This was the first thing I thought of. Let's just go in, have a look around," he said, pulling her arm.

They walked in to the red painted club. There were a few people there. They were sitting at small purple tables. Up on stage, a young girl was performing a horrible rendition of "I'm a Slave 4 U".

Raven cringed as she heard this. They went and sat down at a table. "You should go up and do that," Robin said with a smile on his face.

Raven gave him a strange look. "Now why would I do that?" Raven said.

"Because if you don't I'll tell Beast boy that you played Game Station. You'll never hear the end of it," Robin said with an evil grin on his face.

Raven stared at him. "You…are never going to get me up there," she said.

Robin pulled out his communicator. "I could easily tell Beast boy right now," he said.

Raven's face showed defeat. "I'm going to kill you," she said, jabbing him in the shoulder with her finger.

She took a deep breath, and walked up toward the stage. She then began to flip through the choices of songs. She then pulled out Christina Aguilera's "Fighter", and placed it into the machine.

She then grabbed the mike, and looked out at the crowd. Robin gave her a thumbs up, while she shot him a death glare. The words then began to glow on the screen. She opened her mouth, and hoped she wouldn't suck that bad.

Well I, thought I knew you thinking, that you were true
Guess I, I couldn't trust called your bluff time is up
Cause I've had enough
You were, there by my side always, down for the ride
But your, joy ride just came down in flames

Cause your greed sold me out of shame, mmhmm

After all of the stealing and cheating

You probably think that
I hold resentment for you
But, uh uh, oh no, you're wrong
Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
I wouldn't know
Just how capable I am to pull through
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Never saw it coming, all of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in on a good thing before I realize your game
I heard, you're going around playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin feeling I'm the one to blame
Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh

After all of the fights and the lies cause you're wanting to haunt me
But that won't work anymore, no more
It's over
Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
Cause it

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

How could this man I thought I knew
Turn out to be unjust so cruel
Could only see the good in you
Pretend not to know the truth
You tried to hide your lies, disguise yourself
Through living in denial
But in the end you'll see
YOU-WON'T-STOP-ME

I am a fighter and I
I ain't goin' stop
There is no turning back
I've had enough

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
Makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter
Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
It makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

Raven then stopped, placed the mike back, and walked off as fast as possible. When she came out, the few people in the audience were on their feet, clapping and whistling.

Raven quickly walked to where Robin sat, mouth open. "Wow," he muttered.

"I didn't think I was that bad," Raven said defensively.

"Bad? What are you talking about! Raven, you have a killer set of pipes. That was amazing!" Robin exclaimed.

Raven felt herself blush. "Um, do you think we could go? I'm not that bored anymore," she said softly.

Robin nodded. When they walked to his motorbike, Robin turned and faced Raven. "Raven, what you just did…I don't think I would have the courage to do that," robin said with a sheepish smile.

"Robin, don't even get me started on what you do that I would never be able to do," she said with a laugh.

"But seriously, you have a lot of courage," Robin said sternly.

Raven blushed again. "Robin…I would appreciate it if we kept this as our little secret. I really don't want to tell the others," she said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"No problem," he said as he tossed her a helmet.

She grinned as she pulled it on. She then wrapped her arms around Robin's waist as they sped towards the large "T" standing in the horizon.

The next two weeks were very hectic. After letting the Titans know about the party, everyone began to go crazy. The house was always being cleaned or decorated. The guys were already out buying gifts for each other. Then, they realized that they'd have to save their money for outfits for Christmas.

Raven, Terra, and Starfire headed to one side of the mall one day as Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg headed to the other.

The three girls stepped into a formal dress store. The clerk greeted them, and showed them to the dresses. Starfire all ready had an armful of dresses. Terra kept looking, but found nothing she liked. Raven looked, but really didn't.

She just didn't want to shop. Until…she saw it. She saw it was the only one that was left. She grabbed the tag and prayed it was her size. She felt very happy as she saw the small blue "2" on the tag. She grabbed it off the hanger, and went to try it on. It fit perfectly.

The girls weren't going to show each other until they got home, so they tried to avoid each other.

Raven paid for it, and was thankful for the money Bruce had given them, for they spent most of it preparing.

The three girls met up with the boys later. They all held large bags as they walked out.

Once they arrived home, the girls met in one room. "Dear Friends, we need to see each other in our beautiful garments," Starfire squealed. They then took turns going into Starfire's bathroom and changing. Starfire came out first. Her dress was a pale blue. It was strapless and had a pale purple tulle skirt. It had small white flowers embroidered all over it, and all over the matching wrap.

"Wow, star, that looks amazing on you," Terra said,

"Yeah, you look good in blue," Raven said honestly. Then terra went in. She came out after. The short blonde wore a halter style pale pink dress. It had crinoline underneath which made it poof out. It had beads framing the shiny top part. She looked like a ballerina.

"Terra, that looks really good on you," Raven said.

"Yes, you look like a gromptharg and a half," Starfire said.

Terra turned to raven. "Is that good or bad?" Terra mouthed. Raven shrugged as she got up and grabbed her bag.

Terra soon stepped out and joined Starfire on her bed. Raven pulled the dress on and quickly did the zipper. She then looked at herself in Star's mirror. Her dress was a shimmery midnight blue color. It was a one-shouldered dress. As the dress reached the ground, it turned purple. The neck line was traced in a silver piping. Raven smiled at herself. As much as she couldn't believe it, she looked a lot like her mother. Even though thinking about Arella brought tears to her eyes, she still held her head high.

She then walked out. Starfire gasped and Terra's eyes popped out of her head.

"Raven…" was all Terra could get out. But that wasn't the case for Starfire.

"MY GOODNESS! Friend Raven, you look stunning. I have never seen someone look so pretty since the queen Flashfire. She looked like a real bloksedler!" Starfire said.

Raven smiled, then quickly went in and unchanged. When she got back to her room, she hung it up. Right by her closet was a calendar. She heard herself gasp as she saw today was the 22nd. The party was on Saturday, and it was Thursday. She didn't even have most of her shopping done. She was going to go out then, but she felt she had been to the mall enough today. She yawned, and lay down. Before she knew it, she was asleep.

The next day, Raven went shopping very early. She was back before anyone had even gotten up. She quickly shoved the stuff into her closet. The alarm then went off waking everyone up.

Raven ran downstairs. The six gathered around the monitor. Raven stopped short as she saw Slade there, with the red mark still emblazed on his forehead.

I'm going to end right here. I'll update again when the prophecy airs, which is in only two weeks.

I know Raven was a little OoC during the karaoke scene, but I wanted to put something like that in. She also probably wouldn't have chosen that song, but I chose it because 1.) I love that song and all of Christina's music and 2.) I thought it fit in with the whole "Raven taking over the world with Slade" thing. So, if you enjoyed it, let me know. If you didn't—YOU SUCK! (j/k)

Oh, and the dresses part? For Star's and Terra's, those happened to be what my older sister's prom dresses looked like. I just tweaked them a little. For raven's I chose the style because I like that kind, and I like the whole shading thing.

just when I thought that Raven and Robin were going to work out together after Birthmark, the stupid producers have to come up with this disgusting episode. In the upcoming episode Stranded, Starfire is referred to as Robin's girlfriend and they even hug! GROSS! YOU PRODUCERS SUCK TOO!
