I think you all know my weird writing styles now, with what means what.
For those of us who forgot:
"dialogue"
'thoughts'
Disclaimer: I (yet again) do not own TT. (this is really starting to get old)
And on we read fellow fans!
The three couples danced the night away, emotion swirling in the air. Beastboy and Raven forgot the rest of the world in each other's arms. Beastboy took Raven back to her flat and dropped her off. The two shared a passionate goodbye kiss in the elevator. Raven entered the flat to find a very smug Demeter sitting at the kitchen table.
"What are you smirking about," Raven asked, hanging up her jacket.
"Nothing," Demeter said, "It's just funny. From what you tell me that was only five years in the coming." Raven looked over her shoulder and glared.
"So," she asked.
"I'm just glad you found someone," Demeter replied, "You know I worry about you."
"Yeah, well," Raven replied, "You've got someone you won't tell me about. I worry every time you go out to meet him. At least you know my guys."
"Guy," Demeter corrected, Raven had never brought anyone back to the apartment, "As far as I know you haven't been on a date in five years."
"That's my business Demeter," Raven said, "You've never even brought anyone back for me to meet. I don't even know your past."
"And you're just a wide open plain," Demeter retorted, the two seemed at odds, but they never were. Demeter and Raven were like sisters, but they enjoyed bickering. It kept them both on their toes like any friendly sparring match. Raven and Demeter laughed, Raven was just too happy to keep up the match. When they calmed Demeter was happier for Raven then Raven was for herself. "Well, you must be head-over-heels if he's already got you giving up our bickering."
"Yeah," Raven said, reflecting on the night and how she felt in his arms, she smiled. "I guess he does make me feel like that. Ever felt that way?"
"Once," Demeter said, "You'll meet him. You know how I am about guys."
"Yeah," Raven said, "We both have reasons to be wary." Demeter's and Raven's past remained a verbal mystery, but both knew that the other had scars in their early life, and not the ones they each sported on their skin.
"I guess this is a funny time for the past to come up," Demeter said, "The worst experience at the best time."
"Yeah," Raven agreed, "It's funny how that happens." Raven and Demeter looked into their teacups, caught in thoughts of the past and the future. It was always funny how people were connected.
'It is funny,' Raven thought to herself, 'Star and I were like sisters, but so are Demeter and I. Well, Star and I are tied by the time we spent together. After all, we were the only two girls on the Titans until Jinx came, but that was later, much later. Demeter and I are tied by so much more, experiences, personality, kind of. We both have dark pasts that will haunt us for the rest of our lives. Still, we're living pretty well. It's strange, five years ago I couldn't show emotion. Star helped me though mastering my powers, Demeter helped me though mastering my emotion by helping me defeat my father. It's funny how life leads you to those who you will help and who will help you. I guess life's just like that.'
Raven and Demeter spent the rest of the night in silence, just thinking. They had done it before, there was nothing to say, they rarely talked about their pasts. It was a strange relationship, sisters who did not chat and were not related in any way.
OK, I know this chapter was really short, but I wanted a chapter devoted to the relationship between Raven and Demeter. It will come into greater light as the story continues. Just remember, Demeter is not all she seems (remember the scar on her neck). Keep reading, I'll update soon.
Review please, I welcome all criticism, praise, and flames.

P.S. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled on the 17th (ouch) so I'll probably be unconscious until the 19th. I probably won't update until after that. Bear with me here, I don't want them out.
