Hey guys, sorry it took my so long to update. I had to move back into school (I'm in a military boarding school and I love it, so no military bashing around me please) and I just got my computer set up. Thankfully I have insomnia and writing is the only thing that relaxes me so I can update right away.

So, I want to say thank you to all my readers who I all love.

Special Thanks to:

Raven opened her eyes and saw a brilliant green arm around her. She smiled and turned over so she could snuggle to Beastboy more closely. She felt her back rub up against his chest and one of his legs slid slightly over hers. She felt so safe in his arms, like nothing could hurt her again. It was six, just like every other day. Raven gingerly moved away and replaced a pillow under his arm so he wouldn't wake up. She made her tea in the microwave, the kettle would wake um Dem and Beat. She drank it in silence and put in her headphones.

Solitudes was her favorite meditation recorder. They recorded nature sounds and usually Celtic or Scottish music. She slipped in her "Guardians of Atlantis" CD and let the calming sounds of the ocean feed her soul; it had been a long time since she needed to chant. Raven was so deep in trance that she did not even notice Beastboy and Demeter join her in meditation. They held the silence (OMG, Beastboy meditated of his own free will! Gasp) until eight in the morning, then Demeter woke Raven.

"Rea," she said, shaking her, "Rea, snap out of it." Raven opened her eyes and smiled.

"How long was I tranced," she asked.

"Probably close two hours," Beastboy answered, "You were deep when we came in at seven fifteen. Come on, I'll make breakfast." Beastboy cooked while Demeter and Raven showered. They were soon in, both clad in black robes that covered them from neck to floor. "Where's the party?"

"We just wear these when we don't feel like getting dressed yet," Demeter said, taking her pancakes and pouring massive amounts of syrup on them. "It's when we're to tired or lazy to care." Beastboy nodded and dug into his own food. They ate in silence and spent the rest of the morning just relaxing. Demeter played music on her keyboard; Beastboy watched some sports and Raven read in the circle of his arm. Eleven came around faster then the two would have liked.

"Crap," Beastboy said, "Star will kill us if we're late. Come on, let's go." Raven grabbed her bag (Beastboy has his in the car) and pulled her hair up into a high ponytail.

"I'll be back tonight," she said to Demeter, "Are you all right?"

"Yeah," Demeter said, "I'll call my guy and have him come over." Raven considered staying, but gave Demeter her space and left. Beastboy followed the directions Robin had given him the previous night and came to a rather large house. They were buzzed through the gate and saw Cyborg's car in the driveway. They parked and walked in. Star was wearing a beautiful red two-piece suit that was darker then a rose with a matching cover-skirt and some sandals. Star hugged the two and welcomed them to her house, leading them out back.

In the back of the house was a large stone patio with a barbecue and furniture. A small bar was set up next to the barbecue. There was a large pool that went as deep at fifteen feet and severl lounge chairs with a retractable shades. To the left of the pool were several changing rooms and storage cubes. The whole place was very warm and comfortable, as well as practical. Robin was setting up the bar in red trunks that were the same shade as Star's suit.

"Hey," Cyborg yelled, clad in blue trunks, "You're late." Beastboy shook his head and winked at Jinx.

"Traffic," he said. Jinx smiled and eyed Raven, she was wearing a dark purple bikini with a stripe of pink at her waistband and her hair was tied up like Raven's.

"Must have been," Jinx said, Raven blushed slightly and quickly went to change. Beastboy emerged in black trunks with green designs all over them. Raven appeared a second later and floored Beastboy (yet again). Raven was wearing a very small black bikini; the only decoration was a miniscule band of deep green at the waistline and below the bust. Her hair trailed down her back and she was barefoot. Beastboy took time to notice just how good Raven's legs were, they were slim and went right up, ending nicely at her slim hips. Her figure narrowed slightly and swelled to her shoulders. Her pale grey skin almost looked like a shocking white in the sun.

Cyborg and Robin gave a wolf-whistle and Raven blushed. Beastboy walked over to her, grabbed her and kissed her hard on the mouth. More whistles were emitted from Cyborg and Robin, as well as a few hoots and hollers. Beastboy did not let Raven go until Jinx pointed out that they were in the presence of others. Raven was blushing scarlet as she sat down with Beastboy's arm around her waist.

"Took you two long enough," Jinx said, her own husband's arm wrapped around her. "What was it, five years?" Beastboy nodded and kissed Raven's neck, sending a shiver down her spine. Robin came over and sat behind Star, loping his arm around her shoulders. They talked of old times and close calls before Cyborg finally decided it was to hot.

"I'm cooling off," he declared, offering his hand to Jinx, "Care to join me?" Jinx smirked and shook her head.

"Not right now," she said. Cyborg pouted a little, but then he offered his arm, rather comically to Robin, who took it as was rewarded with being thrown into the pool headfirst. He sputtered up for air to find a laughing Jinx and Star, a howling Cyborg and Beastboy, and a chuckling Raven.

"That wasn't funny," he said defiantly.

"You're right," Raven said, "It was hilarious." Cyborg and Beastboy only roared louder. Beastboy and Cyborg soon jumped in finding Robin there to splash them as they came up for air. They soon beckoned the girls in, who denied. Beastboy smiled, he went to their side of the pool and got out quietly. He jumped high and transformed into a whale, thoroughly splashing the girls. They all shrieked as their hair was soaked through along with the rest of them.

"Well," he said, "Come on, you guys are already drenched anyway." Jinx smiled and threw a spell that same some water turn into a cyclone and spin Beastboy in the air for a few minutes, then let him down with a splash. Then the girls all jumped in. Raven's hair came down in the process, swirling about her in a cascade of purple. Beastboy grabbed her hips and pulled her to him, kissing her soundly before gathering her in his arms. Robin smiled at Star, knowing that Beastboy was only making up for lost time and splashed them. Raven looked at Beastboy and smiled, he nodded. Quickly she linked her arms over her head and through his so that she could hold her body parallel. Then she kicked with all her might, drenching her old teammates. After the splash fight Cyborg got out of the pool to start the barbecue and the others continued to swim.

Raven felt the water swirl around her. She loved the water, was so warm and peaceful, but at the same time could destroy. She felt a pair of arms lace around her and a face nuzzle into her hair. She smiled and felt completely happy. A splash of water interrupted them.

"Sorry about that," Robin said, "But it's hard to get a beer when the bar's levitating." Raven blushed and swam over to the side, climbing out of the pool and braiding her hair. She tied it off and wrapped a black cover-up around her hips. Raven plodded over to Cyborg, it had been a while since she had talked to the man she regarded as an older brother.

"Hey Rea," Cyborg said, sipping his beer. He pulled one out of a nearby cooler (for instances when he's to lazy to reach for the bar) and handed it to her. Raven took it and popped the top with her powers.

"Hey Cy," she said, "It's been a while when it was just the six of us."

"Just like old time," Cyborg said, leaning against the counter, "There's sometimes when I miss the old days. You know, jumping off buildings, saving people, taking risks that were insane and laughing at them later."

"Sometimes," Raven agreed, "Now that we're all together, it's like old times."

"Not exactly," Cyborg said, indicating the newest relationship.

"Not really," Raven said, "I still loved him then. I just wasn't free to. After we defeated Trigon, I guess I can get more emotions."

"I'm glad for you Rae," he said, "I know he'd give his life for you. It tore him apart when you were attacked five years ago and yesterday. Jinx literally had to drag him away from you." Raven looked at her beer. "I'm not going to preach, Raven, but if you break his heart, it's never going to heal again. We're the only ones who really saw what he went through with Terra. It tore him up inside, I don't think he'll ever really get over her."

"I'm just glad he could move on," Raven said, "When Malichor betrayed me, I felt like me heart was shredded. If Beat felt a fraction of what I did, and he probably felt more, I'm glad he could move on."

"Still," Cyborg said, flipping the steaks, "I think his love for you got him through Terra's betrayal. The love you two share isn't the love he had with Terra, that was puppy love. What you guys have is deeper, and a little rarer."

"You seem like the philosopher today," Raven commented as Beastboy and the others got into a splashing contest. "Something bothering you?" Cyborg shook his head.

"Just a feeling," he said, "Like a spider crawling up your spine. You're not sure it's there, but you can feel it." The two stood in silence until Jinx summoned Cyborg back to the pool with her powers, laughing and screaming as he pulled her into his arms. Raven smiled as she felt a strong, green, pair slip around her own waist. Beastboy kissed her hair and inhaled her scent. The lavender smell of her hair and the press of her body against his felt so wonderful, he could get drunk on her scent. Raven shifted in his arms, twirling so that she could face him. She linked her arms around his neck and kissed him softly on the mouth. Soon everyone was dry and eating.

"Oh," Star said, lying on her side with Robin behind her, his arm about her waist. "It is just like our old days. Do you remember when we first did the 'going out'?" Robin nodded and kissed her neck, nuzzling his face into the princess's soft skin. Cyborg and Jinx left first, they had work the next day, Beastboy and Raven did not stay long after. Raven, still clad in swimwear, accompanied Beastboy to his flat, he had barely closed the door before she spun and jumped. Raven wrapped her left around him and planted one serious kiss on his lips.

Beastboy's eyes opened in shock as Raven kissed him with more passion then ever before. There was a brief moment of 'Holy Shit!' before he closed his eyes and deepened the kiss. He carried her over to the couch and pulled her on top of him on it. Raven pressed further, leaning his back against the couch. Then they realized, they were not alone. Ana Marie was there, all dressed up (well, kind of, she was really hanging out of her dress) with a look of shock on her face. Raven sighed.

"Was I unclear the last time we met," she asked, standing. "I told you that you were not to bother Gar again." Ana Marie was still dumbfounded. Raven felt a pang of pity, she knew that look, she had been wearing it silently when Terra had wooed Beastboy.

"Gar is mine," she whined, "I've wanted him for two years."

"And I've wanted him for six," Raven retorted, she pitied Ana Marie, but they had told her to leave him alone.

"Ana," Gar said, standing. He stood between Raven and Ana Marie, his arm out in a motion of holding Raven back. When he sensed her hackles lower he put his hands on Ana's shoulders. "Ana, you are a very beautiful and intelligent woman," her blue, painted, eyes sparkled in hope, "You're just not the woman for me. Please, go." Ana Marie bit her lower lip, like a child holding in a temper tantrum would, and walked out the door. Raven looked at Beastboy, he had practically said that he loved her. Raven felt a tear come out of nowhere and quickly blinked it aside. Beastboy crossed the short distance, a strange look in his eyes and cradled Raven in his arms. She felt so safe; Raven turned her face to him and let him kiss her.

Beastboy felt his lips slide over hers, he was used to the happy shock that came from contact with the beauty. Raven and Beastboy deepened the kiss, passion in every move. Beastboy and Raven moved to the couch, never parting. Raven wrapped her legs around Beastboy and he froze before kissing her again, more fervently then before. They parted and Beastboy pulled Raven into his lap, wrapping his arms around her.

"I love you," Beastboy said. Raven looked up at the man in her arms and kissed him.

"And I love you," Raven said. Beastboy smiled and kissed her. He set her on the couch and got up. "Where are you going?"

"Roof," Beastboy said, grinning in his insane manor, "I have some shouting to do." Beastboy did his shouting and took Raven home, Demeter was looking better.

"Well," Demeter said, "If your date went half as good as mine, you are in a very high state of euphoria right now." Beastboy was far away so Raven had no reserve in shouting at the top of her lungs.

"He loves me!" Demeter smiled, her guy had confessed love too, and he meant it. Demeter knew that Beastboy and Raven would probably be married within the year.
