Raven opened her eyes felling happier then she had in years. It had been fourteen days since the pool party and she had been on twelve dates with Beastboy. Two days ago he had gone to a game convention for work as a tester and she already had several messages on her phone from him. Raven was up at her normal time, though outrageously cheerful and perky.

"Morning Dem," she said lightly, almost floating into the kitchen.

"I think I'm going to drug Beastboy and drag him to Mexico," Demeter said, "You're to damn cheerful with him around." Raven just smiled and put the tea water on. Raven was definitely smiling more and laughing. Things were good.

"I have a reason to be happy," Raven replied, sitting down across from Demeter, "And from what you tell me, so do you. You said your guy is going to propose soon and we're both off work for a while on pay. Give me a reason not to be happy."

"Ah," Demeter said, "I'll get back to you."

"Exactly," Raven said, "So, what do you want to do today?" Demeter thought for a moment.

"Lets go shopping," Demeter said, "I'm going to need a dress for my big date. Something tells me that you're going to need one to." Raven raised an eyebrow. "You know we have to remind our men why they need us around, lets face it, we knock 'em out, they'll propose." Raven laughed.

"Is you entire life leading up to the moment you get laid?"

"Yes, yes it is."

"You're pathetic."

"And you're not?"

"No."

"How many times have you called him in two days?"

"Seven."

"You're pathetic." Raven stuck out her tongue and got the not quite boiling water and poured two mugs of tea. She sat down and slid the mug to Demeter. The two were both thinking that they had finally lived through their past. "You know, the bar's going to have to Halloween party again this year for friends and family. I was thinking that maybe I could introduce you to my guy there."

"Yeah," Raven replied, "I was going in invite the guys over, for free entertainment."

"How long till the party?" Demeter sipped her hot tea.

"Um," she mused, "Three weeks. Just enough time to get a costume, I'm not sure what I want to be."

"Me neither," Raven said, "We need to brainstorm. Beastboy told me he's going to be something from Phantom of the Opera, so I was leaning for Christine."

"Well," Demeter said, "Mike's actually a huge fan of Cats, so I was going to see if I could get my hands on a few spare leotards, I think we had some in off site storage."

"Sounds cool," Raven said, "I can help with make-up."

"No," Dem said, "I got it. I just want to know which costume he's going to choose."

"Hey, I thought we were going shopping."

Demeter drained her cup. "Lets go, I'll get my boots." The two took Raven's bike and walked into the mall. "So," Demeter asked, thumbing through racks, "When are you guys going to meet again."

"Well," Raven said, finding a dress for Demeter and throwing it over her arm, "We're going clubbing with Jess and Vic when Gar gets back. I don't know after that, he's already said that he wants to take me out to dinner sometime the week after next."

"That's a week before the party," Demeter said, throwing two dresses over her own arm. "So you want to be Christine?"

"Yeah," she replied, "I figured I could curl my hair and use the ball gown from storage."

"Now I'm glad we kept all the costume away from the theatre in pods," Demeter said, finding five more dresses.

"So what's up with Mike," Raven asked, finding six dresses herself.

"Who told you his name was Mike?" Demeter looked shocked.

"You said it back home," Raven answered, Demeter looked extremely relieved.

"Ok," she said, several dresses on both arms, "Let's go try these on. I found some you would look hot in."

"Same here," Raven said, "Let's sort them out and model." Raven handed Demeter several of her dresses and Demeter handed Raven several of hers. "You first or me?"

"You first," Demeter said, taking a seat. Raven rolled her eyes and went in the back. One was immediately crossed off.

"Dem," she said, "This looks to much like the one he first saw me in."

"Heaven forbid," Dem replied, adding it to her own pile. "Oh well, it'll look hot on me too." Raven looked at the first one, it was silver and slinky, perfect for a sixteenth date. She slipped in on over her head, it came to right above her knee, and walked out. "Damn." Demeter replied. "If I didn't have Mike I'd jump you." Raven smiled.

"Why thank you," Raven said, tilting her left heel out. "So this is a 'maybe'?"

"That's a definite possible," Dem replied. Raven turned around and walked back into the room. She pulled the dress off and hung in on the right hook. She looked at the next one, it looked to light for her, but she pulled it on anyway. It went to her ankles, started dark blue at the top and faded down to a sky blue.

"How's this one?"

"See former statements and add 'Damn' okay."

"All right," Raven said. Dress after dress went by until she finally found the perfect one.

Demeter's jaw dropped to the floor. "Girl, you've found it." Raven smiled. "It's perfect. I didn't think this could happen twice in a lifetime, but that's your dress. If I didn't have Mike, I'd fuck you." Raven hung it up and threw some of her dresses back at Demeter.

"Try these on," she said, "I think they'll go better with your coloring." Demeter nodded and tried on dress after dress. The blue fade one looked pretty good on her, but she found a black one that blew the others away.

"How do I look?" Demeter turned this way and that.

"I think I'd fuck you, and that means Mike would just jump on you." Raven said. Demeter was wearing a strapless back dress that hugged her form in just the right areas, the formal skirt fanned out and was blood red and had black gems in it. "Besides, it matches your hair." Demeter smiled and the two bought their dresses. "So, when are you and Mike going out again?"

"He's taking me out in three days. He's away on work right now."

"So we need an outfit?" Raven asked, "I still owe you for loaning me that black dress."

"Yes, yes you do."

"Let's go home and look." Raven and Demeter rode back and hung their dresses up in the bags so they would stay clean.

Three days later before either are picked up.

Raven went to her close and began pulling out outfits. "What's he like?"

"He's tall, light hair, dark eyes and incredibly sexy."

"Does he have a brother?"

"No," Demeter answered, "I think he mentioned a half-sister thought, but they're not close."

"To bad," Raven said, "Looks like I'll have to steal him then."

"Just leave me Gar," Demeter said. Raven handed her a skirt set and glared.

"Not a chance in hell," she replied, "I was joking about stealing Mike and I know a thousand ways to make you disappear." Demeter smiled and finally chose an outfit, filching Raven's black heel sandals.

"How do I look?"

"Hot," Raven answered. "It's pretty nice if you guys go to a club." Demeter was wearing a black skirt with the handkerchief hem and black sandals. Her hair was tied back with a flame clip and a few tendrils framed her face. She wore red eye shadow and dark lipstick. A dark led leather top that laced in the back. "If I weren't straight I'd fuck you."

"Come on," Demeter said, "Let's get you dressed." Raven was wearing tight leather pants and a dark blue top that was the sister top to Demeter's. She wore black boots and a silver chain belt with the necklace from Beastboy.

"And me?" Raven asked.

Demeter pulled them in front of a mirror. "We're to good for mortal man." The two laughed and, right on cue, the buzz rang, it was Gar. Demeter buzzed him up and welcomed him. He was wearing a black shirt and pants, looking very sexy. "She's in here."

"No, I'm here," Raven said, walking through the wall. Beastboy's jaw dropped, he had not seen her in five days.

"I don't deserve you," he said, kissing her soundly. Raven was so happy to see him again, she let him kiss her right in front of Demeter. Demeter soon broke the two up and shoved them out the door. Cyborg and Jinx were waiting downstairs.

"Hey sexy," Jinx called. "How are you?"

"Great hottie," Raven replied, getting in the back seat with Jinx. She was wearing a purple halter-top and black pants with heeled sandals. "Where are we going?"

"A club downtown," Cyborg answered. "I hope you girls feel like dancing." They got in and sat down for a moment. Soon the guys were talking about their girls.

"Take Jinx," Cyborg said, "I don't think I could be any more attracted to her."

"Same with me," Beastboy said, "I mean, come on, you've seen Raven's body?" Raven smiled and made eye contact with Jinx, they were really to evil without Starfire around. The two had been pulling pranks on the guys since the old days. The look on Jinx's face read 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' Raven nodded and looked out of the corner of her eye at Beastboy.

"So there is nothing that could make us hotter?" Raven asked, smiling. Cyborg and Beastboy both nodded.

"Nothing in the world." They both agreed, or thought that they had. Jinx and Raven started making out right in front of them, drawing several other glances from guys all around the club. Beastboy and Cyborg let their jaw's fall. Both guys immediately felt a large swelling below the waist.

"It's so beautiful," Cyborg said as his wife finally stopped making out with the other woman. Raven smiled suggestively at Beastboy and dragged him onto the dance floor. Jinx was on Cyborg faster then you could say her name. Raven had missed Beastboy so much. She moved her hips against his and he linked his arms around her hips. Raven relaxed against him, linking her arm around his neck and bent her own neck back to kiss him.

"That was hot," Beastboy said when their lips parted, "I didn't know you could do that."

"I'm full of surprises," Raven said back, moving her hips just a tad bit more seductively. Beastboy closed his eyes and waves of pleasure ran though him. The song changed to a slow one and Raven turned, linking her arms around his neck as he held her close. His hands were at the small of her back, her buried his face in her neck and kissed the area right above her collarbone. The world faded away, they were the only ones there. Raven ran one of her hands through his emerald hair and pulled back so she could kiss him.

"I love you," Beastboy whispered in her ear. Raven did not answer him, she kissed him slowly, letting her actions speak for her. Her lips slid over his as their tongues battled for supremacy. Beastboy held her close, he never wanted to loose her. A fast song started again and Raven turned, Beastboy's hands slid to her hips. Raven relaxed back as he held her and felt his tongue run over her neck, it was a sensation that pleased her. She shivered and Beastboy held her closer. Suddenly she was whisked from his arms and another, much larger, man held her close to him by the hips and whispered.

"Hey baby," he said, to many beers on his breath, "Mind if I cut in." it wasn't a question. His hand slipped down to her ass and Raven slammed her palm into his chest.

"Yes," she said, Beastboy was already there, a protective arm around Raven, "As a matter of fact, I do." The guy got up and Beastboy knocked him down again.

"Don't touch her again," Beastboy said, shaking his hand. The guy got up and four other guys were at his back in a moment. Jinx and Cyborg came out of nowhere.

"These guys bothering you?" Cyborg asked, just like one would ask about the weather.

"Yes," Raven said, "One of them thinks he owns me."

"You'll leave," Beastboy said, "And if you EVER lay a hand on her again, I'll kill you."

"Look man," he said, better now that his friends were behind him, "We don't take orders from green freaks!" He raised his fists, "Bring it!" Jinx looked up at Cyborg.

"Can I?" She whined like a little girl. "Please!"

"I don't know," Cyborg said, "I don't want you to get hurt."

"As if," Raven said, "Come on Jinx, just leave me the big one. No one calls Gar a freak and gets away with it." The two girls crossed the small gap that had formed and the guys laughed.

"I don't hit girls," he said, "They're to weak and helpless. They faint at a fight." He pretended to faint when one of his buddies cracked his knuckles. Jinx's and Raven's faces changed, no one called them weak.

"Oh no," Cyborg said, looking at Beastboy.

"They're screwed," Beastboy agreed. Raven and Jinx charged, kicking and punching like no other. The guy who pretended to faint was left to the end, which was about five seconds after they charged. Raven held him and Jinx hit him in the stomach.

"So we're weak," Jinx asked, slapping him across the face. "Are we?"

"No," the man spat out. Jinx hit him again.

"Are you going to bother any more girls?" Raven tightened her hold and he whimpered.

"No."

"Jinx," Cy called out, "Don't kill him." Jinx nodded at Raven who dropped his arms and put a sleeper hold on him. The man choked for a second before falling to the ground, still alive.

"Like a light," Raven said, high-fiveing (so un-Raven) Jinx.

"You go girl!" Jinx walked back to her husband and he put his arm around her.

"Lets go," he said and Beastboy put his arm around Raven, "I think we've worn out our welcome." Cyborg dropped Raven and Beastboy off at his flat and sped off. Beastboy brought Raven up, who immediately upon entering his flat, jumped up and wrapper her legs around him, kissing him. Beastboy returned the kiss holding her close. They parted and he set her down.

"So you did miss me?" Beastboy asked, still holding Raven close. Raven kissed him, her arms around his neck.

"You bet I did."

Raven followed Beastboy into the kitchen and they made popcorn, deciding to watch a movie. Beastboy poured two sodas and handed one to Raven, who slid in a DVD.

"What did you put in," Beastboy asked as Raven settled next to him. He put his arm around her and dug into the popcorn with his other hand. Suddenly a very familiar title piece played, composed by the one and only Howard Shore (One of the Top Five Greatest Composers ever, John Williams being in first.) Beastboy turned to Raven. "Lord of the Rings."

"Gives me a reason to stay," Raven said, setting the popcorn on his table, "You didn't think I'd actually let you watch it?" They never started the movie and the TV turned off automatically. Beastboy smiled as Raven knelt on the couch next to him and kissed him gently.

The kiss began slowly, with Beastboy's hand behind Raven's head. He licked her lips, asking her permission to continue. Their tongues battled as Beastboy's hands slid around her and held her close. Raven wrapped her legs around him and slid her hands around his neck. Beastboy pulled her hair out of its clip and buried his hands in it. Her hands went to his shirt and stripped it off his muscular chest. Her hands ran over his smooth back and Beastboy shifted so he was sitting with Raven in his lap. He pulled at the tie of her top and it fell away, he had not realized that the top was backless and she therefore was not wearing a bra. Beastboy felt her bare chest against his and moaned as he kissed her, bearing her down on the couch. His form settled over hers and their encounter became more heated. Beastboy kissed the side of her neck and Raven slid her tongue into his ear.

It was possibly the most arousing thing that had ever happened to Beastboy. Beastboy suddenly stopped, Raven had run her bear foot down the back of his leg, self control was all that kept him from taking her. He backed off and handed Raven her shirt, pulling his on over his head. She tied it around her neck and behind her back, knowing exactly what he was thinking because she was thinking the same thing herself. They were not married.

"This isn't right," he said.

"I can't do that," Raven said at exactly the same moment. Beastboy looked at Raven, they were both in love and ready for the next step. He knew what was hidden in the secret compartment under the table.

'What the hell,' he thought, 'I know I was going to wait till the restaurant, but now's a good a time as any. Things are usually only romantic if you don't plan them anyway.' He got down and felt under the table, pulling a board up and the small box out. He kept it behind his back and turned to a very confused Raven, she did not notice he was down on one knee.

So, how many of you totally hate my guts for the cliffie?
