Chapter 2:

Raven woke up the next day to the sound of someone knocking on her door. She stood out of bed, got dressed, and walked toward it. She opened it and saw Beastboy standing outside. "What is it?"

Beastboy grinned. "Starfire and me are going to the mall want to come?

Raven shook her head. "No thank you. I'd rather sit in the quiet and read."

Beastboy shrugged letting out a sigh.

She looked at him. "If you'll excuse me the quiet calls to me." She says cynically.

Beastboy rolled his eyes and walked away meeting up with Starfire at the end of the hallway.

Raven walked out of her room and toward the Titan's lounge area. There Cyborg and Robin were playing the racing game they were so often seen playing. She walked up behind them and looked at it momentarily and went to fix herself some herbal tea.

Robin lost as he crossed the finish line in second place.

Cyborg yelled as he did his lame victory dance. "Booyah! You still can't beat this, Rob."

Robin lay down the controller and looked toward Raven sitting at the table and waved toward her. "Hey Raven. Did you just get up?"

She nodded. "No thanks to Beastboy. Anything happen yet?"

Robin shook his head. "Nothing, and that's the strange thing. For a whole week after Gizmo, Jinx and Cinderblock escaped none of the criminals have shown up."

Cyborg smiled. "That's a relief. I sure have enjoyed the rest."

Robin nodded. "True. But it worries me. I think something's going to happen, something big."

Cyborg shrugged. "You might be right but for now just loosen your cape and chill."

Raven looked at Cyborg. "He has a point Robin. Rest, take it easy. When they show up again we'll be ready." She got up and walked out of the room.

Robin looked at Cyborg. "Where's she going?"

Cyborg shrugged. "Don't know dude."

A few minutes later she walked back in the room dressed in blue jeans, and a purple T-shirt, on her hands were black gloves. She walked toward the table and threw down five tickets on the table. She looked at Robin and smiled. "In appreciation for the wonderful time the other night."

Robin picked one of them up and looked at it.

Cyborg also grabbed one and looked at it. His eyes lit up. "Dude! These are tickets to the upcoming Rocket's Rage concert. But aren't they sold out?"

Raven nodded. "They were after I got these. We need to leave as soon as Beastboy and Stafire return." She looked at Robin. "Could you take me into town to get a few things before then?"

Robin nodded and stood up. "Sure. We'll take my bike. Hold the fort Cyborg."

Cyborg still looking at the tickets in disbelief nodded. "Sure thing, nobody will get past my security. I've upgraded it twice since Halloween night."

Robin and Raven went out and shopped. They stopped by the herb store, the grocery store, and a few other places girls normally shop, even Raven.

When they returned several hours later and walked into the lounge they saw Beastboy and Starfire in the room. Starfire was as perky as usual and was trying on a necklace Garfield had bought her; it had a butterfly with fake jewels in the wings. He looked toward him and smiled.

He was goofing around with Cyborg so he didn't notice her looking at him.

Raven looked at Starfire's necklace. "Starfire, is that you got at the mall today?"

Starfire looked at Raven and nodded. "Oh yes dear friend Raven it is. Garfield got it for me, wasn't it nice of him? I also got several garments of short and cute nature."

Beastboy nodded when he heard this. "Really cute I'd say." He said confidently. "She'll look great in all of them."

Starfire looked at him and happily nodded. "I should go and try some on then, I shall return shortly." As she passed by Raven she took her by the hand. "Come Raven and help me chose the right ones."

Robin looked back as the two girls retreated toward Star's room. He waved at them as they left.

Star enthusiastically poured the contents of the bags onto her bed. She spread them out in an order that she liked and showed Raven. "What about these." She pointed to a short pleated skirt and a camisole next to a pale blue sweater vest. "Do you think Garfield will like it?"

Raven looked at Starfire oddly. "Why does it matter if he likes it? Is there something going on between you two?"

Starfire shrugged. "Maybe. I'm not sure." She had been on earth long enough to understand what the interpretation would be. "That's why I want to look good."

Raven nodded and looked at the different outfits. All of them were mismatched in color and style. The colors clashed and were too bright especially to Raven's taste. She preferred the more subdued colors of the spectrum. "They're all so… bright." She said surprised. "Maybe like this." She re-arranged them and showed Starfire a few things about coordinating outfits.

Star picked up the two she liked and smiled. "Thank you so much. These will do wonderfully."

Raven then picked up the skirt, Camisole; and sweater combo. "Wear this one, instead. The team's going out somewhere tonight." She walked toward the door, opened it, and walked out. She closed the door and walked to her own room to get ready.

Raven and Starfire walked back into the lounge. The three boys looked at them and their collective jaws dropped especially at Starfire, she was dressed in the camisole, skirt and sweater vest.

Raven was still wearing the purple T-shirt but exchanged the blue jeans for a black skirt. "What are you all waiting for? We have to leave now. We'll probably have to wait for four hours or more in line before the concert starts."

Robin and Beastboy went to their rooms and got dressed and Cyborg activated his holographic field generator to cover his robotic parts. Beastboy came out fast and wanted to know where they were going. He was dressed in a muted green T-shirt covered by a nylon jacket, and he wore baggy blue jeans with the bottoms tucked into his uniform boots.

Starfire smiled at him. "You look really handsome Garfield."

Beastboy scratched the back of head. "Really? I just threw this on quickly."

She nodded enthusiastically.

Robin followed calmer and more collectively dressed in a red T-shirt, leather pants, and leather jacket along with his steel toed boots from his uniform. "We're going to the Rocket's Rage live concert."

Beastboy looked at him with a look of disbelief. "Hahaha, you're joking right? you're pulling a prank on me aren't you?"

Robin shook his head. "Ask Raven she bought the tickets."

He turned toward Raven and looked at her. "We're seriously going?"

Raven nodded. "How many times have I pulled a prank or joked about anything?"

Garfield hugged Raven without thinking. "Thank you Rae you're the best."

Raven cringed and looked at him. "Alright you're welcome, can you let go now?"

BB let her go and before anyone else even thought about it yelled out. "I've got shotgun!"

Starfire smiled. "I call the shotgun on the way back." She also knew what that meant.

The concert was being held at the football stadium nearby.

The crowd was heavy and the Titans could see several people there. Suddenly they bumped into two girls they all recognized. The first was a black girl with black hair and brown eyes with a t-shirt that had a sexy bumble-bee on it. The next was a pink haired, black clothed, grey skinned beauty. She stepped back startled. "Whoa! Let's, huh, take it easy here. I haven't broken my parole. I have every right to be here. You can't do a thing."

Robin shook his head. "Don't worry Jinx we're not here to take you in. In the interest of fairness, and enjoyment of the concert, we will not come after you unless you warrant it."
