Shadow: And welcome to another chapter of Miss Teen Jump City Beauty Pageant!
Cyborg: Could you have made the title any longer?
Shadow: If I tried. Don't see why your complaining, you never have to say it.
BB: That's good.
Shadow: Where's Raven?
BB: She's looking for me. Dude, you had better not tell her I'm here.
Shadow: HEY, RAVEN! I'M NOT TELLING YOU THAT BEAST BOY IS OVER HERE!
BB: Dude! How could you do that to me?
Shadow: Do what? I didn't tell her you are over here.
BB: Well- you practically- same thing-
Raven: There you are.
BB: Buh-bye (Turns into cheetah and takes off running followed by Raven).
Cyborg: Well that was interesting.
Shadow: Disclaimer and dedication please.
Cyborg: (Reads index card) RavenVsDestiny doesn't own Teen Titans, if she did she'd have the writers of 'Only Human' and 'Master of Games' fired.
Shadow: EVIL EPISODES! TOTAL WASTE OF MY PRECIOUS TIME!
Cyborg: This chapter is dedicated to The Burninator cuze she gave such a wonderful review! Plus, she was very friendly.
REVIEW REPLIES-
Beastfire- Raven: I wish I wasn't me too. Shadow: Thanx!
darkness is 2 lonly sometimes- Shadow: I'll make it as long as I can make it! Cyborg: Seven chapters is way too long. Shadow: Please shut up, Cyborg. Suspense shall come later, and Raven will never steal in any of my fanfics. But thanx for the suggestion!
The Burninator- Shadow: I guess it crosses all of our minds at some point. Raven's bursts of anger are because she is hurt and frustrated and I don't consider them out of character. She gets better. The mall will be nothing compared to the KnortelVendelxort Star's gonna give Raven!
Xerxes93- Shadow: Sure thing!
Daisy Duke- Shadow: As you wish!
Fjord Cannon- Shadow: As you know so do I. Raven: Don't rub it in. destroys camera Shadow: I'll replace that. Cyborg: Ow! It was just a suggestion!
Happy Sun- Shadow: Thank you! Takes assorted cookies candies and cakes Raven: Shut up or I'll destroy you instead of Beast Boy. Shadow: I guess Robin's a little over dramatic. BB: You've got one thing right, Robin's getting too close to Raven. Cy: Why would you say that? BB: Then throttle him and not me! No I won't hate Terra! Shadow: Even if it saves your life from HS? BB: I hate Terra looks up at sky (well, it was actually the ceiling) sorry Terra.
Ferrai- Shadow: Thanx. Raven is very, VERY frustrated. BB: See, Raven, it was a compliment! Raven: I don't want a compliment like that!
AlyRaven- BB: But Terra turned to stone to save us! Shadow: BB, we all know that. AlyRaven, thanx. I wouldn't use the term "hilarious," and Terra coming alive wouldn't fit in with the rest of the story (Raven will have a rivalry with a different blonde). If you'll spend the time to type it 58 times, of course I'll update.
KFG24- Shadow: Yay! I totally agree: DOWN WITH ROBINXRAVEN! DOWN WITH ROBINXRAVEN! DOWN WITH ROBINXRAVEN! Cyborg: hands over ears They get it already! Shadow: Err, sorry about that! BB: I'm not stupid! Cyborg: Yes you are. Whose side are you on, KFG24!
Yokai no Miko- Shadow: In that case, thanx!
Whitedarkness- Shadow: He will, and yes it is. BB: Dude, it isn't fun to torture me! Cy: actually it is. BB: Well, you're being tortured too!

Chapter 4: Frilly Pink Things
EVIL DRESS SHOP THAT SELLS ONLY PINK
"Starfire, I wouldn't be caught dead in that-" Raven paused, unable to think of a word to describe the pinkest, frilliest, dress-Raven-wouldn't-be-caught-dead-in in existence. "...that thing."
Starfire looked hurt. "I apologize, Friend Raven. I thought it was pretty."
'Yeah, if you like frilly, pink things,' Raven thought, but she told Starfire that it just wasn't her style so as to avoid hurting her friend's feelings.
"Raven, you do realize there's no way to get out of wearing a pink dress, right?" Robin inquired.
Raven glared at him with white glowing eyes. Sure it wouldn't get her out of the (EVIL) pink dress, but what else was she going to do with her frustration? "OF COURSE I KNOW I CAN'T GET OUT OF IT!" Raven screamed. The pinkest-frilliest-dress-Raven-wouldn't-be-in exploded. Raven tried not to smile. It was very hard to contain her joy (and they say Raven's never happy).
"Ahem," the same clerk-that-is-always-in-Teen-Titans-episodes fake-coughed.
"I'll pay for it," Cyborg unhappily announced, going to the register to pay the clerk money for a dress no one would be able to wear.
"I'd say sorry, but I'd be lying," Raven told Cyborg. "What are you staring at?" Raven asked the numerous confused people who were all wondering the exact same thing: 'Why is Raven in a store that sells exclusively pink dresses?' They quickly looked away.
Raven continued to search for a decent pink dress (by decent she was looking for something with: no frills, no ribbons, no lace, and something that wasn't pink) for a very long time.
"Dude, just pick something," Beast Boy said out of boredom. He was in a store that sold pink dresses; there was nothing for a guy to do there. Is there any point in mentioning Raven glared at him?
"I guess this will do," Raven replied pulling out a one-shouldered pink dress made out of a light, floaty fabric with a diagonal hem (goes from knee to tea-length).
Beast Boy thought for a second then decided to risk it. "I think that'll look really pretty on you Raven," he told her.
Raven felt her heart must've skipped a beat. She turned away from Beast Boy blushing, and almost feeling a little guilty for being so hard on him for the last hour. Keyword: almost.
"Did I miss something?" Cyborg asked with a tone in his voice full of mockery that completely ruined their little "moment" and brought them to the realization that Starfire, Robin, and now Cyborg were there.
"Uh..." Beast Boy answered not quite sure how to respond.
"No," Raven replied almost coldly.
"Friend Raven, it is a most 'glamorous' dress!" Starfire changed the subject hoping to avoid another fight.
"Whatever, what else am I being forced to wear?" Raven replied.
"We are already in a dress store," Robin began, "why not just get another dress while in this-" A look from Raven shut him up.
"Making me wear one pink dress is pushing your luck," Raven said.
"How about we go to another store and buy a dress," Beast Boy said, inching towards the door.
"Fine with me," Raven agreed, having no problem leaving this evil dress shop.
RANDOMBATHING SUIT STORE
"Friend Raven, isn't this so much fun!" Starfire exclaimed twirling mid-air.
"Oh, yes. Joy," Raven replied with far less enthusiasm. Starfire failed to catch this. "Can we just get this over with?"
"How about this?" Starfire held up a pink bikini.
Raven looked at her shocked- 'Tell me she didn't just do that,' Raven thought/prayed. "No way. I'm getting a decent one piece."
"But, Friend Raven, no one has ever won this pageant who wore a one piece?"
"What kind of town is this!" Raven yelled in frustration.
"We shall keep looking," Starfire unhelpfully answered.
JUST OUTSIDE OF RANDOMBATHING SUIT SHOP
"Why again are we out here?" Beast Boy asked.
"So Raven doesn't destroy us for seeing her in a bathing suit," Robin answered.
"Very smart," Cyborg replied in awe of his leader's lifesaving decision. "I'm guessing Beast Boy's disappointed he's going to miss out on seeing his girlfriend in a bathing suit."
"Actually, I'll get to see her-" suddenly Beast Boy realized what Cyborg had just said. "DUDE! That's so not fair!" Cyborg was laughing.
"Friends, would you please tell us what is so funny?" The girls had left the store.
"Nothing!" Beast Boy quickly replied.
"At least we have everything and we can go home now," Raven sighed in relief.
"By the way Raven, there's something I wanted to tell you," Beast Boy nervously said.
"Hey, look! There's a sale on batteries! Let's go check it out!" Robin said to get the two teens alone.
"Friends, why are we going to check out a sale on batteries?"
"I love batteries, don't you? C'mon Star, you wouldn't make us go alone?" (Cyborg)
"I suppose not," Starfire replied while Robin and Cy pushed her away from Beast Boy and Raven (who looked very confused and slightly uncomfortable).
'Maybe I can apologize later,' Beast Boy thought. "Err... Hey Raven, what element won the Nobel Prize?"
Shadow: I'll dedicate the next chapter to the person who gets this joke right (HINT: You'll find the answer on the Periodic Table of Elements). All of Beast Boy's jokes are lame and this one is no exception. R&R- thanks in advance!
