Finally, I thought I would never be able to write another chapter! Sorry, I've been so lazy and I have to write my Harry Potter Fan Fiction also! But Thanx for all the reviews!

Feeling the Realization

Chapter 2 Thoughts and Mushiness

(The Girls)

The girls stood in front of a rather dark store, perfect for Raven's style'. Raven casually stepped in admiring the view. A teenage boy, about the same age with a black shirt and jeans with colored hair and many piercings, walked up to them and said, "Welcome to Hot Topic, do you need assistance in anything particular?"

Raven answered, "No, we are just going to look around."

Starfire gave him a gaze and shuttered at his appearance because she wasn't used to seeing skaters.

"Raven, can we get out of here? I do not think this is the right place to look for an outfit for the party." Starfire said worrying that by the darkness of the area.

"Look Starfire, sorry. Just because this isn't your kind of store doesn't mean we have to leave right away." Raven answered.

"Perhaps, you stay here and I will look somewhere else. When I finish finding something and I will help you decide what you should buy. Then you will help me also decide." Starfire said, while waving to her and walking out of the store.

Raven walked around looking for something... there was many things of various colors. She decided to look for something black and/or purple. Raven was a very mysterious person but oddly she was very open with what she wore. A long-sleeved leotard and a cape. Besides, there was supposed to be a lot of people and it was going a warm night.

Raven walked around trying to pick the best outfit. Maybe a skirt would be good, it's not like me but I don't care what others think.' She thought. She found an all-plaid purple skirt and decided not to take it because there was too much plaid. Then after much scavenging she finally found the perfect skirt. It was like a cheerleader one with the two colors but it was all black with slips of purple plaid. Now for a top. She thought some purple shirt because black would be too much. She found a tight purple colored shirt much like the plaid color, on the front it said, 'Got a problem', and on the back it said, Deal with it.' (A/N: I wasn't sure what to write but it does sounds Raven-ish) She wanted to add a small touch to the shirt so she got black fishnet to put under the shirt. For shoes, she got black thick-heeled boots with purple laces. She was about to look for jewelry (A/N: not jewelry like accessories: wristband, those jelly bracelets, etc.) when Starfire came back to check what Raven had chosen.

"Have you chosen what you wish to wear to the party yet, Raven?" spoke Starfire.

"Yea, pretty much!" Raven responded.

Starfire screeched and ran to the dressing rooms to wait for Raven to try on her outfit. Raven didn't even bother rushing, she just took her time and walked-like a normal person would-to the dressing rooms. Raven dressed up and before she went out she looked at herself in the mirror and she looked different, but it was a good different. The door creaked as she opened and before she stepped out she had heard a scream, running footsteps a loud thud, a groan, and again, running footsteps coming towards her (A/N: this of course was Starfire who screams, run, trips, groans, and runs again).

"Raven, that looks very nice!"

"Thanks!"

The next thing that Starfire said struck Raven like an arrow and made her think about something that didn't come to her mind very often.

"I am sure Beast Boy will like it also."

"Beast Boy? What makes you mention him?" "I am sure others will like it also but Beast Boy will like it mostly." "But why, Beast Boy?" "I am certain that he likes you in a different manner than the rest of us." "In other words, like you and Robin feel about each other?" "No, Robin and me are just friends."

Raven patted her shoulder while saying, "Yea, you just keep telling yourself that."

Raven walked back to change, bought some accessories for her outfit, paid for everything and walked out of the store with Starfire to go check her clothing even if Raven wasn't much into Starfire's style' both not mentioning the subject again. Though Raven didn't know that it would come back to plague her mind in the future.
(The Guys)

The guys walked into the store and it was playing some Rap music (A/N: I'm thinking 50 Cent or D-12... I like D-12 better but who cares you picture your own music). They looked around for shirts or pants. Beast Boy wasn't really sure what color jeans he would get. A dark blue denim color would be nice. He saw many green shirts and wanted to pick all of them until Cyborg made a comment.

"Beast Boy, try staying away from the greens... if you're any more green we probably won't be able to see you anymore."

He has a point there.' Beast Boy thought. Blue doesn't really look nice with my unusual skin tone... Black... no... Red, no because Cyborg will probably compare me to a Christmas Tree. '

"Do you need any help?'' a voice interrupted.

He turned around and someone who worked in the store was asking him if he needed any help. It was a young lady around her twenties and it reminded him of a very pretty someone he knew.

"Yes, maybe you can. I trying to find a shirt that would look good with these jeans and on me because I can't find anything good for my skin color."

She walked around the store looking for something and Beast Boy followed. I know who she reminds me of... Raven.' The lady looked nothing like Raven though when he looked at her, he thought of Raven. Or was he just thinking about Raven, even if the girl looked like Raven or not? Why would I think of Raven if I'm not really with her?'

He hadn't noticed that he was still following the lady at the store. He almost bumped into her.

"Here's a good shirt. Is this good enough for you?"

"Yea, I think so. Thanks!"

He look at the shirt she had chosen. It was a sea foam green color and it said Sean John (A/N: yea that's a company.... its the only idea you get when a billion guys at skool either wear.... plain color shirts, Sean John shirts, or basketball jerseys) in a violet color in the back of it. He put his fingers on the letter and felt them. It reminded him of her... Raven.

"Are you sure that's not a coincidence?" Cyborg questioned.

"What are you talking about?'' Beast Boy responded.

Robin joined in by saying, "You're thinking about her, aren't you?"

Beast Boy took a while to answer and in his best lying voice said, "NO, no! Why do you think that?"

Cyborg yelled, "You're just like Robin. Of course you are thinking about her. How would know who we are talking about if we didn't even say it?" Cyborg walked away.

"What do you mean by just like Robin, Cyborg?" Robin retorted.

"He means, you think about Starfire all the time. You're the leader of the team and you can't even tell a girl how you feel about them? That's very sad once you think about it." BB said.

"At least, I'm not the one who gets dissed by the girl that they like." Robin said.

Robin had made some sense. Raven would never like me. She has never said anything nice about me. When I realized that everything she said about me was never a nice comment, I lost all faith and hope of Raven liking me.' BB thought.

He walked over to look at the shoes. There was Phat Farms, Nikes, Tims (Timberlands), and K-Swiss. Boots... that could be uncomfortable at a dance...K-Swiss... no (A/N: I hate k-Swiss they are ugly... no offense to anyone who wears them... my friend does... but I don't like them). So it was down to Nikes or Phat Farms. He then asked both Cyborg and Robin what they thought he should get. They said that they were getting Nikes. So Beast Boy decided on getting black high-top air Nikes.

Beast Boy walked over to the dressing room to try on his outfit and looked in the mirror. He thought, Raven can't miss this outfit.'

They paid for there belongings and walked out of the store (A/N: who care what everyone else bought... they really aren't the main characters here...). They looked at the clock and realized that they still had 20 minutes until they met up with the girls. They decided to go to the video game store with the remaining time that they had left over.

At the top of the hour, Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy met up with Raven and Starfire.

"Are you guys hungry?" Robin asked.

They nodded their heads in reply and walked towards the Food Court where they all chose what they wished to eat. When they finished, they placed their stuff in the trunk of the T-Car and drove home to get a good night sleep to be pumped up and party all night long.

(A/N: I would leave it here but it throw off my calculations of what happens in the next chapter.... there still is a little more.. left... they are getting ready for the party now...)
"Titans, we have one hour before we leave. We've better start getting ready." Robin suggested.

They all went their separate ways to go into their rooms. As Beast Boy got ready, he thought about what Raven was going to wear because they have never seen each other in anything other than their uniforms. Little did Beast Boy know, that not very far from where he was standing someone was thinking the same thing. Raven couldn't wait to see how handsome Beast Boy looked in his outfit. As much as she didn't even want to admit she was thinking it, she was and it was bothering her that maybe her outfit wasn't up to his standards.

I am sure others will like it also but Beast Boy will like it mostly.' Echoed in her head. Was Starfire right? No, I highly doubt that she was.' But all Raven could do is hope for the best.

All of a sudden, a knock came upon her door.

"Raven, may I come in to help you with your hair or perhaps, make your up?" (A/N: make-up)

It was Starfire, who else would it be? Obviously, not who she wished it would be.

Raven opened the door and Starfire ran in carrying a bunch of stuff. Starfire had decided that Raven should do her hair. She combed it all back and tied it in a ponytail and then she twirled it up and made a messy bun. When Raven wasn't looking she managed to add purple and silver glitter to her hair. Raven couldn't do anything about it anymore so she left it. As for makeup, Raven pushed out the door before she applied any of that stuff. Fifteen minutes before the party they all meet in the living room to look at their outfits. Robin practically drooled over how pretty Starfire looked. Beast Boy kept looking at Raven but tried not to look too much because he thought Raven would kill him. While in fact, Raven was also trying to steal some glances. All in All, mushy love spread through the room until Cyborg cut the mushiness.

"If your going to drool looking at each others, then do it when its dark and no one can you see you."

They looked at him with angry faces expect Raven who walked downstairs to get into the car so that they wouldn't think that she liked Beast Boy. They got into the car and drove away to party the night away!
