It Happens
Situations Change
(Following Day at 10 a.m at Robin's Mansion)
"Are you serious?" Raven asked incredulously over the phone, "you beat him up before he asks you to marry him?"
"I didn't know that he was going to propose!" Jinx shouted angrily, "but I'm glad he did," she added in a happy gigglish manner.
"Well I'm happy for you Jinx," Raven told her, "you and Gizmo deserve each other," she said.
"So," Jinx said slowly.
"So what?" Raven asked.
"This conversation has been ALL about me," Jinx pointed out, "what about you?" she asked.
"What about me?" Raven asked back.
"Will you stop answering my question with a question?" Jinx snapped.
"I will when you tell what you're talking about," Raven responded.
"You and Robin," Jinx said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Me and Robin?" Raven asked with a nervous edge to her voice.
"Yes you and Robin," Jinx said, "so, what's up?" she asked.
"We're living together," Raven told Jinx, "permanently," she added and couldn't help smiling slightly.
Jinx suddenly let out an excited shriek while Raven blushed fiercely.
"Are you two getting married?" Jinx asked in a teasing but happy tone.
The line suddenly went silent.
"Raven?" Jinx asked in concern after nearly five minutes of silence, "are you there?"
"Yeah, Yeah, I'm here," Raven responded softly, "uh Jinx," she said slowly, "Robin and I aren't exactly rushing into the marriage business," she told Jinx, "it's just not for….not the right time," she chose to say instead.
But Jinx wasn't born yesterday.
"But you were so staunch on Gizmo and I getting married," Jinx pointed out, "why not you and Robin?" she wondered.
"Because we're not like you and Gizmo," Raven told her, "we're still exploring and sometimes even wonder if lust and loneliness is what's pushing us together more than anything else," she revealed to Jinx who gasped, "it's not as bad as it sounds," she said with a laugh, "we care for each other deeply over all, we're not a pair of lusting sex addicts," she added.
"I know Raven," Jinx said kindly, "so um, how's things between you and Blackfire?" she asked.
"She wants me to make peace with Beast Boy," Raven said coldly, "and of course make it look like Beast Boy has nothing to apologize for," she told Jinx who angrily muttered a few expletives, "but I've told her that I'm not apologizing until Beast Boy apologizes about what he said to me and I also let her know that Robin's forgiven me," she said, "of course she got really angry about hearing that and tried to make it seem as if everything bad that happened was Robin's fault alone," she added.
"But it's not all his fault," Jinx disagreed, "your Father, the rest of the former Teen Titans and others are all to blame in their own way," she said, "she's too deeply in love with Beast Boy to really see his faults."
"Yeah," Raven agreed, "it seems that my friendship with her is bust for now," she declared.
"Yeah but remember that you have your good old friends Jinx and Gizmo here waiting for you," Jinx reminded her.
"I'll never forget that," Raven told her, "you guys mean a lot to me," she said.
"We better," Jinx said firmly but then laughed, "can you believe that I'll soon be Mrs.?" she asked Raven excitedly.
"Just remember to invite me to your wedding," Raven said simply.
"I can't forget my Maid of Honour," Jinx said happily.
"Why am I not surprised," Raven said frankly, "I'm NOT wearing any ugly puffy dresses," she said immediately.
"My bridesmaids will be dressed in style," Jinx declared, "but not as stylish as me of course," she made sure to add.
"You are style," Raven told her, "huh?" she said suddenly and turned around to see Robin.
"Um, I just came down the hall," Robin said nervously.
"That's okay Robin," Raven told him, "you want to talk to Jinx?" she asked and held the phone out to him.
Robin looked at the phone hesitantly but Raven nodded and he took it.
"Hi?" Robin said.
"Hey Robin, how's everything?" Jinx greeted him warmly.
"Everything's great," Robin told her, "so Raven's told you about her mansion?" he asked.
"Oh I forgot," Raven realized, "tell her for me Robin," she told him.
"Tell me what?" Jinx asked since she overheard Raven's words.
"You can have it," Robin revealed to Jinx.
For a whole minute the line was silent.
Then suddenly Jinx let a shriek so loud Robin had to hold the receiver far from his ears.
"I get her house!" Jinx screamed, "oh my God I get her house!" she shrieked, "thank you Raven, thank YOU!" she shouted happily.
"Your Welcome!" Raven shouted back as she corked her ears.
"I'm sorry but Raven knows how much I've always LOVED her mansion that's near the one I live in," Jinx said to Robin who now started to put the receiver back to his ear since Jinx was no longer shouting, "technically the one I live in is owned by the former HIVE group of Gizmo, Mammoth and I," she told him, "but I technically own it in my opinion since I'm the one who spends MOST of the time in it and pays nearly all the maintenance," she said, "Gizmo lives out of hotels unless he's here and Mammoth works as a live in security guard at a Strip Club," she listed, "I could buy other Mansions but I LOVE where I live and the Mansions here are mostly sold to one close associate to another and I've had NO luck there," she said, "so Raven giving me her Mansion is a dream come true for me," she declared happily.
"Well I'm glad that it makes you happy," Robin said while Raven stood nearby with a knowing smile, "so how are you and Gizmo?" he asked.
"We're getting married," Jinx squealed excitedly.
"That's great, congratulations," Robin said brightly, "when's the wedding?" he asked.
"We haven't decided yet," Jinx responded, "but Raven's my Maid of Honour," she said happily.
"That's great," Robin said, "any chance Gizmo will let me go to the wedding?" he asked.
"Robin," Jinx said warningly.
"Sorry," Robin apologized, "but unlike you Gizmo hasn't been so forgiving about my bad blood with Raven," he pointed out.
"That's true," Jinx admitted, "he thinks that you've kidnapped her."
"No surprise there," Robin said frankly, "but you WILL tell him that Raven's spoken to you."
"Yeah and that she doesn't sound like she's been gagged or has a gun to her head," Jinx said and Robin chuckled, "he just worries about her," she told Robin.
"I know," Robin told her, "tell him I said hi and I'm sorry about the bad blood between us," he said.
"Will do," Jinx said, "can I get back to Raven now?" she asked him.
"Sure," Robin said and gave the phone to Raven.
"Guess you're happy about having a new house," Raven said.
"You're the best Raven," Jinx declared.
"I'm happy to hear that," Raven said happily, "I wish you all the best with the engagement," she told Jinx.
"Thanks," Jinx said, "I'm going to miss you," she said suddenly.
"I'll visit Jinx," Raven told her.
"It won't be the same," Jinx said with a sigh, "but I'm glad you've found someone," she told Raven, "no man's an island," she added.
"Yeah," Raven agreed, "goodbye Jinx," she said.
"Goodbye Raven," Jinx said softly then after a moment hung up.
Raven hung up too but there were tears in her eyes.
"You miss her," Robin spoke up.
"Yeah," Raven said and sniffled.
Robin hugged Raven and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm glad you're staying," Robin whispered in her ear.
"Me too," Raven responded and kissed Robin on the lips.
Robin looked at her for a moment, then he smiled.
Suddenly he swept her into his arms and kissed her passionately.
(Meanwhile at a Penthouse in Jump City)
"Well it was nice of Kitty to lend us this place," Beast Boy said and Blackfire nodded.
"Can you believe Robin," Blackfire said suddenly.
"What?" Beast Boy asked as he sat up on the golden silk sheets of the Queen Sized bed that he and Blackfire had just slept in.
"Pretending to forgive Raven," Blackfire said incredulously, "who is he trying to fool?" she demanded.
"Well I definitely don't believe he's truly forgiven her," Beast Boy said, "it's all really fishy though," he said as he thought it all over.
"You don't think that Raven's done him something?" Blackfire asked with concern, "I'm her friend but recently her behaviour's had me reconsider a lot of things," she added.
"That's understandable," Beast Boy said, "but we can't just go barging into Robin's life right now to see if he's okay," he pointed out, "me moving out and other things have left us both on Robin's not so friendly list," he said frankly.
"That's true," Blackfire agreed, "and I can't talk to Jinx," she said, "she's way too pissed of with me and I'm also really angry at that purple little sorceress bitch."
"So when do we go to Tamaran?" Beast Boy asked.
"Soon," Blackfire said, "real soon," she said with a smile.
