A/N: I'm back! Yes, so as I promised, avid writing from me. I will give you a heads up that I will be on and off being here, but I will write constantly. In a few weeks I will be gone to see the uptight country club grandparents (through no choice of mine) so I doubt, unless they somehow have an internet café, you will hear from me then. But still, avid writing. Also, I do have another story, "Cat and Mouse" that I feel those readers should be granted with avid writing too, so I'm sorry for any wait. Also, I'm starting a one-shot, not my normal style or character layout, but a songifc, BBrae. Yes, you may be shocked. Yes, I do not love that pairing, yes I find it totally unlikely, and yes, it's a songfic. I'm sorry for sinking so low. But you can blame my carpooler's radio for playing the song and brainwashing me.

In your reviews if you ever love or hate a certain thing I do, let me know, such as certain people love bashing of certain characters, and others may find certain things a character does good. Just let me know, I really want to make you happy after being gone.

Thank you all for the well-wishing reviews.

Also, my original plan for this story has been wiped away by The End, so how about, we keep this story's time period Pre-Prophecy, so only Raven's birthday has occurred,

Continuing, now. Yes, the beginning is from last chapter, I had to remind you being gone. Also, sorry for the shortness, once again I had to work on the other ones too, and I wanted to give you something to know I was back.

START

A tall figure was silhouetted against the flicking candles. He had a rather muscular form, and he stepped foreword into the light with surprising grace. He had dark brown hair that was spiked, and his face was quite angular. He wore a black coat, almost the length of a trench-coat, and regular blue jeans. Steely grey eyes surveyed her.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, It's just, I'm an avid fan..." He trailed off, his voice icy, yet his tone warm and friendly.

Raven shut the book with a snap, placing it back on the shelf.

"It's just, it's a pleasure to see you here, not in battle like I mainly do." The icy voice spoke smoothly and confidently, "So tell me, what are you doing here?" A pause, "I hope I'm not bothering you."

Raven's first instinct was to glare, and tell him he was, but there was an odd familiarity about him, and she sighed, shaking her head.

SECTION BREAK

Robin sat, clutching the comforter. He had been here for how long? He was unsure. A loud knock had brought himself to his senses. "Raven? Is Robin there? Sorry to bother you."

Robin stood, shuffling slowly to the door.

"Sorry Rae, really. It's just Beast Boy's driving me insane and it's almost dawn."

Robin pressed the button, his voice a quiet whisper, "Yeah, I'm here..." His voice trailed off slowly.

"Where's Raven?" Cyborg blinked, peering past him. "I was hoping she wanted to come help me make waffles. I mean, it's not as though she'd really want to but..." He stopped abruptly looking at Robin in shock.

"Dude! Where's the mask? Where you too like, making out or something?" He laughed nervously, his eyes still wide with shock.

Robin didn't say anything at first, "No, she just, uh, borrowed-- Never mind. I'm tired. Can you move?"

"Uh... yeah..." Cyborg took a step back from the door, but still gave Robin a weird look.

"You, you have eyes. It's... crazy."

SECTION BREAK

Sitting in the kitchen, alone, Robin had been hiding beneath a newspaper, using it as a guise for time to think. It was an unspoken law, when Robin read the newspaper his mind was at work, and he was to be left alone finding the lead. But he was not investigating the bank robbery on E6, but instead Raven. It was too hard to believe her gone. They were the Teen Titans, she amongst them. How could life be the same without her? She meant so much to everyone on the team... so much to him. Memories rose, most silent. Raven helping him up, laughing with him, blushing, smirking, dressed up in his uniform with the rest of the team, embarrassed, and hugging him. He wrapped one arm around himself, sighing. More images came, slowly twisting up his chest. He saw her leaving, begging him, he saw their kiss, and suddenly it stopped and went black. He saw Raven, alone, hood over her face. She sat in a dirty alley, and something splatters the ground. Another. The clear orbs splattered the ground near her feet, and she wrapped her arms around her knees. She was holding something in her hand, something white, but it was hard to tell. Where was she? Was this happening now?

Then a squeaky voice cut through the crushing waves of memories. He muttered, to himself, setting down the paper, and taking a sip of the herbal tea he was drinking from her old mug.

"Friend Robin!" Starfire squealed gliding over quickly. "Where is fri-" She gasped, dropping from the air. "Where is your mask?"

"Uh, misplaced it." He begged his voice to be steady. Breath in, breath out. Even those words made him think of Raven meditating, and he let out a moan.

Strafer peered at him, "Are you okay?" A pause, as she looked at him almost doubting before continuing, "Where is Friend Raven? Beast Boy has been telling me the stingiest things. He has been saying you have been doing the making of the out with Raven. What is this he speaks of? Could we maybe do the making of the out sometime too?"

Robin wanted to laugh at her naïveté but not for the circumstances. "Uh, Star, could I er, talk with you?"

"Aren't we talking already?"

"In my room..." Robin shook his head exasperatedly.

"Oh, why yes!" They set off in silence, Robin's steps echoing down the hall.

They entered his 'office'. It was odd for a boy his age, newspapers scattered across desks, bulletin boards coated with scraps of papers. A computer in the back of his room whirred softly, computing some grey and black monotone program. His bed was neatly folded, and a desk lamp barely illuminated the room. He sat down the mug on one of his desks, and flicked on a dull overhead lamp that flickered once in a while.

He sat down on the bed, and without an invitation Starfire followed. "What is it?"

Robin looked at the ground, the ceiling , the illuminated desk lamp, and back to the ground, trying to avoid looking at her. Robin knew twelve different martial arts, had a mindset of a mastermind, and the recklessness of a teenager. But he knew not of explaining this thing he felt.

"Uh, Star, I want to tell you something, and I want your, opinion I guess. And don't freak out on me. It's a long story, though."

"Is this about Friend Raven and the making of the out?" Starfire asked, clasping her hands, and when he swallowed and nodded, she squealed, "Joyous! I shall listen!"

Robin sighed. Of all people, why did he have to tell Starfire? The giddy alien girl who would no doubt freak out when she found out he didn't love her... anymore. "Uh, okay. So you know how Raven left from dinner rather early? I mean, she normally doesn't stay long at all, but how she left sort of oddly? Well, I was thinking about that, so I decided just to talk to her and see if everything was okay. You know with her birthday and all..."

"So you went into her room then you did the making of the out?" Starfire chimed.

"No!" Robing blushed. "Don't interrupt, Star, or I doubt I can get through it all. And stop bringing it up! It's not, I don't know, something a lot of people parade around!"

"Then what is it?"

"If I tell you will you shut up?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, making out is sort of," Robin sighed, she is such an idiot, how do I explain this to her? "Uh, it's sort of when two people kiss each other a lot of times in a row... and sort of cuddle and uh, yeah. It's normally when the two are going out, -dating star, dating!" He added hastily. "And a lot of times its sort of embarrassing to be teased about."

"So you and Raven are dating?" Starfire sounded happy enough, but there was a faulty note in her voice.

"No! Will you just listen? Here, we did not make out. Okay?"

Starfire nodded, suddenly looking much more relaxed.

"Anyways, so we sort of talked about it, and she was acting strange, then I noticed her room looked a bit different, packed up, I'd only been in there twice, one time at the very beginning when she joined the team. I asked her, and she told me-- she told me that she had to leave. She said that she could perhaps find someone that could help her, and save us. I argued with her, I told her everything, I begged her to stay, I seriously tried. Finally, I sort of, um, said something I don't know if I should've..."

"WHAT?"

"Well, I sort of told her that I wanted her to stay because, well, because I llll-- I lolll-- OUCH!"

Starfire blinked, cocking her head, hand poised. "What'd you smack me for?"

"Beast Boy says that it is to make you 'spit it out'."

Sometimes there was no arguing with her. "Well, thanks. But pretty much I said, Uh. I said, I um... Well, do you swear you will not be angry?"

"Why would I be angry? I cannot be angry at you, friend Robin!"

A groan, this wasn't going to be easy. Best spit it out. "I told Raven, that I needed her to stay... because I loved her."

BREAK!

Evil cliffies. Sorry, very sorry, don't worry, I'll continue soon. Once again, let me know what you like/don't like, suggestions appreciated! 3C's, Comments, Criticism, Compliments. Love you guys!
