Title: For Once

Author: The-Infamous-Bounty-Hunter

AN: Hi guys! I know I should update, but I'm working on a new story that THE Jessemudflap is looking over! I was like, "SQUEEE!", when she responded to my email, because we've been chatting a lot. I also got a look at the new chapter of The White Rose, before anyone else! I feel loved! You guys should check out her stories, they rock! Anyways, this one-shot is going to be a little bit racy, so that's why it's rated T. It takes place when the titans are 29-30 years old. This is a BBxRae, CyxJinx, and RobinxStarfire. I don't want to get flames about the pairings at the beginning..it all works out in the end. This might be short...I dunno if it is. I also got SPELL-CHECK! So, everything should be correct...I hope. This is dedicated to Jessemudflap and AnimationWickedRaven..who's been with me forever!

Summary: "Why are you marrying him?" He asked her, then crushed his lips to hers, the brute force weakening her knees. "Why did you marry her?" She whispered, clutching to his neck urgently. That's where Starfire found them, breathing hard and crying.

The wedding destination was beautiful. Lilies were scattered everywhere, thanks to a little girl with lovely red hair and the most beautiful sapphire eyes. The yellow flower girl dress she wore swayed in the breeze as she glided across the luscious, green earth.

"Tamara! Tamara, you must not use the flowers at this time!" A sweet voice called out to the young girl and she stopped, her giggles scarcely heard. Starfire floated over to her child, the long auburn hair shining. Tamara picked up the basket she was holding, her bottom lip quivering as she realized there was no more lilies left.

"I'm sorry, Mama! Please don't get mad at me!" Tamara cried, tiny tears gathering at the sides of her eyes. Starfire's eyes softened, if not even more so, and she gathered the child in her arms. "Tamara, Tamara..." She cooed softly, "I will just get more. Do not worry."

The girl of 5 calmed down instantly, a bright smile painting her features. "Here comes daddy!" Starfire exclaimed happily, her emerald eyes widening with joy.

Robin- now Night Wing- had his hair hanging loosely. The midnight locks reached his shoulders, lightly touching the black tuxedo he had on. The mask was gone for this occasion and his dark blue eyes were revealed. Robin held his arms out for Tamara and she flew into them without question.

He cuddled her close, tickling her underneath her chin. "My dear Tamara," He whispered to her, "You will never know how much your mother and I love you."

"More than two oceans? More than the sky, space, and the galaxy?" Tamara said childishly, her features contorting worriedly. Robin hugged her close and nodded.

"More than the world."

Raven was currently putting on her wedding dress, alone and quiet. This was it. She was getting married. To Aqua Lad. That's what scared her the most. That she would spend the rest of her life with that..that monster.

Ever since she left the team when she was 20, Raven had been pursued by Aqua Lad. He had stalked her, learned her location even after she had moved many times. She had her identity changed, but still, he found her. After brutally raping her when she was drugged, he swore that he would kill her if she didn't go out with him and begin to love him. This lasted for 5 years, and then he proposed in front of a Titans' reunion.

Aqua Lad played the perfect boyfriend, bending down on one knee, taking Raven's hand with a flourish. "My dear Raven," He said grandly, kissing her pale hand, "I love you. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. Will you please marry me and be my wife, forever?" Tears welled up in Raven's eyes, not because of the proposal, but because she knew she had to accept or she would be killed.

"I will," She gasped out and let the tears stream down her cheeks. Aqua Lad grasped her in a hug, whispering into her ear, "Very good, my little rose."

Raven felt horrible, knowing that Beast Boy had harbored feelings for her in the past. A sad sigh past through her lips and she still wondered if he loved her. She suddenly frowned, black energy forming around a glass ornament and breaking it. "Shit. Get yourself together, Rae. You never had a chance after Terra came back and married him."

This brought an even angrier sneer to her face. Terra. The name alone made her want to gag. The dumb little traitor had been revived by her own earth moving powers, it seemed that it was just reserved power. So she became a sad little girl, following the Titans around and asking to join the team.

After a few tests and a reading from the empath herself, Robin agreed to let her join the team for a trial week. After that week was up, the team was falling over her again. And Raven was left in the dust.

Again.

Then Beast Boy proposed to Terra, and Raven just...left. She never came to the wedding, never accepted the phone calls from the team.

That was the worst mistake of her life. That's when Aqua Lad found her, and began the hell that ended so many years ago.

Victor Stone trotted down the little stone path, his wife attached to his arm happily. Jinx was content with her life, especially after leaving the H.I.V.E and falling in love with Cyborg. "Honey," She cooed to him, her lashes covering the shimmering pink irises underneath, "I'm so glad you got that surgery. I do miss the machinery, though. Strange.." She shook her head, the flowing, magenta- her hair had gotten darker- hair covering half of her face.

Cyborg was no longer a cyborg. A friend of the titans had made a clone of his original body, and replaced his memories into the clone. (AN: This actually happens in the old Teen Titans comics. Check out 'The Legacy Of Cyborg' for the reference.) He actually had real skin, he could feel his hands, and he was..normal.

Cyborg tilted his head back and let out a laugh. His wife was very amusing sometimes. Kinda like the time when she first tried to cook him dinner. She ended up with cake mix in her hair somehow, and cried over it for a whole week. Since then, Cyborg had taken up the cooking duties.

"Friend Cyborg! Friend Jinx! You have made it to friend Raven's wedding! Glorious!" Starfire sped over to them, enveloping them both into a tight hug. Jinx was turning blue, so that was when Cyborg had to step in. "Star," He gasped, "You're going to kill us!"

She let go, her face heating up instantly. Robin placed a hand on her shoulder lovingly and held Tamara out with his other arm. "Cyborg, Jinx! Glad to see you could make it. You remember Tamara, right?" He grinned at the two of them as Tamara blushed shyly.

Jinx smiled happily at her, gathering the girl in her arms. "Of course," Jinx squealed, cuddling the child close, "I remember when you were just a little baby. You were so cute and you still are! Isn't she, Vic?" He nodded earnestly, studying the girl. Jinx handed Tamara back to Robin and turned to Cyborg.

"Victor, I want a child just like that. As soon as we get home I want you t-" She stopped in mid-sentence, remembering that Tamara was present. She muttered a quiet sorry, and all was silent.

Suddenly, Starfire brightened. "I must go check on friend Raven. She insisted for me to come whenever I pleased to help her with her dress. Excuse me!" She kissed Robin and Tamara on the cheek, humming merrily as she flew into the blue sky.

Breath. In. Out. That's it. Establish a rhythm. Don't stop once you have it started. Walk. One foot in front of the other. Walk down the carpeted hall, look for the big, white doors that she's getting dressed in. Let your heart pound with excitement. It's good to know that your heart's still beating nervously for her. Always for her.

Open the door, watch the surprise flit over her face as she twirls around in her wedding dress, white, lacy, frills everywhere. She calls your name so softly, so lovingly. And it hits you.

Raven is marrying someone else. Not you. Never you. Someone else. And you fall to the ground, the sure sign that you have fainted.

And somewhere, a voice sighs, He's blew it already.

Alrighty, kiddies. I'm tired, so I guess this will be a two-shot. Will someone please tell me if I did alright with this? I just wanna know so I can go to bed, or something. This is five pages of a two chaptered story..there will be more to come. I promise! I'll probably have it up tomorrow night or something. Night, kids. Oh, and I know how OOC the characters are, but they've changed. Also, Terra will show up. Don't worry, she will! Well, love ya all!
