Summary: A little insight on the Rae/BB relationship. Beastboy asks Rae out on a date. Will things go as planned? Or will memories come back to haunt them? Find out!

Raven lay spread-eagled on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She was thinking…thinking about what Gar had said yesterday. The carnival….it had been in town once before. That was about a year ago, when…..

"Terra."

That was it. It was the very same carnival the two of them had been to, before the earth-manipulater switched sides and went ahead to work for Slade. Did Beastboy forget it was the very same one, or was he intent on starting anew with her?

"Raven, you stupid ass. You're not always that important to everyone, you know."

But then again, she couldn't help feeling a little hurt that she didn't mean as much to Beastboy as Terra did. And there was something welling inside her…..something like….

"Urgh. No. I am NOT jealous", Raven muttered, sitting up and covering her face with her hands. Running her fingers through her hair, she tried pulling herself together, and let out a small sigh.

"Towards whom are you feeling most troubled against, Raven?"

Raven jolted upright and turned around. There was the Tameranian, right behind her, with a faintly puzzled look playing across her features.

"Kory! How did you get in?"

"I observed that your door was ajar, and I overheard you muttering something about jealousy", said Starfire, looking a little guilty now. "Forgive me for my intrusion, but please do confide in me your problems."

"Well, it's just that…"

"Yes?"

"Nevermind."

A look of sudden realization dawned upon Starfire, and she started giggling to herself.

"What?" Despite herself, Raven turned a little pink. "What?"

"No," began Starfire, easing a little on her laughter, "No, it is just that….the last time I have witnessed somebody with an inability to talk was Beastboy. Is there anything…amiss…with the two of you?"

Raven really didn't like the way she emphasized on the word 'amiss'.

"Perhaps you two are about to undergo a period called 'dating'?"

Raven banged her head against a wall.

"Glorious! I am most pleased with you two! Perhaps I can be of assistance?"

The Azarathean stared at her friend's eager face. Yup, she thought. Maybe she did need a little help.

Meanwhile, Beastboy was on his knees before Cyborg.

"Come on, Cy…"

"No."

"I'll return it to you in one piece!"

"No."

"I'll do anything! Just loan the T-Car to me on Friday night to take Rav.."

Gar stopped. He'd slipped! He looked anxiously around at his buddy to see whether he'd guessed why he wanted his automobile so much. And unfortunately for him, he did, for Vic was grinning from ear to ear.

"Ahem….so, being a little Casanova, now are we?"

Beastboy flushed bright crimson. "I just wanna have a decent ride for her. I promise I won't wreck the car. Just please, PLEASE loan it to me tomorrow!"

Cyborg looked down at his desperate pal, who was now hugging his knees. "Alright, alright, I'll loan it to you just this once. But if I find a single scratch on it…"

Garfield jumped for joy. "Thanks a million, dude!" He practically danced his way out of the garage.

Raven was trying to keep in mind all the bits and pieces of advice Koriand'r had given her from her past experiences with Robin. She sighed, doubting the advice of a terribly naïve alien from another planet could help her from averting disaster. Still, she wanted Beastboy to have a good time.

A clock beside her beeped. It showed exactly twelve midnight. "Great", she said, flopping down on her bed. "Just sixteen more hours to make a complete fool of myself." Then again, in a small welling of her heart, she was kind of looking forward to the date. Beastboy was fun to be with, even if it was in an annoying, stupid, childish, immature, cute, adorable……

Raven sighed. "Raven my dear, you're in big trouble", she said, before pulling up the bed covers to her chin.
