A/N:

here it is!

"Benji!" Raven dropped to the ground with a cry: her leg still hurt.

The car stopped, and the hood came down. "Raven? Were you just...flying?"

"No!" she laughed, as if it were a joke. "Like I can fly...Oh but wouldn't that be so cool?"

"Umm...yeah but...I could swear..."

"No, Benji. I can't fly. Even though I wish I could--"

"So can you come?" he asked, changing the subject.

"To what--Oh the party! Yes, yes of course. Oh, Richard is coming too," she pointed at Robin, "is that okay?"

"Yeah, or course. See you tomorrow..." he drove off.

"He knows...he didn't believe me..." she sat down on the sand and sighed.

"Just be more careful. You 'll see, it'll turn out all right. It's not like it's the end of the world if he knows--"

"Robin! It's Benji! He's like, in love with me! I can't keep anything from him!"

"You sort of just did--"

"He doesn't believe me! Uhg! I can't believe how stupid I was!"

"Just calm down Raven! It'll be okay! Just come into the Tower and we can talk--"

"I think I'd rather be alone..."

7 PM

"My homework is done, my make-up work is done, my friends are all still working, and there's still no food," Raven smiled.

"Hey, make your own!" Beast boy threw a piece of scratch paper at her.

"I can't believe how much work we have to do! I would never have even thought about being on the team if I knew we would end up like this: shuffling through papers for a report that's due tomorrow! Ah!"

"Yeah, we got more than we bargained for too..." Robin set down his pencil and looked at Raven. She was trying to find a cookbook in the mess of textbooks all over the tables, but from where he sat, was having absolutely no luck. "Want some help?" he asked.

"No, no I'm good..." she continued to rummage, stopping only to glance up at Robin. He met her gaze and smiled. Blushing, she looked down.

"Raven...you look weird," Terra came up behind her. "You okay?"

"I--I'm fine," she continued to look.

"Uh huh, sure..." she walked off, grabbing about five textbooks on her way.

Raven finally gave up and plopped down on the couch. "Too exhausted from looking through all those textbooks?" Robin teased.

"No, I'm exhausted because of you..."

"Why?"

Raven glanced at Cyborg and Starfire sitting in the kitchen. "I can't say right now..." she turned to face him and squeaked. He was standing right behind the couch, about a foot away from her.

"Hi..." he smiled and crouched down beside her, his arms resting on the back of the couch, "can you tell me now?" he whispered.

"I--yes...but...it's really none of your business..." she whispered back.

He smiled and kissed her. The remote flipped up into the air and landed next to Starfire. She glanced around. Robin, with his cat-like reflexes, immediately stood up.

"Whoa, freak out..." Cyborg also glanced at them.

"I'm fine..." Raven turned back around and stood. She walked right past Robin and out of the room. He followed.

"Raven," he called.

"Go away."

"Raven come on! I really just wanna be with you--"

"Oh; hi Beast boy. How're you?" Robin flipped around and Raven quickly stepped through the wall.

"Raven!" he called after her.

"What did you just say to her?" Terra and beast boy walked around the corner with raised eyebrows.
