"I didn't say anything--"

"Oh Raven wait!" Terra fell down on her knees, clutching one hand to her chest atop her heart, and the other she thrust towards him, fingers outstretched, with a pleading smile. "I wanna be with you!"

"Ha, ha. You know I didn't say that--"

"Yeah Terra. Even he isn't that thick."

"What d'you mean?" Robin spat.

"You know she can't love. What's the point in trying--"

"She can love. She just doesn't think so..." Robin whispered, then turned on his heel and left them there, Terra still on the floor.

Thursday

"Hi--"

"Go away!"

"Can I still go to the party with you?"

"I--yes...yes I think you should."

"Okay...thanks..." Robin turned and walked to his room.

Friday

"...Yeah Benji. I'm still coming," Raven waved.

"Good, Richard still coming?"

"Yes, he is."

"Okay, see him then too?"

"Uh huh, bye!" she walked to the side of the school and leaned back. "Do I really want to be around him...? Yeah...Benji's friends aren't that keen on leaving girls alone...It's best if Robin does come..."

6:30 PM

"Come on or we'll be late!" Raven yanked on his arm.

"I'm coming, just slow dow--" she pulled him outside.

"You are so slow!" they jumped onto his motorcycle and Raven took out her communicator.

"Haven't seen that in a while, why'd you bring it?"

"Need to call Benji for directions."

On a beach

"We're here...wherever here is..." they had finally arrived; it was seven fourteen and they still couldn't find the entrance.

"There!" Raven pointed to a rock with flashing lights bouncing off of it.

"Rae! Come on down!" some boys called.

"D'you know them?" asked Robin.

"Of course," she lied. "Hey guys!" she ran to them while Robin locked his bike. He soon followed.

"That ch'yer boyfriend?" asked one.

"Richard?" she thrust her thumb at him walking towards them. "Yeah. That's him--"

"Raven! I knew you'd come!" Benji jumped out from behind a huge rock. "The real party's downstairs!" he looked at Robin. "Hey Rich, how's it?"

"I'm fine. I guess we're a little late..."

"Did everyone get here early?" asked Raven.

"Yeah. They started the party and hour ago. I just got here at six forty-five," he smiled. "Come on in!"

"Be right there!" she called after him. "Okay Robin listen...these people...they think we're dating okay. It's not really something I want to explain, but even Benji thinks so. You have to pretend we are okay?"

"Your really asking me if that's okay?"

"Pretend!" she repeated, then pulled him behind the rock.

What they saw was astounding. A huge hole was in the boulder, and inside were hundreds of people. It looked as if everyone from school had been invited.

"Wow..." Robin let slip. "Think of what kind of trouble could happen at a rave like this..."

"Rave? I think there's plenty of room for everyone," Raven yelled back over the pounding music.

"Looks it...but I bet hardly anyone has arrived yet," he smiled. After about and hour of dancing and yelling over the pounding music, they sat down outside.

"Woo...that was fun..." Robin lay down on the cold grass and watched the fading sun.

"Yeah...and it's not even dark yet..." she acknowledged.

"Yeah..." he sat up. "Raven...those boys are staring at us again..."

"Oh no...just ignore them--"

"Um...hi?"

"Terra! What're you doing here?" Raven gasped.

"We were invited," she pointed at Beast boy, who was trying to impress a group of senior girls by changing into adorable animals.

"Ok...cool...I guess..." she smiled sweetly.

"We just got here so we're gonna go dance," Terra walked up to Beast boy and picked his little puppy form up. There was an uproar of protest until Beast boy changed back into a human; then the other girls left.

Raven and Robin sniggered as he gloomily followed Terra to the rock.

"Weird that they're here..."

"Yeah, I guess." Robin lay back down and closed his eyes.

"They're still staring..." Raven whispered to herself.

"They probably expect us to start makin' out..." Robin exhaled.

"Very funny. I don't think so--" she stopped as about four of them broke off from the group and came to her.

"Sense your boyfriend is asleep, wanna come hang with us?" one whispered.

"Sure--No thanks...actually...I really shouldn't."

"Oh come on Rae! It'll be fun!" he protested.

"Yeah come on!" others broke in, still whispering.

"What do they want?" asked Robin, half sitting half laying.

"Can we borrow Rae for a while? We wanna show her something cool," one asked.

"Sure, I won't stop you," Raven raised her eyebrows in shock. She stared at him until he finally looked at her, and, seeing her shocked and disgusted expression, he changed his mind. "Wait, I love this song! Come dance with me Raven!" he pulled her up and left the boys on the ground.

"Close call." Raven frowned as they walked away slowly from the party.

"You wanna go?"

"It's only eight! Why would we leave?"

"Rae!" someone called.

"I so don't wanna talk to them anymore!"

"You want me to get rid of them?"

"Yes! Please do--" he leaned down and began kissing her right as the boys came into view.

"Come on guys," the seven walked away whispering.

Raven broke the kiss. It took all of her strength not to freak out and lose control. She wrapped her arms around Robin and placed her head on his chest.

"I'm sorry Raven..." he whispered into her hair.

"I'm not," she whispered back. "I kept control..." she looked up at him.

"You...nothing happened?"

"Nothing happened..." she smiled weakly at him and he leaned down again.

Right as their lips touched a scream sounded. They yanked away at the same time and turned toward the rock.

The shadows of people were everywhere in the red light. A gun. A huge person. A body in it's arms.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" came the screams from the crowd.

Then an even more devastating scream that pierced Raven's ears forever...

"Benji!"
