OK, the dance is now over, and all of them have been driven over to Jinx's house for the after party. Gar came too, even though he wasn't in their group before. He's with friends, and this party is going to be the craziest Raven has ever been to. Oh yeah, and Kitten didn't come back to their group when the dance ended, so she didn't come. You all probably figured that one out, but you know, just had to clarify that. Oh yeah, and this is from Raven's POV.

And I don't own Teen Titans.

Raven looked down at the small blue duffel bag she held in her hands. Her mom had packed her favorite pajamas, her toothbrush, and her stuffed elephant for the night at Jinx's house. As she looked at the elephant, whose name was Mr. Trunkie, she felt as if she was only five years old.

Raven sighed quietly. She wished she was five years old. Too young to understand all the arguments that her parents had. Too young to wonder why Mommy had all those strange shaped bruises. Too young to care about anything other than making sure her night light was always on.

"You all right?"

Jinx's voice broke in on Raven's thoughts. She looked up, and was slightly startled to see that she was standing in Jinx's bedroom, holding a duffel bag and accompanied by three other girls.

"Yeah," Raven said hoarsely, before clearing her throat and repeating, in a clearer voice, "Yeah." Jinx came over to stand next to her, and looked down into her duffel bag.

"It's Mr. Trunkie!" she screamed excitedly, seizing the small stuffed elephant and beginning to dance around the room with it. "I haven't seen him for ages!" Raven felt her cheeks burn, and felt relieved that none of the guys, Garfield in particular, were in the room.

"Aw, he's cute," Kori walked over to where Jinx was now flopped down on her bed, holding Mr. Trunkie above her, making him do a silly little dance.

"He reminds me of my favorite stuffed animal," Bea giggled. "Mine's a stuffed gorilla named Danny."

"Jinx has a giraffe named Ploopie-Woop," Raven said, laughing.

"Hey!" Jinx yelled as Kori and Bea erupted into a fit of laughter which resulted in the two of them writhing on the floor. "I was two when I named him! The name just kinda stuck." She cast a glance to a corner of her room, in which a rather battered-looking giraffe lay.

"How 'bout you, Kori?" Bea asked as the two heaved themselves up from the floor.

"I named my favorite teddy bear Mowy, because I couldn't say the letter 'l' when I named her," Kori said, smiling as a hint of a blush crept into her cheeks.

After the laughter subsided, Jinx tossed Mr. Trunkie back over to Raven, saying, "You'd better get you PJ's on. We've left the guys unattended in the basement for way too long. We'll be lucky if they haven't found my mom's album of our baby pictures."

Thinking about all the embarrassing pictures Jinx's mom had of her and Jinx, Raven hastily took her pajamas out of her bag and pulled them on. After wearing a dress for three hours, Raven felt glad to be pulling on her favorite long-sleeved pajamas.

"C'mon," Jinx led the way out of her room. Her still curly pink hair bobbed as she bounded down the stairs. Kori and Bea followed, and Raven brought up the rear.

The four girls went all the way down to Jinx's large basement, and looked out on it from the stairs.

The six guys were spread all over the room; Vic and Robin were lounging on the squashy couch, Leo, Roy, and Garth were all standing over by the ping pong table, and Garfield was busy looking at Jinx's family's large collection of music. All six looked up as the girls entered, and Raven found herself immediately wishing she was wearing something other than pajamas with silly black birds on them.

"All right, they're back!" Vic exclaimed. Jinx vaulted over the banister to land on the arm of the sofa. Raven, Kori, and Bea all walked down the stairs the rest of the way, making a less dramatic entrance.

Robin and Vic moved to either end of the couch, making more room. Kori and Bea immediately sat down next to the two. Jinx began pulling beanbags and large pillows in front of the sofa for everyone else, helped by Raven, as she knew where everything was.

The rest of the guys, Raven, and Jinx all sat on the beanbags and pillows, huddled together so they were all in front of the television. Jinx picked up the remote, and turned the large TV on.

"What are we watching?" she asked, picking up a few movies from the floor. "We've got Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Napoleon Dynamite…"

She trailed away as the majority of the group shouted, "Napoleon Dynamite!"

Jinx put the DVD in, turned the television to the right settings, and played the movie.

Yeah, I know this one was really short, but that was because I needed something to fill up the space before I got to the good parts.
