Disclaimer: Teen Titans Me No Ownie

A/N: the team order has to be rearranged a little bit so here's the new order: Team 1 is Kori and Roy. Team 2 is Terra and Gar. Team 3 is Bee and Vic and Team 4 is still Raven and Dick.

Recap

"Ok. Kori and Roy, you're going to be Team 1. Bee and Vic, you're Team 2. Terra and Gar are Team 3 and me and Rae will be Team 4," Dick said. Everybody know their teams. He paused as eveybody looked around then nodded. "Great. Let's play then."

End Recap

They started playing. Kori was supposed to bowl first. She did and got a gutter ball. She tried a second time and got another gutter ball.

"Hey Kori, you want some pointers?" Roy asked her. "I could show you how to get the ball to hit a pin(at least)"

"Thank you friend Roy," she said blushing. In order to show her properly Roy had to guide her hands. He wrapped his arms around her and held her right hand. He talked her through the process, showing her along the way.

"K now you try it on your own," he said.

"Alright, so you do this," she pulled her arm back, "then you do this and let go right here," she talked herself through it glancing at Roy while doing it. He nodded and she let go. The bowling ball made it's way down the alley and hit the center pin dead on. Before anyone could blink Kori had a strike. "I did it!" she squealed. "Thank you Roy for teaching me the proper way to toss the ball of bowling and knock down the funny looking vertical sticks!" Roy sweat dropped when he figured out what Kori had said. Kori had just moved from the East so she didn't understand the way that people acted in Jump City.

"Anytime Kori. I'm happy to help."

"When you two are done making-," Terra started but was cut off when Raven gave her a death glare that dared her to finish the insult that she was about to say. "I mean can I have my turn now?" she asked rubbing the back of her head nervously glancing at Raven who had a small smile and was nodding slowly, glancing up at Dick every now and then to make sure that he wasn't watching her but then again, you could never be too sure where he was looking when he was wearing those glasses.

"Hey!" Gar exclaimed, "why do you get to go first?" he asked pouting.

"Because it's ladies first you idiot and I could so take you down if you want to figth for who goes first," she replied threateningly.

Gar gave a small 'eep' and hid behind Raven. She rolled her eyes and started to try and pry him off her. She started to get impatient after two tries.

"Gar you idiot, get off me now," she whispered. Trying not to draw the other's attention, especially Dick's who was sitting really close to her. "Get off you lousy good for nothing git. I mean it Gar," he was still holding her tightly around the waist. "GAR YOU FREAKIN' IDIOT GET OFF ME RIGHT NOW YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING VEGGIE EATING BLOB!" she roared clearly pissed. Gar still held onto her and she started fuming.

"Hey need some help," Dick said, in more of a statement then a question. he walked over and grasped Gar's hands and pried them apart enough for Raven to step out of them. This lead to another predicament. Raven had stepped out of Gar's arms but had stepped straight into Dick's. She started to blush.

"Thanks," she mumbled, "I really need to get some new friends," she muttered under her breath, more to herself then anyone else as she took Gar's hand and helped him up.

"What was that?" Dick asked turning back to her.

"Nothing."

"All right," he said shrugging then turned back to the game. While he was helping pry Gar off Raven he had missed seeing Terra miss all of the pins and Bee was throwing he last ball and she missed all the pins to. "So your turn or my turn?" Dick asked. He smiled as Raven's head shot up. She clearly hadn't been paying attention and if she was she was surprised that Dick was offering her to take it instead of either telling her to throw or taking the turn himself. She had thought that that was what he was going to do after seeing how he seemed like a born leader.

"It doesn't really matter," she muttered. "You should probably go first 'cause I can't really bowl that well."

"Says who?" he asked "I see you here all the time bowling."

"Ya, I'm the one keeping score. I can't bowl," she growled.

"I can teach you my little trick for getting a nearly perfect strike," he said smiling. "I can get another lane for us to practice on."

"Ok. How can you get another lane?" she asked looking up with her eyebrow raised.

"It's really easy. My dad owns this place so they can always get a lane for me," he said.

"Sounds good."

Five minutes later they were in their own lane. Raven was surprised how causal he was about getting things done his way.

"Ok, so first you stand over at the far left of the lane," he guided her over. "Then you pull your arm back to around... here. Just like that. Let your arm loose and let go, at this angle, right here," she let go of the bowling ball with his guidance and watched as it turned halfway down the lane and hit the center pin dead on and knocked down the other ones, earning her a perfect strike. "You did it!" he exclaimed looking at her with a smile on his face. She looked up at him with a smile and started to blush when she realized that he was holding her shoulders.

"Thanks for showing me how," Raven said smiling.

"You try it on your own now," Dick said handing her another bowling ball. She looked up at him surprised. "Don't worry, you can do it Rae."

"I'll try," she muttered turning away because she had started to blush again when he called her Rae. She tried again and got another strike.

"You got it."

"Are you sure that it's not just beginners luck?"

"I'm sure that it's not beginner's luck but if you want to try again you go ahead."

She tried again and got another strike. "Ok now I'm starting to think that it's not just beginners luck."

"Told you so. So now that you've got that mastered, do you want to go reward yourself with a glass of pop. My treat," Dick offered.

"Sure I guess," Raven said. "But you really don't have to," She said hastily.

"No it's fine, I want to."

Raven walked over to a table with two chairs and sat down waiting for Dick to get back with their drinks. He came with a Pepsi and herbal tea and sat down after passing the tea to Raven.

"So do you want to talk or ask me about anything?" Dick asked. "If you want to I'll start."

"Ok. What do you want to be when you get out of school?" Raven asked.

"What I want to do when I get out of school is stupid," he muttered.

"Fine then. I'll tell you want I want to be first if you tell me your idea after."

"Sure," he mumbled sighing. Raven couldn't help but smirk. For the first time that night when she was talking to him he didn't want to talk.

"When I get out of school I want to be a reporter."

"Really!" he said looking up surprised.

"Why do you sound so surprised? Didn't think that I looked like the reporter type or what?" she asked teasingly.

"No it's just that I thought that you'd want to do something different," he stammered.

"Oh really, like what?" she asked leaning in over the table.

"I don't know. Have you ever seen CSI?" he asked.

"Yes and I really hope that there's a point in asking me this because if you're just trying to change the subject you're in trouble."

"Did you see the one where the woman was murdered and Grisom and his team found liquid latex on her?"

"Yes..."

"You know where she worked and there was this Lady somethinwatsername?"

"Yes, and right now would be a nice time to tell me exactly what you're getting to," she said starting to lose the little patience that she possessed.

"I thought that you'd want to be somethin like that person."

"You thought that I'd be something like that!" she laughed. "If you were Gar or Terra or someone else that knew me well I'd say that there was something wrong with your head but you don't really know me so I'll let you get away with it."

"Um...thanks...I think."

She laughed again. "Your turn."

"I guess I really want to do the same thing as you," he said looking extremely serious. "I want to be a reporter."

"Really that is so cool. Who do you want to write for?" she asked looking at him.

"Just the Jump City Gazette. Nothing too big. My dad wants me to do something bigger though."

"Same with my dad. He wants me to be a business tycoon. I can't understand what he says during Monopoly let alone when are a lot of other people shouting things like that," she sighed and put her head in her hands. "People who invented Monopoly should die a very painful death. Oh God, now I'm starting to sound like Terra," she said lifting her head up and smiling at Dick.

"Wow. I didn't know that. My dad wants me to do the same thing. My dad owns Wayne Enterprises. What do your dad own?"

"Devil's Inc. He wants me to marry a guy who only wants me for my money and dad's company. I hate that type of business and I want to wait for the right guy who wants me for me. Dad wants me to be a stay at home mom and not get any jobs. I swear, he don't know anything about me the stinkin-" she said something that made Dick's head shoot up.

"Never knew you were the type to swear," he exclaimed.

"And that would surprise me why?" she asked. "Never mind I don't want to know the answer to that."

"Ok then. So do you want to go bowling now," he asked.

"Um," she started but was cut off when the lady at the front desk turned on the intercom and there was a earsplitting beep.

"The bowling alley will be closing in five minutes. Anyone who has not left by that time will be removed by force," the intercom cracked again then went silent.

"In other words, get your lazy butts out of here so I can get home to my small apartment and continue my pointless life," Raven mimicked and Dick laughed.

"Well I guess that we're going to have to pack up and leave now, before we're 'removed by force' so I guess that we won't get time to bowl anymore," he said. "Do you want me to walk you home?"

"I-I don't know...sure. Why not," she said sighing.

"Fine then. I'll just tell the others that I'm walking you home and we can leave if your ready," he said getting up and leaving.

"I'm ready to go now," Raven said when Dick came back. She hauled on her jacket. "I just have one question: why do you want to walk me home anyway?"

"You never know who could be out on the street and I don't want you to get hurt," he replied shrugging as if it was the most obvious answer ever.

"Ok."

After a fifteen minute walk Raven stopped.

"Why'd you stop?" Dick asked her.

"Because I live here," she dead panned.

"Oh right," he sweat dropped and rubbed the back of his head. "I really enjoyed tonight and we didn't get a chance to finish our game so do you wanna go out sometime?" he asked.

"That would be nice," Raven replied. A soft smile illuminating her features. "I had fun tonight to."

"Well I guess that I'll see you around Raven," Dick said.

"Ya. Bye," she said and closed the door.

Dick looked at the closed door and sighed then he smiled. He might be able to take Raven out again. This night was turning out to be perfect.

A/N: this chappy was mostly Raven and Dick getting to know each other. Next chappy will be school.
