SCHOOL'S OUT!

A MONTH OF GOOFING OFF AND FOOLING AROUND!

JUST ONE MOREDAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

Alright I've calmed down a little now.

Sorry it's been a while sinceI last updated. I had to finish all my school work before the hols. Plus I'm a part of the student council and we organized a last minute disco. It was a lot of fun even though the dragon has four left feet.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars, Teen Titans, Harry Potter, Superman, Justice League or anything to that effect. So to sum it up I basically own nothing.

Well I hope you guys like this chapter.

P.S. When the words are in (brackets) it means they're talking in Xarthian.

Rich stared at is reflection in the full-length mirror. He was wearing Jedi clothes. Underneath the shirt was the thinner armor he had received. It was surprisingly comfortable.

He looked around his now fully furnished room. Just as his mother predicted it had been two weeks before they were ready to set off. Two weeks of having fun and feasting and hunting and other such things. Rich had accomplished a lot in just two weeks. He had perfected telepathically talking to Thunder. Now he could talk to Thunder as well. He had grown immensely fond of the two Labradors.

He had become extremely close to all his family members especially Eli. He admired his father greatly and looked up to him. His father was strong, smart, just and kind. Everything you want in a king. He had already taught Rich quite a bit. He loved and cared about his mother immensely. She too was strong, powerful and smart. She was loving and caring and calm. The two would just sit for hours and talk. As Eli had told him if you were ever in trouble go to mom. If you ever wanted something go to dad. Eli and Rich had bonded the most. They had told each other their live stories and they had gotten so close they even talked at the same time.

He walked over to his bed where a belt that held all his weapons lay. He had his sword, his saber, his bo-staff and a dagger his father had given him. He put it on. He pulled out his picture of Raven.

"Wish me luck Rae." He said. He carefully put it back into his pocket. This was the only item he was taking with him that didn't fall under the category equipment or clothes.

"Ready to go Rich?" Eli asked as she entered the room. She along with Tony, Obi-Wan and his parents were allowed to call him Rich. Everyone else either called him Dick, Richard or your Majesty.

"Yeah." He replied as he walked towards the door. Shadow and Blaze followed at his heels. The two siblings walked through the palace and through the grounds until they reached the plane port. Their parents and Obi-Wan were waiting by a huge ship. They knew their few bags and their horses were already on board.

"Well you two." Their mother began as they approached. "Be good. Work hard. Okay."

"Right mom." They said at the same time.

"I'm really going to miss it here." Eli said.

"You mean you're really going to miss your make out sessions with Tony." Her father said with a smile. Eli blushed crimson.

"WHAT!" she cried. "RICHARD. YOU TOLD?"

"Well take a look at the time. We really should get going." Rich said hurriedly.

"Good bye sweetheart." The emperor said chuckling. "See you soon son."

"Bye dad." Rich said.

"Bye daddy." Eli said. With that the three boarded the ship and were off.

Two days later

"Well we're here." Obi-Wan said as he landed the ship.

"Where exactly is here?" Robin asked.

"We are in the main base of the Jedi. Your training shall begin here." Obi-Wan replied.

Fifteen minutes later

"Welcome your Majesties. It's good to see you again Master Obi-Wan Kenobi." Said a tall man as they entered

"You too young one. You too." Obi-Wan said.

"Who will be taking care of their Majesties Jedi training?" asked the man.

"I will be." Obi-Wan said.

"Err……yeah. I've been meaning to ask. What exactly is a Jedi?" Robin asked.

"You'll see. And if you make it to Jedi master level all your other training will be pretty simple." Obi-Wan said with a laugh.

And here I could write for days on end, but I would never be able to give a full description of all their adventures during their training days so I'm just going to have to jump ahead. But I assure you it was tons of work, but also tons of fun.

Five years later

"Master where are we going now?" asked a much older Richard Grayson. At nineteen he was over six feet tall. His sky blue eyes now possessed the same air that Obi-Wan's held. His voice was deeper and his hair was cut short and was spiked with a long rat tail. He was broad shouldered and muscular. He had a very calm and powerful air around him. He was obviously an extremely skilled and powerful warrior.

"We are going home." Obi-Wan said with a smile waiting for the cry of excitement. It had after all been five long years since they had last seen their home planet. Sure they had had conversations over transmitters, but that wasn't the same.

"WE'RE HEADING HOME? ALRIGHT." Rich shouted as he did a flip in the air.

At that point Eli entered the room. She too had grown up quite a bit. She was the exact same height as he was. She too was more muscular than before. Her hazel eyes had the same air that Rich's had. She also possessed a very calm and powerful air around her. It was obvious she too was an extremely skilled and powerful warrior.

"Hey El." He shouted. "We're going back to Xarth."

"What?" she exclaimed. "That's great. We get to see mom and daddy again and I finally get to see Tony." Obi-Wan chuckled.

"That's right young ones." He said. He still called them young ones even though neither was young anymore. "But first we have to stop at Earth so I can repair those damages we received during that meteorite shower."

"Earth?" Rich asked. "Where on Earth?"

"On the outskirts of a place called Jump City." Obi-Wan replied.

"JUMP CITY!" The twins said together.

"Yes. Why what's wrong with Jump City……" Obi-Wan began, but stopped as he remembered. "Oh. Rich I'm sorry. I can try to find another spot. It's just that the outskirts of Jump is the only place that has low enough security to land unnoticed."

"No. No Master. It's alright." Rich said. Obi-Wan smiled and nodded.

"Sit down and strap yourselves in young ones." Obi-Wan said as he prepared to land.

Fifteen minutes later

"Well we're here. Why don't you two go into town and get something to eat and drink." Obi-Wan said as he gave them both a large number of dollars.

"Right" they both said at the same time. Rich whistled and two huge Labradors came bounding towards him. Shadow and Blaze were both grown up. They were nice, muscled, well-trained, well-groomed dogs.

"Let's go." He said before the four headed off towards the city.

"So we have tonnes of money." Eli said once they were in the very center of Jump City. "What's the most expensive and fancy restaurant around here?"

"Well let's see. Last time I was here the fanciest was……" he suddenly stopped. "Danger."

"I sensed it too." Eli said. At that exact point they noticed the Titans on a roof top fighting Slade. Raven was fighting off Slade and doing a pretty good job too. That was until Slade managed to get a hold on Speedy's throat and held him in front of himself so that she couldn't attack without putting Speedy in danger.

"They need help." Eli exclaimed. The two siblings raced to the building and using the force scaled it. Rich moved faster than Eli, who was using the force to carry up the dogs as well, and reached sooner. As he approached the top he did a flip and landed on the roof. Slade still had Speedy by the throat and Raven was thinking over what to do.

"Hey Slade. Let him go you ass hole." He shouted. Slade dropped the Titan. Everyone stared at him for a long time.

"So" said Slade finally. "Looks like the Robin finally came back to the nest." At this point Eli joined him on top of the roof.

"Rich, who the hell is this guy?" Eli asked as everyone stared at her with surprise and shock on their faces.

"Remember that Slade guy I told you about?" Rich asked calmly. Eli nodded. "Well this is him."

"This is the guy that kicked your ass every time you guys fought?" Eli asked. Rich nodded. "No offence Rich, but he looks awfully weak."

"Weak?" Slade shouted. "I'll show you weak."

He charged at Rich and threw a punch. Rich held up his hand and caught Slade's fist. Slade tried to free himself, but Rich was too strong. Rich grabbed Slade's elbow, picked him up and tossed him over his head. Slade smashed into the hard concrete floor. Before Slade could even realize what had just happened Rich spun around and kicked him square in the chest. Slade flew across the roof and then suddenly froze in mid air. Slade looked around. The armor that covered the area Rich had kicked had been smashed in. he wondered what was holding up. Then he noticed that Rich's hand was in the air. Rich pulled his hand towards him and made a fist. Slade instantly flew through the air towards Rich. Just as Slade was approaching Eli leapt into the air and came smashing down on top of Slade using her legs to smash him through the roof and into the floor below. A second later she came back up carrying Slade's body. She threw it on the floor of the roof. Slade stirred and Shadow and Blaze who had been quiet up until now leapt on top of him and snarled fiercely.

"That was……" Eli began.

"……too easy." Rich finished. The two turned around to find the Titans staring at them. Rich and Eli stared back.

The Titans had changed too. Speedy had grown taller. Beast Boy was no longer a wimpy boy. Cyborg had advanced his technology. Starfire had grown as well. There was a blonde girl as well who Rich didn't know. Finally there was Raven. Other than being taller, stronger and in his opinion even more beautiful than before she was still the same old Raven. But Rich was much taller and muscular than all of them. There was silence for nearly five minutes.

"Friend Robin is it really you?" Starfire asked finally. Rich remained quiet.

"Rich" said Raven. "Is it you?" Rich stared at her. Then suddenly he smiled.

"Yeah." He said. "It's me." With that he stepped forward and pulled her into a tight bear hug. She tensed up.

"Your hugging me." Raven stated.

"Your point is?" Rich asked. Raven remained tense for a little while then she relaxed and hugged him back. He pulled away for a moment and looked around. He felt anger go through him as he saw Starfire and Speedy standing next to each other.

"Robin. Man it's great to see you." Beast Boy said.

"I would prefer if you were to refer to me as Richard or Dick. Whichever appeals to you." Rich said his voice hard and cold.

"Okay." Said Cyborg. "Dick what happened to you? Where'd you go? Who is she? How'd you get so powerful? Why'd you leave?"

Before Rich could even begin to answer, out of no where Obi-Wan leapt on to the roof.

"Young ones……" he began then noticed the wreckage. He looked first at the twins, then at Slade, then at the twins again, then at the Titans and finally back towards the twins.

"People ask me what it's like to train the Grayson twins and I just don't know what to tell them." He said finally.

"It's not our fault Master. He attacked them and they needed help." The twins said together.

"And I take it these are the Teen Titans." Obi-Wan said. The twins nodded. Obi-Wan surveyed each of them. He recognized Raven from the picture he had seen all those years ago. "Right." He turned to the twins and started speaking in Xarthian.

(There is a slight difficulty.) Obi-Wan said.

(What is it?) Asked Rich who was fluent in many languages, including Xarthian.

(Our hyperspace pod has been completely smashed off. I deployed an android to go and inform Xarth, but it will be a day or two before the android will make it to Xarth. So we shall need lodgings for a while.) Obi-Wan said.

(We can stay with the Titans.) Eli said. (Unless that's too weird for you Rich.)

(Well that would be convenient, but young one if you don't want to stay we won't.) Obi-Wan said.

(No. No. It's alright. I'm okay with it. I'll ask.) Rich said. He turned to find the Titans staring at them. "Right. I think you are all long overdue for an explanation and you shall receive one. But first things first. We are of need of lodgings for a day or two and we were wondering if we could stay at the Tower."

"Off course you can stay at the Tower." All the Titans said at once.

"Thank-you." Said the twins at the same time.

"Indeed. Thank-you." Obi-Wan said. "Oh but Rich." Rich looked at him. "Call of Shadow and Blaze. The poor chap has fainted out of fear." The Titans all laughed as Rich whistled and the dogs obediently came over to him.

So after the police had picked up Slade the now rather large group set off to the Tower. Obi-Wan had brought Thunder, Ginger and his own horse, Sky. The others were quite surprised to see the horses beat all their vehicles to the Tower.

Once they were all comfortable in the living room

"First I'd like to know who you are?" Rich asked.

"My name's Terra. I can control all forms of earthen matter." The blonde girl answered.

"Nice to meet you Terra." Rich said bowing to her.

"You too." Terra said.

"Now let's hear your story Rich." Raven said.

"Right." Rich began. "To begin with my real name is Richard Jonathon Grayson. This is my twin sister Ellen though call her anything other than Eli and she'll kill you. We are the sole heirs to the Xarthian Empire." Rich paused for a minute to let everyone take this in.

"WHAAAAT!" they all screamed except Raven.

"There is no such thing as a Xarthian Empire." Cyborg said.

"Yes there is." Raven said quietly. They all stared at her. "Azarath is a part of it. It has been kept top secret for generations. Right?"

"Right." Rich said. Blaze was sitting near his feet and he was gently rubbing Blaze's back with his foot. Shadow had her head on his lap and he was playing with her ears. "Well anyways. A few nights after I left I met Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and he told me I was an emperor and he took me to Xarth. After being in Xarth for about a week we, that is the three of us, left and began on a journey to train. We have been on this journey for five years now. Eli and I are currently at the peak of physical and mental strength." He paused. The others were silent for a long time.

"Our ship was damaged in a meteor shower and our hyperspace pod was destroyed. It will take a bit of time for the android I deployed to reach Xarth and for re-enforcements to reach. So we shall have to lodge with you." Obi-Wan said. The Titans remained silent.

"Are those your dogs?" Raven asked finally. Rich nodded. "Can I pet them or are they as fierce towards everyone as they were towards Slade?"

"Don't worry. Their perfect little angles out of battle. You know wouldn't hurt a fly." Rich said. Raven sat down beside him and started gently stroking Blaze. Blaze sat up and placed his head on Raven's lap. "Their twins. Their half Labrador half wolf. The girl's name is Shadow and the boy's name is Blaze. You can tell them apart because Blaze has dark blue eyes and Shadow has sky blue eyes. I got them when they were just lil pups."

"Their beautiful dogs. And they look really strong and powerful and healthy." Raven said.

"They are adorable." Starfire said walking towards Blaze. However before she could reach him Blaze lifted his head and growled fiercely. Starfire hastily retreated.

And they're really sensible as well. Rich thought.

"Rich why'd you leave?" Cyborg suddenly asked.

"Well first my own team striped me of my title as leader and brought into the open the things I hated most about myself." Rich said without looking up from playing with Shadow, his voice so emotionless it was scary. "Then I find out my ex-girlfriend has been cheating on me with my ex-best friend……"

"Who me?" Cyborg asked.

"No you're my second ex-best friend. Speedy is my first ex-best friend. Next I find out that my ex-girlfriend only dated me because she felt sorry for me. So I decided I needed some time away from you lot of……" And here he added several curses in Xarthian, Tamaranian, Azrathian, English and several other languages that left everyone in the room immensely shocked. He then stood up and without a word left the room.

"Could someone pass me a dictionary?" Raven asked.

At sunset on the roof

"I don't want to talk Raven." Rich said without even turning around to look at her. He was standing on the edge of the roof watching the sunset.

"Don't you remember how much it helped last time?" Raven said. Shadow and Blaze were at her heels. They both had taken a liking to her.

"There is nothing to talk about."

"There is a lot to talk about."

"What do you want to talk about?" He asked as he sat down with his legs dangling over the side.

"Why did you leave?" she asked sitting down beside him. Blaze placed his head on her lap. Shadow placed her head on Rich's lap.

"It hurt Rae. They brought up stuff that I hated about myself. She said stuff that I was always afraid of. I just couldn't take it. I just had to get out of here. I just hated Robin" He muttered.

"That's why you wrecked everything in your room? Everything that had to do with Robin?" Raven asked.

"Not everything." He said before he could stop himself. She looked at him inquiringly. He blushed and pulled out the picture of them. "I couldn't tear it." He whispered as she looked at it. "I couldn't stop thinking about you. I missed you so much." He stopped and took a deep breath. "I think……no I know I've fallen in love with you." He said quietly. "And I know you could never feel the same……" he was cut off by Raven's lips on his. He was surprised but he kissed back. She finally pulled away.

"I love you too." She whispered. "I missed you so much. And believe or not I carried around that same picture." They both chuckled. "But you're going to leave in just a few days." She muttered.

"Yeah. I am. I don't belong here Rae. I have to go back." He said. Raven's face fell. "But when I go back, I'm taking you with me. And I will not take no for an answer." Raven smiled at him and he smiled back. "And furthermore, once I'm named emperor, we can always move the capital to Azarath or somewhere else. And if you really hate the life of an empress all I have to do is name Eli empress and she'll take over." Raven smiled even wider and gently leaned against him. He wrapped an arm around him and gently kissed her forehead. The two sat and watched the sunset together. Eventually they went back inside. They went to Raven's room and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Maybe being here won't be all that bad. Were Rich's last thoughts before he fell asleep next to the girl he had loved for five years.

Well that's all for now folks.

Like I said before people in my fics hook up really quickly. But I assure you there is still quite a bit left. Read & Review.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Dragon. Out.
