The Ring

Raven looked up at Robin.

"What I was just wondering?" Robin said skating over and holding out his hand to help her up.

Raven got up with out taking his hand and gave him a dirty look.

"I've always been able to skate." Raven said still glaring at him.

"Why don't you ever skate when the rest of the team does?"

"Why are you being so nosey?"

"Sorry Raven I didn't mean to be so nosey." Robin said apologizing to her.

Raven rolled her eyes and skated to the exit of the ring.

Robin skated in front of her.

"Raven don't leave! Stay and skate with me for a while." Robin said pushing Raven back into the ice ring.

Raven glared at him. "Robin get out of my way!" Raven said as robin turned black and Raven lifted him into the air and placed him on the far side of the ring.

Then Raven yanked off her skates as fast as she could and dashed down the stairs and into her room.

She yanked of her outfit and threw it into the box then she tossed it under her bed and put her pajamas back on.

Early the next morning.

Raven woke up and threw her cape on over her pajamas and rushed down the hall and into the kitchen.

She fixed a cup of herbal tea and sat down on the couch to read a book.

She was in the middle of a chapter when Robin walked in he sat down beside her and turned on the TV.

"Sorry about last night Rae I didn't mean to …" Robin was cut off by Raven.

"Don't worry about it Robin." Raven said looking up and smiling at him.

Then Raven got up from the couch and closed her book.

"Hey Raven do you wanna do something tonight like a movie or something?" Robin asked.

"Um…I can't." Raven said remembering her date with Andrew and Alanna.

"Raven it doesn't hurt to have fun sometimes."

Raven winced and looked at Robin. "I can't go because I have plans to night."

Then she walked out of the room leaving Robin starring after her.

Later that day

Robin walked down to the garage to talk to Cyborg about Raven.

"Hey CY can we talk?" Robin asked as he seen the half robot's legs sticking out from under the car.

"Sure just a sec." Cyborg said as he slid out from under the car. "So what do you wanna talk about?"

"About Raven." Robin said knowing how close Raven and Cyborg were. He was like her big brother.

"Oh," Cyborg said opening the driver's door of the T car and motioning for Robin to get in the passenger's side. "What about her?"

"Do you know who she has plans with tonight?" Robin said.

"No I don't. She usually stays in her room meditating."

"Well she said she had plans tonight. Did you know that she could ice skate?"

"Yeah she used to ice skate all the time with a friend back in Azarath."

"Why doesn't she now?"

"I don't know."

"Thanks Cyborg if you find out anything will about to night will you let me know?"

"I will so long as she doesn't make me promise not to tell." Cyborg said not wanting to break any promises with Raven.

Robin smiled and walked out of the garage.

The Ice skating ring.

Raven watched as Andrew walked up holding Alanna's hand. Andrew was easy to spot in a crowd. He was the type that always caught a girls attention all though he didn't flirt with any girls when he was with another girl. It just wasn't he's way of doing things.

Andrew walked up to her and Raven finally got a good look at Alanna.

She was about to Raven's knees in height. Her eyes were violet and her black hair had purple highlight and was natural banana curls that fell all the way down just below her hips and was pulled into piggy tails just at the bottom of her head.

She was wearing white ear muffs and a pink ice skating outfit at the bottom of the sleeves was white fur and the same with the bottom of her skirt which like Raven's came just below her butt. And her tights were pink and she was wearing black boots. In her right hand was a small pair of white skates.

Raven and Andrew sat down beside Alanna on a bench.

Alanna pulled off her boots and put on her skates then she looked up at Andrew.

"Daddy can you tie my skate?" Alanna said in this small little voice.

"Sure baby." Andrew said lacing Alanna's skates.

Raven watched and a smile tugged the corner of her lips Raven slipped on her skates and began lacing them.

"Ready?" Andrew asked.

"Yeah." Raven said walking onto the ring holding Alanna's hand.

Andrew was the last to enter the ring holding Alanna's other hand. They took off skating around the ring.

"So Alanna what's your favorite color?" Raven asked trying to make conversation with her daughter.

"Purple." Alanna said.

"Do you like to read?" Raven asked again.

"Yeah." Alanna answered

"What's your favorite food?"

"Pizza"

"Have you learned to fly yet?"

"I can a little."

Raven looked down at the little girl as she let go of Raven and Andrew's hand and took off skating around the ring by herself.

Raven followed close behind keeping an eye on her and trying to talk to Andrew all at once.

"So," Andrew started but Raven was distracted by a man in the corner of the ring keeping he's distance but still watching her.

She looked at him for a minute before she recognized who it was.

"Raven is that a yes?" Andrew asked interrupting her train of thought.

"Um hold on just on second I'll be right back." Raven said cutting throught the middle of the ring and right at the mysterious man.

Noticing that she was coming at him he took off skating away from her. Raven skated as fast as she could weaving in and out of people and finally she was within inches of him.

She reached out and yanked off the long brown jacket that covered his body.

He spun around to face her but he didn't have to for Raven to know who he was. It was Cyborg.

"What are you doing here?" Raven asked though she was pretty sure she knew the answer.

"I was skating." Cyborg said and Raven knew he was lying.

"Your were spying." Raven said glaring at him.

"Look Raven Robin put me up to it! He wanted to no what you were up to."

Raven starred at him then she said as best she could without anyone overhearing them.

"Cyborg don't tell anyone what you saw tonight! I'll tell you the whole story when I get home just don't tell anyone."

"I won't Raven."

"Promise me."

"I promise." Raven smiled and waved good bye to him before she skated back to Andrew and Alanna.
