I do not own Ranma or Teen Titans. I'm sorry I forgot to put this in last chapter.

IMPORTANT: Please don't hurt me. I'm leaving how people met for the next chapter because this is still a chapter for intro's and such. I let on a whole lot though so you aren't exactly left in the blue.

The four other Titans looked from one to the other with question mark floating over their head MGS style. Both stared at each other for a few moments eying each other warily. They circled, looked each other in they eyes, and ran into a bone crushing hug that knocked the wind out of them. Both let go and had matching smiles on their faces, Raven's being the biggest. Now, I want you to imagine what the expressions on the other Titans faces looked like. That's right, I want you to picture this in your mind and ingrain it, because it will possibly be the funniest thing you will ever see. Robin looked out the window to see if the sky was falling or possibly the Apocalypse was coming. Cyborg's and Beast Boy's jaws hit the floor with a loud CLUNK and each tried to see if what was happening actually was happening. Beast Boy blinked, blinked again, blinked some more, rubbed his eyes and finally pinched himself on the but so hard it would actually scar. Cyborg threw out every scan known to man and when he finished, went to join Robin by the window to see if a flock of cows and pigs were flying. Starfire had hearts in her eyes and said,

"Oh yeeeeeeeeeeaaaa! Raven has shown emotion!"

Birdies were circling her head and she was floating around with her hands together, sighing dreamily. After both Robin and Cyborg had realized that the sky was not falling, the Apocalypse was not at hand and a flock of cows and pigs were not flying, Cyborg went to stand next to Beast Boy. Beast Boy said,

"Ya know, I'm suddenly in the mood for steak."

Cyborg nodded and said,

"Yeah, pass me some Tofu, will ya BB?"

Both walked over to the fridge and grabbed each other's respective foods and guzzled it down so that neither could have second thoughts. Robin looked at the beaming Raven and said,

"Um, how do you two know each other?"

Both realized that four other people were there and blushed furiously. Both tried to stutter out an answer when the other four noticed that Raven was blushing and went back to what they did before to make sure the Apocalypse was not coming.

"Uh Ray? Why are they all acting like it's the end of the world?"

She shrugged and lied straight through her teeth, like any normal friend would.

"Don't really know."

Ranma smiled and said,

"It's great seeing you again. I guess this means you got past your trouble spot with your powers?" She returned the smile and said,

"Yeah, and it looks like you got past that ridiculous speed training of your Father's unscathed."

Ranma nervously tugged on his pig tail and said,

"Actually...I didn't."

Raven's eyes widened in surprise and she said,

"You didn't? What happened then?"

Ranma sighed and said,

"It's a long story. Might as well sit down, your gonna need ta."

She quirked an eyebrow and said,

"Yeah right Ranma. What did that poor excuse of a Father do that I don't know about? Engage you to numerous women and put you through life endangering training again?"

Ranma shifted uncomfortably on his feet and said,

"Well, um...actually...he...did."

Robin came over and said,

"Wow, I knew your Dad was bad when I met him, but I didn't know he was that bad."

Ranma chuckled dryly and said,

"Oh, he's done worse, like sell me off to random strangers so he could feed his own stomach."

Robin looked oddly at Ranma and said,

"Isn't that kind of, uh how do I this...illegal?"

Ranma quirked an eyebrow and said,

"Do you think that stopped Pop's?"

Robin shook his head and said,

"Sadly, no. I don't think that ever had stopped him."

Beast Boy and Cyborg had been standing behind Robin and heard everything. Cyborg sarcastically said,

"Geez, sounds like your Dad is Dad of the year material."

Ranma snorted and said,

"You have no idea. Here, let me tell you guys the watered down version of my life. It'll still take a while though."

And so, Ranma displayed his life story for everyone to see and by the end everyone was gaping, except for Raven who was accidentally strangling Genma many countries and a few large bodies of water away. The strangle stopped though as Robin said,

"You know, your Dad seems to have broken more laws involving child care from when you and I met that I think even social services would care to deal with. And what about this 'Jusenkyo' curse? I gotta see this."

Ranma sighed tiredly and said,

"Everyone does."

While Robin was going to get the water, Cyborg chipped in by saying,

"How did you meet Robin? You kinda glossed over that."

Ranma chuckled and said,

"Oh, me an my Pop's made a stop by Gotham and helped stop a robbery that Robin and Batman were in the middle of."

Cyborg nodded and said,

"So what happened after that?"

"Well, me an' Pop's were allowed to come by the mansion for a while and rest up. After the first couple of days, me and Robin became friends and would play ranks on Pop's and Batman. We also used to spar a lot and we taught each other some of our moves. After a couple of months, Pop's made me leave and me an' Robin have mostly been out of touch since then."

Cyborg nodded and then looked mischievously over to Raven. He smirked and said,

"You also haven't haven't told us how you met Raven. I mean, I amazed she jumped all over you and actually smiled. It like she has emoti-"

He was cut off as a black aura covered fridge hit Cyborg on the head and Raven said,

"OOPS! Did I do that?"

Everyone in the room sweat dropped except Ranma who laughed his ass off and said,

"Aw man, still the same old Raven I remember."

Everyone gaped at him and Beast Boy said,

"You mean she used to do that all the time?"

Ranma laughed and said,

"Oh yeah. Me an' her used to play the best jokes on those stuffy old monks. Then after that we-"

He cut himself off at remembering it and quickly shoved as much of anything in close enough range into his mouth to stop him from finishing it. It turns out, he had stuffed three magazines and a car model so he pulled it out to the enormous sweat drops of everyone around. The only one not sweat dropping was Raven who was floating behind everyone so they didn't see her fire engine red face which would definitely cause another bout of Apocalypse watching if the other Titans saw it. Ranma on the other hand knew exactly why she was blushing and was trying to ignore the fact himself. Beast Boy had other plans however, very dangerous and diabolical plans.

"What did you two guys do?"

Cyborg removed previously thrown fridge from his head and said,

"Yeah, I'd like to know why you two are so happy to see each other."

Ranma turned scarlet and said,

"Well-we-ah-um-we"

"Have to go!"

Raven supplemented to have everyones face fault and stare at her. She said innocently,

"What?

They eyed her strangely and Cyborg said,

"Go where?"

Beast Boy added,

"Yeah, where?"

Ranma said,

"To get some ah...what's it called...pizza?"

Cyborg automatically threw down the money on the table and looked to the other Titans.

"Four plain, one veggie and one pepperoni. Ante up Robin, BB."

Robin had just come back with the water and was about to dump it on an unsuspecting Ranma when Cyborg mention the money. Robin grumbled, his fun being cut short and he and BB grudgingly emptied their pockets While Ranma silently cheered that his little act it out with Raven worked, even after all these years. Raven was also silently cheering but for reasons that I can't say for I would definitely have to change the rating of this fic. So, Ranma and Raven were about to leave the Island when Cyborg and Robin came to the front door. Robin said teasingly,

"Don't be out too late now."

Cyborg's head grew ten times it's regular size and he said,

"Don't let the pizza get cold, or your payin' up next time."

Ranma sweat dropped and mumbled so only Raven could hear,

"With what? I'm flat broke and have at least two yen to my name."

Raven giggled which caused the other two to stare, gaping for a second before running into the tower to go on Apocalypse watch. Ranma looked at the place they had occupied and said,

"Raven?"

Raven looked over to Ranma and said,

"Yeah?"

"Did I ever tell you your friends are weird?"

She laughed and looked up to the room where Robin and Cyborg had their faces plastered to the window looking at the sky.

"No, not yet. Let's go get that pizza already."

Raven put a black aura under his feet and floated him and herself over the bay and started to make their way over to the main land. Ranma whistled and said,

"Neat trick. Couldn't do this when we were at the temple."

Raven nodded and said,

"Yeah, I couldn't do a lot when we were at the temple. But now, I can do all sorts of stuff, like this."

She easily brought the aura around his feet and made him flip over and have everything in his pockets fall out and into a black aura that quickly went to her hand. Ranma grumbled and said,

"Yep, same old Raven, only this time she turns me upside down instead of ripping off my pants and holding them for Ransom."

Raven blushed and said,

"I bet you still wear those blue and gold boxers and sprawl all over the bed just like at the temple."

He tried to grumble out an answer but it was lost to deaf ears as Raven laughed. Ranma had a far away look in his eyes and Raven sensed the depression that had just grabbed her usually happy friend. Raven stopped and said,

"What's wrong Ranma?"

He sighed and said,

"Well, I didn't actually tell everyone the entire story."

Raven looked over at the upside down boy who crossed his arms over his chest. He looked back at her with his ocean blue eyes and said,

"Well, I didn't tell you about Herb, Saffron, the reason I left..."

He paused for a second and Raven had a spark of recognition at the name Saffron. She said,

"Hey Ranma, you wouldn't happen to know what happened to Saffron would you? No one has been able to find him or talk to him for a while now and they've all been trying to get me to look into it..."

Ranma kept his gaze on hers and said,

"Maybe that's because I killed him."

Raven did a double take and said,

"Ranma? Did you just say that you killed a Demi-God?"

Ranma looked sheepish and scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Well, he was reborn afterwards and he was tryin' ta kill me!"

Raven just stared at the boy who had just proclaimed he killed a Demi-God with a straight face and was now going out to get their pizza. She finally put him right side up and said,

"You know Ranma, your just full of surprises."

Ranma chuckled dryly and returned,

"Oh? Well, your full of...gimme a sec, I don't really know what your full of. Let's see, yourself? No. Dark energy? Oh I don't know, maybe. Surprises? Naw, your predictable."

Ranma was turned upside down again by a giggling Raven and who said,

"Cut it out, you know your worse than me."

He laughed and said,

"Only when your around."

They both laughed and arrived at the pizza parlor to pick up the pizza and get it back to the Tower as fast as possible. Ranma had a light bulb go off in his brain and he said,

"Hey Ray, I'll race you back."

Raven laughed and said,

"How? It's not like you can walk on water."

He smiled predatorily and said,

"Can and will."

Ranma took off at a dead run over the bay to Titans Tower, never once getting splashed or falling into the water. Raven stared in awe at the water running boy before copying his predatory smile and saying,

"Oh, your on Saotome, your on..."

As the race between Ranma and Raven was going on, back in Nerima, Saotome was trying to find out what had started to strangle him earlier. He shrugged and went back to playing the depressing game of Shogi he and Tendo were playing. The happy feelings that Ranma was enjoying at the moment were not shared around with the Nerima residents, as you might have thought. No, it was evident that the absence of Ranma had created quite a whole in everyones life as fiancées had nothing to chase and Rivals had nothing to try and beat. Even Ryoga, who swore eternal pain to Ranma Saotome didn't have the usual oomph he used to. Kasumi went around with a fake smile on her face and Nabiki did all of her business deals now with more a likeness to a robot than her usual fox like attitude. Akane was...happy? Yes, Akane was smiling and humming to herself as if these past few weeks without Ranma were the best they had been in a very long time. What no one saw though was the tears she cried at night for what their fathers did to her and Ranma and why he left. Yes, life was just so boring without Ranma Saotome, and no one could enjoy their lives without him. Kasumi was about doing her house work when she heard a loud whoop from her Father and Mr. Saoltome. She rushed in to see if anything was wrong and saw the old men dancing around happily and doing their normal ramblings of how the schools will be joined. Kasumi looked worriedly at both and she said,

"Father, Mr. Saoltome, why are you being so loud?"

Tendo looked excitedly at his daughter and said,

"Kasumi, we have found a way to get back Ranma!"

Kasumi smiled her first genuine smile in weeks and said,

"Really? How?"

Saoltome said,

"We are going to follow Ranma to wherever he went and try to change his mind about leaving and come back to us!"

Kasumi looked from one excited adult to the other and said innocently,

"How do you expect to find him father?"

Tendo faltered for a moment before grinning even wider and saying,

"Nabiki! Can you come down here please?"

Nabiki entered the room with her robotic attitude in place as she saw the look on her father's face and she said quite emotionlessly,

"Yes Daddy?"

"Can you find out where Ranma went off to?"

Nabiki snapped back to her old self and said,

"Sure. Why do you want to know Daddy?"

Now Nabiki being Nabiki already knew the answer, she just wanted to confirm it.

"We are going to find Ranma!"

Akane had stumbled down the stairs and she felt the first piece of actual hope come back to her. She put up her usual defense and said,

"Who would want to find that perverted idiot?"

Everyone smiled because now, things were going to be back to normal. As Nabiki went off to her task, she knew that the job wouldn't be complete without inviting a few friends along though. Say...the rest of the Nerima Wrecking Crew?

Ranma and Raven sat panting on the shore of Titans Tower and laughing at the fun time they had just had. Ranma dropped onto the ground and looked at the stars. He smiled and said,

"Look familiar Ray?"

Raven, still standing, looked up at the stars and replied,

"Yeah, it does."

Raven began to move closer to Ranma and she started closing the distance between the two. Ranma looked sad and said,

"It's too bad my idiot of a Pop's made me leave when he did."

Raven blushed and said,

"You know, we could, um... pick up where we left off."

Ranma quirked an eyebrow and finally noticed how close they were. He blushed was about to say something when they heard the familiar battle cry of,

"PIZZA!"

Both jumped as a the tower sized head of Cyborg pooped out of the front door and made a mad dash for the food. Ranma laughed and said,

"Looks like Nerima follows me wherever I go."

He didn't know how right he was.

A/N: Good? Bad? In between? Leave whatever you feel like leaving, just don't insult me too badly. If any of you have any ideas, give a shout out and I'll considerate it. Thanks for the Reviews.
