Well, thank you to the one person who reviewed that last two chapters…you're my hero. Everyone else, please review, I'm desperate.

Chapter 3

Back at the Tower

"So, Aidan," Robin began, "What's your story?"

"Um,"

"I mean, where did you get your powers? And what's your background and stuff like that?" Robin said more clearly.

"Well, I'm not really sure where I got my powers…I just got really mad at this girl at recess in like third grade, and I just sort of, shot fire at her. I don't know. Then I learned how to control my powers more, and here I am," Aidan said. "Oh yeah, and obviously I got kicked out of elementary school."

"How did you end up here?" Speedy asked.

"I was bored, and I just wanted to go somewhere different, meet some cool people," she smiled, "so this place checked out pretty well."

"Well, we hope that you can stay a while. We could use someone like you on our team," Robin told her. Aidan beamed.

"Thanks. I plan on staying; you guys are good kids," Aidan said with a grin.

"Well, if you plan on staying the night, you can probably bunk with Starfire or Bumblebee," Robin began.

"She can stay in my room," Raven said.

"Or you can stay in Raven's room," Robin finished.

"Okay, thanks Raven," Aidan said to her new friend. The two girls smiled at each other.

Beast Boy and Aqualad sat by each other on the couch in deep conversation about Aqualad's new crush on Aidan.

"Seriously dude, if you like her, then just talk to her," Beast boy began.

"How about we make a deal," Aqualad began with a slightly maniacal grin. "I'll talk to Aidan if you talk to Raven."

Beast boy's green skin turned red with embarrassment.

"We all know that you like her," Aqualad said, "Don't deny it."

"Fine," Beast boy said, "I'll talk to Raven, but then you have to talk to Aidan."

"Fine," Aqualad said, also turning red.

"And no putting it off," Beast boy said.

"Sure," Aqualad agreed, "I'll talk to her sometime today. You have to do the same with Raven." Beast boy nodded.

"Friends, has anyone seen Bumblebee or Cyborg?" Starfire said as she walked into the living room. The rest of the team looked at each other. Beast boy and the Titans east all had slight grins on their faces.

"They went out," Speedy told her. Starfire giggled, and then joined the rest of the team.

"Robin, perhaps we could also do the hanging out after dinner," Starfire suggested.

"Sure, Star," Robin said to his girlfriend. Starfire smiled widely and then hugged him. Starfire left the living room to go back to her room.

Aidan and Raven were sitting on the couch, once again talking about their interests.

Beast Boy slowly approached Raven.

"Uh, hey Raven," he began, "whatcha doin'?"

Raven looked at him oddly; he was grinning like a maniac and his cheeks were still pink.

"Uh, sitting," Raven said to him, and then turned to Aidan to give her and odd look. Aidan shrugged.

"I was wondering," he began slowly, "would you like to do something after dinner?" he said the last part very quickly.

Raven blinked. "Sure," she said nonchalantly.

"Oh, really?" Beast boy said, now smiling even more widely. "Great! I'll see you after dinner."

"Uh huh," Raven said, and Beast boy walked back to sit with Aqualad.

Aidan grinned at her. "I told you he likes you."

Raven put her head down as she blushed, "I guess you did."

"You're blushing," Aidan said, pointing out the obvious.

"Thanks for telling me that," Raven said.

Aidan laughed and shook her head, her long shiny hair swishing from side to side. Of course, Aqualad noticed this and was even more attracted to her. He stared at her until Beast boy slapped him on the back of his head to bring him back into reality.

"Uh, was I staring at her again?" he asked quietly.

Beast Boy nodded. "Dude, talk to her. I asked Raven out, so you have to ask Aidan out."

"What? I never agreed to that," Aqualad said.

"What, so now you don't like her?" Beast Boy said too loudly. The rest of the room went quiet.

Aqualad punched him in the arm.

"Ow," Beast boy said.

While Beast Boy complained about his arm, Aidan came over to the two boys.

"Hey guys," she greeted them as she sat down across from them.

"Hi Aidan," Beast Boy said.

"H-hello," Aqualad stuttered.

"Hi," she said with a chuckle at Aqualad's awkwardness around her.

"So Beast Boy, you and Raven ready for your hot date tonight?" she teased. He once again turned red and smiled.

"That's what I thought," Aidan said. "So, Aqualad, how are you?"

Stunned that she was talking to him, Aqualad took a couple seconds to respond. "Uh, fine, how are you?" He said quickly.

"I'm doin' alright," she stated. Beast Boy glared at him. Aqualad shrugged and grinned.

"Hey, Aidan, are you doing anything tonight?" Aqualad finally said in a normal, non-stuttering voice.

Aidan laughed nervously, "No, are you?"

"No. But I was wondering if you would want to go somewhere with me," he said, staring into her midnight blue eyes.

Aidan smiled, "Sure. I'd love to. See you tonight." She walked back to the couch to sit with Raven.

"What was that all about?" Raven asked. Aidan laughed.

"You're really red," Raven told her.

"Oh, about that. Well, it looks like we both have a date for tonight," Aidan told her.

Raven gasped. "Aqualad?"

Aidan laughed and nodded.

Raven grinned. "Have fun."

"You too," Aidan said.

Robin and Speedy couldn't help but overhear their fellow teammates' conversations, and came over to tease them.

"So, Aqualad," Speedy began, "How's Aidan?"

Aqualad couldn't help but turn red and grin.

"I thought so," Speedy said evily.

"So girls," Robin said, sitting in between them on the couch. "You two ready for your dates tonight?"

"No, are you?" Aidan replied.

"Uh, not really," Robin said, not being able to think of anything better to say.

"I'm sorry to hear that," Raven said.

"Hmm, I'm not," Aidan said, "Poor Starfire, this is what she has to deal with."

Raven shook her head. The doors opened and Cyborg and Bumblebee walked in; Cyborg has his arm around her shoulders.

"Awww, that's cute," Raven said, grinning. Bumblebee laughed, and she and Cyborg separated. Bumblebee came over to sit with the other two girls on the couch, and Cyborg went to sit with the boys.

"So, girls, what's up?" Bee greeted them. Both Aidan and Raven blushed and grinned a little. "Ooo, this sounds juicy. Tell me what's goin' on."

"Tell us what you and Cyborg did that made you so happy," Aidan said with a slightly evil grin on her face.

Bumblebee turned slightly red. "I asked first."

"They both have dates tonight," Speedy said, butting into their conversation.

Bee gawked. "Omigod, who with?"

"Raven's going with Beast Boy and Aidan's going with Aqualad," Robin said this time, also butting into their conversation.

"OMIGOD!" Bumblebee shrieked.

"Yeah, you have to not do that," Raven said.

"I agree," Aidan said.

"Sorry," Bee said, "So, what are you guys going to wear?" she said more quietly.

Raven and Aidan glanced at each other, with clueless looks on their faces.

"Uh," they said in unison.

"Well, come on, we'll all go to the mall and find something," Bee told them. Starfire flew into the room.

"Oh, may I also come to the mall of shopping?" she asked.

"Sure, Star," Bumblebee said.

Starfire jumped for joy. "What is the occasion?"

"These two have dates tonight," Bee told her, grinning.

Starfire squealed possibly ten times louder than Bumblebee did and hugged both Raven and Aidan.

"Ow, my organs," Raven said.

"I don't have organs, I have pianos," Aidan stated. The other three girls looked at her cluelessly. "Never mind," she finished.

"Oh, I get it," Raven said nonchalantly.

"Come, friends. We have no time to spare. We must go to the mall of shopping," Starfire said, dragging Aidan and Raven by their wrists.

At the mall…

The four girls walked into several department stores, not being able to find anything that either of the two girls in need of clothes liked. Finally, they came across the section of the mall with a Hot Topic and Pac Sun.

"Here we go," Aidan said hopefully.

They all walked in. Starfire attracted some odd looks in Hot Topic, but she didn't notice. Her and Bumblebee began picking stuff off of shelves and throwing them at the two girls.

Eventually, Aidan and Raven both had something to wear. Raven had picked out a black and purple mini skirt and a purple t-shirt to go with it. Aidan had picked out a red plaid mini skirt and a black tank top to go with it. After getting jewelry and shoes to go with their new outfits, the girls went back to the tower just in time for dinner.

Back at the Tower…

"That took you long enough," Cyborg joked.

"Well, considering they were dragging us into Aeropostal (sry if I spelled that wrong)," Raven said. Aidan shuddered. Bumblebee laughed.

"What did you guys buy?" Beast boy said curiously, trying to look into Raven's bag.

"You'll see later," Raven said, snatching the bag away.
