Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans, but I do own the idea of this story, unless there is some other story out there with the same idea that I didn't read yet...

Special thanx to Zarola, who reminded me that there ARE some, erm, donkeys out there who want to get people in trouble because I don't write disclaimers...:D

The next early morning, while the sun was still down, Raven opened her amethyst eyes and looked around, confused. 'Why am I in a tree and why is a sleeping baby falcon next to me?' she asked herself with a start. Then she remembered and calmed down. 'Oh yea...about yesterday...' she gently moved Storm into a more comfortable sleeping position and sat there, meditating.

She couldn't concentrate.

Raven opened her eyes and sat in another position, giving up. "Why can't I concentrate?" she asked herself, waking Storm up by accident. The tiny falcon opened its crimson eyes and gave a small yawn of exasperation. Raven smiled and attached her amazingly-still-on-the-tree belt and sword around her thin waist and slung the bag with the still-sleepy falcon over her shoulder. She climbed down.

She decided it was time to get to know the forest.

MEANWHILE:

Prince Robin woke up early and rubbed his blue eyes. Then he remembered the little ride he wanted to take today. 'Crap' he thought and jumped out of bed and into a blue and black riding suit. He decided to leave the riding cap off.

He went downstairs. Deciding to skip breakfast now, since the ride would be short, he wrote a quick note on the table and went to the stables.

Breathing in the earthly smell of an early morning, he picked out his favorite horse, Lightning, and led the horse outside. Then he remembered that he needed a saddle and bridle, but he pushed that thought out and slipped onto the tall horse's back easily. Storm was named for his sleek black body and white fetlocks and nuzzle. He also had white slashes in his tail and mane. Robin let the horse graze for a moment, then gave the signal to start walking.

Storm obeyed meekly.

Robin road on, deciding that he would return when the sun was right between the horizon line and directly overhead. He did not know how long this ride actually was going to be...

REGULAR POV WITH RAVEN:

Raven with a now-fully-awake Storm riding happily on her back and pecking at her hair gently was walking along. She sat down and took the tiny bird out of her bag. The tiny hunter nudged its master gratefully.

Raven pet the tiny bird on its head and stroked its wings gently. She aimlessly began to sing.

WITH ROBIN:

Robin was riding peacefully, guiding Storm around the trees in a swift, smooth trot.

Suddenly, he heard something.

Robin stopped Storm almost immediately.

"D'you hear that, boy?" he asked the horse eagerly. The horse pricked its ears up and neighed softly.

Robin got off the horse and slowly led the horse to the sound.

As he got closer, he heard that it was someone-definitely a girl-singing.

"Could it be...something like an angel? A wood fairy?" Robin asked the horse behind him.

Storm snorted.

Robin rolled his eyes in indignity and padded on.

As he neared the voice, he became more and more tense. 'Who is it? Where is it coming from?' his mind was a colorful swirl of questions that sprouted out of his wild imagination.

WITH RAVEN:

Raven felt someone's presence behind her. She stopped singing abruptly and listened.

Nothing.

Cautiously, still singing to the falcon in her lap, she stood up and ran away from the mysterious presence as fast as her long slender legs could carry her.

ROBIN:

Robin heard the voice suddenly begin to disappear. "Quick!" he said to his horse and jumped on, giving the horse a signal to run at its highest speed.

Storm obeyed once again.

Robin rode to the scene where he heard the beautiful singing and looked around wildly, only to see a flash of black and green at the edge of the tiny clearing. He commanded the horse to speed after the flash of green and black.

Raven heard four heavy hoofs of a horse galloping at full speed behind her. She grimaced. 'So there was something after me,' she thought. Running faster still, she looked around wildly for a hiding place.

'I can't possibly outrun a horse galloping at full speed...'

Raven finally saw it. A very high but easy to climb tree.

She turned and ran to it. Pulling the strap of the leather bag over her shoulder, she shinnied up the tree with ease and, completely hidden by an array of branches, braced her light weight against the branches and waited for the arrival of her pursuer.

When she finally saw him, she gasped quietly.

It was a ebony-haired, blue-eyed boy riding on a black and white horse.

This boy could only be the prince of Aphobia, Prince Robin on his favorite horse Lightning.

Which could only mean that she was in Aphobia.

In her surprise, Raven shifted her weight abruptly. It was when she heard the crack of the branches when she realized what she had done, but it was too late.

The fall down to the base of the tree took forever. She closed her eyes and waited for the hard impact that would come. When it did some, she opened her eyes and felt no pain whatsoever much to her surprise. Her hand flew to her pack and felt Storm, still there and ok. Feeling her conciousness slipping away, she looked up only to see a mixture of black hair, blue eyes and tanned skin before she slipped into unconciousness.

A/N: was it good? I know, it sucked...The next chapter will copme when I feel like launching it...
