Hi there everyone! Okay, so I really am working on making the chapters longer, but sometimes I just can't do it. I JUST CAN'T DO IT! sob sob (takes calming breath) okay...I'm okay now.

Anyway, I would REALLY appreciate it if someone were to review my other story, because I personally think it's my best ever, and no one's reviewing tear tear (as in...you know, crying BooHoo, not tear like Rip or something. I never got how to tell those apart. Do you know how? I mean, my teacher's always like... "USE THE CONTEXT CLUES!" and I'm just like "WHATEVER!" yup. I have kinda odd classes.

Anyway, thanks to reviewers. I think that from now on I'll dedicate every chapter to a different reviewer, whoever reviews the most. So...THIS ONE'S FOR YOU AnimationWickedRaven! U ROCK GIRL! MWAZZZZZZZ!

Anyway, I was wondering the other day whether or not anyone reads this. Then I thought... WHO CARES? LoL.

Anyway, guess what those of you who happen to be reading this even though the only reason you even are on this page is because you want to read the story... anyway, guess what! I got into John Hopkins Summer Program, this thing where over the summer I go to a college for 3 weeks and sleep on campus and learn all of these really kewl things like Latin and Greek and Etymologies and Cognitive Psychology, and etc. etc... So you know, I guess you guys have a genius writing this story, so you should all feel very accomplished to find a genius like me. After all, it takes one to know one. Anyway, this rambling business is terribly fun, but probably very boring to you...the readers.

Anyway, if you would like to hear more of my ramblings, you can Instant Message me at Dannenburger, my screename on AOL. SO, over the rambles and through the Disclaimer to the story we go! Which reminds me... I do not own Teen Titans. If I did, I would not be rambling to you, I would be rambling to the newspaper and Tabloids.

(Hey, did you notice that every single paragraph I wrote started with 'anyway.' Jsut pointing out, because I noticed my extreme repetitive nature)

At precisely 12:00 A.M., Beastboy (a.k.a Shadow) was abruptly awoken by a faint knocking on the door. Raven immediately bolted up and pulled her long black silk robe over her black short shorts. (Tonight she was wearing a Phantom of the Opera T-shirt. It had been quite awkward for Beastboy while she was changing. Although, I can't really tell you he didn't keep his eyes completely shut) Warily, she crossed the room and cracked open the door. She sighed, and opened the door, letting Ransford in. Beastboy hissed and spitted at him like there was no tomorrow.

"What does that cat have against me?" asked Ransford, in a 'would-be-joking-if-this-whole-situation-weren't-so-serious voice.

"What do you want Ransford. Robin told you not to come." she spat, sitting on her bed and stroking Beastboy. Ransford sighed.

"Raven, I'm only afraid that you'll make the wrong choice. We were meant for each other, and I need for you tosee that." Raven frowned.

"Ransford, I need Beastboy's say in this too. Otherwise it just isn't fair." she replied. Ransford furrowed his brow, obviously angry.

"What does that little green freak have that I don't? I mean, you told me yourself he annoys you to death!" he yelled.

"Maybe he could become...less annoying." she said meakly. "Besides, he has his moments." Ransford walked up to her and took her hands in his.

"Raven, he can offer you his moments to let you be happy. I can give you a lifetime of joy. Raven, on Azarath, we're old enough to be married," he said, boring into her eyes. Raven was silent a moment.

"What are you saying?" she asked. BB gulped. He had a feeling that he knew exactly what Ransford was getting at, and he didn't like it one little bit!

"Raven," he said, kneeling down on one leg and taking out a small black box from out of nowhere. "Will you marry me? We can go to Azarath, marry, and come back. We don't even need to tell the others. WE can come back in awhile, a few months or years. They'll have forgiven you by then. Well, I doubt most of them will mind too much." he said. Raven gasped, and a lightbulb exploded next to Beastboy's head. With a trembling hand, she took the box and opened it slowly. She sucked in a breath. Inside was a diamond ring, the diamond the size of a golf ball (A/N: not really, just trying to use a metaphor or something like that. It's actually just a big diamond, you know?) Surrounded by amethysts.

"Ransford, it's...it's..." she struggled for words. "Beautiful." she finished. Ransford tilted her chin up, leaned down, and kissed her passionately. Before he knew what he was doing, Beastboy was morphing back and yelled,

"QUIT IT!" Raven looked at him with a puzzled, horrored look.

"Beastboy?" she asked, her voice trembling. "How long...but Shadow..." she began, her lip quivering. Then something hit home. "YOU SPIED ON ME!" she screamed. Beastboy winced. He had been hoping that in the heat of the situation she would overlook that. He supposed he wouldn't be so lucky.

"Raven, I can explain..." he began.

"OH MY AZAR! (A/N: I got that from another fanfic. Is that like God to her or something? Okay, well if not, just pretend it was GAWD or something. ) She yelled. "I LET YOU SLEEP IN MY BED!" she gasped as she realized the past night. "YOU SAW ME CHANGE! OH MY AZAR YOU LITTLE PERVERT I SWEAR I WILL KILL YOU!" now Ransford was getting mad.

"You saw my fiancé nude!" He yelled.

"Um... okay, so I guess I can't explain everything... wait a second, she isn't your fiancé yet! She didn't say! She said she needed to hear my side of the story too!" cried Beastboy.

"Oh, right! Like I'll really consider you now!" she screamed. And with that she phased out.

Meanwhile, in another room, (Robin's room to be exact) Robin (and Starfire) were both awoken to sobbing coming from Robin's bathroom.

"I'll be right back, Star." he said, kissing her forehead. Then he pulled a robe over his naked body, (A/N: in case you haven't guessed, Starfire was naked too, and they were both in his room...all signs pointing to... realization hits OMG NO! scrubs eyes trying to get rid of visual images.) and walked towards the bathroom.

"Raven?" he asked. (Starfire huffed. She still didn't like the attention Robin gave Raven. Especially not when it took away from her time when they were...together...at night...in Robin's room... (Oh no not again! scrubs out eyes ONCE AGAIN!)

"Robin?" asked Raven quietly.

"Yes. What's the matter?" he asked, seeing raven's face and closing the bathroom door, causing yet another huff from Starfire since it was taking away time to-(no! I will NOT go there again! NO SERIIE!)

"Robin, I don't think I can stay here." she whispered.

"Well, obviously. You can't very well stay here while star and I-" (not again!)

"No, not here like this room, here like in the Tower. On the team. I think I need to go back to Azarath." Robin gasped.

"Raven, what happened? What are you talking about, we need you on the team!" he said angrilly. She began tearing up again (A/N: as in the Boohoo version, NOT the rip version.)

"Robin, Beastboy's been spying on me and Ransford asked me to marry him and I just don't think I can stay with Beastboy, I mean he watched me while I was naked!" she yelled angrilly. Robin looked shocked.

"He couldn't have! Not Beastboy!" he said.

"OH YES HE DID!" she cried.

"Wow." said Robin, paling. Even he had never spied on Starfire, only seen her naked when she had...er...permitted it. (And we are back to THAT line of thought...that is just great, no REALLLLLLLLLLLLL great! argh) Then something else Raven said dawned on him.

"Wait, he asked you to marry him?" he yelled. Raven sobbed again.

"YESSSS! And then I would need to leave, and go to Azarath, and who knows when I'd get back? I mean, do I even want to get married? I mean, I grew up on Azarath thinking that it was normal to marry at sixteen, in fact anything over eighteen and men wouldn't want to marry you, but now on Earth some girls haven't even dated at that age! Robin, what should I DOOOOOOOOOOOOOO?" she wailed, angrily wiping away her tears and glaring at Robin as though wanting for the answers to come pouring out of him. Her face went from hopeful to angry. Robin, seeing this, quickly grew scared.

"Raven, you can't leave! We need you on the team! We need you here!" Raven sighed.

"Robin, would you mind if I took the night off? I kinda want to go to a coffee shop or something to cool down." Robin frowned.

"Raven, you know I don't like it when members go off by themselves. Can't you bring Star or something?"

"One," said Raven, smirking. "I think she's a little...er...preoccupied, at the moment." she said (yes, we are once again referring to that verb that is needed for reproducing...) "And two, you know what happened the last time Star went to a coffee shop. (Referring to a time where they went and Starfire 1) ruined a very large, angry gothic man's poem, causing him to stalk them later until Raven got Cyborg, Robin, and Beastboy to keep him away from herself and Star, and two, got high off of coffee (like the little chipmunk in the new movie "Hoodwinked" which I just saw today with my friend who makes me hyper so we were both laughing our asses off in the theater and everyone around us was yelling at us) but she got really hyper and ran around in circles screaming, "my gnorfka is missing!") Robin nodded.

"Okay, just be back soon, would you?" Ravne thought.

"I'll try I guess, but no promises." Robin sighed.

"Fine. Okay, see you Rae." Raven dematerialized.

"Robin, is she gone yet?" asked a seductive Starfire from the doorway. Robin sighed. Well, at least he had something to keep his mind off of Raven. (OMG WHY DO I KEEP THINKING THAT?)

Author's Note: hey, so I hope everyone liked it. I know it wasn't too long, but you know, sometimes people just can't make long chapters, just a bunch of short ones. I just always want to put in a new chapter, so I guess I'm a quantity over quality. And again, I must,must, MUST stress that I REALLY want people to review. I recently learned that not everyone who reads this reviews, and I got SERIOUSLY pissed off. I mean, if you spend the time to read the story, then you can spend less than a minute typing a sentence. I mean, it's really not that hard, and personally, I have made it a habit that EVERY SINGLE story I EVER read. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the story so far. Savor it, because it might be awhile before I put in another chapter. And I'll need at least 10 more reviews. Yes, 10! I mean it. 10, no less. You hear me? 10! okay? Alright. I love you all. (P.S., if you want me to dedicate my next chapter to you, put it in your review. I will listen.)
