(A/N) Elissar, the reason the other guys don't notice or don't care that she's being extra friendly is because she's only doing it when they're relatively alone. With Cy, they were in the garage. With Robin, they were in the training room. With Beast Boy, they were the only ones in the common room. I don't think Raven would be the type to do what she is doing with anyone else around, too timid about that sort of thing. Plus, there was a little over a month between her talk with Robin and her asking Cyborg out. And as for my disclaimers, it's a simple formula I use to make them. First, be raised in a family of very weird people and then be the weirdest one. Second, make sure you're the only child of your gender with a whole lot of the other gender. Third, watch way too many cartoons, even the stupid ones. Fourth, eat paint. That's all there is to it. Oh, and it helps if it's lead based paint. Faster results. Mr. Jin, I'm not sure what you meant about where'd the chapters go. I know that sometimes FFN will not have the buttons right at first in the chapters right when they're updated. Another story I was reading posted two chapters back to back and I had to get at the second one from the chapter before both of the new ones. Very strange.

The Annotated Raven – September 26th

--------------------------------------------------------

9:45 a.m.

I'm still annoyed that he couldn't tell it was a date. I would have asked him out again sooner than today, but Johnny Rancid escaped and he was doing his usual mayhem act. I kind of wish he wasn't a bad guy so I could talk to him about that time he made the city look cool.

Anyway, I was sipping my tea when I noticed that it was only Beast Boy and me there. I knew something was strange about it because of how early it was. When I asked him why he was up he mumbled something about Cyborg and I'm pretty sure I heard water balloon in there too. I'm glad that they're intimidated by me because of things like that, no pranks. I asked him if he wanted to do something later today and he smiled and said yes.

He wants to go go-cart racing, I'm not so sure. I guess that I could give it a shot. I really hope he gets a clue this time. It's kind of insulting that he can't tell that I'm trying to figure out how much I like him. Doesn't he wonder about things like that? Maybe his height isn't the only thing that's stunted.

2:30 p.m.

We just got back from the go-cart track and I hate to admit it, but it was actually exciting. Beast Boy's better at it than me, but he said I was doing a lot better than he had his first time. He also said that I was the only other Titan who was still happy after going with him there. Apparently Cy and Robin didn't like losing, and Beast Boy's small size makes him faster.

We were both a little wide eyed when I laughed at something funny he said. OK, so maybe it was more like a very brief chuckle, but that's still a big thing for me. He was poking fun at Cyborg because when they came here Beast Boy's time was under a minute and Cy's was around twenty. Cyborg isn't allowed to come back because of how long the other people had to wait for him to finish.

After that he kept showing me places that he thought were cool at the park. I never knew that he had that much knowledge about plants and animals. I always figured it was some picture book that he used to get all the creatures he changes into, but he actually studies the stuff in his room. He says that's why he always wakes up so late, he stays up reading about animals and their habitats. And he even used the word habitat.

What he was showing me was interesting, but what really got to me was that he was holding my hand almost the whole time. When we got to the park he just grabbed it and pulled me off to an oak tree that he said was older than all of the Titans put together. At first I thought he had just grabbed my hand to drag me to whatever he wanted me to see, but even when we got to where he wanted to go he held on. I wish he'd taken off his gloves.

I think I might see about going out to dinner with him tonight. I want to ask him why we never tried dating before.

Dang it, the alarm's going off.

10:00 p.m.

That's it, I give up. I'm not going to keep having one-sided dates with the clueless little green idiot anymore. After we got back from catching some moronic bank robbers, I asked him to dinner and he said he couldn't. Then he got really excited and said he had something cool to tell me. His 'cool' thing was a date with one of the tellers from the bank we were at. I could have killed him.

That's why I'm giving up. If he can't even tell when he's on a date or when some girl might actually like him, then I'm going to the coffee house…eventually. I'm just going to stew for a couple of days.

Affection says I'm not allowed to just sit around stewing. I sent her flying into Wisdom's realm. I'm going to bed. Stupid green midget.

(A/N) So, what do you think of the new paint job? Yeah, it was a little costly, but going from a stark white background to an anti-black background was worth it. It just makes the print that much livelier on the screen. Review if you have something to say.
