(A/N) I want to state how funny it would be if in the TV show they had Robin and Star finally get together and when they say so, Raven says something along the lines of "What took you so long? Beast Boy and I have been dating for half a year already." It would be funny…because I say so. Phbbt! Secondly, allow me to dispel the misunderstanding from an earlier chapter. I don't hate or even slightly dislike the BB/Rae pairing. I was being sarcastic. Sorry that some of you missed it, but that looks worse on your part than mine. ;-) Anyway, I would really like it if they got together; I just stated how unlikely it is for the TV show guys to put them together. When you have to figure in things like ratings for future seasons, then it pushes couples aside. Romantic tension gets more people to watch than happy pairings do, just a fact that the great overlord Nielsen has handed down to us. I'll answer the questions you guys had in my next post so that I have something to write in the author's note that isn't completely random.
Disclaimer – If at the end of the world, you are brought before the creator of everything, he's not going to ask if you owned the Teen Titans. So you see, there's no shame in not owning the Teen Titans. Most of us will never own them. Let the man upstairs work it all out. (The man upstairs is that guy who stomps on his floor when you play your stereo too loud.)
The Annotated Raven – November 24th
--------------------------------------------------------
9:00 p.m.
We had Thanksgiving dinner here at the tower with the Titans East today. I've only met them a few times. It was a nice meal, except for Beast Boy arguing with Cyborg about whether the turkey or the tofurkey (yuck) should be carved first. The only people who ate the tofurkey were Beast Boy and Aqualad.
After dinner, which was around three, Cyborg got everybody into a game of football. Well, almost everybody. I just didn't feel like being the ref this time and Aqualad doesn't really understand dry land sports. We talked on the sidelines while they played, I told him why they did certain things when he asked, but mostly we just shared villain fights.
The first time I met him was the only time I completely saw something the way Starfire does. He's just gorgeous. He's taller than I normally like, but he's got to be the best looking guy I've ever met. And he's actually got more than just his looks, a lot of pretty boys don't.
After we talked so much, he opened up a little more and he talked about how hard it is to date as a superhero. I told him about some of my mishaps, I left out the stuff about Beast Boy, and he understood fully why Garrett and I broke up so quickly. He said that he thinks that only another superhero could handle the constantly adjusting schedule and not be so bogged down by their own petty problems. A true hero has to be somewhat selfless by definition.
Since we were talking about dating he asked if I was dating anybody lately, and I didn't really think about what he might be doing, so I just casually said no and got smacked twice because of it. Once by the shock of him asking me out, and then again by the football because I was too shocked to notice it coming straight at me.
Cyborg apologized, and as soon as he was gone, I told Aqualad that a date would be fun. He laughed a little at that because I don't normally talk about things as being fun. He said he likes my smile. We're going to set something up over the next couple of days.
Affection says I should just do the pros and cons now.
Pros: Understands The Difficulties Of Being A Superhero, Very Good Looking, Smart, Very Calm
Cons: Lives Kind Of Far, Superhero, A Little Too Tall, Seemed Aloof
Yeah, there's not much to go off of yet. I'll be able to learn more about him when we got out. That'll be kind of nice. Finding out the details as I go to fill in the rough outline I already have. I wonder what we'll do.

(A/N) I had a good weekend. I might be moving soon. I'll be going to the place where Bugs Bunny always misses the turn he was supposed to take. At least one person should figure that out. If not, I'm not going to tell where it is because of the sheer number of people who actively search fan fiction entries so they can hunt down the authors and insult them face to face rather than simply flame.
