Hey y'all! I'm back! And with a new chapter up! So… I've just noticed after reading other ppl's fics that I've forgotten to put a disclaimer (Silly me!), so after this, I'll put one in… For now, enjoy the story, and please don't forget to Read and Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own them… if I did, then Raven and Robin would've been together a LONG TIME AGO! And the series would have more seasons and all that… I wish I owned then!
Chapter Four: Lost & Found
Starfire looked up at Speedy's face. He was concerned. She went to wipe her tears, but Speedy took the opportunity to wipe them for her. He looked deep into her eyes and smiled.
"What's wrong Starfire? You went to your room as soon as Robin announced that he loves Raven and you're crying. Obviously there's something wrong, so don't say there isn't."
Starfire looked into his masked eyes. Then, she smiled. He was trying to comfort her. He is such a nice boy… she thought. Maybe he will comfort me now that Robin is taken. Then, at the thought of Robin being taken away from her, Starfire started crying again. Speedy grew concerned, and pulled her into a hug. He started stroking her hair, making her stop crying. In truth, Speedy really liked Starfire. He had gained a crush for her since first meeting her, which was when the Titans came to see the Titans East. He had admired the way how she was so graceful and beautiful. I'm surprised Robin doesn't like her, he thought. Rob and Star totally dig each other, and yet he goes for Raven? But Raven's still a nice catch… Speedy led them to Star's bed, still continuing to stroke her hair. Starfire then wiped her tear-streaked face, and got up and walked to her stereo. She turned it on, inserted a CD, and played it. A song came up.
The Trouble With Love Is by Kelly Clarkson
Ohh… x3
Yea…
Mmm…
Love can be a many splendored thing
Can't deny the joy it brings
A dozen roses, diamond rings
Dreams for sale and fairytales
It'll make you hear a symphony
And you just want the world to see
But like a drug that makes you blind
It'll fool you every time
(Chorus)
The trouble with love is
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie
It's stronger than your pride
The trouble with love is
It doesn't care how fast you fall
And you can't refuse the call
See you got no say at all
Now I was once a fool, it's true
I played the game by all the rules
But now my world's a deeper blue
I'm sadder but I'm wiser too
I swore I'd never love again
I swore my heart would never mend
Said love wasn't worth the pain
But then I hear it call my name
Chorus
Everytime I turn around
I think I've got it all figured out
My heart keeps on calling and I keep on falling
Over and over again
This sad story always ends the same
Me standing in the pouring rain
It seems no matter what I do
It tears my heart in two
Chorus
The trouble with love is (Oh yea…)
It can tear you up inside
Make your heart believe a lie…
Starfire once again burst into tears. She covered her face, crying into her hands. Speedy felt so much pity for her. Finally, she lifted her face up.
"Friend Speedy, have you not loved someone and lost them?"
"I have loved someone, and I still do, but I thought I lost them, but I don't think I have."
Starfire gazed into his mask. Speedy gazed back into her emerald eyes.
"Friend Speedy, why is it that friend Robin does not like me? I thought that he was always the one who did… I didn't know he like friend Raven instead! But I cannot interfere with their bond, they have united, and fate has done a good thing for them. But I just don't get it… what about me? Why does love contain so much trouble?" Starfire asked Speedy.
Speedy looked back at her. Poor girl… he thought. She must've been really cut when Robin said he didn't love her… Speedy took Star's hand, and held it against his chest.
"Star? Do you feel that? That is the beating of my heart, moving faster and slower at the same time. Do you know why it does that?"
"No. Why friend Speedy? Are you hurt in any way?" Starfire asked, confused. Speedy began to smile. Then, he tilted Starfire's head to the side and kissed her. His hands went through Star's hair, interlocking his fingers with her soft, urban red hair. Star was shocked at first, then she began to like it. A lot. Just when Speedy was about to release the kiss, Star pulled him closer into an even stronger, passionate kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck, while Speedy stroked the sides of her body. His tongue slid into her mouth, and then collided with hers, exploring. They furiously kissed, pushing each other to the position of lying down on Star's bed. They then released, for lack of air. Speedy grinned at Star, who looked happy all this time.
"The trouble with love is Star, is that you can't get enough of it… especially when it's with a hot little girl like you."
They then continued with their furious making out on Star's bed. A new and happy couple were united.
While this was happening, Beast Boy was in his room, trashing it to its usual messy look. His stereo was on full blast, with the song that he dedicated to Terra's outcome, and now to his loss of Raven.
Behind These Hazel Eyes by Kelly Clarkson
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothing could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
Now I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on…
(Chorus)
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
Cause I can't breathe
No I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on…
Chorus
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Just seeing you it kills me now
No I don't cry on the outside anymore…
Anymore…
Chorus x2
Beast Boy was lying down on his bed, crying. He then got up and turned off his stereo, returning to his bed afterwards. He was thumping his bed, growling into his pillow. Why, why, why? Why did all of this have to happen to me? He thought. First Terra, now Raven! Why me? KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
"Who is it?" Beast Boy demanded. He didn't care how rude he was.
"It's me Beast Boy. Let me in." It was Raven. Raven? Beast Boy thought. What is Raven doing here?
"What do you want Raven?" BB asked.
There was silence, then suddenly, the door was surrounded in black, and lowered to the ground softly. In walked Raven, Robin and…
"Terra?"
Terra looked up into Beast Boy's eyes. She was dressed not in the apprentice suit that Slade told her to wear, but just her normal Titans clothes: brown shorts, boots, gloves and a black shirt. Beast Boy couldn't believe his eyes. His mouth gaped open. His eyes nearly popped out of his head if it weren't for the sockets.
"Terra," he repeated. "Is that really you?"
Terra smiled.
"Yes Beast Boy, it is me. Truly. Thanks to Raven and Robin here, I wouldn't be here right now. I'd still be stuck in stone."
Beast Boy turned to face Raven and Robin. He was awestruck. He couldn't believe it. His Terra was back for him!
"I don't know how to thank you two both enough, really!" BB began.
Raven and Robin both smiled.
"Don't mention it Beast Boy." Raven said.
"Yea, it was nothing, really." Robin said.
"Really, I can't thank you enough. And I'm sorry for not congratulating you earlier on your happiness. So, congratulations. And sorry for ruining it about me, really, you didn't have to." BB apologized.
"Enough Grass Stain, you need some catching up to do." Raven said. With that said, everyone smiled at each other.
"Thanks guys. Really, I couldn't thank you enough times." Terra thanked them.
Robin and Raven nodded, showing that they understood. Then, they left the room, leaving BB and Terra together in BB's room, closing the door behind them. As soon as the love birds left, the new pair of lovers turned to face each other and then they collided, like the pieces of a puzzle put together, their lips meeting in a furious flurry. There was a lot to be asked and answered, but right now, the two lovers could only care about their love. Another couple was united.
Meanwhile, Raven and Robin walked back together, holding hands.
"Isn't it so joyful to see BB and Terra together again?" Raven asked Robin. Robin smiled back at her.
"Of course it is. They were so happy before, and now they will be once again. Fate brings many surprises, doesn't it?" he grinned.
Raven grinned back, kissing Robin's hand.
"Of course it does. Look where it landed us."
Raven led Robin to the main room, where they saw Cyborg and Bumblebee furiously making out.
"Get a room you two!" Robin said, while Raven playfully smacked their bums with her cloak. Cyborg and Bumblebee stopped, taking in deep breaths of air.
"Thanks for reminding us. We never would've stopped." Cyborg said.
"Yea. Thanks." Bee repeated.
They both walked off holding hands to Cyborg's room. Raven and Robin smiled at the happy couple. Then they turned to face each other. THUMP.
"What was that?" Raven asked.
"I have no idea," Robin replied. "Let's see what it is."
They both held their hands together and walked towards the noise, which seemed to be coming from their right. When they reached their destination, they saw something that was much unexpected… Aqualad kissing a girl!
"Umm… Aqualad?" Robin said.
Aqualad stopped. Then when he saw who it was, he smiled nervously.
"Hi guys," he said, rubbing the back of his head. "I was gonna wait till tomorrow, but I guess that now I'm caught, I'll do it now then…"
"Yes Aqualad, please continue, we're really interested." Raven said, smiling.
"Well," Aqualad nervously began. "This is Rachel. I met her in Atlantis a couple of months ago when I went to visit my family, and I guess that well, now we're pretty much a couple!" He finished it all in one breath.
"Whoa, take it easy man, there's no need to be nervous about girls, we all have our own." Robin calmed him down.
"Nice to meet you Rachel." Raven said, shaking hands with Rachel, who was standing in shadow.
"It's nice to finally meet Aqualad's Earth friends." Rachel replied, stepping out of the shadow. Raven gasped. Rachel was so… beautiful, she thought. Just so… pretty and elegant! She looks like a princess! Rachel was wearing a white suit that looked at bit like Aqualad's material, but she had diamantes and diamonds studded all over in various designs all over hers. Her suit, however, was more like a skirt type of uniform (You know Xena: Warrior Princess? Yea, like her kinda thing… but as a wetsuit kinda thing at the same time… does that make sense?) She also had a sword across her shoulders, with the Atlantic emblem engraved onto the handle. She also wore a small crown, encrusted with pearls, gold, diamonds and other precious jewels, such as topaz, ruby, emerald, Aphrodite, and many more. It would make Starfire drop to her knees and beg to wear it.
"Rachel is the princess of Atlantis, but she likes to fight, so she is crowned as the Warrior Princess of Atlantis (Got my idea from Xena!)." Aqualad finished off. Raven and Robin just stared in beyond wonder.
"Wow." Raven managed to say.
"Yea, wow. I mean, I'm actually honoured to meet someone of royalty from Atlantis!" Robin exclaimed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Rachel said, shaking hands with him as well. She turned to face Aqualad. "Aqualad darling, I'm really bored, can we go? To your room perhaps?"
"Of course dear, of course. Let's go now."
Aqualad took hold of Rachel's hand, and led her to his room.
"Aqualad, wait!" Raven stated.
Aqualad and Rachel stopped and turned around to face Raven and Robin.
"Have you seen Starfire and Speedy?"
Aqualad looked surprised.
"Oh, I think Speedy said something about checking up on Star or something like that in her room. Haven't been out since."
"Oh, thanks. Enjoy your night you two." Robin replied, waving his hand goodbye.
"Yea, you too."
They walked off, leaving the two birds together alone. Robin then turned around and faced Raven.
"So…" he grinned. "What do you think we should get up to?"
Phew! My mind and fingers are sore so much! I hope you enjoyed the story! Please don't forget to Read and Review!
