The Titans have been sitting around the tower bored, trying to think of something interesting to do. Beast Boy, sprawled out all over the couch, flipping channels trying to figure out something to watch. Nothing, he sighs, morphs into a sloth, and starts to pretend nap. Terra, sitting next to him starts to giggle. She has been living there full time now due to the recent full recovery of her powers a few weeks ago.
Raven was mediating in the corner, her usual routine, very focused, trying to tune out all that was going on in the Tower. Cyborg was downstairs in the garage working on the T car, however only so many modifications can be made on that vehicle, and he eventually makes his way back up stairs. He looks around and see the gang, very quiet, almost lifeless.
"What's going on y'all? Where's the party at?" No response. He groans, then begins to ask again much louder this time.
Robin, who was reading up on marital arts techniques puts down his magazine and looks at Cyborg.
"I don't know Cyborg, looks pretty peaceful in here, maybe we should do something fun as a group? What do you guys think?" Raven mutters "I'll pass" and goes back to her mediation.
"Come on Raven it'll be fun!" Beast Boy responds while looking up from the couch. Jinx and Vibe then walk inside from the top of the Tower, they have been spending all of time together and one of their favorite things to do together was look at the city in the different parts of the day, especially in the evening and at night.
"What's going on in here?" Vibe asks, as he and Jinx take a seat together on the other side of the large couch.
"Trying to find something fun to do as a group" Cyborg responds, "You two love birds got any good ideas?"
They both again blush at this thought, and start to giggle.
Terra, who usually doesn't say much around the Titans, gets up quickly as an idea pops into her head.
"I know! We could have like a girls night out! And ummm you boys could go do something fun too". And as soon as the words "girls night out" were said, Starfire, who was in the kitchen brewing a pot of jasmine tea, screamed with delight.
"Oh yes! Wonderful friends! We can commence in the Earth rituals of the painting of the toe nails, braiding of the hair, and the telling of the gossip! It shall be a most glorious evening, what do you think friend Raven and friend Jinx?"
Raven, once again stopped her mediation, sighed and said "Once again, I'll pass" and went back to mediation.
Jinx, on the other hand, looked up at Starfire, and smiled "Sounds awesome, it'd give us a chance to get closer together and the same with Terra and Raven... If she decides to participate"
Raven sighs "Fine, but my toe nails are to be left alone". She then stands up and walks towards the others. "So, what are you guys going to do?"
Beast Boy is the first to respond, "Play gamestation and eat junk food duh dude!" Terra again giggles at Beast Boy's comment.
"Sounds good to me". Cyborg responds "Maybe a game of hoops or football in the mix? This night is gonna be epic! Booyah!"
"Alright, but where are we going to do this? I guess the guys will have to be in the living room and the outside of tower?"
"We can go to my parents' house, they'd be glad to have me home for once. That way you guys can use the whole tower" Terra says, and the others nod and grin in agreement. The girls get their things, and then head on over to Terra's house.

"Well looks like we are here" Terra said, as the girls approach the street her house was on. As they walk up to the front porch, Terra's throat becomes very tense, very dry, and she gets very nervous. This is the first time in weeks she has tried to make any communication with her parents, she knew she should have told them ahead of time that she was coming, but she knew her parents liked surprises as well, so this might be a good thing too. Terra knocks three times on the door, her stomach sinks, like a rock falling into a pit, she just hopes for the best. A faint "I got it" is heard in the background, it is her father. Then they hear footsteps and the door starts to open, Terra's father opens the door, and as he looks down his face turns into surprise and then joy when he realizes who it is.
"Oh Terra, I didn't expect you to show up? Why didn't you say something?"
"Sorry dad, I had an idea about coming up with my friends because we needed a place away from the guys, I got caught up in the excitement, and it didn't dawn on me to call until we got to the doorsteps". She then reaches in for a hug from her dad, and her nerves start to calm.
"Hunny looks whose here!" Terra's father exclaims as they all head inside the house.
"Oh goodness, Terra sweetie you're home!" Terra's mother then stops what she is doing and walks over to her daughter in joy. She hugs Terra than holds her for a minute.
"Hi mom," Terra says while her mother squeezes her a little too tight.
"I'm so glad you're here Terra, but why haven't you called lately, we miss you dear. We are always worried". Terra's mother states, after finally letting go of her daughter.
"Sorry mom, I… we've been really busy. We finally got a break for a short while, so I decided to visit. I was going to call you guys, but like I told dad, the idea to come home was spontaneous, so I didn't think to call you guys. I'm really sorry though, but it's nice to be home".
"Oh Terra hunny, it's okay we are just glad you are here and safe, oh and who are your friends. They look lovely". Terra's mother responds with as they all sit down in the living room.
"Oh well, this is Starfire" she points to Starfire, who in turn smiles and stands up.
"It is quite an honor to meet you parents of Terra". Starfire then sits back down and Terra continues.
"This is Raven" Raven just looks at them and mutters a single "Hi". "Finally we have Jinx". Jinx smiles and nods.
"Well now that you met everyone, were gonna go up to my room and talk about stuff, okay?"
Her parents nod and the girls head upstairs to Terra's room. When they get into her room Terra says "Well this is it". They all look around, it's a very simple room, a few of Terra's personal belongings she left behind, like a few books, purses, jewelry, notes from her friends posted up everywhere, pictures of people who inspired her, and a poster of the five original Titans. Her bed was the same as it was left, purple comforter with purple sheets made like no one had been in the room for a long time, the room was very clear, and not much was on the hard wood floor. Terra takes a seat on the end of her bed, "You guys can sit down" she tells them, and the other girls do as such finding a place to sit on the floor.
"Well, now what?" Terra asks as they sit around each other in a circle.
"Might I suggest we start to commence in the Earth rituals of the painting of the toe nails, braiding of the hair, and the telling of the gossip!" Starfire replies as the other girls look clueless, minus Raven who really did not want to be there at all.
So as the time passes, the girls do actually participate in these activities.
"So how are you and friend Beast Boy, Terra?" Jinx asks while she braids Terra's hair. Terra starts to blush.
"We're doing great, sometimes he can be a little weird, but that's what makes Beast Boy, Beast Boy. I mean you guys know what I'm talking about?"
"Totally" Raven says, while sitting trying to mediate in the circle with the other girls.
"I mean don't get me wrong, he's a sweetheart, he's funny, but sometimes he's a little overbearing, and tries to get in the way of my personal space, it can be annoying sometimes. But it's the things like that you have to put up with to make it work. Anyway, umm what about you Jinx? You have been getting really close to Vibe lately."
Jinx's throat gets really dry, every time one of the Titans brings up the two of them as a "couple" it makes her uneasy, because in all honestly she didn't know how she felt about him. At times she really connected with him, but other times she felt really distant from him. She knew she still had some feelings for Wally, but those have gone really dim, because he hasn't tried to make any contact with her since he left, and that really bothered her.
"Well umm" she clears her throat as she begins to speak, "It's pretty complicated, I don't like to talk about it" Jinx says, seeming very cold and distant from the other girls.
"Oh please tell us friend! We promise not to seem rude or judge you". Jinx smiles at Starfire's comment, she always know how to cheer her up, and make her feel more comfortable.
"Okay well, it's hard when you still have feelings for someone, and then someone else comes along and complicates everything. Wally means a lot to me, and the fact that he just left really hurts me. Vibe's kind of just been there to comfort me along the way, he knows about my feelings it's just very difficult right now adjusting to these weird feelings, I've never really liked anyone or anything like that before". She sighs then puts her head into her hand. It's difficult for her to confess stuff like this to just anyone.
Starfire comes over to pat her on the back, "There there, friend, all will be fine".
"Thanks, Starfire I appreciate it" She says as she lifts her head from out of her hands.
"So how are you and umm Robin?" Starfire just stares blankly at Jinx and Terra, then turns to Raven, who still hasn't really moved from her mediation stance, then she looks back at Jinx and Terra.
"What do you mean when you say how am I and friend Robin?" Starfire asks very demandingly, she would very much like to know what they were talking about.
"Well I think what Jinx is trying to say, is that you two seem umm really close, like maybe there is a thing between the two of you?" Terra responds to Starfire's question, than proceeds to ask another one of her own.
"I do not really know the answer to the question, Robin and I are good friends but I do not think he sees it in what you on earth call the act of going out. I would very much like to have the opportunity to partake in this, but I doubt that it will go well". Starfire's face turn to into a sad expression, and the other girls try to get her back to her normal bubbly way.
"Come on Starfire cheer up, we're here to have fun, you just have to let him know you're interested, and I'm sure he'll start to respond".
The girls then all turn to Raven with the same questions that they have been asking each other. "What?" She looks up from her mediation.
"Well Raven, we were just wondering if there is or was anyone you have or had feelings for? I mean you don't really talk much about those sorts of things." Terra asks, as Raven looks at the others and thinks.
"Well I think Starfire is the only who really knows this, but before my father's powers were released from me, I could not covey any sort of emotion, so I had to hide or force back any ties to any feelings I would have of that sort. It's kind of tragic, but now since, I don't really have to worry about those things, I don't really know, it's hard to feel emotion, when you haven't for so long". Raven then gets a really cold feeling about her, and she starts to look sad.
"Maybe I do want to find someone… I just don't know what to do about it or where to look".
"Oh Raven! I am very much sure we will help you find someone of interest to perform in the act of going out with".
"Thanks Starfire". Raven smirks, a very unusual sign for her, but it comforts the others.
Jinx turns her head and looks out the window, a very beautiful sight to see, the moon, bright and full, making Jinx feel very special inside.
"We should go take a walk to that park we passed on the way over here, I feel like it would be a fun thing to do".
The other girls nod in agreement and make their way outside. As they walk, they notice how pretty the stars are on that particular evening, most nights in Jump City, the clouds cover the sky, and over by the Tower, the smog from the factories in the north make it hard to see the sky sometimes. So since they were on the south side of town, it was distant away from the smog, that the night sky lit up all they could see. So it was very easy for the girls to see their way to the park. However, they notice something odd as soon as they get to the park.
"Do you guys feel like something weird is about to happen?" Raven finally adds to break the silence.
"Well well, look what we have here, I didn't expect you girls to show up to my little playground". A cloud of smoke appears, and Ravager appears from within.
"What are you up?" Terra asks as the girls get ready for some combat.
"Just a little business deal, then I decided I would check on you 4, after all it isn't hard to notice that you all are gone, when the boys are busy making a mess in your tower". She laughs then launches towards Jinx, knocking her on her back.
"However I'm not here to fight you just yet. But be warned, soon you will be in for a very rude awakening. Farewell for now". Ravager than once again vanishes into smoke like always.
"Well that was… unexpected". Raven adds once the smoke that Ravager left clears from the area.
"Very much so, friend Jinx are you alright?" Starfire says, while watching Jinx pick herself up from the ground.
"Yeah I'm good, a little dirty, but not hurt or anything." Jinx responds, fully recovering from the incident.
"Well, let's head back to my house, it's getting late, and I'm getting tired. I wonder what the boys are up to?"
A/N Alright end of episode 6. Next time we'll find out what the guys did on their "night out". Should be a quick update. As always, comments, suggestions, and reviews are wonderful!
