Disclaimer: Oh my, I wish I do own the Teen Titans, unfortunately fate is cruel...
No One's POV
Raven sighed in annoyance. Why does this keep happening to me?
She needs to take that thing off...Passion said with slight disgust.
Terra growled at Raven. "YOU COPIER!"
"Copy? Excuse me? I was in the shop first, I saw the outfit first, and I went into dressing room with it first." Raven reasoned.
"Oh yeah?! Then how come we came out at the same time?!" Terra yelled.
"Because I care enough to do my hair and check if the chain is hanging on correctly." Raven looked down at where her chain is.
Terra looked at her chain, dangling at the side of her pants like a stuck toilet paper. She growled in embarrassment. "So what?! You look like a whore with that outfit."
"How about you looking like you're just trying to hang the outfit on your body?" Raven crossed her arms.
Starfire and Beast Boy turned to look at Terra. The outfit does actually look like it's hanging on her body like she's a hanger. Terra immediately turned to Beast Boy and Starfire. "Who looks better?!"
The two huddled together and started comparing the two titans. Raven leaned back on the wall with her arms crossed, calm and collected. While Terra is giving Beast Boy the tell-me-I'm-pretty-or-else look while clenching her teeth and glaring hard.
"I believe Raven is the better looking, friend Beast Boy." Starfire said, direct to the point.
"Yeah but it's not like Terra looks awful." Beast Boy said, hoping to come up with a non-biased result.
"I am sorry to say but Terra does look extremely awful." Starfire said with a troubled expression and the two turned to look at Terra and Raven.
Terra looks like a stick hanging clothes. She made the skinny jeans and the tank top look a little baggy, the chain dangling awkwardly, and her heels certainly did not her fit the rest of the outfit. The fact that the tank top has quite a low neckline, it made her look even more awkward.
Raven looks perfect in the outfit where her curves are shown in the right places. The tank top was tight around her waist, but not suffocating her and slightly lifted to show a bit of her lady abs. Her skinny jeans enveloped her tight enough to show her beautifully shaped legs with the chain hanging on. The buckled converse boots fits perfectly with the outfit and the pair of black, elbow-lengthed, fingerless gloves she just found and tried on just helped with the combination.
"WELL?!" Terra yelled impatiently, causing a few more heads to turn.
Beast Boy and Starfire bowed their heads in embarrassment, but Terra immediately jumped to conclusions...again. "So, you guys think she's prettier than I am, huh?!" Terra growled.
"We never said that, friend Terra." Starfire said quietly.
"Terra, why have been so jumpy the past few hours?" Beast Boy asked.
"That's because this witch," Terra yelled pointing at Raven. "Is trying to steal you away from me! She's jealous of me and my life and all the attention I have while NOBODY loves her!"
She's asking for it! Rage yelled.
Must keep in control...Raven saw the lights starting to flicker and shut her eyes, mentally chanting her mantra. Azarath Metrion Zinthos...
RAVEN! LET US OUT! Brave and Rage yelled in unison.
No! Raven yelled in her mind, furrowing her eyebrows, her other pair of eyes threatening to open.
We're gonna be hated by the public...Timid said, shivering in fear, hiding behind Brave.
Come on! That bitch is embarrassing us in front of the ENTIRE public! Rude growled, crushing the soda can she's holding.
Guys. Not now. Raven thought and breathed calmly. She open her eyes and glared slightly at Terra. "And what's got your panties in a bunch?" Raven said, arms still crossed, leaning on the wall.
"You will NOT get away with this!" Terra said in a low threatening tone.
"Not get away with what?" Raven uncrossed her arms. "Get this through your thick skull Terra. I'm NOT trying to steal Beast Boy away from you. I'm not trying to steal anything from you. The only reason you're paranoid and randomly jumping to conclusions is because you don't think. And when you don't think, you get yourself in unnecessary trouble." Raven said calmly.
"Oh FUCK YOU!" Terra screamed at Raven's face, giving her the middle finger. "And what's got your bat wings in a bundle? I don't need you to give me a fucking lecture! Who the hell do you even think you are?!"
"Your teammate. You predecessor." Raven stated.
"HA! What makes you my predecessor?!" Terra mocked.
"The fact that I joined the Teen Titans before you already proves it." Raven narrowed her eyes. She waved her arm and she was engulfed by a ball of black energy. As it faded, she's back in her previous attire with the outfit hanging on her other arm. "I would like to purchase this please." Raven said as she walked to the cashier.
"Oh no! You're not buying it until we get a result of who looks best in it!" Terra yelled at the empath.
Raven turned her head slightly to the blonde. "I think the result was pretty much self explanatory." Raven paid and walked out of the store. Starfire looked at Beast Boy and Terra, then followed Raven out.
Terra kept growling and suddenly screamed. Beast Boy covered his sensitive ears. "Terra! Stop it! What's gotten into you?!" Terra turned to her boyfriend and saw betrayal and disappointment flashed in his eyes. She began to get scared, but she doesn't know how to fix the problem.
"Why did you do that?!" Beast Boy glared at her.
"I...I-don't...I.." Terra doesn't know how to answer.
"You've been acting strange this entire day! This is supposed to be our date not a ring for cat fighting! It's even more embarrassing when the person yo're trying to provoke isn't even reacting!" Beast Boy threw his arms in annoyance.
"I'm insecure! Ok?" Terra sighed.
"Why should you be insecure? I'm your boyfriend! If you don't even trust me, how are we supposed to maintain this?" Beast Boy whined.
Whatever this is. The beast said, suddenly appearing.
Shut up! Why didn't you stay hibernated? Beast Boy shouted in his mind.
Because it's not winter, and the blonde is getting on my nerves. The beast answered.
We'll talk later. Beast Boy thought, the beast rolled his eyes and disappeared.
"It's not that! I just...I don't trust Raven!" Terra flailed his arms, trying to explain.
"You never did! So why bother with it now?" Beast Boy groaned.
Terra was silent. The witch must be up to something. I won't let her get away with this.
Outside the shop, Starfire ran to Raven's side and held her shoulders. "You are alright?" Starfire asked out of concern.
"Yes Star." Raven answered in monotone.
"I believe Terra is being the outrageous, Raven." Starfire's voice suddenly went from her usual high pitch to a lower pitch. Raven noticed this and turned to the alien. "For what reason does she have against you to do such a thing?"
"Let it go, Star." Raven pat Starfire's back, hopefully to stop the anger from building up in Starfire.
"No!" Starfire turned to Raven. "She has already been acting weird the past few months!"
"Months?" Raven asked. So...they do notice.
They are our friends, Raven. Knowledge said.
How would we know when they've swirling around Terra like flies? Rude rolled her eyes.
"Yes friend Raven. She has been bad mouthing you in front of the rest of us when you're not around." Starfire looked down in sadness. "I did not like it but she is my friend too. I do not know what to do."
"Didn't anyone else do anything about it?" Raven asked.
"We simply thought it was because of the complicated past that you guys had of not trusting each other caused this. But it seems this issue revolves around Beast Boy." Starfire sighed.
"Well I won't lie, I still don't trust her." Raven stated.
Suddenly, a loud announcement interrupted everything happening in the mall. "DEAR TEEN TITANS!"
Oh joy. The mayor. Raven thought.
"I CAN SEE THAT MOST OF THE TITANS MEMBERS ARE HERE! SO I AM MAKING THIS ANNOUNCEMENT PUBLICLY!" The mayor wasn't loud, but the speaker sure is.
"What would the mayor want? There seems to be no trouble." Starfire questioned.
"I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE TEEN TITANS TO A THANK YOU PARTY." The mayor said. "FOR NUMBER ONE: YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN SAVING THE DEAR CITY FOR YEARS. AND TWO: I REALIZED IT WAS TERRA'S ANNIVERSARY FOR JOINING THE TITANS. THEREFORE THIS PARTY CAN ALSO BE REGARDED AS A WELCOME BACK PARTY."
Psh. A party in Terra's honor. Whoop-de-fucking-doo. Rude put on her hood.
"THE THEME WOULD BE GOTHIC AND DARK SINCE WE WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING EXTREMELY DIFFERENT." The mayor continued. "THERE WOULD ALSO BE AN INDIRECT COMPETITION FOR THE MOST APPEALING DARK THEMED PERSON. THE REST OF THE DETAILS WERE SENT TO YOUR LEADER. DON'T WORRY! YOU GUYS WON'T BE THE ONLY ONES IN THE PARTY. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!" and the announcement ended.
"That was an interesting way to deliver a message to us." Raven said.
"All the better! We can do the shopping for the party as well!" Starfire grinned and dragged Raven away.
Inside the blindingly pink shop, Beast Boy and Terra caught the message too.
"A goth party huh?" Beast Boy grinned.
"Ha! A party for me! This is sweet!" Terra smirked. In your face, bitch.
"Yeah but it sounds like a party made for Raven." Beast Boy pointed out. "A theme of goth and darkness. It's perfect for her."
As soon as the green changeling mentioned such a fact, Terra's smirk turned to a frown. Damn, and they have a competition for most appealing person. She looked at her boyfriend, then to the public who was staring at them. I'll show them. I'll show them all!
"Come on BB, we gotta shop for the party!" Terra said as she grabbed Beast Boy's wrist, dragging him out of the shop.
The two groups of Titans spent hours around the mall trying to look for the correct outfit. More like, Starfire and Terra dragging their partner in shopping all around the mall getting nowhere. Every choice Starfire picked was either too bubbly, too happy, or just too plain bright in both shops and outfits. Raven has been smacking her forehead as Starfire went back to the dressing room to change back from a shiny baby blue dress with ruffles.
Raven rubbed her forehead. Ugh, it's starting to bruise.
She needs some help, Rae. Passion said with a painful look.
As for Terra, every combination of outfits she had would make Beast Boy wince and cringe at the sight. Her combinations were either the fact that colors don't match, the choice of clothing don't match, or the outfit made her look plain retarded due to her body shape. Beast Boy sighed when Terra went back to the dressing room to change back from a green mini skirt, a white tank top with red polka dots, and a yellow long-sleeved half jacket.
Beast Boy rubbed his eyes. Man, my eyes are painfully sore man. How are those colors in any way goth?
She needs some help man. She looks like a clown in training. The beast facepalmed.
Starfire continued to drag Raven to different shops until Raven had enough. "Stop Star." Raven said, withdrawing her arm. "Did it ever occur to you why I didn't try to look for outfits in the shop you picked?"
Starfire stopped from high. "You did not? Uh...no?"
"Because Star, I already have the perfect idea of which shop to go to. And I can never tell you since you kept interrupting me." Raven's eyebrow twitched. "We would've saved so much time."
"Oh. I apologize, friend Raven. Do take me to the perfect store of which you had in mind." Starfire said.
Raven sighed and walked the other way, Starfire following curiously. Finally. She listened.
After a two minute walk, Raven stood in front of the dark and creepy shop Starfire had tried so hard to avoid going into.
"Uh..." Starfire hesitated.
"You have no choice, Star." Raven said, going in. Starfire quickly followed Raven, scared she will be somehow devoured by the shop or something.
Raven looked around as she stepped in, meeting the eyes of the shopkeeper. They exchanged a smile and Raven stepped in further into the shop.
"R-Raven? What do you have in mind of your outfit?" Starfire asked quietly. She looked around, the walls are black with patterns that gives a blood-like feature dripping down the walls. Green ooze seemingly to be oozing out of nowhere as neon lights. Cobwebs, skulls, and spiders hanging everywhere. The outfits are either all dark, full of skulls, or gives the impression of I'm-gonna-kill-you-in-your-sleep.
Starfire shivered in fright and stood very close to Raven. Raven on the other hand enjoys the atmosphere.
This is calming. Passion sighed comfortably. Even Happy and Rage is calm.
Timid smiled slightly. Can we stay here forever?
Raven turned to study Starfire. "I know what I want. But I need to figure out one outfit for you. You're obviously not so good at this." she said, looking around the store.
Starfire caught her breath and asked, "What would I look gothic but appealing in?"
"Hmm...well..." Raven mumbled turning to a row of clothes. "Your sister's outfit seem to fit, but unfortunately, not dark enough." She said as she picked up a tight black cocktail dress with red highlights and little skulls surrounding the hem of the dress.
"So...I have to look like my sister?" Starfire said, disliking the idea.
"Sort of. But way better." Raven gave her smug look and showed her an outfit.
Starfire gasped with her eyes twinkling. "Oh Raven! It's perfect!"
"Yes...dark, lady-like, royally goth. Perfect for you isn't it?" Raven said.
"Oh but what about the shoes?" Starfire said, looking around for a pair to match.
"I have pair that's a perfect combination. No need to worry. I'll also fix up your hair. Basically, now I'll be the one fixing you up for the party." Raven assured Starfire.
"Oh goodie!" Starfire giggled. "What about you, friend Raven?"
Something with silk. Happy said.
Something with lace. Passion said.
Something with chains. Rude said.
Something with shackles. Rage said.
Something light. Timid said.
Something with an attracting glow. Knowledge said.
Or...something with all of them together. Raven thought. She smiled, lifting up a dress that was perfect to what her emoticlones had described.
Outside the shop, Terra and Beast Boy were still roaming around the mall, looking for something. Out of the corner of Beast Boy's eyes, he saw his two other female teammates coming out from a dark and spooky shop. What shocked him most was that Raven was grinning with Starfire.
Terra turned to find out what her boyfriend was looking at. Terra noticed the shop and noticed a few bags Raven and Starfire are holding, walking away from the shop. So...they found their outfits there. Terra dragged Beast Boy into the shop and the shopkeeper stood by the door. The two titans stared at her awkwardly. She had jet black hair that reached to her shoulders and neon pink highlights. Her multiple ear piercings and nose ring creeping Terra out with her black crop top, showing her piercing on her belly button, black shorts showing her dragon tattoo, and her combat boots.
"What do you want?" the shopkeeper said nonchalantly, chewing her bubblegum and tapping her black fingernails with shiny tiny skulls on the desk.
"I would like to look for an outfit?" Terra said in a rude tone.
"Hn." The shopkeeper scoffed. "Nothing here fits you, blondie."
"Oh I'll find something, emo." Terra said as she walked deeper into the store.
The shopkeeper took a look at Beast Boy and said, "You're cute." Beast Boy blushed and laughed sheepishly. "Better follow that psycho girlfriend of yours." The shopkeeper said, motioning towards where Terra went.
"Uh..yeah." Beast Boy said awkwardly and scurried after Terra.
Terra looked around, hoping to find something as soon as possible. "BB baby, help me quick!" Terra demanded.
"Doesn't it take a while to find the correct one?" Beast Boy asked, looking at the accessories.
"I don't care! I just need one that will make me win!" Terra said, smirking.
"Win?" the shopkeeper popped out of nowhere. "Look at you. You can't even save yourself." Looking down at her outfit.
Terra's eyes shined yellow. "Stay out of this, emo whore! Why don't you just take a knife and start cutting yourself."
"Oh that hurts." the shopkeeper said, her tone full of sarcasm, blowing a bubble till it pops, giving a mocking manner.
Beast Boy went to his girlfriend. "Terra, you're shopping in her shop. She can easily kick you out." He said, trying to calm her down.
Terra growled at him and went to another corner of the shop. "Why do you take it from her?" The shopkeeper asked the green changeling.
Beast Boy doesn't know how to respond. "Uh...I...I respect her. She's my girl."
"Yeah...sure. Where's her respect for you?" The shopkeeper blew another bubble waiting for answer. No replies came. "If this is your definition of a relationship, then boy do I feel sorry for you." The shopkeeper said, patting Beast Boy's shoulder and went back to her space at the cashier.
"BEAST BOY!" came Terra's scream, snapping him out of his deep thinking.
Beast Boy ran over to where Terra is and saw her holding a dress. His eyes shifted from the dress to Terra. And how is that dress supposed to help her in any way? The beast said.
"Um...it's...great, Terra." Beast Boy said, trying to sound enthusiastic.
Smooth. The beast commented.
"I know right?!" Terra said, grinning from ear to ear. "Now I'm definitely going to win for sure!"
Terra and Beast Boy approached to the shopkeeper, seeing her blow up another bubble. "I want this!" Terra said, slamming the dress onto the counter.
The shopkeeper popped the bubble in front of Terra's face. "Nice choice." She said as she folded the dress and stuck it in a bag. "Did you perhaps say...look at the price tag?"
"Oh I don't need to. I know my boyfriend will pay for it." Terra answered, crossing her arms.
The shopkeeper turned to Beast Boy, raising a brow at Beast Boy's uncomfortableness.
"Uh...Terra, you've been using my money all day!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"What are you implying?!" Terra turned and glared at Beast Boy.
"He's implying that you're using up all his dough and he gon' be broke, dumbass bitch." The shopkeeper said, fixing her nails.
"What did you call me?!" Terra turned back glaring only to stop immediately when she sees her holding up the bag with the dress in it.
"Pay. Or get the fuck outta here." The shopkeeper said.
Terra grumbled and paid for it using her own credit card. The shopkeeper smirked and gave the bag to Terra, who stormed out of the shop. Beast Boy smiled at the shopkeeper before leaving, saying, "Thanks."
Raven and Starfire got themselves milkshakes before they went back to the Titans Tower. Unfortunately for Raven, that gave Terra and Beast Boy some time to catch up.
"Hey Rae! Star!" Hearing that, the two female titans turned to find Terra and Beast Boy right on their tail.
Ugh...why!? Raven thought and bit on her straw, sipping her vanilla milkshake.
"Hello friends~" Starfire greeted. "How was your journey at the mall?"
"It was great Star. I found the perfect outfit to win at the party." Terra smirked, slightly looking at Raven next to her expecting a reaction.
"Oh? And which store was your outfit from?" Starfire asked out of curiosity.
"The creepy store at the corner of the mall." Terra simply said, yet observing Raven's reaction. To her surprise, she sees Raven smirking, and that's not the reaction she wanted.
Terra started to get mad until Beast Boy interrupted everything. "What about you guys? May we see your outfits?"
Starfire was about to say yes until Raven stopped her. "It will be a secret until the day of the party."
Terra started to get suspicious. What is she planning?
The gang reached the entrance of Titans tower and stepped in, finding Robin and Cyborg with serious expressions.
"Dudes, what's going on?" Beast Boy asked.
"How was the mall?" Robin asked.
"Forget that! I wanna know the details of the party!" Terra said, grabbing the black envelope on the couch.
Cyborg lifted a note in black. "The party's this Saturday night and it's held at some ballroom of the most appealing dark person has some special surprise as their prize. You can come alone or bring a date."
"Now that that's over with-" Robin started, but got interrupted by Terra.
"So guys! How is all this gonna work out? Who's going with who and who's going alone?" Terra grinned.
"Terra." Robin said in a warning tone.
"What, bird boy?" Terra said, glaring at Robin for ruining her mood.
Raven had enough. "So...what did you guys do when we were out?"
"We were playing video game and roaming on youtube..." Robin said as he moved to change what's showing on the screen. "until we found this."
Every Teen Titan looked at screen. Terra widened her eyes while Raven looked surprised.
So...somebody recorded it and posted it online. Raven thought.
Is that good or bad? Knowledge asked.
I could care less. Rude said.
On the screen...was a youtube video of Terra yelling at Raven in the mall...
