Hello all again. I know, I let WAY to little time pass. But what can I say? I am really excited about how close I am to being done with this story. I have... three more plot points to get through, and it won't take that long. I am going to skip ahead in time pretty soon, I just thought this would be a cute side-plot.

"Come on! Please let me do something! It's been three days and you guys have barely let me up off the couch!" Ty whined.

"It is only because we are concerned for the well being of you and the tiny child inside of you friend Thyme. We do not want you to suffer the pain again."

"I'm FINE!" She growled at Starfire as the alien tried to keep her from getting up off of the couch in her bedroom. "I don't need looking after! I know when I am pushing myself too hard, and the boys have no idea what your kitchen needs!"

"You are not going grocery shopping with us and that's final." Cyborg laid down the law from the doorway. "You are staying here with Raven, and you aren't going to leave this room." With that he and Starfire left a very bored Thyme alone with a very inattentive babysitter.

"Raven?" She knocked on the door across the hallway. "Raven, can I come in?" The door opened a crack and she saw Raven's eyes leer out at her.

"No. Aren't you supposed to be resting?"

"Yeah, but I'm bored!" She exclaimed. "Please! Can we go somewhere? Anywhere! I don't care if we go walk laps around the tower, I just want to get out of here!"

"How in the world did you stand living with Slade in a warehouse basement for a year?" Raven opened the door a little more and walked out. "Fine, you can go to the bookstore with me. But you will need to change clothes."

Thyme looked down at the pink shirt and kaki pants she was wearing, and then back at Raven. "What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

After Raven had raided her closet for a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt, Thyme was practically jumping at the chance to leave the tower.

"So, where is this bookstore anyway?" She asked as they walked out of the tower. "If you tell me, I can teleport there and then it won't be too much work."

"Thirty third street. It's called Cursed and Enchanted: The store for all your spellbook needs."

"I guess that explains the need for darker clothing." Ty popped out of view and a few minutes later Raven flew up to the outside of the bookstore and saw her waiting there.

"Before we go in, I want you to remember a few things." Raven looked very serious. "No happy, no perky, and no excited."

"Got it. So, just act like you?"

"Be grateful I didn't ducktape you to the couch and leave you there to watch Stargate reruns." Raven snapped back.

"I could have gotten out of ducktape." Ty glared, it was a strange look for her. "Is this better?"

"It'll work. Come on. Let's go." Raven entered the bookstore and Ty followed her with a very cautious step.

Ok, so it's a little weird, but it will make sense later...
