Yeah, here's something I forgot to do…
Legal Disclaimer: I do not own TT or the poem 'The Raven'. They belong to Cartoon Network and Edgar Allen Poe respectively. I do, however own Ken, and I will never let him go!
Ken: DR, I can't breath…
DR: Sorry! Um… . ...>.>... Here's the next chappie!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'So it seems little Ravey has a crush on Robin, but thinks he has a crush on Starfire…' Ken thought as he paced around his room.
'This will be a tough one.' He walked around a bit more and suddenly got a mischievous smile on his face.
'I got the perfect plan.' Ken walked over to his bookshelf and grabbed a large black book. He teleported out of his room into the hallway behind Robin.
"Hey Rob!" He said.
"AAH!" Robin jumped and turned around in mid-air, pulling out his iron bo and attempted to hit whatever was behind him on the head.
"Dude, chill out! It's just me!" Ken said, making a shield to deflect the blow.
"Don't do that! You scared the crap out of me!" Robin said, putting away his bo.
"I've noticed that you have a lot on your mind, what with there being almost no crime. You're thinking that someone will come and commit a crime anytime, so here's something to clear your mind." Ken said, handing Robin the book.
"It's one of my favorites so please, don't let anything happen to it." Ken teleported away.
"Thanks…" Robin said. Suddenly something hit him.
"Hey, I thought you never read someone's mind unless you got permission!"
'That's Raven, Robin.' Ken thought.
'I'm not Raven. Remember that.' Robin grumbled and walked to the living room. He sat down on the couch in front of the TV and began to read the book.
"A collection of some of Edgar Allen Poe's greatest stories and poems…hmm."
'Good, he's reading the book, now let's see where Raven is.' Ken said as he teleported out of a dark corner in the living room where he had been spying on Robin and into a corner in the darkest hallway. Raven had just finished showering. She put her robe back on, walked back into her room and changed into a white tee-shirt and black shorts. She grabbed a book from her bookshelf and walked to the living room. When she got there, she heard Robin talking and listened.
'Perfect! He's reading the poem and Raven is here!' Ken thought.
"Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!' I shrieked upstarting -
Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken! - quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door'
Quoth the raven, Nevermore.'"
Raven walked over to the couch, listening to Robin read her favorite poem.
"And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore!"
'He doesn't even notice she's right behind him! Time for me to step in…' Ken made a chair behind Raven levitate a few centimeters off the ground. He let it drop, it making a dull 'clunk' sound as it landed. Robin looked over his shoulder.
"Oh hey Raven." He said.
"Hi Robin. What are you reading?" She asked, sitting down next to him.
"It's a poem called 'The Raven'."
"Could you read it to me?" Raven asked.
'Say yes, Robin. This is her favorite poem. Say yes or you're gonna blow it. Say yes, damnit!' Ken thought, now gazing anxiously at the two.
"Sure." Robin said, looking at the book again.
'Yes! Now just do it…' Raven listened as Robin read the poem. She wasn't even thinking as she moved closer to Robin. When Robin had finished reading, he noticed that Raven was so close their bodies were pressing together. Robin fought to keep himself from doing something he would regret to Raven.
"So, uh, you like the poem?" Robin asked, getting a little nervous.
"Yeah it's one of my favorites."
'Go on, go on…'
"Yeah, I kind of like it too… Say, you wanna maybe go and hang out sometime? I mean, staying in the Tower day after day now is getting boring." Raven's eyes got wide. Was Robin really asking her out? She quickly straightened up.
'GO ON, GO ON….' Ken thought, more anxious now.
"Sure. I know a great place we can go. It's called the BlackBird Café." Robin grinned.
"How about we go tomorrow at 3? Seems a bit too late to go now." Robin said.
"Sure. Just don't be late, Bird Boy. I know about your little collection and how you stay up late looking at it. Because of that, you might be sleeping in again…" Raven said with a mischievous smile on her face. Robin got a look of panic on his face.
"Hey, how did you know about that stash? I thought I hid it from you all" Raven got a confused look on her face.
"Calm down Robin, I was only kidding. So, you really do have a stash?"
"Um…no, don't have one." Robin quickly got up, apparently still nervous.
"Well,I'mgonnagotobednowg'nightRaven!"(Well, I'm gonna go to bed now g'night Raven!) Robin quickly walked out of the living room, leaving a giggling Raven behind.
'Well, it's a start I guess…' Ken thought as he teleported out of the room and into his. Raven noticed Robin left his book behind. She picked it up and walked to Robin's room.
"Robin?" She said, knocking on his door. There was no answer. She opened the door slightly and saw Robin changing out of his clothes. She quickly closed the door, blushing. A minute later, Robin opened the door and saw Raven.
"Hey, Rave, what do you want?" Still blushing, Raven handed him the book.
"You left it on the couch. Well, good night Robin." She quickly turned around and walked to her room. Robin couldn't help ogling Raven as she walked.
He quickly snapped back as Raven was out of view.
'Crap, why couldn't I just say it right there? Why couldn't I have just told Raven how I feel?' Robin was plagued with these thoughts as he lay in bed that night.
"Well, a little something happened." Ken said as he paced around his room.
"It's time to speed things up a little…Operation: Lovebirds is going to take things up a notch….Muahahahahahaha" Ken immediately stopped as he coughed, gasped, and spluttered.
"Note to self: work on evil laugh"

Here it is, the fifth chapter! This will probably be one of the last chapters this month, due to undisclosed reasons.
Raven: Come on, DR! Please let me see the picture one last time!
DR: Raven, can't you see I was talking to my fans?
Raven: Please let me see!
DR; Fine, but keep quiet. Hands Raven the picture of Robin with only a towel on.
Ken: I know, it disturbs me too. I never my--Gets tackled by me.
DR: Ken, you know you can't say that yet! That is for us to know and the fans to find out…
Ken: Come on, I have to say that Raven—mumph!
DR; Excuse me, I have to go find a wooden chair, some rope and some duct tape. Until next time! R&R!
