It was later that same day. When Robin found Raven meditating on the roof

"Ahh Raven I'm sorry to bother you but…."

"Yes Robin."

"I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie with me tonight."

"Umm sure."

"Really!"

"Really," Raven answered with a hint of a smile.

"Great. I thought we could go to the 7:00 show. Maybe see that new movie Dead Men Do Tell Tales. It is supposed to be really good."

"Okay."

"I'll see you then." Robin started to back away nervously. He tripped on a ball that someone, probably Beast Boy, had left out. Raven look at him to see what the sound was. Robin some how had gotten tangled up in his cape. She shook her head, smiled, and then looked away.

"Smooth Boy Wonder, very smooth," Robin muttered under his breath.

At about 6:00 Robin went to see if Raven was ready for their date. 'Did I just call it a date?'

'That's what it is isn't it? Think about it. You, her alone. Sounds like a date to me.'

'It's not a date! Who asked you any way!'

'You did.' The voice inside his head answered.

"Would you just shut up and leave me alone already?"

"Fine if you don't have to go to the movie, if you don't want to."

Raven's quiet voice startled him. He spun around so fast that he fell on his butt. He jumped up and said, "Oh no I still want to go. I just was finishing up a conversation with the voices inside my head.

"Okay…I'll meet you in the living room," Raven replied as she turned and walked away. Robin just turned around and began beating his head against the wall muttering "Stupid…Stupid…Stupid" over and over again.

Down in the living room Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing video games as usual. Cyborg was winning and Beast Boy wasn't looking too happy.

Starfire was in the kitchen making a strange purplish concoction.

"Oh, hello friend Raven, how are you? I have not seen you in almost 3 gornfabs," Starfire said cheerily when see noticed Raven.

"I'm fine Starfire. I was just coming to get something to eat before I went to the movie."

"You are going to see a moving picture by yourself?"

"Actually no, Robin's coming with me."

Starfire perked up at the mention of Robin's name. Cyborg and Beast Boy turned to stared at Raven their game forgotten.

"Robin is going with you?"

"Yes, he asked me to go with him."

"He must have been going to invite me as well."

"You'll have to ask Robin, that question." 'I hope Robin says "No." but somehow I know he won't'

Just then Robin walked in.

"Robin?"

"Yes Star."

"I wish to know if I may go to the moving picture with you and Raven. Remember you promised to go with me the second day you were awake."

Robin sighed, "Yes Starfire I do remember."

"So, may I please join you tonight?"

Robin sighed a little louder this time, "Okay Starfire I suppose so."

He tried not to wince when she squealed (like Beast Boy does when he is the form of a pig) and squeezed him a little tighter than was necessary. Over Starfire's shoulder he mouthed "Sorry" to Raven. But she had turned away from him her eyes to the floor.

Suddenly like a wave hit the shore it came to Robin. This had happened before, he struggle to remember…

It was a nigh much like this one cool up not too cool. The sun was just going done and he and Raven were planning on going to a horror/action movie marathon at the local theater. They were say good-bye to the rest of the team when Starfire invited herself along.

When they got the theater the decided, well actually he and Starfire decided they didn't even consult Raven, not to go the marathon. He had said, "Come on Raven, Starfire will be too scared, she won't understand that it's not real." So instead they went to a girly-girl movie about rainbows and ponies…

'I thought Raven was going to be sick.' He remembered. He smiled at the memory. 'But Raven didn't say anything to express her disappointment. Nothing at all. Much like she's doing now.' He frowned at the thought, 'I'll make it up to her somehow.'

He realized that Starfire must have let him go because he could breathe normally again.

"What are you looking at!" he said a little too harshly when he also noticed that everyone, well expect Raven who had found something very interesting on the floor, was staring at him. When no one answered he turned towards the door and said, "Common guys let's go."

Raven and Starfire followed him out.

Beast Boy asked, "What's up with him?"

Cyborg just shrugged and shook his head turning back to the game. Beast Boy stared after them for a few more minutes, before he too turned back to the game.

While they were waiting in line of tickets, at the theater, Raven spoke up for the first time since they left the tower.

"I'll see you guys later, I'm going to Dead Men Do Tell Tales, you guys go on ahead." And went to get in line for that movie.

But before she could leave, Robin grabbed her arm and said, "No, we'll all go to the same one, and since I did invite you to see Dead Men Do Tell Tales, that's the one we'll see." When he was finished he smiled at her encouragingly but she just shrugged and muttered, "Whatever."

When they got into the theater it was packed. They couldn't find three seats together anywhere, even in the front. So they ended up sitting across form each other with Raven sitting by herself on the side.

'Are you surprised? You knew that as soon as Starfire invited herself, that you wouldn't have anytime alone with Robin,' she thought in disgust.

Raven would have been surprised that Robin's thoughts matched her own.

'Why did Starfire have to invite herself? She always does this. Now I won't get to hang out with Raven, alone. Well at least we went to see a good movie, right?"

Wrong, the movie was horrible, the amount of blood and guts was minimal, the special effects lame, the storyline even worse, and to top it all off he had to suffer through Starfire cutting off the circulation to his arm and her muttering, "Think happy thoughts…Think happy thoughts…." The whole time was nauseating.

Robin glanced over at Raven for probably the hundredth time-'She doesn't look like she is having much fun'- Robin thought secretly pleased that Raven was as miserable as he was.

If you had asked Raven what the movie was about she couldn't have even told you the title- she had been too busy thinking up ways to kill Starfire and have Robin to herself.
