Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans.

Robin and Starfire had agreed to go on their date after dinner and Robin couldn't control his nerves. He stood in his room staring at the outfit he'd picked out for Starfire, which he of course was going to wear being in her body. He couldn't believe that on their first date he wasn't even going to be in his own body. He hoped the next date everything would be straightened out; actually he just hoped there was a next date. Robin turned and quickly removed his uniform and put on the new outfit. He'd been careful to avoid his mirror when changing but couldn't necessarily control his wandering eye. He might have the body of a girl but he still had the mind of a boy and he had to admit, Starfire had an impressive body. He shook the thoughts from his mind as he turned back to face the mirror. Starfire looked amazing in the outfit… he rarely got to see her in anything but her uniform. The high-waisted lilac skirt was short but not too short and the pink floral cutoff revealed only a thin portion of her midriff.

Robin knew that no matter what Starfire wore it was still easy to recognize her. Her height, her bright auburn hair, her orange skin… they all gave her away. It was easy for Robin himself to pull off being "normal," he was human after all. All he had to do was remove the mask and the costume and he was just another civilian. When he was living with Bruce he often would use his real identity to blend in with the citizens. As a Titan though… he found himself only using the Robin identity. Being the only one who could truly blend in he felt it was almost unfair to the rest of his teammates… A knock on Robin's door brought took him from his thoughts. He answered it to see Starfire, in the new outfit she'd picked out for him. He had to admit it did look pretty good on him. He normally wouldn't find himself wearing a leather jacket but it didn't look as bad as he would have thought. Starfire was wearing a dark pair of sunglasses to hide her eyes of course.

"I brought you these." She handed him a pair of sunglasses as well so he wouldn't have to wear his mask tonight either. It would be weird wearing their sunglasses at night but it was necessary to keep their identities secret.

"Are you ready to go?"

"I am!" Starfire smiled as she turned and they both headed to the elevator. They were going to drive to the pier instead of fly in order to feel like normal teens. Robin had called in a favor from his old mentor and had received an all-black motorcycle almost identical to the R-cycle. It was just a rental of course but it would allow them some added secrecy. Robin sped off down the tunnel that lead to the city. It didn't take long to arrive at the pier. Robin parked his motorcycle and the two walked down the pier, Starfire looking in awe at all the rides and carnival games.

"May we play the games of the carnival?"

"Sure." Robin walked over to the first game he saw, the kind where you throw a ball to knock over all the bottles. He wasn't a huge fan of carnival games, mostly because they were either rigged or unwinnable and he didn't like to lose.

"Gonna win ya pretty lady a prize, huh?" The man eyed Starfire and she looked a bit uncomfortable. Without saying anything Robin handed the man a few dollars and took the three softballs from him. The man gave him a strange look but Robin ignored it. He eyed the bottles, calculating the perfect spot to hit them and threw the ball. He managed to knock off the top one only. The man put the bottle back and waited for Robin to throw again. Focusing again he took aim and threw, this time hitting the right spot and knocking over all three bottles. Starfire squealed behind him but the man didn't seem to notice. "Alright, pick any one you want." Robin turned back to Starfire who pointed to a large monkey holding a banana. The man got it down and handed it to Robin who handed it over to Starfire. She hugged it happily and they kept walking.

"Thank you Robin! What shall we do next?" Robin checked the time on his communicator.

"It's a little after 8 so we could get some food and then get in line for the Ferris wheel."

"Wonderful!" They made their way over to one of the food vendors. Robin ended up getting funnel cake while Starfire got a bag of cotton candy. They sat down on a bench to eat their food, Starfire was still amazed at the "magical properties" of cotton candy. She didn't seem to like to funnel cake as much, it was probably too sweet for her tastes. Once they finished they made their way over to the line for the Ferris wheel. If they timed it right they'd get to stop on the Ferris wheel and watch the fireworks. As they were walking Robin felt someone getting unusually close to him and Star. He suddenly felt a hand on his rear and he whipped around to face a teen boy with a smirk on his face.

"Hey girl, you look good tonight. Why you hangin' with this loser when you could get with a winner like me?" Acting on natural instinct Robin immediately punched the kid in the face, sending him to the ground. Starfire grabbed his arm and quickly pulled him away from the small crowd that was gathering around the boy.

"Robin, why did you hit that person?"

"Didn't you hear what he said? And he grabbed… me. He was a pervert and I'm not gonna let guys like him touch you like that."

"Oh. That is not… uncommon with Earth boys…"

"You mean that's happened to you before?" Robin was fuming now.

"Well… yes… but I do not find myself punching them for it."

"Star, why didn't you tell me guys have been doing that to you?"

"I do not understand… I did not know it was a bad thing…" Robin sighed. Sometimes he forgot that she still didn't know all of Earth's customs, good and bad.

"It's not a good thing Star… guys aren't supposed to treat you like that." Robin looked back at where the teen had been. "Come on, we gotta get in line." After a short wait they were finally on the ride and moving when the first firework shot off. It slowed down just after they'd passed over the top and came to a stop. It wasn't as good of a view as last time, but it was decent. Robin watched as the fireworks burst in the sky, lighting it up with various colors. Robin felt something on top of his hand and noticed Starfire had placed her hand on his. The two sat in quiet awe as they watched the fireworks.

"Robin, I am glad they we have come to the pier together. It has been most enjoyable."

"I've had fun too Star. I… I really like…" Robin was cut off by the thunderous booming of the finale. People below were whopping and cheering as they colors took over the night sky lighting up like daytime.

"This is the finale, correct?" Starfire had to shout over the noise.

"Yeah!" When the finale ended the Ferris wheel began to move again and deposited them back on the pier. People were still cheering for the fireworks display. Robin found that he was still holding Starfire's hand as they walked down the pier back towards his motorcycle.

"Robin, what is it you were going to say?"

"I…" He was once again cut off though by the sound of people screaming. Robin turned in the direction of the noise behind them and saw people running away from something. "Trouble." He let go of Star's hand and ran towards the chaos. It didn't take long to find the source of the commotion.

"Oh come now kids, brighten up. I'm only trying to shed some light on this dreadful place." Dr. Light was standing on top of one of the food carts, a strange new contraption on his back. It looked sort of like a backpack with a large tube extending from it. On the end of the tube was a flashlight-type tool. It was obviously more than just a flashlight though as Dr. Light aimed it at the ground in front of a few pedestrians and it quickly burned right through the wood.

"Dr. Light! What are you doing here?"

"Oh if it isn't two of the Teen Titans. Interesting costumes… ah and I see you left the dark one at home. Perfect."

"What are you trying to accomplish?"

"Just trying to 'stir the pot' you could say. I'm testing out my new Sun Ray and with it you can't get anywhere near me without being incinerated on the spot."

"Not on our watch." Robin crouched down and was ready to attack.

"Oh, lighten up." He aimed the ray at Robin and fired, a blazing yellow beam coming his way.

"Robin, look out!" Robin leapt into the air and flew out of the reach of the ray. He took aim with his starbolts and fired a volley at Dr. Light. Robin wasn't expecting them to bounce right off the man.

"Oh did I mention I upgraded my suit too? It's energy-absorbing and highly indestructible." With Dr. Light's attention focused on Robin, Starfire launched several birdarangs at the man. The first two bounced off him harmlessly but the third managed to hit him in the head, the one place the suit didn't cover. He was knocked off balance and stumbled off the cart, quickly recovering on the ground. He aimed his Sun Ray at where Starfire had been standing a moment ago and burned a large hole in the pier. "Come back into the light." Starfire quickly delivered a kick to his back, knocking him forward. Robin flew down and delivered a punch to his gut, sending him upward a few feet.

"You can't win Light." Robin landed another punch on the man's jaw, sending him back again. He wasn't expecting Light to push the button on his Sun Ray however, and didn't have time to dodge the ray of light that was aimed at him.

"Robin!" Starfire's voiced was all he heard over the burning sensation that spread over his skin and filled his veins. He was grateful when darkness finally came to him.

"Is he going to be okay?" Starfire's panicked voice rang out through the darkness.

"It's Robin we're talking about, he'll pull through. It's not gonna be a pretty recovery though." Cyborg's voice informed her.

"I'll get Beastboy, see if he can heal any of this." Raven's voice was followed by the sound of a door closing. Lights began to dance across his vision as he slowly came to. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times, bright white light filling his vision.

"St…Star?" Robin struggled to say the name.

"Robin!" He was immediately engulfed in a hug that lit his entire body on fire. He was close to losing consciousness again when Cyborg pulled her back.

"Careful Star, you're gonna hurt him more." Robin took several shallow breaths as the pain slowly faded to a dull ache. Gathering his bearings he looked around to see he was in the Titan's med bay. Cyborg was looking at a few monitors near the bed and Starfire was looking down at him with a saddened expression. She was still in the outfit she'd worn to the pier.

"Wh… what happened? Dr. Light? Did he get away?"

"You were hit by his Sun Ray!" Starfire looked like she was about to begin crying again.

"Starfire knocked him out and the police came and got him but the damage was already done. You're lucky though. If you'd been in your normal body you probably would be dead… Starfire's body can withstand the harsh environment of space as well as be immune to radiation. It seems that this saved you but it didn't stop you from getting hurt." Robin slowly lifted one of his arms to see it was red and blistered, almost as if he'd gotten a bad sunburn… a really bad sunburn. The med bay doors swung open again as Beastboy and Raven entered.

"Dude… you know they have this thing called sunscreen, right?" Starfire looked like she wanted to kick Beastboy through a window.

"Just try and heal some of his wounds." Raven replied.

"Right. Um, let me start with your face. Just lay back and stay still." Beastboy held his pale hand over Robin's face and closed his eyes. He concentrated for a few seconds before he began chanting to himself. His hand glowed blue and Robin felt a warm sensation spread over his face. The dull pain he felt around his skull slowly disappeared. Beastboy pulled his hand back and had a pained expression on his face for a moment before relaxing. "I think I can get rid of the blisters everywhere else but… you'll have to live with this redness and soreness for a few days." Robin simply nodded as Beastboy held both of hands out over Robin's body and repeated the process. A few seconds the blisters disappeared from Robin's skin. He still felt sore but knew he could handle this.

"Thanks Beastboy." The changeling simply nodded before turning and walking out of the room closely followed by Raven. It seemed Beastboy was acting a lot more like Raven and it was kind of weird to see.

"Alright well, you two should get some rest. I think you'll be fine to sleep in your bed tonight. Just take this." Cyborg handed him a bottle full of a green liquid: Aloe Vera. He left the room but Starfire hadn't moved from her place. Robin slowly sat up and removed the monitors from his chest, arm, and head. Looking down he noticed his clothes where little more than rags now, loosely hanging on his body. He grabbed the blanket from the bed and wrapped it around himself. He slowly swung his legs off the bed and stepped off shakily. His whole body felt sore and he wasn't sure he could move from this position so he stood where he was with a dumb look on his face. Starfire quickly wrapped her arm around his waist and helped him move forward. Every step sent a new wave of pain up his body but it was becoming more bearable. Starfire supporting some of his weight helped as well.

"Robin, I am sorry that you have gotten hurt." Starfire still had a sad tone to her voice.

"Look Star, it's part of our job, sometimes we get hurt. I'm alright though, really." The elevator doors opened and the two hobbled out, slowly making their way to Robin's room. The door to his room slid open and Starfire walked him to his bed.

"I shall return in a moment." Starfire quickly left the room but was back soon. She set a new uniform on his dresser and walked over to the bed with one of her nightgowns in her hand. She didn't say anything as she pulled off the new top and skirt, which immediately fell to shreds at her touch anyways. She helped Robin get the nightgown over his head. It was weird having her dress him like this. He knew that it was her body technically and so it shouldn't be that weird but still… it was the idea of it that was strange to him. She deposited the shirt and skirt in the trash as she stood and walked toward the door. Robin slowly leaned back so he was laying in his bed.

"Starfire?" She turned around to face him. "Thank you… I had a good night, even with Dr. Light showing up… I… I really like…" Robin was having trouble getting what he wanted to say out. Starfire walked back over to his bed and leaned down to look at him. She quickly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek before turning and heading back to the door. Robin was stunned.

"I too had fun." With that she left the room.

"Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos." Beastboy was deep in his thoughts when he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Beastboy." He slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see Raven standing over him. "You're needed in the med bay."

"What happened?" Beastboy jumped up and followed Raven out of his room and to the elevator.

"Robin got hurt in battle. You need to do a bit of healing."

"Ok." Beastboy was surprised to hear that Robin had gotten hurt, Cyborg had told him that Robin and Starfire had gone on a date and so they definitely weren't expecting to fight anyone. Of course that was the price of being a superhero, normalcy only went so far before you were sucked back in. The medical bay doors slid open and Beastboy followed Raven in. He got his first glimpse at Robin and it was actually pretty gruesome. It looked like he'd been boiled; his skin was florescent red and covered in blisters and it definitely could not feel good. Beastboy decided to crack a joke in an attempt to lighten the mood; it failed miserably.

"Just try and heal some of his wounds." Raven replied.

"Right. Um, let me start with your face. Just lay back and stay still." Beastboy stepped forward and held his hand over his leader's face. He concentrated on the area and what he wanted to do and focused his energy into his hand. The warm feeling entered his palm and was soon followed by an irritating pain shooting up Beastboy's arm. He did his best to hide it but could tell from the look on Robin's face he'd failed. "I think I can get rid of the blisters everywhere else but… you'll have to live with this redness and soreness for a few days." Once again Beastboy held his hands out over Robin's body and concentrated, pushing the new pain to the back of his mind. He could feel the blisters disappearing from Robin's body and the pain entering his own. The sensation spread all over his body but he held his ground until the process was complete.

"Thanks Beastboy." Beastboy nodded and left the room. He struggled down the hallway before he finally collapsed on the ground near the elevator. He felt a hand rest on his shoulder and didn't have to think very hard to know who it was.

"How do you do it Rae? The pain… I-I can't imagine some of the injuries you've healed." Beastboy took in several quick breaths, trying to calm himself down. He shifted into a cross-legged position and put his head in his hands. He knew the pain would go away soon.

"You get used to it I guess."

"Why do you do it though? If it hurts you?" Raven knelt on the ground beside him.

"I don't want to see my friends in pain…" Beastboy could feel the warm emotions rolling off of Raven. He knew Raven cared for all of the team but it was nice to actually feel it for once. Several minutes passed before the pain slowly began to subside and Beastboy decided he should get moving. Raven, who hadn't moved her hand from his shoulder, seemed to sense this as she stood and then helped him up. They walked the rest of the way to the elevator and headed back upstairs. Beastboy was about to head to his room before he stopped and turned to face Raven.

"Hey Raven, do you want to go to the roof with me? I'm probably not gonna go to sleep for a while and I could use some company." Raven seemed to contemplate the suggestion before answering him.

"I suppose." Beastboy grinned and led her to roof door. He found a comfortable spot near the edge and sat down, Raven following suit. She looked out over the bay and he followed her gaze. They really had the best view of the city from hear and at night it seemed so much more peaceful.

"Do you think Mumbo will get this all fixed soon?"

"If he doesn't we'll find another way. I prefer to be in my own body."

"You have to admit, it's been kind of a fun week, right?"

"How so?"

"I mean… we got to see what it's like to be in someone else's body and have different powers. That's at least a little cool!"

"Sure." Raven replied in her usual monotone.

"Come on Rae! What's it gonna take for you to loosen up a bit? This is your chance to not hold back! Why can't you enjoy it just a little?"

"Beastboy I'm not having this conversation again." He was becoming irritated now. One little laugh or smile couldn't hurt, could it?"

"C'mon Rae! Be happy, laugh, smile, something!" Beastboy hopped up from his sitting position and did an awkward little dance around Raven. He grabbed her hands and pulled her up and spun her around with him. He tripped over his feet and fell but quickly got back up. He attempted to sing a song in the wrong key but still got no response from her.

"Beastboy…" He spun her around faster, giggling a bit himself, even though he could feel the energy inside of him attempting to break free. "Beastboy I can't!" Her shout stopped him dead in his tracks. He was certain that if she had been in her own body he would have been blown off the roof. She looked away from him and out towards the bay, crossing her arms. "I can't."

"Raven, I-" He put his hand on her shoulder and turned her to face him. He wasn't expecting to see her face wet with tears. She stood there not looking at him and not making a sound, just letting the tears roll down her face; her violet eyes became puffy and red. "I didn't mean to make you upset, I was… I was just trying to make you laugh…" Raven let out a sigh and sat back down on the ground and Beastboy quickly followed.

"It-it's not you. I've be-been holding it back for to-too long." She struggled to get the words out as a sob escaped from her mouth. Beastboy placed his hand on her shoulder, then pulled her into a hug. He wrapped his arms around her and she didn't protest. The two sat like that for several minutes before Raven pulled away. She wiped her cheeks and looked back out across the bay. "I've been trying to keep my emotions in check, I didn't want to let go because I'm afraid it'll be harder for me when I get back into my own body but… Sometimes it's good to let go. I've built up too much emotion I think. It's better I let it out here, like this, than in my own body where it could affect my powers." Beastboy smirked, trying to keep himself from saying 'I told you so.'

"It's alright to let go sometimes, it's part of being human you know."

"I'm not human though."

"You're part human though."

"Hm."

"And even though you have these crazy powers driven by your emotions, sometimes you have to let it out. If you keep all of your emotions bottled up you'll just end up… I don't know… exploding." Beastboy swore he heard Raven chuckle but it could have just been a cough.

"That still doesn't mean I'm allowed to feel whatever I want."

"You don't have to completely ignore those emotions either though. I've had your powers for almost a week now and I've learned that I can still express some emotion without your powers going haywire."

"It's not as easy as you make it sound. You're used to expressing your emotions, I've been trained to suppress them. I don't think I can feel the way you do anymore." The two of them sat in silence once again, both watching the city lights, when Beastboy got a crazy idea. The kind of crazy that would get him killed if he was in his own body but he wasn't. A devious smile spread across his face as he turned back towards Raven.

"I've always wondered…" He leaned a bit closer to her. "If you're ticklish!" He reached for her sides and the back of her neck, since she was in his body he knew exactly where his ticklish spots were. She fell back and a genuine laugh escaped her lips. She closed her eyes and tried to kick him out of the way to no avail.

"B-Beastboy! Stop it! N-not funny!" He was laughing too now as he continued to tickle her sides. The sound of her laughter, her real laughter, was something he'd never expected. It was almost melodic and he could listen to her laugh for hours.

"If it's not funny, why are you laughing?" He stopped when he heard something pop behind him. He turned around to see it was just a basketball that had exploded due to his powers. He was suddenly pushed to the ground as Raven started tickling him. Soon they were both rolling around on the roof laughing and attempting to tickle each other. Several of the lights that lined the roof exploded and he sent a lawn chair flying off the roof and into the bay. "Alright! Alright! That's enough!" Beastboy laid back on the roof and looked up at the sky. He was out of breath from laughing so hard and his insides felt very strange from all the released emotions. Raven leaned back beside him and tried to calm herself down as well. The only sound was them breathing and the waves crashing below.

"Thank you Beastboy."

"For what?"

"For making me laugh." Beastboy wanted to hold on to the warm emotions he felt emanating from Raven. He closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the waves. It was so peaceful out on the roof and he felt like he could almost fall asleep out there. He heard Raven shift beside him but didn't react to it. He did open his eyes however when he felt someone leaning over him. He looked up to see Raven only a few inches from his face. She quickly leaned in and kissed him. It was a short kiss, but a kiss nonetheless. As soon as she did it she got up and left the roof. Beastboy laid in the same spot absolutely stunned. Raven had just kissed him? In a weird sort of way he'd just kissed himself but he tried not to think of it like that. She had actually kissed him and he felt… happy? Confused? Hadn't he been secretly wanting this for a long time now though? He could still feel where her lips had met his… He snapped himself out of it and got up. It was probably best for him to go to bed and worry about it tomorrow.

On the way back to his room he was ambushed with thoughts. She had kissed him. Did she like him? Did he like her? Yes. Yes he definitely liked her, but he'd never told her that. He never thought he had a chance with her. She had kissed him. What if it was a spur of the moment decision? What if she didn't mean it? What if she pretended it never happened tomorrow? What was he supposed to say to her tomorrow? What did this mean for them? He nearly drove himself insane with thoughts but eventually sleep found its way to him.
