A/N: Hey hey hey! What's up guys? Casey here, and ready to write. Yayzers.

Raven was left in Beast Boy's rec room as he went to ask his parents if she could stay. She was nervous that they would say no and scared that after tonight she would never see Gar again.

She looked up when she saw footsteps and saw her green friend standing in the doorway.

"They said you can stay." He smiled his incredibly toothy grin like he had when she first saw him and sat next to her on the couch. "We're having Vegan Lasagna. Is that alright?"

Raven nodded. "Are you a vegan?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Yep, and quite proud as well. So, Rae, where do you live, anyway?" he asked, looking at her, "We were pretty much talking about me before."

Raven gasped at him, to which he looked confused.

"You mean you don't know?"

He shook his head, now looking very curious.

Raven felt her cheeks burn a little. She could tell that Gar was truly sorry for asking and making her feel embarrassed by his apologetic look.

"Err… I kind of… live at the… Homeless Shelter."

Gar gasped, his eyes wide with shock. "The homeless shelter? Why not the orphanage, at least?"

Raven looked down at the ground. "I didn't want to go there. I would to hate to get my hopes up and feel the rejection of not getting adopted."

Gar frowned at her. "There is no way no friend is going to be living in a homeless shelter."

Raven frowned back. "You're right. You don't need that burden put on your shoulders. I'll let myself out."

He put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to shiver a little at the unfamiliar touch.

"That's not what I meant, Raven. I'm getting you out of there. Wait here."

Raven, confused, sat back down and ran a hand through her hair. She once again waited for him to get back. When he did, she could almost hear the excitement in his breathing.

"Mom and Dad said you can stay over here with us for a little while until we sort all this out!" he exclaimed happily, causing her to jump up and gasp in surprise.

"What?" she asked, incredibly confused and shocked.

"I told you, they're the nicest parents ever! Come on, I'll introduce you."

He grabbed her hand and gently pulled her into the kitchen.

"Mom, Dad, this is Raven."

"Hello, dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Logan, giving Raven a big hug, "Oh, you are just so skinny! What are those people feeding you?"

"Hi, Raven," said Gar's father, shaking her hand, "Nice to meet you."

Raven nodded and looked down to two small children.

"And Raven, this is my little sister Katelyn, and my little brother Jack. They're twins. Mom and Dad were just going to adopt Kate, but they didn't want to separate the two so they adopted Jack as well."

Raven smiled. "That's sweet."

The family and their guest sat down and all ate their dinner together.

"So, Raven," asked Gar's mom during the meal, "I'll drive you down to the shelter to get your things after dinner, okay?"
"Err…" Raven mumbled, looking at her feet the best she could, "I really have nothing but the backpack I have with me."

Everyone around the table gasped, especially Gar's mother.

"Oh, honey!" she exclaimed, "Right after dinner we're going shopping!"

And she kept true to her word. After both had finished, they got into the Logan's minivan and drove down to the local store. Mrs. Logan bought Raven everything she could get her hands on. New clothes, a bathrobe, and even her own pillow, soap, and deodorant. Raven thanked her for everything and with each item she insisted that she didn't need it but the woman wouldn't let her say no.

When they returned home, Raven was treated to a nice hot shower and a lovely guest room where she got the best night's sleep she had ever had. She got up to a nice breakfast of tofu eggs and soy milk (which was surprisingly good) and then got dressed and was driven to school by Mr. Logan along with Gar.

The two happened to have the same first period English class. Gar sat next to Raven in class happily. They didn't have any other classes together so they went their separate ways until lunch. Raven sat by herself, as usual until Gar came up to her.

"Hey, Raven," he said, smiling. Mrs. Logan had packed them both a good lunch which they began eating.
"Gar?" Raven asked, softly.

"Mmhmm?" he mumbled, unable to speak because of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich in his mouth.

"Why are you being so nice to me?"

He swallowed and took a sip of his water.

"Because you're nice and fun."
"But…" Raven said sadly, "Everyone hates me. Your reputation will be… ruined."

"Who freaking' cares?" he asked, laughing, "I couldn't care less about that. I'm not going to not hang out with someone because of who likes them! I like you, Raven. I think we could have a great friendship."

"Gar?" she asked again, this time almost in tears.

"Mmhmm?" he mumbled once more.

"Thank you so much."

He nodded, smiling.
