I'm sorry I haven't updated! It's just that I'm going into high school and everything and we have to pick our classes and mail it in and it's so STRESSFUL!...but I had to update today. Speaking of which, Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
And that reminds me, I finished 'Dear Robin'! I bet you all forgot about that, lol. I don't think it's very good, but I promised, so...I just have to edit it and I'll post it soon! Hopefully in the next week or two (it's almost as long as the first one).
I totally forgot to say this in the last few chapters, but these events are completely unconnected, with the exception of that TV thing and Stuffed Robin.

"Valentine's Day. Joy to the world..."
"Friend, is that not a Christmas carol? Is it customary to sing them at this 'Day of Valentines' as well?" Starfire asked. She took a deep breath, and her face turned blue when Raven sealed her mouth with dark magic.
"No. And it's not customary to sing Christmas carols at Christmas, either. They're pointless and annoying, like Beast Boy. You didn't need to parade around the Tower with him," she muttered.
Starfire shrugged. "It was very much of the fun! Especially when Robin joined. Did you not find it amusing?"
"No."
Starfire shrugged again, busily throwing all sorts of candy into tiny, pink bags and sealing them with a much bigger pink bow. Even the candy inside was all pink. It was enough to make Raven barf, as she had done twice already that morning. "IS this not a festival of love? You must agree that this is a most glorious holiday, spent with ones you love and--"
"Starfire, please," Raven begged, starting to gag again. Starfire sighed and left, carrying a huge box filled with a dentist's nightmares, evidently for Robin. Raven was left by the Ops Center window, frowning at the sunny weather.
She heard a scuffle and looked over. Cyborg straightened from his crawled and turned a bright scarlet. "Raven! Funny seeing you here!"
Raven cocked an eyebrow. "This is the Tower. I live here. As do you. In case you've forgotten."
"Heh...yeah..." Cyborg scooted cautiously to the garage.
"Where are you going?"
"Who, me? Nowhere! Nope, not me, I wouldn't leave this mighty fine Tower, definitely not to head over to Steel City, now why would I want to do that? Not because Bumblebee's there, of course not, and I'm not going anywhere while we're supposed to be going on patrol in a couple of hours, so there's no need for Robin to worry. I'm just...uh...grocery shopping!" And he zoomed out the door.
Funny, Raven thought, resting her head against the window and watching the T-car mysteriously appear on the highway along the coast. The only grocery we're out of is Beast Boy's tofu...
Speaking of which, where was the green bean? He'd been mysteriously quiet all day, and that, though supposedly welcome, was strange. As far as Raven knew, he hadn't even come out for breakfast that morning. Who knew, maybe he hated Valentine's Day as much as her.
The door to the Ops Center opened, and out stumbled a very red Robin. He relaxed when he saw her. "Starfire isn't here, is she?"
"No. Why?"
He chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his head, only he was holding something and it thonked him before he realized what he'd done. "Uh...no reason...?"
"She went to her room, I think."
"Oh...s-so...where's Cyborg?"
"Grocery shopping."
"Come on! I specifically ordered him not to go to Titans East!" Robin stormed out of the room, and Raven heard a surprised squeak (from Robin or Starfire, she didn't know) when he bumped into the alien princess he'd been looking for.
A few more minutes were spent in contemplation before the door opened again. "Raven?" asked a quiet voice. Quiet? No way...
"Beast Boy."
He slid up to her, grinning nervously. Then he thrust out his hands. Lying there was a heart-shaped box of chocolate. "Happy Valentine's Day."
Raven stared at the box, surprised, then up at Beast Boy. Then down to the box. The shape-shifter grew nervous, and he drew back his hands a little bit, but Raven stopped him. "I...I've never gotten a Valentine before..." Her lips twisted upwards ever so slightly. "Thank you."
The door to the Ops Center slid open yet again, and out fell a giggling Robin and Starfire. "We're just...heading out. On patrol," Robin lied pathetically.
Raven rolled her eyes. "So are we." Beast Boy seemed surprised. "I think there's a restaurant downtown that carries hints of criminal activity..." Beast Boy's eyes brightened.
"As long as their tofu burgers aren't over-priced!"
I'm sorry, it wasn't funny or anything, but I wanted to get something out because I haven't updated in such a long time...
