Chapter 4: Double Date, Double Trouble.

Beast Boy was wearing a nice white shirt and blue jeans and was walking nervously from one side of Raven's room to the other. He was thinking whether to go or not to this stupid double date, but all he could think about was: She used to have a crush on Robin. Then he only thought: Have a crush on Robin. And finally: Crush on Robin. He really hated Robin at this point. He really didn't know why, Robin hadn't done anything. But the fact that Raven noticed Robin before him made him really angry.

'I'll just tell them I can't go because I'm still sick, from all the cotton candy I ate yesterday.' He thought. He had managed to avoid both Raven and Robin thanks to that excuse (and because both Raven and Starfire had spent most of the afternoon shopping for a dress), so it would be a believable excuse.

*KNOCK KNOCK* "Beast Boy, you there?" Asked Robin from outside the room, Beast Boy screamed like a girl. "We're meeting the girls in half an hour, are you ready?"

"Umm… I still feel pretty sick, go ahead without me; if I feel better I'll meet you guys in the restaurant." He lied.

"You sure?"

"Yes, yes you go ahead."

"Okay…"

He probably should have said then and there that he wasn't going, but part of him wanted to go. After a few minutes, he's communicator beeped, it was Raven.

"Beast Boy, are you alright? Robin just told us you might not make it for dinner." She asked worried.

Beast Boy was about to tell her that he was feeling too sick to go, but she saw her on the communicator with a purple dress and the jewel he had given to her. He was hypnotized, she was beautiful.

"Is that the dress you're going to wear on the double date?" He asked.

"Yeah, I know I look ridiculous…" She answered.

"Well, you look something alright, but it's not ridiculous." Beast Boy said, making it clear he meant that she looked stunning. Raven blushed. Beast Boy, finally, made a decision "You know… I'm actually feeling a lot better. I'll see you guys at the restaurant in fifteen minutes."

And with that he turned off the communicator and headed out. While walking he tried to calm himself, if he didn't he might just punch Robin as soon as he saw him. Beast Boy had been able to take Robin's bossing around attitude because he was the leader. But now that he knew that Raven had had a crush on Robin, he didn't care if he was the leader or not.

He opened the door and saw Robin all alone in a round table with three empty seats. 'Perfect, just perfect.' He headed up to the table and seat down in front of Robin, no way was he sitting next to him. He was wearing black jeans and a red shirt, and his mask, of course.

"Hey Robin." He said in a very monotone voice.

"Hey Beast Boy, glad you could make it. Feeling better?" He asked

"Yeah, I guess." He tried to avoid looking at him. "Where are the girls?"

"They went to the bathroom a few minutes ago. Look, there they are." He said as he saw the two girls coming back from the bathroom.

"Beast Boy! I am glad you could make it in the end." Starfire said happily as she saw her green friend.

Starfire was wearing a pink dress, like the one she wore at Kitten's prom. Raven wore a purple dress and looked incredible. Starfire sat next to Robin and kissed him. Raven sat next to Beast Boy AND Robin and said: "I'm glad you could make it too." As she leaned to kiss him but Beast Boy, quickly said:

"Better not. I'm still feeling pretty bad… I don't want to contaminate you or anything." He said nervously.

"Oh, okay…" She said confused.

'I don't get it; I just rejected a kiss from Raven. If I didn't want to see her or Robin, then why am I even here?

The waiter arrived immediately and they all ordered, both Raven and Starfire asked for the fish soup, Beast Boy asked for the big salad and Robin asked for the steak, which pissed Beast Boy even more.

At first they were talking about how Starfire's and Robin's first anniversary as a couple was in a month. They had bought airplane tickets to go back to Tokyo, where they first kissed. Beast Boy liked this, anything that meant Robin going away for awhile was good news. But then, Robin started to talk about statistics and how crime rate had lowered since they stopped the Brotherhood of Evil. He was using too many technical words and both Starfire and Beast Boy changed the subject and talked about a T.V. program they both watched. However, Beast Boy noticed that Raven WAS interested in what Robin was saying, which made him even more furious (are you seeing a pattern here?).

Everybody could tell something was wrong with Beast Boy. Robin and Starfire just thought it was because of the stomach ache, but Raven thought there was something more to it. She decided however to ignore it for now.

When they finished, they paid for the dinner and headed towards the beach. There, they walked on the sand where other teenagers were drinking around a fire. They all whispered as they saw the Titans walking in front of them with normal clothe, but they just continued their romantic evening.

As they walked Robin and Starfire would stop every minute to kiss or hug, while the other couple …not so much. This made Beast Boy and Raven go well ahead from Robin and Starfire. Raven knew something was wrong with Beast Boy. At first she decided to ignore it. However, as the night progressed, she knew something important was wrong. For one, he hadn't tried any of his romantic moves. Don't get me wrong, she didn't like most of those things, but Beast Boy did and even though she didn't, that had never stopped him before. But she had to make sure her suspicions were true:

"Isn't the moon beautiful, Beast Boy?" She said putting her arm around his and looking at the moon. Beast Boy said nothing; in fact, he just kept looking on the ground, thinking about something else. "Beast Boy, I'm pregnant." She lied to see if he would at least notice her. But he didn't.

"Okay Beast Boy, what is going on?" She stopped and grabbed his arm, making sure this time she paid attention.

"Wh- what?" He's mind finally returned to Earth.

"What's wrong Beast Boy? You've been acting strange all night."

"No-nothing, I'm just a bit sick." He lied.

"You're going to lie to me? I know there's something else." She said in a serious tone. This was it; Beast Boy had to tell her now or never.

"Okay…" He took a deep breath and with a serious tone he said. "I accidently went through your mirror again."

Raven was surprised, that WAS serious: "What happened? Did you manage to leave okay?"

"Yeah, Pink Raven helped me get out…" He said. She was relieved but, 'what was the problem then?' She thought "But she also told me you used to have a crush on Robin." He finally said, again very serious.

Raven was not expecting that "What?" She reacted, the shock felt like a punch in the gut. But he didn't answer, he just looked at her, he wasn't joking around… and there was no point for her to lie either.

"Beast Boy…" She said.

"So it's true, isn't?" He asked.

"Yes, but it was a long time ago." She quickly said. She had to leave things clear. "and it was only a phase. He had helped me a lot to defeat Trigon (Raven and Garfield had agreed to avoid mentioning to their kids that Trigon was their grandfather, or that Terra had betrayed them, or other things like that) It was more of an admiration than a crush." She said nervously.

"Admiration, really? And what did you admire more his smile or his eyes?" He asked very angrily.

"He wears a mask…" She said also angrily, she didn't like the tone Beast Boy was using to talk to her.

"Not the point, Raven!"

"Okay, so I had a crush on him, so what? You haven't had crushes on other girls before me?" She was starting to get angry too.

It was a rhetorical question, obviously, so he didn't answer. Instead, he asked her another question: "When did you stop 'admiring' him?"

"Why? Does it even matter?" She asked, now she was starting to get nervous and confused as well.

"Yes, it does. Because if you stopped having a crush on him when you saw that your best friend started to go out with him, then that means I've always been your second choice!" Beast Boy shouldn't have said that, and he knew it. But he wasn't thinking straight, in fact, far from it.

"You really are THAT stupid…" Raven wasn't angry or nervous anymore. Now she was disappointed, which was even worse. "You're an idiot…"

And as chance would have it, at that point Robin and Starfire catched up with them.

"Hey, why did you two stop?" Robin asked innocently with a smile.

Beast Boy's eyes, which were fixed on Raven, went straight at 'boy wonder'. With and angry glare, he leaned forward. 'Punch him, punch him, just punch him!' he thought, but before he could make a decision a horrible ache came from his stomach, but it wasn't the cotton candy this time. Although he had felt this before, a long time ago, it was the same pain he had when he transformed… in to the Beast.

I don't know what to add to that really… Review please :D
