I'm back and better than ever! I had to take a while to write up this nerve wracking chapter. (Nerve wracking for the characters!) I'm setting the stage for the date night, Which will be a held in the next two chapters so look forward to that! I just sat and typed up this one today for hours. Should have worked on it in bits in pieces to save me abused fingertips... I couldn't get to writing 'cause some pest in my house keeps bugging me and sending me on guilt trips. And then forcing me to drive around with her so I can't get work done! Now she made me enroll in a class so I'll have many late nights to type and appease my readers...

Oh, sorry for the whole spsheal, but I needed to vent a little... Okay I'm calm now. I need you viewers to remain faithful to the story! And like I said I'll give away a prize to whoevers comments catch my eye. The more comments you wrack up the more of a chance you have of getting my attention! But like I said, the story or subjects pertaining to the story or comments on how I'm doing will be recognized. If you are a guest then I highly advise that you make an account and leave a comment.

Okay, back to business: I own nothing that will lead leaches (lawyers) to me. Read on.

Jinx was in her room planning, but unfortunately the guys took it as a sign of her planning a new heist. They all came by her door one by one asking if she was going back to the old lifestyle. After she stated, "It's a woman thing." they left her alone. All except Kyd.

He entered her room with a wide grin, which was odd for him, but Jinx began to see it as him teasing her: 'I know' was all the grin said to her.

"Oh, come on!" I can't have a little privacy? I just want it to be special..." She started to rummage through her closet, looking for a good top. "I know it's a little much, but I like to be prepared in advance."

Kyd turned her around and lifted her cell up, 'Have you even made plans with her tonight?'
Jinx face palmed, "Crap! I knew I was forgetting something!" she was about to dial when Kyd place his hand above the keypad. "Hey!" he tapped the screen twice; she looked and saw the time: 10:25 p.m. "Oh... So it will be a late night?" she looked up with hope.

Kyd shook his head with a frown, 'No, not on your life!'

She threw up her arms in exasperation, "Come on! Pleeease?" she gave him her best pout. No one, not even Raven would have been able to resist it.

Apparently Kyd didn't get that memo. He stood there with crossed arms, 'Not budging on this one, sorry, but not really.' he tapped his foot, waiting for her to give.

She gave up with a flop on her bed, "Fine! But tomorrow will go out and there's nothing you can do to stop us!"

Kyd smirked and nodded, 'Fine by me.' he went over and tapped her flip phone once, 'Do you even have her number?'

She sat up and grinned a mischievous smile, "Yea, I gave her mine... but she doesn't know that I got hers that same night."

Kyd raised a brow, 'How?'

Her grin spread, "I got it from her pocket when we hugged after the cake. God, she'll be so surprised!"

Kyd nodded and barely contained his laughter, 'Of course.'

She looked up at her friend with a touch of concern, "What about you Kyd? Don't you get bored?"

He shrugged, 'Meh. Boredom I can handle.'

He was about to gesture to change the topic, but Jinx took his hand in her own, "I'm serious. You need to find someone to hang out with. All you do is play video games and go to your job!"

She seated him next to her on the bed and noticed the way he shifted uncomfortably, 'Not every day...' she knew it was a weak defense, but he quickly turned the tables. He portaled a poem in the room titled The Raven and gestured to the door, presumably to the other boys, 'Once they find out you're dating Raven...'

She stopped him, "I know, but that's why I told you. I can trust you..." she stopped mid sentence and stared into space.

Kyd patted her on the back, 'Don't worry!' the action spoke loud for him. She looked at him and he gave her a winning smile, 'It'll work out.' he gestured in the direction of the rest of the team with his thumb, 'If they don't accept it,' he smacked his fist against his palm, 'I'll knock some sense into them.'

She hugged him, whispering gratefully, "Thanks." she pulled back and was back in serious mode, "Alright, but you still need to get out of the house..."

He rested his head in his hand and looked to her pleadingly, 'C'mon!'

She shook her head grinning now, "No way jose! You're gonna have fun with someone while I'm on my date."

He looked to the doorway, 'Well-'

She cut off the thought with a growl, "Someone not living here!"

He slumped back on her bed eagle spread, in resignation he let out a mute sigh, 'Fine. Who'd you have in mind?'

Jinx savored the victory before replying, "Let me think... How about Wally?"

He started and looked at her as if she was crazy, 'Your ex? I don't think so.'

"Alright, bad idea." she wracked her brains for names, "Control Freak? He got out early for giving up."

He shook his head, arms forming an X, 'Hell no! I'm not that nerdy.'

Her lips twitched at a suppressed grin, "Got me on that one. Hmmm... Aqualad?"

He shifted on the bed and looked at her with a blank stare, 'No. Not that far away from you.'

She was touched by his concern, but was beginning to get annoyed, "Yeah, Steel City is a bit far... Oh!" she clapped excitedly, "I know, how 'bout Beast Boy?" she got another objection with a raised brow. "Come on!" she pleaded, "He's close, has about every movie, game, and game system ever made. It's perfect!"

He let out another objected sigh followed by a smirk, 'Not sure the rest of the Titans will be happy.'

She waved off his objection, "Raven can vouch for you. Plus it'll help that we are going straight." she giggled at that, "Well, some of us... I'm still a little crooked."

Kyd sat up and laughed in his own silent way. After the set of chuckles he nodded his assent to her, 'Alright, you win.' he pointed to her and gave a serious look, 'But so help me if I'm put away-'

She gave his shoulder a slap, "Don't worry. I'll have Raven get right on it."

He nodded and then pointed to the pile of clothes on her floor, 'Don't you need to prepare?'

She bolted over to the pile, "Aw hell! I forgot." she started rummaging through the pile and turned to notice that Kyd was still on her bed. "Get out you perv!" she threw one of her pink bras at him.

He tossed it back to her and held up in hands in surrender, 'I'm goin', I'm goin.'

She face the pile muttering, "If you're not gone when I turn back around I'm gonna-" she turned again and he was still there. "THAT'S IT!" she started to charge to her dark team mate.

He jumped, gave a flip and mock salute, 'Later.' and performed a perfect dive into an opening portal.

"YOU BETTER RUN!" she yelled at air. She looked around to make sure her wasn't making a reappearance; she even poked her head into the bathroom to be absolutely positive. She knelt down back at her pile, "I just hope she'll like what she sees." he thoughts turned sarcastic, "If she didn't like what she saw in the first place, then how'd we get her to agree to a date?" she relaxed a little at that thought, "I guess..." she grinned, "It's gonna be a wild date tomorrow night!" Her thoughts turned perverse as she mused on how to tease her little bird. "Little bird, little bird. Come out to play! So little old Jinxy can have her way!" she was determined to make sure she would press the right buttons tomorrow. Over and over and over again.

Raven sighed in relief Friday morning, when she observed Beast Boy making his way to the kitchen to make, no doubt, another tofu related meal. Starfire caught him by surprise as she gave him one of her near bone-crushing hugs, "Wondrous! You have recovered!"

The changling weakly tapped her arm, "Star... Can't. Breath!" he took a giant gulp of well needed air when the alien released him. "Whew! Yep, I'm back baby!" The others at the table smiled as he took his seat with his breakfast and morning drink; no one knew what it was with the exception of the green Titan. "So, how'd you do while I was out of it?"

Robin finished his eggs and answered, "We've had a little trouble picking up the pace, but we managed to not fall completely apart." everyone grinned at the overstatement; they didn't know how much they relied on him tell he was sick! He patted his friend on the shoulder as he went to the sink, "Good to have you back."

Cy gave Beast Boy a gentle pat on the back, "Missed ya BB!"

The green one looked up at his robotic friend, "Thank Cy. That means-"

The other Titan interrupted him with a wide grin, "Who else am I gonna beat at Mortal Combat, COD, Halo, Tekken, Need for Speed-"

BB gave his arm a whack, "Not cool dude!" the robotic Titan chuckled and they both went back to eating their breakfast a disgustingly fast speeds; apparently it was unspoken in the Bro Code to finish breakfast before your other bros.

Raven took a sip of her chamomile and nodded to their cured team mate, "Good to have you back." he only nodded as he finished his tofu eggs before Cy finished his leaning tower of waffles.

"Aw man!" Cy groaned, "Guess I'll do 'em." he went back to his waffles. Robin and Star chatted in their seats nearby.

Raven quietly chuckled, "Guess that's one question the universe conveniently answered."

Her thought turned to Jinx; the last time she saw the minx was when Beast Boy had his little 'fit' three days ago. She told the empath she would call, but even after all the distracting thoughts that Jinx led Raven to the empath realized one thing, Jinx didn't have her number! She was wondering how she would call, but not necessarily when.

Her cell rang, very few had her number and even fewer knew she had a cell phone; Cy had built them all cells for under cover uses. He even programmed contacts to the whole team, under different names, the works. Some of the team added new contacts, but no one expected Raven to have anyone other than the team on her list. They all looked at her with confusion. She flipped open the offending device and it ceased ringing, she read the text: Hi. Srry, but had 2 make plans b4 I got to you! This made the empaths' brow rise in slight surprise; she thought Jinx didn't plan. She seemed more like the type to play with a ball of string till it unraveled and made a huge mess! She continued to read the message, I know wat we r doin' 2night! Be ready and sexy by 7 p.m. I've also got a little surprise for Wild Man! Meet me at the park. You remember? The one u dropped us off in last time? It's called Geiss park or somthin'... Catch ya later... My Pretty! She tried not to blush as she closed the phone and mulled over it's contents, "Guess that's another point for the universe." she mused.

A slight cough interrupted her thoughts. She looked up to see the eager faces on her team mates; they finally had some dirt on her! Or so they thought, "Who was it?" the Boy Wonder asked as he sipped his coffee.

Beast Boy raised a brow and she could easily sense his front most thoughts, "You gave her your number and you didn't put it on vibrate?"

She answered his unspoken question, while ignoring her leader, "First off, no I didn't!" he shook his head, as the evidence proved otherwise. "I'm serious." he shrugged as she turned to the alien "Secondly, Star, we need to do a little shopping."

Star clapped her hands in eagerness, "A joyous occasion! We shall splurge at the Mall of Shopping?" Raven nodded the affirmative, "Yes! I shall go prepare." she whizzed on out through the doors and to her room to get into 'human clothing'.

Robin tried again as he set down his Cup of Joe, "Who was it?" the empath could feel the curiosity eating away at him; meanwhile Cy was finishing his waffles, but all she sensed from him happiness for her. Robin brought her attention back, "Do you need any help?"

She stood up as she replied, "Not from you boys, it's a girl thing."

Robin tried to protest, "But-"

"Dude," the changling cut him off with a pointed fork, "you never ask about 'girl things'. Ever."

Cy nodded from the sink, "Yeah, you should know that by now."

Raven smirked at her leaders confusion, "Well, if you're not uncomfortable with it..."

Robins' masked eyed widened, "N-No! Have fun!"

She flipped her phone to erase the text, "Good answer." she closed it and tossed it to her green friend who caught it. "This concerns you too. Call the number, you'll know which one, and make arrangements." She walked towards the hall doors that Star went through moments ago, stopped and turned to the other two, "Oh, if you two try to get any info from him or the phone... Well, hell hath no fury like a women scorned." She watched their eyes widen in fear. "But ponder this; if you anger a women she'll scar you for life. If you anger a half demon woman, well I'm sure you get the picture." She turned her gaze to the green one, "And you remember that offer in the car? That's still up." She left the three frightened men to ponder her words.

Once some of the fear left them Robin faced the youngest Titan, "What was the offer from the car?"

Beast Boy shivered as he clutched the phone, "I don't want to be the first color appropriate human vegetable."

Cy pieced it together and shook his head in sympathy, "Man, I don't wanna cross her... But I want to know whats going on. BB, can you tell us anything? Even a small part? Something you didn't promise to keep shut about?"

The young Titan shook his head, "You heard her dude, I can't do that. 'Sides, I got a call to make." he made for the hallway to his room.

Robin stopped him and crossed his arms as the changling shuffled uncomfortably, "At least tell us who she wants you to call." if Robin pressed he could order him to rat on her, but the empaths' trust was hard to earn back... that and nobody knew what she would do if she found out about the situation.

Beast Boy looked into the mask of his leader with a little confidence, "Sorry, but I can't do that either."

Robin tried to reason with him, "C'mon! You know that Cyborg is just gonna listen in through the walls... Right?" he turned to the cybernetic Titan.

He held his hand us in denial, "No! I'm dying to know what Rae has goin' on... But I don't want to be on her bad side. I say we leave it alone."

Robin was getting desperate now, "Maybe we could tail her-"

He was interrupted by the green ones' laughter, "Really? Tail her? She's an empath and a mind reader! She'll see you coming from like ten miles away!"

"But what if she's in danger? That text could have been a threat!"

Beast Boy walked past Robin and waved his concern away, "I know that's not it!" he turned to grin before he went through the doors, "If anyone's in trouble it's the one who called." and with that he was off to his room to make the call to the mysterious enigma.

Cy slumped onto the couch and picked up a 360 controller, "Don't worry! I'm sure we can all relax. This will just blow over.

Robin followed his suit onto the couch beside him, picking up the other controller, "I hope so..."

Cy grinned good naturally, "That's it! Now actually try to win against me... And for the love of god, STOP CHOOSING SCORPION!"

Robin laughed, "Make me... Johnny Cage.

Cy was fuming now, "Oh, it's on!"

Her phone rang. "That was a bit slow." her thoughts rang pessimistically. Jinx picked it up as she looked across her clothes strewn room, she answered on speaker, "Go for Jinxy." She heard a laugh from the other end, "Wait... Raven almost never laughs!" "Who is this?"

"It's me, Beast Boy."

"Oh."

"What? No 'hi, hows it going?'"

She faltered, "Sorry... Hi-"

"Too late."

She remembered using those same lines on him a few days ago and rolled her eyes, "Very original." she tossed the phone on her bed as she scanned the room for something to wear. "So, you all better?"

"Yep... Sorry you had to see that. I hope I didn't, you know, hurt-"

She interrupted him with a scoff, "You? Hurt me? Please!"

She heard him sigh in relief, then a slight chuckle, "Yeah... Anyway, Rae said I need to make arrangements with you... What's that mean?"

Jinx smiled as she spotted the perfect undergarment underneath a sweater; she retrieved the items as she replied, "Ah, yes. Well, I need you to hang out with Kyd."

"Kay, when and where?"

She glanced over at her phone incredulously as she held up a pink and red stripped top over her. "What? That's it? No questions or demands?"

She almost could see his face as he spoke his gratitude to her, "Dude, you and Raven helped me out while I was messed up! I owe you both... Although Raven is calling in more favors from me than you are. But I won't blab to anybody 'bout you two." he sighed, "And if I've gotta have a guest over at the Tower... Well that's a small price to pay."

She was flattered by the generosity of the green teen, "Well, Kyd just needs to get out ya know? Meet new people and all that jazz."

"Ah, now that I can do!"

She turned and observed how a pair of pants made her look in her long mirror, "Knew I could count on you Wild Man."

he chuckled, "Loving that name!" his voice turned serious, but Jinx could tell he was joking... at least a little. "But I warn you! To mold this young, new mind, he will need to be destroyed!"

She faked shock, "No! Kyd is great just the way he is!"

Beast Boy gave an evil maniacal laugh, "Dark and silent? Please! We already have one of those! I will destroy him and create a new, greater, Kyd Wykkyd!"

She gave a twirl in a one piece dress, "Nah, a bit much." "Don't take him to much out of his comfort zone... he's not very social."

she imagined him waving his arm at her concern, "Don't worry. We'll just have an all-nighter in the Tower."

She set the dress on her bed and bent to get some socks, "That sounds about the most fun Kyd is willing to go for."

"Perfect! But What should I tell the rest of the team?"

"He's a hardcore gamer and you invited him over? I don't know! Just make it up!"

"I'm no good at that."

She groaned in exasperation as she looked for her stylish platform boots, "Have Rae help you out there." she learned that, even though she was a good guy, Raven was a master at giving the truth without revealing it as a whole.

"Good idea, but is Kyd gonna come in costume?"

She reached for her shoes in the back of the closet, "Why? Don't you all wear your uniforms twenty-four seven?" she wanted to tease the young teen.

He snorted, "No! Only Robin has that obsession... Can't count Cy 'cause his is a part of his body."

She set the boots at the foot of her bed, "Can't argue there... And no, Kyd has casual clothes to."

She could almost imagine his arms raised up in his own defense, "Hey! I don't know the guy! All I know is that he's quiet and... uh... Well, I think he likes video games."

Jinx groaned in exasperation, "Brilliant Sherlock."

"It's not my fault I haven't spoken two words to the guy!"

"Different topic, How's our little birdie doing?"

He coughed, "She's um... Getting ready."

She stepped in her closet to pull a light pink sundress down, "It's summer after all." "How?"

She could almost detect the smirk in his voice, "Don't ask, don't tell."

She groaned, "Who'd you steal that one from?"

"Robin."

She laughed as she held up the dress, "Nope. A little much for what I got planned." "Who knew Bird Boy had a sense of humor?"

"Tell me about it." she sighed in frustration. "Trouble?"

She rubbed her temples. "You've no idea. I have to go, I really need to find something to wear!"

"I'll leave you to it."

"Kyd will be in your living room at seven for your all-nighter."

"Kay, gotta get ready for that. Later."

The phone gave a click as it was disconnected. Jinx looked around desperately for something to wear. All she was certain of was her favored lingerie and the platform shoes. She glance at her alarm clock, "11:27." she muttered. "Screw it! I'll go there and get lunch while I'm at it." She dressed as she thought of the stores she'd opt to at the mall. She wanted to be casual, but nothing that screamed, 'date'. Sure, it was a date, but Jinx wanted to look good in the casual clothes that her plans demanded of the pair. "I just hope I'm ready in time..."

Little did she know that her vagueness at the mention of 'plans' to a certain bird would lead to complications for the other woman. What caused this stress? A certain pink haired minx, that's who! Sometimes surprises can cause both parties anxiety.

Raven sighed in annoyance as she was dragged throughout the mall by Starfire. "Slow down!" the empath demanded. "I haven't even told you what I needed yet!"

Star slowed and looked to the dark Titan; both were dressed in jeans, sneakers, and plain white shirts. "What is it you need friend Raven?"

The empath looked around for a store that would appeal, even slightly to her desired tastes, "Clothes."

Star nodded with a knowing smile, "I see."

The empath was to distracted to detect the emotions or surface thoughts of her friend. "Yes... Something that's casual, but makes me look..."

"Desirable?" offered the alien.

Raven nodded as she took to the nearest store, "Yeah, something like that."

Star followed, "Is your date trying to pick out a similar style?"

Raven nodded, "Yeah- Wait!" she turned quickly to star, bug eyed at her seemingly ignorant friend. "H-How?" was all she managed to stammer.

Star giggled, "I was a princess on my planet. Politics require all royals to look at every possibility of any situation... This seemed the most likely by your actions at breakfast earlier."

Raven was shocked that she overlooked her lineage, "Star-"

Her friend gave her a quick, soft, hug, "Don't worry. Everything at the Mall of Shopping today is strictly under 'girl talk'."

Raven smiled, she knew the boys would never question anything filed under 'girl talk'. "Thank you Star."

They released from the embrace and proceeded to the chosen store, "You are most welcome... but you will tell me about this date later, yes?"

Raven was a little uneasy, "Star-"

"That will remain under 'girl talk' as well." she reassured her nervous friend.

Raven relaxed, "Thanks; and I will... when I'm up to it." she turned serious as she gazed at the rows of clothing. "Now, could you please help me out? I have no clue what I'm doing."

Star pulled her into a slightly opened space and gazed up and down Ravens frame for a few minutes. She grabbed the empaths' wrist and led her to a back corner of the store.

She sighed internally, "Why does the only other girl I know have to be an alien? And why did I ask her for fashion advice?!"

Raven didn't expect an answer, but got one, a bubbly one. "You know you need the help girl!"

Raven snapped at the emotion, "Alright! I need help, but she's an alien! She's just getting used to Earth culture; I shouldn't expect her to know about fashion."

Love interceded, "From the looks of it, that girl is a natural."

"What?" she turned to see her friend picking out a few outfits. And even Raven had to admit that they were exactly right for the occasion, Love agreed, "Not overdressed and at the same time not to casual. Those clothes would go great with the occasion of a date, but are also within your comfort zone."

Raven grudgingly agreed, "Yeah..." Raven observed as Star pulled down a black pair of jeans and a light purple half sleeve. "That's almost perfect!" Star put the clothes back and smiled at the empath. Almost as if she could read her mind and emotions. Star turned her attention back to the rack.

Love stirred, "Hm? What could that be?"

Raven directed her attention to the emotion, "What is it Love?"

Love paused before she answered, "Oh... nothing."

Raven was still suspicious, but luckily the emotion was saved by Star, "Friend Raven! Come, I found several for you to try and wear!" She pulled Raven by the wrist and out of her thoughts.

Unbeknownst to them, the one Love sensed was currently running her pink headed self to the other end of the mall. Luckily she wore her converse.

Beast Boy went out to the living room to see Johnny Cage get ripped in half and eaten by Scorpion. He winced in sympathy, "Brutal."

The other two turned to him, "Hey BB." said the loser. "Got all the 'arrangements' done?"

the green one nodded, "Yep."

"Cool." the two turned back to the screen, "Rematch, and this time, DON'T PICK-"

"Scorpion." the game stated coldly.

"Grrr... I swear you just pick him to annoy me!"

The changling interrupted before a fight could break out, "Hey Cy... How stocked are we?"

The robotic Titan knew he was referring to the fridge, "We can last a few more days."

"We're gonna need a lot more to pull it off." he crossed over to stand behind the two, leaning against the sofa.

They both were curious and turned to the green one, "Pull what off?" inquired the leader.

He grinned, "All. Nighter."

They both looked to the changling as if he'd gone insane. "Uh... BB." Cy scratched his head. "That's... THE GREATEST IDEA YOU'VE EVER HAD. Come here!" he gave his good friend a noggie.

As he got out of the robotic mans grip their leader spoke with pessimism "What about calls? If we don't get sleep, then we can't fight well."

Beast Boy rubbed his palms with eagerness, "Leave that to me."

Cy gave a whoop, "Alright y'all! How we gonna do this?"

BB was on it, "We need to go and get supplies... for four."

Cy was a little confused, "Four? Star playing too?"

BB shook his head, "Dude, nine stomachs! Do the math. I invited someone else."

Robin launched himself from the couch, "Who?"

"It's a surprise."

Robin raised a masked brow in question, "You invited someone to the Tower and won't tell us who it is?"

Beast Boy turned to walk to the garage as the others followed, "You already know him. He's supposed to be a hardcore gamer."

They got into the elevator and descended, "It's not Control Freak is it? Cause I don't want-"

"No." the green Titan assured his robotic friend, "It's not him."

They arrived at the garage and walked towards the car, "Then who is it?" Robins' questions were starting to get old.

BB got in the car followed by the other two, "You'll see." he said sagely, "He'll be here at seven. He whistled a tune in the back.

"I need to know who's coming!" demanded the Titans leader.

"Rae can vouch for the guy." he continued whistling as Cy drove out of the tunnel and into the city.

Robin flipped open his comm, "Raven?"

Static, then her face appeared on screen, "Yes? Is it life or death?"

He could hear Star singing in the background, "Beast Boy invited someone to the Tower after those 'arrangements' were made... Do you know anything about this?"

She nodded, "Yes."

"Do you know who he invited? He said you can vouch for him."

She raised a brow in what was thought to be question, but was really surprise, "Oh? Well then, everything is settled. Yes, his friend is alright... just don't make him uncomfortable." she turned to look at something off screen, "Oh gods! Raven out!" the screen went blank as Robin closed his communicator.

He turned to look at Beast Boy, who was grinning victoriously. "Shut up." he muttered as he turned back.

Beast Boy continued to grin as they neared Super Shopper, "Didn't say a word dude."

"Please! You can't do this!" the young brown-eyed woman pleaded.

"I can and I will!" the feline retorted, "I call on-"

"NOOO!"

Jinx continued without remorse,pointing to her, "Chick code, Article 44: those who are owed multiple favors by other 'chick' friends may call on this for demanded help in a dress code emergency!"

The brunette gasped, "Jen! You should have said something!" She got up and paced, "Oh, this won't do... Not at all!"

Jinx walked up to her friend and waved her hand in front of said girls face, "Shelah? C'mon, snap out of it girl!"

Shelah snapped out of her panicked daze, "Your right." she grinned, "So, who's the lucky man?"

Jinx put a hand on her hip with a pout on her face, "Who said this was cause of a guy?"

"Oh!" exclaimed her friend, "Me-eow!" a few people going by the aisle they were standing in gave them odd looks. Some wondered if the help was allowed to be this way to customers. "Thata girl!" she hugged Jinx a little to friendly for the felines' liking. Shelah purred in her ear, "I shoulda made the first move when I had the chance."

Jinx pulled back, "Shelah!" she looked at the face of her friend. He very cute friend who- "Stop it." she berated herself, "You have Raven to look forward to... don't screw this chance up!"

"Oh come on!" her friend pleaded, "That was past; 'sides, I got me self a man now."

"Ugh." Jinx looked away in slight disgust. "No thanks! Snips, snails, and puppy dog tails... no sir!"

Shelah nodded with a knowing grin, "Right, you prefer sugar, spice, and everything nice!"

Jinx shook her head, "No, it's not just that... Guys have..."

They both grinned and in unison, "Dangling parts!" they both burst into a fit of giggles then.

Once they stopped Shelah looped her arm through Jinxs' and led her to another part of the store, "Right, you asked and it's my duty to help another 'chick' in need." she started to shift through the clothing, "Hey Jen?"

Jinx leaned back against the opposite wall, "Hmm?"

Shelah turned to give her friend a worried look, "How'd you know this one is different? She could be, ya know, 'experimenting' with her preferences."

Jinx shook her head, "Nope, she's different. She is a little confused, but she'll figure out what she wants... sooner or later."

Shelah placed a concerned hand on her friends shoulder, "I just don't want to see you hurt, yea?"

Jinx grasped Shelahs' hand between her own, "Don't worry." she grinned, "I'll be alright. I always am."

Shelah dropped her hand and turned to the rack, occasionally flinging clothes back at the feline, "Right! I'll make sure that lucky bird'll never leave the moment she sees you tonight!"

The clock struck seven and all was prepared in the living room. Cy and Robin were finally having that rematch, "NO, YOU GET OVER HERE YOU MASKED- GAH!"

"Scorpion wins." the game mercilessly stated.

BB looked at the clock from his position on the couch. "It's about time!" someone had appeared behind the couch.

Robin and Cy started, they hadn't heard the signs of anyone entering. They stood and turned to see a skinny, but built, dark haired teen. He wore jeans sunglasses, and a shirt with a control that had text above reading: If this shirt isn't sweaty then I'm not gaming hard enough! His hair reached down to his upper back and was a naturally slightly spiky. "Soo..." started Robin, he wanted to get straight to the point, "Who are you?" the teen with shades shrugged and looked around slightly.

Beast Boy surprisingly got the unspoken message and led the way to the buffet table, "Grub's right here." the spread would have made a famished person immediately full just by giving it a glance. It consisted of every junk food known to man, most Earth animals, several alien planets, and a now extinct race that oddly were the space version of tofu. "Dig in." said the changling while he popped open a can of Venom. "Oh man!" he stared at the can in appreciation, "That's the stuff!"

Their guest was serving himself some tameranian dish, "No don eat-" Robin was cut off by a satisfied belch, "that." Almost no one could digest the gelatin Star made. No regular person anyway.

The robotic teen slapped his head as he finally recognized their guest, "Hey, aren't you-"

He was cut off by their guests' affirmative in the form of a nod. 'Yep.'

Recognition began to dawn on Robin as well; it was only a matter of time.

Three.

Two.

One.

"What?" Cy shook his head as he grinned and BB continued to chug down his drink. Their guest nodded. "What?!" BB was beside himself and their guest started to grin. "WHAT?!"

Jinx was really nervous. She paced a small portion of the path as she waited for her date. Shelah had chosen well and with haste, considering the occasion which the outfit would be used. She picked out a cotton candy pink skirt for Jinx paired with black stockings, (she didn't mind showing off!) and a black with pink striped half sleeve top; "She even straightened my hair." she thought with appreciation. She donned her underclothing and footwear she picked out earlier to piece it together. She even threw in a bonus; a black silk choker necklace with a ruby imbedded in it! A shower before she dressed and and an hour of applying make up had prepared her for this moment.

Her hair tickled her mid-back; she gave a squeal of joy when a dark portal opened. And out walked the most ravishing creature Jinx had ever laid eyes on. She gasped in awe, it was as if a goddess stood before her! She gave the beautiful one the standard once over; black shoes with ΒΌ of an inch heel, black tights, dark buttoned skirt, purple half sleeve top, and a dazzling small blood red gemstone on a necklace similar to the felines!

Oh, god. If Raven didn't fall for Jinx then Jinx would fall for her! Raven shifted in front of her gaze, "I hope I'm not overdressed."

Jinx continued to stare, "Um... Huh?"

Raven gained a little confidence back, "Articulate as ever, I see."

Jinx shook her head from the dark, dirty thoughts her poisoned mind had been concocting. "No, you're good... Really good... I um..."

Raven smiled, happy to know she wasn't the only one nervous about the night to come. "You look marvelous as well. So good in fact, that it should be illegal."

Jinx was a little taken aback by the move; Raven never made the first move. The feline stepped up her game as she approached the empath, "Well if there's one thing I'm good at doing," she leaned in close, her breath on Ravens' ear caused said girl to shiver as unknown sensations wracked her body, "it's being bad."

Jinx turned and took her dates arm leading her from the park, "Where to?" the empath asked.

The question was delayed by a peck on her cheek. She asked with a raised brow and the feline caved, "We're starting off with an old classic: the movies!"

Raven had not been to a theater for a while, so she had no idea what was playing, "Anything good?"

Jinx was getting excited, judging by they way her pace picked up. "Yep. One movie I know you'll love!"

She had to know now, "What?"

Jinx giggled, "The Dark Knight Rises!"

Raven didn't miss the joke, "They made a movie franchise around him?"

Jinx continued to lead the empath as she giggled, "I couldn't believe it either! The last two were so good! But I don't think the Bat really signed off on it... People just did it."

Raven leaned towards her and sighed in contentment as they rounded the corner, "That's all everyone's doing nowadays... I like it though."

Jinx turned and lightly brushed her lips with her own, muttering against them, "Then I'll get you to love it." they embraced and deepened the moment before separating with gasps for air. They were both blushing, but holding wide grins as they acquired the tickets.

Love commented, "Are you still unsure about what you want now?"

"Can it." Raven cut the connection and wrapped her arm around the felines shoulders as they walked into the dark theater, just enjoying the feeling of one another.
