It was another quite day at Titans tower but no one was complaining. In fact everyone was relieved. There was no crime and they had been busy for the past few weeks, the Teen Titans were all exhausted and wanted some free time. Starfire was washing Silkie, Raven was in her room, Beastboy was in the gym (now a common place for him to be found, as he established working out in his human form was better for him in the long run) and Cyborg and Robin were in the common room.

"Yo Rob, you and Starfire doing anything today?" Cyborg asked as he got off the couch.

Robin's cheeks tinged a slight pink but he brushed it off quickly. "No, why?"

"Just wondering…" the half robot replied as he walked up to his leader. "I was thinking since there's no crime today and it's getting kinda hot, we could head down to the beach?"

"Umm...I Dunno Cye"

"Dude even Titans east are getting out in this weather, we could meet them there?" he urged.

"And how would you know that?" Robin smirked.

"Erm…uh…Bumblebee told me" Cyborg muttered, rather embarrassed.

The leader shrugged innocently. "Sure, why not, it will be good for us anyway"

"Booyah!" he cried feeling elated. "Hey! You knew they were out!"

"Yup"

"And you just wanted me to admit that I talk to bumblebee" he said irritated

"Yup" Robin said, his grin growing as he drank his coffee innocently.

Cyborg scowled at him. "You can let the rest know, I'll be in the garage" he growled and stormed off.

Robin took out his communicator and asked the other three Titans to meet him in the common room. Raven was first to enter and sat at the end of the couch, book still in hand. Starfire was next and quickly went to her boyfriend. Beastboy was the last to enter and his hair was still slightly wet from his previous shower. The changeling walked into the room and his eyes instantly stopped on Raven, a small mischievous smile quirked on his lips. Walking over to the back of the couch he leaned over resting his chin on her head and placed his hands on her shoulders. She tensed at his sudden touch before choosing to ignore him. A mixture of shock and relief washed over him as she done nothing.

"Alright everyone's here" Robin said checking over everyone, hiding his confusion at the sight of Beastboy and Raven. "Since we have a calm day Cyborg thought it would be a good idea to join Titans East at the beach." He announced. "Everyone in? Raven, Beastboy you coming?"

"Dude, this is gonna be so cool. I'm in!" Beastboy cried with excitement, his face brightening.

"Raven, what about you?" Robin asked.

"No, sorry but thanks for the offer" she said not lifting he gaze from the book.

"Rae….please come, it will be fun" Beastboy whined as he lifted himself of her.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want to spend the day sitting in the sun with a large crowd" she established, ready to leave.

"Pleaseeee…it will be fun!" he urged.

"No."

"Oh friend Raven please join us, you can do the relaxing and joining of friends" Starfire interrupted, also wanting her friend to join.

"Starfire, I don't want to" Raven said in monotone. She suddenly felt saddened emotions exhale from her friend and sighed, not wanting Starfire to be upset. "Plus my bathing suit is too small for me" She added.

"Not to worry, I have bought you a bathing suit from the mall and now you can partake in going to the beach" Starfire exclaimed proud and full of delight.

Raven supressed a groan but knew she was trapped and there was no use for an excuse. "Fine."

"Oh joy, I will bring it to your room" the alien said and flew out the room. Suddenly Beastboy began laughing.

"What the hell are you snickering about? I'm going and probably have to wear some ridiculous bathing suit chosen by Starfire."

"Exactly…and I can't…wait…to…see what…she got…you…" he cried in-between chuckles.

She groaned and got up to leave. "Don't worry it's not that bad" Robin said.

"What?" the dark sorceress asked in surprise.

"I was with her" he said slightly embarrassed. "She dragged me to the mall and we came to a reasoning as her other option was definitely not for you." Robin explained further.

"Oh, well, thanks and I'll meet you at the car in 10 minutes" Raven said slightly shocked though knew it probably wasn't for her anyway.

10 minutes later they all arrived at the car and climbed in. Raven was stuck in the middle between Starfire and Beastboy much her annoyance. The green changeling was actually decent when he was alone but extremely annoying when with everyone else.

"Raven?" asked Beastboy

"What?"

"Why is Friday the most feminine day of the week?"

"Why?" she asked not in the least bit interested.

"Because it takes forever to come" he said as he burst into laughter. Everyone was silent, Cyborg and Robin sent him silent glares as Raven prepared for Starfire's confusion. Thank fully they arrived at the beach just in time and Starfire completely forgot about the so called joke.

"We're here" Cyborg yelled over to a group on the beach. Immediately all heads turned and Kid Flash was suddenly at his side ready to help.

"Hey man, glad you guys made it." Flash said as he helped take stuff out the car. The boys struggled with the amount of beach gear and Raven's mood heightened at the view. Rolling her eyes, the beach gear hovered in a black aura and followed her as she made her way to the Titans east. "What's got her in such a bad mood?" Flash asked as they all made their way to the rest. Robin shrugged.

"Not really her scene and…" Robin said as he made sure Starfire wasn't nearby. "Starfire has gotten her a bathing suit which I doubt Raven is happy about."

"What, why?" Cyborg asked, slightly confused.

"It's a bikini."

"Oh dude, I got to see this" the half robot said, on the verge of laughter. Beastboy slightly blushed at the thought of her in a bikini but decided to change the subject. The four boys sat down and greeted the rest of Titans East; Bumblebee, Jinx, Speedy and Mas and Menos.

"Where's Aqualad?" asked Beastboy.

"Dunno, he should be here soon" Replied Speedy. As if on cue Aqualad was spotted walking up to them. The boys stared in shock as the original Titans girls practically drooled over Aqualad. Yeah, he was good looking but this was ridiculous, even Raven was staring. Jinx and Bee looked at each other grinning before laying back down to sun bathe, after all, they do live with him. Robin glowered as he watched Starfire gape at him causing Cyborg to slightly chuckle to himself at his leader's jealousy. Beastboy had the sudden urge to rip Aqualad's throat out as a wave of protectiveness washed over him. He didn't know why, but he was jealous that Raven could easily fall for him when he himself tried so hard for her approval, yet he also didn't know why. He scowled before turning away to settle down.

It had been over 3 hours and the large group of teen superhero's still weren't bored. Except for Raven. She refused to go in the water or join in any games and was now almost at the end of her book. Beastboy and the girls begged for her to join but she denied them, only coming to help referee some games after they won't stop pestering her.

"I have an amazing idea" Jinx said with a devious smile, swimming over to the group in the water.

"What is it?" asked Robin.

"Probably not good" said Speedy.

Jinx chose to ignore his comment before continuing. All eyes went wide at her idea with only one look of disapproval, Robin.

"It's a most joyous idea" Agreed Starfire.

"Yeah, Dude she totally needs to lighten up" Cyborg said with approval.

"sí, va a ser divertido" Mas and Menos said in unison. Jinx looked at the rest and got some shrugs in return.

"So, who's gonna do it?" she asked grinning. Everyone's smile faded as they stared at her blankly.

"I'll do it!" Said the Green changeling. They all looked at him with wide eyes. "What? You don't think I can? I mean she already thinks I'm annoying why not annoy her more" he explained shrugging.

"Dude, good luck and your gonna need it if you want to stay alive" Cyborg said and received a pat on the back. After a round of 'good luck' he made his way out the water over to Raven.

"Hey Rae!" he shouted walking over to her.

"What do you want Gar?" she asked.

"Was wondering if you want to go for a swim?" he asked. She looked up from her book only to be faced with his chest. His well-toned, muscular chest. 'Guess the gym sessions paid off after all' she thought. 'What the hell am I thinking?'

"No" she replied dryly.

"Well…then I guess I'm gonna have to go for my other option. Are you sure you don't want to go for a swim?" he asked again, his lips curving up slightly.

"No." she repeated. "Wait, what other opti-"But before she could finish he scooped her up flipping her on his back, causing her to drop her book, and began carrying her towards the ocean. "Beastboy put me down." She said sternly, still struggling to get out of his grasp. "Since when have you been stronger than me?" she asked, still banging on his back and kicking his chest.

"Dunno but It's coming in handy" he smirked. She glared at him but he wouldn't be intimidated, she was just too cute when she was mad. Cold water splashed on her legs as he reached the ocean. She froze. Coming to her senses she began fidgeting once more.

"Let me go" she cried once again.

"Whatever you say, princess" he said calmly and let her go.

The gothic Titan fell into the salty water, a cold blast enclosing her. Beastboy's turned to the other titans, a proud and smug look on his face. They all stared at him in shock. Glad to finally earn respect from his teammates he turned back around to where he dropped Raven. To his surprise she wasn't there. A slight rush of panic flew over him as he pondered on what to do. Before he could do anything, a large splash of water knocked him over into the water. He gasped for air as he came back up. A small smirk played on Ravens face as she watched his surprised expression.

"Now we're even" she said and turned around to swim back to shore. He stood in astonishment before a devious smile of his own plastered on his face.

"Oh no were not, you're not going anywhere" he shouted over to her.

She was in mid turn until a large green body slammed against her and arms as strong as steel wrapped around her waist. Not able to yell, her eyes widened in shock as she was being shoved underwater by Beastboy. All the titans gasped and swam over to were the two had been. They both came up gasping for air and spluttering out salt water. Raven was first to recover and used her powers to splash water over her attacker. He coughed and looked at her, an evil gleam in his eyes. Soon all the Titans were soaking wet and exhausted from play fighting in the water and sat on their towels to dry off.

"Dude, I got to say, well done" Cyborg said, walking over to sit by the changeling.

"Yeah, I honestly didn't think you would do it." Aqualad commented.

"Never knew you were actually strong." Laughed Robin.

"Well, I don't have this body for nothing" grinned Beastboy, flexing his muscles jokingly.

"Maybe you could carry me into the sea sometime" Jinx purred and ran her fingers down his arm.

"Dude, you ain't stealing my girl." Kid Flash said with a smile as he wrapped his arms around Jinx.

She snuggled into his arms and smiled, content. "I'm not going anywhere"

"Damn right you're not" he said squeezing her slightly.

"Man, you guys are worse than Star and Boy Wonder" Cyborg said, a fake look of disgust on his face. They all laughed as they looked at the blushing couple. "Hey, where's Rae?"

"Probably changing" Robin said.

"That's right, you put that girl in the water still clothed." Bumblebee added.

"Oh Crap" BB muttered and got up. "I'm gonna see if she's okay" They all nodded and he left.

He walked around to her previous spot but Raven wasn't there. Looking around there was also no sight of her. With not many options left he decided to sniff her out with his enhanced smell. Animal genetics weren't all bad. Following her scent, his favourite scent, he could tell it was altered. This time instead of it being a calming Lavender and peppermint, it was infused with the sea water making it slightly salty. After around 5 minutes of searching he found her sat at the edge of the water with her wet clothes off…in her bikini. Silently Beastboy walked over to the dark Titan and sat down.

"Hey Rae" he said, looking over at the horizon. The sun was beginning to set.

"Hello, Gar" she replied still not looking at him.

"What you doing?"

"Just calming down."

"Do you want to go back to the others?"

"No"

"Their worried about you." He said, though it wasn't entirely true. Finally looking over at her saw, the dim light was beginning to glow against her skin and face. The green titan began to look over her features; her soft parting lips, her beautiful purple eyes as they twinkled in the light, her glistening chakra and defined cheekbones, they were all perfect.

"Ok, I'll come back" she sighed and got up. Not realising his eyes followed, the green teen was staring at her beautiful pale body. He had never seen such a small, perfect and fragile frame. Suddenly he had the urge to jump her and then hold her tightly so he could feel her soft skin on his. "Gar?"

"Hmmm?" he asked, still dazed.

"Can we please go…and stop staring. Remember Starfire got me it because mine was too small." She said with a slight blush, referring to her black bikini with bright green flowers.

"Huh, oh yeah, let's go, it's just that…you're really beautiful Rae." He said getting up. They both began to walk and Raven could feel her whole body heat up at his last words.

"Ummm…Thanks" she said rather awkwardly.

"Don't mention it." He grinned causing a slight smile to curve on her lips. "You know what Rae, your my best friend and I'd do anything to make you happy"
