Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans!

He everyone, guess what? I am officially done with classes and finals! Yahoo! (Ahem) Anyway, now that I'm on Summer Vacation, you can expect me to go back to my normal chapter per week.

Now then, on with the story!


Chapter 3

Raven sat in silence for a moment before shaking her head. "I will. But not until I know more about what we're dealing with."


The next day, Beast Boy groggily walked into the Common Room to make himself some breakfast, only to be surprised to find a plate of tofu waffles (as promised by Cyborg) waiting for him on the counter.

"Hey BB. Breakfast is ready." Cyborg said from in front of the stove.

Beast Boy muttered a half awake thanks to the cybernetic teen before taking the plate and sitting down at the table. He was half way finished when he looked around the room and noticed something strange. Cyborg making a giant pile of bacon and eggs? Check. Silkie sitting on the floor, munching on some weird alien food Starfire had given him? Check. Robin and Starfire making lovey-dovey eyes at each other? Double check. Raven sitting at her usual spot at the coffee table drinking tea? Not check.

"Uh, guys? Where's Raven?" Beast Boy asked after taking another bite of his tofu waffles.

"I don't know, grass stain. Have you tried her room?" Cyborg suggested through a mouth full of bacon.

Beast Boy sweat dropped. "Right. Her room." He shoveled down the rest of his waffles before running out of the room and into the hall.

Cyborg shook his head at the green changeling as he sat down at the table and went back to eating his breakfast. Next to him, Starfire was chatting excitedly with Robin about the date they were going later. But, oddly enough, Robin wasn't paying much attention. He was too busy focusing on the pictures on the fridge. Starfire noticed this and stopped talking about the date mid-sentence.

"Robin?" She asked warily. "Is something amiss? You have not spoken all morning."

The boy wonder snapped out of his trance and looked at his girlfriend. "Sorry Star, I was thinking about something."

Starfire grabbed her boyfriend's hand. "Please Robin, tell me what is the matter. I may be able to be of assistance."

Robin tightened his grip on her hand before glancing back at the photos. "It's Alistor." He admitted. "He hasn't contacted us in over two weeks. He's never gone this long before without sending word or having one of the other Titans contact us." He sighed and knit his brow together. "I'm worried something might have happened."

"Man, don't worry." Cyborg said. "He probably just forgot. We'll probably hear from his in a few days."

Robin thought about his for a moment before shaking his head and standing up. "It's better to be safe. I'll be right back, I'm going to make a few calls."


Beast Boy walked through the hall until he found himself in front of Raven's room. Taking a deep breath, he knocked on the door. After a moment of no answer, he knocked again and said, "Uh, Rae? You in there?"

There was a ruffling sound before the door opened, revealing Raven. "What?" She asked darkly.

"Uh, I was kind of wondering what you were doing." Beast Boy said nervously. "You didn't come down to breakfast so I wondered if-."

"I'm not hungry." She answered, cutting him off sharply.

Beast Boy was taken back at her tone. Taking a breath of courage, he decided to finally say what was on his mind. "What's wrong Raven? You've been acting weird lately."

"I'm fine." Raven replied icily. "I just want to be alone." She made to close the door but Beast Boy stopped her by sticking out his foot.

"No way, Raven." He said with a little anger in his voice. "Something's wrong and you're trying to deal with it by yourself again." Reaching through the door, his eyes softened as he gently grabbed Raven's hand. "You don't have to tell me what's going on." He said softly. "Just let me help."

They stood there for a moment before Raven sighed and squeezed Beast Boy's hand. "Tomorrow."

Beast Boy blinked. "Huh?" He said, clearly confused.

Raven had to resist the urge to roll her eyes. "Wait till tomorrow." She went on. "I'll explain everything then."

"Aw man!" Beast Boy groaned. "I have to wait?"

This time Raven did roll her eyes. "Just trust me."

Beast Boy sighed. "Fine."

Noting her boyfriend's acceptance, Raven let go of his hand and closed her door.

Beast Boy scratched his head in worry but shrugged it off, trusting his girlfriend. Knowing she would tell him if she needed his help, he walked down the hall intending to find a way to pass the time.


A few hours later, Beast Boy sat in the Common Room playing Mega Monkeys 5. His tongue was sticking out the side of his mouth in concentration as he rapidly hit buttons on his controller. "Come on, come on." He muttered. Then he made a mistake and his character died, causing the words 'GAME OVER' to appear on the screen. "Aw man!" He yelled. That's so unfair."

He was about to start over again when he heard a trumpet sound from somewhere behind him. He turned around to see a portal open up and Herald, Kole, and Jericho walk into the room. "Hey guys!" Beast Boy said cheerily. He jumped over the couch to stand in front of them. "What are you doing here?"

Herald shrugged. "I was just supposed to drop these two off." He said, gesturing at Jericho and Kole. "But Robin wants me to stay for a bit. He said he wanted to talk to me about something." That said, he walked out of the room, probably to go find Robin.

"O-okay." Beast Boy said with a look of confusion. Then he looked at Kole and Jericho. "So what about you two?"

Kole giggled. "We're going on a double-date with Robin and Starfire." She said with a blush.

Beast Boy raised an eyebrow and looked at Jericho. 'Starfire's idea.' He explained.

Beast Boy laughed at that, but Kole just started gushing. "Oh it's going to be so fun! First we're going to the movies and then-."

"Ugh." Beast Boy groaned. "Please don't make me listen to this again. Starfire's been going on about it all day."

Kole deflated. "Okay." But then she perked right back up and smiled at Jericho. "I'm going to go get ready with Starfire." Then with a wave, she left the two boys alone.

"Have I ever told you I'm glad me and Raven aren't like that?" Beast Boy said to the blonde musician.

Jericho gave a silent laugh. Then his face grew slightly serious as he raised an eyebrow. 'Do you know anything about what's been going on?" He signed. 'Robin's been calling all the Honorary Titans and asking about Alistor. Has something happened?'

Beast Boy shrugged, not all that worried. "Robin's worried since we haven't heard from him in a while so he's trying to find out if anyone's seen him or something." He scratched his head in thought for a moment before going on. "I think he sent Kid Flash out looking for him."

Jericho nodded his head. 'I hope he's alright.'

Beast Boy waved him off. "He's fine, dude. I'm sure we would have heard something if he got in trouble or something."

Jericho looked at him speculatively, but took his word for it. Just then, Robin, Starfire, and Kole walked into the room and joined Beast Boy and Jericho.

"Ready?" Robin asked, his hand entwined with Starfire's.

Jericho nodded his head with a smile and stood next to Kole. Beast Boy wiggled an eyebrow at the two couples. "Don't go doing anything too wild." He said with a laugh.

Kole and Jericho blushed and Starfire looked confused. Robin just rolled his eyes and said, "Come on guys, let's go." Beast Boy just kept on laughing as they left.
