Yay! More feedback! This makes me veeeeerrry happy. You. Just. Don't. Know.

Thanks to both Guest, Fan Numbah 1, Sergeant Daniel, blueyzangel, and Ju5t An0th3r H3d63h06 for reviewing. Greatly appreciate it :)

Since this chapter was longer than I anticipated, Raven's birthday will be split into two chapters-this one and the next one xD

The next morning, Beast Boy and Robin were the first ones to come in the kitchen.

"Hey, dude," Beast Boy said, lowering his voice, and Robin leaned in a little to the side to listen better. "What we talked about last night...stays between us, right?"

"'Course," Robin said. "I won't tell anyone about your little crush on Ravie-poo," he teased.

"Shut up!" Beast Boy blushed, but he couldn't help but grin.

"Who's got a crush?" Cyborg asked as he came in next, Starfire and Raven at his flanks. He yawned as he made his way into the kitchen too.

"Nobody!" said Beast Boy and Robin.

Saturday went by slowly for Raven. She spent most of her time being off to herself and meditating, calming her rising nerves because of the day that followed. Her birthday. In truth, Starfire may say things, but Raven had a feeling that she had something up her sleeve. But then again, Starfire was Starfire. You couldn't blame the girl for being excited for her best friend's birthday.

The other Titans were pretty excited too. Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg would give her smiles every time she passed them, Beast Boy's being the biggest of all (which caused her heart to do a few flips). Now that she thought about it, she was a little scared. What if they got her gifts? Presents?

No doubt that Cyborg and Beast Boy might get me something stupid, Raven thought during dinner. Robin and I are the most mature out of the five of us, so I don't really have to worry about him...

And then there's Starfire...

Oh Azar, she better not get me skimpy clothing. If she does, then so help me...

It was Beast Boy's choice tonight for movie night. He had chosen a nonstop action flick, same old, same old. The seating arrangements surprised Raven by the slightest; she had been the last one to get to the couch. While Robin and Starfire were on one end of the couch, Beast Boy and Cyborg were on the other. By the time Raven came around, Starfire told Beast Boy to scoot over; during this, he had barely enough time to do what she said because Starfire had pulled Raven down next to her very abruptly.

"Ow!"

A half of Raven's body felt uneven, her left leg to be exact. She looked over and saw that her leg had been clamped down on Beast Boy's lap.

"My appologies!" Starfire appologized as Beast Boy and Raven gave her a look, Raven quickly moving her leg.

"You know she ain't sorry," muttered Cyborg, and Robin chuckled.

The movie, in Raven's opinion, was pretty boring; she sat with her arms crossed, not really paying any attention at all. Meanwhile, Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg looked pretty into it, their eyes wide as they watched a guy being thrown through a building, smashing through several windows, and amazingly able to get back on his feet. Beast Boy was into it as well, at least up until the climax of the film; his arms were resting on the back of the couch, one behind Raven's head, and the other by Cyborg's. At first, Raven thought that he was trying to make a move, but there weren't any emotions coming from him that gave proof to that. He was feeling a little bit drowsy; calm and collected.

And for Beast Boy, that was a first.

He started to nod off, his head dropping down, then popping right back up as he fought to stay awake. Eventually, his eyes won, and he drifted off into a deep sleep; in his slumbering state, subconsciously he wanted to get more comfortable and to rest his head on something softer than the edge of the couch he was currently resting his head on. His head inclined to the right, easing downward until finally he found something soft, smooth, and had an angle perfect for his head to fit in...It was pleasant, smelling like lilacs and herbal tea...

It was Raven. He knew it. He had a strong feeling that that was who he was sleeping on. He didn't care either. She was comfortable, and wasn't even pushing him away.

And she smelled wonderful.

Raven stiffened slightly at the sudden contact. Her eyes drifted down and to her left, looking at a mane of green hair, feeling it brushing against her neck. His warm breath tickled along her shoulder blade, and she fought the urge to shudder and to push him off. She was going to but...she didn't.

She just continued to stare at him, finding him more interesting than the movie itself. He looked peacefull in his sleep, no longer the thirteen year old kid she once knew. He had matured, yes, definately that. Some of the child roundness in his face was gone, replaced by stronger bone structures and higher cheekbones.

And then there were the ears.

Chicks dig the ears, he once told her...okay maybe more than once.

His left ear was in her reach. If she had reached around his neck without waking him, she could touch it of she wanted to; caress, massage...

Raven swallowed nervously. Should she do it? Should she really do it?

She did. Being careful so she won't wake him and so she wouldn't look so obvious, she slid her hand behind his neck, using the back of her hand to press against the couch in order to create space; her wrist bent and her hand curled around until her fingertips finally brushed against his ear. She extended her fingers a little more, until she got more comfortable, and started a slow rhythm of caresses along the soft skin.

I can't believe I'm doing this...she thought, but she couldn't help herself. Besides, how many times has she done this? Quite a few, on a good day-and that was rare; Raven would be reading a good book, and Beast Boy would morph into a cat and jump on her lap. He'd stay quiet and purr while she'd scratch him behind his ears and stroke his fur.

But this was a whole different situation. Beast Boy wasn't technically an animal right now.

She had to admit, it was kinda nice...

A quiet rumbling sound was now coming from Beast Boy's throat.

Is he...purring?

"Well alriiight."

Raven looked up and saw that Cyborg was grinning in her direction, wagging his eyebrows. Raven then looked the other way and saw Starfire and Robin grinning too.

Luckily it was dark enough, because her team mates would've seen their dark friend blushing.

The next morning greeted Raven with a bright ray of sunshine. The empath groaned at the light, covering her face with her hands; the light was then gone all of a sudden, making Raven raise her hands into her hair and open her eyes...

To see her friends gathered around her with big smiles on their faces, making her jump.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RAVEN!" they all chorused.

Raven groaned as she was greeted with tight hugs and kisses, not knowing whose lips were whose, whose arms were whose, because they all came very fast and abrupt. Somehow during this, they had got her to sit up. Once she had room to breathe and see, she took in the scene before her.

The four Titans were too dressed in their pajamas, each-except Cyborg-having bed hair. Raven couldn't help but noticed that Beast Boy's hair was the messiest-and the cutest-but she didn't say anything about it. She also saw that there were presents around her bed with her name on it.

On a normal day, she would've snapped at them for coming into her room without permission.

"Uh...thanks," Raven rasped, clearing her throat. Everyone continued to look at her excitedly with expectation. "I'm guessing you want me to open my presents now?"

Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy nodded rapidly with toothy grins.

"Okay..." Raven ran her fingers through her hair before raising her hands a little. "Who's up first?" she asked with unease.

Several, "ME, ME, ME"'s echoed around the room, and Raven felt her vein pulse in her forehead with annoyance.

"I shall go first!" Starfire said, pushing Cyborg and Beast Boy away, making them groan and protest. She pulled out five different boxes and seven bags from under Raven's bed to put it on top, nearly leaping into the empath's bed.

Raven's eyes widened with horror before she narrowed them at her best friend.

"Starfire..." she started slowly. "Before I open any of these...let me know now if there's anything that the boys shouldn't see."

Starfire had a guilty look on her face for a brief second, and then her face cleared out. "Do not do the worrying-your Secret of Victoria items are already in your drawer."

Raven growled as Cyborg and Robin fought back laughter with difficulty. Beast Boy's eyes had widened.

"Please, open!" Starfire urged, pushing the first box towards her.

Raven sighed. "Fine."

Starfire's presents consisted of all types of clothing, including shirts, jeans, shorts, a few skirts, vests, hats, jewelry, and several pairs of shoes in many styles that Raven had no idea what they were called. Most of the color choices were allowable-being cool colors and all-although there was an item of pink and lavendar that made Raven's eyes narrow...

Raven reached for the last bag, but Starfire snatched it away.

"What?" Raven demanded.

"This is your dress for tonight," Starfire explained, walking over to Raven's closet to hang it up. "I want it to be a surprise."

Raven sighed, and Starfire returned, resuming her spot in front of her.

"Do you not like your gifts?" Starfire asked nervously, her eyes glistening slightly with disappointment that was yet to come.

"No, uh...I do," Raven said, noticing the skeptical look on Starfire's face. "I do, really. I, uh...Thanks, Starfire."

Starfire beamed, leaping forward and hugging Raven tight.

"Oh thank you, Raven, thank you!" Starfire squealed. "I'm sooo happy now! This day is going to be glorious!"

Raven hugged her back awkwardly, and Starfire released her.

Robin stepped up next, holding out a medium sized bag to her.

"Here, Raven," he said, and Raven took it, placing it in her lap.

Raven opened it with slightly shaky fingers and looked inside. She gasped a little, pulling out a thick book entitled, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, and The Underworld Trilogy 3-pack box set.

"Wow," Raven nearly mouthed, looking up at her leader.

"I thought you might like the book..." Robin explained, running his fingers through his messy hair. "I know how you are, wanting to read the book before seeing the movie and all. And um, I'd thought you might like The Underworld series. Heard they were really good."

"Thanks, Robin," Raven said, and Robin leaned over to give her a side-hug. "Appreciate it."

"You're welcome," Robin replied with a smile.

"My turn!" Cyborg said, placing a cardboard box in front of Raven. Raven tugged it towards herself.

"Jeez, Cyborg, what is this?" Raven asked, surprised by the weight.

"You'll find out when ya open it, girl!" Cyborg said, slightly impatient.

There was tape on edges, so Raven used her fingernail to slice them open; this took a bit, but with Cyborg's impatient help, she managed to get it done. Once she was finished with that, she opened the flaps, revealing a sleek and shiny black laptop, staring right back up at her.

Raven was stunned silent.

"All the Titans have one except for you," Cyborg said. "I just had to change that of course," he added with a wink.

Raven cracked the tiniest of smiles, bringing the laptop out into the open.

"Thanks, Cyborg," she said, and Cyborg gave her a bone-crushing hug.

Everyone turned to Beast Boy. The changeling looked at Raven, who arched an eyebrow.

"Uh, yeah, I uh..." He said awkwardly. "I figured that I could give my presents to you later on," he told her.

"Presents?" Raven caught the 's'.

"Hehe...WHO WANTS WAFFLES? I'LL COOK!" Beast Boy announced, zooming out of Raven's room.

"OH NO, NOT THIS TIME!" Cyborg called as he raced after him. "WE'RE HAVING REAL WAFFLES!"

Robin and Starfire exchanged amused glances before looking at Raven.

"I guess we'll, um, leave you to freshen up I guess," said Robin, holding out his hand to Starfire. Starfire took it, and he led the way out.

"Tonight's going to be magnificent, Raven!" Starfire said right before the door closed.

"Yeah..." Raven muttered. "Magnificent."

After breakfast was over, the Titans decided to lounge around the house, just for Raven's sake. Starfire was on the phone almost all day, talking to Bumblebee and Terra.

When she called Terra, it was around three o'clock.

The thin blonde was at Starbucks in her uniform, wearing a black polo, matching skirt with black nikes, and a green apron and cap with the Starbucks logo on them; her hair was in a lazy ponytail. She had just finished writing down an order when Starfire called.

Terra answered, "Hello?"

"Hello, friend! It's great to hear your voice!"

"Oh, hey, Starfire." Terra leaned casually over the counter. "What's up?"

"Have you forgotten what today is?"

"Raven's birthday?"

"Indeed. Are you still coming?"

"Yeah, I guess. I got her present."

"Perfect! I'm sure she'll love it!"

"I'm sure she'll hate it..." Terra muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," Terra sighed.

"Terra, please do the trusting of me. We are all ready to forgive you. It's Raven's birthday. I'm sure she'll be easier on you."

Terra looked down, reaching into her pocket, and pulled out her communicator to look at it. Currently, she was an Honorary Titan, but she hadn't been up to the heroics lately.

"I don't know..." she said.

"Pleeeeease?" Starfire begged from the other end.

Terra smiled, unable to resist. If you let her, Starfire will probably come up with all types of ways to beg and pursuade you to do something. "Okay, okay. I get off at five. As soon as I get off, I'll be right over."

"Yay! Oh, and be sure to bring a dress to wear for the evening! We are to do the hair and makeup in my room at six!"

"Got it."

"Bye, Terra!"

"Bye, Star."

Terra hung up, placing her cell phone and communicator back in her pocket before walking back up to the cash register. "Next costumer, please!"

5:19 p.m.

Knock knock knock

"I'll get it!" Starfire announced, racing down towards the front door. Even all the way downstairs, her voice could be heard. "TERRA!"

"Great," Raven muttered. She, Beast Boy, Robin, and Cyborg were all sitting at the kitchen table, making small talk. Well, the boys and Starfire had been doing most of the talking.

"Hey, remember," said Robin, looking at them all, his eyes lingering on Raven's. "Be cool, alright?"

"Cool? I'm always cool," Beast Boy bragged. "I am the defintion of cool. I put the 'ool' in cool. I never loose my cool and-"

"Can't loose what you never had," Raven commented before resuming her place in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Surprisingly, it was a good read.

Beast Boy glowered at her. "Must you always do that?"

Raven hid her smirk.

The Ops doors opened, revealing the blonde and the redhead; the blonde had something green over her arm.

"Hey, guys," Terra greeted nervously as everyone stared at her.

"Terra!" Beast Boy grinned widely, hopping out of his seat. "Great to see ya!" He enveloped her in a tight hug, nearly squishing her.

Raven's vein started pulsing again.

"Great to see you too," Terra gasped, and Beast Boy chuckled before letting go of her. Beast Boy and Starfire tugged the unsure girl over to the table to properly greet everybody else.

"Hey, Terra," said Robin, holding out his hand, and Terra shook it.

"Robin," she said with a small smile, and he smiled a little in return. Cyborg extended out his fist, and Terra met his with her own with more confidence. "Cyborg."

"Nice to see ya, T," Cyborg grinned at her.

Terra took a deep breath as her blue eyes locked with a pair of purple ones.

"Raven..." she said, stepping closer to her, and Raven put her book down. Terra held out her present; it was smaller than the other gifts Raven had gotten, in a square shape. "Happy birthday."

Raven nodded meakly, taking the present from her. She unwrapped the wrapping paper slowly with hesitation. When all the scraps were gone, she was staring into Amy Lee's face. Turns out that Terra had got her all the Evanescence CDs, stuck together by a rubber band.

Raven loved Evanescence. While Starfire was really into Paramore, Raven would always listen to Amy Lee's powerful and moving soprano.

"Thanks," Raven said without looking at her. "And, um...nice to see you, I guess."

Terra nodded. She would take that. And she was glad that Raven liked her present.

5:57 p.m.

"Whaddaaaap!" Bumblebee exclaimed, coming in the Ops with non other than Aqualad at her side; Aqualad was also a member of Titans East, with Bumblebee as the leader of course. To many female friends of his, including Starfire, and even Raven, he was very good looking, sweet, charming, and determined when it came down to business. Bumblebee was taking on a new appearance, her hair now straightened and swooped just passed her shoulders; it had brown highlights in it as well, giving a nice look for her.

Beast Boy noticed Starfire-and Raven-jump up out of their seats with hearts in their eyes. He wasn't alone when his eyes narrowed; Robin's were narrowed behind his mask too. Whenever Aqualad was around, all the girls went nuts.

"How did you get in here?" Cyborg demanded playfully as the six Titans stood to greet them.

"Uh, emergency key?" Bumblebee held up a silver key, and Cyborg made a face at her, which made Bumblebee stick her tongue out at him playfully in return.

"Nice to see you guys," Aqualad said, fist bumping the boys. He turned to Starfire and Raven. "Starfire," he greeted her with a smile, taking her hand; he bent over and kissed it, making her giggle.

"Greetings, Aqualad," Starfire said dreamily, and Robin cleared his throat loudly, making her snap out of it and blush in embarrassment.

"Raven," Aqualad said, grinning at her as he did the same.

"H-Hello," Raven stammered. To her satisfaction, she felt Beast Boy's jealousy radiating off of him.

WHAT DOES HE HAVE THAT I DON'T HAVE? Beast Boy thought in a growl.

Aqualad turned to Terra, holding out his hand, his smile oh so friendly and knee-buckling. "Have we met?"

"Um, no," Terra smiled, blushing as she took his outstretched hand. "I-I'm Terra. Pleasure to meet you, Aqualad."

"The pleasure's all mine," Aqualad replied, and he rose her hand to his mouth to kiss it, making her blush deeper and giggle more. He smiled wider before releasing her hand.

She's pretty...Aqualad thought. I wonder if this is the Terra the Titans rarely talk about.

"Happy birthday, Rave," said Bumblebee, holding out a bag to her. Raven took it. "It's from all of us."

"Where's Speedy and Mas y Menos?" Robin asked her.

"Mas y Menos got a bad cold, so Speedy's being the big bro and staying behind to take care of 'em."

"How sweet of him!" said Starfire.

Raven pulled out a dark blue scented candle. She brought it up to her nose to smell it, and it was wonderful. Like mixed fruit mixed with the ocean.

"Thanks," said Raven. "I'll add it to my...collection."

"You came just in time!" Starfire grabbed Bumblebee's hand. "Come! We females must do the getting ready now!"

"Oh no..." Raven muttered, but before she could say or do anything else, Starfire was already dragging her, Bumblebee, and Terra to her room.

This left the guys alone together, and they all exchanged glances.

"Why is it that whenever you come around, you suddenly become a girlfriend stealer?" Beast Boy demanded at Aqualad.

"Since when did you get a girlfriend, BB?" Aqualad asked, now eager. "Is it Raven?"

"No! And that's not what I meant!" Beast Boy blushed, making Robin and Cyborg grin. "I-I mean I'm...just speaking up for Robin here!" He wrapped his arm around the boy wonder. "Right, Rob?" He gave him a look.

"I gotta go with Beast Boy on this one," Robin agreed.

Aqualad held up his hands. "My appologies. I'm just...just nice."

"Just nice? Just nice?" Beast Boy started walking towards him. "Lemme tell you something about being nice-"

"No you won't!" Robin and Cyborg yanked him back to stand between them, and Beast Boy started to grumble.

"You know that I would never move on a friend's girl," Aqualad said to Robin, who nodded.

"Of course he'd say that," said Cyborg. "Did ya see how he and Terra were eyeing each other?"

"Uh huuuuuh," Robin singsonged, and Beast Boy laughed.

"Preeeeach!" Beast Boy clapped and danced around as if he was in church.

Aqualad chuckled, and blush crept along his cheeks.

"Done!" Starfire announced when she was done with Terra's hair. Starfire was wearing a peach body-hugging dress that stopped a little above her knees; the sleeves were straps, criss-crossing in the back. Along with that, she wore pumps that had blue, yellow, peach, and green stripes on them. Her hair was up in a neat ponytail, her bangs swept over to the left side. Her makeup was light to match her dress, along with blue hoops for earrings.

"Thanks, Starfire," said Terra, getting up from the alien's vanity. She was wearing an emerald green, fitting one-sleeve dress, the hem stopping a little above her knees too. Her hair was in an updo; her hair swept to the left, cascading down her back and front in loose blonde ringlets. Her makeup consisted of green eye shadow, black eyeliner, and calm pink lipstick covered her lips. She also had on black heels and golden hoops.

Bumblebee was sitting on the bed, wearing a golden tube dress that wasn't as body fitting, stopping at the knees. Around the bust, the material looked like it was wrapped around a few times. Her hair was in crinkle curls, and she had on golden eyeshadow, red lipstick, and black earrings. On her feet were matching stilettos, her wrists and neck decorated beautifully with golden jewelry.

"Raven, please come out of the bathroom!" Starfire begged, knocking on the door. "I want to see how your hair and make up looks with your outfit!"

"No," Raven growled from the other side.

"If you don't, I'll tell Beast Boy your little secret..." Starfire threatened softly, and Raven heard it. The empath automatically opened the door, huffing sharply out of her mouth.

"I hate you," she deadpanned.

"No you don't!" Starfire cheered, and Raven groaned.

"How ridiculous do I look?" Raven asked Bumblebee and Terra. "Be honest."

Raven was wearing a fitted black dress, the hem riding up a few inches above her knees, almost right at her thighs. The sleeves stopped at her elbows; there were slits in them, also along her sides, stopping at her hips. Around the hem, there were two slits above it. In the back, well...the dress showed a good amount of it. The bust area was low cut enough to appreciate the round skin there. Her hair was done by Starfire herself of course; her bangs, two to be exact, framed her face. Half of her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, the rest down and flowing straight. There were black pins behind her ears to keep any free hairs in place. She had on black stud earrings, and matching black velvet ankle boots with wedged heels. Her makeup consisted of black eyeshadow and eyeliner, and clear lip gloss.

"Are you kidding? You look hot, girl!" said Bumblebee, standing up to get a good look at her. "Starfire sure does know you best. Don't you like it?"

"It looks pretty on you, Raven," Terra agreed quietly.

Raven bit her lip. Did she really look...'hot'? Attractive?

She suddenly had an urge to get down the Ops, where the boys were-and more specifically, Beast Boy-to see their reactions.

"I...guess I like it," Raven admitted, and Starfire beamed. Luckily Starfire gave me a brief walking in heels lesson earlier. "Let's just go."

The four girls exited out of Starfire's room and down to the Ops.

"Wonder what Star got Raven to wear," Robin was saying. The boys were all lounging around the couch, Beast Boy and Cyborg playing video games and Robin and Aqualad just watching.

"Lucky if she did," said Beast Boy, munching on popcorn.

"Yeah, I bet Raven will come down in some jeans and a large t-shirt," Cyborg snickered, and Robin and Aqualad chuckled with him.

"What's wrong with that?" Beast Boy said defensively, pausing the game.

"Hey, man, don't get made at me. I-"

The door slid open, revealing the four beauties, making the guys freeze all together, their mouths dropping to the floor.

"Oh..." Cyborg began.

"My..." Aqualad added.

"Fucking..." Robin continued.

"God," Beast Boy finished.

They nearly flew off the couch to get a better look as the girls stepped down. Ironically, Bumblebee ended up standing in front of Cyborg, Starfire in front of Robin, Raven in front of Beast Boy, and Terra in front of Aqualad.

"Careful, Robin," his girlfriend giggled. "Language."

"You guys look beautiful," Aqualad told them, his eyes lingering on Terra's.

"Thanks," they all said.

Beast Boy and Raven continued to stare at each other wordlessly, up until Raven tilted her head a little to the side.

"Beast Boy, you should really get your jaw off the floor."

Beast Boy snapped out of it, feeling all eyes on them now. "Heh. Sorry," he smiled sheepishly, running his fingers through the back of his hair. "You look great, Rae."

Raven blushed, looking down. The emotions that were coming from him now warmed her insides. "Thank you. Can we go now?" She added to prevent further embarrassment.

"Let's!" Starfire smiled. She leaned in and kissed Robin, gripping the front of his shirt to make it last a little longer than a peck. "We'll be back before it is too late. Maybe we can all do the hanging out?"

"Sounds...great..." Robin replied, smiling stupidly and slightly dazed from her kiss. The guys watched the girls leave.

Until Beast Boy remembered something.

"Raven! Hold on!" He disappeared for a moment before he returned, skidding to a stop in front of her.

"What now?" she deadpanned.

"Your birthday presents," he said with a grin, his hands behind his back.

"Alright..." Raven held out her hand. "Give em to me then."

Beast Boy shook his head. "Close your eyes and turn around."

"Beast Boy-"

"Please?"

Raven sighed heavilly before turning her back to him, closing her eyes. A moment of silence passed as she heard something being opened, then felt something light and slightly ticklish incircle around her neck, along with Beast Boy's fingers. Her eyes snapped open in surprise just as Starfire gasped with glee; Beast Boy was wrapping a necklace around Raven's neck, his fingers lingering in her hair once he found the clasp.

Raven looked down, looking at the pendant as she held it gently in her fingers. It was a mood ring-rather, a mood necklace, with a thin silver chain and a circle pendant to look like a ring itself; however it was flat. The shape was bigger than a mood ring, but it didn't swallow her chest either.

"Beast Boy..." Raven managed in amazement, watching Beast Boy dig in his pocket, pulling out the actual mood ring to match. She rose her hand without thinking, and Beast Boy happily slid it on her finger.

"Since your powers have to do with your moods and emotions..." Beast Boy said with a shrug, blushing a little as he explained. Robin, Cyborg, Bumblebee, Terra, and Aqualad were smiling and smirking, but no smile could out-do Starfire's. Then Beast Boy did something that surprised himself and Raven.

He kissed her cheek; it was brief, but Raven's heart jumped at the contact.

"Happy birthday, Rae," the changeling said, looking at his shoes.

Raven swallowed nervously, fighting the smile that was trying to come across her face. She only let a little come through, the smallest of smiles spreading. Taking a few steps forward, she took a gentle grasp on his chin, leaning up a little and kissed him on the cheek in return.

Beast Boy's head snapped up, shock, fascination, and awe playing across his face.

"Thank you," she told him, backing away before turning around completely. The girls were slightly squealy as they followed their dark friend out; Raven couldn't help but peek at Beast Boy a few times over her shoulder on the slick side. Beast Boy was gazing after her, his eyes half lidded with a smile on his face.

The doors closed.

"Ooooooooooh!" the boys chorused together at different speeds and octaves, ruffling Beast Boy's hair and giving him bro-hugs. The green teen blushed even deeper, and he couldn't stop smiling at all.

"Alright, guys," Robin said when the laughter and teasing died down. "The girls are gone."

"You know what that means, right?" Cyborg asked with a huge grin.

Three different sets of grins mirrored his own.

"AWWW YEEEAAAH!"

Yeeeah, BB! Get you soooooome!

Of course, that's what Cyborg would say.

AWWW! BB FEELS! RAE FEELS! BBRAE FEELS! xD

Looks like Aqualad and Terra might have a little sum-sum goin' on ;D Cy and Bee are heading in that direction too.

So the girls are out, leaving the boys at the Tower.

Oh boy...literally.

Let's see how the dinner goes with the girls...It's just Raven's birthday. What could possibly go wrong?

...I just had to say that, didn't I.

Review!
