OMG, thank you guys so much for following this story and adding it to faves!

Thanks to blueyzangel, Ju5t An0th3r H3d63h06, and betweenraindrops especially for reviewing twice :)

And now here's part two of Raven's birthday. Hope ya like :)

Oh, and don't forget to review! *cough* FabulousRoss *cough, cough*

xD

A/N: Recently, I have fallen in love with another OTP-Jerikole. You know, Jericho and Kole. OMG-I just HAD to do my research on why Jericho couldn't talk. Poor thing...and I had no idea that he was Slade's son. I mean, look at him!

So, slight spoiler alert, within the next chapter or so, Titans East is gonna throw a party, and all the Teen Titans are invited.

And if you're wondering about the 'What could possibly go wrong' thing, I'm telling you now that nothing bad is gonna happen in this chappie...I think. xD Don't worry, though. The action sequences will be coming soon as well. What's a Teen Titans story without action in it? They are heroes, aren't they?

Moving on...

And as for the mood ring and necklace that BB gave Rae...I'm gonna be looking at a reference for the colors and moods. Many on Google images are different, and only a few are similar, so just bear with me ^.^

An0th3r H3d63h06, it depends on the chapter, to answer your question. But I normally range from 2,000 to 5,000. I try not to make them too long. However, I'm actually one of those readers who will read a 9,000-10,000 chappie, if it's good enough xD

The girls piled in Bumblebee's car-it looked brand new and had sleek black and yellow designs on it, with black leather interior; Bumblebee and Terra in the front seat, and Starfire and Raven in the backseat.

As they rolled out of the Titans' garage, Bumblebee spoke up.

"So, Raven..." she said. "You like Beast Boy's presents?"

"I can tell she really liked it," Terra giggled.

"Loved!" Starfire cheered. "Did you not see the way he was looking at her after she kissed his cheek?"

"And when he kissed her!"

"X'hal, if that was me and boyfriend Robin, I would've done the freaking out!"

"I swear, they're gonna go out soon!"

"I'm still here..." Raven grumbled. She looked down in her lap, embarrassed. She had a feeling that this night was only gonna get worse; there's no escaping girl talk now.

Her necklace and ring looked like they started to change color in the very dim car. Raven looked closer at her ring, trying to be unnoticable, and saw that the colors were amber and grey...almost a mixture of both.

I wonder if these came with a color card, Raven thought in a monotone. She tried not to listen to her friends talk about her and Beast Boy as if she wasn't there. She almost wished that she was home...and where home was...

Was where Beast Boy was.

The sooner we get this night over with, the better.

"BB and Raven, sittin' in a tree," Cyborg sang. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G-"

"Shut up, Cy!" Beast Boy remarked. He just wouldn't let that go! he thought.

"Oh, c'mon, Cyborg's just playing," Aqualad said while patting the changeling on the back.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it after a while," Robin added. "When Star and I got together, Cyborg kept at it until I added extra time to his training."

Beast Boy chuckled. The four of them had decided to hang out in the garage, right after the girls left. Cyborg was working on the T-Car, the doors open, and the radio playing songs with strong base beats that nearly vibrated the floor. Robin was giving his R-cycle a new paint job, to go better with his new costume, and a few upgrades with the help of Cyborg. Beast Boy and Aqualad were sitting in the front seats of the T-Car, not really doing much except for the occasional conversation and bobbing their heads to the beats.

"You just haaaad to say sum, didn't you?" Cyborg frowned at his leader.

"If Beast Boy asked me to, then I'd do the same to you," Robin told him with a grin.

Cyborg gasped. "You wouldn't."

Robin's eyes narrowed, his grin turning into a playful smirk instead. "Oh, I would."

Beast Boy smiled.

"Hey, BB, turn the volume down!" Cyborg told him, and Beast Boy did what he was told. "Let's talk man-to-man-to-man-to-man...-to-man for a sec."

"Uh oh," said Beast Boy, hopping out the car with Aqualad. "What's this about?"

"You know what this is about," Cyborg said, closing the front trunk. Beast Boy hopped on top of it. "Or, who this is about anyway."

Beast Boy's heartbeat started to accelerate. "I don't know, dude."

"Hmm...does a seventeen year old, grey skinned and purple haired half-demon ring a bell?"

"Don't talk about Raven like that-it sounds rude when you describe her that way!"

"Bingo," said Cyborg.

Beast Boy blushed feverishly, scratching the back of his head. I'm such an idiot. Why did I have to say her name outloud?

"We're heading in that direction, huh?" Beast Boy said, and the boys nodded.

"What you told me the other night was the basics," said Robin, now sitting next to Beast Boy. When he saw the look on his face, he continued, "Don't worry, what is said in this garage stays in this garage. Just tell us what you really think about her."

"What I really think about Raven?" Beast Boy clarified, and Robin nodded, crossing his arms casually. "Hmm...Ah," he rubbed his chin a few times, feeling incredibly awkward. He knew he was going to sound stupid for saying this but-"I think that...it's cool that, um...she can move stuff...you know, with her mind and...the amount of self-control she has that I don't and, uh...how she can do her creepy soul thingy by turning into a raven and do her thing with the bad guys during battle..."

Robin rolled his hand in semi-circles a few times in a 'keep going' gesture. The boy wonder almost smiled; he remembered when the Titans were stranded on that planet some years ago, and he was put into the same awkward position by Starfire when she asked him what he thought about her.

And he had been so close to telling her how he really felt when they were rudely interrupted.

'Guess me and Beast Boy have a lot more in common than I thought, Robin thought to himself. We both aren't very good with expressing feelings...But when you're in a relationship with Starfire, you kinda learn how to...express your feelings more...

Raven is Starfire's polar opposite. Ha. Good luck with that one, BB...

But she is still a female...

"I like how she's, uh, not like other girls...Yeah. She's, ah...she's...um, a challenge. I like that about her..." Beast Boy was saying. "And sometimes her sarcasm is funny...She has dry humor. That's cool, I...uh...guess. I mean, that's my opinion..."

"Let me ask you something," Cyborg interjected during Beast Boy's fumbling silence. "What's the difference between Raven and Terra?"

There it was. The moment of truth. The one question that no one dared to ask Beast Boy.

"The difference...between Raven...and Terra..." Beast Boy had to think for a moment before he continued. "is that...Terra...was more of...a puppy love phase, I guess? I mean, we had so much in common so I just went for it, y'know? The feelings I felt for her was great...at the time...

"But with Raven..." Beast Boy rubbed his chin again in more thought. Something deep inside him, something that only came out when Raven was in grave danger, gave out a protective growl. "With Raven, I...it's different. There's a stronger feeling there...like, my heart is suffocating. I get that tight feeling whenever I'm near her or when she enters the room...

"And when we're on a mission or something...and I see her get hurt...I just...-I almost loose it. I try my best to control...the..." Beast Boy swallowed nervously.

"The what?" Aqualad asked curiously.

"An incident happened a few years back," Robin explained. "Beast Boy started to behave in a rude, suspicious manner-not like himself. He'd eat meat, and work out more than usual, taking his anger out on my punching bag-" His eyes narrowed at Beast Boy, who gave a nervous smile back in return. "Anyway, one night, Raven was attacked and taken away. We all thought that it was Beast Boy because..when we found him...she was in his teeth unconscious. But in reality, he was saving her from this thing that he could also turn into."

"Which was?"

"The Beast," Beast Boy answered gravely. "He's like my...weakness in a way. And he only comes out when Raven's life is in jeapordy. That never happened with Terra. Never. Cyborg gave me a cure, but that still doesn't stop him from coming out."

"What does he look like?"

"Pretty much like a...big wolf. Like a werewolf...sorta."

"But scarier," Robin added.

"That's some scary ass shit," Cyborg agreed.

"Gee thanks," Beast Boy deadpanned.

Cyborg grinned. "You're sounding like Raven already. We already know that's a sign."

"A sign of what?"

"That you're in love with her, grass stain!"

Beast Boy sighed. "Maybe I am..." He ran his fingers through his hair. "That would explain so much..." His head snapped up, remembering something. "Hey, remember that day when we all switched powers?"

Robin chuckled. "Oh yeah...I got Star's powers, who got Cyborg's, who got Beast Boy's, who got Raven's, who got mine...Well, I don't have powers, but you get the point. Mask and all."

"Seriously?" Aqualad said. "Where was I during all of this?"

Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin laughed.

"What about it, B?" Cyborg asked him.

"I never fully understood Raven until then," Beast Boy explained. "Now I get why she has to be alone and meditate everyday. It makes her feel uneasy. It's just something she has to do."

"But wasn't your mantra, 'Tofu, Gamestation, Terra?"

Beast Boy smirked. "Well, yeah, back when I still sorta had a thing for her. Now it's, 'Tofu, 360, Raven'. But even I don't meditate like she does."

"Starfire says it's 'glorious', " Robin said, bringing his voice up higher octaves to do his immitation of Starfire-and it was pretty impressive. "'Such a wonderful time to be in peace and tranquility!'"

The boys laughed.

But then it got serious again after about a minute.

"You know, Rob...some advice would be nice..." Beast Boy admitted.

"About?" Robin asked.

"Everything! I don't know what to do with Raven! I'm not a psychiatrist!"

"Don't you mean...?" Cyborg started.

"Nevermind, nevermind!"

"Easy, calm down," Robin said. "I know you're nervous, and I've gone through what you're currently going through. I know you're gonna hate me for telling you this, but just tell her how you feel."

"Tell her how I feel?" Beast Boy echoed, his voice almost deadpanning again. "Tell her how I feel? Really, Robin? Really? Did you think I didn't already know that?"

Robin sighed.

Beast Boy turned to Aqualad. "What do you suggest I do, lover boy?"

Aqualad, amused, rolled his eyes. "Well, if I were you, I wouldn't just jump out and say, 'Hey, Raven! How's it goin'? I'm in love with you! Yeah, funny story...', y'know? A girl like Raven needs time. Just sort of ease your way into it. I think you're at a good starting point-I mean, I wasn't the only one who saw you kissing each other on the cheek. Do little things, like ask her to hang out-not go out, hang out. Trust me, there is a difference and how you say it.

"Also, ask her the things that she likes to do besides meditating and reading. When she meditates, why don't you join her sometimes like Starfire? Or if she's reading, sit next to her and read a comic book or something. But don't push it. Girls like their space."

Beast Boy's mouth dropped to the floor. Even Robin looked taken aback.

"How do you know all this?" Cyborg demanded.

Aqualad shrugged. "Just giving suggestions. Hope that helps, Beast Boy," he added to him.

"Shoooot, you should've told me!' Cyborg walked over to Aqualad's side, wrapping his arm around his shoulders. "Now, listen, I need you to help me with Bumblebee and..."

Raven sighed, her vein pulsing yet again. The four were already sitting in a booth together, at the restaurant; Bumblebee was shooting question after question after question, Starfire was egging them on, and Terra was giggling behind her menu.

"You do realize that I'm not going to answer, right?" the empath interjected, squeezing her temples.

"One question then?" Bumblebee asked, holding up one finger. "One more and I'll stop!"

"Depending on your question..." Raven mumbled.

"Alright." Bumblebee smiled, crossing her arms on the table. "Why did you kiss him?"

The sound that came from Raven's throat was not normal; it was deep and gutteral, and came up an octave at the end in surprise.

Starfire giggled from beside her, at that wasn't helping.

"Well..." Raven placed her hand over the pendant, the same hand with the ring on it. "I just thought that...it would've been nice to...return the favor, I guess."

"Uh huh," Bumblebee smirked, giving Raven a look; it made Raven sink a little lower in her seat. Luckily, she tore her gaze off her to look at Starfire. "So, Star, what's the dish on you and Robin?"

"What would you like to know?" Starfire asked, playing with a strand of her hair.

"Anything...interesting happen lately?" Bumblebee replied suggestively, wagging her eyebrows.

"Define interesting, please," Starfire giggled.

"You know what I'm talking about."

"This is not happening..." Raven mumbled.

"Oh, that," Starfire realized innocently. "Hmm...has anything happened between me and Robin..." She brought her arms on the table, resting her cheeks in her hands. "You are refering to the sexual activity, yes?"

Bumblebee nodded, leaning in intently.

"I don't do the telling and kissing," Starfire answered, and Bumblebee groaned. "Please forgive me, Bumblebee. Robin wishes not to discuss our physical relationship amongst others. If you were romantically involved, you might understand."

"I'm not romantically involved and I understand," Raven commented.

"Exactly," Terra agreed.

"What makes you think that I'm not romantically involved?" Bumblebee demanded.

"Are you refering to the 'flirtationship' that you have with friend Cyborg?"

Bumblebee stood corrected. However, she just shrugged it off and nudged Terra with her knee. "I see you hiding over there, Rocky. Don't front. I saw the way you and Aqualad were eyeballing each other."

Terra blushed, slowly lowering her menu.

"It's okay if you like him," Bumblebee continued.

"That's, um, a bit soon, isn't it?" Terra asked.

"I disagree!" said Starfire. "I have had the feelings for Robin shortly after I met him."

"That's because you kissed him to learn English and found out about 'the being nice'," Raven retorted, and Starfire shot daggers briefly in her direction, making her smirk.

"Either way, he's avaaaailableeeee!" Bumblebee singsonged. "I would know. I live with the guy."

"Well, he is...kinda cute," Terra gushed. "Tell me more about him?"

Bumblebee told Terra everything she knew about Aqualad, and Starfire and Raven didn't hesitate to add some things in. Their waitor came around and took their orders, leaving shortly afterwards.

"I say you should do the going for it!" Starfire encouraged after the waitor was out of earshot.

"She just wants no one to be alone," Raven said. "Next thing you know, she'll be trying to get Jericho and Kole together."

"Oh that's such a wonderful idea!" Starfire beamed. "They would be so adorable together, would they not?"

"I just had to say something..." Raven groaned. Love squealed from Nevermore in agreement, and Raven rolled her eyes.

Starfire patted Raven's shoulder lightly. "If you wish for me to let nature do the running of its course, then I will let them be." She hung her head. "Although, I can't help but get the missing feeling at the mention of love." Her eyes were wide and slightly sad as she thought of a certain masked hero.

A green changeling appeared in Raven's mind automatically, and she couldn't help but agree in silence.

"Don't worry, er..." Raven tried reassurance. "We'll be home and...stuff."

Starfire smiled at her best friend's effort. "Raven, you too are having the missing feeling for Beast Boy, yes?"

How did she know? Raven's eyes widened slightly.

"Maybe just a little..." Raven whispered, her voice barely audible. She couldn't help it.

"It's okay to admit it," Starfire told her.

Raven looked across the table at Terra, who was staring back at her. This was so awkward.

"If you're wondering, Raven, I'm over him," Terra told her. "He's just a good friend."

Raven nodded curtly, right before a mischievious smile spread across her face.

"Tell you what," she said. "You tell me something about Beast Boy that no one probably knows, and I'll help you get to know Aqualad better."

"Make that a truce, and you got a deal!" Terra replied.

The two reached across the table and shook hands.

"Look who's playing the cupid now!" Starfire pointed out in an 'I told you so' tone.

"Tell anyone, and I'll send you to the boundaries of hell," Raven warned.

"Aww, I love you too, Raven!" Starfire pulled her friend in for a tight hug.

"You're hugging me," Raven warned breathlessly.

Bumblebee and Terra exchanged glances before they burst out in giggles, right as their food came around.

9:06 p.m.

The girls finally returned. Since Bumblebee and Terra were spending the night, they had their pajamas in Starfire's room.

Aqualad and Cyborg were playing video games together on the couch. Cyborg paused the game.

"Hey, glad you're back!" he said, and Aqualad smiled.

"Hello, Cyborg and Aqualad!" Starfire replied. "May I ask where Robin and Beast Boy are?"

"BB's in his room, and Robin's in the shower," Cyborg said.

"You girls in for a round?" Aqualad asked, pointing towards his controller.

"I'm in!" Terra automatically answered.

"Me too," said Bumblebee. "But first, we're gonna change into our pj's. Be right back!"

The girls left the room, Starfire, Bumblebee, and Terra heading towards the alien girl's room, and Raven heading towards her room. Once she was finally in her room, she kicked off her heels and ruffled her hair. Then, she washed off her makeup and changed into her pajamas-because she knew Starfire would get mad at her if she slept in her dress-which consisted of a royal blue graphic tee and black and matching blue girl boxer shorts.

Meanwhile, Starfire's pajamas were a pink cami and her light purple shorts (or, as what the boys called them, 'booty shorts'). Terra's was a Nirvana tee shirt and striped pajama pants. Bumblebee's pajama set was black and yellow-robe, cami, and pajama pants. While Terra and Bumblebee went down to the Ops, Starfire stayed in her room. She lay on her side, her back facing the door; her lamp was on also.

She decided to read a book-one that Raven had got her last year. It was girl-drama filled and had 'sappy' romance. Figured that was perfect for her.

Starfire wasn't paying much attention when her door slid open, because she thought it was Bumblebee or Terra.

There was a long pause.

"Hey."

Robin's voice almost made her jump with glee as she turned her head to look. He was standing in the threshold, leaning against it with his arm beside it and his body inclined to the left. In his free hand was a bowl, but Starfire didn't know what of. His hair was wet, and he was wearing a dark red muscle tee and black sweats; and as the usual, he was wearing his mask.

"Robin!" she beamed, her heartbeat uneven at the way he was smiling at her. "Please, come in."

"'Kay," Robin came in further, the door closing behind him. Starfire closed her book, putting it on the bedside table and sat up straighter as her boyfriend climbed in the bed to join her. Robin reached across her lap to put the bowl next to her book, right before he leaned back and closed the distance between them for a kiss. Starfire accepted his invitation with no hesitation and kissed him back passionately, running her fingers through his mildly wet locks. Robin's hands were at her hips, keeping her nice and firm against him.

Robin pulled his lips up, breaking the kiss after almost a minute.

"Hi," he said.

"Greetings," she replied, and he chuckled. With one arm still around her, he reached back over for the bowl, nestling it between them.

"I brought strawberries," he told her. "Want some?"

"I would," Starfire said, reaching for one. Robin had beat her to it, bringing a strawberry to her mouth and fed her. "Mm! They are quite tasteful." She reached in next, so she could do the same to him.

"So did you have a good time tonight?" he asked.

Starfire nodded. "Yes. It was great! But..."

"But?"

Starfire played with the top hem of his shirt, her fingers making strange patterns. "I had the missing feeling."

"Aww, you missed me?" Robin said, his voice slightly teasing. He touched his chest, giving out a playful sniff. "Star, I'm s-so touched!"

Starfire giggled. "Humorous." She nestled more into his warmth, sniffing his neck with a deep inhale. "X'hal, you smell good. You just finished the showering, yes? Your skin isn't as dry as it would be."

"Yep. How long have you guys been here?"

"Oh, for almost five minutes, more or less."

"And you didn't offer to join me?" Robin faked dramatic disappointment.

Starfire blushed. "Well, you didn't ask..."

Robin traced his finger down the length of her thigh. "Trust me, Star," he told her huskily. "You don't have to."

Starfire shivered. "Hmm..." She rose her hand to run her fingers through his hair again. "I'll think about that the next time..."

Robin smiled, and they continued to feed each other strawberries. When the bowl ran empty, Starfire put the bowl away, then returned to Robin so they could cuddle more properly. Before she could, however, Robin stopped her; instead, he sank himself lower so he could rest his head against her soft chest, listening to her heartbeat. Starfire smiled and started back running her fingers through his hair over and over; as she did that, Robin's hands crept under her shoulder to caress the small of her back.

"May I ask what you males did while we were gone?" she asked him after some silence.

Robin shrugged. "We hung out in the garage...played video games...talked about you girls..."

"Did...Beast Boy talk about Raven?"

Robin's eyes widened behind his mask. "Um..."

Starfire gently pulled his face up so she could look him in the eyes...well, not necessarily his eyes.

"Richard Grayson, you know you can't lie to me," Starfire told him, using his real name. The way she said it sounded like heaven. She reached up, caressing his face before her fingers brushed against the edge of his mask.

Robin knew what she wanted. As she slowly began to pry his mask off his face, he helped her, their fingers intertwined.

Starfire placed his mask on the bedside table before looking up into his startling blue eyes.

"I guess...he did..." Robin told her.

Starfire smiled. "Raven has the feelings."

Robin's eyes widened. "She does? I knew it!"

"And does Beast Boy have the feelings too?"

Robin nodded. "Yes."

Starfire cheered, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugged herself to him. "Oh this is most wonderous!"

"We're not supposed to tell, right?" Robin asked as he rolled them over, hovering over her body.

Starfire nodded. "The secret..." Her voice trailed off as Robin leaned down closer to her face.

"Stays between us..." Robin finished.

"Yes..." Starfire whispered, and Robin's lips descended on hers. She returned the kiss softly, bringing him down fully with her arms, and his lower half nestled between her legs. Their kisses were slow and spine-tingling now, but slowly increased in tempo as the minutes passed.

When air was needed, Robin kissed his way down Starfire's neck.

"X'hal," Starfire panted breathlessly.

"Teach me," Robin whispered against her skin.

"Teach...what...huh?" Starfire couldn't think straight at the moment.

"Teach me your native language..." Robin rose himself to look into her bright green orbs. "Tamaranian..."

Starfire bit her lip.

"Please...Koriand'r..." Robin used her real name this time, whispering it in her ear and gently biting her earlobe. "It's only fair, right?"

Starfire smiled. "Hmm...maybe...on one condition."

"And what's that?"

Starfire flipped him over, switching their positions so fast that it made Robin's head spin.

"I have been doing the thinking..." she murmured, kissing him on the lips.

"About?" Robin traced his hands up and down her spine.

"This...hand-to-hand combat that you do," Starfire continued. "I wish to learn it. And I think it would be a great benefit for the team."

"Benefit how?"

"What if somehow we loose our powers?" she rested her head on his chest. "Just do the thinking about it. The rest of us are helpless without them. What would we do?"

She waited for his response, stiffening slightly. He was the leader. He called the shots.

Robin started to consider it. "Sounds...reasonable. Great, actually."

"Really?"

"'Course. It's a great idea, Star. I've never thought..."

Starfire smiled and relaxed in his arms. "I am glad you think so."

"We'll start on Wednesday," Robin decided. "I have a lot of planning to do."

Starfire nodded against his chest.

"Until then..." Robin switched their positions, catching Starfire off guard. He smirked at her before kissing her again. Starfire just giggled and kissed him back, wrapping her legs firmly around his waist, and her arms around his neck so her fingers could reunite with his hair.

"I love you, Richard," she murmured against his mouth.

"I love you too, Kori," he murmured back.

Knock knock knock

"Come in!" said Beast Boy, his eyes glued to the game he was playing. He heard his door slid open, and he looked up briefly to see who it was. The changeling froze after turning back to the game, and he paused the game, sitting up straighter.

"Raven," he said, and a wide smile grew across his face, noticing that she was still wearing her necklace and ring.

"Hi," Raven said, ignoring his excuse of a room. "Can I...come in?"

Beast Boy continued to smile, jumping out of his bed, and he made his way over to her. He made a brave move, reaching for her hand and grabbed it, pulling her inside his room so the door could close behind her.

Oooh. Hehe xD

That RobStar scene was for all of you RobStar fangirls-you know who you are ;) Not too shabby.

As for that BBRae ending...for you sick-minded people (...like me sometimes), they don't do anything. As for Robin and Starfire...eh. It's up to the reader xDD

Review please!
