So according to the YJ comics Rocket and Robin were once a thing. In my opinion I think they became good friends and then had a brief fling, but both realized it probably wouldn't work out and just left it as friends. This is kinda my idea on how things played out in the very beginning of their friendship. I'm sure they were friendly before this, but I think this is something that kinda would start their close relationship.

PLUS: This is my first non angsty Robin fic. Yay :)

I want to make more happy stuff cause my life is so stressed and terrible as it is, the least I can do is make my fictional characters happy.

"What are you looking so excited for?" Robin asked, taking in the smiling Rocket.

"Huh?" Rocket turned to see the grinning boy wonder. 'My has he grown', she thought with a smirk. Now at 15, Robin had aged quite well and Rocket (and most of the females of the team) had a hard time remembering when he was only viewed as the trolling little brother.

Dressed in their civies, like the rest of the team, both were ready for their rarely given day off. Robin personally was looking forward to spending the day with Wally and Artemis in Gotham.

"Well if you must know, Kaldur and I had made some plans awhile ago to go to take a day trip to the boardwalk. Apparently he's never been and since Dakota City is not really a beach city, neither have I," Rocket explained peering around Robin to view the door, "I'm really excited. But if he doesn't hurry up we'll miss the bus."

Robin was about to open his mouth to respond when he saw Rocket's face drop. He turned to see Kaldur walking through the door with a laughing Tula. Ever since the female Atlantean joined the team a few months ago, Aqualad's mood had severely increased, but his relationship with Rocket had suffered.

"Robin, Raquel. How are you, my friends?" Kaldur asked. "Tula and I were just about to head to the beach for a swim. What do you have planned for our day off?" Kaldur inquired, his eyes glancing at Tula.

"Uh, nothing really," Rocket respond quickly, hiding the beach bag she had been holding.

Robin smiled, "She's actually gonna head to the boardwalk with me. We kinda have a whole trip planned. It's gonna be asterous."

Rocket's eyes widened with surprise and Kaldur slightly frowned, something tugging at him in the back of his mind.

"That sounds so wonderful!" Tula exclaimed, truly impressed by their plans. "You must tell me all about it tomorrow, Raquel."

"Will do, Tula," Rocket's eyes still trained on Robin.

"Well I hope you both have a wonderful time," Kaldur'ahm said with a somewhat forced smile as he led Aquagirl to the cave's opening. Robin waved goodbye to the departing Atlanteans.

Once they were out of sight Raquel turned to her teammate. "Why did you do that?" she asked accusingly. Even with the anger, Dick could sense the gratitude hiding behind all her attitude.

"Cause unlike you, I have been to the boardwalk and I think it's a travesty that you never have. I demand to right this wrong."

Rocket paused for a moment, searching his face for any hint of non-sincerity. She thought she could sense compassion in his eyes, though with his shades on it was hard to tell.

Finally with a sigh she gave in, "Ok bird boy, we'll have it your way. But I don't want any pity," she stated with a smirk on her lips.

"Oh my dear Raquel, I wouldn't even dare." He then turned towards the Zeta tube and, to her surprise, offered her his arm.

She took it and with that began an unexpected friendship.

ugh hate the ending. I was gonna end it with robin texting wally that he couldn't make it to their plans, but it seemed weird with the flow. Oh well, for now it'll have to do

By the way, I don't know about you, but I'm a HUGE batgirl/nightwing fan, but i still feel like raquel and robin would have a fun friendship and a cute brief fling. They would just have sassy banter. I dig it.
