"DUDE! Why won't this stupid thing tie already?!" said a frustrated Beast Boy as he messed with his bow tie.

Cyborg chuckled and shook his head. "Here man let me give ya a hand."

Cyborg took the tie off and gently started tying the bow for him.

"Didn't your old man ever teach you how to tie one of these when you were a kid?" He asked.

"Nah dude." said the shapeshifter. "I never spent that much time with him. He was always busy with work. Plus we didn't attend traditional wedding's in the jungle. There was one I went to where they said dancing was the real language of love. Ah it was so awesome dude." He smiled as he remembered that event.

"Haha. Sounds like you've had your fair share of weddings."

"Eh I've been to a couple. I wouldn't call myself an expert though."

Cyborg spoke calmly. "You ever think you might tie the knot someday?"

There was a minute of silence before Beast Boy answered.

"No way dude. The married life isn't for me. Why would I want to settle down any way? I'm a chick magnet. I couldn't disappoint the ladies."

Cyborg watched his friend then finished tying his bow tie. "Alright your all set. You can go on with your bad self now."

Beast Boy looked in the mirror. "Wowzers. Dude I totally look like a secret agent!" He posed while looking in the mirror. "The names Man...'Beast' Man. Woo chow!"

"Okay Agent Double O Negative, move aside I gotta make sure I look good for the wedding too." Cyborg said as he shoved Beast Boy aside.

"Hey! Watch the suit its a rental!"

"Heres an idea BB why don't you check on the Groom and see how he's doing?" Cyborg suggested.

"Awww do I have to? I mean I know he's our friend and leader and all, but the guy gets on my nerves. I mean ever since that Super Bowl party I've felt kind of uncomfortable around him. Remember that? Him running around like a wild animal and eating all the chips. Dude he even jumped on top of a table and started singing 'Who Let the Dogs Out.'"

Cyborg turned to him. "B. That was you."

Beast Boy stood still as his cleared his throat. "Well I um better go check on the groom and make sure he doesn't have cold feet."

"Yo make sure he's ready we have to head over to the Country Club soon."

Beast Boy walked down the hall to Nightwing's room and lifted his hand and knocked on the door.

"Hey uh, Nightwing. You almost ready? Cy says we need to head over to your wedding in a few minutes."

Nightwing called out. "Yeah almost ready. Give me a few more minutes."

"Dude it is not normal for a dude to spend ten hours fixing his hair. The continents are literally moving faster than you!"

"It does not take me ten hours!" Nightwing protested.

After laughing quietly, he wandered down the hall trying to pass the time. He then stopped suddenly. Without realizing it, he looked to his right and found himself in front of the door that belonged to Raven. He stared at it for what felt like hours and gently touched the engraved name that remained on the door. Beast Boy could remember how after her death he would sit in there, every day, sometimes even slept in there, reading through her books hoping to find someway to bring her back, even though he knew it would be impossible. He was only human. He had no magical abilities. He remembered how he had broken down intensely the night before the funeral. He's denial consuming him, he's complete hatred for himself grew and grew. He remembered how he had tried to hurt himself. Cyborg had showed up just in time to stop him. No one had been in that room since the funeral.

What really troubled him was why did he react the way he did. Sure Raven was a good friend of his, yes it was terrible. But he couldn't understand why he would go so far as to harm himself over it. He wasn't even involved in her death. But then if that was true then why did he feel so guilty. All he remembered from that day was Dr. Light's weapon activating, and Cyborg telling him that Raven didn't make it. He had asked to see her but Cyborg told him there was nothing left except the broach that she wore on her cloak and ash. But even then he was devastated. But even now after two years Beast Boy felt like that wasn't what happened. What was it that he didn't know. Was someone hiding something from him? Would he ever know the truth? He didn't know.

He wondered if her room still looked the same after all this time. But he would not dare go in. At least not today. Maybe in another year or so. When he is ready. Although, he did wondered that if he did try to go in, if Raven would suddenly appear and yell at him and call him an idiot like she always did. He smiled at this thought. Those were indeed wonderful memories.

"Yo BB! Where you at? We gotta go!" Cyborg called from the elevator.

"Coming!" He took one last look at the door and hurried to them as they stood in the elevator.


As the guys arrived at the country club they found that most of the guests were already arriving. All of Titans East, Argent, Kid Flash, which meant that Jinx would be around somewhere. It appeared that almost all of the Titans from around the globe were there.

"Hmm..." Beast Boy put his finger to his chin in thought.

Nightwing sighed. "What now?"

"Oh nothing I was just expecting Batman to be here." He shrugged his shoulders. "Oh well. I guess you weren't his favorite sidekick after all."

"What makes you think I wouldn't show up?" a dark groggily voice said.

"GAAAH!" Beast Boy shrieked and jumped on top of Cyborg. As he turned to look, he saw the Dark Knight himself walk from out of the shadows.

"Dude! You seriously need to wear a bell or something!" said the spooked hero.

Batman looked to Nightwing and patted his shoulder. "Congratulations Nightwing. Alfred will be in soon to congratulate you."

"Thanks Batman." Nightwing nodded.

"Now if you will excuse me." said Batman. "I'm going to get some refreshments. My throat is sore for some odd reason."

As he excused himself, Beast Boy got down off of his friend and straightened himself up.

"Haha you should've seen how scared you looked." chuckled Cyborg.

"I wasn't scared!" Beast Boy protested. "I was just being polite thats all."

Cyborg looked to Nightwing. "So let me get this straight. Batman will show up to your wedding as Batman. But his butler can just show up anywhere with him? A butler with the same name as multi-millionaire Bruce Wayne's butler. Won't somebody put two and two together."

"Whoa!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "Bruce Wayne has a butler named Alfred too?!"

Nightwing whispered to Cyborg. "I don't think Batman has anything to worry about."

As everyone started to get seated, Beast Boy walked down the hall to the Bride's quarters and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Starfire called out.

"It's your knight in shining armor! I've come to rescue you from this evil place!" Beast Boy said with a daring voice.

Starfire giggled. "You may come in Beast Boy. But I wish not to be taken any where at the moment."

He smiled and walked in, closing the door behind him.

"Whats cookin good lookin?" He said with a grin.

Starfire turned to him from her mirror and smiled. "I am afraid that I am not doing the cooking very well. I am rather nervous."

"What? You shouldn't be nervous. I guarantee you are the most prettiest girl at this wedding." He smiled to her. "Trust me. All the guys that are here are actually in tears cause they lost their chance at sweeping you off your feet."

Starfire couldn't help but laugh. "Oh Beast Boy, despite what the others think, I have always found your jokes quite amusing."

"Huh? That wasn't a joke. I was actually quite serious."

Starfire giggled again then looked at herself in the tall mirror again.

"Do you think this will please Dick?" she asked softly.

"Are you kidding? He will be completely stunned when he sees you walk down the isle in this." He smiled and looked up at her. He knew he was right. Despite not wanting any bridesmaids, he and Cyborg actually insisted on helping find her her dress. And they were very proud of themselves. It suited Starfire well. A classic yet modern gown with a touch of a Tamaranean crown representing her title. Despite her giving it up years ago.

He then looked at her closely. "Oh Star wait a sec, your eyeliner is smearing."

He took her hand and sat her down at the desk and gently helped her fix her makeup.

"Beast Boy, I did not know you knew how to apply the female cosmetics." she said impressed.

"Haha, I used to watch my mom apply hers when she and my dad would go out." He chuckled. "I used to tell her, 'But mama, your already pretty. You don't need makeup.' Then she would always say 'Theres nothing wrong with adding a little something extra, just to help a woman feel pretty.'" He smiled at that memory.

"You truly loved her didn't you." she said softly.

"Still do." Beast Boy shook the memory and went back to Starfire's makeup. "Any how, with that knowledge, I have a feeling I know how your makeup got smeared. Mind telling me why the beautiful bride is all teary eyed?"

She giggled. "Oh Beast Boy, you should know it is an Earth custom to cry upon a wedding day."

"Star. I'm gonna say this as nice as possible. You suck at lying." He grinned. "Even though that is true."

"I am sorry. I had just always imagined that...Raven would be here, helping me with all this." she looked to him as he paused and sat quietly for a moment.

"Oh..." he said. "I understand..."

"You do?" she asked.

"Yes..." His eyes suddenly became big and teary eyed. "You never wanted me to be your maid of honor thats why you told me no!"

Starfire laughed. "No Beast Boy that is not it!"

"No! I see how it is. We live a cruel world after all. A woman can vote, but a hansom, green heartthrob can't be a maid of honor." He gasped in horror. "I thought you were different from the others!"

Starfire laughed and hugged her dear friend. "Oh Beast Boy you always know how to make me smile. You are like the brother to me."

"Aw shucks." He chuckled. He then looked to her and spoke softly. "Hey. She'd be happy for you."

She smiled up at him. "Thank you Garfield. For everything."

He grinned and looked at the clock. "Oh its almost time. I better send your nanny in here to help you down the isle."

Starfire became excited when her K'norfka walked in the room.

"Galfore!" She cheered as she greeted him with a hug. "It is truly glorious to see you here on the day of my wedding! I was afraid you may not attend due to your duties as Grand Ruler of Tamaran."

"I would not miss this for all the Zorkaberries in the all the galaxy! I am so happy to see you my little Bumgorf." he said.

Beast Boy smiled as he left them alone so they could enjoy this happy ruinion together.
