A/N (09.06.14): This chapter has been edited and altered as of today.

Ok well this is already Chapter 12…wow. Well I really do hope that you like this chapter. :) I think it's going to be ever so much fun to see Raven and Robin switching bodies instead of the girls… I could have done so much more to them…*grins evilly* you have no idea.

Oh yes and Blackjay has helped me with ideas for his chapter, so a BIG thanks to her!

Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans or the Puppet King…or his cute little Titan Dolls. :)

Chapter 11: Switched

In a place not too far from the Tower, a puppet stood, playing with little mini replica dolls of the Titans. As he continued a grin spread across his face.

"The Titans will be no more. Let the show begin."

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" Raven repeated over and over. She was in the middle of meditating in the Main Room alone. Nobody's was home, all was peaceful, and she couldn't have a more perfect view of the bay area through the large window.

"Raven?"

Or so she'd thought. She sighed and opened her eyes. It was no use to try and ignore people while meditating. Without looking behind her she responded to the offender.

"Yes, Boy Wonder?"

"I was just wondering if you knew where the three stooges went," he asked her, referring to Starfire, Beast Boy and Cyborg.

"No," she stated simply. "But knowing Star, she probably went out with them to the mall to buy a new video game, and ended up dragging to her stores after." Raven closed her eyes again.

Robin nodded and began to walk away but stopped, glancing once more to her back. "Can you believe that we've all actually been together for so long?" He walked over to the couch and hopped over it to sit, now a few feet away from her.

"No, I can't," she said dully. She could tell he was trying to make conversation. It wasn't that she didn't want to talk to him, but after the mirror mishap the week before, she had to ensure being on guard.

"And can you even –" She didn't let him finish.

"Robin, my eyes are closed and I desperatly need to meditate today. Please don't disturb me," she told him. The Boy Wonder sighed.

"Sorry. I'll leave you be…" Robin continued, getting up off the couch and walking towards the doors. While he left though, she could sense his dismay and irritation at her behavior. She sighed.

"Azarath Metrion Zin –"

"MAIL CALL!" Cyborg's voice boomed throughout the Main Room as he stepped in, followed by Beast Boy and Starfire, who carried at least a dozen pink shopping bags. Raven had been so startled from their entrance she lost her concentration and fell onto the floor with a faint 'thump'.

"Hey guys, you're back," Robin said with a smile as he approached them all. Cyborg had in his hands a good-sized crate and put it on the table beside Raven who had finally gotten up and dusted herself off.

"Check it out dudes. This was sitting by the door on our way in. Fan mail!" Beast Boy exclaimed excitedly. "Probably from one of my many admirers." Raven rolled her eyes as Starfire giggled at his supposed funniness, dropping her bags beside the table and then joining everybody around the box again.

"Weird," Robin said. "It doesn't say who it's from."

"Well then lets open it and find out what's in it!" Cyborg piped up. He undid the lid with ease and everybody peered inside, marveling at the unique gifts. "Aw, isn't he cute? Puppet Cy has a light up eye!" Cyborg cooed as he picked up a miniature doll of himself. Everybody else followed suit and picked up their own little dolls.

"Somebody sure has a lot of time on their hands…" Raven put in, pulling her dolls hood down to see it's short purple hair with violet eyes on an expressionless face.

"I think it is most adorable! I have never seen such a whimsical device!" Starfire shrieked with joy. She began to play with it, pretending it was alive and having girly conversations about shoes.

"Dude, my puppet is totally kicking your puppet's butt!" Beast Boy laughed at Cyborg.

"Not for long you little half pint!"

Robin laughed as he watched the display before him. He then turned and saw Raven just sitting their, still examining the little puppet as Starfire approached her with her puppet.

"Would your tiny replica like to do battle with my tiny replica?" she asked Raven with a smile. Raven tossed her puppet at Star's freehand and turned away, walking towards the doors.

"Knock yourself out," she said over her shoulder, leaving for her room for the night. Starfire sighed, frowning now as she lowered the dolls to the counter. Robin walked over to her and touched her back softly, making her look up.

"Don't worry about it, Star. You know how she is," he said reassuringly, making the girl smile somewhat.

"I know, friend. I simply wish she and I could be closer."

Robin sighed, feeling he'd never understand Raven or get close to her either. While he knew they were friends and knew more about each other than the other members on the team, he still felt a while up. Something he certainly didn't want.

"Me too, Star. Me too."

Robin's eyes wandered over to the Main Room doors she'd exitted just seconds before, unsettled. He'd try talking to her when everyone turned in for the night.

Robin opened his door as silently as possible that night, masked eyes taking a glance up and down the hall before going towards Raven's room, merely clad in red sweatpants and a white tank. When he reached her door he took a slow breath in and out before extending his arm to knock. Before he could even get the chance though, her door slid open suddenly, revealing her. The two bird's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing one another, gasping.

"R-Raven! What are you doing up?" Robin managed, making sure to keep his eyes where they belonged and not on her black pajama shirt and shorts.

"I sensed a presence that woke me up and heard a noise, but it turned out to just be you, I guess," she answered, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you outside my room?"

"I wanted to talk to you about earlier…"

Before he could finish a light blue blast came in between them and made them jump back. They looked down the hallway and saw it had come from Cyborg, and behind him came Beast Boy running and Starfire flying. But what stood out to them other then this sudden attack was that all of their eyes were glowing unnaturally.

"They aren't themselves," Robin noted as he dodged a punch from Cyborg, flipping out of the way and barely missing Raven who flew backwards while a snapping Beast Boy growled at her. The two birds exchanged a glance, wondering what the cause could be. Raven's eyes averted to the changeling as put up a shield barely in time to reflect him off.

"Beast Boy, it's me!" she told him. "Don't make me hurt you."

He didn't seem to listen though as he rammed into her shield again, the forcee hitting her back. She tried flying up but Starfire followed too and blasted her down. Raven cried out and fell towards the ground, landing in Cyborg's outstretched arms bridal style. Robin quickly charged at his metal friend but Beast Boy transformed into a dinosaur and swung his tail around, sailing him into Cyborg's arms as well who was holding back a struggling Raven, and now Robin, in each one.

"Release us!" Raven demanded, but none of them seemed to even acknowledge this.

"Why are you attacking us?" Robin put in, "We're your friends!"

"Oh no, they aren't your friends. Not anymore. They're my puppets. These are your friends," a short man said. He himself was a wooden puppet, his jaw moving up and down mechanically as he spoke. When he was finally in front of them, he showed them the puppets of their three attacking friends.

"Robin," the Cyborg one said, mumbled through its' shut mouth.

"Raven," Starfire mimicked.

"Help us!" the Beast Boy puppet cried. Raven and Robin gasped.

"Let them go!" Raven commanded as she squirmed even more. The puppet merely chuckled.

"You don't control me, I control you," he told them calmly as he showed them the controller. "And soon you will be my minions, and the City will bow before me."

Starfire held out Robin's puppet and Beast Boy Raven's. The puppet master held the controller up to them as well and Raven's essence and Robin's began to escape their bodies. Raven's gaze shifted to Robin beside her, knowing she couldn't let this happen. Without thinking of any consequences, she managed to get out her three words, powering escaping her chakra in a whirlwind of magic. The essences came out of the puppets and back to her and Robin's bodies, waking them. Raven and Robin pushed themselves up and made their way down the hallway, running as fast as their legs would carry them. The puppet master grabbed his controller and looked at his lifeless minions.

"After them!" he commanded. Soon the other three were after the birds. Little did they know, the two remaining Titans had slipped through the laundry shoot door, holding onto the edge so not to fall down it, as they tried not to breath. The three walked past the door noisily and both finally sighed out in relief.

Without warning, Robin sneezed and lost grip of his hold, screaming as he slipped down the edge of the shoot. Raven gasped and let go as well, trying to catch him but failing, both of them yelling as they gripped each other's hands as they flew straight down. After what seemed like forever, they landed in a giant bin piled with clothes. Both of them sifted through the mountain to sit up, looking around themselves in the dark basement, hoping to see a for a source of light.

"We have to get out of here Raven and find the others so we can –"

Before Robin could finish the lights turned on and he saw himself turn on a lightswitch. His body turned around and looked at him with a shocked expression.

"Oh Azar…" Raven's voice said from inside Robin's body. Both of them gasped and lost it.

"You… you're in my body!" Robin cried from hers, pointing at her before looking down at his new one now. He thought he might faint. Raven, inside Robin's body, cocked an eyebrow, looking down at herself as well, gulping.

"My last spell, it put us back, but not in the right bodies," she concluded, a scowl on her face.

"C'mon, Raven, we have to get out there and find the Puppet King before something happens," he said, jumping out of the large laundry roller. Raven jumped out after him, grabbing his arm and swinging him around. It felt weird doing it to her own body.

"Not so fast, we can't go out there like this. That's hardly appropriate,"Raven said, stopping him quickly. Robin blinked as his mind put two and two together.

"Then… I guess we have to go change," he managed to say straight faced, clearing his throat and glancing away from her and back again. A blush was splayed across his own face he noted and she didn't answer for a moment.

"So much as touch my body or examine me in any way… I will murder you when we get out of this mess," Raven hissed sleakly in Robin's lush voice, masked eyes narrowing as she shoved passed him swiftly and made her way out of the laundry room. He followed behind silently, knowing that wasn't a threat, but a promise. Of course he'd never do that, just as she never would.

Even so, he couldn't help the fluttering feeling he got in his stomach at the thought. Thankfully, she wasn't the one able to read his emotions anymore. When they were finally in their hallway, they gave each other one last fleeting glance before enterting their respective bedrooms to suit up (From now on whenever I refer to Raven, I really do mean Raven although she is in his body and Robin will mean Robin just in Raven's body).

As soon as Robin and Raven emerged from their designated, neither of them could look at each other at first, embarrassed at what had just taken place. Robin looked up first and put his cloak hood up, ensuring the light flush he was sure he had on his cheeks couldn't be seen by his counterpart. With his new powers that coursed through him, he didn't need to see the blush on her own face to know she was flustered. Finally she looked up and met his gaze.

"Well… let's go then I guess…" Raven said as she began to walk down the hallway. Robin followed beside her fast pace, almost tripping over the cloak once but catching himself. This was going to be harder then they thought.

Raven and Robin were walking down a road in the dark city, the moon hidden behind clouds, both not knowing where they should be going.

"So, how are we going to fight off the others again if we don't know how to fight using each other's bodies?" Robin questioned. Raven peered down at him in her new taller height.

"I really don't know, you tell me Boy Wonder," she quiped, "You're going to be the one with the tougher time though, I think," she told him.

"Great…" Robin started sarcastically. Before he could make another snide remark Raven pointed to the sky.

"Beast Boy."

"I'd say ZOMBIE Beast Boy. Let's go," Robin whispered as he took Raven's green gloved hand and both ran down an alley. Robin started jumping up and down, still holding onto Raven. "How do you fly or levitate?"

But before Raven could give him the answer Beast Boy swooped down and changed into a very angry looking bear. Cyborg broke through the wall beside them, blocking part of their path from the way they came, and just as they turned to their other side Starfire flew down in front of them. They were trapped.

"Now would be a good time to quickly tell me how to fly!" Robin insisted.

"Ok you know those words I always -"

"Yeah! All right, here goes," Robin said and sucked in a deep breath.

"Wait! You have to focus!" Raven tried to tell him but he ignored her, only thinking of getting away from their zombie like friends.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" he shouted quickly as he grabbed Raven's hand. They were suddenly hovering above the other three in the air, Raven's eyes widen beneath her mask. Before she could protest Robin flew up higher into the air and started zipping above the roads high above.

"I think we lost 'em… tell me the way to stop now," he begged her after a couple of minutes of flying away.

"Look at the ground and imagine – NO WAIT!" Raven cried as Robin looked immediately at the ground, causing them to fall. They landed in a pile of trash, Robin on top of Raven. She groaned slightly from the newfound weight on her but was surprised to see that she didn't weigh as much as she thought she would. Before she could shift him off of her though, she found his pale hand clamp against her mouth, face staring through the garbage pile they were barricaded in. Raven stayed still, looking up at him with a wondering eye as she realized they were hiding from someone. Lo and behold, behind the trash barrier was a curious Beast Boy in the form of a mouse.

Robin began to panic slightly and black aura formed around the hand that was covering Raven's mouth. Raven noticed this and her eyes widened. She took her own hand and grabbed Robin's in hers, removing it from her mouth and placing it on her chest as she held it. Robin glanced down at her at this feeling to see her looking at him sternly, her way of saying calm down. He silently nodded.

"Enough," the voice of the Puppet King finally told his minions. Beast Boy finally stopped searching and went in front of his master with Starfire and Cyborg. "We will capture the other two after the ceremony is complete."

"Ceremony? What ceremony?" Starfire's doll asked.

"Why just a little spell that will destroy you three and make your bodies mine forever," He explained. Raven and Robin gasped. "Come my puppets."

With that the Puppet King walked away, followed by their zombie friends. Raven and Robin finally emerged from their hiding place in the trash heap and walked back into the alleyway, Raven trying to pick garbage out of her gelled up hair.

"How can you stand this?" she asked him. He ignored her.

"Come on Raven, we have to hurry and –"

"And what? Save them with my knowledge on how to not use your equiptment while your emotions blow us to bits? Nice flying by the way," she told him sarcastically with a monotone face. Raven's body was engulfed by her black aura at this point as Robin's temper took over.

"You aren't even making an attempt to try and help us out by using my tech! I'm sorry I don't have abilities like the rest of you, but a little effort on your part could help out! And it's not my fault either that you can't show your emotions!" he cried out, the aura surrounding him getting bigger with each mean word he spat out. Raven merely turned away from him.

"Maybe you haven't noticed Boy Blunder, but I can't afford to feel emotions. I thought you would have realized that from your recent trip to my mind. You may have my body, but you still know nothing about me," she said roughly back. Robin's face turned to one of regret.

"Maybe you're right," he told her, and this made her turn around in surprise. "And in order to get out of this mess we have to learn anything and everything about each other," he continued, "I know you may not like it, but we need to open up and work together completely if we're going to save everyone."

"Alright," Raven said softly, the two sitting down and facing each other.

Robin and Raven found themselves in front of an old run down Movie Theater, where inside was the Puppet King and their friends. Outside guarding the door was Beast Boy in dog form.

"Front door is out of the question," Raven told him. He nodded.

"Time for you to test yourself," he simply told her, and she sighed.

They went around to the side of the building, thankfully undetected, and Raven went into one of Robin's belt pockets to pull out his grappling hook.

"How do you fit all this in their?" she wondered aloud. He merely shrugged and she looked up, shooting it to the roof and holding it in place as it caught the edge of the wall. Raven pulled on it a couple times before sighing. She wasn't one to like climbing, let alone have the strength to.

"Okay, will it hold both of our weight?" Robin asked her. She nodded as he walked up to her and motioned for her to grab the rope. She did and he threw his arms around her shoulders tightly, pressing her body to his and holding on as she started climbing up. She never thought she'd be able to do this - it required upper body strength that she didn't have, but in Robin's body, even with having the extra weight of him on her, she managed to get them up their safely and with ease.

Finally she jumped over and Robin landed on the ground as well, smiling at her.

"Great job, Raven," he said before looking at the door that led down into the building. There was a lock on it. Raven pointed to it.

"Your turn," she said. "Focus your energy on the lock," she instructed.

Robin nodded and closed his eyes. When he opened them again they were white and his hands had black aura surrounding them.

"Azarath…Metrion…Zinthos," he said slowly as the aura went around the lock and sliced it open. Robin smiled at his handy work.

"Nice work," Raven complimented. He raised his hand exuberantly for a high five, but as he did so with enthusiasm the doors flew up and open, and he fell inside with a hard thump. Raven peered down through the door before slowly walking down inside as well and sighing. "Nice work…" she repeated with sarcasm now. Robin picked himself up and the two continued their journey into the building.

Raven and Robin watched from a metal balcony above the unsuspecting Puppet and the little dolls of their friends. In front of him was a giant bowl with blue flames rising above it. They gasped when they realized what was going to happen.

Finally, the Puppet King grabbed the dolls by the strings and held them above the rising flame. "It's going to be a showstopper."

Just as he dropped them though, Robin quickly acted and used Raven's powers to summon a little black bubble around them. The Puppet King watched in shock as it flew up to where the others were. Robin grabbed them and Raven sighed in relief.

"Nice work, Robin," She complimented once more. The other three Titans in the puppets body's glanced up at the two teens and gasped. Had they just heard that right? Raven and Robin noticed this.

"Long story," they both said.

Just then the Puppet King commanded his minions to go after them and they all went into action. Beast Boy flew up as a bat in front of the reuniting group. Robin and Raven shrieked in surprise and turned around, only to see Starfire had flown up as well. Cyborg came swinging up from a rope and blasted at them, joining in. Raven and Robin screamed as they were tossed off the balcony, Robin letting go of their puppet friends on accident as they fell on the floor for the time being. Both Titans tried to find something to grab onto but couldn't. Robin finally figured out how to float and Raven grabbed onto a nearby rope exactly like the one Cyborg had used. They looked at the charging threesome and knew they had to split up. Raven nodded to Robin as he flew up into the air, being chased after by Starfire who flew up after him and Raven climbed ropes, jumping from one to the other, being pursued by the two boys.

Robin flew up back to another balcony and landed there, followed by an expressionless Star.

"Starfire, I really don't want to hurt you," he said, backing away a bit. Starfire just floated there before her hands glowed green and she shot starbolts out at him. He tried to shield himself but couldn't figure it out in time and was blasted back. When the smoke cleared though his eyes were white and he looked at Starfire's feet that were on the ground, one foot through a rope. He took the heavy bag attached to it with black aura, throwing it off the edge and watched she went flying up in the air.

Raven on the other hand was getting tired of trying to run from the boys. Finally she landed on another metal landing and looked in each pocket for that bo-staff Robin had taught her to use.

'Smoke bombs… no. Explosive disks… no… a picture?' Raven looked more closely to see a man, woman and… was that a young Robin? Raven quickly put the picture in carefully, sensing its importance to Robin. Was that his family? Before she could think further Beast Boy flew at her as a gorilla and crashed her into the ground. She finally opened one more compartment to find a small metal rod and she opened it up, whacking Beast Boy back with such force he flew off of the landing strip.

Raven grinned but then Cyborg came from behind her once again and hit her in the back, sending her off the edge now. She said her three words but then remember she wasn't in that body and cursed. Robin saw that she was falling right by their friends so he got control of her body and moved her up to where he was.

"Thanks," she breathed and he nodded before the other three joined them. Before either of them could react Starfire held Raven down and Beast Boy was hitting her. Robin moved forward but then they threw Raven over to the edge, and it was all she could do to hang onto it for dear life.

"Raven!" Robin called as he rushed towards her. Before he could reach her though, Starfire grabbed her and threw her into Cyborg's cold metal grasp, holding her bridal style like before. She squirmed but called to him.

"Robin!" she cried. "Don't help me, get our friends!"

Robin turned around and saw that the Puppet King was running over with their friends to the blue flame. Robin took one more worried glance at Raven before sighing and summoning all the courage he could get.

"No!" he cried as he shot out a black projectile, hitting the bowl square on and making it explode, throwing the puppet and their friends back. The Puppet King's controller flew throughout the air and into the flame, making him gasp.

"No! Without that controller I'm just-" but before he could finish his sentence, he fell lifeless to the ground and dropped the puppets.

Just then the essences of Raven and Robin's friends began coming out and returned to their own bodies, as did Raven and Robin's own. They came out, switching back into their own bodies. Cyborg dropped Robin back to his feet and Raven floated back down to the ground. She looked down to see that she was indeed in her own body. Robin saw her and knew that everything was back to normal.

"We did it," Raven breathed out, truly shocked and relieved that had only lasted one day. She walked up to Robin and remarkably hugged him, too happy to hold back. Robin hugged back as well. All their friends around them laughed, happy to be back to normal.

Raven and Robin were walking down the hallway the next morning, on their way to get some breakfast.

"So, that was really… interesting," Robin told her. She nodded.

"And… you didn't…" Raven started before blushing. It took Robin a minute to process what she was getting at and then a blush of his own crept across his face.

"Of course not, Raven! I told you I'd never do that!" he told her honestly. "To tell you the truth, I didn't even look at what I was doing. I just sort of put it on with my eyes closed. I didn't even know if your leotard was on backwards or not."

Raven cracked a smile at this remark. "Well just so you know I didn't model in front of the mirror either."

"Thanks, Rae." The word came out naturally. Robin grinned and Raven's face faltered.

"Oh no… no way are you calling me that," she persisted.

Robin just grinned at her. "Really, I kind of like it… Rae."

With that, Robin was chased down the halls by a very mad Raven all the way to breakfast.
