This... *sniff* This is my last time telling you guys that I don't own the Teen Titans (on this story, at least) *Blows nose obnoxiously*

Beast Boy tried not to laugh as he watched Raven struggle in her heels, obviously having trouble walking on the grass. He was debating on being a good boyfriend and helping her, but seeing her face twisted into frustration was just too adorable to pass up. Though she was kind of just adorable in general.

It had been over a year since they began officially dating, and Beast Boy couldn't have been happier. A lot of people had doubted that they would last, insisting that they were just too different, but he knew that they would prove all of them wrong.

He was hopelessly in love with her, despite the fact that she could still drive him up a wall. It wasn't as if their problems had vanished when they began dating, and they certainly had their fair-share of fights. Hell, they bickered almost as much as they kissed - and they kissed a lot. But they weren't that couple who'd endlessly break up and make up; that couple who drove everyone crazy. They were never on again and off again - they were mature enough to deal with their shit. They were superheroes. They didn't flee at the sign of danger - they ran at it full-force, bumping heads the entire time.

But he wouldn't have had it any other way.

Grinning lazily as his girlfriend finally reached their table, he couldn't help but scope her out. She was breathtaking, as usual, but something about the way she looked tonight made his heart thump wildly in his chest. He couldn't decide if it was just the excitement of seeing her in a dress (a rare sight), or if there was something more. She had let her hair grow out since they began dating, though it probably wasn't considered long. It passed her shoulders just a bit, and seemed to be as soft and beautiful as ever. She had styled it herself tonight, opting to pull it into a messy ponytail, rather than struggle with the curling iron. A few stray pieces framed her face, giving off an effortlessly beautiful vibe. Though she was always beautiful to Beast Boy.

Raven seemed to ignore the changeling's grin as she attempted to wipe the dirt from her heels. The titans had been invited to a fancy banquet hosted by an old friend of Robin's - some rich dude named Bruce. Beast Boy had a faint idea of how the two of them knew each other, though he kept his little conspiracy theory to himself. Instead, he watched as Raven smoothed out the wrinkles forming on her champagne-colored dress.

"I hate this," she muttered, to no one in particular.

Cyborg merely snorted in amusement, too preoccupied with stuffing his face to answer properly. Starfire offered Raven a sympathetic smile, while Robin fumbled his hands nervously in his lap. Giving the empath a toothy grin, Beast Boy lazily draped his arm over her shoulders.

"Want a piece of chocolate?" he suggested, wiggling his eyebrows and gesturing towards his plate. Raven seemed to consider the offer, before shaking her head stoically.

"No; I'm getting fat."

Laughing sheepishly, Beast Boy glanced around at his teammates nervously. He knew that this was a very delicate topic, and he had no idea how to proceed. Obviously, the half-demon was nowhere near being fat, and was just saying that because, well, all girls said that. It was like an automatic response or something. But he had to deny her claim, even if she wasn't being serious.

"Yeah, Rae - you're obese," he replied sarcastically, before adopting a look of horror as Starfire frantically shook her head.

Feeling his ears lower, the changeling slowly turned himself to face his livid girlfriend.

"Excuse me?" she deadpanned, her face seemingly blank. But Beast Boy knew that this was merely the calm before the storm, and he could see the anger shining in her violet eyes.

"Heh, bad joke?" he shrugged, shrinking away from her glare.

"All of your jokes are bad," Cyborg pointed out helpfully, deciding now was the appropriate time to enter the conversation.

Beast Boy was about to defend himself, but the small smile tugging at the half-demon's lips stopped him short. Was this a sign that he was out of the doghouse?

Before he could ask, the clanging of a knife against a glass hushed everyone around him, and he quickly looked towards the noise.

Dressed in a sleek suit and standing at the head of the table was Bruce Wayne, a small, self-satisfied smirk plastered across his face as everyone gave him their attention.

He began speaking, his voice somewhat familiar, though Beast Boy refrained from thinking on it too long. If this guy was who he thought he was, it'd be best to pretend he didn't think it was him.

Wrinkling his nose in confusion at his own logic, the shape-shifter missed out on the guy's speech. Clapping politely along with everyone else, he couldn't contain his surprised expression as Robin stood up across from him.

"I, uh, too, have an announcement," he stammered nervously.

Now, there were two things wrong with this picture. The first being that Robin never stumbled over his words, unless he was talking to Starfire. And sure, technically he was addressing the whole party, and she happened to be a guest, but he always kept his composure when it came to speaking in public.

The second thing wrong was the fact that Robin's hands were fidgeting in his pocket. Now, Beast Boy wasn't the most experienced when it came to speech-making etiquette, but he was pretty sure that hands-in-pockets was a big no-no.

Regardless, the changeling cocked his head to the side curiously, unsure of what Robin had to announce.

"So, as most of you are aware," he began, his nerves slowly subsiding, "I have been the leader of the Teen Titans for some time now. We have defended Jump City for nearly five years, and in a few months time, none of us can be considered 'teens' any longer. So, we will officially be known as the Titans now. And though we are growing up, we will always have the city's best interests at heart. I, for one, cannot express how grateful I am to the wonderful citizens who make this city what it is. Without the continued support, I don't think we would have become the people we are today.

"In fact, being a Titan for this city has been an amazing experience. I can honestly say that forming my team, and growing to love them all as much as I do, along with this city, has been the second best thing to ever happen to me."

Beast Boy had been smiling fondly during the beginning of the speech, but that last part caused him, as well as many other guests, to knit their brows in confusion. He had been under the impression that his leader was just announcing the name-change, but now he hadn't a clue where he was going with this.

A gasp from beside him tore his attention away from the boy wonder's extensive rambling on why he loved Jump City, causing him to turn his head to see a look of shock plastered across Raven's face.

"What is it -" he began, but she hurriedly silenced him with a glare, though a small smile was spreading across her lips.

Confused, Beast Boy turned his attention back to Robin, who had resumed a more nervous appearance.

"So, uh, as I was saying - defending Jump City alongside my best friends has been the second best thing to happen to me. But, as some of you may have guessed," he continued, casting Raven a knowing look, "the absolute best thing to ever happen to me happens to be sitting in the chair beside me."

Beast Boy immediately shifted his gaze to Cyborg, who was smiling fondly at their leader. But before he could wonder what the hell was going on, Raven grabbed his chin and turned his head towards Robin's other left, where Starfire sat with a confused smile.

Realization soon hit him full force as he watched his leader get down on one knee, before pulling his hand from his pocket and revealing a small, black box.

"Starfire," Robin began timidly, a furious blush encompassing his face as his girlfriend blinked at him, completely clueless. "I have been in love with you since the moment I met you, and though I don't act like it sometimes, I can't imagine what my life would be like without you..."

A small blush dotted across the alien's cheeks as she continued smiling at him, her eyes idly tracing the box in his hand curiously. Beast Boy couldn't help but grin as he realized that, despite the countless romance movies she had watched, Starfire had no idea what was happening.

"...and I never plan on finding out," the boy wonder continued, his voice faltering slightly. "St-Starfire," he stammered, opening the box slowly to reveal a large, extravagant diamond ring, "Will... will you marry me?"

Everyone waited with bated breath as the redhead furrowed her brows in confusion, her gaze darting between the ring and his face. But the look of realization soon passed over her face, and an inhuman squeal sounded from her throat as she slapped her hands over her mouth.

Nodding wildly, Starfire slowly removed her left hand, reaching it out towards Robin as he removed the ring from its box. As he slid it onto her finger, the entire party burst into a frenzied applause.

Beast Boy whistled his approval, before a large grin took over his face.

Starfire had taken the liberty of pulling Robin to his feet and mashing her lips against his, while he hung limply as she floated off of the ground. It was a sickeningly sweet sight, and Beast Boy couldn't help but feel his eyes water.

Blinking rapidly, he chanced a glance at Cyborg, who was wiping his eye, unashamed of the stream of tears pouring down his face. Letting out a subdued chuckle, he turned his attention towards Raven, who had a small smile on her face as she clapped politely.

Catching her eye, he silently mouthed the words "we're next", winking cheekily as she shot him a playful glare.

After the initial excitement had died down and the couple of the hour disappeared, Beast Boy opted to take a walk alongside Raven. They explored the grounds of the country club silently, their fingers intertwined lazily as the light breeze ruffled through their hair. She had left her heels behind, tempting the changeling to also remove his shoes as they walked in the grass barefoot.

Though a comfortable silence had settled between them, he felt the strangest need to say something. But what, exactly, he wasn't sure.

"I, uh, I was kidding, you know," he blurted, his eyes fixed on the ground ahead of him. "About... about what I said, back at the table."

He could see Raven looking at him curiously from his peripheral vision, though he avoided direct eye contact.

"You were?" she asked, sounding somewhat surprised.

Unable to hide his shock, Beast Boy gave her a look of disbelief. "Of course, Rae!"

For some reason, she looked taken aback, though he figured it may have been the volume of his voice. Lowering it slightly, he continued to defend himself.

"I mean, you have a great body!" he exclaimed, causing them both to blush furiously as he sent her a sheepish grin. Regardless, he couldn't help but notice that she still seemed a little... upset.

Figuring that he was still in the doghouse, Beast Boy searched his mind for what else he could say to save himself. "I mean, I love you for your personality, of course, and I would continue to love you even if you were fat, 'cuz I love you, but you are so not fat. It was a stupid joke - I was being stupid!"

He watched as she furrowed her brows in confusion, before a small smile spread across her lips.

"Oh!" she exclaimed softly, shaking her head in amusement. "Of course..."

Slightly confused, Beast Boy tilted his head to the side. "Oh?" he repeated, unsure of why she suddenly seemed so happy. Maybe it had to do with the copious amounts of I love you's that he threw in?

Smiling despite his confusion, he pulled the empath closer to him, resting his forehead against hers.

"I can't believe Rob proposed," he admitted softly. He knew that the boy wonder had seriously stepped up his game the past year when it came to his relationship with Starfire, but he hadn't expected that. Honestly, he doubted anybody had seen that coming.

"Me either," Raven agreed with a shy smile.

Beast Boy grinned back, taking their close proximity as an invitation to kiss her. Tentatively pressing his lips against hers, he felt his heart pound rapidly as she slowly kissed back, and he wondered idly if he'd ever get used to the feeling.

Pulling away for air, he gave his girlfriend a confused smirk. "They're getting married," he mused, the seriousness of the situation suddenly dawning on him. "Like, to each other."

Raven nodded absently, adopting a similar expression as her mind mulled it over as well. "There's going to be a wedding," she added, shuddering visibly.

Feeling a devious grin spread across his face, Beast Boy quickly pulled Raven in for another kiss, before mumbling against her lips. "You know what this means?" he asked, biting back a chuckle at the strange feeling of trying to talk while his mouth was pressed against hers.

"Huh?" she responded, the action sending a quick burst of air across his lips. Feeling his grin widen, he took the opportunity to get in one last kiss, before completely ruining her night.

"It means," he drawled lazily, pulling far enough away to get a good look at her undoubtedly hilarious reaction, "that you're the maid of honor."

Beast Boy could only describe the look of horror on her face as utterly adorable.

So, here's the bad news; this is the last chapter I plan on posting (at least, I'm pretty sure it is lol), meaning that this giant, prolonged story has finally come to an end (at least, I think!)

Buuuuut, I have good news as well - I've decided to do a sequel!

I know, I know - I was pretty adamant on not making one, but then several of you suggested doing a time-jump, and focusing on them when they're older. And the more I thought about it, the more I adored the idea! So, I decided to start us off in this epilogue by jumping forward a year, and announcing Robin and Star's engagement (cliche, I know, but it makes for a nice subplot). And I've already typed up the first chapter of the sequel (it's over 5000 words long - omg), and that takes place a year after this. So, it's been basically two years since BB and Rae got together.

But, the sequel is going to be a bit different from my usual stuff - and I know, I know, I say that every time, and then there's never really a big significance. But this time, there is a big difference. Like, a huge difference. This story focuses on them getting together, whereas the sequel is going to focus on them being together. As in, like, together together. Like, I had to reread the rating guidelines to make sure that I could keep it at a T (which, so far, it is, but I have a funny feeling it may move up to an M). So, when I say the sequel is going to be different, I mean it is going to be different. I'm actually scared of posting it, since it's so beyond anything I've done, but like I said, it's 5000 words long, so I'm not going to just let it waste away lol.

I just feel like it is appropriate to warn you guys ahead of time, otherwise it's going to come as a complete shock! And I may be overreacting a bit (though I feel like I'm under-reacting lol), but I can't stress it enough! It is different. It will still be full of humor and fluff, but it's... oh, how to put it... it's on the verge of smut. Yet, tasteful (at least, I hope!) and primarily non-descriptive. BUT THERE WILL BE FLUFF!

Anywhoo, just think of this epilogue as like a transition (though it does not prepare you at all for what is about to come. And yes, I'm probably overreacting lol), and if you aren't interested in the sequel, then I guess this is the end! (Though that's still debatable, lmao) But, yeah! Feel free to leave a review, and let me know if you are interested in the sequel - the more encouragement I receive, the sooner I'll be tempted to post it! But I'm not trying to bribe reviews lol - I've gotten enough reviews to let me die happily! So you can just PM me your thoughts/suggestions/whatever.

Reviews don't hurt, though, so go ahead and leave one ;)

And, to end this ridiculously long author's note at the end of this ridiculously long story, I just want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU FOR READING - THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING - THANK YOU FOR FOLLOWING - THANK YOU FOR FAVORITING - just, thank you! I love all of you guys so much, and you are all wonderful and beautiful and amazing! Remember that!

*Gives all of you a bone-crushing hug*
