Chapter 1

"Come on Raven," Beast Boy pleaded. "The dance is gonna be awesome. You have to come."

"I don't have to do anything," Raven snapped. "I'm going to go up in my room and read while you go to the dance and make even bigger fools of yourselves then you already have. I don't want anything to do with that."

"Raven you are going to go to this dance and I don't care what you say," Robin sighed coming up behind her.

"You can't make me do anything Boy Blunder," Raven said throughly annoyed. Who did he think he was, trying to tell her what to do?

"As a friend, no I can't make you do anything you don't want to. But as a leader I can and as a leader I say that your going," Robin said and turned around signaling the end of the conversation.

"What's the point of being the second in command if someone can still overrule you," Raven muttered as she walked back to her room to get ready for the dance. "I don't even need to pull a damn rank on the others, they're too scared of me not to listen. Even if I wasn't second in command they'd still listen to me," she growled angerily.

"Raven," Robin shouted from the room as she walked further away. "We're going casual tonight remember."

"Yes Dad," she muttered sarcastically and rolled her eyes when she was out of his hearing range. What to wear what to wear? She thought.

Finally she decided on an outfit and strode down to the living room where everyone was already waiting. She stood there, waiting for the plans to be laid out when she finally got so bored, she began looking at the other Titans' clothes.

Starfire had on bright pink lip gloss and green eyeshadow that matched her eyes. She was wearing a bright pink tube top that stopped about three inches abvoe her bellybutton with a bright orange, winking happy face in the middle of the shirt. She had on a matching pair of and a pair of hot pink high heel shoes that completed the pure pink image making Raven visibly flinch at the sight of so much pink.

Beast Boy had a green tank top and red leather jacket. He had on baggy blue pants and sneakers with the laces undone. Raven raised an eyebrow and wondered to herself how long he could go without tripping. As it turned out, it wasn't very far seeing as he took a step towards the door and fell flat on his face. Raven held back a chuckle and hurried pulled her emotions under her control again as she noticed a lamp floating in the background and she turned her critic eye to Cyborg.

Cyborg had on a football jersey and baggy blue pants with black sneakers that were actually done up. At this, Raven smirked, he'd still trip up.

Robin was the one who drew Raven's attention the most. He was wearing a black muscle shirt that outlined his six-pack. Over the shirt he had a black leather jacket that was left undone. He had on black baggy pants with flames and chains and his classic trademark steel toed boots which brought the entire outfit together. When she looked up at his face, she frowned slightly when she saw that his mask was still in place.

Robin, on the other hand, was goggling silently at Raven. She was wearing a black T that said 'I'm the girl that you're mother warned you about' that brought attention to her delicate curves. She had on a pair of low black hip huggers and black skater shoes. Her eyes were brought out by the black eyeliner and the light purple eyeshadow. She had applied a trace amount of clear lip gloss. He saw her look at him and he saw her brow furrow in a small frown. He looked away embarrassed for staring then remembered that he was wearing his mask so she couldn't see where he was looking. It never occurred to him that the mask was the reason she was frowning.

"So, is y'all ready to go?" Cyborg yelled and ran off to the T-Car anyone had a chance to answer. Everybody took the hint and followed him down to the garage.

Robin walked a short distance behind Raven, admiring her without realizing it. He nearly stopped walking when he realized that he was and suddenly, he came to the conclusion of why he couldn't take his eyes off her. He was falling for Raven. His eyes widened at the thought and he started to try and convince himself that Raven was a friend and nothing more.

When they got to the garage, the T-Car was gone. Robin was furious that Cyborg had left without him and Raven.

"Can't Cyborg wait thirty seconds for everybody to get here before he leaves!" Robin yelled heatedly.

"I'm not complaining. This just means I don't have to go to the dance," Raven said as she started to walk out of the garage and back to her room.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" Robin yelled. She turned around, surprised by his sudden outburst. "We are going to that dance whether you like it or not. Now go over and get a helmet from the bin," he told her as he proceeded to uncover the R-Cycle.

When Raven saw what he was doing she paled, even more, and started stammering excuses, all of which were ignored.

"Do you or do you not like motorcycles?" Robin finally asked, cutting off her excuses.

"Well I've never been on one bu-" she was interrupted by Robin.

"Well now's your chance to find out isn't it," he said handing her the helmet. She looked at it cautiously and after a few minutes he sighed and took it out of her hands.

For one hopeful moment she thought that he was going to let her stay but then he shoved it on her head and buckled it up. He took his own and put it on while he was walking towards the R-Cycle. He sat down on it and turned it on.

Raven walked over slowly and sat down. She put her hands around his chest awkwardly. She held on loosely as Robin wheeled it out of the garage but once they were on the road Robin gunned the bike. They lunged forward (with a startled yelp from Raven) and Robin had it going from zero to at least sixty in five seconds.

Raven was holding onto him so tightly that he couldn't breathe but inside he was bursting. She felt so right with her arms around him. He grinned wickedly and swerved into an alleyway. Raven yelped again and held on tighter burying her face in between his shoulder blades.

"We're going to die," she moaned as Robin took yet another jump. Robin only smirked.

Finally they did get to the dance in one piece. Robin jumped off the bike and helped an unsteady Raven off the bike. He waited until she could walk by herself again then he grabbed her hand and towed her into the warehouse where the dance was taking place.

"This is going to be a long night," Raven muttered sourly when they walked in and were hit with a smothering wave of very loud so called 'music'.
