Chapter 1

The beginning.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, I only make them go to sleep overs. J

Setting:

After the last Titans episode but as if the movie never even happened.

Raven's POV:

Ugh, I groaned as my eyes opened to the room around me. I glanced at the clock on my bedside table. It was 4:00 pm. There was a bit of light coming through my window. I was just going to lie down for a little longer, but things never go as planned.

There came a beating at my door. "Raven, friend, you must wake up," said Starfire from outside.

I dragged my body out of bed and went to the door. I didn't even try to hide my annoyance. "Why?" I demanded.

"It is today," she said and that explained everything. It. The thing that I have been dreading for the past two weeks. "You must get dressed."

"Fine," I submitted. "I'll be ready soon."

I gathered my blue towel, uniform, and other personals and headed for the bathroom. Thankfully, no one was in there. I was able to enjoy my hot shower without any interruptions. After that, I pulled on my clothes and finished brushing my teeth. My hair was quite a mess.

I had started to let it grow, and it was now down to my shoulder like it had been when I defeated my father. I intend to keep it at this length. Unfortunately, it was sort of annoying to care for. I yanked a brush through it and straightened out the snarls. It was somewhat wavy, and looked nice. I shot myself a small smile in the mirror and gathered my things. I exited the bathroom and deposited my things on my bed.

I wasn't really sure what I wanted to. I could either stay in my room and meditate or go to the common room with my friends. I've been spending a lot more time in my room lately... so, I decided to go and spend time with my friends.

I left my room, closing the door behind me and went into the common room. I stood at the door, looking at my friends doing what they always do. Cyborg and Beast Boy were racing on the game station. And of course, Cyborg was winning as usual. Starfire was in the kitchenette cooking and Robin was talking to her.

I entered and took my usual seat on the couch. I tucked my legs under me and pulled out the leather bound tome that I had been reading last night before I went to bed. I continued to read for a while before I noticed that the game was over and Beast Boy was staring at me.

"What?" I demanded, trying to hide my blush. Beast Boy had changed a lot over the past months. He was taller and more muscular. His face had lost its roundness and now looked like that of a grown man rather than a boy.

"Nothing," he shrugged. "What're you reading?"

I was a bit surprised. Beast Boy never usually cares what I'm reading. That's another thing that's changed. He seems more interested in what I'm doing than he used to. "Spell Casting and How it Affected both Azarath and Earth."

"Sounds interesting," he grinned. "And a short title too."

I gave him a small smile. "Somewhat."

He was about to say something else when Starfire flew in front of the screen.

"Awww man, Starfire, I was about to kick some butt," Cyborg complained as he scowled at the world in general.

"You may kick the butt after I make an announcement," She said.

"What is it, Starfire?" Robin asked in concern.

"Tonight is the night of mine and Raven's sleepover," she smiled as I cringed when the guys looked over at me. "You must go to the Titan's West tower."

"Aww man, that's tonight?" Beast Boy groaned.

A few weeks ago Starfire decided that we needed a Titan girl's night. So, she forced Robin to agree to let us host a sleep over here. While we were doing stupid, girly things they would be at the Titan's west tower doing something fun. I had agreed, but it was only because I didn't want Star crying or worse: begging.

"Yes," Starfire screamed. "You must leave soon."

"Duuude," Beast Boy groaned.

"It's only 6:00, Starfire. Maybe we should wait another hour," Robin said.

"Fine," he huffed.

Starfire went back to the kitchen and Robin followed her. Of course, Cyborg had to finish his game while muttering about aliens. Normally, Beast Boy would have turned around and continued his game, but he didn't.

"So, how'd she get you into the whole 'sleep over' thing?" he asked, leaning closer to me.

"Guilt trip," I said honestly.

He chuckled loudly. "I thought so." It's true. No one in their right mind would imagine me participating in a sleep over.

"Don't laugh," I chided. "You have your own sleep over to attend."

Beast Boy's face contorted. "Yeah, at the Titan's west. Should be fun."

"What do guys do at sleep overs anyway?" I asked, a bit of curiosity coloring my normally monotone voice.

"Trade secrets," he said tapping his nose. "What do girls do?"

"Trade secrets," I said as I opened my book back up and began to continue to read. He chuckled as he turned back to the game, because he knew that he wasn't going to get anything else out of me.

The next hour or so passed by in a flash. Before I knew it, the sky had darkened and the boys were collecting their bags to go. "Make sure you turn on the security system every night." Cyborg reminded us as he gathered his bags.

"Yes mother," I responded in my monotone.

"And don't get in the T-car," he cautioned. "And-"

Thankfully, his next order was cut off by a voice from the door. "I think we can handle it," Bumble Bee smiled from the doorway. Jinx was standing next to her, grinning.

"Just don't hurt my house or my baby," Cyborg said softer and in a kinder tone.

Bumble Bee strode toward him confidently and put her hand on his shoulders. "Don't worry, Sparky. We can handle this. Now get out of here."

Cyborg grumbled but grabbed his bags and headed out of the door. Beast Boy and Robin followed him out and the door closed behind them. Beast Boy grinned at me and gave a jolly wave. "See ya later," he smiled, and it seemed like he was just talking to me. I smiled back and gave him a wave as my heart went back down to its regular place.

Jinx came farther into the room and we stood in silence with our ears cocked to the garage. We listened to the sound of the T-ships engine starting. As it left, we all breathed a sigh of relief. "Girls night is officially on," Bee said grinning and throwing her hands up in a salute.

"Yay, Friends! How wonderful!" Starfire said gathering us all into a rib-cracking hug.

"Can't breathe," Jinx wheezed.

Star released us with a sheepish smile. "Oh, friends, I am sorry but I am excited."

Star turned to Bumbel Bee and began talking about our activities. That was a conversation that I was not interested in, so I began talking to Jinx. I must admit that when she first came over to our side, I was worried and didn't trust her. But she grew on me. She's the most like me. She's considered somewhat dark, has a somewhat emo or goth style, and has powers based on emotions.

"How have you been, Jinx?" I asked.

"Just wonderful," she droned. Sarcasm, another talent that we share. "What about you?"

"Oh, just looking forward to this sleep over," I lied. She giggled and nodded.

"Oh, I can tell." Of course, who can't tell how excited that I am?

Before I could make another comment, Starfire spoke up. "Friends, I have the list of the sleep over activities for tonight," she announced excitedly. "It shall be most entertaining."

"It's an amazing list, if I do say so myself," Bee laughed.

"So, what's first?" I asked trying to fake enthusiasm. Needless to say, no one was even slightly fooled by my act.

"First is the make-overs," Starfire said. Make-overs? Did I hear that right.

"Azarath Metrion Zinth-," I began but was cut off when Jinx wrapped her hand around my mouth. I glared at her.

"If I have to stay here and suffer then so do you," she warned.

"Fine," I grumbled in my monotone, pulling my hood up. "I'll stay. Buf for the record... I won't like it."

"Join the club," Jinx muttered.

"Who wants to go first?" Bumble Bee demanded. Jinx and I looked away from them.

"Fine," Bee said. "It seems like neither of you will go willingly. So, Starfire and I will just do both of you at the same time."

"Ugh," Jinx and I groaned together. Great, this should be fun. Not.

"What a wonderful idea," Starfire gushed. "Sit down, please." Jinx and I sat side by side on the couch while Star and Bee argued over who would do who's face.

"I'll do Raven," Bee said. "I've been dying to do this since we first met."

"Thanks," I mumbled with furrowed eyebrows.

"Not like that. You're beautiful. You just need a little help to reach your full potential." I rolled my eyes. That's a crap answere that people give when they're caught in a lie.

"I will do friend Jinx," Starfire squealed. Jinx gulped nervously. I couldn't blame her. This is horrible and won't end well.

"Close your eyes," Bee and Star ordered. Jinx glanced at me as we closed our eyes and prepared for the torture.

I felt Bee rubbing things on my face and eyes. She did my lashes and put stuff on my lips. I didn't know how I would look afterwards, but the process wasn't as bad as I had thought. I just hope that I don't end up looking like a crazy drag-queen (A/n: no offence.) I know how carried away these two can get.

Their make-overs carried on for about five to ten more minutes. Jinx stiffened a few times next to me, but never enough to really make me worry. Thankfully, the torture was finally over. "You can open your eyes now," Starfire squealed at us both.

I opened my eyes and noticed that my face felt a little heavier than usual. That's to be expected with the make up. "Well, how do you like it?" Starfire demanded. She had obviously forgotten the mirror.

"Um, Starfire, I can't see it," I reminded her as gently as possible.

Starfire's face turned red as she realized her mistake. "Oh, I am sorry Friend Raven. Here you are."

Star pulled the mirror from behind her and held it up so that I could see my face. At first, I was a little worried about how I looked. I didn't really want to look in the mirror, but I didn't want to hurt Star or Bee. So, I took a deep breath and looked down into the mirror. I felt shocked and amazed at the girl that I saw there. She was beautiful and she looked almost nothing like me.

Her eyes were smoky and rimmed in a deep, blue which made her eyes pop. Her lashes were black and long enough to touch her cheeks. Her skin seemed to glitter and sparkle in the light as she moved. Her lips sparkled in a somewhat red gloss that sparkled and smelled like cherries. Her. She was me and it was nearly impossible to believe.

"Wow," Jinx and I said in unison. I hadn't really paid her any attention before now, but then I turned to see how she looked. Starfire had done a really good job on her. Her pink eyes were also a smoky grayish black. Her lashes had been made long and black but her lips were pink and so were her lips.

"So you like it, friends?" Starfire demanded.

"No," I said and felt bad as her face crumbled before my eyes. "I love it. It looks great."

"Agreed," Jinx grinned. "You guys did a great job."

"Thanks," Bee grinned. "This is our area of expertise." Starfire didn't waste time with words. She gripped all three of us in her usual bone crunching hug. Thankfully, she released us before we turned blue.

"I hope the rest of your sleep overs activities are this fun," I said smirking.

"Oh, but they are, Friend Raven," Star squealed. Once again, I glanced at Jinx, wanting to get her opinion. She looked and shrugged.

"Okay, I'll bite," she gritted out. "What's our next 'sleep over activity'?"

Starfire and Bumble Bee glanced at the list that they held in their hands. I could tell that it wasn't good when I saw the evil smirks that lit their faces. I couldn't help but gulp nervously. Bumble bee was still smirking as she read it out loud. "Truth or Dare!"
