-----------------------

Raven patted down the wrinkles on her midnight blue ballgown. It was
the 6-year anniversary of the teen titans. All of the heroes were
trowing a huge, elegant, party. Starfire, of course, immeditaly
freaked out and dragged Raven to get a dress. Now here she was,
looking at herself in the mirror.

She was picking at her gloves when Cyborg came in. He was wearing a
silver tux with a blue tie. The cuffs had a bit of glimmer in them.
The only way you could tell he was a cyborg is his head.

"You look handsome," Raven gave him a assuring smile, then continued
to fiddle with her gloves. Cyborg walked over to her to helped her fix
them.

"And," He said, trying to work out the fold in the silky handwear,
"You look like a goddess." Raven blushed as they finally figured out
the intricate pieces of fabric.

"Everyone is out there, "Cyborg sighed glancing down the hallway.

"Yeah, Can you believe that we've been doing this for six years?"
Raven glanced ammazingly into her best friends eyes.

He looked at her and gave an evil grin, "I can't believe that you and
Beastboy have been able to resist each other for this long." The
mechanical man booked it to Beastboy's room before Raven could send
him into another dimension.

-----------------------

All of the titans looked awesome. Robin wore a regular black suit with
a violet tie to match Starfires gown. Beastboy had a super dark green
tux. They all looked pretty spiffay.

"Speech, Speech, Speech," All the titans chanted after the 5 were
presented. The crowd of friends demanded each of the titans give their
own speech. Robin, being the leader, was in order to go first.

"You guys are my family. Going into this Team, I thought I was
destined to be alone. You guys showed me that being alone, does not
make you stronger. I have made life long friends on this journey we
continue to take. I have also found the love of my life, "Robin took
Stars' hand as the Tamaranian blushed, "I know that we will continue
to give justice and hope to the world."

The whole group went wild and Robin backed up to join the other four
in their line. Starfire was next to give a speech. Robin had to stop
her halfway in because of how she was dragging. The crowd gave a
chuckle as the Tamaranians face turned red once again.

After Star was Cyborg. His speech was short, like Robins. It was
obvious that his speech touched the heart of some of the crowd
members. Bumblebee was a mess. Then came Raven. Her speech pointed on
her half-demon self. She went into the Team knowing she would bring
destruction to the world, but they loved her anyway.

Finally came Beastboy. You can't have a Beastboy speech without a few
corny jokes. After the pity laughter went down, he dove into the
heart-felt stuff, "I never knew what a real family was, until I was a
titan. These wonderful people taught me what true friendship is, and I
will never forget that. I especially want to thank Raven. She taught
me self-control. No matter how hard it is to hold on, you have to keep
your eye on what matters. The people matter. I love them more than
anything in the world."

Starfire was a wreck. Her face was stained black from mascara. Every
titan was in tears. There was a slight moment of silence before the
crowd erupted in applause. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg piled in on
Beastboy. The green changeling chuckled until he realized something
was wrong.

"Wheres Raven?" The whole team shrugged. Beastboy squeezed out of his
friends grasp and went to go look for the empath.

------------------------

Raven sat overlooking the ocean. It looked beautiful in the pale
moonlight. From the rocks below, raven took a small stone and threw it
into the blue waters. There was a slight ripple where the stone
shattered the surface. The firmiliar patter of footsteps filled her
ears. The pale girl turned around to see Beastboy. She tried to wipe
away the one tear stain on her cheek.

"I figured you'd be up here, "the changeling came and sat right next to her.

"Your speech was beautiful."

"Thanks." Beastboy flashed her his one-of-a-kind smile. The soft
melody of a slow song filled their heads. The green man got up and
offered and hand to Raven.

"Will you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

Raven looked uneasy, "I'm not the bet dancer." Her eyes shifted back
to Beastboy. The confidence in his face made her confused.

"Take my hand," The pale girl carefully took hold of his hand. He then
whisper her up into his arms. Raven blushed at the sudden closeness of
their faces.

Beastboy still wore his look of confidence, "I'm about to show you
something you've never felt before."

Then, they started their dance. Raven gasped at her friends ability to
dance. It felt like they were floating. Together, the roof became
their stage as the two twisted and twirled. Raven felt like a
princess. Beastboy made her feel like a princess.

A slight blush appeared on the green man's face when Raven rested her
head in his chest. Taking a deep breath, the changeling continued to
dance. The more they danced, the more right it felt, to the both of
them.

Raven was almost asleep. The soft rhythm of her friends heart numbed
her. He was so comforting. She felt protected as he held her in his
muscular arms. The pale girl hadn't noticed how strong he had gotten.
Her teammate was changing right before her eyes.

Beastboy was surprised at how calm Raven was. Usually, the empath
avoided him as much as she could. Now, it seemed like she was slowly
getting used to him. The changeling had also failed to notice how much
she had filled out. Her curves were more defined. Her jawbone more
straight and slim. She was beautiful. The half-demon had changed into
something more.

Raven let her eyes wonder up to Beastboys. He was amazing. He is so
loving and true and real. The green man was looking at her as well.
Her soft lips, the purple of her eyes. She glowed in the moonlight.

"Raven," Beastboy began, stopping.

"Yes, Garfield."

The changeling leaned in an kissed her. It was soft and sweet. Raven
felt the slight push of his lips They were petals on hers. The empath
pushed back deepening the kiss. Beastboy wrapped his arms around the
small of her back. Raven brought her hand up to the changelings face.

They pulled away and smiled. Raven rested her hands on the changelings chest. She felf his chisled out muscles and pulled him in for a hug. Beastboy whispered into her ear," I love you."

"I love you, too"

Cyborg stood at the top of the stairs shaking his head, "it's about time." A blast of energy threw him down the stairwell. Raven flashed Beastboy a smile and they walked back to the party, hand in hand.
