"What the Hell!?" They heard from the door. Raven looked to Robin, "It's Cyborg." She whispered. They were frozen in shock. "BB! What the hell did you put in that food." Cyborg said walking back down the steps and shutting the door behind him. The lovebirds let out sighs of relief. "That was too close." Robin said as Raven got up off of him and sat next to him. "I know." Raven said. Robin stood up and helped Raven up; he pulled her into his arms and kissed her again. "Come on," Raven began. "We wouldn't want them finding out now would we?" She said walking with him to the door. Before they entered Robin spoke up, "Raven, wait. If we're gonna keep this a secret I'll need something to hold me down `til tonight." He said before kissing her passionately on the lips. They stared into each other's eyes and then they walked down the steps into the kitchen.

Raven and Robin entered and everyone stared at them. "What?" Raven asked with an emotionless voice. Terra spoke, "What were your two doing up on the roof,… alone?" she asked with a smirk. "I was watching the sunrise and Robin joined me, after that we started talking." Raven said, glaring daggers at Terra, "Sorry, sorry I just assumed-" "You know what they say Terra," Raven began, "When you assume, you make an ass out of u and me." Raven said still glaring at her. Terra felt extremely stupid, "Uh, h-how about we just eat." She said. Everyone sat at the table. Cyborg at one end, Robin at the other, Beast Boy on Cyborg's left Terra on Robin's right. Raven was quick to get to the remaining seat beside Robin before Starfire could. Starfire was a little upset but thought nothing of it.

After breakfast, Beast Boy was racing Cyborg in a video game; Terra sat cheering on BB as Star sat doing the same for Cy. Raven was on the far couch reading a book. Robin sat to her left with a newspaper and scooted closer, grabbing Raven's hand, just to hold it close to him. This small show of affection showed Raven that what her and Robin felt for each other was far more than an infatuation, it was potential love, that was the best time Raven ever had reading a book.

At about one o' clock the Titans decided to have lunch. After that the day was actually kind of boring. Terra and Starfire decided to go to the mall, while Beast Boy and Cyborg were having a video game tournament. Robin was in the gym training and Raven was on the roof meditating. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos, Azarath Metrion Zinthos." She chanted over and over. She kept seeing images of her dream `Who is she?' thought Raven. `She is the answer to all.' A voice answered back. `Mother?' Raven thought. `Yes Raven, it is I. The girl you see protecting you, Robin and the baby in the dream is the answer to all. She is the `chosen one' so to speak.' Her mother told her telepathically. `But when will she be here?' Raven asked. `At the point of no return, she will guide you back home.' `But what does that mean?' Raven questioned. `I apologize but I cannot tell you. I must go now, I love you my daughter.' Arella said and she was gone. `I love you too mother.' Arella's words kept ringing in Raven's head. `At the point of no return, she will guide you back home.' "What does that mean?" She asked no one in particular.

"Mind if I join you?" a voice came from behind. Raven turned to see Robin at the door with a smile on his face. Raven smiled and said, "Sure c'mon." she said motioning for him to sit next to her. "Okay, not sit down Indian-style, focus your energies, find your center and; Azarath Metrion Zinthos." Robin copied Raven's form and chanted along with her. He soon found it hard to concentrate with Raven sitting right in front of him; he opened an eye and just stared at Raven's face. "Beautiful." He whispered just loud enough for Raven to hear. "Excuse me?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow. "You're just so beautiful Raven." Raven blushed as the wind played with her raven hair. "Y-you really think I'm pretty?" she asked bashfully. "No," Robin began. "I think you're beautiful." Raven smiled a shy smile and sat next to Robin, resting her head on his shoulder. "Robin?" she asked. "Yeah?" "I want to talk with you about something." She told him. "Like what?" he asked rubbing her back. "Everything," she whispered. "I want you to know me and I want to know you. I want us to know each other." She told him. "Oh, sure of course Rae. So did you want to go first?" He asked. "Sure," she told him.

"Well I was born in a place called, Azarath." She began. "My family isn't exactly a normal one," she said with a sad smile, tears brimming her eyes. Robin hugged her to ease the pain. "My father, Trigon, is the `Devil's son.' Making me the granddaughter. Trigon tries immensely to consume me in rage. My emotions are deadly." Robin saw Raven's sorrow, and realized that he might not be able to be with Raven because of her emotional problems. "But," she began, with a small smile. Robin's face filled with hope. "But, my mother, Arella, has returned from the dead to help me. She lives within my mind, protecting me from my father. Therefore I am allowed to feel emotions like a normal human." She said nearly crying out of joy. `Wow I can't believe Raven is crying, and I'm the one she opened up too.' Robin thought. "Raven, that's amazing! If anyone deserves to feel these emotions then it's you." Robin said. Raven smiled the biggest smile she ever has, and hugged Robin as if he were the only thing keeping her alive. "Thank you Robin, you have no idea how much that means to me." She said, tears now leaving trails down her face.

Once her tears were spent. Robin spoke up, "Okay, now it's my turn." Robin sat up. "My name is Dick Grayson. When I was a boy my parents and me were apart of a circus act called `The Flying Graysons'. Anyway, one day my parents were going to do their greatest stunt ever, they were going to do the tight rope. I was running around the area when I came to a tent. It was the ringleader's tent. I heard another man in there and he was threatening the ringleader." Robin paused and took a deep breath; Raven rubbed his back and urged him to continue. "He threatened to sabotage my parents stunt if his demands weren't met. The ringleader assumed he was bluffing, and told him to leave. I ran to the tent of the main event to tell my parents of the danger. But…" Robin stopped and just broke down crying in his arms, Raven hugged him and lay her head against his back. "Shhh, it's okay Robin," she said comfortingly, Robin calmed down and sat up. "You don't have to finish." Raven said. "No, I- I want to, you told me your past, no matter how painful. So I'll tell you mine, and perhaps we could find comfort in each other." Robin said quietly, "I'd like that." Raven said. Robin sat up and took a deep breath. "I-I was too late Rae, I saw them fall to their deaths, if I'd been faster-" "NO! Robin, you did the best you could everything happens for a reason. I'm not trying to make it seem like a good thing but, if that hadn't of happened you wouldn't have become Batman's apprentice, you wouldn't be Robin, you wouldn't be the leader of the Teen Titans, you wouldn't have five great friends and you wouldn't be the boy I fell in love with." Robin was stunned by Raven's words, `the boy she fell in love with?' Robin thought. "Y-you love me?" he asked. "I-I do Robin, look I'm sorry I shouldn't ha-" Raven was cut off by Robin's lips brushing against hers, "I love you too Rae." He said breathlessly. Raven pulled him in for another kiss, this kiss was more passionate and filled with love, and this kiss was everything they could have wanted. Soon their clothes began to come off and that evening they made love under the eyes of the millions of stars.

Hours later, Raven shot up in her bed. `But I was on the roof with Ro-' realizing it was all a dream she sobbed quietly, having all her dreams crushed.

How was that chap? Poor Raven, what a bizarre dream. Anyway if you wanna know what happens next REVIEW!!
