"I'll just be over there," you say as you nod to an empty table nearby.

You get up and walk over before answering the call. Your sisters appear in the projection and look uncharacteristically worried.

"Roselind, Rebecca, what's wrong?" you say. "Did something happen to Grandma Ruth? Did Grandpa Goggins wander off again?"

"We got the guest list for Father's birthday party," Roselind says.

"Oh," you say. "Is that all?"

"Don't take it so lightly, Rory," Rebecca says sternly. "They're all coming to talk the betrothal."

"Yes but we all knew that the last time we talked."

"No, you don't understand," Roselind says. "They're all coming."

"Wait. All? As in, everyone?"

"Yes!" Rebecca says. "All nineteen of the other families will be coming, bringing their most eligible young women to negotiate and compete so that their candidate is your bride."

"I know the situation, thank you," you say curtly. "So... that means Regina, Ramona, Ria, Rhea, Rhonda, Raquel, Rayna, Ruby, Roberta Rhodes, Roberta Rivers, Regan, Rosario, Rhiannon, Riva, Rolanda, Roxanne, Riley and Renee are all coming to see me."

"Don't forget some of their cousins, like Remelia, Rowena and Rona," Roselind says.

You sigh, but that sigh progresses into a groan that almost becomes a shout as your head lowers towards the table.

"So, what're you going to do, Rory?" Roselind asks.

"I don't really have much of a choice, do I?" you say. "I have to attend, and I have to bring Raven with me to establish our relationship in the eyes of the family. I just don't know how to do that."

"There's only a month before Father's party," Rebecca says. "You better figure out how, rather quickly."

"Talk to you later, Rory," Roselind says.

They hang up, you hang up, and put your phone away. You take a deep breath and head back towards the Titans' table.

A) Pull Raven aside to tell her
B) Tell everyone together at once
C) Wait until after dinner to do either

You sit down and see drinks are already on the table.

"Hope you don't mind, we ordered a round of cola for the table," Robin says.

"Cola's always good," you say.

You put a straw in your glass and take a long sip.

"Everything alright?" Raven asks quietly.

"I'd answer 'yes' but I'm sure your Empathy would see through it," you say.

"It's about 'that', isn't it?"

"Yes, but we can talk later," you say. "I wouldn't want it spoiling our appetites."

Raven nods and sips her own glass of soda.

"So who were you talking to on the phone?" Robin asks.

"Also how did you get it to be a projection?" Cyborg asks.

"Oh those were just my sisters," you say, "Rebecca and Roselind. And the projection is possible because it's a 'Magi-Phone', an invention of my grandfather's."

"How come our communicators don't have projection abilities?" Beast Boy says.

"Because they aren't magic," Cyborg says.

"You should still try to make them be able to project," Beast Boy says as Gino the waiter appears with large platters of pizza.

"Here you go," Gino says as he sets them down. "Three meat pizza, and three cheese pizza for Beast Boy."

You marvel at the fresh, greasy pepperoni and bacon bits. Everyone digs in, pulling slices from the whole and letting the melty, gooey cheese become strings. You plop your slice down on the little plate in frnot of you and lick the grease off your fingers. You wipe your fingers with a napkin and then pick your slice back up to take a bite.

"You were right before," you say, "this is even better fresh. I wasn't sure it was possible but it was."

"You fold it?" Beast Boy says as you take another bite.

"Mhm," you nod as you chew; you take time to chew and then swallow before continuing. "I didn't travel through Italy on my personal travels, but my family has spent holiday there many times. We learned that the 'proper' way to eat a slice of pizza is to fold it, so as to prevent it from drooping."

"Oh...!" the group says.

Everyone folds their slices, and are mildy amazed at how the ends no longer limply hang down.

"So," Beast Boy says as he bites into his folded slice. "You've been to Italy, and parts of Europe, and China and Japan, but have you been anywhere else?"

"The family and I have taken trips to various tropical locations," you say. "Hawaii, the Caribbean, and even Aruba."

"Sweet!" he says through cheesy teeth.

"I wish we could take the vacation," Starfire says. "It would be so wonderful if we could take a trip to the hot spring planet of Norivon."

"Hot springs, huh?" Robin says.

"Hmm..." you say.

Raven looks at you, you stop thinking what you were thinking.

"So I'd been meaning to ask since you two got back from your road trip," Robin says, "but you two went through Santa Cruz and Hollywood, right?"

"Right," you say. "Oh, we should've mentioned that we met Aqualad while in Santa Cruz. He says 'hello'."

"Right," Raven says. "He tracked down a villain by the name King Shark, and we helped him apprehend them."

"Whoa," Beast Boy says. "What was King Shark like?"

"Oh he was a hulking monster with the arms and legs of a man but the rest of him was a shark, including the rows of razor sharp teeth," you describe. "But the three of us handled him pretty well."
---

"Even with you two playing a game of 'who's the alpha male?'" Raven smirks.

"It actually played into why she smacked you two when we got back," you mutter to Beast Boy and Cyborg.

They nod understandingly.

"We encountered King Shark first, actually," you continue. "We were enjoying the beach until he appeared."

"Obviously we thought he was just a real shark at first," Raven says. "We had to save some kids on surfboards."

"After defeating King Shark, we got to enjoy the boardwalk," you say. "Well, Aqualad was still around so we didn't to enjoy it too much."

"Oh c'mon," Raven says, "you know you enjoyed annoying him."

You and Raven chuckle, the others try following along.

"What'd you do?" Beast Boy asks.

"Well we kinda ditched him on the Ferris Wheel," you say. "He got stuck with a rather chatty little thing while we had a nice, peaceful ride."

"But the real fun was Rorek winning a stuffed animal for me," Raven smiles.

"What kind of animal is it?" Starfire asks.

"This really long pink-and-red snake," Raven says. "It's so long I can wrap it around like a scarf."

"Wait, you never smiled when I won you the chicken," Beast Boy says.

"Because it was a chicken," Raven says.

"What's wrong with chickens?" he asks.

"She never told you she doesn't like chickens?" you say. "She's allergic to them."

"No," he says. "You should've said you were allergic to chickens."

"Well it was either the big fake chicken or the big teddy bear. Not really a fan of teddy bears any more than chickens."

"Really?" you say. "Well it's a good thing I went with the snake, then, because there were teddy bears there."

"Well, I probably would've accepted it, since it would've been from you," Raven says.

"Aw c'mon," Beast Boy pouts.

You all chuckle together now.

"After Santa Cruz was Los Angeles and Hollywood," you say. "We did some standard sightseeing, and... also the Museum of Death. That's where I got Raven the shirts. I also got some things for my sisters."

"Where'd you get her those shorts she had?" Beast Boy asks.

"Oh those were made from her cloak," you say. "It was clothing alchemy."

"You can do that?" Cyborg asks.

"Man, magic's super cool," Beast Boy says.

"Yeah, especially the stuff Rorek's family business is doing," Raven says. "But apparently it's 'top secret' so we can't say what."

"Yes, the way we use magic to power a freezer is highly confidential," you smirk.

"So this is the part where you two stayed overnight somewhere, right?" Robin asks.

"Yes, a nice motel in Paso Robles," you say.

The group is quiet, and Raven looks at you with uncertainty.

"And...?" Robin says as the others lean in with anticipation.

A) Tell the truth about the one room
B) Blatantly lie and say there were two rooms
---

A.

Never said one bed.

"And..." you say, "we had to stay in the same room because they had filled all the other rooms."

Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire let out hushed gasps.

"It still had two beds," Raven adds.

"Yes, two beds," you say. "We stayed on our sides of the room and respected each other's privacy."

"Oh..." the others say, apparently not believing you.

"Guys, c'mon," Raven says. "Nothing like what you're thinking happened."

"Y'know my sisters had a similar reaction when I called them that night," you say.

"Did they?" Raven says with a giggle.

"Yes, and they didn't really believe me any better than that Titans," you chuckle.

"Well you made the call in the hallway while I showered, otherwise I would've vouched for you."

At the mention of the shower, the guys look at you with a mix of sly commendation, and a bit of protective ire.

"He didn't see anything," Raven says. "And I didn't see anything of his when he showered in the morning, because he put up a bedsheet to be a curtain."

"Yes, I put up a bedsheet as a curtain," you confirm.

The guys relax, believing it because Raven is the one saying it.

"After that it was just a relaxing ride back into town before Mad Mod made everyone participate in his wrestling promotion," you say.

"Don't remind me," Raven and Beast Boy both say.

"Are you perhaps embarrassed by the way your double behaved?" Starfire asks Raven.

"Yes," Raven grimaces.

"Was it her way of speaking or way of dressing?" Starfire continues.

"Both," Raven grumbles. "What was even the point of her?"

"I believe this reaction has something to do with it," you say.

Raven pouts, but you and the others smirk or chuckle.

Everyone continues eating and eventually has their fill. Tamaranians must have strong appetites because Starfire ate the most for being so slender. Gino packs the leftovers into boxes for the group, and then the Titans take out their communicators. You look at Raven's as the communicator becomes a digital wallet.

"Usual price, Gino?" Robin asks.

"Yep," Gino says.

Raven and the others press buttons and it looks as if each Titan gives up $5.

"You got $5, Rorek?" Robin asks.

"Um, yes," you say as you pull out a bill. "So, how...?"

"The money was put into Pizza Corner's account," Robin says, "but you can still give the $5 to Gino."

"Alright," you do as you give the waiter the $5 bill. "Also, let me take care of the tip. $30 makes for..."

You pull out $6 all in single $1 bills.

"Wow, 20 percent," Gino says. "Thank you!"

"Well the pizza was so good, I couldn't possibly give less," you say.

Gino takes the money and returns downstairs while everyone at the table finishes up. Cyborg carries the pizza boxes as the six of you head downstairs.

"Thanks for coming!" the hefty man at the counter says. "See you again, huh?"

"Thanks again, Filippo," Robin says.

"Arrivederci," you say.

"Eyyy!" Filippo grins. "Arrivederci, amico! Buona giornata!"

"Buona giornata," you reply.

"Guess we should've figured you knew Italian," Beast Boy says.

You return to Shadowfax and the T-Car and return to Titan's Tower. Once the vehicles are parked in the garage, you return to the top floor via the elevator.

A) Pull Raven aside to bring up Father's birthday and the 19 families
B) Tell everyone together about Father's birthday and the 19 families
C) Worry about it at the end of the afternoon


also ignore that I put "dinner" in stuff earlier, it's still like 1PM for them. dinner is still to come.

Raven should know first
---

A

"Um, Raven," you say as the others head to Ops. "Could we talk in private?"

Raven has a knowing look on her face.

"Sure," she says.

You two split off and head for Raven's room while the guys go into Ops and Starfire goes off towards her room.

"We both know what this is about so I'm just going to get right to it," you say as you stop in front of her door. "My 18th birthday isn't for another 10 weeks, and that is the traditional deadline for this issue. However, all 19 prospective families involved are coverging at my father's birthday party in a month to discuss the engagement."

"Oh, okay s-- nineteen?!"

"Raven, stay calm," you say quickly as her aura starts to flare up into flames.

"You didn't say there were nineteen girls out there waiting to marry you!" she hisses.

"Actually it's closer to 25 girls, as some families have multiple-- No, nevermind that! The number means nothing because I wasn't planning to marry any of them, remember?!"

"How can you say the number means nothing?!" Raven says. "You're telling me we have to defend our relationship to 19 sets of parents! How did that number even get that high?!"

"It is true that the circle grew smaller as some families were taken into the Nulls, and others eventually faded away," you say. "However, as the world became more open and connected over time, the circle expanded again to include more families of wealth and prominence from around the world. Simultaneously, magic was 'dying out', so the circle also made sure to include many new magical families."

"Oh so it's an international smorgasbord of wealth and magic," Raven says sarcastically. "And here I am, the daughter of a dead demon. Looks so good on a résumé."

"Raven, please," you say as you wrap her in your arms. "You just told me the most heart-wrenching story of how you overcame that very demon. You know you're not like him, I know you're not like him. Those 19 other families have no reason to doubt you, or us. And if anyone does, we can just kick them out of the circle."

"You can do that?"

"Of course," you say. "I'm Rorek the Seventh."

Raven smiles and then wraps her arms around you.

"So," she says, "this is all happening a month from now?"

"Yes. I was thinking that we could take a trip there, you meet my family, we attend the party and shut down the arranged marriages."

"You make it sound so simple," Raven smirks. "Do you want to tell the others now or...?"

A) Yes, tell them now
B) No, tell them with dinner
---

B... It can wait

B)

A.

"No, we can wait until dinner," you say. "Which will likely be either leftover pizza or leftover Chinese food."

"Okay," she says. "But what do we do until then?"

You two stand there, thinking quietly on how to spend your time.

"Oh I have an idea," she says. "Let's listen to music, 'jam out' to KISS like you suggested. Maybe I could see more of your art."

"Yes, that's a very good idea," you say.

You lead her to your room and enter inside. You go to your knapsack and bring out your mp3 and speakers. You put them on the table and start it up, going to the first KISS song on the list.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XfRjVo5wOE

"Rock and Roll All Nite from 1975," you say as you join Raven sitting on the bed.

Raven starts bobbing her head with the music and you're both all smiles and laughs.

"You keep on shou~tin', you~ keep on shoutin!" you sing along. "... I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day! I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day!"

"Okay, what about the art?" Raven giggles.

"Well I have an idea, actually," you say. "You did well with those stencils made out of magical energy, so I'm thinking we can take it a step further."

"A step further? How?"

"Have you ever tried making your aura move like a fluid?"

You recline back on the bed and make your aura move like water, going from your hand and into the air like droplets. The droplets gather and swirl, lighting the room and casting shadows. Raven marvels as you reshape the blob into sharp shapes like triangles and cubes, and smooth shapes of spheres and spirals.

Raven reclines back and rests beside you as she focus on her own aura. It gathers in her hands, but clings thickly like a syrup.

"Just relax," you say. "Fluidity. Tranquility."

Raven takes a quick but deep breath. She closes her eyes, and her aura thins out to move off of her hands like... well not water, but it isn't as thick as syrup. Perhaps like melted ice cream. She gathers her aura and starts swirling it around. You swirl your aura around hers, making yours spiral around and around while Raven has hers fly randomly around the room.

"You keep on shou~tin', you~ keep on shoutin!" Raven sings along as you do. "... I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day! I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day!"

You make your aura like a tunnel, and Raven has her aura pass through it until it becomes a ring of constantly moving aura. You change the shape of your tunnel so that it becomes a ring, and you now have the shining white ring and shadowy black ring linked together.

"I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day! I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day! I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day! I~! Wanna rock 'n' roll all night~! And party e-ve-ry day!"

You unlink your ring and make it a spiral again to wrap tightly all the way around Raven's black ring.

"Oh~," she says. "How oddly... intimate."

You two look at each other and smile. She even bites her bottom lip a little, driving you a little wild.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSm2trpfDVE

"Wait, that's not KISS," Raven chuckles.

"Oh, I must still have it on random. Quick, form piano keys with me!"

You use your aura as the white keys, and Raven makes the black keys and even properly spaces them out. You then make them depress as if you're actually playing the notes yourself.
---

"When I was, a young boy," you sing with your only slightly off-tune voice, "My father, took me into the city, to see a marching band. He said, 'Son when, you grow up. Would you be, the savior of the broken, The beaten, and the damned?'

"He said 'Will you, defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers. The plans that they have made? Because one day, I'll leave you. A phantom, to lead you in the summer. To join The Black Parade!"

The piano immediately becomes drums and guitars, as you and Raven visualize with your auras.

"When I was! A young boy!" you and Raven quietly shout, "My father! Took me into the city. To see a marching band! He said, 'Son when! You grow up! Would you be?! The saviour of the broken!
The beaten and the damned?!'"

You and Raven then burst into laughter after you pretend to finish the guitar solo.

"Didn't think you'd be into My Chemical Romance," Raven says.

"Something tells me I should've known you would be," you grin.

"Well, Museum of Death, Hitchcock, telling you I liked MCR would've made me seem cliche," she playfully smiles back.

You continue rocking out with the song as you make your auras form spiked spheres and sharp zig-zags.

"What song is next?" she asks.

You sit up and check your player.

"Oh, duh, random means it won't know until it chooses," you say with a laugh. "Hold on, let me cue up..."

A) Blue Swede - Hooked on a Feeling
B) The Darkness - I Believe in a Thing Called Love
C) more MCR

"What?" Raven says while laughing.

"I can't stop this feeling~. Deep insi~de of me~!" you lip sync this time. "Girl, you just don't realize... What you do to me~. When you hold me~, in your arms so tight, you let me know~.
Everything's all right~. AAA-AAaa-aa-am, hooked on a feelin'! I'm high on belie~vin'! That you're in love with MEEE~!"

Raven laughs as you saunter and swagger back over.

"Lips as sweet as candy," you say as you slink up to her on the bed. "Its taste is on my mind~! Girl, you got me thirsty, for another~ cup o' wine!"

"Got a bug from you girl," Raven lip syncs. "But I don't need no cure~! I'll just stay a victim, if I can for sureeee oh whoa ho~!"

"All the good love," you continue as she reclines and you hover over her, "when we're all alone~! Keep it up girl! Yeah, you turn me on~!"

"AAA-AAaa-aa-am, hooked on a feelin'!" you both lip sync as she smooths her legs against yours. "I'm high on belie~vin'! That you're in love with MEEE~!"

In the short musical solo, you turn and rest on your side, sliding an arm under Raven and pulling her close.

"All the good love," you actually say now, "when we're all alone~! Keep it up girl! Yeah, you turn me on~!"

As the chorus starts again, you lunge and start kissing her on her neck. She lets out an excited gasp, and you keep going even after the song fades to an end and a new one begins.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a8VonQtVuM

"Wait," Raven says with a confused smile. "What is that?"

"Um... Peppermint Creams by Ninja Sex Party..."

"Who?" she asks as she laughs.

"Ninja Sex Party," you say. "Danny 'Sexbang' Avidan and 'Ninja' Brian Wecht..."

Raven listens to the song with a skeptical smirk.

(Oooooooh~!) Talkin' 'bout yer boobies~! (Ooooh~!)
The peppermint creams are your boobies! Your boob-a-licious boobies~!
OH GOD! God I just wanna get at those boobies ONE TIME! (Ooooo-OOOH!)

Raven is holding her stomach she's laughing so hard.

"Is this seriously in your mp3 player?" she asks.

"It's a great song, isn't it?" you ask with a big goofy grin, making Raven laugh more. "It gets better."

(Oooooooh~!) Also your butt! The term peppermint creams~!
Also refers to your sweet butt, OH~! Your asscheeks from Heaven!
NRAAAH! Which do I like more, your boobs or your butt?
God Above don't make me choose I'd rather die than choose I'd rather fuckin' die!

Raven is laughing so hard now, she somewhat wheezes with her inhales.

"Why... Why do you have this song on your mp3 player?!" she says through the laughter.

"Because it's funny," you say. "You're laughing, aren't you?"

And I will always~ love~ youuuuuuur boobs. I just realized I like the boobs more.

Raven goes into another fit of laughter, though she's short of breath. She stops herself to breathe and prop herself up on her elbows.

"Okay," she says. "Which do you choose?"

"Which of what?"

"What song do you think we were just listening to?" she says.

"Oh yes, okay," you say. "Um... Are we talking in general or...?"

"Mine, obviously," she says. "Though... I bet I know which you'll choose. You had a lot of fun with them last night."

She bites her lower lip again as she smiles. You grin and chuckle, then contemplate her question.
---

"C'mon, answer the question!" she says.

"Hold on, I'm thinking," you chuckle. "So anxious."

A) You're a Boob Man
B) You're an Ass Man
C) You're an Everything Man

"I'd have to say I'm an Everything Man."

"That's such a cop out," she says.

"No it's not," you defend.

"Yes it is," she says. "There's no way you're attracted to everything."

"You're right," you say. "I don't have a foot fetish."

Raven laughs as she lies flat on the bed.

"You like 'everything'?" she asks with skepticism. "Aside from feet, which is fine by me, actually."

"Yes," you say. "And good to know, by the way. But yes, I like everything. Your beautiful face, with these full lips, purple eyes and cute little ears."

"Ears?" she giggles as you brush the back of your fingers against the helix and lobe of one ear.

"Yes, I've found myself to be a bit of an ear nibbler," you say as you move in closer.

Raven lets out a soft yet excited gasp as you nip her ear.

"I like the neck and shoulders," you say as you continue down. "I like your arms, so slender and strong. I like your hands, so soft and gentle."

You take her hand in yours and kiss the back of her fingers and then the palm.

"I like the back of your shoulders, and your back itself. It looked so fit and lean, it was sublime to see."

"Really?" she says with a bit of a blush.

"Yes, really," you say. "It's sexy just how fit you are without actually being in shape."

"Tha-- Hey...!"

Raven still smiles and chuckles despite her pout.

"I also like these legs," you say as you smooth a finger across her knee. "From the calves to the knees to the supple thighs."

"Supple...?" she blushes more.

"For that matter, your skin that covers all of this," you say. "Soft, smooth, vibrant with life."

You tickle her thighs, Raven giggles and squeals, and a spark fires off from her aura. It doesn't hit anything so you two have a laugh of relief.

"I do have to wonder," you say. "What does your soft, smooth and vibrant skin look like on this flat stomach of yours? Not to mention some other more... ample, shapely parts."

You slide a hand up her side and stop just under her chest.

"Rorek, you cad~!" she says teaslingly. "We had some fun already but it hasn't even been a week yet. I don't know what you've heard about demon girls but we're not all fast and loose."

"Why, Raven," you chuckle, "are you using humor?"

"Maybe," she smiles.

"Well there is some truth to what you said," you say. "I shouldn't push you. I leave it up to you when we get to the next phase of our relationship."

"Thank you, that's very gentlemanly of you," she says.

"You're welcome, and thank you back for that compliment," you say.

You two rest on the bed quietly.

"Well, since it's up to me," Raven says.

Your eyes widen as you look over at her.

"Cool down, Mr. Gentleman," she chuckles. "I'm just saying we... try that next phase."

"O-Okay," you nod.

"But even though you're an 'Everything Man'," she says as she sits up, "you only get one right now."

"One?"

"Yes," she says. "You only get one of the peppermint creams."

"Peppermint--? Oh right, like in the song. Sorry, I'm just, having a hard time thinking right now. Um..."

A) Top Peppermint Creams
B) Bottom Peppermint Creams
C) Save these Peppermint Creams for later

"The bottom," you say as you lunge for her hips.

"Hey, wait," she giggles as she keeps you back. "Sit..."

You scoot back and sit up straight.

"Good," she says with a sly smirk. "Now, do you have any songs to set the mood?"

"Set the mood?"

"Oh c'mon," she says as she looks at your mp3 player. "As a guy, even as a gentleman, you must have something of a serious tone for... just such an occasion."

"You could try Queen, Fat Bottomed Girls."

"Fat?" she says looking over her shoulder at you.

"Not in a bad way," you say. "Have you never listened to that song?"

"Well, how about...?"

She walks backward towards you, moving her cloak aside to unveil her glorious rear. She then presses the play button on your player.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17O3lL1aUrg

"You're telling me you don't like Fat Bottomed Girls but you'll use that?" you say. "Wait, now it makes sense! Ravella is totally part of you! The guilty pleasure of liking rap and hip hop!"

"Don't poke fun," she says as she floats the player back to the table. "Just strap in for the ride."

"What-- What?!"

Raven sits on your lap, bounces then grinds, and you feel a rush of blood to a very particular area.

"R-R-Raven, I-I..."

"Hands at your sides, 'Rory'," she says as she looks over her shoulder again. "You'll get to use them soon enough."

"Have... How are you this good?"

"Am I good, or have you just never had this?" she counters.

"When you put it that way, I don't know."

You recline back onto your elbows as she keeps going. You look down and watch her grind and swivel around.

"Oh... My gosh," Raven says as she slows down. "Is that...?"

Raven's eyes widen as she smiles widely. You just quietly nod as you look to the side.

"Then I should probably go ahead and stop with this," she chuckles as she moves off your lap. "But if want..."

After only two seconds of Raven lying on her stomach, you pounce on her, your hands grabbing on to her hips, thighs and buttocks!

"Whoa, Rorek, oh my gosh," she says with shock, excitement and embarrassment. "Mmm, yes, massage my legs. They're still a little sore from the workout."

You squeeze and knead her thighs, and Raven hums and moans with delight.

"Raven," you say. "Your... Your ass is bloody divine!"

Raven laughs as you wrap your arms around her waist and spoon with her.

"Whatever this is I unleashed in you," she says, "I think I like it."

"I think I'm liking it, too," you say as you pull her in closer.

You two laugh softly as you nip her ear and press against her.

"Okay, save something for later," she says as she slips out of your arms.

"Aww..." you playfully pout.

"Let's have dinner, and announce our little trip," she says as she smooths out her cloak.

"Yes, good idea," you say as you follow her to the door.

You two go back to Ops and see the guys are still in the room.

"Could you call Starfire in for dinner?" you ask. "We've got something to tell everyone."

"We?" Robin says.

"The two of us," Raven says as you go to the fridge and bring out

A) the pizza
B) the Chinese food

A

You take out a couple slices of the three meat and put them on a plate. You pop that in the microwave and have it heat them up.

"Hey, Starfire," Robin says into his communicator. "Could you come into Ops? We're going to have dinner while Raven and Rorek tell us some news."

"I will be right there!"

Starfire zips into the room, Silkie in her arms and her eyes wide and bright.

"What is this news Raven and Rorek wish to share?" she asks eagerly.

"Well, there's a long explanation that leads up to that," you say.

"Rorek has roughly 20 girls waiting to be put in an arranged marriage with him," she says.

"What?!" the group blurts. "20?!"

"Raven!" you say.

"What?" she says. "That's the gist of it."

"But I was going to tell them why," you say.

"It's because his family is keeping to an archaic tradition in the name of preserving his family's aristocratic status," she tells the others.

"Which I don't agree with," you say. "It's a tradition that's been going on since before Rorek the Fifth. My grandfather, Rorek the Sixth, was the only one to defy it but not even he could break it. Now it's looming over my head with just ten weeks until my 18th birthday, which is the deadline."

"Dude what?!" Beast Boy says.

"Didn't we tell you not to mess around?!" Cyborg says.

"Everyone calm down," Raven says. "Rorek and I worked this out on that roadtrip we took. If he wasn't able to find someone he actually loved, he was never going to return home."

"Oh," Robin says.

"That is, as my people would say, 'shunar'," Starfire says. "In English, it is something so incredibly heartbreaking, that it could keep even a young one flightless for weeks."

"How is that?" you ask.

"Tamaraneans use emotions to fuel their powers, and joy fuels flight," Raven explains. "Therefore, your family's tradition is super depressing."

"I understood after the first half of that explanation, but thank you for adding the latter half."

*beep beep beep* The microwave finishes. You get your dinner out of the microwave and everyone else takes turns reheating slices for themselves.

"So, if your birthday is the deadline," Robin says, "but your birthday isn't for another ten weeks, why tell us now?"

"Because in only four weeks," you say, "it will be my father's birthday. And the 20 families involved, my family and the 19 others with single young women to marry off, are all meeting at the Null Family manor to decide my fate."

"Therefore, Rorek and I are going there to tell those 20 some odd other girls to back off," Raven says before aggressively taking a bite out of a slice.

"Because he yo man now, gurl," Beast Boy says with a smirk and sassy head bobbing.

"Damn right," Raven says, starting to slip into Ravella.

"Mmmhmmm," Cyborg says with his own sassy head bob.

"Wait what're we even doing?" Raven says, breaking into laughter.

"I don't know, I'm British," you say.

Everyone laughs together now. You take your first bite of the pizza and are amazed that even reheated it is still so good.

"Okay wait," Beast Boy says. "You've got a month still until you've got to go. What're you supposed to do in the meantime?"

"Well, I need to find a quality gift for my father now that we're not arguing over things," you say. "Something that will also make up for the cheap and repetitive gifts I got him when we were arguing. At the same time, there's the matter of traveling home. We can take an airplane most of the way, but there is the matter of transporting Shadowfax."

"Well we can go to Coast City for that," Raven says.

"Right, Ferris Air," you say. "Other than that, there are some things I might have to teach you so you'll be prepared for the formal party that my family will be hosting."

"Such as...?"

A) Fine dining
B) Dancing

"Dancing," you say.

"Dancing," Raven repeats with a curious eyebrow.

"Yes," you say, "ballroom, waltz, things of that nature. It'll be expected of us. This is a formal dinner party, practically a formal ball really."

"Dancing," Raven repeats again.

"Why do you keep saying it that way?" you say. "You'll be fine."

"Can we watch?" Beast Boy asks.

Raven slowly turns her head to glare at him.

"Please, Raven?" Starfire asks. "In fact, I would love to learn of this waltz. Wouldn't you, Robin?"

"Sure," he shrugs. "When do you plan on starting these lessons?"

"We'll start lessons in the morning," you say. "Give everyone a chance to rest up."

Everyone seems excited, outside of Raven.

"Don't worry," you say to her quietly. "We've got a lot of time to practice. By the time we arrive in London, you'll be wonderful."

Raven doesn't reply, she just continues eating pizza.

"So your family home in England has room for a dance hall?" Robin asks.

"We have a multipurpose room that's been used for many things over the years," you say. "Sometimes it is for indoor sports, sometimes it is for recitals and concerts, and one year it was for a magical summer school, but being a magical summer school that resulted in magical mishaps and we decided not to host it ever again."

Everyone shares a laugh.

"Oh, I should definitely be sure to show you the family library when we arrive," you say to Raven. "So many books from literature as well as magic, you'll love it."

"Really?" Raven says. "Will we even have time?"

"I was planning on arriving with a day or so to spare before my father's birthday," you say. "We can use those to settle in, tour the estate, get the main family on board with us, that sort of thing, and I promise we'll visit the library as part of that."

"I'll hold you to that," she says.

Everyone has their fill of pizza, and the empty boxes are put into what you assume is a recycling bin.

"Anyone up for some... vidya games!?" Beast Boy asks as he and Cyborg grin.

"Real Insect Overload~!" Cyborg shouts as he holds up the game packaging. "You in or are you in!?"

"I must first put Silkie to bed," Starfire says. "Yes, my widdle bumgorf~!"

"I'll stick around for a bit," Robin says as Starfire floats off with the giant larva in her arms.

"I dunno," Raven says as she starts to leave. "Gets a bit gross."

A) Play a few rounds
B) Follow Raven

"As fun as a game about insects sounds," you say, "I will pass."

You follow Raven as she heads for the exit.

"Well alright," Beast Boy shrugs. "Have fun~!"

Raven glares over her shoulder quickly as Beast Boy chuckles.

"It's not like that," you say as you glance back. "It's not, not... Is it? I didn't even ask what we were going to do--"

"Just go through the door," Raven says as she pulls you along.

Raven pulls you along back towards your rooms. She stops halfway between her door and yours and then lets out a sigh of exasperation.

"So, what are you we up to?" you ask.

"Um, I was either going to meditate or read," she shrugs. "But if you want--"

You immediately wrap her in your arms.

"That's not what I was going to offer," she chuckles. "I was hoping to get more personal, share more secrets or something."

"Oh... Well of course, I'm up for that."

You follow her into her room and stand around as she looks around at things.

"Well, I'm sure you're curious about the unique take on Thalia and Melpomene," she says.

"Yes, the four eyes on each of them, specifically."

"I made these while still living in Azarath," she says. "The eyes... come from my father. And, depending on the situation, I have them, too."

"Oh? Where do they come out from?"

"My eyebrows..." she says. "It's weird, I know, even I don't understand how that works. I just worry about these two eyes right here and that's all."

"Four eyes isn't the worst thing," you say. "Goat legs like how some cultures see the Devil, that would be horrible. Especially with those legs, because those are far too good to become hairy with hooves."

"Stop~," Raven laughs as she playfully pushes you with one hand. "You're such a charmer~!"

"I'm sorry?" you unassuredly apologize.

"I just mean, I don't know how to handle... flirting, and compliments, that stuff."

"That's a shame," you say as you saunter up to her. "There's so much to like about a mysterious, otherworldly, unorthodox young woman."

"Ooo, never heard 'unorthodox' used in such a charming way," she smirks as she puts her arms around your shoulders. "Use more words like that."

"Hmm... Nonconformist. Eccentric, I'd say."

"Yeah, I'll accept that," she shrugs.

She then looks around the room at other things of hers.

"A lot of this furniture is actually just stuff I found around town," she says. "Except the trunk. That's been mine since leaving Azarath, and I packed much of my personal belongings in it, like the sculpture."

"Wait, Azarath has monks, right?"

"Yeah."

"Monks don't believe in personal attachments, right? And that includes personal possessions."

"Well, yeah, but what else would you call the clothes that you and only you wear all the time?"

"Oh I guess those would have to be personal possessions. So, just your supply of cloaks, leotards, belts and shoes?"

"And the sculpture," she says.

"And the sculpture," you repeat.

"And the Book of Azar," she says. "Obviously handed down to me after she passed. It has all her teachings and words of wisdom, sometimes I look at it to remind myself of things."

"Oh, that's great," you say.

"Yeah," she says, "that way it's like she's always with me."
