Chapter Eleven: Happy Eighteenth Birthday Raven!

(Three months later)

Raven blew as hard as she could and all eighteen candles blew out. Everyone clapped and cheered. Arella had small tears in her eyes as she hugged her daughter as Robin cut the dark blue, dark chocolate cake and put it all on plates

"I never thought I'd see this day." she said softly. Raven smiled then squeezed Beast Boy's hand

"Alright people let's eat!" Jesse yelled. She had traded the cloak for black jeans and her hands were covered with her biker gloves

"No one may eat until Raven is served!" Starfire exclaimed slapping Jesse's outstretched hand lightly. The girl stuck out her tongue then giggled

"Alright but hurry up!" Raven grinned and took her time taking the bite. The second it went into her mouth Jesse yelled and jumped on her piece.

"Alright time for presents!" Static announced. Raven grinned and started opening gifts (I'm not going into detail sorry) soon she had opened all of them but Beast Boy's. Raven looked over at him and he smiled nervously

"Mine's up on the roof and it's kinda private. Can I steal the birthday girl away for just a few minutes?" everyone nodded. As soon as they left Cyborg hurried over to the computer and pulled up the security camera and everyone settled down to watch.

Raven looked out over the water then looked up at Beast Boy

"I can't believe it's been three months." she whispered. He nodded and hugged her around the shoulders

"Rae?"

"Hm?"

"You love me right?" Raven turned around in surprise. Beast Boy looked down at her expectantly

"Of course Beast Boy. I really do. I swear it." Beast Boy smiled and stepped away from her. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. Raven frowned with curiosity. What was he doing? He knelt down on one knee

"You really mean that?"

"I never say anything I don't mean." Raven replied still wondering what was going on. Beast Boy grinned and opened the box. Inside was a thin gold ring with a small opal stone set in the middle

"Raven, will you marry me?" he asked. Raven gawked at the ring then looked at him

"I- How can we? We're only eighteen. You have to be twenty to be legally unless you have parental permission and Arella isn't a citizen." Beast Boy grinned

"Cyborg said he'd do it for us since he's twenty." Raven picked up the ring carefully then looked at the changeling

"Well are you gonna put it on or what?" he laughed and slipped it on her finger before wrapping her in a hug and kissing her.

Down in the main room everyone was laughing, crying and hugging each other

"Oh Raven." Arella whispered. Starfire was leaning on Robin's shoulder with a smile on her face. Terra and Static were dancing in a circle and Jesse was letting Gear hug her around the shoulders. Cyborg grinned like a maniac and Jinx elbowed him

"Maybe someday that'll be us." she whispered. He grinned wider and shrugged. Who knew?

Rose and Slade however stayed quiet. They watched the scene without comment but they seemed to know what the other was thinking

"If you are all done acting like ten year olds I have an announcement." Slade said. The Titans all turned to him. The man placed a hand on Rose's shoulder

"I plan to quit the villain business and stay here if you'll let me. Rose would like to join the Titans if you think she's trustworthy enough." everyone was silent until the doors hissed open and Raven and Beast Boy came in

"You are welcome to stay Slade, on my invitation if Robin refuses. As for Rose I think she's proved herself." Raven said smiling at the two. Slade had changed greatly from the madman Robin had pursued so passionately. With Raven and Jesse's herbal treatments he had slowly gained strength but it was obvious he would never be as strong as he used to be. Rose stepped forward slightly

"Well since I might become a Titan I think it's time we took off masks." she slipped off the skintight mask she wore always. Her white hair fell out and her piercing blue eyes looked into the eyes of each Titan. Robin gave a sly half grin

"I suppose you can stay. But while you're taking of mass…" his voice trailed off and Slade smirked

"It still irks you Robin? Well at least I know you still have drive." he stripped off the mask. His hair was white like Rose's and he had a beard. His right eye was covered in a black eye patch and his other eye was icy blue like his daughter's

"Nice to meet you Slade." Robin said shaking the man's hand. It seemed so strange to this close to the man without having him trying to attack

"Robin… now that Rose and Slade have removed their masks perhaps…" Starfire trailed off and Robin flushed

"Well… um…" the team waited. After a moment Gear and Static slipped their masks off

"Meet Richie and Virgle." Terra announced giggling. Now everyone looked at Robin. He felt something slip across his mind

"We're your friends Robin. Nothing goes outside this room. Do you trust us?"

Robin sighed and slid the fabric off his eyes. He blinked a few times then looked up. His friends were staring at him

"What?"

"Your eyes. They're all different colors." Jinx breathed. Robin frowned then laughed

"Oh ya. I guess I haven't paid attention for awhile. Registered they're hazel but they change from day to day. Never could figure out why." he shrugged "But more to the point my name is Richard Dick Grayson." he slid the mask back on and grinned at his friends

"Now if I'm not mistaken Beast Boy and Raven have something they want to tell us?" Raven blushed and pulled her left hand back into her cloak. Beast Boy grinned and pulled it back out

"Rae and I are getting married!"
