Summary:"It is truth. But, truth is not always in appearance."

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

They say that good things take time to find and for Speedy that was a totally true reality. Even when he got a team and friends he believed that phase.

Even if right now the twins of his team were making him chase them for stealing his keys to his motorcycle.

"Come back here you little yellow-bellied rats!"

"Senior Speedy des Senior Beast Boy!" They bothed laughed as they sped through the kitchen and past Aqualad who was chewing on some seaweed.

"Something the matter?"

"Yeah, they know I have a date so they stole the keys to my harley!"

"You have a date?"

The red headed hero gave a frustrated sigh scratching the back of his head in annoyance.

"Yeah and I don't want to mess it up so do you think... You could help me catch the little buggers?"

The Atlantean raised in elegant eyebrow. Speedy asking him for help was something quite new.

"Sure, got any ideas as to how?"

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

An hour and a half later and Speedy had the keys to his favorite automotive piece of machinary and the twins were with Aqualad learning how to swim better.

They had it coming.

It would be his first date in a long time and he was really looking forward to it. Even if it was with a world class assassin.

But he wouldn't get hung up on the details.

He had the view of the river to keep him occupied as he waited for his new lady friend. Plus candles, romantis candle light, french bread and a tux on, so if she didn't show up he'd be really disapointed, but know it wasn't because he didn't go all out.

"Speedy?"

Turning in his chair the red headed hero caught sight of Cheshire---no, Jade in the most beautiful dress he could ever imagine seeing. Forest green in color, it reached a little above her ankles and the the sleeves were loose and reached her wrists. Almost like another version of her battle outfit, but way prettier by far.

"You look like a perfectly beautiful little lady. And you can call me Roy. I'm not in uniform." He replied standing in greeting with a small bow.

"Right. You look... nice." She replied in what seemed an embarassed sort of way. A blush creeping onto her cheeks.

There was silence for a moment. An uncomfortable silence.

"Dinner?"

"Sure."

He quickly pulled the her chair out for her, gesture of a gentleman.

"Thank you."

"No problem. What would you like to eat?"

"Anything's fine. So long as it's not poisoned."

Roy couldn't help but chuckle a little at that comment.

"I think I can manage that."

He then proceeded to order the most cliched food for first dates in the history of the world.

Spagetti.

Silence was present for a few seconds before it was Jade who brought conversation back.

"So...Why did you ask me out?"

"Well, I suppose you could say I was curious."

"'Bout what?"

"About you, your life, why you kept attacking me while I was alone. Things like that."

"Hmmm. Those seem like reasonable answers aa well as questions."

"Can you answer any of them?"

"...Yes. I think I can."

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

The dinner proceeded to move with comfortable ease, him asking questions and her answering with the ease and skill her job had built into her. He never asked her about her past, though. That wasn't safe to do on a first date.

Maybe next time. If there was a next time, that is.

They were now walking around the park that was situated about a block from the dining place they had been at.

Roy thought it seemed fitting. They were always more open with each other in places with nature around.

Even so, the scenery was not what Roy was paying attention to. Jade had his full attention, even if she was just walking with him.

"You're staring."

"Huh? Oh, sorry, it's just... God, you look pretty."

"What? Y-you don't mean that."

"Oh, but I do." His voice was firm and his face was strait, but he was blushing. God, that was such a corny sentence.

"Thank you."

A blush decorated her face, too.

Silence held them once again, but it was comfortable, even worth keeping. The moon shined over them through the tree's casting light shadows everywhere.

If this was a movie they would kiss---

Whoops, too late.

It wasn't a deep kiss, or a particularly bold kiss. Just a peck on the cheek that you might see children in kindergarden give.

But, this was truth not just something to keep up appearences.

And they both loved it.

CS- Okay so this was a little itsy-bit too fluffy, even for my taste, but I like it and I'm keeping it the way it is.

So... yeah.
