A/N: Well hello there. I haven't updated in a year... again. I'm such a mess. Well I've had NO time to write and such, blah blah. You've heard it all before. I'm sorry for anyone who was waiting; hope I made this chapter awesome for you! I've had half this written since Christmas but never got around to finishing it until now. Please excuse any grammar or spelling errors; I don't have worddoc on this computer, only wordpad. It's sad, but true. Anyway, enjoy and review :)

Make Me Over Then Break Me Down

Mall...

"I am not wearing this, Starfire." Raven's voice echoed through the dressing room as if she were calling into a dark cave, her voice muffled slightly by the doors that separated her from her overly excited friend. Starfire's bright red hair loomed near the top of the dressing room door as she tried peering in through the centimeter crack between the hinges.

"You are finished? Oh! Let me see!" Starfire hovered in the air in anticipation. Raven hoped that if she locked herself in the dressing room long enough, something pink or shiny and just leave would distract the alien. Or that she wouldn't realize that she could just fly into the dressing room from the top.

But no such luck came.

Raven grumbled to herself as Starfire landed beside her in an unusually graceless manner. Starfire looked Raven over with a critical eye before shaking her head in what appeared to be dissatisfaction, much to Raven's surprise. To her dismay, however, the headshake was actually in approval.

"Oh my I do surprise myself!" Starfire exclaimed, "You look ravishing!"

Raven glanced in the full-length mirror once more. Starfire had picked out a rather tight pink t-shirt, that barely covered her mid-drift, exposing her flat pale stomach. The shirt hugged her breasts uncomfortably and the v-neck came down to her collarbone, which showed off much more cleavage than she was willing to show. Along with the hideous 'shirt', Starfire had managed to find a matching pink skirt, one that came out like a tutu. Over all, Raven felt as though she looked like a Gothic, pink, clown hooker.

Almost combusting in rage and horror, Raven took a deep breath before uttering, "There is no way..."

"Oh come now Raven! You look stunning!" Starfire interrupted as she lifted Raven's shirt a bit more, just above her navel. Raven gave out an uncharacteristic yelp and pulled the shirt back down, only causing the shirt to show more cleavage. "No! I'm not wearing this. I look ridiculous!"

Pouting, Starfire sniffled a bit and gave Raven an exasperated look. "Oh. Okay. I shall search for another outfit." She flew up again and out of the dressing room, her shoulders slumped and exuding disappointment. Raven sighed in relief and partially in guilt. She hadn't meant to hurt her friend's feelings, but if she would sooner have her father rampage over the city than wear that outfit in public. Or in front of Beast Boy.

Shaking the very idea of dressing that way in front of any man, Raven removed the dreaded pink attire from her person. She sat down on the bench the room contained and waited for Starfire's return. She hadn't bothered to put her usual leotard back on, since Starfire was quick when it came to these things. So there Raven sat in her underwear, cloak draped over her shoulders like a blanket in case some ditzy saleswoman decided to barge in.

Like clockwork, Starfire came barging in with a new borage of brightly colored clothes. Dresses, baby doll tees, and short shorts towered over the fiery redhead, hiding her face from her pale counterpart. Raven's eyes widened slightly as she took in the piles' size and as it came crashing down upon her.

"Agh!" Raven grunted as she was showered in glittery tops. Starfire blinked and dug her friend out with her superhuman agility.

"Raven! I apologize!" she said as she watched Raven remove a pair of neon green leggings from her head.

"Yeah, no problem," Raven's voice oozed sarcasm as she threw the leggings to the side in disgust. Looking around again, Raven looked up at Starfire questioningly.

"No offense Starfire, but do you think you could stop picking out clothes that are so..." Raven picked up a blindingly pink halter with the words 'Juicy' printed on the front in glitter, "bright?"

Starfire looked at her for a moment, as if deciding if she should ignore her dark friend's request or if it was even a possibility to not find something bright at 'Super Sassy Girl Boutique'.

Realizing the same thing, Raven lifted her finger in the air with authority, "We could leave."

"MARVELOUS!" Starfire cried as she grabbed Raven's wrist, already dragging her half way out of the dressing room. Raven let out her second uncharacteristic squeak of the day.

"Starfire! I'm not dressed!" Raven yanked her hand back and hurried back into the dressing room. Quickly getting dressed, Raven returned to her friend, a slight blush graced her cheeks as she silently fumed at her friend for practically parading her half nakedness to the world. Apologizing again, Starfire quickly grabbed Raven's wrist and began to drag her towards another store. As Starfire dragged Raven out of the store, she looked up into the afternoon sky. To her left she saw a giant black puff of smoke beginning to form, but where was it coming from...

Titans Tower...

"No way," Beastboy stated calmly as he stared up at the outfit Cyborg had chosen for him.

"And why, my little green vegetable, not?" Cyborg was getting tired of this; they had been searching through clothes for hours. They even had to ask Robin to help out! Robin, who was suddenly realizing that he himself needed to go clothes shopping. One could only wear the same uniform so many times before it became... predictable.

"It's stupid!" Beastboy explained, pointing to the loose t-shirt that was clearly too large for his petite frame and the dingy jeans that were ripped at the bottom. He flailed his arms about in the air like a bird before collapsing backwards onto the bed he sat upon. Sighing, he ran his hand over his face in agitation.

Cyborg grumbled something obscene under his breath and went back to the closet where Robin was. Robin looked over the outfit that Cyborg was putting away with the same reaction as Beastboy. It wasn't as bad as Beastboy had made it out to be, but he did see why he wouldn't want to wear it. Grabbing a pair of his own 'good jeans', the only one he owned really, Robin threw them at Beastboy.

"Try those on," he said as he rummaged though his closet to see if he owned any shirt that didn't have his signature 'R' printed on it.

Sighing once more, Beastboy removed the jeans he was currently sporting and replaces them with the snugger jeans that Robin had handed him. He had to admit, the jeans fit pretty fantastically. They also showed off his muscular thighs and small butt in the most flattering way. Giggling like a teenage girl who just found the prom dress of her dreams, Beastboy modeled the jeans in from of the mirror.

"Robin, these are great!" Beastboy said as he turned his back towards the other two males, "But does it make my butt look fat?"

Cyborg threw a pillow at Beastboy's head, who only transformed into a bird and dodged it. Turning back to normal, Beastboy glared at Cyborg, "I was joking, you overgrown toaster!"

Cyborg just rolled his eyes and turned back to Robin, who had FINALLY found a shirt that didn't bare his name. Glancing at it quickly, Beastboy tried it on and looked at the mirror once more. Wiping a false tear from his eye, he sniffled and turned to his best friends, "I-it's... PERFECT!"

"You sure are going though a lot of trouble to impress Raven, Beastboy. To be honest, I'm sure she won't even care what you wear or look like. Aren't you both just going as friends anyway?" Robin questioned as Beastboy checked himself out in the mirror repeatedly. Turning to Robin, Beastboy thought for a moment.

"I know, Robin. I just want to look nice for once, okay? My normal uniform is kinda..."

"Stupid? Fruity? Way too tight? Dirty? Smelly?" Cyborg contributed.

"Predictable." Beastboy finished, ignoring his friend's taunting words. Robin accepted the answer and went on to cleaning up the mess they had made.

"Well I hope it goes well for you two. Let's get this place cleaned up for when the girls come back." Robin grabbed a few stray shirts and began to put them away. Cyborg and Beastboy nodded, picking up clothing as they went about the room. Beastboy changed back into his normal uniform, just as the Titan's alarm went off. Running towards the master computer, Robin looked to see where there was trouble.

"Downtown, near the power plants! Titans GO!" Robin, Cyborg and Beastboy began to head out the door when Beastboy stopped suddenly.

"What about the girls?" he called to Robin and Cyborg.

"I've already sent them a alert, they should be there once we get there." Robin answered as he jumped onto his motorcycle. Nodding, Beastboy transformed into a hawk and flew towards the power plant. Nervously, Beastboy flew as quickly as he could. The power plant was only several blocks away from the mall...
