I have gotten out of the WITCH subject and into the Teen Titans subject. I know there are a lot of couple and pairing arguments so I'll try to keep off the who-likes-who thing. But if you notice, most of the stories on romance are about Raven and somebody. I have even seen a Raven/Starfire one…whoa.

And all these proverbs, that come in italics and are at the beginning of each chapter, are mine…original and mine. Because I seriously think that people will hate this story, I will only continue this story once I get 15 reviews, positive or not because it will tell me that people are brave enough to tell me how bad my story is. So, here goes…

Proverb: It is your responsibility to keep a secret, not anyone else's.

"It is sooo hot!" Beast Boy complained. "And there's nothing to do!"

"Other than complain? I'd like to see that," Raven raised an eyebrow after looking up from her book.

"HA! Beat you for the 1765th time this summer! You'll never beat me, Robin, NEVER!" Cyborg cackled.

"We'll just see about that," Robin reset the game. "May the best man win."

"Yeah, may—hey, wait a second! It's may the best champion win!" Cyborg argued.

"I never was a champion in this stupid game!" Robin snapped back.

"That's the point," Cyborg pointed out. "I'm going to win anyway!"

"Take that back!" Robin yelled.

"Someone's trying to read here," Raven raised her voice.

"Will anyone care to join me in the fine art of shnibbling?" Starfire asked, silence following afterward.

Raven spoke up first. "Describe that."

"It is when you move around in water," Starfire frowned, not believing that even her own friends couldn't understand her.

"That's swimming, not snibbing, or scibbling, or…or…whatever you said," Beast Boy corrected.

"Right, swimming," Starfire smiled. When she heard no answer, she started to walk away.

"You know what; I'll go swimming with you. There's nothing to do other than lose," Robin glared at Cyborg.

"Wonderful!" Starfire clasped her hands together.

"Might as well," Raven closed the book she was reading.

"Hey wait up! I'm going too!" Beast Boy shouted. "Oh and Cyborg, can you fix the AC or not? I'm starting to think that you don't have the brains to fix it, with only half a brain! Ha, ha! Get it?"

"You should look at yourself," Cyborg replied. "But anyways, you people can have fun, but I'm having more fun beating up Robin in this game! He's going to be the punchbag this time!"

"On second thought," Robin said. "No, forget about it."

"I already have all of our skim stuff by the pool," Starfire mentioned. "As a favor."

"You what?" Robin asked in shock.

"Meaning you dug through my pile of clothes?" Beast Boy exclaimed.

"And went into my room?" Robin continued.

"And didn't go into my room since I locked it?" Raven added.

Starfire nodded to each of them.

"Besides, it's swim, not skim," Raven said.

"What! You of all people—I mean aliens—went into my room?" Robin almost screamed.

"Do you happen to have any problem with my helping of you?" Starfire asked in total disbelief.

"No," Raven answered.

"So let us all go stimming!" Starfire exclaimed.

"Swimming," Raven corrected.

"Right!" Starfire agreed.

"By the way, you didn't happen to find anything personal in my room, did you?" Robin narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it was quite upsetting," Starfire replied. "Should I reveal so—?"

"NO! Final answer!" Robin covered her mouth before she said another word. "Don't dare…or else."

"Oooo…I wonder what it is!" Beast Boy said, eyeing all of them. Then, he inched closer to Raven and asked, "You're physic. What is it?"

"I know what it is," Raven replied.

"By now, Robin was sweating and kneeling down to Raven to beg for mercy.

Raven kicked Beast Boy. "Why should you know?"

Beast Boy kept bugging Raven, but with no luck. They had reached the pool.

Raven simply took off her cape and dived into the cool water. Starfire already had her pink swimsuit on, but she waited at the edge of the pool.

"Hey that's not very fair! All you do is that and then you're in!" Beast Boy complained.

"So, it's not like we care," Raven said, who was out-of-character at the moment.

By instinct, Robin grabbed his trunks and ran for the nearest bathroom, leaving Beast Boy with only the bathroom all the way downstairs.

"Why you…" Beast Boy did the same, but ran to the bathroom all the way downstairs.

Therefore, Robin was in the water before Beast Boy.

"He's probably showing off to them," Beast Boy muttered. "But never fear; Beast Boy is here!" He flipped into the shallow part of the pool, making the ending of his move very hilarious.

When Beast Boy surfaced, he saw that Starfire was still standing at the end of the pool.

"Uh…why won't you come in? The water's great!" Beast Boy asked.

"I'm afraid I don't have the knowledge of how to swim, neither have I swam before," Starfire sighed.

"Have you ever been in the water before?" Raven asked.

Starfire shook her head.

"I guess you can step in and stand there or something," Robin suggested.

"No, I need not do that. I can just jump in right here!" Starfire refused. Her friends cleared out and she jumped in.

Starfire had never felt so refreshed in her life. The water was silky as her hand cut through it. She felt water running through her hair and the water spoke to her in a silent language, beckoning her to stay. She stayed with the moment and felt herself being cushioned by the fellow water. She kicked her feet around and flapped her arms once to breathe in fresh air and feel water running down her face.

Then suddenly, Starfire's legs were seemingly stuck together. Starfire gasped, reaching for the edge and lifting herself over. Then she wrapped a towel around her legs, hoping that none of her friends had noticed the conjoining of her legs. Was the transformation of growing happening to her again? Should she run away from all of her friends? Will the cocoon eater come to seek her? What will happen when her friends find out about her transforming? They will hate her? Last time they had only seen her in a cocoon, but not in her monster state. This time they will. There will be no place to hide.

Except her room.

"Starfire! What happened?" Robin yelled.

"I think she's scared of the water," Raven suggested.

Robin agreed to Raven's thinking.

Starfire should have been miles away from the pool water by now at her flying speed, but she was really in her locked up room, looking at her legs.

The glue between her two legs had gone away and she could move them both freely and separately. Starfire wasn't sure if every Tamarinian had problems with water or it was just her. It was probably that all Tamarinians were like that. That was probably just why they didn't have water in Tamarind. She decided to test her theory that night in the comfort of her own privacy.

Robin knew that Raven knew, since she was the main part of the 'incident'. She was the main part.

And now Starfire knew. What more was there to say?

It wasn't that upsetting. Just a normal thing that comes to life wherever, whenever. Nowadays, it leads to major fights, like it probably would right now. The whole team might revolt against him. Robin wanted to know specifically what Starfire knew.

Robin walked out of his room and knocked on Starfire's door. No one answered so Robin took that as a sign that Starfire wasn't in her room. If she was, she would wake up. She was a light sleeper.

Robin looked to the right to check if anyone was there. No one was seen so he opened the door to Raven's room. He crept silently to her bed, where Raven had her back on him and her eyes closed.

Robin stood there a while, thinking over the question her was going to ask her.

"What are you doing?" Beast Boy's voice echoed behind him.

Robin turned without change of expression. "I could ask you the same thing."

"I think I know your little secret," Beast Boy angrily said.

"What do you think it is?" Robin asked back, looking at Beast Boy's silhouette.

"You like Raven, don't you?" Beast Boy said, as if he knew it. "That's why Starfire was upset."

"What could she find in there to prove that?"

"A love letter maybe?"

"Like you'll find anything like that in there."

"You bet I could," Beast Boy waved a paper.

"That's not—what do you know? You joined the team second to last."

"I have facts, I have clues, and I have witnesses."

"Who's your witness? A wall?"

"That wasn't funny. My witness is Cyborg, who joined the team just before me."

Robin raised an eyebrow. "What did he tell you?"

"Oh no, he didn't just tell me, he actually showed me."

"And how?"

"Simple really, I am surprised you have never heard it before. A hidden camera video tells all. A picture tells a thousand words. And a video tells that you like Raven. The video shows one of your 'meetings' with Raven."

Robin stared at Beast Boy. Then he turned and looked at the sleeping Raven. "I don't believe you."

"You better believe me, it's the only thing to do other than to admit it," Beast Boy sneered.

They both stood in silence for a long while.

"Are you going to keep staring at me or keep fighting in my room?" Raven asked, still in the same position that she was before.

"I needed to ask you a question but someone decided to interrupt," Robin replied.

"You mind going now, Beast Boy?" Raven asked.

Beast Boy left without a word. Raven's room door shut automatically.

"What do you want?" Raven asked in boredom as she sat up in bed.

"What does Starfire know?" Robin asked back.

"Why does everyone have to ask me? Ask a physic consultant…other than me."

"I need to know." Robin grabbed Raven's arm tightly.

"I don't know," Raven pulled loose from Robin's grip. "If you want to know, ask Starfire!"

"Tried that," Robin said quickly. "She's not there."

"You think she knows?"

"I hope not."

"You can't always trust another person to keep your secret. It is our responsibility, you know."
