"I don't know how I let you talk me into doing this." Raven muttered as she moved along the dark corridor.
Beast Boy's excellent ears caught it. "Because you love me. We did what you wanted to do first & now it's my turn."
The one year old couple had wildly different ideas on how to spend their first Halloween together & decided to pick an activity each. Raven chose an open mic poetry reading at an underground gothic coffee shop while Beast Boy opted for the Haunted House on the boardwalk.
She frowned. "This is ridiculous. Nothing is even scary in here."
He watched her bat away a fake spider. "Do you want to be afraid? Remember Wicked Scary?"
She sighed. "You're right. But this is subpar at best. Nothing in here even looks real."
That much was true. Though dark, the props had a plastic look to them. "It'll get better. Trust me."
They went on walking for a while & even Beast Boy got bored. The props weren't getting any better. There were displays set up that were supposed to scare & disgust the patrons but they were lame. Please… peeled grapes?
"I think you might have been right, Rae." He sighed. "Let's just find the exit &-"
"Rawr!" A pumpkin headed, muscle bound scarecrow with a roaring, rusted chainsaw jumped out of nowhere, the sound & smell of gas amplifying the sight.
Raven & Beast Boy screamed & clutched each other. Raven's powers yanked the chainsaw from the scarecrow, yanking him forward. The chainsaw sliced through the air, nearly decapitating the terror stricken Titans.
The head fell off the scarecrow, revealing a bloody neck. The pumpkin rolled to their feet & laughed darkly.
The two screamed again & hightailed it out of the haunted house. They ended up on the boardwalk again & ran to the edge of the pier. Once they stopped, they bent over, clutching their knees & breathing hard.
"Are you… okay?" Beast Boy panted.
Raven nodded. "Are you?"
He nodded, too. Then he smiled & started laughing.
"What's so funny?" She straightened.
"You wanted it to be scary. Bet you won't ask for that again!"
She did what any sane person would do. She shoved him off the pier.
