Emma: So, here I am in the brink of my school year and with no homework. I have to say I am thoroughly amazed and bored out of my mind. I actually turned to watching Grey's Anatomy re-runs to pass the time! Anyway, away from my random tangent, Olivia and I have had another twin moment; we were talking about how in the end of Trouble in Tokyo, Beast Boy said "Okay dudes but next time, we're goin to Mexico!" and how that would be cool to play off of. Of course we both then, at the same time, go "Holy crap! A Mayhem in Mexico story!" and laughed. So, here we are doing what I bet so many people have pondered doing in their minds. A play off of the Titans vacationing to Mexico City two years after Tokyo, of course we'll be including our OC Falcon, Bohusk, A.J., Joy, Aaron, and Swift and The Titans East will be vacationing with them! SO, we don't own anything (we will someday though!) so enjoy!

Mayhem in Mexico

Chapter 1: I'm Not That Girl

Raven reclined back in the seat of the T-Ship and sighed, plugging her ear buds into her ear of the purple iPod she'd received for her birthday from the team. She watched the group through her window as they flew over the water, heading towards Mexico City. Raven grinned; they were actually going to Mexico City for a vacation! Beast Boy, AJ and Falcon had pestered Robin and showed him the brochure repeatedly for over three months before he gave in once Star agreed it was time for a vacation. Raven closed her eyes and let the music wash over her.

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl:

Raven groaned; a perfect song for her situation, a song about lost love on the anniversary of Melchior… Lovely choice of fate, the world must love the half demon. She stared out the window and watched Bohusk tease Nessa from their shared compartment to her left. Robin and Starfire were to her right, laughing and Raven watched them kiss gently. The couple had grown closer by the day since the Tokyo trip; Raven was happy for tem, but it made her envious for someone she could love too. Cyborg was talking on his communicator, to Bumble Bee and smiled as Raven watched him; the metal man loved the Titans East's leader, he just hadn't admitted it yet. Raven stared at last into her rearview mirror and watched as Beast Boy read in his compartment behind her. He looked up and smiled at Raven as he caught her amethyst eyes.

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

Beast Boy had once had Terra, a beautiful girl with blue eyes, a lithe body, and long blonde hair. Raven touched the ends of her own short purple locks and frowned. Beast Boy waved his cell phone at Raven and she reached into her pocket to take out her own purple Sidekick. Cyborg had bought each team mate a new cell phone for Christmas so they could keep in touch even as civilians. Raven watched as a message from BB popped up. It read "You okay, Rae?". She sighed, if only he knew how not alright she was….

Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Raven went to send a message back but she stopped, consumed by the thought of Terra; the necromancer who had fooled them all. She sighed and looked back up to see Beast Boy giving her a deep stare; Raven shook away any thoughts of his eyes being so deep and his other handsome features. She sent a quick "Fine just tired" back to Beast Boy nad turned back to her music.


Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl:

Music was not helping her right now, but at least they were landing in Mexico City now; she could forget being in love and just have fun. She got out of the ship with the others and tripped down the stairs; Beast Boy caught her hand and she looked up in shock. She shook off his hand with a nod of thanks, and hid behind her hood to hide the blush. She wouldn't fall in love again; she wasn't that girl.

"Rae, are you okay?" Falcon asked jumping down from the ship, holding Bohusk's hand. Raven nodded and helped Swift lift some of the luggage into the large seaside mansion the teams were staying in. Aaron's family owned the mansion and Aaron offered to let the teams stay there with him and the Jaisons twins on vacation. The mansion was only a few blocks away from the shore and Raven could smell the sea air and feel the spray on her skin; aching to dive in and swim but also curious to see the mansion AJ and Aaron had talked so much about." Let's go scope out a room with a view before everyone takes the good ones!"

Raven smiled, ready for the distraction from Beast Boy and from the sting of all the love in the sir. She entered the mansion behind Swift and Speedy, Speedy carrying Swift over his shoulders as she laughed and tried to jump down and see the house. Raven stared around the wide open front room and smiled as AJ zoomed over, floating in midair from her excitement. The room was painted a light yellow and had large bay windows with cushioned window seats around the entire room. The living room seemed to be the whole bottom story and was connected to the kitchen and game room. There were cushioned chairs and two couches and a long cherry wood table that Joy sat on staring out the window dreamily as Aqua Lad talked to her in a soft voice.

"This is really beautiful," Raven said softly. AJ appeared at her side and nodded twirling around and sighing as a sea breeze blew in the open patio door every few seconds." I'm glad Bird Walk finally agreed to let us come here, we all need a vacation and Kid Flash, Jinx, Arrow, Apollo, and Jericho need the practice if they intend to be the new Titans North. It'll do them some good to protect Jump…"

"There's an old saying my Abuelita used to say," AJ said dreamily," She used to say: Volar como el gorrión." Raven gave her a curious look." It means 'Fly like the sparrow'. See, my Abuelita used to say sparrows were free birds that sang their own tunes and always went with the flow of life. Sometimes we just have to fly like sparrows and let the wind take us. This trip was like Robin's way of being a sparrow and letting us all go with the flow. We have to enjoy it."

"You know for a hyperactive psychic know-it-all," Raven said with a smile," You can be rather deep. I guess these two weeks are our way of being sparrows. Making things last and making memories we may never have again. You can really go all wise psychic on us, huh, AJ?"

"Todos tenemos nuestros momentos," AJ said in an airy voice. She glanced over at Beast Boy when she said this and Raven blushed; having a best friend who was psychic had its downsides. Like when she had visions about your vacation but would only give you an answer that would make Confucius proud. Raven sighed and looked up to see Beast Boy smiling at her. She smiled back before she could stop herself and then turned away before he could see her red face." Ah, el amor de verano. Always a beautiful thing…"
