Chapter one – Hot chocolate
She raced through the bushes.
"HELP!" she screamed. The branches flicked back at her and tore at the flesh on her legs. Still she ran on.
"Help!" she yelled again, this time more feeble, "My village needs help! Fire! Please, I need help!" an angry old man appeared from one of the nearby huts.
"What do you want, you-"
"Hot chocolate?"
Raven was jolted out of her book. She took the mug from her husband's hand.
"Thanks Gar," she murmured gratefully, sipping the drink. "Mmmm…" she sighed.
"Better than herbal tea?" Beast Boy asked, flopping on the sofa beside her, his own hot chocolate in his hands. Raven laughed.
"Nothing is better than herbal tea, Beast Boy, you should know that." She replied playfully. He sighed and shook his head, laughing too. She leant closer to him and kissed him on the cheek. "But this comes very close…" she whispered in his ear. For a moment, their eyes locked. Beast Boy bent and closed the gap between their faces. Raven rolled onto her back and the kiss became more passionate. As they broke for air, Beast Boy pulled back.
"Wanna take this to the bedroom?" he asked, waggling his eyebrows suggestively. She giggled and opened her mouth to speak when the door was flung open.
"We're back!" Cyborg yelled.
"And we got PIZZA!" Bumblebee cried, laughing. Beast Boy quickly jumped off his wife but it was too late.
"Ooh!" Cyborg smirked, "Did we interrupt something?" Bumblebee giggled at the embarrassed and rather annoyed couple.
"I think we did." She chuckled.
"What pizza did you get?" Beast Boy asked, quickly changing the subject. He lifted the box lid and wretched. "Pepperoni?!" he cried, incredulously.
"Hey," Cyborg shrugged, "Pick it off you big baby."
"Where are Robin and Starfire?" Bumblebee asked.
"They're not in their room, if that's what you mean," Beast Boy replied dryly. Raven elbowed him, rolling her eyes.
"They're on 'patrol'." She answered.
"Does 'patrol' involve a 'short cut' through the park?" Cyborg joked.
"Why don't you ask him?" Raven smirked. Cyborg span round. Robin was standing behind him, one hand interlocked with Starfire's, the other on his hip.
"I'm going to be nice and just ask what kind of pizza you bought." He said simply. Cyborg sweat-dropped.
"Pepperoni!! They got PEPPERONI!" Beast Boy shouted, outraged. Robin snorted.
"Why don't you just pick the pepperoni off?"
"HA!" Cyborg cried. "That's what I said!"
"DUDE! Scary Movie 5!!"
