Chapter 1: Switching
Raven sighed as she made her way to the kitchen for some herbal tea. Starfire passed her in the hall just before gasping and grabbing Raven's hand without a word. Raven yelped briefly from the initial shock as she was dragged in the direction she was already going. However, this was how Raven liked the bubbly alien. Her nature was to be talkative and outwardly emotional in all respects. The opposition they had was probably why they got along so well, despite a few issues now and then.
When they were to their destination, Starfire let her go and started to jump up and down in excitement. "Dear Friend, we are to have an all-girl vacation while the boys have an all-boy vacation!"
Raven began to make her herbal tea. "So, that's cool. But what about the city?"
Starfire smiled brighter. "Well, we are going to discuss that with Titans East. Robin was thinking that we could vacation at our homes."
"That's not much of a vacation, Starfire," Raven said. "That's just a sleepover."
"For two weeks?"
"An extended stay."
"Oh…Well, the boys wish to discuss if the girls should come here or that we should go there, to the Titans East Tower."
"What would you prefer?"
"I have noticed our mall of shopping is much better than the mall in Steel City. And you would enjoy your poetry warehouse with Argent because I am sure that Bumblebee does not know where to find such a place." Before Raven could say that she could find a similar place in Steel City, the boys came through the door.
"Ah, good, Star. We were just looking for you and Rae," Robin stated, a smile on his face.
"Titans East should be calling soon," Cyborg said. "Time to sit."
"So, what are you guys thinking?" Beast Boy asked. "Are the guys going to pack or are the girls?"
"I think the boys should be the ones to pack the bags," Starfire stated.
Just then, the screen shimmered and the speakers made the Titan sound as Titans East appeared. Greetings were made, and the news of Speedy and Argent getting together chocked each of the original Titans. Bumblebee cleared her throat. "We can talk about that later. We should get down to business right now."
"That sounds reasonable," Cyborg stated. "Star and Rae want to stay here. Honestly, I want to stay here, too."
"Yeah," Beast Boy agreed. "Besides, we have Game Station Deluxe." Más y Menos nearly wept with joy, Speedy grinning in the background."
"You could easily bring that with you," Raven reasoned. "I can't move the clubs with my telekinesis." Everyone looked at her as if she had grown a tail. "What?"
"You…club?" Aqualad questioned.
"It happens," defended Raven, her face slightly flushed as she crossed her arms.
Starfire chuckled. "She means her club of the depressing and dark poetry."
"Well, let's take a vote," Bumblebee suggested.
Robin blinked. "I was just going to say that." He sounded both confused and slightly irritated. "All for the girls staying here and the guys staying at Titans East Tower?"
All the girls, Aqualad, and Speedy raised their hands immediately. Starfire looked about and saw that Robin did not. Glaring at him, he slowly lifted his hand halfway in the air.
Cyborg counted and bit off a curse. "Man! I wanted to stay here! It's my tower!"
Robin scowled at him. "Your tower? I'd say it was more mine."
Beast Boy snickered. "And you're so willing to give it up for two weeks."
A glare from Robin set Beast Boy laughing hysterically, followed by Cyborg's boisterous laughter and a few chuckles from Speedy, Aqualad, and Más y Menos. The girls stare at them like they were crazy.
Bumblebee shook her head. "Okay, boys," she stated, sweeping her hand in the air as if to order them away, "time to pack. See you guys in the next few days." The screen returned to the window view.
