"~'The LOOOOOOVE BOAT!'~" Beast Boy sang, dancing around the living room in the Titan Tower. "~'Soon will be making anoooother run!'~"
He continued dancing, swinging around some papers he held in his hands, earning some weird looks from his teammates.
"Beast Boy, why do you sing of the boat that falls in love?" Starfire inquired cluelessly.
"It's not the boat that falls in love Star, it's the people on the boat! Guess who just got us tickets for the most famous romantic cruise everrrr!" Beast Boy spun around with great enthusiasm, holding up the papers while continuing, "Don't you think it's about time we took a vacation?!"
Beast Boy sped off to his room - animatedly leaving a dust cloud behind - bringing back a huge stack of luggage, as well as presenting a costume change.
"See, look! I'm already packed!" he flashed a wide toothy grin, trying to balance all of his stuff while showing off his bold summer fashion at the same time.
"Hold on a second there, Beast Boy," Robin stepped in. "we can't just leave. Our city needs us." He crossed his arms disapprovingly, but that didn't stop the determined vacation-planner.
"Already got that covered. Titans East agreed to stay here until we get back while keeping their city in check at the same time!" he stated confidently, declaring his victory.
"Well, I still don't know if this is good ide-" Robin started with authority, but was cut off by Cyborg.
"Come on, man. I think it's about time we had a vacation."
Robin looked around at all the other Titans to dictate his answer. Starfire's eyes were wide with hope, thinking this 'boat of love' will be exciting! Raven was indifferent, her nose in a book as usual. Beast Boy of course had a giant puppy dog face, begging to go.
Lastly, Cyborg animatedly rushed off to his room to pack his bags. Not even a second later he sped back with stacked luggage in hand, working his own fashionable summer outfit.
"I'm ready!" Cyborg shouted eagerly.
Robin, who couldn't help but smile at his team's hopeful faces (well, most of which were hopeful), gave in and said, "…Alright. I guess you're right, we do need a vacation."
"BOO YA!" Cyborg high-fived Beast Boy, both very thrilled to be going on the trip.
"Yay!" Starfire leapt in joy, flying off to her room to pack.
Raven shrugged and slowly got up to pack her things as well.
While Cyborg and Beast Boy went on and on about how awesome everything was gonna get, Robin went off to pack his things.
~ . ~ . ~
Soon, everyone was gathered in the main room of the Titan Tower with all of their luggage. About to take their leave, Cyborg and Beast Boy planted themselves in front of their teammates. Beastboy flailed his arms while blowing a police whistle that came out of nowhere, indicating everyone to stop moving while Cyborg shouted.
"Woah, woah, WOAH! Y'all can't go in THAT!"
The three team members looked down at their clothes in confusion, and were ordered by Beast Boy to make an immediate costume change!
"This is a vacation, remember?! So you gotta dress like it!"
Turning back towards their rooms in defeat, the three non-fashionable heroes changed into summer clothes.
"In order for this to work, we all have to pack at least one hero outfit; just in case." Robin stated, returning rocking swim shorts, sandals, a tank top and dark shades.
"Deal." Beast Boy agreed.
Starfire came back wearing a cute short summer dress with pink floral patterns on it, as well as a flower crown, big round sunglasses and wedge heel flip flops. "Ready! Tee hee!" she giggled happily.
At last, Raven floated back dressed in a plain, long, light purple summer dress with matching flats. She topped it all off with a dark floppy hat.
"Ready. Let's go." She spoke in monotone to the others.
With that, the others headed out - luggage in arms – to the Jump City pier where the luxurious Love Boat awaited them.
Finally arriving, Beast Boy was the first to throw himself out of the T-Car and grab his luggage. The others followed close behind as they all got in line to board.
After what seemed like ages later to Beast Boy, he showed his boarding ticket to the check-in sailor professionally; inhabiting a VIP demeanor. Walking through after approval, as soon as the check-in sailor was out of earshot, Beast Boy did a little dance while waiting for the others.
One by one, the other Titans were let in and they all stood together at the entrance room, amazed by the sight before them:
Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, exotic flowers and fancy decor covered the entirety of the boat, and waiters were handing out drinks and tiny snacks on silver platters.
"Wow. Is this high-class or what?" Robin's eyes widened in awe behind his shades.
"It's glorious!" Starfire beamed, hearts popping out of her eye sockets.
Taking in only one part of the giant dream-like ship, another check-in sailor went up to greet them and checked their tickets to assist them in finding their rooms.
Beast Boy booked rooms 14 and 15, which were a part of the higher class suites of the ship.
Raven and Starfire agreed to take room 14, and the guys took room 15. The two groups retreated to their rooms to drop off their bags and start getting settled before the ship set sail across the ocean for Europe; for this was a round-trip cruise.

Being able to set a couple things up, like unpacking some clothes and the sort, The Titans met outside their rooms and found an activity packet down the hall.
It was filled with countless subjects of all kinds; Beast Boy and Cyborg especially liked the section about the all-you-can-eat buffet every Friday. The packet also included entertainment opportunities such as karaoke nights, balls, and sports right here on the ship, as well as a long list of five-star restaurants and shops all on the boat.
Each Titan took one for themselves and decided on what they all wanted to do and when; everything! This was going to be a fantastic cruise!
Just then, the captain of the famous boat's voice echoed over the intercom, "Welcome aboard The Love Boat! The staff and I hope you all have a wonderful time with us; setting a course for adventure and your minds on a new romance! Be sure to check out the activity brochure, for there are countless amounts of fun opportunities you can take part in right here on the ship! Sit back and relax for our four-week cruise, we're off!"
The boat swayed slightly, and within another moment they were off to Europe! The Titans went out to the docks, and were surprised to see a crowd of people on the pier waving to them, shouting things like 'Good luck!', 'Have fun!' and 'Sail safe!'
Within a millisecond, The Titans were joined by passengers flooding onto the docks, all waving to the crowd. The five of them decided to wave along with the rest of the passengers, all but one having big smiles on their faces.
Once they were farther away, most of the passengers retreated back to the luxury of the ship inside, but when the Titans started to head in, they noticed one of their team members missing; where was Beast Boy?
What they didn't know was that Beast Boy went to the back of the ship to continue waving to the crowd, while singing and dancing with the highest spirit and enthusiasm. He would join his friends soon enough, but felt it was his duty to do one last thing before joining the others;
"~'It's looooooove! Welcome aboard it's loooooo-OOOOO-OVE!'~" his finishing pose leaping into the air.
A/N –
