I do not own the Teen Titans.....FAIL V_V
Chapter One
"Are we there now?" Asked Kori, leaning forward from her perch in the back of the jeep. An agitated Raven sighed as Lana stifled a giggle. "Kori Anders I swear if you ask that again your tan is going to have duct tape streaks." Kori cringed, and Raven watched in the rear view mirror as the red head lowered her expressive green eyes to the magazine in her lap, pulling her toe polished bare feet underneath of her once again. Raven sighed in relief as the lighthouse, and accompanying body of water came into view, it was a sure sign they would be there soon.
Raven turned her violet eyes towards Lana, whose almond shaped blue eyes lit up with excitement. About that time an explosive squeal of excitement erupted from the back seat. "Friends, it is beautiful!" Lana laughed out loud at Kori's explosion, careless and free as always, and even Raven couldn't help but chuckle at her outburst. Lana's uncle had invited them to come stay in the lighthouse cottage while he and his immediate family went on vacation. Lana, always having a love of the cottage and lighthouse jumped at the chance and decided to take her two best friends with her. As they pulled into the drive they noticed that they were not the only ones there. Three boys were pulling luggage out of a brand new Corvette, Raven looked to Lana for an explanation, but she looked just as confused as Raven felt.
Kori poked her head up from the back seat, "I was not aware that we were going to have roommates." "Neither was I." Grumbled a pissed looking Lana before hopping out of the Jeep and making her way toward the three boys. "Friend Raven?" "Yes Kori." "We should probably accompany friend Lana, as to avoid any immediate conflict with our roommates." Raven looked out the windshield at Lana's retreating form studying her body language carefully. "Let's see squared shoulders, tensed back, doubled fists. Yeah I think we should go."
As Lana approached the Comoro the African American teen turned to face her. "Hey you must be La" "What the hell are you doing on my uncle's property?" Lana yelled at the now defensive teen. "Hey little lady, don't you get lippy with me unless your planning on giving me room to explain myself." Lana glared, "fine. Why exactly are you here and who the hell said it was okay for you to be here?" "I'm the lighthouse keeper, well keepers apprentice and household handyman. Your uncle said it would be okay for me and a few friends to come up and take care of the lighthouse while they were away. I'm going to guess he didn't tell you I was going to be here by that lovely outburst you had a few moments ago."
By this time Raven and Kori had joined the rather aggressive exchange, as had the teen's two friends who watched on with confusion. One of the boys looked at Raven, "As much as I'm enjoying watching Vic get his ass ripped brand new by your friend, do yak think you could call off the dogs?" Raven decided it would be a good idea because the argument had condensed to a very intense glare-off. "Lana I'm pretty sure that your uncle will call and explain later, right now we should all get our stuff and get inside its going to rain soon.
Lana looked over the horizon, scrunched her nose in disgust, casting one last glare at Vic. "Come on, I got the key in my purse." As they unloaded their separate vehicles Raven, realizing her bags were on the bottom, decided to observe the boys, not in an "oh they're hot way", but in an "I don't know if I can trust these three way". The boys were kind all three smiled and said hello as they passed her, entering the house. However, it was the younger one from earlier, who came back to talk. "Hay I'm Gar!" Raven was quickly taken aback by his forwardness and her walls went up. "Mummy...I'm Raven. Is there a reason you're talking to me?" Gar dropped his head, hiding his bright green eyes, which were severely dimmed at Raven's comment, under his shaggy black and green streaked hair. Raven immediately felt bad, and because she wasn't use to her usual temperament making her feel bad she decided that he was one to avoid.
Gar looked up at her suddenly, "because I'm guessing that by your cool exterior you're just putting me out with emotional blockers because people are hard to trust, I'm going to pretend that you didn't just say that. Whether you like it or not Rae, we're gonna be besties!" With his last exclamation he threw an arm around her shoulders and drug her over to her Jeep, helping her with her bags. When they got inside everyone was looking at the ground shifting their feet. Raven looked about nervously and before she could ask Lana gave her a shifty smile, "Raven I'm glad you already met your roommate. Don't freak-out; my uncle left us room assignments, boy-girl room assignments." Gar perked up, "see we're even roomies!" "If you touch me again I'm going to kill you." "Don't be mean I got us the best room in the house, it's the round room modeled after the lighthouse. It's got a good window seat for reading." Raven sighed, "Fine. Let's go check it out." "Yet!"
