Title: Pili lani ("Close to Heaven" in Hawaiian)

Summary: The Teen Titans are invited to 12 days in Hawaii and everything from grand hotel suites to helicopter rides is included as a gift from Jump City. But Raven and Robin suddenly fall ill, so are unable to participate in the daily activities for at least a week. (Boy, what a way to spend a vacation) Both left alone in the hotel, they get to know each other more and new emotions arise. Ages: Raven, Robin, and Starfire are 17. Cyborg is 18 and Beast Boy is 16 (almost 17).

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, Hawaiian Airlines, or Dan Brown's Angels and Demons.

Author Notes: I just think Robin and Raven are more...mature. They understand each other better and are more alike. (Not the mention they're the best looking pair in the group...) Enjoy and if you can, and please review. Only feedback will make the story better and will encourage me to write more and update sooner. I'll do a BB and Raven story later. Give me an interesting idea and I'll come up with something.

Chapter 1

It was the middle of summer, and so far there hasn't been any attacks by villains on Jump City for almost a month. Although they hate to admit it, the Teen Titans were bored out of their wits. All that changed, however, when the mail arrived.

"Some bills, Star's magazine, Cyborg's magazine, some advertisements, a letter from Speedy, and what have we got here?" Robin opened the last envelope, which was cream colored and framed with gold. After just reading the first few lines, he gasped and the rest of the mail flew down to the floor.

"Oh dude! You wrecked my magazine!" Cyborg came running in and made a grab for the defenseless jumble of paper when he caught sight of Robin's boggling eyes. "Err...Robin, you okay?"

"Um, Cyborg, get the rest of the Titans here. I have a feeling they might want to see this," Robin said without lifting his eyes from the letter.

Cyborg raised his eyebrows and frowned, but didn't question his leader as he grabbed his car magazine and rounded his friends to the front where Robin was still reading the letter unblinking. (And from doing that, his eyes appeared to be bloodshot.)

"Robin, did you call us here to just stare at your pathetic reading skills?" spoke up Raven, irritated that she was ripped away from her book, where the climax was just taking place a paragraph away.

"You guys, you won't believe this—"began Robin, finally prying his eyes away.

"Well, if we will not believe you, then what is the point of telling us?" enquired Starfire.

"It's a figure of speech," shot Cyborg.

"As I was saying," the Boy Wonder cleared his throat, "Jump City wishes to thank us for creating a villain free place for the past years, and is rewarding us with twelve days, all paid from the hotel to tours to meals...IN HAWAII!"

Suddenly a huge commotion broke out. Starfire was rocketing around screaming and randomly shooting star bolts out of excessive happiness, Beast Boy and Cyborg were giving each other hi-fives and yelling also on the top of their lungs, Raven was smiling but was being slowly tortured from all the noise, and Robin's cape had suddenly burst into flames without his noticing from one of Starfire's star bolts.

After the din died down and Robin was once again flame free, Beast Boy managed to speak from his grinning mouth, "So, when are we leaving?"

Robin checked the letter again, which had all their plans and reservations, and not the mention the airline tickets, and read aloud, "July 22nd."

"But that's tomorrow!" cried Cyborg.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get packing!" yelled Robin as he headed for the elevator, closely followed by his teammates.

The next day around four in the afternoon, the Teen Titans arrived at Jump City International Airport to leave for their twelve days of Christmas, I mean, Hawaii. Each of them was carrying two suitcases and Cyborg had all his equipment he needed to plug in for the night at the hotel.

As they waited impatiently for the terminal doors to open, Starfire and Beast Boy were busy looking at magazines depicting Hawaii's beaches as being "The Closest to Heaven on Earth as You'll Ever Get!" While the green teen explained to Starfire what "Heaven" was, Raven was once again, indulged in her book. This time, there will be no interference between her and the climax that was causing ice to climb up her spine. Raven suddenly stopped. The chills weren't caused by suspense, but from the eyes of an observer. Looking up, she found herself staring right into a pair of masked eyes, Robin's eyes. The leader smiled and took the seat next to Raven and asked, "So, what are you reading now this time?"

Surprised that he would even be interested, she replied, "Angels and Demons. It's a really witty book, so if you ever get the chance, I suggest you read it." What was she saying? Robin doesn't read these kinds of books!

Robin must have read her mind, because the next thing he said startled her even more, "Angels and Demons? I finished that about a month ago! It's one of my favorites. What part are you on?"

The hooded girl blushed slightly at the attention she was receiving. Before she could say anything, the overhead intercom suddenly crackled to life and said, "Terminal twelve to Maui, Hawaii is now ready for boarding. Families with children and the elderly may board first."

The Teens scrambled to get their carry-on luggage and waited in the back of the line. Beast Boy could hardly contain his excitement that they would be riding first class! "I heard they have personal TV's that you can play video games on!"

"No surprise here," thought Raven, "Anything with video games will get him to spaz anyways." She was feeling a bit nervous, as this was her first plane ride, but as soon as she saw the inside of the first-class compartment, the teen couldn't help but feel a twinge of excitement that had already completely enveloped Beast Boy. If it weren't for the drop of self-control he possessed, Raven had an idea that he would be changing into a variety of green animals non-stop.

Raven took her seat in the front next to Starfire, who was admiring the airport from her window, "Wow, these airplanes are so big! I can not believe humans can make something so big fly in the air!"

Beast Boy and Cyborg were sitting across the aisle and were busy looking for their remote control. It was true what Beast Boy had said about the personal TV's. Under one of the chair arms was a TV that could be unfolded. Behind the girls sat Robin, who got two seats to himself and was now reading the newspaper that was passed out earlier on.

After everything was settled down and checked, the Hawaiian Airlines plane was speeding down the runway. Starfire started chortling with excitement while Raven was immersed in her book. Cyborg and Beast Boy were twitching from impatience, as the captain had ordered that no electronic devices be turned on until they were safe in the air. Robin was indifferent and flipped another page in the newspaper. A little while later, they were up in the air and the houses were shrinking into the size of ants. If anything got any more overwhelming, Raven had a feeling Starfire might just blow up.

After an hour, the flight attendants came around to take their orders for dinner. Raven and her friend quickly grabbed their menus made their choices. First class wasn't bad in anyway, even Beast Boy had his choice of vegetarian meals that were way better than anything he had ever attempted to make, and Cyborg got his full share on meat. Both Raven and Robin had ordered the chicken meal, which was followed by soup and salad, and Starfire squealed when her dessert arrived: warm chocolate lava cake.

As the plane began to touch down in Maui's airport, Raven's stomach began to ache. "It's probably air-sickness," she said to herself. Robin himself was looking quite pale as they went to the baggage chain.

It was past nine at night when the Teen Titans arrived at their hotel, the grandest thing they had ever seen so far in their lives. The lobby closely resembled a palace ball room. Two cream colored marble pillars guarded the entrance lobby, and a huge crystal chandelier hung from the high dome ceiling. A cylinder aquarium where tropical fish and even a shark swam round and round surrounded the elevators at the end. Signs by the elevator pointed to the pool, the gift shops, the restaurants, and more. Tearing his eyes away from the captivating painted ceiling, Robin headed towards the front desk and checked in. He handed each of his friends a card key to their rooms, and followed a luggage pusher to their room on the top floor.

Nothing they had ever seen before could compare to their hotel suite. Cyborg dropped his bag and Raven accidentally melted a lamp in the hallway. Beast Boy, Starfire, and Robin were too lost in words to do or say anything. The baggage man chuckled and produced a clipboard. "These Presidential Suites are usually reserved for celebrities. Let's see, room 20-08. Cameron Diaz, 50 Cent, Usher, Johnny Depp and Will Smith's family have so far lived in this hotel suite since last year, the year it was built. Well, here is your luggage, and I best be going. Enjoy your stay! If you have any needs, contact the front desk." The man left and the teens continued to gape open mouthed at the room.

It must have been the size of a very large apartment room, and no bedrooms were in sight yet. The floor was covered in the same cream-colored marble as the lobby and the center was framed with a deep red and gold. Directly above their entrance was another fancy chandelier, and about eight to nine yards away was another over a grand marble dining table that could seat eight. To their left was a coat closet and what seemed to be a laundry room. The teens quickly turned their head to their right and found a massive breakfast bar with black granite tops surrounding a fully equipped kitchen. There was also a deep red couch and two cozy armchairs surrounding a marble coffee table in front of a plasma TV, complete with DVD and video player, and surround sound. The most breathtaking of all was the view behind the dining table. The entire wall was made of glass and a pair of sliding doors led to a balcony, and they could see the dazzling night sky being reflected on the ocean waves, where surfers glided about.

"Holy—"
"Mother—"
"Of—"
"Shit—"

Robin snapped out of his awed trance and walked towards the doors next to the balcony. "These seem to be our rooms!" he said, and let out another gasp as the lights snapped on, "Dude...they're huge!"

Beast Boy stepped onto the plush burgundy carpet at this side and stared into a large room with two twin-sized beds and a place for Cyborg to plug in for the night. There was also a desk with three computers and a walk in closet with the door slightly opened. Cyborg walked in and whistled. He headed towards the bathroom and wasn't surprised that it was made of marble, but was a bit shocked at the size. There was a Jacuzzi, a separate shower, and a huge counter with two sinks and a bunch of space. At the end was a separate room for a toilet and another smaller sink.

"Dude, how much does this place cost?" asked Beast Boy, admiring the computers which all had wireless Internet.

"I'm guessing the girl's rooms are the same?" stated Robin. He was half correct.

Instead of two twin-sized beds and Cyborg's plugger thing, there were two queen sized beds and a small table with three chairs, and not to mention only two computers. Everything else was the same.

Starfire was jumping on her bed, laughing gleefully. Raven however was starting to grow pale and leaned against the wall for support. She was breathing rapidly and clutching her stomach.

"Yo Raven, you all right?" Cyborg asked. No sooner had the words left his lips did Raven fall into a faint, closely followed by Robin who was standing in the doorway.

"Raven!" called out her teammates, "Robin!"
