They sped down to the carnival. Robin brought the bike to a stop and raven climbed off. She removed the helmet and shook her head, trying to get her hair to settle.
He got off the bike and placed both the helmets on the handle bars. He turned to look at her. She looks really good with windswept hair, he thought, making a mental note to get her on his bike more often.
She caught him staring at her.
"What are you looking at, boy blunder?" she asked, humour just behind her eyes.
"Hmmm, just the way your hair looks after wind grazes through it, it looks real good. You should ride my bike more often," he decided to tell her the truth; he'd deal with the consequences later.
She looked at him, searching his emotions. He's telling the truth, she thought, startled by his honesty.
She looked at him with curiosity. "Ok..." she said," so what are we going to do here?"
"Well, I thought we could spend the day together, just the two of us," he said sheepishly.
He was actually hoping that he could relax her enough to get her to talk to him about her personally. He knew that she had to be careful with what she did because her powers were controlled by her emotions. But he thought if he got her to relax enough, she'd open to him. She was his best friends, his mind matcher, his challenger and his secret love; he'd always been worried what would happen if he told her he loved her.
She looked at him inquisitively, "ok then let's go, last one in is the rotten titan." She smiled at him and then she dashed into the park.
He stood frozen for a moment, trying to process what had just happened to her. Then he dashed after her.
[insert break line here]
She dashed towards the Ferris wheel. She looked behind her and didn't see him. She stopped and looked around.
"Looking for me?" a voice asked from behind her.
She shrieked and spun around. There he stood, leaning against the rail of the stairs to the Ferris wheel.
"Don't do that," she sighed and then shook her head at him, "do you have to be such a jerk all the time?"
He faked a look of mock hurt, "I'm not a jerk, I'm just,"
"Arrogant, over self-confident to the point that you're a snob which means you're a complete jerk," she interrupted him, grinning.
His face dropped," I am not all of that," he said, threating tone lower dangerously. He started to move toward her. She slowly backed away from him," I was kidding, robin, I was kidding," she said as he dove at her.
Before she could port away, he pushed her in to a tent. She landed on a table before he landed on top of her. He knocked the breath out of her.
"Ohh, are you ok?" he asked, looking really worried at her state. Her fist connected with his shoulder, causing him to fly back.
"is that the answer you wanted?" she said, shifting herself so she could sit up. She hopped off the table and walked over to him.
He slowly turned over. Groaning, he looked so see where she was.
"looking for me," her voice asked from behind him. Shocked, he spun around.
She sat on a ledge right above his head, grinning down at him.
"so where do you want to go first?" she asked.
He looked at her in astonishment. Shaking his head, he stood and held his hand out to her," the roller coaster, the serpent."
