Chapter 4: You need a new hobby.
[February 14, 2010, Hive 5 HQ, 9:06 AM (PST)]
"Hey guys! Guess who I saw in the park this morning!" shouted Seemore, as he walked into the common room
"Who?" asked Mammoth
"The green kid! And he had a list! He's got a GIRLFRIEND! And he's takin' her out today!"
"Sweet! Now I can get back at him for getting me trounced!" grinned Gizmo
"Hey Gizmo, maybe we should mess his day up, huh? We ain't got no girls! So let make sure his dumps him! Right Billy?" Billy Numerous called
"Yeah pardner! We gonna mess him up!" shouted a Billy.
"You got it Billy!" another Billy cheered
"..." Kid Wykkyd shook his head.
All four turned to Gizmo, who had become leader after Jinx joined Kid Flash and became an honorary Titan.
"I say we do it! Seemore, where was he going when you last saw him?" Gizmo asked
"The movies! Him and his girlfriend left Titans Tower in a fancy car. He mentioned being late for a movie."
"The Tower? Did you recognize his girlfriend?"
"Nope. We'll just have to find out for ourselves. Maybe when we kick shrub face's butt and show how much of a wimp he is, she'll go out with me!" Seemore grinned
"Ha! Yeah right! who'd go out with a guy with one big eye in his forehead?" grunted Mammoth
"Worth a shot." Seemore shrugged
"Alright! to the movies! Hive 5, eat 'em alive!"

[After the movie...]
"Seriously! I'm really sorry, I don't know how it happened, I just...Sorry."
"Just what exactly are you apologizing for?" asked Raven as she and Beast Boy stepped out of the movie theater.
"For putting my arm around your shoulder without asking!" Beast Boy blurted.
"Why are you apologizing for that?" Raven queried, raising an eyebrow
"Because, you don't like unnessesary physical contact of any kind?" Beast Boy tried.
"That is true, but when I agreed to go out with you I assumed I was agreeing to whatever you would do for any other girl. The arm thing is something that a lot of people do on dates. And, you know, it wasn't all that bad." Raven grinned
"Okay! Bad me! I wont do... wait!?- what!? date? did you just say what I think you said...?" Beast Boy fumbled, still trying to process exactly what that meant.
He was stopped by a commotion that came from the concessions stand.
"Quick! lets find out what's going on!" Raven shouted, running toward the noise.
'Please be something minor, please be some thing minor.' Beast Boy thought, following after Raven.
"Billy Numerous? Aw, man..." said Beast Boy, catching sight of the culprit.
The Billy Numerouses had overwhelmed the attendant running the concession stand, and were now eating things as fast as they could.
"Got any ideas? There are civilians around, we don't want to hurt them." whispered Raven to Beast Boy.
"Just follow my lead, I'll provide distraction." Grinned Beast Boy
"Hey Numerous! Over here!" Beast Boy called, before transforming into a fly, and buzzing to a different spot. Raven caught on instantly and phased through the floor.
"Huh? did you hear somethin' Billy?" asked a Billy, spinning around
"Yup, I heard somethin', but there ain't no one there." Replied another Billy, looking puzzled
"Yeah I'm talking to you dummy!" called Beast Boy's voice
All the Billy's spun around at once, looking in the direction of the voice. Beast Boy stepped out from behind a drink vendor.
"So Billy, seen any good flicks lately?" Beast Boy asked, grinning.
Before Billy Numerous could answer, Raven phased up through the floor behind him and, using her dark energy, formed a huge black hand that flicked them across the room, the force of the impact causing them to merge back into one again.
"Owww...aHHH!" screamed Billy Numerous as a green rhinoceros charged him, sending him flying back towards Raven.
"Catch Raven!" shouted Beast Boy, morphing back to human form.
Raven obliged by forming an open black bubble that closed as Billy Numerous landed in it.
"Maww dang!" groaned Billy Numerous. Before he could divide, Raven bopped him on the head, knocking him out with a mallet also formed from dark energy.
"That was easy." said Beast Boy walking over.
"Thankfully yes. Let's drop this loser off at the police department, then you can take me to wherever else you were planning on taking me." suggested Raven
"Okay. Lets go."
[Fifteen Minutes Later]
"There's just one thing bothering me." commented Beast Boy, on the way back from the police department.
"What's that?" asked Raven.
"Why the movie theater? There's nothing there. Billy Numerous always attacks places that store large amounts of cash, and the Hive 5 always raid places like malls and such. Its like he had nothing better to do."
"Maybe he didn't. Maybe being a nuisance is just his hobby." Raven replied
"Yeah? well, he needs a new hobby." commented Beast Boy dryly.
"Probably."
"So, about earlier... you didn't mind it?" Beast Boy hesitated.
"Hm? Oh, that, no I really didn't mind. It was... actually kind of nice..." Raven said quietly
Beast Boy slipped one hand off the wheel and grasped Raven's hand. She looked up at him startled for a moment, then smiled, squeezing his hand tighter.
Beast Boy felt his heart melt at that smile. "Thanks"
"Just doing what any other girl would do..."
"But Raven, you're not 'just any other girl', you're special, which is why we're gonna do all this special stuff- for you."
"Wait, you mean this isn't the routine, impress-the-girl day out?" asked Raven, shocked.
"Of course not! Why would I do that? If I wanted to impress you, I'd have been trying harder, and messing up more. Besides, I couldn't do some of this stuff with just any old girl, 'cuz it specially planned for you." Beast Boy said, grinning
"Really?" asked Raven, almost in tears of shock and amazement.
"Really." confirmed Beast Boy, smiling and giving her hand a light squeeze.
"Thank you. So much." Raven said, looking at him.
"Your welcome. Ah, we're here." said Beast Boy, parking the car.
And where is here? Well you'll just have to wait to find out wont you? In the meantime, Review! Seriously. There is no better way of showing your appreciation (or lack of it) than by reviewing.
