Trip to Hawaii
Robin's sleepy eyes had opened. The first thing he saw was his clock, which to his dismay said 6:30 am, which wouldn't be a problem if their flight didn't leave in about an hour, and it took an hour and a half just to drive down to the airport. Robin immediately jumped out of bed and screamed at the top of his lungs, "TITANS, GET UP! WE SLEPT IN! GRAB YOUR THINGS AND GET DOWN TO THE CAR, NOW!" When the other Titans saw their clocks, they jumped right out of bed and did what Robin said. It took them 10 minutes to pack everything in the car, make sure everyone was there, and, for Beast Boy, use the bathroom. Basically, they pulled a "Home Alone" stunt.
After they pulled out of the garage, Cyborg slammed on the nitro button as they soared over the ocean onto the land in the city. "Cy, book it!" screamed Beast Boy. "This is as fast as it goes, you little grass stain!" Unfortunately, they soon got stuck in traffic which dragged on for 20 minutes. "Our flight leaves in a half hour!" screamed Robin. "Can't you just fly this thing there like when we cross the ocean!" "IT CAN'T GO FAST ENOUGH! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAY THAT!" "Wait a minute," said Raven. "Why don't I just teleport us there?"
Cyborg glared at her. "WHY DIDN'T YOU SUGGEST THAT EARLIER!" "Maybe because amidst all the panic and craze, I FORGOT ABOUT IT!" Cyborg just stood in fear of the Goth. "Point understood. Go ahead." Within minutes, the team was at the airport and rushing out of the car. They barely made it past check-in and cargo drop-off, and just made it to their flight.
As they were walking in to find their seats, one of the staff members stopped Starfire from going in. "I'm sorry ma'am, but I can't allow you to bring your pet onboard." He was referring to Silkie, whom Starfire decided to bring along. "Don't worry, we'll put him in a cozy spot in the cargo area." "But sir, I don't think it would be wise to put my Silkie in the area of cargo." "Ma'am, please. He's not allowed on the plane." Robin jumped into the conversation. "I'd listen to her if I were you." The man looked at him. "Why is that, young man?" "Have you ever had a case where an animal got loose in the cargo and destroyed everyone's belongings?" The man shook his head. "I wouldn't make this your first one. He'll eat right through the cage and eat everything that he sees in the cargo." The staff member could tell that Robin was serious.
He decided to let them take Silkie onto the plane. "I apologize for the inconvenience, young lady." Starfire just smiled at him. "Do not feel sorry. I know you did not mean any harm. Have a pleasant day sir." The two Titans entered the plane and located their friends. Their seats were in front of Beast Boy's and Raven's, who ended up sitting together. Cyborg got his own seat. "Dudes, what the heck happened?" asked Beast Boy. "Did anybody set their alarm clocks?" asked Robin. Everyone shook their heads. Robin just stared in amazement. "I could have sworn I told you guys to set them. Oh well, we still made it."
As the plane started to move, Beast Boy looked out the window and sighed. "I miss home already," he said. "What do mean? We haven't even left Jump City yet," said Raven. Beast Boy turned around to look at her. "I know, but we're going to be gone for awhile. Robin said we wouldn't be back for 2 weeks. Aren't you going to miss home?" Raven just shook her head. "Why should I? We'll be back anyway. It's not like we plan on moving to Hawaii." Beast Boy smiled. "I just love how you can take something and bring out a bright side of it." Raven blushed. She never really thought a trait of hers could be loved. What she did next took Beast Boy by total surprise. "You know, that was the nicest thing anyone ever said to me. Thanks." Then she smiled at him. Beast Boy blushed so hard he looked like a Christmas tree.
Only a couple of hours had passed. The crew was serving dinner, and luckily for Beast Boy and Cyborg, the choices were either steak and beans or veggie burger with salad. Unfortunately, both were good choices for Silkie, who kept trying to break free of Starfire's hold of him. "Please, my little bumgorf. Do not eat everyone else's food. Unfortunately, even a Tameranean grip was no match for a very hungry mutant silk worm. Silkie broke free and started to devour everyone's food. "Beast Boy, catch him!" screamed Robin. Beast Boy leapt for him, but missed and fell flat on the floor. Silkie landed on top of him and eyed Raven's book. As he went for it, Raven spoke. "If you touch my book, I will fry you, chop you up, and feed you to the birds."
The terrified silk worm ran back into Starfire's arms. Everyone on the plane just stared at the girl, only they had looks of anger in their eyes. "I am truly sorry, everyone," said Starfire. As everyone turned back around, Beast Boy heard a teenage boy whisper, "Stupid girl." Beast Boy tapped Robin on the shoulder. "I think a guy just called Star stupid." This made Robin fill up with rage, and Starfire started to cry. "Nobody insults her," Robin thought. "Where is he Beast Boy?" Beast Boy pointed in the direction where he heard the kid. When Robin looked in that direction, he saw the only teenage boy in that general area. He walked over there.
"Hey, you." The teenager looked up and saw Robin with anger in his eyes. "What do you want?" he asked. "Did you just call my friend stupid?" The boy just grinned. "If you mean that dumb chick with the freaky worm, then yeah, I did." This just made Robin angrier. "For the record, no one insults my friends, especially her. She even apologized to everyone. The least a jerk like you could do is accept it." The boy's grin grew wider. "What are you going to do about it?" "Oh, I'm not doing anything. What I would do to would put me in jail, and just so you know, I'm very well capable of putting you in the hospital, but I'm just going to let you suffer something for a little bit. Beast Boy, come here."
Beast Boy walked over to where Robin was. "What do you want me to do, Rob?" he asked. It was Robin's turn to put on a wide grin. "Give this guy an S.W." The boy raised an eyebrow. "What the heck is an S.W?" To answer his question, Beast Boy reached grabbed the kid's underwear from behind and pulled it straight up. "An S.W. is a little thing I like to call SUPER WEDGIE!" The boy was screaming in pain as he received the most painful wedgie of his life. Robin made his way back to where he and Star sat. While still holding on, Beast Boy dragged the kid over to where Starfire was sitting, still crying. "Now, I believe you have something to say to her," said Robin. "I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! NOW LET GO!" Beast Boy let go of the kid's underwear. "Beat it," said Robin.
The kid walked funny to his seat. Once the boys sat down, Starfire grabbed them both and hugged them. "Thank you very much friends!" she screamed. Both boys were trying to breathe, but it was hard. "Starfire, you're crushing their air pipes," said Raven. Starfire let them go so they could catch their breaths. "I'm sorry friends, but I am very grateful that you two defended me." "Hey, what are friends for?" asked Robin. "I appreciate the hug Star, but please warn us before you do that, okay?" asked Beast Boy. Starfire couldn't help but giggle. "Very well," she said.
The Titans just enjoyed the rest of the flight, except for Cyborg, who unfortunately got bad steak and beans. His face turned green and he ran for the plane's bathroom. "You've got to be kidding me!" screamed Robin.
