I DON'T OWN CHARACTERS! Soooooooooo I'm like, not 100% sure where this is going, so bear with me people.

Last night I received some horrible news. Like, deadly horrible. Wally West is staying with us. So is Cyborg, but I don't mind him. Sure, I don't hate Kid Flash, but I mean come on... really? This is what I get for being bad luck, shoulda guessed. Dear God, or X'Hal, please don't let me die on this vacation.

"Yeah, everybody survived. Actually, they're the first group of people to survive uh... boating in Tamaranian waters." Jinx looked at her family through her phone screen. They had all piled up in front of the camera.

"Well that's good honey." Her mother smiled at her gently.

"Oh, and they have these rocks that show the strength of your relationship with somebody. It's really cool. I think they're called like grandragons or like gomginomees, I don't know." Jinx shook her head.

"Gandrianons!" Starfire chirped in, making Jinx flip around to see her int he doorway.

"Guys, here's Starfire." Star came over and put her face Beside Jinx's.

"Woah, you got bangs! They look good!" Jaide cheered from the other side of the camera.

"Thanks to you, friend Jaide." Starfire giggled, "We will be doing the going soon friend Jinx." Starfire looked over at Jinx.

"Alright guys, I gotta go." Jinx waved to them.

"Wait!" Jinx stopped her finger that was about to tap the "end call" button. She looked at Julie, her youngest sister.

"What's up Foolie Julie?" She smiled at the small girl.

"Look! Look at Tiny!" She held up the black cat. He was chubby now, still pretty little height-wise, but the little kitten appeared to be horizontally challenged. He was like a big cotton ball stumbling around on little stubby legs. And her dad was definitely at fault for Tiny's physique. He kept on giving the little guy all the treats and wet food he desired. She should've known her dad would spoil the poor kitten.

"Hey bud!" She cooed at the kitten, who meowed at her in recognition. "Okay, I really gotta go, bye!" She ended the call and turned back to Starfire.

"Your family has very much of the loveliness." Starfire smiled brightly.

"Thanks." Jinx chuckled. "Alright, where are we heading?"

"More festivities." Starfire smiled as they walked downstairs.

"Or you can come visit us at the yogurt shop today?" Myan greeted them at the bottom of the staircase.

"Yogurt shop?" Jinx asked.

"Yeah, it was Myan's first business." Luanda chuckled and walked over to her husband. She leaned up and pecked his cheek, Myan smiled in pure bliss.

"I think it sounds pretty cool." Bumblebee spoke up from her seat on the couch next to Cyborg. Her legs splayed comfortably over his, his hands resting gently upon her knees.

"Yeah, plus it'll be easy to get some customers with all the people trapped on the island." Blackfire chuckled from her seat at the kitchen table, her chin resting heavily in her hands.

"Yes! Yes! And last night Ryand had the most wonderful idea to fill the shops with glowing lights to attract the customers, I plan on putting them up tonight!" Myan laughed heartily.

"The thanks to you, father." Ryand bashfully rubbed the back of his neck. Then the door swung open and in flew his girlfriend.

"Good morning everyone!" Whindr' smiled brightly as she entered the household.

"Whin!" Ryand flew over to her and kissed her nose. Whindr' smiled at him and turned her head to look at everyone else in the living room.

"I found somebody while I was in the hospital this morning." She smiled at them even brighter than before. Raven closed the book she had been reading and looked up. She nearly dropped the damn book as a green giant walked through the door.

"Hey dudes!" Beast Boy waved to his friends.

"Friend Beast Boy!" Starfire flew over to him and gave him a quick hug.

"Hey Star!" He laughed.

"Good to see you man." Kid Flash gave him a high-five.

"Welcome back Grass Stain." Cyborg snatched the green wolf into a bone crushing hug. Raven suddenly became very self-conscious about her choice to wear pajamas today instead of a proper outfit. Her hair was down as-per-usual. Raven's pajamas consisted of a baggy gray tee-shirt and a pair of purple-blue sleep shorts. She had woken up that morning and just wasn't feeling it. So she slipped on her indigo converse and called it an outfit. An outfit she was now regretting.

"Rae!" Raven hadn't realized she had stood up. The green boy engulfed her in a warm, familiar hug. He lifted her feet off the ground as he stood up more. He had grown again. Again! He was already taller than Cyborg, just how tall did this guy plan to get? "I missed you" His voice had lowered a few octaves, so that nobody but Raven could hear him whisper in her ear. Raven felt thankful that her face was buried in his shoulder, hiding her red cheeks. He had lowered her feet back to the ground as he whispered to her. Suddenly, the kitchen sink exploded, causing Luanda to shriek as water squirted up to the ceiling.

"Sorry." Raven murmured, pushing away from Beast Boy. She turned around and looked at the sink. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos." The faucet lifted up off the ground and was placed back on the sink, effectively stopping the water. Raven turned back around to face the living room.

"Father, perhaps we may partake in the festivities and do the meeting with you after the lunch?" Starfire asked her dad.

"Of course! Green One, welcome to our home, have a wonderful time at the festival." Beast Boy nodded to Myan and followed the others out the door murmuring "green one" under his breath.

Raven cleared her throat and sat down on the ground, taking up a small speck of the vast amount of clear space surrounding them. They would spend a majority of the morning watching a play. The play would be in English. It was about the origin of their Goddess, X'Hal. She sat Indian style, the ripe green grass tickling her legs.

"I did the starring in the play a few of the times when I had less of the age." Starfire smiled brightly, plopping down beside Raven. Kole sat down beside her.

"Really? What parts did you play?"

"Oh, the tree, the people of normality," Starfire shrugged.

"Oh..." Kole rubbed the back of her head.

"But the very last time I did the starring, I did the performance as X'Hal when she had less of the age." Starfire smiled brightly.

"That's really cool!" Kole smiled brightly.

"So, how many Gods do you guys believe in?" Bumblebee asked as she sat down next to Kole, Cyborg beside her.

"Oh, the many, many, many. I can the not even do the counting of them." Starfire giggled. Raven nodded and turned her head away from the conversation, resting her head on her arms, which were resting on her knees. She blinked a couple times. She hated to admit it, but she felt as though a weight had been lifted off of her knowing that Beast Boy was awake and unharmed.

"Aww, I feel loved Rae, truly, I do." Raven's head snapped up as Beast Boy settled down next to her.

"Beast Boy, stop reading my mind." Raven didn't even spare him a glance.

"I can't, you'll never be honest about how you're feeling if I don't look into your big brain." He said matter-of-factly. Raven huffed and turned her head to look at him.

"It doesn't matter what I'm feeling."

"Yes it does!" Beast Boy had answered her immediately. More people began filing into the black tent. Raven turned her head to look forwards, hiding her blush behind her purple hair.

"It really doesn't" She tried to reason with him.

"Yeah, Rae, it does. No matter what you tell yourself mama, you know it does." Beast Boy crossed his arms and let out a stubborn huff. Raven spared a glance at him, but immediately looked back at the closed curtains as her heart jumped for a split second.

"X'Hal" The little girl on the stage said. Her skin was golden. Her hair was red, but it sparkled as though it were encased in golden flecks. Her eyes were a vibrant red, her pupils a shiny gold. "Yes, that is my name!"

"So cute." Bumblebee whispered as she cuddled up to Cyborg. His legs were stretched out and his arms were holding his metal body up. Bumblebee was leaning on his chest, her arms wrapped around his torso. Her knees were bent and resting on his left thigh. Cyborg chuckled and lifted one of his hands, gently running his metal fingers through her curly hair.

Ever since he had woken up, the both of them had been all over each other. They were always next to each other. They hugged all the time and when they sat down, they sat down together. They cuddled. Although, it had only been a night since Cyborg had woken up, Bee felt this sort of unbreakable bond. She never wanted to leave his side. The feeling seemed to be mutual. Over the summer they had grown rather close, in a physical sense.

Cuddling while watching movies or playing video games. Cyborg had even slept over 3 times. The first time he slept on the couch, but after that Bumblebee had insisted that he sleep in the bed with her. She liked him so much. Argent, who was sitting beside them, rose her eyebrows. She elbowed Jinx, who was beside her.

Jinx turned her head and Argent pointed at the two beside her. Jinx giggled and whispered a quiet "get it girl," before turning her head back to watch the play. Kid Flash poked her elbow and she turned to look at him. He flicked his palms out and pulled a confused face, symbolizing him asking about what she was on about. Jinx leaned back and pointed at the two cuddlebugs and Wally chuckled.

They were three quarters of the way through the play when Argent was tapped on her shoulder. She turned around to see a Tamaranian guy. He was a bit thinner than the other guys, but other than that, there wasn't much of a difference between him and the other natives. He pointed at the exit and started walking to it. Argent's eyebrows creased as she got up and followed him out of the black tent.

"Eh, wha's 'appenin'?" Argent crossed her arms. The man looked at her as though she had grown three heads and Argent rolled her eyes.

"Hospital." He pointed to the building. "You should go there. The person you asked for has awakened." Argent raised her eyebrows. Yes, she had asked them to tell her when Hot Spot got up. Sue her. School wouldn't be as much fun if her rival wound up dying or in a coma. Maybe, just maybe, Argent felt like she needed to keep the fire monster around.

"Thank ye mate." She rose into the air and started flying towards the medical center. If she wanted to communicate with these people she was gonna have to really clean up her accent, wouldn't she? Argent rolled her eyes as the hospital got closer. Even though he couldn't understand her, the message was received and that's all that mattered.

Argent opened the doors to the medical clinic and walked in.

"Ah, welcome." A male nurse greeted her, "Your lover is located in this room." He pointed to the room number on his clip board.

"H-He's not my l-" The man walked away to go and tend to some other people. Argent sighed and smacked her cheeks a couple times so that they would stop turning red. Then she was off to Hot Spot's room. Most of the rooms only had 2 or 3 people in them and the hallways were now empty. How many people had woken up since the crash? It looked like most of the people were up. That was great.

"You're the five-hundred and eleventh person to awake. Welcome to Tamaran." Argent heard Myan's voice. She turned into the room. There was one person sleeping still in the room. And Hot Spot. He was awake and asking Myan questions about what in the world was going on.

"Hello love." Argent greeted, trying to calm down her excited heart.

"Arg? What are you doing here?"

"Ah, I see, Argent and you are friends, then you will stay with us as well." Myan smiled. "I will be heading to lunch soon, you two must join me, then we can go to the yogurt shop." Argent smiled and nodded.

"Sure 'ting." She laughed as the grown man all but skipped out of the hospital room.

"Before the lunch we may do the dolphin watching on the beach." Starfire said, pulling Kole by her hand.

"I hope Argent is okay." Bumblebee said from her spot next to Cyborg as they walked.

"Some guy came and got her, do you think she's alright?" Jinx asked. She had just pushed Wally away from her for the fifth time. Raven came up beside her, being stuck in a similar situation.

"All of the courses friend Jinx, people do not get in the trouble here." Star giggled.

"Except for the boats and people that get eaten by the giant sea monsters surrounding Tamaran." Raven stated sarcastically.

"Can't forget about those." Beast Boy sighed, rubbing the back of his head. He had no idea what had happened after he blacked out. Turns out the other boys had the same story. But, one thing was for sure, they should be dead. It's impossible to crash into a mountain like that and survive. There was just no way.

"Well, at least we're historical figures now," Wally pointed out, "Can cross that one off the old bucket list." He chuckled. Jinx rolled her eyes at him and shook her head.

"Oh yeah, right under being attacked by a monster." Beast Boy laughed.

"We have arrived." Starfire smiled brightly. They were on the clear beach. There was a table with an umbrella above it and binoculars on it. She walked over to the table. "How the evers, the Dolphins are not the oftenly viewed." Star pulled up a pair of binoculars and looked out at the quiet rippling water. Kole also looked out at the deep ocean, a certain nervous air spreading out around her as she twiddled her thumbs and nibbled her lip.

The others had collected around the table and were looking out at the water, hoping to catch sight of a Dolphin. Kole sighed and looked at the horrible sea. She sighed, as long as she didn't touch the water, she would be safe, not that the monsters could reach her if she were on the island. Kole decided to sit down on the sand and look at the water.

Unlike most beaches, where the tides come in and they're sloped into the water, Tamaran was like a giant rock in the middle of the ocean. Sure, the outer rim was sandy, but it was like a cliff. The water lapped at the edges of the island, it was a straight drop down. That made Kole even more nervous.

"I can't see any." She heard Bumblebee say to Cyborg, who agreed with her. Suddenly, Kole saw something in the water. It was kind of light and it was rising, she immediately assumed it was a monster and made a move to get up and run, but before she got up it popped out of the water. A Dolphin. Not just any Dolphin, it had a little scar by it's top fin. It was the Dolphin she had made friends with when the monsters attacked the cruise ship.

"Why don't we just head down to lunch?" Jinx asked. Kole leaned forward and rested her hand on it's nose.

"Apologies. I had the hope we would do the seeing of one." Starfire said.

"Uh, guys?" Kole asked as the Dolphin rubbed its head into her hands.

"It's cool Star." Raven said

"Guys" Kole tried again.

"What do you dudes eat around here?" Beast Boy asked.

"Oh, everything is huge and some of them are colored funny, but it all tastes good" Kid Flash answered.

"GUYS!" Kole finally yelled and the teenagers looked over at her.

"D-Dolphin!" Starfire pointed at Kole's new friend.

A bowl of green sludge with tentacles flopping out of it. Hot Spot's eyes went wide and he puckered hip lips, staring at the concoction before him. He made a little sound with his tongue and pressed his lips into a thin line. He glanced over at Myan, who had picked up one of the tentacles and was dipping it in the green stuff. He then bit into it, chewing it slowly.

"Everything alright?" He asked the boy. Hot Spot coughed.

"Uh ye-yeah, fine!" He smiled. He looked over at Argent, who was poking one of the tentacles with her spoon. She put it down and slowly picked up a tentacle. She winced as the slimy thing touched her fingers. She gulped and put the slimy, sticky, purple tentacle in her mouth and bit into it. It was really tough, so she really had to chew it. However, the second she began chewing flavor burst into her mouth.

"So good!" She murmured. Hot Spot raised his eyebrows and picked up a tentacle. He took a gracious bite, squinting as the slimy thing slid across his tongue. He sunk his teeth into it and an explosion of flavor occurred along his taste buds.

"Mhmm" He agreed with Argent as they both dug into the Tamaranian cuisine.

"There you go kids, don't be afraid to dig into it." Myan chuckled.

The squid dip thing was literally one of the best things that Argent had ever tasted. It was around 2 in the Afternoon. If she understood everything correctly, the plan was to hang out in the yogurt shop for the rest of the day. The three of them were walking to said Yogurt Shop.

"So I'm marooned here for the next 25 days?" Hot Spot asked Argent, nudging her with his elbow. Argent looked up at him, she and Hot Spot had played basketball together every now and then over the summer, but it was only in that moment that she realized how much taller he had gotten. He and Kid Flash used to be the same height, but after seeing both of them, Hot Spot was coming up on Cyborg. Sure, Kid Flash had grown too, but Hot Spot had grown so much more.

"Yea." She answered, hoping that he hadn't noticed her staring for just a second too long than she should have.

"Awesome!" He threw his hands up in the air and laughed. "I'd rather be on an island than on a boat." He chuckled and Argent smiled at him.

"We're here." The two turned to look at the yogurt shop. It was square. Silver. It had lots of large oval-shaped windows. There were two white doors with portholes in them. They walked through the double doors to find the rest of their friends already there.

"Hot Spot!" Kid Flash fist bumped his friend.

They stayed in the yogurt shop, goofing around and laughing. Koma, Ryand, Whindr', and Luanda were all there too. They talked about insignificant things and caught up with one another. Before any of them knew it the sun was setting. Multiple customers had come in, a lot of them were people from the cruise.

"So Beast Boy's birthday was on the first Thursday of Summer?" Bumblebee asked from her position on Cyborg's lap. A thing that none of them were used to yet.

"Yeah dudes, you're looking at a mature sixteen year old." Beast Boy said, striking a pose. This caused the teenagers around him to start laughing. They were about to crack another joke when the door opened, the bell dinging to alert everyone of the new customer.

"Welcome-" Myan turned around, but his voice got caught in his throat. There stood Jodule. The blond Tamaranian man that Myan had been fighting with on their second day.

"Myan, nice to see you. How's business?" It would be a normal conversation if it weren't for Jodule's tone. At first, his words were stretched out a bit, like how two-faced people talk when they're pretending to be nice. Then, he squinted his eyes as he talked about business.

"Fine Jodule, business is fine" Myan answered cautiously.

"I see." Jodule slowly walked around the shop.

"What do you want?" Blackfire asked, crossing her legs and giving Jodule a sharp glare.

"I merely wish to show you my latest idea." Jodule smiled at her, "I like this one, just as vicious as her father." Jodule chuckled again.

"And just as strong, so I suggest you hold your tongue." Luanda crossed her arms.

"Luanda." He nodded to her and smiled.

"Jodule." Luanda continued to glare at him.

"Aww, don't be like that." Jodule reached towards Luanda, but his hand was caught.

"Please, do not do the touching of my mother." Jodule looked over at Ryand, who was holding his wrist.

"Why, what a strong young one you've grown up to be, Ryand, last time I saw you, you were just an infant." Jodule yanked his out of Ryand's grasp. Whindr' cowered behind Ryand.

"What is your purpose for being the here?" Starfire had asked. Unlike her other family members, her voice held no venom.

"And peaceful little Kori, too? Well, the whole gang is here." He chuckled, "You have grown into such a beauty, my dear, just like your mother." He chuckled.

"Creepy." The word slipped past Jinx's lips before she could think better.

"Sorry? And who might yo be young lady?"

"None of your business, you creep. Aren't you like a hundred years old, don't tell her she's beautiful like that, it's seriously creepy. You aren't her dad." Jodule had leaned on the table, getting eye level with Jinx. He meant to intimidate her, but that didn't work on Jinx. That hadn't worked on her in a long time. Her arms and legs were crossed, she remained unfazed.

"Huh." He stood back up, mildly confused by her lack of fear.

"Jodule, I think you've outstayed your welcome." Myan said crossing his arms.

"Don't worry old friend, I just want you to see something." Jodule walked back up to Myan. "In three, two, one" He snapped his fingers and a section of the island in the distance lit up so brightly it could be seen from the shop. "I covered all my shops in lights, I've out-shined you, good luck getting customers now." Jodule cackled before exiting.

"How does he do it?!" Myan yelled. "He's always one step ahead of me these days! How is he stealing all our ideas!"

"What were you thinking, why didn't you keep quiet around that guy?" Wally complained as they walked home. "He's probably stalking you now!"

"Calm down dad, he's too caught up in this whole rivalry thing to even think about me, I promise." Jinx rolled her eyes.

"Jinx." He grabbed her hand and span her around.

"Yes?" She looked down at her captive hand and then back up at him. Wally sighed.

"Just, be careful, will you?" He tugged her closer to him by her hand. His chest was now all she could see, and Jinx blushed ever so slightly.

"I'm a big girl, I can handle myself." Jinx rolled her eyes before pulling her hand away from his and marching down the pathway to the house.

"I know." He murmured before running back up beside her.

Still not awake. Jericho was still not awake. Kole had come to the hospital with Starfire for one last late night check up. Nobody was walking up. 531 people had woken up. There were 106 people still unconscious.

Kole played gently with his hand. It was going to be alright. He would wake up. Kole lifted his hand to her lips and gently kissed his knuckles. She lightly trailed her hands up to the side of his face and kissed his cheek. Then she kissed his head, blushing brightly. She leaned back and looked down at his unconscious face. Kole leaned down and pecked his lips quickly. And just like the night before, she ran a hand through his hair.

"I love you"

Starfire looked down at Robin. He still wasn't awake. She sighed. He was a vampire, shouldn't he be awake? She just didn't understand.

"Star?" Starfire turned around to look at Kole.

"Yes, let us do the going." She spared a last glance at her friend before exiting the hospital room and heading home with Kole.
