Nobody talked all morning they were so tired from last night, they almost collapsed on their knees sleeping. They were driving their way to Seattle Washington. Beast Boy and Starfire were looking at the maps when Beast Boy saw a great place to take Raven.

"This place looks glorious!" Starfire pointed to Seattle Center on the brochure map.

"That's Seattle Center Star, so cool." Beast Boy thought about the awesome fun they were going to have.

"Hey Cyborg where are you planning on going?" Robin asked.

"Well let's see, I need to drive you and Star to Seattle Center, then I'm going to drive Raven to the Washington Park Arboretum, and-"

"Raven you're not coming with us?" Beast Boy put his hands on his head.

"Well, what can I do there? Swim with you guys?" Raven shrugged.

"It's not actually swimming Raven, but y-" Robin started.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Beast Boy pointed to himself.

"Why do you care so much?" Raven asked with a confused face.

"Umm…well you, deserve some more fun?" Beast Boy covered up.

"I don't do that much fun. Plus I don't wanna be a bother to you guys." Raven replied. It was quiet for the rest of the trip. No speaking, just the sounds of being inside a moving car.

"Seattle!" Cyborg looked around the buildings that reflected the sun's glare.

"I see the Space Needle!" Beast Boy pointed outside the window at the tower. Cyborg stopped at the loading place and Robin and Starfire got off with their belongings.

"So we'll pick Raven up when she calls us, then we head off to Idaho." Robin gave his signature thumbs up, and Cyborg pulled the T-car away from his parking space.

"So Raven, what's an arboretum? And what are you going to do there?" Cyborg asked her.

"An arboretum is a botanical garden, mainly filled with trees. It'd be a great place to meditate after what we've all been through so far. I have hardly anytime to meditate anymore." Raven looked from out the window to down at her feet.

"You seem depressed. Maybe Beast Boy was right, you might need a little more fun." Cyborg snickered. Raven rolled her eyes and sighed.

"You bet I was right!"

"BEAST BOY!" Cyborg and Raven jerked their heads over their shoulders. Cyborg quickly turned towards the wheel and slammed on the brakes. "Man what are you doing here?" Cyborg asked him.

"Uh…I wanted to go to the arbortorium thing…" Beast Boy said softly.

"Arboretum." Raven corrected.

"You could've let us know!" Cyborg argued.

"Yeah but I wanted it to be a surprise." Beast Boy lied.

"That doesn't convince us." Raven shot a warning look at him.

"Ok ok you got me! I changed my mind at the last minute and you left before I could tell you." Beast Boy caught his breath. "That ought' a convince them," Beast Boy thought. Cyborg just made a 'thinking face' and Raven raised an eyebrow.

"Well Raven here's your stop." Cyborg stopped in front of the trail and dropped Raven off. Beast Boy jumped out alongside of her. "Now if you need to be picked up or if there's a problem, use your communicator." Cyborg winked and drove away.

"Like I have a choice." Raven muttered.

"So Raven, what do you wanna do?" Beast Boy shuddered. He took his camera from his pocket and checked the memory card.

"Well, I'm going to walk around…" Raven replied. There was nothing to do but to walk around and view the scenery in a botanical garden.

"Oh…well, then let's go." Beast Boy scratched his head.

Robin and Starfire were headed towards The International Fountain. People (especially children) were taking a soak in the huge circle. All the cute little kids playing around with the water delighted Starfire.

"How wonderful!" Starfire cheered. Robin smiled and took her hand. Starfire looked down and then at Robin. Together they strolled around the park, to the museums, houses, and buildings where they observed everything. Especially, the Metropolis.

"This is cool." Robin told her.

"Unbelievably 'cool'!" Starfire clapped.

Cyborg got back and mad his way to the Space Needle. Looking down from the observation deck gave him an amazing view of Seattle.

"Sweet!" Cyborg took many pictures with his camera.

Beast Boy snapped pictures only at the trees that seemed pretty to him. Not so long after, Beast Boy saw Raven who was meditating in the middle of two trees in the Woodland Garden lawn.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos…" In the usual tone.

"Hey Raven, how do you focus so hard?" Beast boy sat next to her.

"Years of practice for me." She replied with her eyes closed. Beast Boy just sat there trying to forget all his worries and thoughts.

"This is impossible!" Beast Boy jumped up and down. Raven opened one eye and looked at him. She tried to stop her laugh, but let out a small grin.

"You wanna take another walk? That sort of helps." Raven said in her usual monotone voice.

"Uhm Ok." Beast Boy shrugged. As they were walking, he almost got the hang of it. The only thought in his mind was Raven. "Why can't I get her out of my mind!" he shouted. He looked to see Raven, who stopped and stared at him. She raised an eyebrow as Beast Boy coughed and tried to look normal.

"Whatever you're doing, you're trying too hard." Raven told him. They had stopped under giant sequoias that toward over them.

"You think so?" Beast Boy looked with a surprise face.

"Just relax." Raven instructed. Beast Boy immediately realized she was talking about the meditation method. He thought his feelings were blown.

"You it's getting dark, we should be calling Cyborg to pick us up." Beast Boy changed the subject.

"Why are you in a hurry all the time now?" Raven asked.

"Because I love y-. I love this vacation!" Beast Boy couldn't hold it in much longer but quickly caught himself. Raven was no longer paying attention because Cyborg was on the communicator.

"Hey Rae we're coming to pick you and BB up so go where I dropped you off." Cyborg instructed.

"Sure thing Cyborg." Raven said blankly. Beast Boy and Raven walked towards the pick-up spot and waited. Soon, the T-car pulled over for them to get on.

"Let this vacation be perpetual, because we're going to Idaho!" Cyborg told them. Beast Boy didn't get the joke but Raven just sighed at the horrible pun.
