Chapter 4: Beast Boy's Date with Destiny Part 2
"Fang?! But I thought you were in jail..." Robin gasped, going near the small object meaning to grab it from the ground.
"I was but got bored. Leave that box alone!" Fang warned, as he walked closer to Robin. "It's mine!"
"What's inside it?" Robin questioned, determined to find out why it's so important to Fang. He worried it might have been something dangerous.
"It's for me to know and you to never find out..." Fang snapped prepared to fight for the box.
Robin nodded to Starfire to tell her to pick it up. Starfire picked the small box up and held it in her hand. It was a small velvet blue box, with an engagement ring inside, however, the Titans weren't aware of the content in it as they expected it to be something dangerous.
"Give it to me!" Fang demanded, walking over to Starfire, meaning to snatch the box from her.
"I will not return it to you unless you tell...Eep!" Starfire began before Fang spat out venom at her, paralyzing her instantly.
"STARFIRE!" Robin cried out. "You're going to pay for this Fang!" He hissed, rushing to Starfire's side.
"Heh! That should keep you out of my way!" Fang smirked, he then snatched the box from Starfire's hand and ran off with a satisfied smile on his face.
Robin held Starfire up so she wouldn't fall over. It reminded him of the time that he got paralyzed by Fang's venom. He watched Fang running away with the small box.
"Keh!" Robin muttered, wishing he could go after Fang to get him back for paralyzing Starfire. "Let's take you back to the Tower."
"But..." Starfire said, before she could say anything else Robin picked her up in his arms. "Your more important than Fang is Star... I'll let the others know what happened once we get back home."
"Ooh this looks like fun! Let's go on this ride!" Kitten exclaimed, grabbing Beast Boy's arm and dragging him into the Bumper Cars. Fortunately, not many people were lined up, so it was easy for them to get on the ride.
Raven smirked, seeing that Kitten wanted to go into the Bumper Car Ride. She watched as Kitten got into a pink car. Beast Boy had chosen a blue car.
When Kitten started the car, she began driving it straight forward meaning to bump into another car. Raven used her powers to make Kitten's car go backwards instead of straight forward.
"Stupid car! Go forward not backwards!" Kitten yelled at her car, slamming her fist onto the dashboard. Kitten tried to make her car reverse. Raven used her powers again, this time making the car go straight ahead. She made the car bump into the edge of the ride, making Kitten jump.
Beast Boy drove towards Kitten, who at once tried driving away only finding the car wouldn't go. "EEIK!" She cried out as Beast Boy drove his car into her car. Kitten's car slid across the other side of the bumper car ride, where the unused cars were parked.
"EIK!" Kitten screamed, then jumped out of her car. "Stupid car doesn't work properly. Give me your car" She hissed at Beast Boy, as she walked over to his, she then grabbed his tuxedo to make him give her his car.
"Maybe it's just the driver?" He suggested. Kitten then shoved him back down in annoyance.
"I'm not the problem! It's the car! I tried making it drive straight and the stupid thing went in reverse...I tried reversing the car and it went straight!" Kitten spat on the ground in disgust and folded her arms.
Beast Boy shrugged. "As I said...It must be the driver! Mine works fine!" He then walked away from the cars; Kitten slapped him for that remark in anger.
"My driving is perfectly fine thanks!" Kitten retorted with a huff.
Raven watched in anger after Kitten slapped and shoved Beast Boy. 'Nobody does that to my Beast Boy and gets away with it' Raven thought. She waited for Beast Boy to get off the ride and once Beast Boy was out the way from where the cars were, Raven used her powers again to move the pink car towards Kitten, knocking her over. Raven then left the pink car alone where it was.
"GNH!" Kitten fell over when she felt something push her down, she turned around scream when she saw it was the pink car that had knocked her over. "See? The pink car knocked me over! There's nothing wrong with me, it's the car!" She snapped at Beast Boy. "Now help me up!"
Beast Boy gave a sigh then helped Kitten up. "Come on let's go on a different ride." He said, putting his hand out to Kitten.
Kitten looked at Beast Boy scornfully as she folded her arms. "What ride should we go on then?" She ignored him when he put his hand out to her.
"How about the um...Roller Coaster?" Beast Boy asked after a while of thinking.
"Are you crazy? I hate Roller Coasters..."
"The Haunted House?"
"No thanks! Too many bats!"
"Hmm The Ghost Train?"
"Hmph! Ghosts don't exist stupid!" Kitten hissed at Beast Boy.
Raven had once again began lurking in the shadows, watching Kitten and Beast Boy's every move quietly.
"Well, I give up! Your turn to pick!" Beast Boy complained.
"Me? You're the one who's meant to be picking the rides for us to go on!" Kitten snapped, walking past the food courts. She stopped to smell the delicious food; her stomach began to rumble loudly.
"Let's have something to eat first." Kitten changed the topic and raced over to the hot dog store.
A teenaged boy served Kitten. "How may I help you?" He asked, adding a boring tone to his voice.
"Uh yeah I'd like two hot dogs and a coke." Kitten demanded, slamming her hands down on the counter. "And make with the haste, I'm starving here!"
Beast Boy stared at her and rolled his eyes. 'So glad she's not my real girlfriend! She doesn't even have any manners! Then again that's normal for a bad guy I guess!' He thought.
The teenaged boy handed Kitten her hot dogs and her coke. "That would be five dollars thanks!"
"WHAT? I don't have that kind of money, that's a rip off!" Kitten snarled at the teenager, who looked back at Kitten with a sweat drop.
"I'll pay for it!" Beast Boy dug into his pockets, meaning to hand the boy the cash.
Kitten had stuffed a hot dog in her mouth while holding her coke under her right arm, she held the other hot dog in her right hand.
When Beast Boy found the money, he went to hand it over to the boy behind the hot dog stand, Kitten made a grab for his five dollar note with her left hand and was about to shove it in her dress pocket.
Raven watched, she used her powers to grab the five dollar note from Kitten and gave it to the teenaged boy.
"Seriously Kitten are you that desperate for money?" Beast Boy said, disgusted with her.
Kitten scoffed her hot dogs down and guzzled the coke then gave a loud burp. Normally Beast Boy would've laughed at anyone doing a burp, but he didn't this time.
"Now what should we do?" Kitten asked, sounding bored. She sat down near Beast Boy and twiddled with her fingers.
Beast Boy was about to answer but was interrupted by his communicator ringing. He answered it and walked away a bit from Kitten, so she didn't hear what was going on.
"Beast Boy? How are things going with Kitten?" Robin asked.
"To be honest...Terrible!"
"I've got some bad news... Star and I bumped into Fang a few minutes ago and Fang paralyzed her...I'm back at the Tower with Star right now. Be on a look out for him!"
"GNH! He did what to Star?" Beast Boy cried out worriedly. "Didn't he paralyze you last time? Is she going to be, ok?"
"He paralyzed me last time but this time he paralyzed Star. She's alright at the moment, I gave her the cure a few minutes ago now she's just resting...You can end things with Kitten whenever you want to Beast Boy. It turns out the detonators aren't real. I'm going to send this message to Cy and Ember, Robin out!"
Beast Boy gave a sigh with relief learning that Starfire was going to be fine.
"Beastie Bear?" Kitten purred looking over at the green teen. "What should we do now?" She repeated herself, she ran her fingers through her hair and smiled while looking at him.
"Why don't we go to the Side Show Alley and see what good prizes they have there?" Beast Boy suggested, he was planning to end the date very soon.
Kitten gave him a weak smile. "Sure! Sounds fun, can you win me something?"
"Uh I'll try!" Beast Boy walked beside her, trying to work out how to end the date. He didn't want to copy Robin's way of ending it. Raven walked past them, wearing her hood over her head, fortunately Kitten didn't notice her.
"Beastie Bear...Can you win me that kitten?" Kitten asked, putting her arms around him as they walked over to a Side Show. For the top prize it had a giant Tortoiseshell Kitten Plushie.
Beast Boy nodded. "Alright Kitten..." He walked over to the Side Show that had the Tortoiseshell Kitten Plushie as a prize. He talked to a young woman who was behind the counter of the Side Show for a moment. Kitten joined his side.
"What do I have to do?" Kitten asked.
"You see these bottles? You have to knock them over with a ball... If you knock all six over, you win the Kitten as a prize." The woman explained.
Beast Boy sensed that Raven was nearby, watching them. He smiled in relief for a moment then looked at Kitten who held a ball in her left hand.
"Alright..nThat's easy as pie!" Kitten chirped. "HEEEYAAAH!" Kitten threw the ball but missed, the ball hit the wall behind the counter which had a shelf full of prizes on it. However, little did Kitten know each time she attempted to throw the ball, Raven would make the ball miss the object.
When Raven watched Kitten's ball 'miss' the bottles, she then used her powers to make all the prizes on the shelf at the Side Show fall down on top of Kitten.
Kitten gave an angry exclamation. "Listen lady...Your side show is rigged!" She hissed at the woman who laughed at Kitten who got buried under the prizes.
The woman stopped laughing for a moment then frowned at Kitten. Kitten looked at the woman in disgust.
"Now pick up all of my prizes and hand them back over to the counter..." The woman demanded.
"Do it your-self, old woman!" Kitten replied rudely, getting up she looked over at Beast Boy who knew what he had to do.
"Uh Kitten?" Beast Boy looked at her awkwardly. "We're through...I'm ending this date here and now..." He then left the blonde alone to find Raven. He couldn't stand Kitten any longer.
"Old woman did you say?!" The woman behind the counter got out from the Side Show and was now in front of Kitten's face. "Now listen to me young lady! Clean up this mess or get outta here!"
Between being dumped or being told to clean up after herself, Kitten couldn't decide which one was worse. "MAKE ME!" Kitten snapped back at her. She was ready to flee.
The woman was about to grab Kitten by her shoulder, in order to make Kitten clean up the prizes that had fallen on the ground. She gasped when she heard someone calling out 'A man eating spider!'
"EEEIK! A MAN EATING SPIDER!" A young woman cried out in fear, pointing at Fang as he entered the Carnival, holding the box in his hand tightly.
"EVERYONE! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"HE WILL EAT YOU IF YOU GO NEAR HIM!"
Fang rolled his eyes as he barged his way through the crowd, not caring for the people that were in it. He pushed the ones down that stood in his way. He was only after one person.
People began screaming and running around, trying to gather their loved ones and their prizes that they had won from the Side Shows, many left the Carnival.
Beast Boy finally found Raven, who was watching people running and screaming trying to get away from Fang. "Rae?" He whispered softly to her, putting his hand on her right shoulder. Fang wasn't interested in attacking people that day, as he was only interested in one person: Kitten.
Raven turned around and smiled for the first time that night. "Beast Boy..." She flung her arms around his neck and hugged him. He smiled and returned the hug.
"We still need to talk...Let's go to the Ferris Wheel, nobody's there on the ride!"
Beast Boy smiled and held his hand out to Raven, she put her hand in his.
"I'm so glad tonight's over...Well the so-called date with Kitten anyway" Beast Boy said in relief, as they made their way to the Ferris Wheel. A lot of people have left the Carnival because they feared Fang.
The two Teen Titans arrived at the Ferris Wheel, Beast Boy let Raven onto the first carriage then he got on after her.
"FANG!?" Kitten exclaimed waving her hands over to him, as she watched the half man half spider coming towards her, ignoring the people screaming.
The woman that had been with Kitten, disappeared into the shadows once she saw the sight of Fang. The woman was obviously terrified of spiders.
"Kitten! I've came back for you baby! I'm really sorry for saying I liked that girl; I was only talking sarcasm." Fang sat with Kitten for a moment and looked at all the prizes that were in front of her.
"Oh Fangy pooh! I forgive you. I'm sorry for dating a Teen Titan. I only did that to get back at you. I missed you so much Fang!" Kitten hugged him tight, with her eyes shining.
A smile crept over Fang's face. "Did you win all those prizes?" He asked, pointing to the pile of stuffed plushies and toys on the ground.
"Yes! I did, aren't I great?" Kitten lied to him, smiling happy to see him once more.
Fang believed her. "Oh, Kitten you really are wonderful... And look what I have for you..." He smiled and gave her a small box.
"Kitten...I'm tired of us fighting, and I want us to stay as a couple for eternity...Will you marry me?" Fang asked, while she opened the box. Kitten gasped spotting a engagement ring inside.
"Oh Fangy Pooh! Of course, I will marry you! MWAA!" Kitten exclaimed, hugging him again, she then pressed her lips against his.
Fang and Kitten smiled at one another as Kitten slipped the ring onto her finger. They then left the Carnival.
Awkward silence filled the air as Beast Boy dug around for something in his pockets, Raven looked at the nighttime sky watching as the stars twinkled. Their Ferris Wheel carriage was now on top of the ride.
"Beast Boy...About earlier...Did you really mean what you said to me? That you love me and want me to be your girlfriend?" Raven asked, after trying to find the right words to say to him.
Silence rose once again as Beast Boy tried finding the right words, he held something round and tiny in his right hand. He nodded and smiled. "I meant it Raven. I love you so much...You're everything to me."
"B...I love you too...I know I'm not great with this romance, but I'm sure I can learn from you" Raven smiled to him.
"Rae...I got you something earlier today." Beast Boy took her right hand and put small something in it.
Raven watched him remove his hand for a moment and saw a golden ring with a sapphire stone on it. "Beast Boy...Its beautiful..." She whispered quietly, blushing as she looked at the ring, smiling she put it on her left hand's ring finger. "T-Thank you..."
"But you're more beautiful Rae!" Beast Boy said, relieved that she liked the ring. He smiled as he gently brushed her hood back, he then gently pressed his lips against hers, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Raven returned the kiss, deepening it as she threw her arms around him, enjoying the moment.
The kiss was broken when the two Titans heard Fireworks bursting into the sky. Raven rested her head on Beast Boy's shoulder, putting her arm around his waist.
"So, this means we're together, right?" Beast Boy asked, excitedly as he looked at her. "As a couple?"
"Yes." Raven replied, as she snuggled up to him on the Ferris wheel, watching the Fireworks display.
"This is so great Rae! I'm going to take you on the best dates you've ever been on!" Beast Boy exclaimed as he put his arm around her shoulder, watching the fireworks with her.
"I'm glad you like the ring...As soon as I saw it at the jewelry store, I wanted to get it, since it reminded me of you. The guy who worked there told me it was a girlfriend ring..."
"Beast Boy..." Raven pulled him into a hug. "Do they have boyfriend rings? I'll definitely get you one."
"They have all sorts of rings Rae. From friendship to girlfriend/boyfriend rings, engagement and wedding rings." Before he could say anymore, Raven pressed her lips against his. Beast Boy returned the kiss, enjoying the moment.
"You know...You're a good kisser Rae..." Beast Boy smiled after she had broken the kiss.
"I have a good teacher..." Raven winked to him. "Should we go home now?"
The two Titans flew back to the Tower.
"Add a little bit of this and some of that..." Slade's voice trailed off as he mixed several ingredients together in a bottle to make a powerful potion.
"Slade? What are you doing?" Megumi asked, appearing behind him, peeping over his shoulder to see a bottle with colourful liquid in it sitting on a desk.
Slade ignored her; he grabbed a book that was on the desk in front of him. Megumi read the words on the book and gasped.
"Are you seriously trying to revive Terra?"
Ignoring her again, Slade read through the ingredients, to see if he had everything. "Hmm looks like everything's in order...You'll find out later Megumi, I'll test this potion tomorrow morning to see if it will bring her back."
"What if it doesn't work?" Megumi questioned, putting her hands on her hips.
"If it doesn't, I'll try other ways to bring her back..." Slade replied, closing the book and putting it away. He put a lid on the bottle that had the special potion. He carried the potion in his hand.
"Why do you want her back anyway, what if she doesn't agree with you and wants to be a Titan again?"
Slade ignored his wife's questions and walked away, into the shadows with the potion in his hand.
"Are you even listening to me?" Megumi yelled out at him.
"Does it look like I am?" Slade hissed back. He threw a smoke bomb then vanished once the smoke had cleared out.
"Ah home sweet home!" Beast Boy sung out, as he sat on his bed, watching Raven getting into her bed.
Raven smiled as she rested her head on her pillow. She lay on her left side, looking over at Beast Boy who just got into his bed, and pulled his blanket over him.
"Good night, Beast Boy!"
"Good night, Rae, I love you!" Beast Boy replied, as he put his head on his pillow.
"I love you too B..." Raven put her right hand on her pillow, she used her powers to pull the blanket over her.
Beast Boy looked at her, an idea came to his mind, he turned into a green puppy then jumped from his bed to her bed.
"What are you..." Raven began, before she could continue, Beast Boy playfully licked both of her cheeks in his puppy form.
Raven giggled. "You're too cute!" She whispered softly to him, she gently pulled him closer to her. Beast Boy turned back to his normal self, smiling.
Raven put her right arm around Beast Boy as he lay next to her.
"So where do you want to go on our first date Rae?" Beast Boy asked, putting one arm around her.
Raven thought for a moment. "How about that new cafe...Then maybe the arcade or something?" She lay her head on his chest.
"Alright! Sounds great to me Rae!" Beast Boy chirped. "We can go there tomorrow if you're up to it!"
"It's a date!" Raven replied.
Soon the two fell asleep, Raven had her arm across Beast Boy's chest, she put her head on his shoulder. Beast Boy had his arm around her waist.
To be continued...
