The theater was packed full of people when Cyborg and Carmen entered. They were gawked at for a moment when they walked in the glass doors. Apparently, in Carmen's mind, Saturday was national date night. She felt a jolt of awkwardness when some of the people whispered to one another while looking at them. She felt their stares. Was it weird to them to see Cyborg and some girl together? Why? Why did everything feel strange all of the sudden? He's still the same person, but only on the inside. Carmen willed the feeling away. She would not let those people ruin her happiness. Victor Stone was all she needed in the world…but he wasn't Victor Stone any more. He was Cyborg the Teen Titan. Not just her childhood friend and classmate.

"I guess this would seem weird from an outsider's point of view. But, they don't know anything," She trailed behind him to the ticket counter.

"Two tickets please," Cyborg asked politely. The guy at the register had dark greasy hair. He hunched over his shoulders and acne had lay siege to his face.

"Sorry, this movie is sold out," he said. Cyborg expression turned to disbelief.

"Aw come on. You serious?"

"Yes sir," Cyborg turned to Carmen who was ignoring all of the stares by looking at a movie poster.

"What now?" he asked disappointed. She looked over her shoulder.

"Let's just see a different one," Cy shrugged and got two tickets for a remake of an old horror movie. They sat towards the back as the lights dimmed and the movie began. Within twenty minutes into the movie Carmen had fallen asleep, resting her head on Cyborg's shoulder. He looked down at her and wondered.

"How can she fall asleep during a horror movie?" He shrugged the thought away noticing how cute she was when she was sleeping. Like the little kid she was at heart. Her inner child was probably around seven years old. He heard distressed screams from the movie and looked up to see some possessed chick pulling the intestines out of a screaming guy's mouth. "Ewww," He stuck out his tongue in disgust.

After the whole dissection scene the movie got boring and Cyborg found himself starting to drift off into a light sleep. He didn't dream of anything. Which was a first seeing is how every time he slept he had nightmares about the past. He began to sense people stirring around him. He opened his eyes and saw the people leaving. Cyborg looked to Carmen's seat but she wasn't there. Confused he looked behind him, but saw no one.

"Carmen?" He felt someone blow on the back of his neck. He spun around and came within inches of Carmen's nose. Cyborg jumped back in shock as she laughed. "Man, I hate it when you do that!"

"I know, but the look on your face is so funny I can't help it," she countered. He smiled and nudged her to the side. "I guess we better go huh?" She said with slight disappointment in her voice.

"Yeah, but I got to so you one more thing before we go back to the tower," He said getting up. Carmen raised an eyebrow and followed him.

They drove through about halfway of a suburb when they stopped at a stop sign. They noticed a vehicle pulling out of a driveway then stopping on a dime. A girl with short brown hair looked up at her mother from the backseat.

"Mom! Mom what's wrong?" She asked nervously. The woman was looking out her window.

"Look, my tulips are popping up. Hi tulips!" the woman waved to the little buds out in front of their house. They started to drive out again. The girl looked at her mother with that 'you did not just do that' look.

"Great now those people at the stop sign think you're crazy," The girl sat back in her seat slightly embarrassed. Cyborg and Carmen just watched them drive away.

"That was that same lady from before," Cyborg said pointing at the car as it drove further down. (A/N: It's the same lady from chapter 6. Remember?)

"What lady?"

"Ah, nothing," They drove on until they reached a fence near the old city park. The place was rundown and totally ignored after the new park was made. Cyborg parked along side the road. He popped the trunk and pulled out a tarp. It covered the T-car completely and made it look like a messed-up ghetto car. Carmen looked at him funny. "What?" She shook her head and smiled.

"Where to now?" Cyborg lifted her up to the top of the fence.

"Up and over," he instructed. Carmen grabbed the edge and swung her legs over the top one at a time before dropping down to the ground. Cyborg looked around and followed after her. He grabbed her hand. "This way," He led her through the thick foliage to a path that looked as if it hadn't been use for years. They walked down the path for a few minutes. Carmen looked around and noticed an old wooden playground. It was overgrown with plants and moss grew on the play equipment. The rusty swings creaked in the wind. The place was so eerie it sent shivers down her spine.

"Where are we?" she asked nervously. Cyborg didn't look back at her.

"This is what's left of the old city park. It was abandoned because they made the new park so much better. Kinda disappointing really," he paused. "I think this is where my parents played as kids,"

"Oh," she looked around some more. "So, where are we going?"

"You'll see. We're almost there," Cyborg moved a couple large ferns out of the way. "Here we are," Carmen stepped around him and gasped at what she saw. It was an old fountain area. The stone was covered with moss similar to the playground. The stone was water stained and had a musty smell to it. The fountain it's self was broken at the top. Rain water had gathered in the bowl of the fountain like a small pond. There were four stone benches placed at the corners. The whole place had a beautiful ancient look to it. The area was concealed by thick trees and ferns. A lot of bugs flew around the place. "What do you think?" Cyborg asked coming up behind her and placing his hands on her shoulders.

"Oh my God. It's beautiful," she said looking up at him.

"Wait 'till you see this," Cyborg turned his light on low and flashed it twice. One by one the little bugs began to blink blue, green, and purple. Carmen gasped again at the sight. There were dozens of the fireflies. "Pretty cool huh? I don't know why some of 'em are blue and purple, but I think they're cool," Cyborg sat down on the nearest bench and pulled her down to sit on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her stomach and rested his head on her shoulder. Carmen didn't say a word. "You like it?" He asked.

"I think I'm gonna cry," she said at last. Confused, Cyborg shifted his head to look at her face. "This place is beautiful beyond words," she looked at him eye to eye. The glow of the fire flies reflected off their faces. They were in an awkward silence, not daring to speak. Her face was somewhat blank but in her eyes shown the passion and desire he shared as well. He leaned in and kissed her. Like lightning, every emotion save love, happiness, and anxiety retreated from their souls as the sheer power of their kiss was felt. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he pushed her down on the bench. He gently kissed her forehead, eyelids, and nose. They both began to breathe heavily from the ecstasy. Cyborg nuzzled her jaw and kissed her neck sending waves of pleasure up her spine. He ran his fingertips up and down the side of her body slowly. Carmen brought Cyborg's head back up and kissed him roughly. Which he responded to eagerly. Sadly all good things must come to an end. Cy's communicator beeped.

"Hey Cy can you hear me? Cy," Beast boy's voice was heard ending their little…moment. Cyborg sat up and answered.

"Yeah, I hear you,"

"Dude, where are you guys?!"

"Vandalizing private property," he answered casually.

"What?!?"

"I'm kidding. We're on our way back. Geez, don't throw a hissy fit," Cyborg said as he hung up. "You little green…pest!" Cy looked over at Carmen. She tucked a lose strand of hair behind her ear. Her face was as red as a crayon.

"We should get going," She stood up and began to walk for the place where they'd entered. Cyborg grabbed her wrist before she got too far. He was sweating bullets as he stood up. He pulled her closer and held her there.

"I'm sorry. That…didn't turn out to well,"

"Didn't it?" She smiled up at him sweetly. Holding on to his arm, she started to walk back. "Let's go," They walked out of the park, hopped the fence, and started up the T-car. After putting Cy's tarp back in the trunk. The drive back to the tower was a silent one, but the emotions could be felt between them. Carmen watched the scenery go by outside her window. She sighed when the tower came into sight. Everything was perfect…it just ended too soon.
