-Raven A. Star

A Devious Horse and Pain In the Necks
"Go Mr. Ed, go!"

Beast Boy bounced up and down in the carriage with his hands on the railing to avoid falling off. The horse galloped across the highway causing several cars to screech to a halt and several kids passing by to laugh in a fit of hysterics at the sight.

Raven clung onto the railings for dear life as the carriage went over a bump and flew in the air for a second and landed with a crash. The horse snorted and continued until it caught sight of an orchard. It quickly made a turn and Raven slid with the hay across the cart. She smacked end first into the wood and groaned as the horse lazily trotted up to a tree and began to eat the apples on the ground.

"That…is the last time I EVER ride with Mr. Ed as driver."

Raven waited as the others climbed off the cart happily. She was starting to climb down when Mr. Ed decided to get even with her for calling her a bad driver and kicked the cart with his back feet. The cart lurched and Raven fell off and landed on the ground with a slight 'thump'.

The horse seemed to snicker as it continued to eat the delicious fruit off the ground. Raven lifted her face off the dirt and spat out a clump of dirt and grass.

Beast Boy grinned. "Oh yeah! Go Ed!"

The horse thanked the changeling with a flick of his tail.

"Beast Boy…" Raven pushed herself off the ground and brushed off the straw and other organic items. "Don't ever tell that horse to do that again."

The changeling lifted his hands in question with an awkward grin. "Who me? I'd never."

Starfire bounced up and down. "Since we are here we can pick apples, yes?"

Robin shrugged. "That's up to you."

Cyborg opened up his chest plate and pulled out a couple of sacks. "I'd thought that you'd want to so I brought these."

The empath snorted and threw her hands up in the air. "You guess do what you want. I'm going to get as far away from that HORSE as I possibly can."

Mr. Ed raised his upper lip and exposed his yellowed teeth and grinned at the girl. She flashed a false grin and walked away pouting.

The green Titan jumped up and waved a hand at Raven. "Wait! Come back!"

Raven stomped through the trees with the changeling close behind. "Come on Raven! Come join us with a little fun!"

"I told you I would do the ride, the trick or treating and the haunted house phenomena. I never agreed to the apple picking."

Beast Boy ran in front of her and glared. "Why do you always have to be so cranky!? I mean, COME ON! Have a little fun! Just pick some apples! It's not like it's going to kill you!"

Raven narrowed her eyes. "Oh really? I know it won't kill me, but it will kill you."

Beast Boy tilted his head. "What?"

Raven bent over and picked up a rotten apple and then stood straight up again. "You see this? I would throw this in your face right now cause you broke the deal with me. But I'm not cause I'm not that heartless."

Beast Boy snorted and mumbled under his breath. "Yeah, right. That's what you think."

Raven's eyes widened. Teeth grinding and anger rising, Raven brought back her hand and threw the apple at his face full force. The rotten fruit squished on his face and several black pieces fell to the ground.

The changeling reached up with a glove and brought it down his face slowly, wiping the rancid substance off with a disgusted look on his face. He looked at his hand after wiping it off and saw several little worms poke their heads out of the food. He groaned and his eye twitched. He threw his hand down and made an offended expression.

"Raven, what the heck was that for?"

The girl turned and snorted. But deep down she regretted ever throwing the rancid apple from the start. She briskly stepped away through the orchard leaving the changeling watching her fade from view.

"Friend Beast Boy!" Starfire hovered above a tree branch and waved with an armful of the red fruit. "You have arrived just in time to assist us in the picking of the apples!"

Beast Boy stomped over to the cart and climbed into it without a word. He flopped down onto a stack of straw and crossed his arms into a pout.

Robin leaned against the floor of it and raised an eyebrow. "What happened?"

"She threw an apple in my face and walked away."

Robin exchanged looks with an approaching Cyborg, and formed a concern expression. "What happened between you two to make her do that?"

Beast Boy shrugged. "All I said was have a little fun and quit being so cranky and she chucked it at me."

Starfire hovered beside Cyborg and made a motion for him to open the apple sack. He held it out and Starfire dump the fruit she had collected into it and zoomed back up to the tops of the trees.

"Where is she now?"

The changeling narrowed his eyes. "Don't know, don't care."

"Beast Boy!" Cyborg nearly smacked the green teen on the back of the head but refrained himself. "Tell me you don't mean what you just said!"

Beast Boy was about to tell the robotic man off when Raven appeared by a tree. She leaned against it and released a breath that was barely audible.

"Can we go now?"

Robin looked from Beast Boy to Raven, and made a motion with his head to Cyborg. The robot nodded and grabbed Beast Boy's arm and dragged him over to the tree where Starfire continued her task of collecting the fruit.

Robin took his time walking over to Raven. He stopped when he was no more than a yard from her. "Raven, I want to talk to you."

"About…"

The leader crossed his arms. "I believe you know what."

Raven threw her hands up in the air. "Let me guess, Beast Boy went and cried to you about how I threw a rotten apple in his face and is pissed off at me. Am I correct?"

"Besides that."

Raven looked somewhat deadpanned.

"I'm talking about how you and him are bother making this day miserable for everyone." Robin took a couple steps to his right and watched as the three other Titans began shaking branches to shower the ground with leaves and large red objects that we all knew were the apples.

"Raven, I'm appalled at how you two can have a day start off so well and turn into a regular drama. Just stop it and chill. It only comes once a year like any other holiday. It won't kill you."

Raven didn't reply. She just stared at the ground listening to the soft thumps that were made as they fell from the branches.

The leader faced her with a slight grin on his face. "You know, it might make him happy if you apologized. It'll make the rest of us happy even if it doesn't."

The empath rolled her eyes and stepped out from under the shady spot. She stepped carefully to avoided slipping and falling onto her back. She had already fell once and it was not pretty.

Starfire looked down and made a thumbs up sign to Cyborg who noticed Raven approaching. The two slinked away from the tree pretending that they were still gathering.

Beast Boy held an armful of apples and looked up to find the others gone. "Hey, uh, guys? I need the bag here…" He then noticed Raven standing directly under him. He held out his arms and dropped the apples onto the ground and grabbed onto branch for support after leaning over a little too far. "Oh, it's you."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "I came over to…uh…" She looked over and Robin wasn't where he was before. She turned her head back to the changeling who began to look impatient. "I came over to apologize, for acting like a jerk earlier." She bit her lip and swallowed. "I'm sorry."

Beast Boy's expression didn't change.

Unknown to the two Titans, a slight wind picked up and began to make the top branches sway and shake in the wind. The top branch being full of large and ripened apples, began to shake faster. Just as fate would have it, a single apple fell from the branch. It whistled down and smacked Beast Boy right on the back of the head.

Loosing his balance, he toppled off the branch and fell face first into the dirt.

Unable to suppress the surprise and how funny it was, Raven burst out a single laugh and quickly covered her mouth snickering. The changeling rolled over and groaned. "What was that?"

"An apple fell from a branch."

Beast Boy rubbed his head. "I bet, you probably made it fall intentionally."

Raven narrowed her eyes. "Whatever."

However, fate wasn't finished yet. Another apple broke from its perch and plummeted down. The apple smacked Raven on the top of her head and made her loose her balance and slip onto the ground next to Beast Boy. She groaned and held a hand to her head.

"Ow…"

Beast Boy snickered with a hand on the back of head. "Heh, guess the apples got even with yah."

A fit of laughter broke out over by the cart. Raven and Beast Boy looked over to see Starfire, Cyborg and Robin laughing in a fit of hysterics.

"You two could be the entertainment committee."

Starfire gave a thumbs up with a wink of her green eye. "You two are, as they say, hilarious."

Beast Boy lethargically got to his feet and brushed off clumps of dirt from his uniform as Raven helped herself up. "Ha, ha, ha. Very funny."

The empath rubbed her tender head. "Let's go back to the Tower and get ready for trick or treating."

Beast Boy turned and raised an eyebrow. "You're still going to do it?"

Raven nodded. "Yeah, why wouldn't I? It only comes once a year."
