A/N: here's the next chapter. Thanks to the four people that have reviewed me, and you stink! to everyone who hasn't. Just kidding. No, I'm not... Don't kill me!
Disclaimer: don't own Teen Titans, but Raven's plan is mine! All mine! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Anyway, if I did own Teen Titans, Slade would kill all the boys in the world, and then die. Except the Titan boys: their fate would be much worse.
A Matter Of Trust: Chapter 4 The Campground: part 2
"Uh huh, right, okay. Raven you are a genius!" said Cyborg. "You go talk to Starfire again, and I'll handle Robin." Raven headed back to the girl's tent, only to find that Starfire was crying again. So Raven decided to meditate for a while. When Starfire heard Raven, she tried her best to stifle her sobs.
"Hello Raven," said Starfire between sobs. Raven stopped meditating, and looked at Starfire, smiling inwardly. Perfect. Now all that she had to do was execute her plan.
"You got something on your mind?" Starfire nodded. "You need to meditate more, get things off your mind. If you want, I can show you a quiet, peaceful spot, way back in the woods. It seems the perfect place for someone to meditate." Starfire couldn't help but crack a smile.
"Oh, Raven! Would you really do that for me?! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Starfire nearly suffocated Raven in a bear hug.
"Yeah...sure...just let... go...can't...breath, Star...fire" gasped Raven. Starfire let go, and apologized many times as Raven took several deep breaths.
"Yo, Robin! I went explorin' in the woods, found a spot that you might like. Wanna come?"
"Sure. Name the time."
"Tomorrow morning, right after breakfast."
"Got it."
"Okay, I'm gonna go fix some hot dogs. If you see the little green elf, tell him that I've got his tofu-dog waiting."
"No, you don't. I hid his whole stash of tofu. So either he eats meat, or nothing at all."
"You are being evil. I gotta go" said Cyborg, backing out of the tent. As soon as Cyborg was out of the tent, though, he saw a green mouse scurry in.
"Alright! Where's my tofu?!" came Beast Boy's voice from inside the tent.
"Back at the tower." Robin was somehow able to sound calm and smug at the same time.
"WHAT?!" Robin laughter, and Beast Boy's moans could be heard. Cyborg decided to start dinner.
After everyone but Beast Boy (who refused to eat real meat) had finished dinner, Robin pulled out two maps. One was of the city, the other of the campgrounds. Robin put them together where the city and campgrounds met, then pointed to a place on the new map.
"Hey! I know that place! That's the old war time museum."said Cyborg.
"Right. And I'm pretty sure that Slade is hiding there. So, we go there tomorrow after lunch, and search it."
The next morning, right after breakfast......
"Starfire, are you sure you want to go?" Starfire nodded vigorously. "All right, follow me." Raven flew into the woods, above the trees towards a river near the middle. Little known by Starfire, Cyborg and Robin were headed to the same spot, except traveling by ground.
"Come on, Robin! Just a little farther!" called Cyborg.
Robin bounded ahead. "I bet that I can beat you there!"
"You don't know the way!" said Cyborg, running to catch up. Robin stopped, and Cyborg took the lead.
"Oh, yeah." Said Robin.
Raven and Starfire got to their destination before Cyborg and Robin, and so Raven decided to let Star meditate.
"I'll let you meditate alone, seeing as meditation is done best when done alone."
Starfire flew down, and sat in mid-air. But before actually meditating, she looked up to Raven and said, "Thank you." Raven sat on the crown of the tree, not bending a leaf, and a shadow of a smile played on her lips.
'Perfect' she thought. 'Now to wait for Cyborg to get here.' Almost as soon as she thought that, Cyborg ran into the small clearing, Robin not far behind. Robin looked around, mystified (he didn't see Starfire at first).
Then Starfire saw them.
"How dare you come to Raven's place of meditation! Especially you, you Zorngklongthighyde!" Robin fled behind a tree, but did not leave. Cyborg, on the other hand, ran away as fast as he could. A shadow appeared above him, and he looked up to see Raven swooping down.
"Mission accomplished!" he said. "Now to let Starfire forgive the- what was the word?"
"Zorngklongthighyde"
"Yeah, that was it."
Starfire showed up, back at camp a few hours later. She was followed, far behind her as he was, by a dazed Robin. His hair looked a bit singed, as if Starfire had thrown a few starbolts at him. But Robin looked happy anyway, as is he had finally gotten a. 'I forgive you' out of her. Things seemed to go back to normal instantly. Then Robin's beeper started beeping the teen Titans theme song, and everyone else started blinking.
Robin took out his beeper, but had only opened it for five seconds before snapping it shut again. "It's Slade. Titans, go!" Everyone ran, looking out for Slade. Starfire saw him, and yelled follow the path he'd taken, even though what led in the opposite direction of the museum. They eventually lost track, and gave up.
When they were back at camp, and a desperate Beast Boy had nibbled at a real hot dog (then everyone had to watch him barf), they settled down to telling stories around a campfire. No one told ghost stories. Instead, they told stories stories of things that had really happened to them, but everyone thought that Raven was telling ghost stories. They didn't believe her when she told them that what really did happen, so scary was the tale she told.
"Remember when we all thought Robin had joined Slade?" said Cyborg. Everyone nodded. "Really though, he was trying to save us from the…"
