A Matter Of Trust Chapter 18.
"So here we are, stuck back at this campground, in this state park. Stuck sleeping in tents for who knows how long, with a crazy Robin and a Starfire who has lost her memory. Great," Beast Boy complained, going over the situation once again. He was sitting on the picnic table talking to Raven who was attempting to busy herself preparing the camping stove to make dinner.
"Well, maybe if you hadn't thrown his underwear at the window…" responded Raven. She slapped a mosquito that had landed on her arm. "You might have been at the Tower right now, eating tofu and playing video games."
Beast Boy grumbled, admitting that she was right.
"It's not like I meant to do it…" He glanced at Raven, who was giving him a cold glare. "Ok, ok, so I did mean to… but I didn't mean for this to happen…"
"Even one word can change the course of history. We've all been gifted with special powers, and we have to use them wisely. Thanks to you, Starfire has lost her memory and may never be the same. Not to mention Robin. If he doesn't find his way back to sanity – which will only happen when Starfire gets her memory – then the whole world is in danger."
"Nice speech." Beast Boy went to staring at his feet.
"Thank you," Raven said nonchalantly.
"But still, if any of us went crazy, the whole world wouldn't be in danger. My throwing his underwear out the window will destroy the world…" he defended, not looking up.
"Maybe, but Robin went crazy because Starfire lost her memories. And the damage done to him may never be repaired," Raven responded. Cyborg came up.
"Man, you two could start a debate club!" Then, he left.
The argument went on like this. Robin was in the boys' tent, reading a book about cracking codes. He had been quiet for the past two days, ever since Dr. Who had told them to go back to the campsite until Starfire got her memory back.
Starfire, meanwhile, was sitting alone in the girls' tent, trying to figure out how she'd gotten to Earth, why the boy who was called "Robin" kept looking at her funny, why the shortest teen had green skin, why the other girl always wore dark colors, and why the other one had such strange attire.
Cyborg, after he had popped the debate club comment, had gone to the water spigot with a pot to get water so that the Titans could have Macaroni and Cheese for dinner. He had been thinking all day long about what was happening. Robin had calmed down (a bit) from his state of crazed anger, but Starfire remained confused. Raven and Beast Boy had been snipping at each other for two days, while he played referee. If it wasn't thing, it was another.
'It's a good thing we've all learned to be so tolerant of each other, but I mean, the Tower is huge, now all we have is two little nylon tents and a picnic table. And the T-car. If we don't get out of here soon, Robin isn't going to be the only one going crazy.'
Cyborg sighed and carried the now full pot of water back to the camp fire.
"Water's here and I've got the noodles and cheese." He set down the pot on the table, and picked up the box of Kraft® Macaroni and Cheese. 'Man, I hope I don't go crazy.'
"Don't we all," said Raven. Cyborg jumped.
"Um… Don't we all what?" Raven glared at him.
"Was I talking to you?" she asked coldly.
"Um… I dunno. Were you?"
"No. If you must know, I was telling Beast Boy that we all want tofu," she said.
"You want tofu?! Whoa, Rae, I thought you hated tofu!" exclaimed Beast Boy.
"That's because I was being sarcastic," Raven told him in a matter-of-fact voice.
"Oh…" Beast Boy's face was blank. Cyborg cleared his throat, and held up the Mac and Cheese. Raven put the pot of water onto the hot camping stove, and snatched the box of Mac and Cheese from Cyborg. When she turned around the Mac and Cheese dropped from her hand, and she immediately sprung into battle mode. For, sitting at the picnic table, was Slade.
A/N Wow, I just went brain dead. Sorry for the cliffy, I really am. But, I guess that's the chapter I have for you. Review if you want, but since it's so crappy, I'll understand if you don't.
Whoot.
Yay-ness.
Happy day.
Alright, nothing more to see.
Bye-bye.
Hey! Why are you still here?
