THANK YOU GUYS SO VERY MUCH! YOU'RE TOO KIND! NO SERIOUSLY! well, r&r...
A giant raven stuffed-animal was cradled within the hands of Raven. Her mouth was turned to a frown as she gazed down as the big, fuzzy-looking thing. Beast Boy smiled triumphantly as they stood next to the booth. In his hand was a baseball in his hand as he shot another throw at the milk bottles. Raven sighed.
"Enough, one out of thirteen tries tells me that you have no aim whatsoever." Raven said.
"At least I got you a giant stuffed-animal." Beast Boy said.
"Because you told them we were the Titans. The one shot you made only hit the top bottle off," she hinted. Beast Boy made a face and frowned.
"You don't know what you're talking about." He murmured. Raven gave him "the look" making him sigh. "Just don't tell Cy and the rest of the Titans." He pleaded. Raven sighed and shrugged.
"Sure, whatever, so can we try something else?" she asked. Beast Boy saw the Lover's Tunnel but shook his head. Raven scanned the area. "There." She pointed to the Haunted House. Beast Boy gulped as his legs went numb. Great, the ride he hated the most…worse yet, this was a maze Haunted House.
"S-sure," he said. Raven went on ahead.
In the Haunted House, Beast Boy stayed rather close to Raven. He was afraid of two things: one, that something might just pop out of nowhere, two, that he will scream like a little girl.
"What are you doing?" she asked glaring at Beast Boy. Beast Boy smiled nervously. "Don't tell me you're scared…"
"Me s-scared? Of course not! Why would I be?" he laughed nervously. Raven sighed as they reached a dead end. "Uh…wrong way, let's leave!" Raven sighed again.
"Beast Boy, you don't need to do this if you're scared…" she started.
"I'm not scared!" he cried. Raven stared at him accusingly. Beast Boy slumped forward. "Uh…hey, look! Another way!" he laughed as he marched onwards. A cotton swab covered ghost appeared in front of Beast Boy and he screamed. Raven walked towards the ghost and blew at it. Instantly, the ghost fell to its side.
"It's fake." Raven said looking down at Beast Boy.
"Yea, I, uh, knew that. I'm just…err…making it more fun." He said. Raven gave him a doubtful look and moved on. He scrambled up after her. "Hey wait! Don't just leave me here!"
Raven turned around. Luckily, the darkness covered her smile. "You're too slow." Raven called. Beast Boy ran towards her as she started to walk away.
Lucky for Beast Boy, the terror was over. Raven looked rather…disappointed in what she saw. "Nothing good," she murmured as she walked out. Beast Boy followed after a short period of silence for recovery.
Finally, the day was almost over. The stars flickered softly while the crescent moon shone through it all. Raven still held the giant bird in her arms. She sighed. Why does this seem like déjà vu? 'Oh yea, because it is.' Raven thought. Last time, Cyborg and Beast Boy won her a giant chicken. She carelessly threw it down when Robin called for help. 'Oh well,' she thought. 'It would've clashed with how my room looks like, anyway.'
Beast Boy saw Raven toying with the stuff bird. "See, told you you'll like it." He smiled. Raven shrugged about to open her mouth to say something, but Beast Boy was a step quicker. "BUMPER CARS!" he cried. He grabbed Raven by the hand and guided her towards the ride.
Seated in the car, Raven smelled all the mechanical at work. The smell of gas from the small bumper car was heavy in here, but she didn't really care. Beast Boy sat next to her in the driving part. Raven sighed.
The game started, Beast Boy drove recklessly bumping into random people. Raven sighed as they lurched forward. The seatbelt tugged at her stomach and collarbone. "Having fun?" Beast Boy asked.
"Bundles of them," she replied caustically. Beast Boy probably didn't notice because he smiled and went on playing. One of the drivers hit them from the rear sending them twirling into the wall. They laughed. Raven rubbed her elbow, somehow, her elbow seemed to have stopped her from hitting her head.
"You gonna do anything about it?" one asked rather rudely. "A shrimp and a gothic chick, what a cute couple." Raven flared as she felt her power grow warmly in her hands.
"Want to say that again?" she asked sending a jolt of black at them. This time, they were sent flying into the mass of traffic jams in the middle of the place. Beast Boy laughed.
"Who's the loser now?" he called out. The game ended and they exit the car. Raven rubbed her elbow that seemed a little red.
"Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked. She nodded slowly. A flicker of blue appeared on her hand as she healed the sore.
"How about you?" Raven asked. "Sore anywhere?" she asked. He shook his head. Raven nodded and walked forwards. "What else is there to do?"
"I heard there were fireworks," he said. "At 9:00, though. That's late."
"We'll stay. It's not like there's something to do in the Tower." Raven said. Beast Boy smiled and nodded. 'Fireworks,' he thought. 'That's romantic-like. Maybe…this would work.'
Raven and Beast Boy sat near the lake where the fireworks are to be performed. Beast Boy smiled as he waited the moment. Suddenly, the skies flickered with life as sparks were sent up the air. Music followed it, matching its tempo perfectly. (AN: Just like in Disneyland! I LOVE Disneyland!) Beast Boy smiled as his heart lurched catching each rhythm. He glanced over at Raven.
Her blue-purple eyes danced as she watched the fireworks dance. She was interested, surprising. Beast Boy hesitantly placed his hands on hers, Raven didn't move her hand – either she didn't notice or she doesn't mind. Beast Boy decided to take it that she didn't notice.
Raven felt his hand on hers and left it there. His hands' warmth was comforting and adding to the air of wonders as the fireworks displays went on. Suddenly, the near finale of the fireworks, a lot of them flew up and scattered itself around the skies. Raven held her breath until it was finished. Beast Boy whistled, though it couldn't be heard.
The finale came, and the fireworks sounded in booms like thunder. Beast Boy inched closer to Raven without knowing it. They were close together, and if Raven had noticed, she probably wouldn't have allowed it.
"It's beautiful," she said as the finale continued.
"Yea," he replied. "Like you." If Raven heard that, she didn't respond. Beast Boy smiled seeing her interests and tightens his grip on her hand. The finale ended and the smoke cleared up. Raven let her breath out.
"Beast Boy," Raven said.
"Yea," he replied.
"L-let go of my hand," she was looking down at his hand on hers. Beast Boy blushed.
"Sorry," he removed his hands. He looked at her face, their face were so close to each other. Beast Boy saw that Raven was blushing as well. She turned away and Beast Boy got up. Raven got up afterwards.
"Come on," Raven said. "Let's go home." Beast Boy smiled and nodded.
Raven sat at the couch and read from her book. Beast Boy sat on the recliner and sighed. "What's the matter?" Raven asked without taking her eyes from the book. "You need me to give you some of those medicinal herb tea again?" Beast Boy shook his head quickly.
"To be honest, I don't know what you see in those stuff. It taste horrible." Beast Boy said. Raven gave him a small smile and shrugged.
"It's better than eating artificial meat." Raven pointed out.
"Hey, it's canni…canda…c-ka…" he struggled with the word.
"Cannibalism?" she suggested. He nodded.
"Yea, that thing. It'll be….that thing." Beast Boy said. Raven shook her head. "I can't turn into Tofu."
"But if you will, that'd be a great start." Raven murmured the humor tight in her voice. Beast Boy smiled knowing she was actually joking for once.
"A joke, heh, I thought I was the one making those," he laughed.
"Not a joke, it's a comment. Why you laugh, I'll never know." Raven replied as she returned to her book. "Still, is something wrong?"
"Nah, today was fun, wasn't it?" he asked. Raven nodded slowly.
"It was okay," she said honestly. "Except for the part where you made us go to the petting zoo."
"Sorry, I didn't know they'd stampede all over us!" he replied.
"Correction: over you." Raven said. Beast Boy frowned, then smiled. "Well, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. The rest of the team isn't coming back until a week and a half." (AN: It's only been four days including today!) "Might as well take the advantage of sleep while we have it." Raven yawned and walked towards her room.
Beast Boy made sure that she was completely gone before he sighed and smiled at what happened to night. Bright side, she kept the giant stuffed raven. Bad side, if they've gone into the Lover's Tunnel, something might've happened. He sighed before turning the lights off and entering his room ready for the next day.
In Raven's room, she sighed and slid down the door. What was that at first during the fireworks? The way he looked made her feel as if she was actually…in love.
