Chapter 2: The Sand Fight and Black Raven

THANK YOU TO KKORI FOR REVIEWING!

This chapter was fun to write, even though it is long, because I fully let my imagination type free! Hope you enjoy! Please review!

"So what is Anileia like?" Cyborg asked as they were sitting on the couch.

"Yeah! Are there pretty girls there?" BB asked in a joking way, but Raven did not find it funny as she shot him a glare.

"Oh my! Anileia is beautiful! It is paradise. Well it was until Heath came along." Sunni became excited, "Anileia has everything. It has a desert, many lakes, hundreds of miles of coastline, and a large, beautiful evergreen mountain range in the center of the main island. That is were the main castle is. We have four other castles in each of the states. After we beat Heath, we'll have to take you on a large tour to each of the castles."

"And also we'll take you to Mermaid Bay. It is a large bay with a small island in the middle. From the outside of the bay we take a ferry to the island. Then we go to Adora Beach and watch the sunset." He looked at Sunni and smiled at her, and they both blushed, " It is one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see." Cor added.

"What is the royal life like?" Starfire asked, as she remembered Sunni was one of the many princesses.

"It has it's high's and low's. For one I am one of 5 princesses, and I have 4 brothers, I am the middle princess. I have 2 older sisters, Yasmine and Nicolette, and 2 older brothers, Lleyton and Anthony no one is my age. Isabel and Adam and Isabel are the second to youngest. And Ian and Ilana are the youngest and are identical twins. My mother, Melanie, and my father, Evan, are the King and Queen. About 20 years ago, before my oldest sibling Yasmine was born, my grandparents moved out into the countryside to let my parent's rule.

Yasmine was supposed to rule after my parents, but she instead chose to become a doctor. Then they wanted Lleyton to rule, but he chose to become a pro surfer on Anileia's surf team. Anthony is about to head to college to become a lawyer. And Isabel wants to take the crown next because Adam's dream is to be a writer. Ian wishes to become a police officer and Ilana wants to be a fashion designer. I wanted to become a veterinarian, but now I guess I am a superhero or whatever.

Some Anileians were hoping I would want to take the crown, but I was tired of being treated like royalty, I want to be normal. I would have wanted to rule so I could help the people of my country, but I wished to help animals more." Sunni explained to the amazed group. Starfire had made a list of her family so she and the others could understand without confusion.

"How did you two first meet?" Raven asked. Sunni giggled and Cor grinned.

"Well, do you mean the very first time we met, or the first time we remember meeting?" Cor said with that same grin.

"Both."

"Ok, so the first time we met I guess we were a year old. Weren't your parents searching for a bethrode?"asked Cor looking at Sunni.

"Yes, it was a family tradition that my parents wanted to start." Sunni said almost laughing.

"So yeah, her parents were doing this search for the perfect baby boy for their little princess Sunni to marry. Turns out our parents were friends in high school, so when they came to our house for my first birthday, they saw me and said 'That's the boy! I knew it was him!'." Cor said.

"It turns out that Cor is only a couple days older than me, and our mothers did prenatal yoga together." Sunni added. Starfire had a dreamy look in her emerald eyes.

"Now for the first time we remember meeting each other, we were nine years old." Sunni started the next story. "My mother had gotten pregnant a few times more and was busy. So our mothers didn't keep in contact that much, until we were nine was when things started back up. Our mothers remembered that we were betrothed and so they decided to take us to a beach and go swimming. Neither one of us had been told we were betrothed at all let alone to whom, and our mothers wanted us to meet 'accidentally' at the beach."

"So we went to the beach and I went in the water first," Cor continued the story," I was swimming all by myself, when I got nailed in the head by a volleyball. I fell face first into the water with a 'SPLASH!'

I heard a girl's laughter coming closer as I stood up. This girl had the volleyball under her arm and had curly blonde hair, and her white teeth were showing through her smile that turned into a laughter machine. I gave the girl a glare, and she stopped and said she was sorry. I thought she was cute, but I wasn't too into girls then, so I decided to throw wet sand at her just to get back.

"As she walked up back onto the beach, I slowly picked up a handful of sand and threw it at her. It landed right in between her shoulder blades. She turned around quickly and surprised me with a ball of wet sandy that hit me on my face. I guess she was prepared; she obviously had brothers because she knew what I was going to do. As a boy, I was embarrassed to have a girl nail me, so I picked up more sand and covered her with sand. Before she could reply with the sand clenched in her hand, our mothers ran down to the shore and yelled for us to stop. The girl gave me another mean look, her mother told her to apologize. She said I started it. I shout back that she started it by hitting me in the head with the volleyball.

"This time my mother told me to apologize, and also to introduce myself. I slowly walked over to the girl and mumbled I am sorry and stuck out my hand. She gladly shook it, but of course with her hand holding the sand. I jumped back and she started to laugh once again. Her mother said ' Sunni! That is not the way a princess acts!'.

I became dumbfounded. The thoughts ' I just threw sand at the Princess Sunni ran throughout my mind.' I was worried I was going to get in trouble by the Royal Police, or worse my dad, he loved the royal family. Then I realized that my friends would love to hear about it and I'd be most popular.

"Then without her mother having to tell her, the girl softly said 'I am sorry. I should not have thrown sand at you. Please forgive me.' I was shocked, but then I felt bad because I started it and I did not bow the princess. So I immediately bowed down at my waist, and raised my head and said ' You are forgiven though you did nothing.' With that the princess stuck out her hand and said ' I am Sunni Karwick. It is very nice to meet you.' I raised myself back up to standing up and took her hand gently and shook it with up most care. ' I am Coran Thompson, it is a pleasure to meet you Princess Sunni.' She shook her head after I said that and said, ' Please Coran, just call me Sunni.' And I replied ' Alright Sunni, please call me Cor.' And we both smiled at each other." Cor finished the cute story with both of them smiling the same smiles.

"That was sweet story, but what's up with you two? Are you still betrothed?" Robin asked turning his head towards Sunni and Cor, for during the little love story he had been looking at the also dreamy Starfire.

"Well a few years later after we met, my oldest sister was about to turn 18, and my parents introduced her to the man that was her betrothed, she did not like one bit. My parents became frustrated because they still didn't tell her that she was going to marry him, and now it was going to be harder for her to follow the arrangement." Sunni replied.

"And throughout all this, Sunni and I had been good friends for 4 years. And we too didn't know about the arrangement. That was until her parents called my mother, father, and I to the castle for a weeklong stay. On our first night upon arriving at the main castle, both our parents and ourselves ate dinner in the Blue Hall. Everything was going normal until her mother said ' Children, we have something to tell you.' My mother continued with, 'It is not bad considering that you two already get along.' And her mother concluded ' You both are betrothed to one another.' My heart stopped, and so did her's. We couldn't even look at each other we were so shocked. Thankfully her mother broke the silence by saying 'At least you two are friends!' That really didn't help.

"After that things got a little awkward between us for about 6 months." Sunni said. "That is until we saw each other at the same beach again." Sunni and Cor both smiled again. "Then we felt horrible about not keeping up our friendship. So we decided to keep in touch. Around this time the wedding was being planned for my sister Yasmine and the jerk that was her betrothed. It turned out that both didn't want to marry each other because they had a love already. Thank goodness Yasmine is the best public speaker in the family, because she talked to all the family's to which my sisters and brothers were betrothed to, and our parents and talked them out of the arranged marriages because we should have the right to choose whom we will marry." Sunni finished.

"After that, we became closer friends because it wasn't so awkward. It turns out that Sunni and I are close friends now. Who'd a thought? " He smiled at Sunni.

"Awe…. So tell us more of what this wonderful place is about!" Star said.

"Well, it is called Anileia, which is derived from the word animal. And it means ' where animals and humans live in peace' so basically we don't destroy their habitat and they don't destroy ours. Most people in fact eat tofu, instead of meat. We eat lots of fruits and vegetables, also yogurt and eggs. I guess you could say we live a very healthy lifestyle." Cor explained to the amazed group.

"Maybe we should start packing or what not…." Sunni said.

Cor replied, "What should we have them pack?"

"Nothing! Let's go now!" BB shouted.

"B. I think Raven will need to prepare, remember she is teleporting seven people there." Robin replied to the excited BB.

"Thank you guys for watching the tower!" Cyborg said to the five members of Titans East.

"No problem Sparky." Bee said with a large smile as she hugged him goodbye. " I am gonna miss you."

"Me too." He replied. Robin saw how sad Cy and Bee were about leaving each other, so he went to talk to Raven.

" Uhh.. Raven. Cy and Bee seem upset about leaving each other… I was wondering if.." Robin started to say but Raven interrupted him.

"You want me to transport Bee as well…" she said in monotone as she was preparing to send themselves to Anileia. Robin looked to her with pleading eyes, she could sense it. "Fine… I'll try." Raven stated. BB came up next to her after he was done chatting with Aqualad.

"Rae… I think it is really nice of you to be transporting us to Anileia to help out Sun and Cor." BB said smiling. Raven continued to have her eyes closed.

"You know the only reason why I was able to bring Sun and Cor back was because at the park I felt happy and relaxed. I never thought I'd say this but… Thank you BB." Raven said softly. BB's face shone bright with a smile as bright as the sun, he jumped up and gave her a hug, which startled her and they fell. On the ground when no one could see her gave her a small kiss on her cheek. Raven smiled as she dusted her self off and went back to meditating. No one asked what happened.

"Are you ready to go guys?" Raven said so softly no one heard her except Sunni. The group was ready with the new addition of Bumble Bee. Everyone was smiling as the black raven encircled the group of teens.

They landed with a hard thump in the middle of the forest. They were in the same spot, were Cor and Sunni got transported back to Jump City. One recuperated they stood silently in the forest. It was decided between them that they should break off into groups, (A/N: Thanks Fatcat!) And Sunni and Cor would be the leaders of the group because they'd know where they were going and whatnot because they lived here. Both were very disappointed that they'd be away from each other. But they had to do it.

Sunni led the team of Robin and Starfire. While Cor led the group of Raven, BB, Cyborg and Bee. Yes, Cor's team was bigger but they were going to work with the soldiers, while Sunni's team would lead the way into the castle.

After saying their goodbyes, they went in separate directions, not knowing when they'd see each other next.
