Hiya peoples!
Terribly sorry to all reviewers who were confused in the previous chapter. I thought it might be obvious that it is almost impossible to beat someone with pawns. Unfortunately, I was wrong and take full responsibility. I will try to reword it to make it more apparent. So anyway, Raven won.
Enjoy!
"I do not like the beach. I don't want to go to the beach. And I will not go to the beach." She gave Robin a cold shoulder and tried to get back to meditating.
"Raven please. It was Starfire's place to choose this weekend."
"So."
"We went to your horror movie last weekend. Boogyman wasn't it? It scared the other Titans all week!"
"Well if they were a little more mature, they would have known that it wasn't real."
Starfire came in prancing around.
"Robin do you like this bikini I got at the mall of shopping?"
Robin turned to her. "Wow, you look beautiful."
Starfire blushed and Raven felt a pang of jealousy inside her.
"Fine I'll go."
Robin turned to her. "Really? Why?
"Because I need to make sure you don't…cause any trouble."
"Suuure."
Put your faith in what you most believe in…Trust your heart, let fate decide
To guide these lives we see
The Titans appeared at the beach, each with their own swimwear.
All except Raven.
"We are at the beach and you don't even change into a swimsuit?" Beastboy stared at her in disbelief.
"I'm not going swimming."
"Yes, you are."
"No, Robin, I'm not."
"At least get your feet in the sand," Beastboy said as he wiggled his toes.
Raven sat down on a towel. "I'm just going to stay right here."
"Fine." The Titans moved towards the water.
Suddenly Robin turned around and pulled Raven's shoes off her feet.
"Hey!"
He laughed and ran back towards the water. Raven chased after him.
"Give me my shoes."
"Not until you get in the water."
"No."
"Then you don't get your shoes."
Grumbling to herself, Raven walked back to her towel trying not to burn her bare feet on the hot sand.
Softly tread the sand below your feet now….Trust your heart, let fate decide

She got into her meditating position. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos, Azera-"
She was interrupted when Robin grabbed Raven and pulled her over his shoulder.
"Robin!"
"Are you going to get in the water now?"
"No."
He moved closer to the water and Raven pounded his back.
"Let me go!"
Robin waded into the ocean until the water was up to his waist.
'Robin, put me down!"
"Ok."
With one swift movement Robin set her down in the salt water. Raven shrieked then let out a low growl.
"This is not a swimsuit."
Robin made a weak chuckle and stepped back.
"Well…you have a lot of leotards and cloaks at home, so it wouldn't matter wouldn't it?"
"Yes it would matter. 'Cause now I'm all wet." She slowly moved closer while Robin was taking bigger steps backward.
"We have towels and…ah!"
At that point Raven tackled him pinning his head under the water. Robin grabbed her wrists and flipped her over his shoulder just as a wave went past them.
Raven gasped for breath as she came above the water, head soaked. Robin looked at her and laughed.
"You…"
A huge tidal wave covered in black appeared behind her ready to crush Robin's puny body.
Robin did the only thing he could think of.
He ran.
But running in water is a lot harder than running on solid ground and soon Robin found that the massive wave had surrounded him.
"Raven let's not do anything to hasty. It was just a joke…"
But what is done is done and Robin was hit from all sides with seawater. Now it was Raven's turn to laugh.
Robin came up choking and coughing up water.
"Bet…you can't…do that again," he panted.
Ready to prove him wrong, Raven concentrated on another area of water.
But nothing happened.
The lack of meditation had created to much…emotion.
So Raven waded over to him. "I'm going back to dry and meditate."
"Yo, Robin!" Cyborg's voice reached him and Robin turned around.
"You and Raven versus me and Star. Chicken fight!"
Robin eagerly accepted and sensing Raven's unawareness scooped her up on his shoulders.
Raise your head upLift high the load
Take strength from those that need you…
…a new life is waiting
"Robin, what are you doing!"
"We're going to play a game."
"I don't want to play a game."
Suddenly Starfire pushed her over and they both fell into the water.
Cyborg cheered. "Yes! 1 to 0!"
"We are victorious? I did well?"
"C'mon Raven, we have to beat them."
"But I don't know how to play."
"Alright then, just get on my shoulders."
"Again?"
"Yup."
Feeling
a little uncomfortable, Raven climbed back on his shoulders.
"Now all you have to
do is push Starfire off."
"And what about Cyborg?"
"I'll
take care of him."
"You better not drop me."
Cyborg and Starfire came over and the two girls locked arms.
"So Robin," Cyborg grunted, "how are you guys doing?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I saw you two, getting along."
"What?"
"Getting her to come over here, taking her shoes, carrying her over to the water…need I go on?"
"How do you…" He caught himself. "What are you talking about?"
"Robin, do you really think I wouldn't figure out that you two had a connection?"
At that point Robin was pushed down under the water followed by Raven.
"I thought you wouldn't drop me."
"Sorry, I got distracted. One more time. This time we'll beat them."
This time Raven jumped right up on his shoulders. Robin saw a smirk come from Cyborg.
"Ready? Go!"
Again, Starfire and Raven locked arms trying to throw each other off.
"What makes you think we have a connection?"
"The only reason Starfire and Beastboy haven't figured it out is because they are both clueless. But I notice everything."
"Really? Well then you can notice that we are just good friends, and that you just lost."
Robin twisted his arm and Cyborg and Starfire came crashing into the water.
"Ha! Where's your Tameranian strength now! I just whooped your sorry little booty!" Raven raised her arms in victory.
"Wow, Raven. I didn't know you had a competitive side," Robin called from below.
Suddenly Raven cupped her hand over her mouth then jumped off Robin's shoulders. Muttering an apology to Starfire, she waded back to the shore.
"No, no, no, no, no…"
Robin waded after her.
"Raven, what's wrong?"
Raven angrily turned around. "I haven't meditated in weeks! I can't keep control of any of my powers! And I can't do this! That's what!" She grabbed her head and growled in frustration.
"This? What are you talking about?"
No words describe a lover's tearsNo words can heal a broken heart
A dream is gone but where there's hope…
"It's you! It's you Robin! You are doing all this! You're too…friendly!"
She looked down at the ground, panting. Clearly this had been on her shoulders for a long time.
"Raven, Raven." He grabbed her shoulders. "Look at me."
Her face stayed to the ground.
"Raven, look at me." It was not a request but a command.
Raven slowly looked up, a glare in her eyes.
Instead of an excuse, as Raven expected, He uttered two words.
"I'm sorry."
A stab of guilt made her force a small smile.
"You can't blame
yourself. I should've…"
"What. Not adore the time I've
spent with you? If I know you, you must have enjoyed those times just
as much as I have."
"I did." Her voice was barely a whisper.
"Then don't blame yourself."
"I'd better go meditate."
With that she slowly walked away.
Somewhere something is calling for you…Trust your heart, let fate decide
