Chapter 6:

In Which Beastboy Encounters a Mob of Crazed Fans and Escapes Possible Incineration

Beastboy:

He woke up to an announcement from the captain saying that they would arrive within half an hour. Beastboy with his eyes still closed, shifted slightly in an attempt to get more comfortable when he felt something move against his side. Opening his eyes drowsily, he looked down to see a mass of purple hair against his shoulder. Raven it seemed was fast asleep, her pale face looked peaceful as she continued to dream. Her mouth was hanging open ever so slightly and she was muttering something in her sleep that Beastboy could not make out. 'She really looks cute when she's asleep' he thought gazing down on the beauty resting on his shoulder. Her breathing was slow and rhythmic and Beastboy suddenly became aware of her skin just beneath his touch. Unable to stop himself, he leaned down and kissed her lightly on the top of her head. She stirred slightly at his touch, and her eyes fluttered open. For a moment he panicked, thinking that she might have noticed the kiss, but it seemed much to his relief that she was oblivious to her surroundings. She laid there for a moment longer, rubbing her eyes, obviously unaware she was using him as a pillow. Suddenly she shot up in surprise. Raven turned to look at Beastboy with her cheeks burning a bright red.

"Did I uh…" She continued to move her mouth but nothing came out.

"Yah" said Beastboy blushing in sympathy, "You sorta dozed off…" he smiled at her apologetically and watched as she seemed to shrink down into her seat, as if hoping that the cushions might swallow her and save her from this awkward moment.

"I just woke up though so I really didn't mind…" he continued hurriedly, trying to make her feel better. She nodded and her finger reached behind her to slip up the hood of her cape, concealing her face that he was sure was turning redder by the moment. Beastboy reached down into the pocket in front of him to grab a magazine so he had something to do besides sitting there and feeling uncomfortable. As he flipped it open however, he found his mind going back to what had just happened. 'Well that was awkward, but nice.' Beastboy thought, smiling to himself. 'She totally digs me. I mean if she didn't she would have my hide hanging out the airplane window right now.' He recalled the kiss to her head. 'She smells really nice' he thought, wishing he could breathe in the scent of her hair again. "Sorta like lavender."

Raven turned to face him, a look of confusion on her face. "What was that?"

'Oops, did I just say that out loud?' he thought, trying frantically to come up with an explanation.

"Uh nothing, I was just thinking that…um… these pretzels taste like lavender!" He held the little brown bag out towards her, trying to smile innocently. "Want some?"

She opened her mouth to answer when the PA system came on to announce they would be landing shortly.

"You're not gonna freak out again during landing right?" she asked him while buckling her seatbelt.

"Naw, I've got this flying thing down pretty good." He said confidently.

20 minutes later, Raven was prying a petrified Beastboy out of his seat.

As soon as they got off the plane, Beastboy looked to see a large group of people huddled eagerly around something that he couldn't make out. Coming closer he tapped a guy on the shoulder to ask about the commotion that was taking place.

"What's going on?" he asked the man confused. The guy turned around to answer him and Beastboy saw his eyes widen in surprise and excitement. 'Oh oh…' thought Beastboy as he watched the man take a deep breath and opened his mouth to shout:

"HERE'S ANOTHER ONE!" Beastboy paled as hundreds of faces turned towards him, all sporting large smiles and crazed eyes. He froze like a deer caught in headlights, watching as a mob of people rushed towards him, uncovering their previous infatuations Robin and Starfire and Cyborg. 'Move legs move!' he pleaded to himself but they felt glued to floor as he watched the onslaught of people draw nearer. They were only a few seconds away when suddenly everything went black. Had he passed out? No, that couldn't be, because he could still move his head and arms, he just couldn't seem to see anything. He tried to walk but found that there was no ground and panicked. Beastboy started to shout in fear when all of a sudden there was a voice at his ear. (omg it rhymes!).

"Calm down, will you!" it hissed. This freaked out Beastboy even more, to the point where he began to lash out with his fists in hope of escaping this dark nightmare. His hand came in contact with something soft and the voice cried out in pain, causing the darkness around him to fade. Beastboy found himself back in the airport but in a different section, away from all the fans that had almost trampled him before. Looking around he saw Raven was standing behind him, her hand clutching her left breast in pain.

"You hit me!" she said offended.

"I freaked out! You would have too if you suddenly found yourself surrounded by darkness!" he cried pointing at her accusingly.

"Well no need to thank me for saving you!"

"I would have been just fine without your help!"

"You know what! I should have just left you there to be flattened!" She glared daggers at him and Beastboy returned the look with equal ferocity. Their little staring contest was interrupted however when the three other Titans came running towards them. They all were short of breath from sprinting.

"You think we lost them?" asked Cyborg panting.

"Yes I believe they are no longer pursuing us. Please tell me however, why were those people so intent on capturing us?" said a confused Starfire. "All of them wished me to sign my name on little pieces of paper."

"We're like celebrities here." Said Robin. "Everybody back at home is used to seeing us around the city, but here is a different story." Robin smoothed back his hair and adjusted his belt, then froze in puzzlement. "Has anyone seen my…"

Suddenly a little boy rounded the corner holding what appeared to be Robin's bow-staff. He pointed it at the group of Titans eagerly then called out at the top of his lungs "I FOUND THEM!"

"Here we go again…"

All the Titans took off running as a sea of fans led by the little boy chased after them, calling out their favorite Titan's name for autographs.

"Now would be a great time for you to do that freaky darkness thing!" said Beastboy to Raven as they ran down the escalator.

"I thought you didn't like it." She said spitefully.

"Ok I'm sorry! NOW SAVE US!" Raven nodded, pleased with her victory, and spread her arms, engulfing the Titans in a black orb of energy that transformed into a raven. The bird flew up and melted through the ceiling, stunning and confusing the fans, who had suddenly lost their prey. Meanwhile up above everybody was dumped onto the floor as the black energy faded around them.

"Dude that is still way creepy." Said Beastboy as he stood up and brushed off his uniform.

"Yah, but it's a heck of a lot better than what would have happened if those crazy people caught us." Said Cyborg, "Hey we're at the baggage claim!" he said looking around pleased. They all managed to get their bags without too much incident but Beastboy had been unable to resist himself however and they were almost thrown out of the airport when he attempted to surf the conveyor belt. Flagging down a taxi outside, they loaded into the car.

"This place is amazing!" exclaimed Starfire who was staring out the window in wonder as all the colorful buildings of Miami passed by. Suddenly the seaport came into view revealing 5 large cruise ships floating at the docks.

"Awesome! I bet that big one there is ours!" Beast Boy pointed to a large red and white cruise liner that was currently being boarded by a bunch of happy looking passengers. The cab stopped in front a large, gray building and all the Titans hurried out except for Raven who paid the cab driver and levitated the luggage out of the trunk. Beastboy ran up to the desk with the others where and they met old woman with grey hair who seemed to be a little hard of hearing. They had to explain to her 3 times who they were and what they wanted, but in the end 5 tickets and room keys were handed to them.

Realizing someone was missing, Beastboy turned around to see a very overwhelmed Raven dragging 2 bags across the floor towards them, while the other 3 floated unsteadily above her.

"Lemme take some," he said running over and grabbing the 2 from her hands.

Raven muttered a thanks and followed him towards the corner that Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire had just rounded. Two passport checks and a one corny group photo later, they boarded the ship (it had turned out to be the Beastboy pointed out earlier).

As they walked up the ramp to board the floating giant, a uniformed woman with a smile plastered on her lips stuck 5 pamphlets into their faces and cried out what was probably her one millionth "welcome aboard!" They all grabbed a paper and as they continued forward into heart of vessel and Beastboy saw the woman do a double take of them. 'Probably the first passengers in spandex and capes she's seen all day' he thought laughing to himself. As they entered the main hall of the cruise ship, all five of the Titans almost dropped their bags shock. The ship was gorgeous! Smooth black tiles coated the floor, so shiny that you could see your reflection by looking down. They met with walls of rich wood paneling that extended what had to be at least 15 stories up and glass elevator ran along each side, carrying young children with their noses pressed against the glass in the same wonder the Titans felt. There was a large fountain in the center that sprayed water high into the air. People could already be seen throwing coins into it that settled on the beautiful mosaic bottom. Turning around again Beastboy gasped in surprise. This ship really did have everything! The other Titans whipped around and this time they did drop their bags in shock. Standing in front of them was a wall made out of water. It covered the whole side of the ship, and inside there were thousands of thousands of brightly colored fish.

"It is beautiful…" said Star, her eyes shining in wonder.

"That has got to be the biggest floating aquarium in the world!" said Beastboy running up to it and in the process frightening some of the fish that darted away in a frenzy.

"Well, now we know how they keep their fish fresh." Commented Cyborg as a giant Tuna swam by them.

"Dude that is gross!" said Beastboy giving Cyborg the death glare. "How can you even think of eating them!"

"Well the catch of the day has to come from somewhere!"

"You're sick! These are living creatures! Not someone's dinner!"

Just as Beastboy said this, a shark quickly dashed by, snatching up a fish that had been meandering by the glass. Beastboy stared at the spot where the fish had been, his eyes wide in shock and his face slightly pale.

"Welcome to the food chain." Said Cyborg smiling.

"I think I'm going to be sick…"

Robin picked up his bag and interrupted their conversation.

"Let's get going. We should find our rooms and drop off our bags, then we can explore the ship some more." He said beginning the walk towards the elevator. All the Titans followed him still looking around and finding new marvels to goggle at. As they neared the glass elevators, Beastboy took off like a hyperactive child and pressed the button before the others had even rounded the corner. He grinned at them and Raven shook her head, as if finding the whole thing too sad to comment on. They piled into the elevator and looked down in amazement as they realized the floor was also made out of glass. It was quite unnerving to see the ground move away from you while you're standing on what appears to be nothing but air. Their rooms were on the 14th floor and as they rose higher and higher the faces of the Titans became slightly paler. They wouldn't be taking the elevator too often.

"Well technically" said Beastboy examining the button panel in the elevator, "We're on the 13th floor but they don't have that number listed."

"Superstitions." Said Robin.

"Please tell me," asked a confused Starfire "Why your society does not believe in the number 13?"

"It's unlucky, supposedly." Said Robin, "Although I can't tell you why."

"That's dumb." Laughed Beastboy "I mean how is a number going to make a ship sink?" The elevator stopped the doors opened to reveal a maroon carpeted hallway. They checked their keys and walked down skinny corridors until they found one of their rooms. "Here we are!" Announced Cyborg, slipping his key in the slot and opening the door. The Titans eyes got wide once more.

"Damn..."

"Please close your mouth" said an annoyed Raven "you're starting to drool all over my carpet." Beastboy shut his mouth and looked at her incredulously.

"Your carpet! Excuse me but I believe this suite belongs to me!"

"And I say other wise."

"Please," said Starfire "This "sweet" is made out of candy?" Everyone sweatdropped as they watched her lick the wall.

"On second thought…" said Beastboy looking slightly disgusted "you can have it."

"Aren't we the gentleman?" Said Raven dryly.

"Well I've always been known for my chivalry fair lady." Beastboy smirked at the surprised Raven, and then it dawned on him. 'Did I just call her a fair lady?' He blushed and Raven gave him a strange look, whether it was because he used the big word 'chivalry' or because of his description of her, he couldn't tell. The rest of the Titans were oblivious to the comment and continued to explain to Starfire that the room was, contrary to her interpretation, far from tasty.

"Hey I'm going to go unpack." Said Beastboy, trying to find an excuse to leave before Raven could question him.

"And I shall telephone our friends the Titan's East to verify that our Silky has indeed been retrieved from the port of air." said Starfire as she floated further inside, in search of a telephone. Beastboy exited the room and walked next door, taking out the plastic key in his pocket as he relocated. He opened the lock and stepped inside to find that their room was similar to the girls' except for the fact that it lacked a kitchen and dining room. 'I guess we'll go over there for breakfast' he thought wheeling his suitcase inside.

Once inside Beastboy claimed one of the bedrooms, glad that he had chosen one before Cyborg and Robin got there. He dumped his suitcase of the floor and slid it next to the closet. Unpacking would be pointless. He would grab what he needed out of it as time went on. It was a messy system, but Beastboy was not exactly one to complain. As he opened the curtains, light spilled into the room and a balcony outside was revealed. The view was great but there wasn't much to see yet except rows and rows of giant storage buildings owned the cruise lines. Anxious to see the rest of the ship he went and knocked on the door that connected the girl's suite to his. A familiar monotone voice answered.

"Yes?"

"Uh, it's Beastboy, could you let me in?"

"I could." Replied the voice. He waited expecting the door to open but it remained firmly closed. 'Duh' he thought and smacked his forehead.

"WILL you let me in?" he asked slightly annoyed now.

"I suppose." There was a click as the lock release and then the door swung open to reveal Raven in her usual attire. She glanced at him, seemingly bored and then walked away to what he assumed was her room. Glancing around the girls' suite he saw he was in the kitchen which included a fridge, dishwasher, sink, cappuccino machine, and breakfast nook by a bay window. The kitchen connected to the living room which had large white sofas and a plasma TV that made Beastboy drool. He would definitely be spending a lot of time over here. There was a carpeted hallway that led down to 4 other rooms. The one Raven went through he assumed was a bedroom and the other 3 he guessed probably included another bedroom, a bathroom and something else. Suddenly Beastboy heard a shriek come from one of them and he ran towards the source of the sound, quite alarmed. Upon arriving he found Starfire angrily yelling into the phone, her eyes glowing green with fury.

"You are all Clorbags! How dare you put my bumgorf Silky in a cage! He is not an animal! You must treat him with respect and care for him like he was your own! NOW FREE HIM BEFORE I SEND THE CURSE OF THE GARTINOUS ZACKBORGS UPON YOUR HEADS!" Beastboy watched the whole thing wide-eyed and fearful, hoping that Starfire would not blow up the ship. She slammed down the phone and turned her glowing eyes towards him.

"They entrapped my silky in a pen of playing! A CAGE! SILKY DOES NOT BELONG IN A CAGE!" she yelled at him, as if accusing him of Silky's misfortune. Beastboy nodded his head frantically, hoping that if he agreed with her she would allow him to leave the room in one piece.

"I must tell Robin about the horrible thing that has happened!" she said angrily floating out the room with star bolts at her fingertips. We watched the ruffled alien leave, thankful that all his limbs were still attached to his body. Starfire was a very nice girl but she had a dangerous temper. To cross her meant certain incineration or a volley of Tamaranian curses that made his head spin. He decided he would go find Cyborg to see what was happening and as he turned to leave through the same door Star had exited he found himself face to face with Raven. She looked alarmed and he saw that she was still holding some shirts that she had been unpacking when she heard the commotion. Scanning the room briefly for any clues, she then looked at him for an explanation.

"Star found out that the Titans East put Silky in a play pen." Beastboy said sighing. "She thought it was cruel and so I came in and found her yelling Tamaranian curses into the phone." Raven nodded and finished folding the black shirt in her hands.

"That would explain why she set the curtains on fire on her way out." Said Raven and Beastboy noticed that there was a smoky smell in the air.

"I'm just glad that she chose the curtains and not my head." He chuckled but his smile faded as he realized he was the only one laughing. Big surprise there. Raven turned to go and Beastboy opened his mouth to stop her, but decided against it halfway through his first word so all that came out was "Wai…" Raven paused and looked back at him.

"Uh, do you want to come and check out the rest of the ship with me?" he asked hesitantly. She looked at him for a few moments as if struggling with herself for the answer then nodded her head.

"Let me finish packing and then we can go." She said. Beastboy heart fluttered and he felt like jumping for joy. She had said yes! Now he could spend some time with her, just the two of them!

"Go ask Cyborg and the rest of them if they want to come along." Raven finished as she walked out the door, leaving Beastboy alone. 'Wait what just happened?' he thought. One moment he was going to explore the ship with Raven and the next it had turned into a group field trip. He sighed in defeat and exited after Raven, heading over to see what Cyborg, Robin, and Star were up to.

Ok well this chapter wasn't too bad but a lot of the stuff felt sort of rushed over. Probably because I kept getting tired of typing halfway through a scene. This was the last chapter I had saved on my computer so now I actually have to start typing the story instead of editing what I wrote a long time ago. So it might take me a little longer to update and all. I know the story hasn't shown that much action and adventure yet but I can promise you I got some good stuff to come. Oh and for those reviewers who asked to hear more about Raven's different emotions, I've already started typing up some conversations that she's going to be having with them so stay tuned! And don't worry, Anger is going to play a big part in this fanfic hehe… I got some other stuff up my sleeve too (grins evilly). I LOVE YOU ALL PLEASE REVIEW NOW!

FREE TOASTERS FOR EVERYONE! YAY! (the author has temporarly lost her mind. please hold)
