The Teen Titans were in pursuit of the three Hive Academy students, Mammoth, Jinx, and Gizmo, who had just finished robbing...a candy shop!
"Like taking candy from a baby," Jinx shot a few bad luck spells at Raven, who flew backwards. Beast Boy rushed at Jinx as he transformed into a tiger and knocked her over. Robin threw three freezing disks at Mammoth. He dodged the first two, but the last hit it's mark.
Cyborg was chasing after Gizmo, "Come back here you little..."
"Aaah! Leave me alone Snot Muncher!" Was Gizmo's reply.
"That's Cyborg!" Gizmo found himself on the ground hit by a sonic blast.
Raven contained Jinx within a black aura and the battle was over.
"Whew," Sighed Beast Boy as the Titans walked down the street, towards the tower. The owner of the candy shop had given the Titans all the free candy they can carry. "Who knew being a hero was so much work!" Beast Boy complained sucking on a lolly pop and carrying two giant bags of candy.
"It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't take so much," Robin pointed out holding up his relatively small bag of candy.
Beast Boy groaned and looked around at his friends. Cyborg was stuffing himself with as much candy as possible, Starfire was flying through the air with a bag of candy the same size as Robin's intently chewing a piece of gum and blowing bubbles, she giggled every time a bubble popped, and Raven was walking slightly behind the others, not carrying, or chewing, anything.
Beast Boy stopped and let the others pass while waiting for Raven to catch up,."Raven, a little help?" He asked, referring to his huge bags of candy.
Beast Boy sighed in relief as Raven surrounded one of his candy bags in a black aura and lifted it into the air. "I need a vacation," She complained.
Robin pondered this thought all the way back to the tower, "A vacation... But how could we pull that off? We can't leave the city... Or can we?"
The next morning (around 5)...
Beast Boy knocked on Raven's door, "Raven!" He called, "Wakey, wakey, tofu eggs and bakey!"
"I'm already up!" Came the reply from inside the room. "And that's getting really old," Raven told him as she opened the door.
"What are you doing up so early, Raven?" Robin asked from behind Beast Boy. "I haven't seen you up this early since..." His voice trailed off and there was a worried look on his face. Robin has been referring to the day Trigon came after Raven and Robin had found her on the roof about this time.
"Little do you know, I'm always up this early," Raven replied. The worried look on Robin's face vanished.
"Then how come we have never seen you--" Starfire started, seeming to magically appear next to Beast Boy.
"Two reasons..." Raven started. "One, you guys are never up this early. And two, just because you've never seen something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist," She concluded.
"Yeah! Have you ever seen a million dollars?" Cyborg agreed. Starfire jumped about 10 feet in the air seeming to forget he had been there and creating a new sky-light outside Raven's door.
Raven looked at her friends skeptically, "And what are you all doing up?"
"VACATION!" They all shouted, nearly blowing Raven away.
"Vacation?" Raven asked.
"VACATION!" The Titans repeated.
"But who's going to watch the city?" Raven was unsure about leaving.
"Come on Raven!" Beast Boy pleaded. "Do you always have to look on the down-side?" He asked.
"Someone has to," Raven replied. Beast Boy was confused on rather she meant someone has to look on the down-side, or someone has to watch the city... Or both. "And no-one's answered my question yet," She looked to her leader for an explanation.
"I thought you might ask," Robin raised an eyebrow and smiled. The door bell rang...
