Chapter Two: Fun In The Sun
It was a few days later and strangely no villains had popped up within the last two days. The sun was shining across the bay, making the water look beautiful. It sparkled like my car after I waxed it yesterday Cyborg thought to himself. Cyborg was fully rested, but it seemed like Starfire hadn't slept well in days. Cyborg and Starfire were the only two up at the moment, and Cyborg was starting to cook breakfast. Cyborg was frying the eggs while Starfire made the pancakes. Cyborg reached over for the salt and accidentally put his hand on Starfire's. They both blushed and drew back quickly, embarrassed. It was a good thing they drew back so quickly, seeing as Robin walked in with Terra a second later.
"Smells good Cyborg. What is it this morning?" Terra asked her mechanical friend.
"Eggs and Pancakes. I have a little help though." Cyborg said as he smiled and looked over at Starfire. She smiled back. Raven had been trying to get up for hours, but Beast Boy was sound asleep. They all looked over at Raven and chuckled as she sighed. In about fifteen more minutes Beast Boy finally woke up, and they all had breakfast. Beast Boy was complaining that Cyborg wouldn't cook his tofu bacon. "Dude, I'm not cookin' that tofu stuff. It's just plain gross." Cyborg was saying to his green friend.
"Come on Cy! I'm not going to eat those real eggs or pancakes." Beast Boy said.
"I guess you'll just eat cereal then." Cyborg said. Everyone chuckled, even Raven. It was actually a pretty nice day outside, and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Cyborg thought that maybe this could be a good day for the Titans to spend a day together to strengthen their friendship. He was determined to get Raven to play football today, since she never had played before. Then they could play three on three volleyball too. He hoped that she would play with them. After breakfast he called all the titans over to the sofa for the big news. "Alright, y'all. I've been doin' some thinkin' and have come up with the ultimate plan for a totally awesome day of incredible fun…"
"Just get on with it already." Raven interrupted.
"As I was saying, we're going to the lake for camping! I've got the whole day planned out for us. I called the police and they said it was okay if we took the day off. They said nothing was happening today anyway. So I figured we could go down to the lake and try to have some fun today. We could swim and play football and eat and play volleyball and eat and other cool stuff. What do you guys think?" Cyborg was clearly out of breath by this point.
"That's sweet Cyborg! Can we?" Beast Boy looked at Robin with desperation.
"Cyborg are you sure it's okay with the police?" Robin asked him.
"Relax, man. They said it was okay, that we deserved it." Cyborg said.
"This is gonna be so cool." Beast Boy said.
"I guess so…" Robin said.
"Yes!" Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire and Terra all said. Raven kept quiet as usual. She didn't seem very enthusiastic, but that was how she always acted. The titans packed their equipment and headed to the lake. When they got there Cy and Beast Boy tried to set up the tent. But every time they made it look like it was standing up, it just fell over again with the slightest touch.
"Uh, Cyborg." Raven approached him. "Do you need some help with that? It doesn't look like it's going very well." She watched as Beast Boy tried over and over, only to fail.
"Raven, this is sort of a guy thing. Why don't you go help Star get some firewood or something?" Cyborg was trying not to be mean.
"Just move." Raven pushed him aside and lifted up her hand. She used her magic to set the tent up within three seconds. "A guy thing, huh?" She looked at Cyborg as he just said
"Uh….." Cyborg was speechless. Raven laughed a little and smiled, then tried to hide it. But Cyborg was no dope. He saw it as a smirk ran across his face. "You smiled." He said simply.
"What? No I didn't." Raven said.
"Don't lie Rae, I saw it. Smiles look good on you. You should use them more often." He said as she blushed.
"Ehemm…" Beast Boy and Starfire were standing right next to them. "We're right here you know."
"Sorry." They both said as they pulled it together.
"Guys, come on in! The water's fine!" Terra shouted as she dragged Robin along, who had a look of sorrow on his face.
"Raven can we please go swimming!" Beast Boy was desperate to swim with his friends.
"Need to meditate." Raven replied simply.
"Pllleeeaaassseee!" Beast Boy was begging now.
"Alright, fine. But I won't like it. And you have to promise not to look." Raven said very threateningly.
"Raven we already went over this with the whole shower thing. Starfire and Terra don't seem to mind as much as you do." Beast Boy was curious.
"Look, do you want to go swimming or not?" Raven asked him with great anger in her voice.
"Yes I do." Beast Boy said simply.
"Then let me change somewhere more secluded." Raven said.
"How about over there?" Beast Boy asked.
"It'll have to do." Raven said. They walked over to the area Beast Boy had pointed out before. "You have to promise not to look. I will literally kill you if I even catch the slightest peek over…"
"Okay okay. I get it. I won't look. I promise." Beast Boy was trying to convince her. "I'm a man of my word."
"What do you mean, man?" Raven said. "Whatever. I'm changing now so look away." She said as she started to change into her suit. Wow this is really weird Beast Boy thought to himself. It's not like I want to see Raven naked…ewww…but then why do I feel like I have the urge to look over…"I'm done. Now it's your turn. And trust me. I WON'T look for obvious reasons." She turned away as he started to change. When they got done the others were all laughing and swimming around as Beast Boy dragged Raven into doing a cannon ball.
