I am so hating myself right now. I haven't updated in three weeks! Three whole weeks! I hope this chapter will help you forgive me!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans and I have nothing sarcastic or funny to say. I'm so poor.
"Oh, Robin, I think I am able to remember of that tree we had passed recently," Starfire said.
"Ugh, all the trees look the same, Starfire," Robin said, a little annoyed.
Starfire looked at him with sad eyes.
"But it's good you noticed it," Robin added quickly.
"Robin, I thank you for being so kind to me," Starfire said.
"Any time, Star," Robin smiled.
In a different part of the woods….
"Ow!" Raven moaned as she hit a branch. She started muttering about how life was stupid.
"Ugh! Grrrr…." Raven mumbled. "As soon as I find Starfire and Robin, I'll kill them for getting lost. They're mature enough to know where they were. Then again…."
"Hey, Starfire, be careful walking under that branch!" Robin called.
Starfire giggled. "Thank you, Robin!"
Okay, maybe they would be too caught up in how into each other they are, Raven thought. She was so busy thinking about this, she slipped down a rough hill.
"Yah!" she screamed, which was odd because she almost never screams.
She slid down further and further, her cloak snagging into rocks and protecting her underside from getting too scratched.
Gotta concentrate, gotta concentrate, Raven thought as she closed her eyes. No! She couldn't do it. She was too scared.
Raven's eyes widened.
She was about to fall down a cliff into a thicket of newly found trees. If she didn't concentrate soon….
"Aaaaahhh!" she screamed again as she slid off the cliff like a slide.
Luckily and conveniently, there was a branch that stuck out just enough for her cloak to get caught in by the hood that had ripped. Raven sighed for her luck, though once she thought about it, she scowled.
"Brilliant," she mumbled. "Well, I think I've been gone more than an hour, I'm sure that idiot and Beast Boy can figure out where I am. What! I mean, those two idiots," Raven added hastily to no one in particular. "Then again…."
At the Campsite…. (AN: I am soo tired of writing these)
"How long has it been since Raven left?" Beast Boy asked lazily as he slipped off a rock he was laying on.
"Er, fifteen minutes?" Cyborg guessed.
"Okay," Beast Boy shrugged and altered his position on the rock.
With Raven….
"I'm doomed," Raven said as she slapped her face.
At the Tower….
"She likes WHO?" Speedy exclaimed. His features clearly showed he was trying to hold in a laugh.
"Give me that!" Bumblebee snatched the diary out of Speedy's hands as he fell onto the ground laughing.
"That's not cool, Speedy. You seriously need to crank down the volume," Bumblebee scolded, though she couldn't believe it either.
Raven liked Beast Boy. Of all the people to like. She picked Beast Boy! Her complete opposite!
"Anyway, what did you find?" Bumblebee asked, trying to change the subject.
"Ah….oh yeah. But compared to what you found, this isn't much." Speedy pulled out a photo and held it up.
Bumblebee's eyes didn't change; though her she arched one eyebrow.
"So what? We all know that Robin likes Star. Did he leave this out in the open?" she asked curiously.
"Well, not really. Hey, do you think Beast Boy—"
"Do you think Beast Boy what?" asked a voice from Raven's door.
Bumblebee and Speedy turned in unison.
Aqualad and Mas Y Menos were standing at the door, arms crossed.
"Busted," Mas Y Menos said in Spanish.
"Okay, it's not what it looks like," Speedy started.
"You mean you and Bumblebee in Raven's forbidden room looking in her diary and looking at a picture of Starfire you obviously took from Robin's room?" Aqualad arched an eyebrow.
"Okay, it is what it looks like," Speedy said.
"You guys are so immature," Aqualad scolded.
Bumblebee and Speedy looked down.
"Next time show us what you find!" Aqualad rushed over and looked at the diary. (AN: I know, very unAqualad-ish)
At the Camp in forty-five minutes….
"Okay, I think it's an hour and Raven's not back yet. Should we be worried?" Beast Boy asked worriedly.
"Kind of. Look, how about we go and find her, Robin and Starfire. I'm getting hungry," Cyborg said as he got to his feet. "Let's go before I start trying to eat you."
"Let's," Beast Boy agreed and ran ahead.
"Yow! Argh, man, this is why I like civilization," Cyborg growled as he hit a tree.
"Aw, come on, Cy. It's not that bad. Besides, you can't feel it that much, you're part robot," Beast Boy said optimistically.
"Whatever," Cyborg said. "I'm gonna blast this place down."
He drew his arm out as it quickly transformed into his sonic cannon, milky blue light forming.
"Put that away, dude! You can't blast this place, it's a campsite! Don't you watch TV? Only you can prevent forest fires!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"You really need to get a hobby," Cyborg sighed as his cannon turned back into a robotic hand.
Hey, do you hear someone complaining?" Beast Boy asked.
On the edge of the cliff….
"Argh! Stupid wilderness! Stupid vacation!" Raven shouted as she kicked the cliff with the back of her foot.
"Ow! Gr, stupid cliff," Raven mumbled.
Suddenly, Raven heard a ripping noise. She was starting to be lowered down.
"Oh, no," she muttered. "Have to concentrate…."
The ripping started getting louder.
"Azarath…"
She was being lowered faster.
"Metrion…."
Raven fell, her cloak had ripped!
"Zinthose!" Raven screamed. She was stopped from falling by her last-minute concentration.
"Good timing," Raven sighed as she reached back to put her hood over her head. She couldn't feel it. She looked back at the branch and her hood had been blown off and into the darker damper woods below.
Raven frowned.
"Brilliant," Raven scowled as she landed into the woods again. "Just perfect."
She suddenly heard quick foot steps. In a few seconds, she saw Beast boy coming out.
"Beast Boy!" Raven exclaimed.
"Raven!" Beast Boy shouted.
He ran to her and she couldn't help hugging him.
Beast Boy hugged her back. It felt good to see her again, even though it had just been an hour and fifteen minutes.
Raven smiled, but just as soon as she saw what she was doing, she let go and blushed.
Beast Boy was disappointed, but was a little glad she withdrew, for Cyborg was running up to them.
"Man, you run fast for a little guy," Cyborg gasped for air.
Beast Boy smiled and looked at Raven.
She wasn't blushing anymore.
"I never thought I'd be happy to see you pinheads," Raven said.
"Hey, Raven. Where's your hood?" Beast Boy asked.
"It fell into the dark creepy woods down there," Raven answered, pointing down the cliff.
"Oh," Beast Boy said.
"Come on, ya'll, we'd better find Robin ad Star before they start to crack," Cyborg advised.
In a different location in the woods….
"Augh! I can't take this anymore!" Robin shouted as he ran through the woods.
"Robin, no! We must not get separated!" Starfire cried as she hastened to follow him.
Robin was shouting maniacally through the woods.
"The being lost has made him delirious. I must get to him!" Starfire said to herself as she started flying, dodging trees as she kept her eyes on Robin.
"Aaaaaahhh!" Robin yelled as he disappeared from
Starfire's sight.
"Robin!" Starfire cried as she followed where she had lost seen him and found that he had found the campsite!
Robin was breathing hard as he stared at the campsite.
"What the—?" Robin gasped.
"Robin! You have located the site of camp!" Starfire squealed as she hugged him. It wasn't her death hug, but it was merely a loving hug.
"Uh, yeah, I guess I did," Robin smiled as he hugged her too.
"I suppose I should have never gotten us a vacation," Starfire sighed, still hugging him.
"Getting us a vacation is fine, Star. Next time, just tell us first," Robin said.
"That will be done," Starfire smiled and let go of him. "Robin, I was truly worried when you started to get, how you say, 'crazy'" Starfire said.
"Yeah, well, I never really liked the wilderness as a kid," Robin shrugged. "I guess leaders shouldn't go crazy."
"That is why I had gotten us the vacation, Robin," Starfire confessed.
"To make me not like the wilderness?" Robin asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"No, to make you relax. I think I did the opposite," Starfire sighed.
"I'm relaxing right now," Robin pointed out.
"But you had to have no relaxation to do that. I don't like it when you aren't relaxed, Robin. It seems to make you unhappy," Starfire said, looking down.
Robin cupped his fingers on Starfire's chin and lifted it so he could see her face.
"Starfire, I—you're really sweet and I love how you are. You don't have to make me relax to have me happy. You need to, well, you don't need to, I just would want you to…."
Starfire but her finger on his lips to make him stop talking.
"I am hoping it is the same thing that brings me pleasure," Starfire smiled.
Robin smiled too and kissed her.
"I hope it is too."
In the woods….
"This is the most horrible vacation ever!" Raven screamed.
"You read my mind," Cyborg sighed.
"Ditto," Beast Boy agreed.
"If it wasn't illegal, I'd burn this stupid forest for good!" Raven said.
"Yeah, I—yah!" Beast Boy yelled as he fell into a hole.
"Ow, what happened?" Raven asked, she had fallen into the twenty foot hole too.
"You guys okay?" Cyborg asked.
"No!" Beast Boy and Raven called in unison.
"Okay, just get back up here," Cyborg shouted.
Suddenly, a large boulder slammed onto the hole and everything went dark.
"Never mind!" Cyborg yelled. "I'll try to move the boulder!"
Grunting sounds were heard from above.
"I can't move it! I'll just have to find Starfire and Robin, Star can move the boulder!"
Loud clanking footsteps were heard and everything was silent.
"Raven, what'll we do?" Beast Boy asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I don't think I could move the boulder. If Cyborg can't then I can't," Raven sighed.
"I guess we'll have to wait in here," Beast Boy sighed.
Raven didn't really like to hear Beast Boy unhappy.
"It's not so bad," Raven said.
"We're in the dark and alone. I can't think of anything that's good," Beast Boy said glumly.
"We…we still have each other," Raven said.
A pair of eyes turned to look at Raven.
"Yeah, we do."
Back at the Tower….
"Get out! You have to protect Steel City!" Aqualad shouted as he started pushing Speedy and Bumblebee out the door.
"Come on! Can't we stay here for the night! We haven't even looked in Beast Boy's room for signs of evidence that he likes Raven too!" Speedy pleaded.
"Out!" Aqualad shoved them out and closed the door.
"Phew, I can't believe they want to do something as despicable as that," Aqualad shook his head. "Right guys?"
Mas and Menos weren't there.
"Guys?"
"Aqualad started walking into the elevator and into the living room.
As the doors opened, Mas y Menos sped up to Aqualad.
"Look what we found!" Mas y Menos shouted excitedly in Spanish.
"What?" Aqualad asked as he took the little green book Mas y Menos had in their hands.
"Don't tell me. Beast Boy's journal?" Aqualad guessed.
"Si!" Mas y Menos smiled.
"You guys should be ashamed. But, anyhow, since you found it, I suppose we can read it," Aqualad said. "Even if it's against my rights of being a nice guy."
At the campsite….
Robin and Starfire had quickly agreed that Robin would stand look-out incase the others got back and Starfire should scan the woods from above for any actions that attracts her attention; half because they wanted to be by themselves to reminisce on what had just happened and half because they didn't want to get into the woods again.
As Robin sat down, he thought about five minutes ago. He had finally gotten the courage to show Starfire his true feelings. It would see that he was the member with most courage, wit, and the one who should save the day, but when it came to girls, he wasn't exactly the sharpest tack in the drawer.
Starfire thought about what had happened just minutes ago. She didn't fully understand how or what had happened, though she experienced reading love stories in her spare time. What had happened was just like in all the love stories she had read. This 'kiss' was what had happened between Robin and herself. It was also usually followed by the phrase 'I love you' in whatever way the author had put it.
Starfire soared through the gloomy dark blue skies as she scanned the top of the many trees in the woods. It had only been about half a day, and so many things were happening. This was exactly what Starfire wanted to avoid, though if she hadn't messed up with the whole camping trip, it would've maybe taken months, maybe years until she finally gotten the courage to tell him her true feelings.
Starfire emptied her mind of the thoughts and stored them in the back of her head for later. Right now, she had to find her three other friends.
In the hole….
"Raven?" Beast Boy said after a while.
"Yes?" Raven asked as she turned her head to where she thought was Beast Boy.
"Well, I think this would maybe be a good time to…you know."
"I don't know." Raven said truthfully. What was Beast Boy talking about?
"I don't mean it to be hard to understand. I just want it simple. The truth is, Raven, that I sort of…kind of…think that…I like you. More than anything," Beast Boy said shyly.
"Y-you do?" Raven asked, slightly shocked but happier than she had ever been before.
"Yeah, I think so. I really want to be with you Raven. Forever. I always worry about you, and think about you. When you're meditating, I watch you when I know no one's looking. I do tons of things you don't know about," Beast Boy said, a little more confidently.
"I don't know what to say," Raven said.
"You don't have to say anything," Beast Boy smiled in the dark as he drew his hand onto her cheek. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Raven smiled in the dark and both of them didn't notice the rock suddenly flying up because of the emotions running through Raven's mind. They were too busy kissing.
In the woods with Cyborg….
Cyborg hadn't gone far when he heard a deafening crash. He looked back and ran toward the place where he thought it had come from.
In the sky….
Starfire saw a large boulder fly up through the trees for a short period of time and heard it crash. Naturally, she came over to investigate.
In the hole….
Raven broke apart form Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy, you know I like you. Very much. But I don't know how I'd be able to be with you. I don't think there is any other way," Raven said sadly.
"Oh yes there is," Beast Boy said, suddenly noticing it was a little brighter, but ignored it just the same.
"I went digging through your spell books once. Before you kill me, I think you should know that there's a spell you can cast that lets you have feelings," Beast boy explained.
"Beast Boy, that's wonderful!" Raven exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck. (A/N: Yeah, I know. Very un-Raven-ish.)
"So you're not going to kill me?" Beast Boy said.
"Why did you keep it from me?" Raven asked, letting go of Beast Boy.
"Well, I wanted to know if you liked me too," Beast Boy shrugged. "But that doesn't matter now. Once we get out of this nightmare, you can have feelings and be my girlfriend. I mean, if you accept."
"Of course I do," Raven smiled.
At the Tower….
"Oh my," Aqualad gasped as he read through Beast Boy's journal. "He likes her too."
"What?" Mas Y Menos asked in Spanish of course, trying to figure out what Aqualad was saying.
"Never mind. Let's just put this somewhere safe before Speedy and Bumblebee find it. Put it back where you found it and not a word from either of you. Not that it would matter anyway," Aqualad said.
Okay, I think this was pretty long. Please R&R!
