Chapter 3 'snake.'

"Passengers we are now landing in Lamumba. Please stay seated until the plane has landed." Said a voice from an intercom overhead.

Beast Boy's grip tightened around the arms of his chair. Stay calm. It's no big deal right? RIGHT? Beast Boy gulped and closed his eyes loudly as he felt the plane reach the ground. It's no big deal. It's no big deal. It's no big deal. Beast Boy repeated in his head.

"You may now exit the plane. Thank you and have a nice day." Said the flight attendant.

Beast Boy's eyes shot open and he gripped the chair tighter. "Big deal." He whispered.

"Beast Boy are you coming." Said Raven.

Beast Boy looked around. Almost everyone on the plane was gone. It looked like him and Raven were the only ones on the plane.

"Ummm…yeah, where's Cyborg?" Asked Beast Boy standing up.

"He's waiting outside of the plane, now hurry up." Said Raven.

Beast Boy nodded and followed her out of the plane. As soon as they reached the exit they spotted Cyborg lugging three bags.

"Come on ya'll! We gotta find a place to set up camp before it gets dark." Yelled Cyborg.

"We're camping?" Asked Beast Boy.

"Where else did you think we were going to sleep? A five star hotel?" Asked Raven sarcastically.

"Hey you two, stop flirting with each other and lets get going!" Yelled Cyborg.

Beast Boy and Raven both turned to him. "Come on." Snapped Raven walking away from both of them and into the thick patch trees ahead of them.

"Should we…follow her?" Asked Beast Boy pointing in the direction she was walking. "I mean she could get lost and-."

"You worried?" Asked Cyborg looking down at the green boy a small smirk beginning to form at the corners of his mouth.

"Well, yeah. I mean Raven's my friend and I-NO WAY!" Yelled Beast Boy watching the smirk getting wider. "I know what you're thinking Cyborg, I do not like Raven like that!"

Cyborg laughed. "Whatever you say BB, whatever you say." Said Cyborg running into the trees after Raven.

"I don't like her like that…do I?" wondered Beast Boy aloud. He looked up and sighed. "I hope I know what I'm doing." He whispered. Beast Boy sprinted into the trees after his friends.

"Here we are." Said Cyborg throwing down the bags on a patch of grass.

"This is where we're sleeping?" Asked Beast Boy looking around.

"Yep! Robin gave me the coordinates and he said this is where we're sleeping." Said Cyborg taking out a small cube-like object and setting it on the ground. "Stand back ya'll this things gonna blow." He said backing up and pressing a small device.

"Ummm…what's that spose to-." Began Beast Boy.

But before he could finish the small cube began to shake and a gigantic tent popped out of it.

"I call it 'tent in a cube'." Said Cyborg proudly. "Well, have fun setting up your tents you two. I think I'll go see if I can find something for dinner." He said walking into the patch of trees ahead of him.

"He isn't serious is he?" Asked Beast Boy.

"I'm not sure. I didn't even think that Cyborg knew how to hunt." Said Raven pulling her tent out of its case.

"I was talking about us setting up our tents. I mean why doesn't he have too." Complained Beast Boy.

"Because." Said Raven. "He needs a tent that allows him to recharge at night. We don't." She said in her monotone.

Beast Boy sighed. "So…where's my tent anyway?" He asked.

Raven pointed over by the bags.

"Oh." Said Beast Boy. He walked over to the spot where all of their suitcases were laying on the ground and pulled out a green case.

Raven watched out of the corner of her eye as Beast Boy plopped the tent down in a spot and tried to fasten the bottom of the tent to the stakes. The key word was tried. He wasn't having very much success. Every time he would fasten one side he would run to the other side and end up pulling the stakes out from the ground.

"Here." Said Raven after countless minutes of watching him run from side to side. She stood up and walked over to his tent.

Beast Boy watched as a black aura formed around the tent and it was fully pitched in less then two minutes.

"Ummm…thanks." Said Beast Boy. "So when do you think Cyborg will be back?" He asked.

Raven shrugged. "I'm guessing before it gets dark." She said.

"Oh." Beast Boy watched as Raven fished out her book from her suitcase and levitated up into the air with it in a lotus position.

He wasn't sure how much time had past. So far she had turned ten pages, scanned four hundred-fifty lines and what amazed Beast Boy most…she was smiling.

Suddenly her smile faded and she glanced up from her book making eye contact with him. "What?" She asked.

Beast Boy froze. She'd spotted him. "What?" He asked.

Raven glared at him and snapped the book shut. "You were staring at me…is there something wrong?" She asked.

Beast Boy could feel his heart beating faster. "Am I not aloud to look at you?" He asked pulling at his shirt collar nervously.

Raven opened her moth to respond, but before she could say anything a loud scream erupted from the trees.

Both of them turned.

Just then Cyborg ran out from the patch of trees waving his hands wildly in the air. "Run for your lives it's after me!" He yelled.

"What is it?" Asked Beast Boy.

Cyborg didn't respond. He just dove into his tent and zipped it tight.

Beast boy and Raven turned back to the trees only to find a small chipmunk run out. Beast Boy started to laugh hysterically and Raven rolled her eyes.

"You were scared of a…chipmunk?" She asked.

Cyborg popped his head out from the tent and looked at the furry creature. "That's what it was?" He asked. "Its shadow looked bigger." He said.

Raven rolled her eyes again as Beast Boy laughed even harder.

Suddenly there was a soft hissing sound from the trees. Beast Boy's laughter abruptly stopped and he quickly sat up looking into the green trees surrounding them.

"What's that noise?" Asked Beast Boy trying to find out which angle the hissing noise was coming from.

"Probably just a snake. I mean we are in the jungle what did you expect for there to be no animals or something?" Asked Raven.

Beast Boy didn't answer he just continued to look around.

"Don't tell me you're afraid of snakes B." Said Cyborg climbing out from his tent.

"And this coming from someone who's afraid of chipmunks." Said Raven.

Cyborg shot her a glare.

"I'm not afraid." Said Beast Boy. "I just don't like them that much." He said.

Memories came flooding back to him. The large Mamba (A/N: I have no idea what kind of snake it was so I'm just making this up.)…His mother's terrified scream…he could remember everyone's reactions when they saw him transform for the first time…

"Beast Boy are you OK?" Asked a soft monotone voice.

"Huh? Wha…yeah I'm fine." Said Beast Boy. His ears perked up as he heard something to the left of him. "Cyborg move." Snapped Beast Boy.

"Yo, B you feeling all right?" Asked Cyborg.

Beast Boy transformed into a bear and pushed Cyborg making him back up and fall backwards.

"What's wrong with-." Began Cyborg but before he could finish a large snake flew out from the trees landing where Cyborg would have been standing.

"Oh." Said Cyborg.

"Azerath Metrion Zin-." Began Raven. But before she could finish chanting her mantra a green mongoose jumped onto the snake and began to attack.

Cyborg and Raven stood there dumb struck watching the green mongoose, a.k.a. Beast Boy, beat the living crap out of this snake.

Finally after countless minutes of watching the mongoose and snake fight, the snake dropped to the ground…dead.

Beast Boy transformed back to his normal form and sat on the ground. Woah. De'ja' vu. Thought Beast Boy just before he passed out collapsing onto the ground.

Please REVIEW me and I'll try to get the next chapter up real soon! I'm not sure if I spelt De'ja'vu right or not? Anyway tell me what you think?
