Beast Boy had fallen asleep thinking, and woke up to voices and laughter. He rolled off his bed, and picked himself off the floor and shook his head quickly, then leaned against his door and listened. It was Robin, with Aqualad. Aqualad's here? Beast Boy thought quickly. Then Terra must be too, he quickly ran out of his room and slid into the main area where the two were talking. He looked around quickly, expecting to see her, but it was just the two.
"Morning Beast Boy," Robin said turning to him, then nodding to Aqualad. "He's just here to drop something off," he said, as if he had read Beast Boy's mind.
"Oh, right, hi," he said blinking and looking at him.
"Hello," he said offering a small smile, then looked back to Robin. "Anyways, I better be getting off, got some plans this afternoon,"
"Oh yeah, like what?" Robin asked conversationally, and leaned back against the back of the couch.
He laughed slightly. "Oh, we're going bowling," he said smiling again.
" Bowling...?" Beast Boy repeated, peering at him suspiciously.
"Yeah, now that we have 6 players, teams of 3," he said nodding. Beast Boy looked quickly at Robin with wide eyes, and cupped his fist under his chin in pleading while Aqualad was looking in the opposite direction. 'Pleasssee' he mouthed over and over. Robin sighed, and looked back over at Aqualad.
"Uh, mind if we join?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Not at all, the more the merrier!" he laughed again. "But it will put us at an un even number again,"
"We'll figure it all out later!" Beast Boy said jumping forward and shaking his hand eagerly.
"Well okay," Aqualad said staring at him slightly. "So, 8:00, at the only bowling lanes! See you then," he said then waved, and turned out.
Robin turned around and glanced at Beast Boy. "You know I can't keep doing that so you have an excuse to see Terra"
"I know I know," Beast Boy said with a small sigh.
"Why don't you ever just go see her on her own?" Robin inquired, glancing up at his fellow team mate.
Beast Boy tugged on his hair slightly. "Dude, I don't know! I just, don't know," he finished quietly.
Robin put his mouth to the side slightly. "Well, go tell the others of the plans tonight then," he said
The jokester nodded, and first headed to Cyborg's room, where he knew he was fixing up on his T-car again. Once Beast Boy informed him on the plans, he was all over it and agreed to go as well. Beast Boy next found Starfire in the kitchen, to his disgust cooking.
"Friend!" she said once she spotted him. "You must taste my cake, yes?" she asked holding up a plate, which looked like a brown cake with green chunks, and mustard for icing.
"Uhh, maybe later Star," he said trying not to gag at the site and smell of it. "We're going bowling tonight, you in?".
Her eyes were wide with excitement. "The bowling of the pins"
"Yeahhh that one,"
"Of course I will join!" she said smiling widely, and Beast Boy fainted returned it. There was only one titan left...and the green titan gulped as he made his way towards Raven's room.
"Uh Raven?" he asked after knocking on the door.
The door slowly slide open a bit, and her dark eyes stared at him through her pulled up hood.
"Yes?" she asked in her monotone voice.
"Uhh, see we're going bowling tonight with The Titan's East, so uhh you in?" he asked, trying to offer a smile.
"No," she said and the door closed.
"Raven? You sure?" he asked frowning sure.
"Positive," she said, voice muffled from inside her room. Beast Boy sighed slightly and stepped away from her door then down the hall into his own room, where he flopped down on his bed. He'd have to think of a plan to get him some alone time with Terra, hopefully he'd get on her bowling team, and then maybe after bowling he could invite everyone over, but of course his ambition was to get her alone. He'd show her the best time with him that she's had in months, and then he would ask the question again, if anything was between them...he thought.
The Titan's East stepped downstairs into the bowling alley, and blinked at the disco and shimmering lights that were flashing everywhere. The two small Spanish twins were highly amused that their white uniforms were turning up purple. Aqualad stepped up and checked in with the man behind the till, paid him and got their two lanes. Everyone else came up and got their bowling shoes, and heading to lane 5 and 6 and began putting them on.
As Speedy tied his laces up, he glanced over at Terra, who was doing up her own. God, why does she always have her hair down? It'd look much nicer up, or something, and- he thought but was inturrupted by the arrival of the other Titans.
"Friends!" Starfire said happily from across the room. "Are we ready to play, yes?"
"We just need to get our shoes Star," Robin said pointing and the rest got theirs and they too tied them up.
"Ohhh yeah I'm going to blow y'all away," Cyborg said pelvic thrusting.
"Bring it on," Robin, Speedy and Aqualad said. While everyone was busy with their friendly argument, Beast Boy slipped over to Terra.
"H-hey,"
She looked up at him through her curtain of blond hair that swept over her. "Oh hey Beast Boy, what's shakin?"
"Ahhh the usual," he said casually, then pointed slyly at the bowling balls, which rested shiny and waiting to be picked up, ready to crash into the pins. "You any good at bowling?" he asked wagging his eyebrows.
"Oh, I've played a few times," she said grinning confidently then standing up, so he guessed she was.
"Well, better hope you get me on your team," Beast Boy said pretending to flex. She laughed and rolled her eyes slightly and gave him a push, and he slowly returned the grin then glanced around, noticing Speedy staring at him hard. He quickly looked away, wondering what that was all about.
"Where's Raven?" Aqualad asked, slightly concerned.
"She wasn't up for bowling tonight," Robin said shaking his head. "Anyways, we have everyone's names in here," he said holding up a red baseball hat. "To determine the team,". Everyone watched as he plunged his hand into the hat and shuffled around for a moment. Please let me be on Terra's team, please, Beast Boy prayed as Robin pulled out a handful of papers.
"Team 1 will consist of Starfire, Mas, Bumblebee, myself and Aqualad, and Team Two is everyone else, so Cyborg, Menos, Beast Boy, Speedy and Terra,"
YESSS! Beast Boy silently cheered. Bumblebee sat at the two small screens and typed everyone's names in, and they appeared on the tv's hanging from the ceiling.
"Starfire, Cyborg, your up," Robin said sitting down. The alien girl gracefully jumped up and picked up a ball, before whipping her arm around like a windmill. Everyone tucked as she released the ball, and it went flying through the air and crashed back on the bowling lane, and slammed into the pins, knocking them down. She cheered and giggled while smiling happily, and walked past a staring, open mouthed Cyborg. He picked his own ball up, and stuck his tongue to the side before rolling it hard down the alley and then hitting all but 1 pin. He grumbled as everyone laughed and sat back down.
Mas and Menos both went, followed by Bumble Bee and Beast Boy, Robin with Speedy, and Aqualad and Terra. They played the ten full rounds, and everyone looked up at the score.
Team 1: 258 Team 2: 273
"Booyah!" Cyborg shouting punching his first into the air. Menos chanted a Spanish cheer, and Beast Boy went to go congratulate Terra when Speedy patted her back and left his arm there for several moments until Robin came up to congratulate him as well. Beast Boy's eyes bulged as he stared at Speedy. He stepped aside to talk with Robin, but he kept glancing at Terra with the same expression Beast Boy wore when he first laid eyes on the earth moving girl.
He was frozen for a moment until Cyborg clapped him on the back. "C'mon BB, let's get something to drink before we start the next game," he said guiding him into the snack area. Robin was back, this time talking with Aqualad, talking, a can drink in both their hands. Cyborg handed Beast Boy one and he nearly dropped it, then slowly followed Cyborg to Robin and the water titan, who looked up and nodded a greeting to him.
"So anyways, I finally got it out of him, at first he was fuming for it, for some reason, I have no clue, but in the end he admitted to it,".
Robin smiled weakly and glanced at Beast Boy, who stood peering at them suspiciously.
"He who? Admitting what?"
"Oh," Aqualad said with an amused smile. "Speedy, admitted to liking Terra," he said with a chuckle, and Beast Boy once again froze.
"Ohh my little rock and rolla!" Cyborg said laughing as well. "Man Speedy? Liking someone other then himself? This I gotta see,"
"Well it's not that hard to notice," Aqualad said still slightly smiling. "Just watch him during the next game, constantly sitting by her, trying to make her laugh..."
Beast Boy couldn't listen anymore. He quietly turned around, and headed for the nearest EXIT and stumbled out. He sat on the ground, staring ahead when he heard someone follow after him.
"Beast Boy?" Robin asked from behind him. He didn't reply, so his leader walked in front of him and kneeled down so he was at his eye level. "You okay?" he asked, wearing a sad expression.
"How am I suppose to have a chance if Speedy likes her?" he asked miserably. "While she's there, he could be with her 24/7, and who knows, anything could happen, could have happened, I mean he's just has way more to offer, and..." he just simply shook his head.
Robin put his arm on his shoulder firmly, so Beast Boy looked up. "It's not over yet, you don't know that she likes him, or something is going on between them, Terra treats him just like everyone else from what I noticed, don't give up,"
Beast Boy sighed slightly and pulled his knees to his chest. "Robin? Could you do me what last favour?"
"Like what?"
"Could you, invite them over after bowling? Please? I just...need to talk to her," he said quietly.
Robin stood up. "I'll see what I can do," he said then turned and headed back inside. Beast Boy glanced after him, then sighed again before following after him.
