Chapter 2
"So is there any movie out that you really want to see?" asked Garfield as he drove down the road in his 1995 forest green Honda Accord.
"Well I kinda want to see Zorro...," Raven started saying.
"That's great because Zorro is a movie I wanted to see too!"
"Well at least neither of us will be bored right?"
"Right."
That was the last of their conversation before the movie started. They arrived at the theater and got the tickets. Raven tried to pay for her ticket but Garfield polietly refused and paid for both tickets himself.
'I'll just slip him the money when he isn't looking,' thought Raven sighing to herself.
Raven started to head to the consesion stand but Garfield lightly grabbed her arm, making her heart flutter a little, and pointed to his jacket. As confused as Raven was she decided to go along with him. When they entered the theater and sat in their seats he opened his jacket and pulled out, much to Raven's surprise, a box of Junior mints, two boxes of Junior carmels, and a half pound bag of gummie bears. Raven was about to ask him how he knew her favorite candies, but he just put a finger to his lips to slience her becasue the movie was about to start.
As they watched the movie Raven would on a rare, very rare, occasion glance over at Garfield and just see him staring at the screen. Raven did enjoy the movie, and they were talking about it as they exited the theater.(A/N: Haven't seen that movie yet but I want to!)
Speaking of the movie, "Gar, how did you know what candies I liked to eat?" inquired Raven truly curious.
"Well I asked Star when she called me earlier today and I bought some because the food at the concession stands are way over priced," Gar said casually.
"Yea, that's true. So where are we going again?" asked Raven.
"To some fancy French resturant that I can't pronounce the name of. But if you want to go some where else that's fine with me. I was never one for fancy eating places or French food,"
"Yea me too. Why don't we go hit up another place. You got any ideas?"
He thought for a little bit before replying, "Well we could hit a fastfood place but I know of a small Chinese place that has good food."
"I had fastfood last night so why not the Chinese."
"Alright," said Gar flipping a u turn in the road getting a couple of good honks and swear words for the oter drivers and a dirty look form Raven. "He he..." he said rubbing the back of his neck.
After a few minutes of driving they arrived at their destination. They walked in and were seated and had some time to talk before they ordered.
Raven started, "So what do you do for a living?"
"I work part time at Canned Foods(A/N: One of the best grocery stores ever baby!). And the rest of the time I work on my vet's degree and volunteer at an animal shelter as a trainer.(A/N: See see! He has something to do with animals!)" he said, "So what do you do?"
"I do better then you, but not by much. Working as a manager at Target most of the time and reading a good book for the rest of it."
"So, how much do you get paid to be a bookworm?" asked Gar innocently.
"Ha ha very funny. I wish I could do that for a living. But hey, my jobs better then yours."
"Your right I have to conceed to that. But of course all the little underlinges obey you all the time right? So they're no trobule at all." he said jokingly.
"You have no idea the heck I go through as being a manager," Raven replied putting her hands in her head at the thought of what she had to go through on a regular basis.
At that time the waitress arrived and took their orders. Garfield got mios soup(A/N Srry if the spelling ofends anyone) and chicken and blackbean sauce. Raven ordered fried rice. After the waitress left they made more small talk and after a suprisingly short time their food was brought out. After they stuffed themselves, got the rest doggie bagged up, ate the fortune cookies, and paid the bill they left the resturant.
Raven was very quiet on the drive home think of what she could do to get rid of him before he went in her apartment and Gar was just humming away to himself and remembering the directions Star had given him.
He parked on the road and walked Raven up to the door.
"I had a great time tonight," Raven stated.
"So did I. Do you want to go in now?"
'Crap he's being a gentelmen how do I turn him down,' "You didn't have to walk me up here."
"Nonsence. It's the proper thing to do and besides it's only two flights of stairs."
"Ok let's go in," Raven said fumbeling with her keys. As she placed the key in the door and turned she noticed that the door was already unlocked. 'That's strange I could have sworn that I locked the door before I left...well better to be safe than sorry,' "Hey why don't you go in first Gar?"
"Sure why not?" As Garfield walked in the door and down a couple yards he was attacked and imedantily flipped his attacker over his back and assumed a fight stance.
"What the crap was that for?" yelled Gar's attacker. But as Gar stood there confused, Raven was at the door way laughing so hard she had to lean on the door jam for support. The supposed attacker got up and turned on the light to reveil...Robin.
"Robin..you...really gotta...learn...to relock...my door...after you come in..." sputtered out Raven in between laughs. Gar was still confused but decided it would be best to help Raven to the couch because she couldn't stand up by herself because of her laughing.
"Well if you hadn't sent in a kung fu master before you, I would have scared you and not gotten thrown like a sack of potatoes," muttered Robin rubbing his back.
"Well if you had looked before you pounced, you could have told the difference between Raven and her date," commented Star as she walked out of the shadows, giggling a little.
"Wait," said Raven recovering from her laughing fit, "what are you guys doing here at my apartment?"
"Well we thought we would get reacquianted with Garfield and catch up on our lives, and take a walk down memory lane just for fun," answered Star sitting down next to the sore Robin on the couch oppostie the one that currently held Raven and Gar.
"Fine let's get this walk down memory lane over with," muttered Raven wanting to get back to her book that she was almost done with.
"Actually I'll have to take a rain check on the offer guys. I'm needed at an early moring shift at my first job and I need all the sleep I can get right now with that and my other activities," said Gar standing up getting ready to leave.
"But at least stay and tell us a little of what's new if your life, please?" begged Star with her most patietic puppy dog face on, ready to go to her knees if necessary.
"Alright you got me with the puppy face. Well I'll make it short but, I work part time at Canned Foods and an animal shelter. Plus on top of that I have college classes and a twice a night Kem Po class (A/N: Srry again about the spelling not my forte.). So to sum it up a bussy scheduel and very little sleeping opturnites," he said right to the point, "But Star can give you my cell number or e-mail address if you would like it."
"I have some quick questions before you leave though," called Robin after Gar's back, "Where do you take your Kem Po classes and what belt are you?"
"I take my classes at a private studio and I'm a second degree black belt," Gar answered, "If your asking then please tell me what belt you are?"
"Well I'm a fourth degree black belt and I learn and teach at a private studio as well..." said Robin rubbing his chin thinking that maybe he had gotten thrown once like that before.
"It's been fun but I really do have to get going," stressed Gar.
"Hey. Before you go how about a good night kiss for the lady," suggested Starin a joking tone.
Raven turned to give her a look that could kill as Garfield said, "I know that I wouldn't mind giving her one, but she doesn't look like she wants one right now." having said that Gar winked at Raven and walked out the door, shutting it behind him.
Raven turned to Star with a slight blush on her face and said through gritted teeth, "Star if you weren't such a good friend then you know you would be dead right now, right?"
"Oh yes I do know that. So enough said how about we exit and leave Raven to her thoughts," Star was already halfway out the door dragging a still thinking Robin behind her.
"One of these days..one of these days," muttered Raven.
As Raven got ready for bed she was slightly happy and embarrassed at what had happened that night. When she climbed into bed. The she noticed that for once, in a great long while she was happy before she went to bed. That night she had that romantice dream about the beach scene with the guy again. But as she turned up to kiss him she looked up and saw Garfield's face.
