If, I afterdark, can write a long chapter, then this chapter is the longest. If, I afterdark, can update sooner, well, I'll be darned. In other words, sorry, this wasn't up sooner. And, as promised, review answers.

mew-xena: Yes, Happy is the replacement. You'll see more of Happy in the next chapter.

orionred, thecurlEgurl, the master of the unknown: Update!

RyokoJesseandFiend: Yes, lizards and shopping sprees add all the fun. I completely agree.

deathknight sora: Glad you enjoy it.

Madi: Ohhh... I bet you'd write fine. Heck, I always thought I'd just be a reader on here...oops.

snoozy: Ah! They could put it together, together, but Beast Boy's a lizard in Raven's bag. Dun Dun, Duuuhhhhhh!!!! (I'll stop now)

Glad everyone's enjoying it!

Peace out!

Raven sat in her seat on the plane, reading a large book entitled: Dark Poetry for the Ages. She watched the stewardess serve people up and down the rows. Finally, the stewardess moved dow the row to her.

"What can I get you, m'am? We have Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Juice, Tea, Coffee—"

"I'll take the tea."

The stewardess tried to make conversation with the otherwise uninterested Raven.

"So, non stop to Orlando? I here there's a big cruise going out this weekend, something about Teens, I think."

The stewardess handed Raven the cup. "Oh. That's nice."

"So where are you headed?"

"Cruise. Coast. Florida."

"Do you know which one?"

"Nope."

The stewardess got the message.

"Well, good day to you m'am. Thank you for riding Delta Air Lines."

The rest of the flight continued un eventfully, and eventually the plane landed in Orlando. From there, Raven took the bus to the port.

When she got of the bus, she saw cruise line workers ushering people into sections. She got out here ticket to see what section she was in.

The ticket read:

Welcome to Titans Cruise November!

Information:

Raven Roth

Deck "RA"

Cruise Dates: November 28-December 4, 2004

Room Number: 26RA

She hadn't really looked at the ticket before; she had been really eager to get the Titans out of her hair, so she reserved a spot and left. Titans Cruise...She wondered what that meant.

She soon found her answer.

She stepped on to the boat, dubbed "The Titan," and handed her ticket to a man who sent it through a machine.

"Ok, Miss Roth, your all set. If you follow this deck down to the elevator, and take it down one level, you'll find your room." He paused. "Nice costume, by the way."

"What do you mean cos—" she began, but the employee ushered up the next person in line.

Raven walked down the deck.

She froze.

Starfire was walking right in front of her.

Raven slowed her pace, not wanting to be noticed. 'How did they find out?!' She wondered.

But then, "Starfire" turned to go to her room. Raven got a side profile, and saw that "Starfire's" eyes were blue, not green.

Then Raven bumped into a non-green Beast Boy.

"Like, uhh, sorry dude about that dude."

This impostor was holding a book titled Teen Titans Lingo.

"Oh, and like" He paused to look down at his book again. "Nice outfit, it almost looks like—dude—you stole it out of Raven's closet, dude."

The green lizard, now peeping out of Raven's bag, frowned 'I don't talk like THAT.'

Raven, now slightly perplexed, continued to her room. Along the way, she bumped into several Beast Boys, Robins, and a Cyborg. She finally found her room.

Raven sighed. Finally, some peace and quiet. She took a short nap before heading off to dinner. After her nap, she headed down to dinner. About half way down the hall, she met up with another impostor.

This time, it was a Raven impostor.

At first glance, it looked like an authentic costume.

At second glance, you could tell that many of the jewels on her costume were made of cardboard, or were fake.

The impostor was the first to speak. "Whoa! Your outfit is totally authentic. Where'd you find it?"

Raven's Answer was quite blunt. "In Azarath."

The impostor looked puzzled. "Is that a new store?"

"No. It's my home planet."

"Ohhhh...I see. Ya know—wait did you say 'home planet'?"

"Yes. I'm Raven, and I must be getting to dinner."

"Oh, yeah! I'm Raven, too!"

"No. I'm afraid you don't get it. I've flown with Starfire, have gotten annoyed by Beast Boy, have listened constantly to 'Titans Go!' and now I'm on vacation. I'm really Raven."

The impostor looked unconvinced. "Yeah, right."

Raven sighed. "Look, I want to get to dinner, and I don't have time for this."

"Aww... your a fake. I'm not letting you by until you prove your a Titan."

Raven levitated right over the girl, and down the hall.

The girl called out behind her. "Can I get your autograph?!"

Beast Boy, who had been sleeping for sometime in Raven's bag, finally woke up. He peered out over the top of the bag. He saw Raven wasn't in her room, and hopped out of the bag, and morphed back into himself. He looked around the room, a cloak was thrown out on the bed, Raven's meditation mirror was sitting on the dresser ("Well I know where I can go for some kicks."), and a CD player was set out on a desk. Beast Boy walked over to the cloak. He put it on. ("Hey, not a bad fit!") He walked around the room, making the cloak flutter out behind him. "Hi, I'm Raven," he said in a monotonous voice. "You can tell because of my love for all things dark and creepy." He proceeded to do this for a few minutes, but then he sighed.

"I don't like making fun of Raven. And after that hug, well, I donno..."

'Do I love—'

He never got to finish his thought though, because at that moment, the doorknob started to turn.

The plot thickens.
