Hey all my lovely readers! Thanks so much for all the reviews! I'm glad that you guys are all enjoying it. Well this chapter was kind of hard just because I couldn't figure out where I wanted it to go. I'm not sure if I like it a lot but hopefully you all like it!

Chapter 3:

Past Friends

"The Loner" was out in the middle of the ocean on a clear sky day. Raven hated those days because they meant sunburn. Even though she was always outside, she still had very pale, sensitive skin. She was always paler than anyone she had ever met.

The sun was right in the middle of the sky and the two pirates were relaxing lazily on the ship. Raven was leaning on the ships wheel and Garfield was near by with his back against the railing.

"Ok, ok, let me try again" Garfield said as Raven rolled her eyes as her little friend continued on with the childish game "I spy with my little eye something that is greenish blue!"

"The water" Raven said dryly not finding the game the least bit amusing.

Garfield looked up at her in shock "Wow, how did you get that so fast?"

Raven gave Garfield a 'are-you-kidding-me' look "Well, lets think about this Gar" She proceeded to say in a 'matter-of-fact' voice "We are only on a ship in the middle of the Caribbean sea!" She said the last part in a not so friendly voice.

Garfield looked at Raven with wide eyes "Ok, I think I'm done with this game"

They both took a sigh of relief because the game was over.

Raven took advantage of the sweet silence there was on the ship that would only last for about, 5…4…3…2…

"So where exactly are we heading?" Garfield asked getting bored of the silence.

"Gar, when do we ever know where we are heading?" Raven asked with an arched brow.

"Well, you know considering we have a beyond-evil-pirate-mad man not to far away from us and no other crew mates in board, I kind of figured that you would have a plan this time" Garfield answered getting a little panicked.

As much as Raven hated to admit it, he had a point.

Raven looked around as if the answers to all her problems would pop out in front of her. "Ok Gar, go fetch the map for me."

Garfield jumped off the rail, happy that finally there would be something somewhat interesting to do. He ran into the small captain's quarters and pulled out a map from one of the drawers. When he came back, Raven was tying the ships wheel so the wind would not blow the ship into a different direction.

Raven rolled open the map and set it on the deck as she kneeled down to get a closer look. Garfield was peeing over her shoulder almost drooling with excitement.

"Do you mind? You're breathing in my ear." Raven said very annoyed. "Ok, so those islands over there should be the Cammen islands and we are most definitely not stopping there" Raven had bad experiences there, mostly having to do with men. "So that means that the next closest island would be…" Raven paused in shook as she read the map.

"What?" Garfield asked squinting his eyes to read the map.

Raven quickly moved her hand over the name of the island saying "Nothing, we aren't going there"

Garfield grabbed Raven's arm, trying to move it off the map so he could read it. The two fought and struggled with each other, till Garfield decided to use his secret weapon. He hacked a lougie and prepared to spit it on Raven's hand. Raven immediately removed her hand, disgusted, giving Garfield just enough time to read the map, before Raven put her hand back over the map.

"Hey!" Raven shouted with anger in her eyes, knowing that she had been outwitted by that halfwit.

"Ahhhh, Port Royal" Garfield said with a wink and a smug look on his face. "Your big man is over there isn't he."

"Shut up" Raven said drawing her sword and pointing it at Garfield. "He is not my man anymore…I mean …never was!"

"You know Rae," Garfield began, not too threatened by her sword. "All jokes put aside, it may not be a bad idea to head that way. I mean we do need a crew! No one else is going to help knowing what trouble lies ahead."

Raven looked at Garfield with an almost hurt look on her face. "They won't help us Gar. We're pirates, and they are respectable people. Dick is the Commodore's son, Victor is the best blacksmith in town and Kori…well I highly doubt that whatever she is doing has anything to do with piracy. Not only that, but it has been forever since we lat saw them. I doubt they'd even remember us."

"Raven, it hasn't even been 5 years. They wouldn't forget about us. They were our best friends. Just because we chose a different path in life, doesn't mean they would help us, especially if our lives depended on it." Garfield said comforting Raven. "Besides, what do we have to loose?"

Raven pondered the whole conversation over again in her head. 'I really wouldn't mind seeing Dick again' Raven thought. Raven had caught herself a few times before daydreaming about him. Each time she was determined not to let it happen again.

She looked up at Garfield with a half-smile and said in a dry voice, "Start heading north, we're heading to Port Royal."

Ok so chapter 3 is done. Next chapter will have Robin (Dick), Cyborg (Victor) and Starfire (Kori). There will be some action next too! Hope you all enjoyed, now go do what you do best and REVIEW!
