Hey ya'll. Here we are, the second chapter of G.U.A.P. Huzzah! Well I'm gunna skip my ramblings, otherwise we wont ever get to the story.
Disclaimer: Is this absolutely necessary. (looks at glaring lawyers ready with papers) I guess so. I do not own the Teen Titans, yet I own my squirrels, so back off the squirrels!
Raven woke up, the sun glaring at her through an open window. What? Since when did she leave the window open? Then she remembered. Beast Boy has asked to see her view after the second, and last, kiss. Raven pulled her head up from the couch, having fallen asleep around one A.M. last night. She stood up, stretching her arms towards the high ceilings. She treaded slowly over to the kitchen area and grabbed a note from the fridge. It read:
Dear Rae,
Thank you for letting me stay last night, and not blasting me through the roof. I'm sorry I left before you got up, but you looked so peaceful asleep and I got up pretty early. You know how animals get when they aren't fed, you lived with me and Cy a long time. I hope you can come by and see the life I made for myself after the Titans. It isn't as good as yours, but it has perks. Come see me anytime.
Sincerely,
BB
Raven smiled at the note, something she hadn't really done since she left the Titans. So many wonderful memories, but so many bad ones at the end. That last fight they had lost, was it with Control Freak, or maybe Overload, but it had been the straw that broke the camels back. They had all fought, even mild tempered Starfire, and ended up leaving, one by one.
Raven sighed and put the note on the black marble counter top, searching through one of the cupboards for some tea. She needed to meditate.
Starfire sat bolt upright, her long red hair sticking out in almost every direction. Starfire lay back down as she remembered where she was.
"Robin." she breathed softly, closing her eyes for a moment.
"Star?" the voice came from outside her door, softly in case she was still asleep.
"I am up and awake friend Robin." Starfire said, pushing the covers off. She stood up and went to the guest bathroom, gently brushing her hair to its normal position. Starfire went to the door and opened it, seeing her friend there in jeans and a dark blue t-shirt.
"If we stop back by your hotel, want to go out for the day?" Robin asked, smiling at his alien friend.
"Like an earth date?" Starfire asked, looking up, as the former Boy Wonder had a few inches on her.
"Yes."
Cyborg slammed the closed sign over the door to his garage. He wasn't gunna work today, he needed some time off, to think things through. Walking along the snowy streets of Jump City, he noticed all the happy people doing Christmas shopping, laughing at the annoying little elves that popped up in every window, the candy canes that danced across roofs. People had long ago stopped running up to him and asking for autographs. Now the only people who sought out Cyborg were credit card companies.
"Just a regular day, like all the others," Cyborg said softly, plodding through the slush and ice," and like all the others to come."
Raven shivered as she walked up the path to Jump City Zoo. She pulled the black jacket closer to her, hoping Beast Boy was in. A clump of snow fell from a nearby tree, hitting Raven's jeans.
"Great." Raven growled, brushing the snow off.
A whistling noise brought her attention back to her path, as a green man came around the corner, carrying a bale of hay.
"Hey Rae." Beast Boy called, setting the bale down on a bench.
"I know your closed today, but you said anytime."
"Yeah, and I meant anytime. Come on, you can help me feed the Preswalski's."
"The what?" Raven asked, following behind Beast Boy as he staggered around the next bend. Soon the answer was revealed, a beautiful green and white pasture opened up before them, only surrounded by a fence.
"There wild horses, look." Beast Boy smiled as a group of bay horses came towards him, all snuffling at the hay.
Raven went forwards, engaged by the animal that looked so tame, but was in a zoo. Soon there wild nature showed though. As soon as Raven leaned forwards, every animal jumped backwards, rolling there eyes and snorting out massive clouds of steam.
"They don't really trust me or anyone else yet, we just got them in." Beast Boy said, turning around to go back around the bend.
"You said you had perks, what are they?" Raven asked, keeping stride with the boy she had once towered over. Now she came about to his chin.
"I get to work with the animals."
Raven lightly punched Beast Boy as they entered a storage room.
"Seriously Rae, all my life I've been basically a freak. So working with my peers seems to fit." Raven looked startled.
"Peers? Beast Boy, they're animals."
"Ya, and so am I."
Starfire ran into her hotel room, throwing off her wet clothes. A huge truck had just splashed her and Robin with a giant spray of dirty slush, and she hated being wet.
She grabbed a new light green tunic the modeling company had sent to her about three weeks earlier and threw it on. A pair of dark blue Levi's worked well with it.
"Star? Ya ready?" Robin asked, stepping inside and shaking his mess of ebony locks.
"I am ready Robin." Starfire said happily grabbing a denim jacket and throwing it over the tunic.
Many stares accompanied the two as they set off down the street, towards the park.
"Have you learned of what happened to our friends?" Starfire asked, though she wasn't looking at Robin.
"I haven't really given it that much thought, why?"
"Because I see an old, as you call it, buddy."
Ack! I know this is like the shortest and most stupid chapter ever! But I was bored and I ah a lot of pop and then I had a sugar crash and now I'm all jumpy again and I can't think straight and my spelling is probably off and now I have to do something destructive to take my mind off things. I mean productive. And that means, I'm off to destroy Canada. That or rule it, I haven't decided which yet. And everyone give a big thanks to the inventor of caffeine, they helped me write this whole itty-bitty chapter and are making me so strange. Well stranger then usual. Again, sorry for the short post, I really have no idea where this is going, and it's just a side story. Next one will be better, I promise.
