Chapter 2- Persuading
"Well," Raven began, "you could still try and ask him." She said, shrugging her shoulders. Starfire nodded in agreement. Beast Boy and Cyborg high-fived. "We're on it!" They exclaimed.
Robin lay on his bed staring up at the ceiling. Why did love have to be so complicated? Why did he have to be a part of it? Why did Starfire have to be so god damned gorgeous! Robin sighed. He never was good at expressing his feelings. "Never was, and never will be," he thought. All of a sudden, he heard knocks on his door. He slowly walked up and opened it.
"Hey dude!" Beast Boy said cheerily. "Yo, man!" Cyborg said. "Robin," Beast Boy began, "looking good! Did you do something with your hair?" Cyborg chimed in, "Or get a new cape?" He asked. Robin looked at the both of them.
"What do you guys want?" He asked. Cyborg and Beast Boy's faces dropped. "A vacation," they said in unison. Robin stared at them questionably."Uh……no," he said. He was about to walk back in his room when Beast Boy stopped him. "But please? It'll be sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! Just think, you and Star, alone on a beach, holding hands! This could be our big romantic break!"
Robin began twitching, "What does Starfire have to do with a vacation?" He asked. Cyborg rolled his eyes. "Uh because you like her………duh." He said. "You're right," Robin said. Cyborg's eyes popped out. "You're admitting it?" He asked. "I like her as a friend," Robin replied.
Cyborg scoffed. "No, I mean, wanna lay with her in bed, you daydream about her, you want to slowly slide her skirt off, followed by her shirt….." PUNCH! Robin started rubbing his wrist. "Where'd you come up with a crazy idea like that?" Robin asked. "Well," Cyborg began, "because of all the little moments you have! Awkward silences, holding hands, holding her in your arms when she's afraid you know, that kind of stuff.
"That doesn't mean I wanna have sex with her!" Robin yelled back. "Whatever," Cyborg said, "and before you say anything about the city being under attack, Mas and Menos will totally take care of it!" Robin raised an eyebrow. "Why would they not wanna come?"
"Because," Beast Boy said, "they can travel at light speed, and besides, who'd wanna listen to them jabbering about in Spanish all day!" Cyborg nodded. "So, can we go?" They both asked. Robin looked at the both of them and sighed. "I dunno,"he said, "I mean, a vacation wouldn't hurt but…." Cyborg patted him on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Rob. Pleasure doing business with you," he said. Beast Boy smiled and walked away. Robin put his hand up. "But…..I didn't," Robin sighed. But then, a smile spread across his features as he placed his hands on his hips. "Who knows?" he thought, chuckling, "Maybe Star and I will be walking down the beach holding hands." And with that, he walked back in his room to begin packing.
Beast Boy and Cyborg walked into the main lobby. Big, goofy smiles spread across their faces. "I'm guessing he said yes," Raven said. "Yep!" Beast Boy replied. "So, what wondrous place on earth shall we be visiting?" Starfire asked. "Well," Cyborg said, as he lay a map out on the table, "we are taking a cross country trip! We're going wherever we want, whenever we want! All across the USA! And maybe a few other places like the Bahamas. SO, EVERYONE GET PACKING WHILE I CALL TITANS EAST!"
The titans all left the room. Cyborg picked up his communicator and contacted Aqualad. "Hello?" Aqualad's face popped up on the screen. "Hey man," Cyborg answered. "Cyborg?" Aqualad asked, he yawned, "How ya doin?"
"I'm doing great. But anyways, enough about me, our team is going on a vacation and we're wondering if you guys would like to accompany us."
"A vacation, huh?" Aqualad said, rubbing his chin. "WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING EARLIER? We'd love to come!" Cyborg heard a commotion in the background. Cyborg then remembered something. "Oh yeah, and Mas and Menos can't come"
"What? Why?" Aqualad asked. "Because they can travel from city to city at light speed and protect the cities from danger." Cyborg replied matter of factly. Aqualad agreed and Cyborg heard yelling in Spanish. "Okay, meet us here today or tomorrow," Cyborg said. "TODAY OR TOMORROW?" Aqualad exclaimed. "Well, we're not waiting a week," Cyborg said. And with that, he hung up.
Robin walked in the room. "What exactly are we using for transportation?" He asked. "I'm glad you asked," Cyborg replied. He immediately called the others into the room and went down to the garage. "What are we taking for transportation you ask? I give you, my latest invention in cutting edge technology, the one, the only…….T-V!"
"We're using a tv with wheels?" Raven asked. "No," Cyborg replied. "You know, instead of an R-V, we're using a T-V.Get it? T-Car? T-Sub? T-V?"
"Oh! I am understanding!" Starfire exclaimed. "Yeah," Raven said, "me too." Cyborg gave them a tour of his new vehicle. The only problem was their were only 4 beds. Robin went all googly eyed at this and Beast Boy smiled. He wrapped his arm around Raven's shoulder. "You wanna share a bed with me?" He asked. Raven growled. Beast Boy immediately blushed, and took his arm away. "Just kidding" he said. "You better be," Raven replied.
Cyborg elbowed Robin, "I figured you and Star wouldn't mind," he said. Starfire turned her head and blushed. Robin smirked, "I'm sure you wouldn't mind one with Bumblebee," he said. Cyborg turned cherry red.
"Shut up," he said.
