Chapter 8-Just A Long, Boring, Drive
"Are we there yet?"
"No."
Pause.
"How bout now?"
"No."
Pause.
"Are we there yet now?"
"WE'LL GET THERE WHEN I SAY WE'RE THERE! SO SHUT UP!" Cyborg hated to yell in front of everyone like that, but Beast Boy was getting on his nerves. Raven placed her hand on Beast Boy's shoulder. "You just have to put up with a few more hours," she said, "then we'll have some fun."
"Oh yeah," Terra said sarcastically, "going to a farm is real fun." Raven glared at her. "Shut up, Terra," she said. Terra flopped down on a chair and chugged down some coca-cola. "I am positive this Farm of Grants and this Arch of St. Louis will be most enjoyable!" Starfire exclaimed. "I heard rumors that the goats bite people's asses." Speedy said. Raven rolled her eyes. Beast Boy perked his ears up and placed his hands on his ass. "Dude! I don't want any goat biting my butt!"
"It's better then your fun place," Raven said. Beast Boy looked confused but then got her joke and covered his "fun place" Then, he ran to the bathroom. "Boys," Raven said. Terra took out a magazine. "Cyborg," she began, "this is boring. Can't we do something fun?" Cyborg scoffed. "What do you want me to do? Drive off the grand canyon?" Speedy perked up. "Would you really do that?" He asked him. Cyborg groaned and sunk in to his seat.
Bumblebee placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and they smiled at each other. Terra scoffed and layed back in her seat. "All this love is making me sick!" She exclaimed. Raven got in her meditation position. "Azerath Metrion Zinthos," she chanted, "Azerath Metrione Zinthoss"
"Is that all you ever do?" Terra asked. "I need to control my emotions," Raven replied. "Well," Terra began, "could you at least say something else then "Azerath Metrione Zinthoss"? It gets quite annoying." Raven smirked. "Okay," she said, then she began saying "Terra is stupid. Terra is stupid." Terra, by now, was up in flames. Aqualad restrained her. "Let me at her! Let me at her!" She shouted. Aqualad whispered something in her ear and Terra calmed down. "Fine!" She grumbled, "go ahead! I'm going to bed!" And with that, she stormed out of the room leaving Raven to chant again.
Robin paced in one of the rooms. "Okay," he began, "Starfire, I know this may come a bit of a shock to you, but uh, words cannot express how I feel for you. It just seems that you're not just Starfire you're...my Starfire. Are you confused?" He watched as "Starfire's" head fell off. Robin groaned. "Okay, making a dummy out of her and talking to it isn't going to help." He heard chuckling in the distance. Robin turned around to see Beast Boy grinning. Robin blushed.
"Uh, dude?" Beast Boy began, "I don't think that the lettuce is going to answer you. Besides, talking to inanimate objects is the first sign that you're going crazy!" Robin groaned in frustration. "It's none of your concern, Beast Boy." Robin said. "Well," Beast Boy began, "I could help." Robin turned to him, eyebrow quirked up. "You can?" He asked. Beast Boy nodded. "I happen to know the ladies," Beast Boy said. Robin rolled his eyes behind the mask. "But that's not the point!" Beast Boy began. "I'll begin to give you lessons, starting tomorrow at 10:00 AM sharp!" Robin protested, "But..." he began, he was interrupted by Beast Boy shouting "SHARP!"
Robin sighed. This was not going exactly how he had planned. He began picking up the pieces of the broken dummy. That was when Starfire walked into the room. "Anything I may help with?" She asked. Robin looked up into her goregous green eyes. "No, not really." He replied. "But this is such a big mess!" She protested. "Please, let me help." Robin said, "It's not your mess." But, Starfire being the persistent girl she was helped him clean up. And then there was the moment where her hand lay right on top of his. Both of them looked up at each other. Bright, sparkling green eyes, matched with masked ones.
"Why will he not open up to me?" Starfire thought, "Why does he wear that mask? What secrets could he possibly possess to keep hidden under his soul?" They both remained staring at each other until Bumblebee walked in. "Um...don't mean to interrupt anything, but whatcha doing?" She asked. Robin took his hand away from Starfire and stood up."We're cleaning my uh..." he looked over at the dummy of Starfire made from vegetables that still continued to fall apart, "vegetable buddy." He finished.
"Uh-huh," Bumblebee said, "vegetable buddy," she gave a wave gesture and walked out of the room. Starfire took the dummy's grape-tomato nose (the really small circle tomatoes) and ate it. She giggled as the tomato juice spilled into her mouth. Robin chuckled. "Starfire," he began. "Yes?" Starfire answered. "I wanted to talk with you about something," he continued. Starfire's head tilted to the side and she listened. "Well, you know what happened back on the TUNNEL OF LOVE?" He said while blushing, "well, what nearly happened." Starfire blushed too. "Um," she began, "now that you mention it, I'd rather you did not tell the others about it. At least...not right away."
"Right," Robin said, "my lips are sealed. Not a word to anybody." Starfire smiled. "About that, Robin," she began, "what did happen back there?" Before Robin could reply the T.V stopped suddenly and the two were sent flying across the room. When Starfire opened her eyes, Robin was lying on top of her. "Oh god!" Robin said, standing up. "Sorry about that." He smiled sheepishly and then ran out of the room. "What did you stop for Cyborg?" Robin asked. "Are we there?" Cyborg looked away. "Not exactly," he said. Beast Boy chimed in, "Whattaya mean "not exactly"?"
"I'm hungry, so here we are at McDonalds." Raven rolled her eyes. "Give me a yogurt parfait," she said. After every titan told Cyborg what they wanted Cyborg went in. Aqualad glared at Speedy. "Don't you think you're a little too old to het a Happy Meal?" Aqualad asked. "No!" Speedy replied, "because they're selling Neopets! And no one is to old for Neopets!" Aqualad rolled his eyes. "Geez," Terra began, "in high school, I used to beat up guys like that."
