Chapter 21-The Grand Canyon

The road was a bit bumpy but so far, everyone seemed okay. Speedy then clutched his stomach. "Oh, I don't feel so good," he said. Raven looked up from her book. "We'll be there in a few minutes," she began, "just ignore it." Speedy didn't seem so pleased with the answer, but sat down anyway. Then, he walked over to the refrigerator and took out a fish taco. After taking a large bite of it, he happily chewed away. Raven looked at him like he was crazy. "You're to sick to cope with a car ride, yet you can still eat?" She asked. Speedy shrugged. "I'm never to sick to eat," he replied.

Aqualad and Terra then walked in with smiles on their faces. "And I got the dolphin to save the man from drowning," Aqualad said. Before Terra could say anything, Aqualad gasped and saw what Speedy was eating. His face turned green and he ran out of the room into the bathroom. He ran so fast that Terra's hair flew and got messed up. She quickly straightened it out. "Must you always eat fish tacos in front of Aqualad?" Terra asked. "You know how he gets." Speedy shrugged. "What can I say? It's my favorite!" Terra rolled her eyes and Speedy continued, "You're just mad because I ruined what could be a romantic moment between you and your boyfriend."

"I am not!" Terra said, though her cheeks turned a high red. "Then why are you blushing?" Speedy asked. Terra touched her cheek and realized it was warm. "No I'm not!" She exclaimed. Speedy rolled his eyes under his mask. Terra walked over to him and slapped him, leaving a giant red slap-mark on his cheek. "Ow!" Speedy exclaimed. Terra simply huffed away and walked out the door muttering something about a knife and Speedy's head.

Starfire had heard weird sounds coming out of the bathroom door. "Excuse me," she began, "who is in there? What is wrong?" The door opened and there was Aqualad, not looking so good. His hair was a bit frazzled and his face looked a pale green. "You do not look good at all," she said. Aqualad shrugged. "Oh, I'll get better in a minute or two, Starfire. Just as long as I stay away from Speedy." Starfire didn't seem quite sure, so Aqualad placed his hand on her shoulder. They smiled at each other and walked away. As soon as Aqualad left, Starfire heard a voice behind her.

"You know, you really shouldn't hit on other guys since you like Robin so much." Starfire turned around and saw Beast Boy. "I was not hitting on Aqualad, Beast Boy," Starfire said, "I was just making sure he was feeling okay." Beast Boy smiled. "Yeah, I know. I'm just the teasing type."

"Don't I know it?" Robin then came walking down the hall and Starfire smiled. "Morning dude," Beast Boy said to the leader. "Morning guys," Robin replied, "what's up?" He asked. "The ceiling," Beast Boy answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Robin and Starfire sheepishly smiled. Beast Boy roughly grabbed Robin's arm. "I need to talk to you," he said, "See you later, Star," he finished. Robin turned around and waved goodbye to his girlfriend. She waved back. Beast Boy and Robin were in a quiet hall. "Dude, so did you ask her out yet?" Robin had an anime sweat drop and he rubbed his hand behind his neck. "Well, uh," he began, "it's a little complicated."

"What's so complicated about it?" Beast Boy asked. "It's you and her. Do you want to be together or not?" Robin rubbed his neck a little more. "What do I do?" Robin thought, "I can't tell him that Star and I were making out!" It seemed like Robin's prayers were on his side though because then, the T.V stopped and they both heard Cyborg shout out, "We're here!" Robin gave out a sigh of relief and began walking away. "Nice talking to you, BB! Heh-heh!" He said and then ran off. Beast Boy rolled his eyes. "That was just dumb luck," he said.

Terra was the first one out the door and gasped. "It's so beautiful," she said. As the titans got out and looked around they all had to stare for a moment. For miles and miles, all you could see were beautiful red and orange canyons. The sun was also setting which made it an even prettier sight. Terra's eyes sparkled. "This is the place of my dreams," she said. Aqualad walked over to the edge of the cliff and looked down. He whistled. "That's a long way down," he said. A rock encased in a yellow light floated next to him and then was thrown down. The titans all listened but no one could hear it land. "Really long way down," Beast Boy said.

"This calls for my camera!" Cyborg exclaimed as he made his way back into the T.V. Starfire floated off the ground and flew to the edge of the cliff. Without warning, she flew down. "Starfire!" Robin shouted. He ran to the edge to get her, but Aqualad and Beast Boy held him back. "Dude, she'll be back in a minute! She's just taking a flight down there!" All of a sudden, Terra jumped on a rock and began floating on it. She went to the edge of the cliff and, like a skateboarder, began riding down the cliff. "Whoo-hoo!" She screamed.

"Wanna join them?" Beast Boy asked Aqualad. Aqualad shook his head. "There's no water here for me to control. I'd most likely fall to my death."

"Oh," Beast Boy said. At the bottom of the cliff, the two girls were having a race. Starfire flew leaving a trail of green light while Terra left a yellow light while flying on her rock. Starfire then stopped. Terra, wondering why, stopped as well. "What's wrong Starfire?" Terra asked. Starfire pointed down. "People are losing their way in that giant river!" Terra looked down and chuckled. "There white water rafting, Starfire." Terra said. "Those people are perfectly safe." Starfire then slowly began floating away. "Oh," she began, "well, in that case..." In a blur of green, Starfire flew away. "If you are snoozing, you are losing!" Starfire shouted. Terra looked shocked and then began flying again. "Cheater!" She yelled. Starfire simply just giggled.

Later on at night, Terra snuck out. She softly closed the door behind her and began walking over to the cliff. She gently sat down and looked over the edge. The bottom of the cliff was much more pretty at night. It was colors of a light purple. She sighed. Just then, she heard the door open behind her. Just the person she wanted. "What are you doing out here?" Aqualad asked, sitting down next to her. "Just getting a good look at it all," Terra replied. The wind rustled through both of their hair. Terra pushed hers behind her ear. "What are you doing?" She asked him. "Well, I realized you weren't in bed...wait, that didn't come out right." The two both chuckled. Aqualad continued, "You weren't in your bed, so, I was just wondering where you were." Terra sighed. "So, do you think I'm weird because I'm interested in the earth element so much?" she asked him. "No!" Aqualad exclaimed, "I'm just as into the water element! I think it's quite cool how you and I have powers over these elements," Aqualad finished.

Terra gave him a dazzling smile. "You and I do have quite a lot in common," she said. Aqualad smiled back at her. They both turned to look out over the cliff once more. "Yeah," Aqualad began, then he gently placed his hand on top of hers, "I think so, too."
