Chapter 26-California Time!

The titans stared at the great hotel that lay before their eyes. "This is gonna be so sweet!" Beast Boy exclaimed jumping in the air. A few girls walked by and waved at them. Speedy grinned and started walking over to them but Cyborg grabbed him from behind. "Let's at least get checked in before you start acting like a pervert. Okay?" Speedy bent over and sighed. "But Cyborg," he began, "they're so hot!" Cyborg rolled his eyes. "Too bad," he dryly replied as the Titans walked into the hotel. A girl sat at the desk. A very attractive girl. Speedy's eyes bulged out as he began to look at her chest. "You sure as hell better be staring at my name tag, mister," she said. Speedy sat on the desk. "Not entirely," he said, "I couldn't help but notice your...chest area." His hand came towards her but the girl punched him and he was sent flying. "Don't mind him," Terra said, "he's just a little mental on the head. I promise you he won't be a burden any longer!"

The girl stared at them and then put on a smile. "If you say so," she said, "my name's Erika and I'll be happy to help you check in!"

Cyborg finished checking in and such and now, the Titans were riding up to their room in the elevator. "We better have a good room, Victor," Bumblebee said, smiling as she said it. Cyborg smiled at her. "We will, Karen. We will." Speedy was jumping around. "Can't this thing go any faster?" He asked. Robin rolled his eyes. "No," he said coldly, "it's made to go as fast as this. If all you care about is molesting girls and that you can't even think about anything else, like how lucky we are to actually be in California, then I don't even know why we're here." The elevator then stopped. Robin walked out first with the titans staring at him. "That was...harsh," Aqualad said. The titans then got out of the elevator. Starfire watched the floor as she walked. She grasped her turtle necklace. "Please let Robin be okay," she whispered.

The titans gasped as they walked into the room. It was so huge. The beds were practically king sized, it had big TVS, 4 different rooms, a kitchen with it's own oven, dishwasher and microwave, 4 showers, telephones, and an extremely nice view of California before there eyes. Starfire walked out onto the balcony. "Wow," she said. "Well," Bumblebee began, "let's get started. Our stuff isn't going to unpack itself, you know."

"Yeah, and maybe later we can go swimming and get something to eat here at the hotel!" Terra exclaimed. The titans all agreed and began unpacking.

TTTTTTT

"Come down soon, okay Star?" Terra asked as she walked down the hall. Starfire waved. "Don't worry, I shall!" She replied back. She watched as the rest of her friends were going to the pool. Except for Robin. The titans pleaded for him to go but he refused. Starfire walked over to him. "Robin," she began, "I know you refused before, but, you are certain you do not wish to go in the pool of swimming? It shall be very fun! We could splash each other with the water, and jump in like a ball of cannon, and..." She sighed. "I guess you do not want to though," she said, turning away, "well...I wish you happiness with...whatever you are doing." Robin looked at her. "I'm sorry," he said.

Starfire now looked at him. "Sorry?" She asked, "for what?" Robin stood up. "I'm acting like a real ass," he said. "No!" Starfire exclaimed, "you are merely mad or upset about something and you have the right to express that! There is nothing you should be sorry for! I should be the one apologizing for bothering you when you most likely wanted to be left alone!" Robin looked out the window. His eyes softened as he saw a little kid walking with their parents. He looked back at Starfire. "What are you still doing here?" He asked. Starfire looked confused. "Go! Get out of here and have fun with the others!" He commanded. Starfire's eyes began to well up. Robin's eyes widened. "No. Don't cry," he said. He softly put his arms around her. "I'm sorry," he said, "but right now you should be the one having fun instead of crying by listening to my complaints." Starfire shook her head. "I am...not going," she said, "I want to stay here. I wanna help you. I want to be with you."

Robin pulled her closer. "Well," he began, "what are we waiting for? Let's go to the pool." Starfire looked up at him. "What?" She asked. "I wanna make you happy," Robin began, "acting like an ass isn't going to do anything about it. So let's go. Okay?" A smile came across the girls feature. "Okay!" She exclaimed. She let him go get into his bathing suit. "What am I doing?" She thought, "Robin right now is the one who deserves being happy. Not me." Robin then walked out in his bathing suit. Starfire began to blush at the sight of him. Her eyes tried to stay focused on his face but would flicker down to his chest. Robin chuckled. He wondered what it would be like alone with Starfire on a beach...without the bathing suits. He held out his hand and she took it. They started walking down to the pool.

TTTTTT

Beast Boy swam around and around. Raven was reading a book. It was boring without her. An idea flashed across Beast Boy's mind. He went underwater but his head still floated above. He began swimming towards her.

(Cue 'Jaws' Music)

He was getting closer and closer to his prey. She seemed totally unsuspected. He was right next to the edge of the pool now. He ducked underneath. Raven looked up. She looked around at all her friends in the pool and shrugged. "And...BOOM!" Beast Boy shouted as he splashed her with a lot of water. Raven now sat there with water running all over her. She glared at Beast Boy who was insanely laughing. "I'm sorry Rae," he said, "but I couldn't help myself! Ha-ha! You should see the look on your face!" Before Raven said anything she looked up to see Robin and Starfire at the entrance of the pool holding hands. "We have arrived!" Starfire exclaimed waving to all of them.

The titans smiled. Then they began to resume their activities in the water. Starfire dragged Robin with her to the edge of the pool. "Okay," she began, "do you want to get in first?" She asked. Robin smiled at her. Starfire tilted her head. Robin then swooped her up into his arms and jumped into the pool. There was a big splash. The two of them came out laughing. Raven sighed as she was now covered in more water. As she sat down though, she smiled. Robin was happy. And she knew only Starfire had the power to make that happen.

She then smiled at Beast Boy. Beast Boy looked confused but smiled back. The first day in California was going smoothly. The plan for tomorrow was do whatever but have fun!
