Chapter 27-Do Whatever But Have Fun!
Starfire was the first one up the next morning. She yawned and quietly got out of bed. She stared down at Robin who looked so peaceful and content in his sleep. She smiled. Very softly, she slid the door open and stepped out onto the balcony. The sun was just beginning to rise and it made her feel so excited, standing there, watching it peek over the horizon and fill the world with light. On her planet, she had never seen the sun. All she saw was a moon rise, and moon set. Her planet was to far away to observe the sun. California was very pretty. Everything seemed to shine gold and she knew that her friends, as well as herself were going to have a wonderful time! She quickly ran inside and got into some shorts and a white t-shirt. Very slowly, she went off the balcony and onto the ground below. Only a few people were out at this time of morning. She said hello to whoever she could while walking. She didn't exactly know where she was going, but she really just wanted to observe. "Oh, my friends will be worried if I do not leave soon," she told herself. So, she quickly began running back to the hotel. She didn't want any people to see her flying. When she got back, she looked all around making sure no one was watching before flying back up onto the balcony. Now all she had to was wait until her friends got up...
TTTTTTT
The titans all sat in one of the hotel's restaurant eating breakfast. Starfire was glad that none of them had noticed she had left that morning. She nibbled a tiny piece of her toast. "I tell ya," Speedy began, "I am going to knock these girls off their feet! It'll be so easy!"
"I think they're going to be the ones knocking you off your feet, being the pervert you are," Aqualad said. Speedy stood up on the table. "Shut up, you bastard!" He shouted. "Here we go, getting kicked out of another restaurant," Robin said. A waitress walked over, slapped Speedy for saying such language in a family-friendly place, and kicked him out. She smiled at the rest of the titans. "Sorry for doing that," she said, "I understand he was your friend and all, but I can't allow that kind of stuff in here," she finished. "It's alright miss," Cyborg said, "I'm sorry for the trouble he caused you. He may be our friend but...we're not very close."
"I think it's a good thing you kicked him out," Raven said, "he deserved it." The waitress smiled. "Well, thank you for acting so nice about it," she said, "if you need anything, I'll be happy to help you...my name is Rose. Rose Wilson." Robin lowered his eyes. That name...sounded like he had heard it before. She looked like a person he may have met but...he couldn't quite place a finger on it. "Is everything okay...Robin?" She asked. Robin nodded. "Everything's fine, Kori. Anyways, Ms. Rose, I'm sure it will be a pleasure being your friends." Rose blushed. "Thank you," she said, "anyways, I need to get back to work! See ya around!" She said. She waved and then ran off. "I like her!" Terra exclaimed, "I hope she has a break soon so maybe we can go shopping or something!"
"Yes," Bumblebee said, "that would be so great! It's every girl's dream to go shopping in California!" Cyborg chuckled, "You do that," he said, "I'm gonna look around this place, find the great tourists attractions and stuff." Aqualad stood. "I guess I'll go with you Cy," he said. Beast Boy put his arm around Raven's shoulder. "I'll go where she goes!" He exclaimed.
Raven smiled. "That's fine with me," she said. Robin looked at Starfire. "I don't think Kori would mind if we hang out...would you Kor?" He asked her. Starfire shook her head. "Nope! Not at all!" She exclaimed. "I wonder where Roy went, though," Bumblebee said. Terra shrugged, "Ah, we'll run in with him soon enough," she said. Terra waved goodbye to Aqualad and she and Bumblebee began walking out of the hotel. "Of course she only says goodbye to you," Cyborg said with a smirk. Aqualad just smiled at him. "I don't know," he began, "but I think Terra and I are really starting to build a connection!" He finished. "Looks like you've finally got yourself a girl, mate!" Beast Boy exclaimed. He took Raven's hand and they began to walk out. Cyborg and Aqualad followed. "Well," Robin said standing up, "let's go. Any particular place you feel like going to?"
"Well, I have never even heard of this place, let alone know where I want to go," Starfire said. Robin smiled and grabbed her hand from her side into his own. "Well, come on!" He said, "let's go!" He suspiciously looked at Rose Wilson one more time before walking out the hotel doors.
TTTTTT
Beast Boy silently drank from his coffee. The pair had decided to go to Starbucks and get something before wandering around. "This place doesn't have much to offer if you ask me," Raven said. Beast Boy shrugged. "I think it's awesome!" He exclaimed, "wanna go watch the fountain show?" He asked. "Fountain...show?" Raven asked. Beast Boy nodded. "Yeah! It's right next to the 'Hard Rock café!' There's a bunch of fountains and they just put on a little show to the public!" He concluded. Raven shrugged. "I don't know," she began, "watching water 'dance' or what not, really isn't my thing," she finished. A spark came into Beast Boy's eyes. "Well then," he began, "maybe we could dance with the water!"
"Dance! I sure as hell am not going to dance in front of a bunch of freakin' people!" Raven shouted. Beast Boy's ears fell. "It was only a suggestion," he said. Raven sighed. "Look," she began, "I may not want to dance in the water, but...a nice boat ride does seem...nice," she finished. Beast Boy's gigantic smile came back. "Yay!" He exclaimed as he grasped her hand and began running off to the docks.
TTTTTT
"All right, see you guys later!" Rose said. It was finally her break time. She hung her apron on the wall, grabbed her purse and walked out the door. "It's such a beautiful day," she said. She then noticed an orange head near the hotel and blinked. Obviously, the guy noticed her too for he was walking over. When he finally reached her, Rose finally knew who it was. "Hey!" She began, "you're that creep who was using bad language in the restaurant! What do you want?" She said crossing her arms. "I just...wanted to apologize," Speedy said, "using language like that in the presence of a beautiful young woman is no way to act," he finished. Rose's eyes widened. This guy was supposed to be a pervert? He seemed pretty nice. "Oh," she began, "thank you. No one's actually told me that before...my name is Rose, by the way!" She said shaking his hand. "Roy," Speedy began, "Roy Harper. And I simply cannot believe no one has ever called you beautiful! You certainly are though," he said, "and that's a lot coming from me."
Speedy looked at her. She had long, flowing blonde hair a little lower then her waist, beautiful blue eyes that sparkled with the sun, and an adorable smile to match. "You're really a sweet guy," Rose began, "I don't know why your friends don't really like you," she said. Speedy got an anime sweatdrop rolling down the side of his head. "Well, let's just say sometimes when I'm surrounded by women, I'll go a little overboard," he said, "but nothing to worry about. Perhaps you'll think about joining me for dinner tonight?" He asked. Rose blushed. "I'd love too," she said. The two of them smiled at each other. "In any case," Rose began, "I really should be going, I have some errands to run before my break is over. Bye!" And then, she ran off. Speedy smiled. "YES!" he shouted. He happily skipped back up to their hotel room to get his outfit prepared. He knocked something off the desk and went to pick it up. He stared at the object for a while. "Why did she bring this?" He asked himself.
For it was one of Raven's spellbooks.
