This time I'm updating quick! Yay! Anyway, it's the weekend so I figured I would get another chapter in. Hope you enjoy! The title is a little lame though…
Chapter 9- Hour 3, Raptors of Fun
"Welcome to the Raptor. Please remember to keep arms, legs and all ligaments inside the car at all times. You will be traveling at high speeds so we do suggest you remove hats, glasses, and any other loose articles. Be safe and we hope you enjoy your ride."
"Oh, I am most eager to get moving!" Starfire told Robin, who was standing next to her. The man came and made sure that their safety harnesses were secured tightly. Robin merely enjoyed the fact that for the second consecutive time Starfire would be riding next to him and that it had been by her choice this time. Maybe there was hope after all.
"Here we go!" Beast Boy shouted from his spot behind Robin. He wore the most thrilled face of them all. It was almost as if nothing in the world could be better. Robin just chuckled to himself. He looked over at Cyborg and Raven, both of which looked ready for the action. Then they were pushed off. They had a heck of a time, going threw loops and up and down hills… They never wanted it to end. Cyborg did try to muffle a laugh but was very unsuccessful as Raven shrieked her head off going down all the big hills and especially when going upside down. Beast Boy just yelled 'Ya!' and 'Wooo hoooo hoooo!' the whole time. Robin and Starfire both laughed at their friends. But eventually the ride did have to come to a stop.
"Please remain seated until the car comes to a complete stop. The safety harnesses will be unlocked momentarily. When exiting please make sure to go the opposite way of which you entered. We hope you enjoyed your ride on the Raptor and hope you enjoy the rest of your day here at Cedar Pointe, America's Rockin' Roller Coast."
"That was most enjoyable! May we ride again?" Starfire asked, jumping up and down with excitement now that they were on the main walk again.
"Um… Starfire, the lines a little long…" Cyborg said, looking at the sign that now said '75 minute wait' on it in big letters.
"Ya… It was fun, but not that fun…" Raven stated blandly, herself once again. She folded her arms against her chest and looked to the others for what to do next.
"I'm sorta hungry…" Beast Boy said, looking guilty. He rubbed his stomach as it began to gurgle loudly.
"Ya, me too, ya'll. Let's get some chow!" Cyborg exclaimed happily, searching for the nearest food joint.
"Fine… If you guys are hungry I guess I could go for a little something…" Robin said, hoping the others wouldn't pick pizza again.
"How about that place over there… Dan's Diner?" Starfire asked, pointing to a building that resembled a 50's diner not to far from where they were standing.
"Okay, I'm alright with that, you guys?" Robin asked, thankful for anything but pizza.
"That's cool," Cyborg said, starting to make his way over there quickly as though he hadn't eaten in months. When the others showed no sign of objection, Robin followed.
When the Titan's entered, all the employees were doing a dance number.
"Oh, joy, you picked the perfect place Starfire," Raven looked over the place disapprovingly. When the dance ended, a young woman showed up to take them to their seats.
"Smoking or non?" she asked politely.
"What does it look like?" Beast Boy asked irritably. He just wanted to eat. Was that so much to ask?
"Fine then…" she said, leading the 5 teens to a corner table in the back. Starfire noticed right away that there was a small machine from which you could request a song.
"May I?" Starfire asked innocently. Robin handed her a quarter. She put it in and selected a random song.
"Hi, I'm Todd and I'll be your server today. What would you like to drink?" he asked. He took out a pen and paper.
"I'll take a Pepsi…" Cyborg answered nonchalantly.
"Water for me," Beast Boy replied.
"Ice tea…" Raven glanced back down at her menu, debating between getting a salad or a burger.
"Sprite, please!" Starfire exclaimed. She would have ordered mustard but Beast Boy had said that was very abnormal and since trying Sprite she figured it was the next best thing.
"I'll just take… Milk, thanks," Robin stated. He had settled on the steak and biscuit meal.
"Alrighty then… Are you ready to order or do you need a few more minutes?" he questioned, finishing off writing down all their drinks.
"I'm ready, how 'bout you guys?" Robin asked, looking up at his friends. They all nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll have the steak and biscuit meal…"
"How would you like your steak cooked?" the server asked.
"Medium rare, with a baked potato on the side," Robin replied, assuring he wouldn't be asked anymore questions.
"I'll have the salad with ranch dressing and hold the tomato…" Raven said quickly, passing her menu to the friendly plain waiter.
"I'll take the ribs, well done with lots of barbecue sauce, and noodles on the side. For my vegetable I'll take the carrots," Cyborg said licking his chops as he began to feel his mouth water.
"I want the vegetable plate with Italian dressing on top. No sides, thanks…" Beast Boy said disgustedly, thinking of what Cyborg and Robin were ordering.
"I will take a burger and French fries please..." Starfire replied making sure she was polite and smiling at the waiter as she handed him her menu.
"Okay, that'll be out in about 20 minutes or less…" the waiter said as he walked away towards the bar area.
"I can't believe you guys are already hungry again," Raven said rolling her eyes at the two seemingly starving boys.
"Ya… well guys gotta eat sometimes!" Cyborg said. "Heck, Beast Boy's still growing! He needs his nutrition!"
"Ya, that's ri- Hey!" Beat Boy looked at Cyborg disapprovingly. Cyborg just shrugged his shoulders innocently.
"You can't tell me you don't hope your still growing," Cyborg replied to Beast Boy's death glare.
"True," Beast Boy said, deciding to let that one slide, since, after all, Cyborg did have a very valid point. About 25 minutes later Todd brought them their food.
"This is delicious!" Cyborg exclaimed, tearing into the ribs like a starving wolf.
"Dude, that is so gross…" Beast Boy said, looking nauseously at Cyborg. When the Titan's finished their meal and paid the bill, a song started to play. It was a slow song and all the waiters/waitresses got with a partner and started to dance. Many of the couples in the diner started to get up and dance too.
"This song was requested by someone from the back corner table…" a voice called from behind the bar. "Here's 'Unbelievable' by Kact Brown!" the guy at the bar said enthusiastically. As the others looked at her Starfire began to turn deep read.
"A love song?" Raven asked. She just shook her head. "I'll be waiting outside…"
"Dude, this is almost as gross as Cyborg eating those ribs… I think I'm gonna hurl!" he shouted while dashing toward the men's room.
"Have fun you two…" Cyborg said smiling jokingly at Robin and walking out the door to join Raven.
"Um, perhaps we shall do the dancing now?" Starfire asked Robin shyly. She folded her hands behind her back and looked at the ground.
"Okay…" Robin said nervously. He watched as a small smile appeared on Starfire's face as Robin took her hand in his. They began swaying with the music. Before either one knew it they were twirling around the whole diner, and were the center of attention. Not realizing this, they continued to dance until the song had ended and Robin and Starfire performed the perfect dip. Everyone around them clapped and whistled loudly. Robin and Starfire both turned beet red. Beast Boy was standing on the outskirts of people, smirking with delight.
"You two didn't get to crazy now, did you?" Beast Boy remarked sarcastically.
"Let's get out of here…" Robin said, leading Starfire to the door by a hand. Beast Boy followed coolly after them, waving good-bye to the small crowd. He couldn't wait to tell Cyborg and Raven about this one…
Giggles I think that was my most fluff filled chapter to ever be written. Hope you enjoyed it R/S fans!
