Chapter 23- Day 2, The First Part of the Plan
"So… We're gonna get them to go on every ride together, then we're gonna make them walk through the Fright Zone and CarnEvil, and for a grand finale, fireworks on the Ferris wheel?" Beast Boy looked over at the two other schemers in this simple-y- wonderful plan to get the obviously made for each other soon to be couple together.
"Pretty much… But just make sure they can't think of any excuses to get out of it. And, since we're going to have to eat dinner, we're going to that one diner again…" Raven told him.
"I thought you hated that diner…"
"I do, but if it's for them I can deal with the singing and dancing waiters and pathetic food…" Raven told them. "Hopefully the people there will recognize them from yesterday. Don't tell Starfire or Robin though…"
"Got it." Then the ride came to a stop. Stepping off Beast Boy noticed Starfire pushing Robin slightly so she could get off first. Robin looked sadly at her. "That's not a good sign…"
"What?" Cyborg asked. Beast Boy pointed at the still fighting teammates.
"That ain't right…" Cyborg said, shaking his head and walking toward the exit.
"It's 4:02… Wow, time really flies, having fun or not…" Beast Boy looked at his watch in shock.
"We'll eat dinner after a couple more rides…" Raven told the boys just before they met up with Robin and Starfire, who were sitting facing opposite side on a bench. Surprisingly, Starfire didn't look mad when Robin wasn't looking at her, she looked down right devastated.
"Hey guys, wanna go ride the Himalaya or something?" Beast Boy asked them.
"Gemini's right there…" Raven put in.
"So is Wild Cat…" Cyborg chipped in.
There was silence as the two conflicting teens stood up. Starfire's cold expression returned.
"I will go on whatever you three please…" Starfire told them. Robin remained silent.
"Uhhh…" Cyborg turned toward Beast Boy and Raven and whispered something inaudible to them.
"Let's go on Gemini." They spoke in perfect unison.
"Very well…"
"I want to ride by myself…" Cyborg told them. "The cars are two small for me to go with anyone else…" he quickly made up an excuse, if it was a pitiful one.
"I'm going on with Raven!" Beast Boy told them, stepping up right beside her. Raven rolled her eyes, but did not make any sarcastic comments.
"But…" Robin started.
"That is acceptable." Starfire said, to everyone's surprise.
"But I thought…" Robin started again but again was interrupted.
"Why would I not want to go with my brotherly like friend?" Starfire asked him in a tone of mock innocence for all to see. Robin just looked down and mumbled something under his breath. Beast Boy coughed to break the silence.
"Um… Ya, we should head toward the ride." Cyborg told the group, making them all move. As they were getting on a man asked Starfire for an autograph, and boy was that a big mistake.
"NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed at the man. He ran away quickly and the ride launched off.
Going the first hill Starfire thought she was going to have a heart attack. She struck out in an instant at the second hill and grabbed Robin's hand. He jumped in surprise and turned to look at her. She didn't even notice she was doing it. He decided not to tell her. He now knew she had liked him, but after what he had said he was very afraid she could never like him again.
Starfire was very aware that Robin was looking at her, but she pretended she didn't know what she had just done. The truth was, she was not mad at him now, she couldn't be. Even if he didn't love her the way she did him, she could not stop loving him. She figured she was just teaching him a lesson, and if he did like her this was a way to make him tell. After all, Raven had been in his mind and she said that he did like her. Raven wouldn't lie.
OoOo
Beast Boy loved the fact that he had gotten to sit by Raven. Lately he was thinking there was a crush going on. He couldn't help it. She had that strange and magic type beauty that was so different from anyone he had ever seen before. Plus, she was smart and he had always known that she thought he was funny. She had said it when they first met. From that moment on she refused to laugh, but he knew she thought he was funny. Part of the reason he tried to make her laugh was just because he loved to hear it. Her laugh was so rare and beautiful… Then thoughts of crushes past would fill his mind and he'd wonder, what was he thinking? He didn't stand a chance with her and all the Titan's thought he still liked Terra, even though she was still in stone. Honestly, he didn't know who he liked. He was so confused over it.
Raven thought about how much more serious Beast Boy had become when his friends, namely Starfire and Robin, had needed him to be. She had never really seen that side of him, except when dealing with Terra and the End of the World. Both of which made Raven want to punch something just thinking about them. This was something to be taken seriously also, but in such a different way. Only 2 innocent lives were at stake. Then she began to wonder, in the very back of her head, did she like Beast Boy? She quickly shook the thought from her head as the ride came to a stop.
After a few more uneventful rides, Raven brought up dinner…
"I was thinking, we should go to that one diner for dinner…" she chose her words carefully, as not to make it obvious. She watched as Robin and Starfire both stop walking.
"Ya, dudes that was a really good vegetable plate…" Beast Boy added.
"The ribs were first rate!" Cyborg exclaimed, licking his chops and being totally honest.
"Plus, it's looking like it's going to rain soon and that's the closest place," Raven's answer was also quite true.
"Don't you want to try something else?" Robin asked them cringing when he remembered all the people that had watched him and Starfire dance.
"Yes, we could eat at that seafood place!" Starfire exclaimed, thinking she might be embarrassed if they went back in there. It was too late; the other three were already dashing off toward the diner.
"Um… Robin… I just…"
"Ya?" Robin asked with hope in his voice.
"I am sorry for acting so… foolish…" she finished. There was nothing more embarrassing than having to apologize for acting like that and Starfire thought there never would be again. She was wrong.
"You don't have to apologize Star… I should be apologizing for being so… So…"
"Yes?" Starfire's heart leaped. Had her plan actually worked?
"Well- because when we were on the beach I was going to tell you that I lo-" Robin was cut off by thunder and then rain. "If there's a god, he hates me…" (Fantastic 4) Robin mumbled under his breath. He grabbed Starfire's hand and they ran toward the diner.
Bum, Bum, Bum… How many more chapters do you think it will take? I know! HAHAHA! Anyways… the poll is done after this chapter so you'd better put your answer in now if you haven't yet!
IMPORTANT NOTICE (sort of)- I'm going to start an AIM chat session from 9:30- 10:00 PM EASTERN TIME on Saturday nights only. Part of the reason is because I have nothing better to do with my time, but part of it is because I have been receiving WAY too many emails from all you fans whom I love. Most of them are questions, some are just telling me to update, and more yet are review replies. I love receiving the emails, I really do. Still, I was thinking you could tell me anything that wasn't urgent on aim. If you don't have aim you may still email me. It's not a big deal. When you say hi make sure you state CLEARLY that you are from fanfiction. I don't want to block you because I think you're a physco. My aim is brwneyedbabi2011. Something else I might add is you are only to discuss matters about my story or fanfiction on this chat session.
Thank you
