The Titans' exited the diner at 6:03 and decided they still had a couple hours for rides before all the scary stuff would start. Though the rain was reduced to a slow drizzle and the clouds no longer looked too threatening, the air still held a bit of the storm through the humidness of the evening. It was almost as if you could drink the moistness from the air.

"What're you guys up for?" Robin asked the rest of his team, being much happier now then he had been an hour and a half ago, was ready to go on some more rides with none other than Kori, aka Starfire.

"Dude, I don't know about you, but I want to try that ride out over there…" Beast Boy pointed to a ride in the distance.

"Max-Air? You'll puke your brains out!" Cyborg pointed at the changeling.

"Nuh-uh! I will not!" Beast Boy kept walking but squinted his eyes and balled his fists.

"I'm not going on…" Raven told the rest of them, looking at Max-Air.

"Aw, come on Rae! It'll be fun!" Beast Boy begged her. She put the hood of her sweatshirt up.

"No." She walked quickly away, wishing she would have said yes.

'It's not too late to turn around.'

'You know you want to go back and hug and kiss the mess out of the guy so the least you could do is go on a stupid ride with him…'

'TURN BACK!' All of Raven's emotions shouted in unison. Raven grasped her head.

"Shut up…" she mumbled under her breath. Despite herself, she turned around to face the disheartened Beast Boy. "Beast Boy!" He looked up with a glint of hope in his eyes. "I'll go on the ride with you…" she sighed.

"YES!" Beast Boy blurted out. "Hehe… I mean, that's um… cool…" He gulped and smiled sheepishly at the dark teenage girl now standing directly in front of him. She just shook her head and turned around to continue walking.

Meanwhile our two nearly coupled teenagers were falling towards the back of the bunch in mellow conversation similar to the one they had had at dinner. Enjoying each other's company greatly they couldn't have noticed that their teammates were already at the ride.

"Yo! You two love birds, get you're butts over here!" Cyborg called, not being able to wait for the spinning doom of a ride.

"We're coming!" Robin yelled back, deciding not to retort to Cyborg's 'love birds' remark. He actually liked the idea.

"Dude, I'm SO sitting by Raven!" Beast Boy piped up as they boarded the ride. Robin sat on the end next to Starfire, who sat by Raven, who sat by BB, who sat by Cy. Since the ride could hold tons of people at one time, Robin and Cyborg were both seated by people they did not know at all.

"So… what exactly is it this ride does?" Starfire asked Robin curiously as a man pulled down her safety harness.

"Well… It lifts you up, the while you're spinning around in a circle it also swings you back and forth…" Robin told her as they lifted off the ground.

"That sounds most nauseating…" Starfire replied, putting one hand on her stomach and getting a worried glint in her eyes.

"Don't worry, it shouldn't be too bad. Plus, you've loved every other ride you thought would be bad…" Robin smiled at her and placed his hands on the bars of the harness. She smiled back and they began to swing.

OoOo

"That wasn't so bad now was it Raven?" Beast Boy asked the slightly smiling Goth as they walked out the exit of Max-Air.

"Actually… No it wasn't…" she smiled back at him, then realizing what she was doing, blushed and went back to her stormy faced self. Beast Boy glanced away, his grin widening. 'Beast Boy this must be your lucky day…' His thoughts were broke by Starfire's delightful giggling.

"Oh it was magnificent!" Starfire flew slightly off the ground and clasped her hands together with a jovial smile on her face.

"Glad you liked it Star."

"Okay guys… It's 6:30. We have about an hour and a half. What do ya'll wanna do with it?" Cyborg glanced at the clock on his arm.

"How about we ride the sky cars back to the other side of the park? From there we can do Dragster than we can do whatever until..."Raven started. She didn't finish because everyone knew what she was talking about.

"That is a marvelous idea friend Raven! Those are the sky cars are they not?" Starfire asked, pointing to a small box like object overhead, moving across a nearly invisible line.

"Ya, Star… Titans… Let's go…" Robin began walking toward the sky cars.

"Does he have to do everything like he's the leader?" Beast Boy asked the others. They all shrugged and scurried after him.

OoOo

"Oh the view is most wonderful! You can see so much!" Starfire looked out the window of her sky car, wide eyed and a smile on her face.

"This is SO boring!" Beast Boy grabbed his hair in his hands and pulled.

"Ya, this has got to be one of the slowest moving things I have ever ridden in! Don't these go any faster?" Cyborg asked, looking out his window impatiently.

"Just appreciate the view and relax for once…" Raven didn't take her eyes from the spectacular view of the park.

"Relax! We're on vacation! Who ever relaxes on vacation?" Beast Boy stood up, making the car shake a little.

"Everyone…" Raven pointed out. "Isn't that what vacation is for?"

"Well… If you're talking about old ladies sure… But we're young and handsome men and we need to stay active!" Beast Boy flexed his muscles. Raven rolled her eyes, but smiled despite herself.

"Did Raven just smile at one of your jokes?" Cyborg asked, causing Robin to finally turn around and pay attention to the conversation, along with Starfire.

"I… I was just…" Raven started to defend herself.

"She did! Ha, now all I have to do is get her to laugh!" Beast Boy burst, finally sitting back in his seat. Starfire started clapping happily for her friends and Cyborg's jaw was still dragging the floor.

"I thought I'd never see the day…" Robin smirked mischievously from Beast Boy to Raven. The empathic teen girl blushed unstoppably before pulling up her hood and looking out the window again. She knew there was nothing she could do now.

"We're almost at the end guys…" Robin told his team now that they were only like 4 feet away from the platform.

"Thank God… I thought we'd never reach this stupid end of the park. We could have gotten here faster by walking…" Cyborg snapped out of his shocked mode.

"Now we shall head toward the Dragster, yes?" Starfire asked her friends, stepping from their car.

"Yep… And that will be the best part of the trip!" Cyborg rubbed his hands together and stuck his tongue out the slightest bit.

"Dude that will be the best part of LIFE!" Beast Boy exclaimed, over exaggerating just a tad bit.

Yes… That would be the best part of the trip for 2 of the Titan's. But Robin knew that he had probably already had the best part of the trip. Boy… He couldn't have been more wrong.

And again I must apologize for the long period in which I did not update. Sorry, I just had too much to do. I mean, I wrote as often as I could. This story is almost finished. There are 3 or 4 more chapters and an epilog.

Another reason why this wasn't up as fast as it should have been is because I made the debut chapter of Not All Birds Have Wings. It is not becoming as successful as I had hoped. I only have 5 reviews for it… I really want it to live up to this one so maybe you could just go and check out the first chapter, pretty please?

Thanks!
