Honestly I'm kind of slowly loosing interest in writing this story. I know that I may be showing lack of dedication but I have to tell you as my fans the truth. I have totally been slacking off on writing this update but I still hope you like it. I will be sticking to this story till the very end because there are so very few chapters left but man this was hard to write. Look for the next update in the next couple of weeks… There are only 2 chaps and an epilog left! My first fic is almost complete!

Chapter 27- Freak-A-Leaks

"It's 8:00 at last!" Cyborg shouted merrily, jumping up and punching a fist in the air. "Boo- Yah!"

"Finally, some real fun…" Raven smirked evilly beneath the hood of her sweatshirt.

"So what are we gonna do first dudes and dudettes?" Beast Boy looked around at his friends, anxious to do something spookily awesome.

"How 'bout CarnEvil?" Robin asked, pointing at the entrance not to far away. There was a tall podium where a carnival master stood warning people what lay beyond that point.

"Do not touch our monsters and they will not touch you. We also do not recommend this event for small children…" she droned on.

"It looks safe... From the outside…" Starfire said shakily. "Let us go then…"

"Okay then, what are we still standing here for?" Cyborg asked, hurrying the Titans' along. As soon as they entered Starfire wished they hadn't. There were creeps in masks everywhere you looked and there were smoke machines scattered throughout as well. The thought that anything could jump out at her was terrifying. She grabbed onto Robin's shoulder as the group walked a little deeper into the mist.

"Dude this is awesome!" he called as he walked right into some smog. Out from it jumped a clown with an ax in his head and fake blood dripping down.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Beast Boy screamed and hid behind Raven's cloak. "Save me Raven, save me!" The Goth merely rolled her eyes at his actions.

"It's just a person in a mask… Big whoop…"

"A person in a scary mask that jumped out of nowhere…" Starfire mumbled to herself so no one could here.

One by one as the Titans' moved on another one disappeared without the others noticing. First Beast Boy stopped to look at some "dead clowns". Then Cyborg got stuck in a staring contest with a freaky circus monkey. Raven walked behind a tree to scare some kids not to long after that. Soon it was just Starfire and Robin walking threw the darkened area.

"Robin where has everyone gone!" Starfire asked frightfully as she realized her other friends were no where in sight.

"I don't know… They probably go lost or something…" he answered calmly, scanning the area. "You look really pale. Are you okay Starfire?"

"I… I am trying to remain calm…" she breathed in slowly.

"It's okay Star… They're fine… It's just an amusement park attraction. What's the worst that could happen?"

"Do not make me answer that," she strengthened her grip on his shoulders and moved a little closer to him from the mere feeling he made her feel safer. Robin was all too aware of her every move. Tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead and his heart rate jumped considerably. What was he going to do? It wasn't as if he could just tell her to back off.

"Don't be afraid Star. We can't be that far from the exit of this thing…" Robin reassured. He turned around sharply. "Do you think you're gonna wanna even do anymore of this stuff? Because if not I'll stay out with you."

Starfire backed up a bit, not wanting to be that close to him when they were face to face. She blushed a deep red before answering, "I really don't mind going through them as long as…" she couldn't find it in herself to ask what she was about to ask from him just yet. She took a deep relaxing breath. "As long as you hold my hand if that is not too much to ask…" she whispered softly, glancing toward the ground. Robin blushed but that wasn't going to stop him…

"Starfire that's fine… I'll hold your hand through all of it." He couldn't believe what he had just said. What would that tell her? Then again what had she just told him? But Starfire was the touchy feely sort to so that could just be because she considered him her best friend. But then why was she so red in the face? Was he blushing enough for her to notice? More and more questions!

"Really, you do not mind?" she looked up, a hopeful glint in her eyes as she stared deep into his mask, almost searching for his eyes.

"I really… Don't mind…" his voice cracked slightly mid sentence. Maybe there was hope for him after all. It was amazing the things he could do. He was Robin, boy wonder… But yet he couldn't tell the girl he loved that he loved her. Absolutely astounding… Starfire took Robin's hand firmly in her own. They both glanced at there interlocked hands for a few seconds, before they realized what they were doing. Starfire looked up, her face bright red, and smiled shyly at Robin. He returned the gesture and then they began to walk again.

"You know what Robin?" Starfire sighed as they walked along the cement.

"What?" he asked her curiously back.

"This has been the best time of my life… I mean, I have gotten to spend time with my friends, my family really… And I have experienced so many new things and feelings. It is astounding what I have discovered about myself. I have found a way to face silly childhood fears and get over them though I still may need a little work on that…" she giggled. Robin smiled at her. He felt the exact same way yet in so differently… "And I guess when we left I never expected this… I bought those shirts because I am deathly afraid of forgetting this trip. That would be the worse thing ever…"

"I'm glad you feel that way… I do too." He squeezed her hand a little out of instinct. Her smile widened at this gesture. Without knowing it they walked into a misty patch. A clown with a "thing" on its shoulder jumped out at them while they were lost in each others eyes…

"Ahhhhhhhhh !" they screamed in unison and ran out. When they reached the outskirts of the mist they began laughing crazily.

"That one really got me!" Robin exclaimed, bending over in laughter.

"You should have seen your face friend!" Starfire nearly doubled over laughing as well.

"My face, what about yours?" they both laughed harder.

"Having a good time?" Cyborg asked, arching an eyebrow at them. Beast Boy and Raven were standing behind him.

"Friends, I was quite worried about you!" Starfire flew over to them. Robin ignored Cyborg and followed suit.

"Yep, that was it wasn't it." Raven replied dully.

"Cause you looked oh so worried…" Beast Boy grinned and arched his eyebrows at Starfire.

"Well I was until Robin assured me that no harm had come to you and that you were probably merely lost!" Starfire told them all.

"Ya, we planned to wait for you guys when we got out…" Robin shrugged, trying to keep his cool. That wasn't easy after what his friends had just seen.

"Ya okay… I'm glad you two had some laughs… But we want to get out of here so we can go check out the Ghost Zone. It's supposed to be 3 xs scarier than this!"

"Nothing here can scare me… I just enjoy scarring everyone else…" Raven smirked. "I got some real good screams back there."

"Is anyone else scared for their life?" Beast Boy cowered away from the maniac that was Raven at the moment.

"Don't worry, I'm not a murderer… yet…" she teased with him to get his reaction. He ran and hid behind a tree.

"Man you know she's just playin… Come on guys; let's get out of here… The exit can't be too far from here." Cyborg began walking the opposite way of which they had entered.

OoOo

Now that the Titans' had finally made their way out of CarnEvil they could focus on getting to the Ghost Zone.

"So what were you guys laughing at back there?" Beast Boy questioned Starfire and Robin.

"Nothing of importance…" Starfire smiled radiantly.

"Exactly…" Robin sent her a knowing grin. They both laughed a little bit.

"Aw come on man I wanna know!" Beast Boy whined. It wouldn't work though…

"Beast Boy let them have their little inside joke… That way you can shut up…" Raven smacked him on the back of the head.

"Ouch! That hurt!" he yelled at her, rubbing his head.

"Yeah well you deserved it. You been asking them about that joke for the last 30 minutes and it got old a long time ago!" Cyborg told him, continuing on his way. "Look, we finally found it!" Cyborg pointed to a wooden sign that said "Ghost Zone" in painted white lettering.

"Took long enough…" Raven walked in. "Just meet me at the end of it… I want to scare some more people…"

"Alrighty then…" Cyborg nodded, a tad bit freaked by Ravens' creepy antics.

"Come on BB… Let's go aggravate the people in costumes!" Cyborg told him, waving him along.

"Ya, we wouldn't want to disturb the lovebirds!" Beast Boy laughed as he followed behind Cyborg. Robin turned a little red but Starfire didn't seem to notice. She grabbed hold of his hand as they walked in.

OoOo

They excited the Ghost Zone at about 9:30 and were waiting for the others to come out.

"That was not so bad Robin…" Starfire smiled. She leaned against his shoulder and yawned.

"Tired?" he asked her. "Let's sit down on the bench…" he led her over to the wooden bench on the side of the walk. She leaned on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

"I am very tired indeed… But I will be awake for the fireworks…" she yawned again as she spoke.

"Ya, their in about half an hour," he told her, beginning to get uncomfortable again. Starfire was and wasn't causing this. It was the fact that she was so close that made him shiver, not the fact that she was there. Did that even make sense? He could here her steady breathing. She must have fallen asleep… He yawned deeply. He could just close his eyes for a little while…

"You- who! Anyone alive in there?" a familiar voice entered his mind. Robin cringed a little, not wanting to open his eyes. "Come on, wake up!" the annoying changeling yelled in his ear. Remembering where he was, he shot up. Starfire groaned beside him, before slowly opening her eyes.

"I wonder how long you guys have been sleeping out here." Raven wondered out loud purposely. Both the teens blushed a crimson color.

"What time is it?" Robin rubbed his groggy eyes which were still slightly blurring his vision.

"Only 9:50…" Cyborg told him.

"The fireworks begin in 10 minutes!" Starfire exclaimed, now wide awake. "We must hurry to watch them!"

"Don't worry girl… We got the hook up. It's all been arranged… As part of our deal with Cedar Point we all get to ride on the Big Wheel and watch them from the very top. But we should head over there now…"

"That is marvelous!" Starfire smiled widely and stood up. "Is it not friends?"

"Oh it's grand…" Raven ranted in mock enthusiasm once again.

Tada! Yes! Just one more chapter and an epilog left! And I don't think it will take too long to get those put out either. I'm kind of in the spirit for this story again now… We'll have to see how that holds up since its 12:32 in the morning. LoL. Anyway I hope you enjoyed!
