Meet The Parents
Chapter 3: "Welcome to the Roth Manor Mr. Logon."
-:-:-:-
'Attention all passengers we have landed. Welcome to Okeechobee, Florida.' The flight attendants voice spoke through the speakers.
"Wohoo, we're finally here!" Garfield said unbuckling his seat belt as his eyes scouted outside the window. Garfield then stood up and opened the top cupboard to retrieve his bag. As doing so he noticed the mysterious person clad in the long trench coat pass by. Garfield merely shrugged off the strange feeling he was getting from him and walked to the exit alongside Raven. Upon taking his first step put of the plane he took a minute to observe his surrounding.
Garfield whistled as he looked around. The pleasant breeze kissed his face, azure sky, brilliant sun and several palm trees he noticed around. "Sweeeeet." He said stepping down the stairs off the plane. As Raven walked towards the airport Garfield followed behind spinning and turning around to catch a view of every sight. Upon entering Garfield firstly how many people had their eyes on him and Raven.
"Raven, hey!" a random person waved towards Raven as she waved.
"Hey Raven!" a man who seemed to be working at the airport waved to her as well
"Raven, good to have you back." A woman near at the bar smiled up to Raven. Garfield watched as several other people greeted Raven.
"Wow you seem to be quite known around here." Garfield said as he joined Raven's side.
"Well um…yeah." She hesitantly said before heading towards picking up their bags.
The stood in front of the luggage belt waiting for their bags to appear. Raven already got a hold of her bag while Garfield still waited for his. Soon his duffel bag appeared and he reached out and grabbed it. He placed the strap over his shoulder and realized how it seemed a little heavier. The couple walked away not noticing the same mysterious person walking in the opposite direction holding a similar bag Garfield's.
"So we grabbing a taxi or is someone gonna pick us up?" Garfield asked placing his arm around Raven's shoulder.
"Raven!" both their attention went up to a man heading their way.
"Eddy!" Raven called back as she ran up to him. Garfield watched with slight jealousy as the large man wrapped his arms around Raven in a bear hug picking her up slightly in the air. Garfield took in the man appearance. He was very tall, bulking muscles, red skin, gruff looking face and balding head. Garfield slowly made his way up to the pair and listened in two their conversation.
"The whole family missed you so much!" the man whom Garfield assumed as Eddy placed Raven down and looked at her from head to toe. "Wow, you actually grew."
"And you haven't changed a bit." Raven smirked whacking Eddy's arm. Garfield then took the moment and cleared his throat in order to get the two's attention. "Oh Gar I want you to meet Eddy and Eddy this is my boyfriend Garfield Logon." Raven smiled introducing the two.
"Hey there." Garfield said he shook Eddy's large hand. Raven noticed the still curious face Garfield held.
"Um yes Eddy is my um…" Raven hesitated as she looked up at Eddy. "…butler." She answered smiling.
"Butler?" Garfield asked.
"Butler?" Eddy asked looking down at Raven.
"Yes my butler." Raven said through her clenched teeth as she nudged Eddy in the side.
"Uh yes I'm the Roth family butler." Eddy immediately said standing up straight and offering a smile.
"Oh." Garfield said.
"Yes and Raven here has told me much about you." Eddy said.
"Oh really." Garfield said giving a toothy grin while Raven blushed and looked away. "What did she say about moi?
"Um that you're cute, you're green and your name is Garfield." Eddy counted the points on his fingers. "Yeah that's it." Garfield merely gave Raven an unbelieving look. "And basically she's always talking about you when we talk on the phone."
"Oh…well that's good." Garfield smiled before dropping his bags into Eddy's arms. Eddy grunted under the weight of his bags while Garfield merely walked on forward.
"Do I have to hold his bags?" Eddy whispered to Raven.
"You always have to hold the bags." Raven said as she handed her bags to him as well. She ran up to Garfield and laced her arm around his. The little group walked on out of the airport and outside was greeted by the striking city. Beast Boy let his eyes trail around the beautiful looking city and looked over at Raven who seemed just as thrilled to return to her hometown.
"Excited huh?" Garfield asked Raven.
"Yeah, it's been ages since I've last been here." Raven said as she hugged Garfield's arm.
"So where's our ride?" Garfield asked. Right on the cue a limo drove up in front of them.
"Right here." Eddy said as he walked past the couple. Garfield eyes grew wide while the corner of his mouth twitched as he laid his eyes upon the grand car in front of them.
'Oh dear…' Raven thought noticing Garfield reaction.
"Miss Raven, welcome home!" a man whom came out of the driver said. Raven walked up to the man and hugged him while Garfield continued to gawk as he walked up closer to the limousine.
"Garfield this is Steve, he's our driver." Raven introduced him as Garfield finally came out of his momentary shock.
"Oh hi." Garfield said shaking Steve hands. Steve was good looking man, long hair black reaching below his shoulders with small strands lying over his forehead, clad in a suit and wore a pair of sunglasses.
"Good to finally meet you." Steve said as he shook Garfield's hand.
"Alright, let's get moving." Eddy said as he placed away their bags and opened the back seat door for Raven.
"In this?" Garfield asked pointing at the limo.
"Yes." Both Eddy and Steve spoke in unison.
"You're joking?" Garfield asked.
"No." both Steve and Eddy said.
"Dude! You have a limo?" Garfield asked looking up at Raven.
"Um well…" Raven stuttered as Garfield jumped on into the limo. She then glared up at Eddy and Steve whom flinched under her gaze.
"What did we do?" Eddy asked.
"I told you to get a regular car!" Raven snapped at the two.
"This is one of our regular cars." Steve said pointing to the limo. Raven groaned as she seated herself into the limo where Garfield was trying out the many buttons and gadgets.
-:-:-:-
"This is so awesome!" Garfield exclaimed as a glass of vine was automatically poured for him. He looked over at Raven who was nervously biting her nails.
"Hey you ok?" he asked his face growing to one of concerned.
"Huh?" she asked looking over at Garfield. "Oh yeah I'm fine just nervous I guess." She said rubbing her arms
"Hey chill babe, I'm just as nervous as you." Garfield as he placed his arm around Raven's shoulder pulling her into a small hug. "So how is it you actually have limo?"
"Well let's just say my father is a very successful business man." Raven said looking out of the window. Garfield made an impressed face as he continued to play around in the limo.
"So that's the guy huh?" Steve asked looking into the rear view mirror.
"Yep, seem like an okay guy. Mrs. Roth will obviously like him." Eddy said looking back at the couple.
"Yes. The boss though…well taking a look at this jolly good fellow, we all know what his reaction is going to be." Steve snickered as did Eddy.
-:-:-:-
While Garfield was swaying his head to the music he recently turned on, Raven began to become more and more anxious as they came closer to her house.
"We're almost there." Eddy said. Raven sunk deeper into her seat while Garfield mentally prepared himself.
'Ok dude, stay cool. Relax, breath, everything is gonna be perfect.'
Looking over to Raven who could assume she had completely bitten off her nails and was now starting on her fingers.
'She seemed pretty anxious back on the plane, wonder why she's getting so nervous all the sudden. Raven was never the type to be nervous at any situation, always cool, calm and collected.' Finally the car came to a halt. Garfield looked forward to see both Steve and Eddy get out of the car.
"Well we're here." Raven said as smile spread across her face. Garfield couldn't clearly see out of the window since they were darkened. Eddy then opened the door for Raven.
"Welcome back home Raven." He said as Raven stepped out of the limo followed behind by Garfield, the anxiety within him burning like fire. But before he could step out of the limo Eddy had slam the door on his face.
"Ack!" Garfield screamed inside the limo.
"Eddy!" Raven scolded Eddy.
"Oops, sorry!" Eddy apologized as he reopened the door to see Garfield rubbing his sore nose.
"Sorry Gar, Eddy's a little clumsy." Raven said as she helped Garfield out while glaring up at Eddy. Eddy grumbled something incomprehensible as he closed the door after Garfield stepped out. Once getting rid of the soreness Garfield looked up in front of him and believed that impact of the door on his face was so severe that he was beginning to see things.
"Welcome to the Roth manor Mr. Logon." Steve said as he walked forth to the house carrying the bags.
'Holy sh…'
Garfield feasted his eyes upon the grand house in front of him. It was a large beautiful white house, it seemed about 3 or 4 or maybe more stories tall, a massive garden lay in front with a path leading to the front door. For all Garfield knew, the president could be living here! The gate to enter into the territory was a large, black, spiked at the top, and had a golden plate in the middle with an 'R' placed on it. He noticed two cameras at the top corner. The gate had automatically opened allowing them in. While Eddy and Steve walked on in Raven stood beside Garfield who had his eyes wide as tea cups and his mouth wide open with slight drool dripping on the floor.
"Um Gar?" Raven called tapping Garfield on his shoulder.
"Dude…" Garfield spoke. "You're not the president's daughter are you?"
"Not even close." Raven said as she pulled Garfield in. His face remained the same as he took his first into the residence. The gate closed on it own with a 'clang' causing Garfield to spin around startled. "Gar it's okay." Raven ushered him.
"Raven is this seriously your house!" Garfield exclaimed.
"Um yep it is." Raven said looking up at her home to which she hasn't seen years.
"Dude! Are you like a millionaire! You're obviously filthy rich. How come you never told me and the guys?" Garfield asked his head tilting back as he looked up at the grand building.
"Well I never really thought of it as something to tell." Raven said as she walked on forward beside Garfield.
"Are you kidding? This is…"
BARK BARK
"WAHHH!" Garfield screamed as a fierce looking Doberman came rampaging towards them. It ran probably as fast as a cheetah with its tongue sticking out of its mouth and drool dripping into the air. Garfield ran up to Eddy and jumped into his arm. "Run Raven! It's a mad dog!" he warned her and buried his head over Eddy's shoulder. The only response he received from her was laughter and a bark of a happy dog. Slowly twisting his head around he saw Raven crouched down in front of the dog which had its paw on her shoulders and was licking her face.
"Um Raven?"
"Gar it's okay. He's our dog." Raven told him as she ruffled the Dobermans head as it wagged its tail happily.
"…oh." Garfield said as got off Eddy who was giving him a dirty look.
"Gar this is Devil." Raven said standing up and slowly ushered the Doberman, Devil, closer to Garfield.
"Um hey there Devil." Garfield said cautiously stepping closer to Devil. In return Devil barked ferociously at Garfield as he flinched back. "Quite the devilish pup eh?" Garfield said keeping his distance from Devil as a sweat drop slid down his forehead. "You never told me you had a dog?"
"We also have a cat." Steve said.
"Uh huh?" Garfield asked.
"And a parrot." Eddy said.
"And an eagle." Steve said.
"And another dog." Eddy said.
"Whoa…" Garfield said quite shocked. "Next thing I know you guys also have a snake." Garfield chuckled.
"Yes we have a snake too." Eddy said.
"What!" Garfield jumped. "A snake! What is it that you guys don't have?" Garfield asked his voice rising as he felt the tension return to him.
"Gar come on it doesn't matter." Raven said as she pulled Garfield by the arm but he stepped back.
"Dude seriously! You guys are like some top class people and…and…look at me! Your parents are definitely gonna think I'm some juvenile delinquent! I knew I should've worn a suit!" Garfield said beginning to become hysterical.
"Garfield calm down." Raven said grabbing Garfield by his arms. "Just relax, they're not like that okay."
"At least one of them isn't." Eddy whispered to Steve.
"Ok but I mean seriously…just looking at your house I can tell you're family must be like those sophisticated classy top notch people and when you take a look at me I'm like some punk!" Garfield cried.
"Take it easy, it may seem like it but my family is not like that. And you're no punk ok? Now come on." Raven said easing Garfield down.
Garfield let out a deep breath. "Ok, I'm fine. I'm absolutely…"
"Jump on everybody." Steve said as he drove up in front of the two in a cart. Yet again, Garfield's eyes grew wide as he looked at the small car.
"Dude! You even have one those dinky cars like things to drive you up to your house!" Garfield shouted pointing at the cart.
"Now that's no big deal Gar." Raven said as she sat in the back seat of the cart.
"Having a dinky and a limo is a big deal compared to even Victor's high tech car." Garfield said as he sat down next to Raven.
"This is not a dinky car by the way and we have 3 limousines." Steve said looking into the rear view mirror.
"What!" Garfield yelled.
"And a Chevrolet." Eddy said.
"And a Ferrari." Steve said.
"And a BMW." Eddy said.
"Aie ye ye…" Garfield groaned before he probably fainted into Raven's lap. Both Steve and Eddy looked back at Garfield and gave Raven an innocent look.
"You two just need to SHUT UP!" Raven snapped at the two.
"Sorry." The both said before looking back forward and they drove off to the Roth mansion.
-:-:-:-
Once reaching the house everyone stepped out of the cart except for Steve who drove off with it. Garfield cautiously stepped closer to the house. It had two great pillars at the top of the steps leading to the porch in front of the door. Garfield looked to his right and left to check out the width of the whole house. It was possibly the width of 3 to 4 houses combined. There's as well as the length he'll have to calculate later.
Garfield ran up the few steps and joined Raven by the door. Raven looked up at Garfield and noted his sweaty face and heavy breathing.
"Gar, just relax." Raven said rubbing his arm offering him a sweet smile. Garfield gulped as Eddy opened up the door for the two to enter. The were firstly greeted into a plain room, shimmering floor tiles, several plants placed by the walls, two doorways on the side walls and a slide door in front, it was like a lobby once could say.
'Okay…so far so good.' Garfield said as walk down the few steps firmly holding Raven's hand. He then jumped as one of the door to the side opened up revealing a short Spanish woman with curly brown hair and was about in her 40s. Garfield instantly assumed her as the maid judging by her attire which consisted of a black dress and an apron over it.
"Hogar agradable Raven!" The woman spoke in what was assumed as Spanish as she went up to Raven and hugged her.
"Hola Estelle, le falté!" Raven spoke in Spanish slightly crouching down to hug the short woman.
'What the? Since when did Raven speak Spanish? She never even took Spanish classes back in high school!' Garfield utterly shocked yet again thought as he watched Raven talk to the woman in Spanish. 'Alright I was expecting a normal every day like family for Raven but seriously there's never been any other day where I have been shocked this number of times! Now I'm just getting worried whether I'll get accepted by her parents at all. The gal's family are totally rich slobs and the guy is a complete bum. This was only supposed to happen in the movies! And I was entirely convinced that this is not a movie!'
"Estelle this is Garfield and Garfield this is Estelle the maid." Raven introduced the two.
"Uh hi I'm-OOF!" before Garfield could such much more before he found himself in a bone crushing hug and lifted off his feet.
"Senor Logon!" Estelle the main said before dropping Garfield back on his feet. She then cupped his face and placed a kiss on both his cheek. "Recepicón a la familia!"
"Uh…Yeah." Garfield simply said unsure what to really say.
"Raven!" a voice called from a distant. At hearing the voice Garfield noticed the huge smile splattered on her face and the sparkle in her eyes. A look even Garfield could barely get out from her.
"Come on it's my mother!" Raven said as she dragged Garfield away from the Estelle and rushed up to the front door.
"Así pues, él es el?" Estelle asked Eddy.
"Yep he's the one." Eddy said crossing his arms.
"El jefe no va como a esto. Él va va loco…" Estelle walked away continuing to grumble on the boss's reaction. Garfield watched as Raven opened the slide door and rush in while he slacked behind.
'I'm a dead man.'

First of all sorry for the lateness. Bunch of things had been going plus I had finally got my hands on Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children and I couldn't get my eyes off it! And I was facing some internet connectivity problems Xx
Anyhoo, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. The way you should imagine Eddy is like a demon like Trigon. But he's not exactly the rough, brute, scary demon like; he's basically the comedic and clumsy type. You'll catch lots more of him in the chapters to come.
All will be revealed soon, all you gotta do is press the little button down there that says 'Go' and review also, got time on your hand? Check out my other TT fic called 'Rise Of War' another BBxRae fic of mine.
