Something new

Sometimes I need to be reminded…thank you teacher-Lord of the files

"Nervous?"

Starfire stopped staring out the window and looked over to her companion and smiled, "No I am not, but thank you for asking."

Beast boy shrugged and looked around. Something was not right.

"Anything wrong?"

"…Oh," Beast boy said startled for a second, "No, not really. Just seems kinda empty to me."

"Crew cabin get ready for departure."

Suddenly the crew of five did a last minute check of the cabin and then took their seats. After a few moments the plane took off and was in the air. The fasten seat belt sign went off a few minutes later. Immediately, Beast boy took off his seat belt and put his hands behind his head and slouched in his seat.

"Beast boy I believe that the seat-belt performers said to keep it on even after the light goes off," Starfire said.

Beast boy was about to say something when a crew member past by them then and smiled sweetly, "Yes we did. I believe that you should listen to your girlfriend."

"…eh?" Beast boy said stunned and then realized what she meant and said smiling nervously, "Oh you must be confused she isn't my girlfriend."

The flight attendant smiled knowingly and said, "Don't be shy, I believe you make a cute couple."

Beast boys' eye twitched and said straining the syllables, "She is not my girlfriend."

She just smiled saying before walking away, "Then why would you bring her…never mind."

Groaning, Beast boy looked over to Star. She was looking out the window, amazed at what was passing her by. He smiled at her; she had this small little smiled and her eyes glowed a little. Then she looked in the mirror and caught him. Quickly, Beast boy made it look like he was staring at something outside, but instead he caught her smiling at him. Thump, thump.

'Thump, thump?'

"Excuse me sir," a voice started, "Would you like a drink?"

Turning his head so fast he thought he had whiplash, Beast boy quickly ordered water and Starfire did the same. But, Beast boy thought envyingly, with a lot more suave then he had.

The flight attendant was about to leave when Beast boy asked, "Excuse me miss?"

She looked back smiling, "What is it?"

Beast boy looked around and looked behind him at the small empty plane, "Why is this plane so empty?"

A crack in the smile, but was quickly mended, and said, "I do not know sir."

Then she left.

"Well that was odd," Beast boy said turning to his traveling buddy.

Starfire was fast asleep, snoring a little. Beast boy smiled and looked out the window.

Beast boy carried the eight bags that Starfire brought while she covered his one lonely bag.

"What do you have in here? Bricks," Beast boy asked while he grudgingly moved the luggage to the front desk.

Starfire looked back at him confused, "No I did not…was I suppose to?"

Beast boy smiled forcefully, "No, no…this is enough."

Reaching the front desk, Beast boy dumped the luggage and walked up to the counter. The woman at the front desk looked surprised to see him.

"Hi, I made a reservation," Beast boy said.

"Just one moment please," She then started to type hurriedly on her computer and said, "Ah yes I see you."

Beast boy looked startled, "How? I didn't even say my name."

She smiled and took out some keys, "I am sorry but the room with two beds has flooded so we made an upgrade. You have been transferred to the honeymoon suite."

"You didn't answer my question."

She smiled again, handed him his keys and grabbed a bag, saying, "You were the only reservation."

Beast boy looked taken back, "What?"

She then left the front desk after turning everything off and left. Beast boy confused followed with Starfire behind him. The front desk girl made a bee line to the plane that had finished refueling and got on.

"Why was I the only reservation," Beast boy yelled.

"Don't you know," She yelled back, "Call the main office they'll tell you!"

Then a few stupefied moments later the plane left.

Beast boy shrugged and turned over to his traveling buddy, "Well that was weird."

But Starfire was looking past him at the sky. Confused, Beast boy turned to look behind him at what she was looking at. A huge black cloud was moving quickly to the island. Within minutes it was raining.

Beast boy blinked twice before looking up, 'Yup, still raining.'

"I do not understand wasn't this place suppose to be sunny?"

"Lets just get out of this rain first."

While Starfire changed, Beast boy looked up the number for the main office in thefront desk. Finding it he called the number.

"Hello, This is the Ohana Beach front office. Would you like to make a reservation?"

"No, I'm fine," Beast boy said staring.

"Would you mind holding," the front office clerk said interrupting.

"Yes," Beast boy said before he heard the muzak that accompanies being put on hold anyway.

Sighing, Beast boy looked around at the tropical décor of the room. Tapping his foot to the elevator music on the phone, he waited.

"Friend Beast boy!" Starfire yelled from the room.

Beast boy grew concerned for a second, and then yelled back, "What!"

"How long till this storm passes us?"

"I don't know, look outside and tell me how the rain is dropping."

There was a few seconds before Starfire yelled back, "What?"

Beast boy frustrated yelled, "Never mind, I'll do it myself!"

Beast boy took his ear off the receiver and glared at the phone, "Don't you dare take me off hold until I'm back."

Running to the window, Beast boy stared outside. It was a constant, steady, downpour. Beast boy sighed, and then ran back to the phone. Corny muzak rang in his ears, and he knew that no one took him off hold.

"I would guess in a couple of hours, Starfire…why do you ask?"

Starfire stepped out of the room in a bikini and crossed her arms across her chest. She blew a stray hair from her face and gave him a look.

Beast boy blinked for a few seconds then averted his eyes, "Didn't pack for rain?"

Starfire gave a curt nod before sighing, "Friend, if you wish I could take the transceiver while you change."

"I don't know Star," Beast boy said scratching his chin, "Do you think you can handle it?"

She looked taken back, "What ever do you mean?"

"The last time you talked on the phone with someone you asked them about their lives."

"But this is different," Starfire said throwing her hands in the air.

"Then you asked them about the origin of the product they were selling," Beast boy said, and then added before she could angry, "But you're right this is different. And I would like to get out of the drenched clothes."

"So may I," Starfire asked.

"Of course," Beast boy said smiling, "Never let anyone tell you what you can or can't do."

Starfire blinked once and then smiled, "Thank you…I will take that into heart."

Beast boy nodded and then motioned for her to take the phone. She took it and then sat on the desk waiting.

"I will not let you down," She said giving him thumbs up.

Beast boy smiled and then made his way to the room.
