Chapter 3: Redding RV Park Pt 2
Sun crept over the dull Californian mountains and shone into the windows of the many residents of Redding RV park. Including all 9 of the sleeping titans. Bumblebee was the first to wake rising out of the bed she crept along the carpeted floor of the rv.
"Ya'll look so peaceful when your sleeping" She said walking past most of them. She saw Terra who was throwing a punch in her sleep.
No doubt who she's punching She said to herself while looking at Raven.
"Even in your sleep you two don't get along" She said shaking her head at Raven who was also throwing small air punches. She punched Beast Boy in the stomach. He pulled back in pain and shot up wide awake. She had settle down now...having beat her 'enemy' and she fell back into a small sleep. He sighed and also laid back his head closing his eyes. Bumblebee walked outside the rv and sat on the wooden picnic table. She looked out, the chilled breezed running past her ans the sun lazily crept up.
"It's beautiful in the morning"
"Yeah, I'll say" A male's voice called back to her. She blushed.
"Sparky? What are you doing out here?"
"I felt a pressure leave the bed, just making sure you were okay is all" He looked at her concerned.
"I'm fine, I just like being outside in the early morning, that's the best time of day, it's totally quiet, absolutely beautiful, and it just makes you feel good inside"
"It does have a calming affect on you"
She smiled
"So you planning anything today?"
"Yeah, I know where leaving this place"
She cocked an eyebrow.
"Why so soon, we haven't got to know the place?"
"We just gotta keep moving bee, it's a huge country and I gotta cover a lot of it"
"Yeah, but there's no time limit, we don't have to been there in a specific amount of days do we?"
"No but, there are other places that I wanna go to"
"So where are you thinking next?"
"Somewhere in Nevada"
"That sounds nice, what about Vegas?"
"I don't know, I was thinking about it, there isn't anything wrong with Vegas, I have to look at other places before I decide"
"Well it was nice chatting with you Cyborg, but I'm gonna go in now, some of the others might be wondering where we are" She said looking into the windows. She could have sworn she saw a face disappear from the window.
"Well once we get in their were going to have to keep a low profile" He said
"I know" She kissed him on the cheek. "Come on"
"Y..Yes maim!"
Inside the rv everyone was going crazy.
"Move! Robin yelled
"Everyone back to their beds!" Speedy yelled trying to steal la spot in Starfire's bed. Robin just slapped him across the face and Speedy went back to his bed. They all laid quietly and awaited the opening of the door. Raven awoke from her sleep not knowing that all the other titans were awake too. Beast Boy's eyes were fixed on the door.
"What's going on?" She yawned.
"Cy and Bee just had a little moment outside, so we all watched, but she doesn't know it we just don't want them to get suspicious"
"Okay" She said picking up some covers and wrapping them around her shoulders. The door opened and Cy and Bee walked in the rv hearing small almost inaudible snickers.
"Okay what did ya'll do?" He said.
Terra leaped from her bed.
"We were watching your private session! It was Raven's idea!" She yelled pointing at Raven.
"Me! I was asleep!" Raven yelled. Beast Boy growled at Terra.
"Don't look at Raven guys, she really was asleep" Cyborg sighed.
"I don't care whose fault it is!" He stormed into the bathroom,
"Aww look what you guys had to go and do, now he's in a bad mood!" She said crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well it really is Raven's fault, she's just in denial is all! She's trying to look good so her precious Beast Boy doesn't dump her and come to me!" She laughed evilly. Everyone was staring at her. She pouted. "Fine it was my idea! I wanted us all to do that so that when you came in I could blame it on Raven! I though Beast Boy was a lot dumber so I though maybe he's believe me if I said it was Raven then dump her and come back to moi" She said pointing to herself. They all just blinked then went back to talking.
They'll see, they'll all see! One day I will expose Raven for the evil she is and Beast Boy wont love her anymore and with Raven out of the way I'll be in nothing but pure happiness
She sighed
"Dream on Terra" Raven said with white eyes.
"How did you?"
She pointed to her forehead.
"You and your stupid powers!" She stormed off toward the backroom where Aqualad stayed. At least she knew that she could talk to him.
"Aqualad? Are you awake?"
He put down the novel he had in his hands and waved to her.
"Yeah I'm up, anything you want?"
"Just someone to talk to"
"Beast Boy wont listen?"
"He's too busy with his gothic chick to care"
"Well maybe you just have to give him sometime" He smiled. She could feel her heart melting.
What the hell is this? I love Beast Boy and noone else! I do not love Aqualad, I don not love Aqualad , I do not love Aqualad, I do love Aqualad...whoa did I just say that...oh crap! No no no I love Beast Boy and that is that
She blushed.
"I'm glad that I could make you feel better"
"Huh? How?"
"Your blushing"
"Oh well" She blushed deeper.
"Thank you for the talk Aqualad!" She walked out of the room. He went back to reading his novel, smiling slightly. She looked flustered when she came back into their main room.
"Well, I guess your little chat with Aqualad went good" Raven said.
"How did you?"
She pointed to her head again.
"Okay you need to stop it with the mind reading Raven or you are going down!" She said yelling at her. Raven just yawned.
"I am sooo scared, help me! I need to be saved from a blonde bitch" She said sarcastically. Beast Boy just laughed.
"Nice one Rae" He laughed again. Terra's head must have popped off her head and did a 360. She was blowing steam from her ears.
"Oh yeah well, you're a half demon"
"Oh how kind of you to notice, I never would have figured it out on my own"
"Strike 2" Bumblebee said watching the cat fight.
Terra's blood began to boil.
"Well at least I'm not some little gothic stick who pretends that's she's perfectly fine when she's know that she's slightly anorexic!" She yelled. Raven looked at her stunned.
"How did you find that out! I haven't told anyone about that problem" Her eyes lowered to the ground. She was defiantly going to get something from Beast Boy later.
"I found out through this!" She picked up a small black book that had a golden spine and a number coded lock.
"My diary! How did you get in?"
"Easy, I told the name of your precious mother and turned them into numbers and it worked.
"How did you know about my mother?"
"How did I not know about her? Slade told me everything! He told me your entire past, what your mother did and what happened to her and he told me about how you were born, about your stupid mother, she went and got herself taken by your glorious father! She was a real air head that one"
Raven's eyes lined with tears.
"You take everything about my mother back"
"No"
"Take it all back!" She yelled standing up on the bed.
"No! I don't wanna because I know I'm right!" She yelled also standing. Robin nodded and he grabbed the blonde. Beast Boy grabbed Raven. Her waist was much too skinny. Why hadn't he noticed before?
"Come on Terra, were going to go up for breakfast...how does that sound?"
"Not as good as kicking Raven's demonic butt!"
"Too bad" His head shot around to Starfire.
"Come on Star" Star clapped happily and she followed Robin. Raven stood their panting.
"Raven...Rae calm down...what she said about your mother is wasn't true" He said picking up the little black book.
"Here's your diary back" She took the little book gingerly and ran outside sniffling she walked down into the forest. Beast Boy started to go after her when a hand came upon his shoulder. Someone he least expected.
"I think you should let her cool down first" Speedy said. He had never seen this side of speedy before, usually he was just some perverted freak.
"Speedy, you okay?"
"I think she needs time dude, she's a fragile chick" Beast Boy nodded slowly agreeing to him.
Maybe Speedy isn't always what he seems, maybe he is a little more trustworthy then people make him out to be, maybe if I make Speedy feel like this was a good way to be he'll stop acting like a pervert and get on the good side of things.
"You know Beast Boy...I may get a little out of hand with women sometimes, but I think that I understand them the most.
"Yeah, how so?"
"Because, for some reason, when ever they're hurt or sad, or lonely I know. Usually so many guys have problems understanding what a women is feeling, but not me. Like take Terra, she's sad and jealous. She sad because she wants to be with you and she's jealous because you chose Raven over her"
"Are you trying to tell me to go back to Terra?"
"No because I know you love Raven, and Raven loves you to death"
"Huh? You think so?"
"Yeah, but right now she's upset"
"Well I would be too, Terra read her diary, found out about her past AND insulted her mother"
Speedy shook his head.
"No, she's upset because, she thinks your going to hate her because of her problem"
"I wanna talk to her about that, but I'm not angry, she just needs help and I'm willing to give it to her"
Speedy smiled.
"Now, you can go and talk to her, she's calming down"
"How can you tell?"
"I can sense emotional waves, but only from females...it's not a real power...I like to think of it as a power though" Beast Boy nodded and ran out the door and headed for the hill side.
"Haha! You've outdone yourself again Speedy! I can't believe he believed that crap!" He laughed hard. Aqualad came storming in.
"Would someone care to tell me why the whole Rv is shaking?" He yelled. Speedy looked at him with fear. He nodded no and watched the enraged atlantian go back to his room. He wiped his forehead and headed for the bathroom.
Terra was moving her eggs around her plate in a sluggish manner.
"Come on Terra, it isn't that bad, so you lost Beast Boy to your worst enemy! You'll find love somewhere else" Robin said trying to cheer her up. Trying was the key word there because...he wasn't so good at that.
Terra's lip quivered and she let out a small whimper.
"What Robin is trying to say Terra is that, Beast Boy may not be the best choice for you, it is obvious that destiny has chosen you with someone else" Starfire said smiling.
"But what if I don't want anyone else! I'm not about to lose the man I love to some half demon that can't love him back! He'll have his heart broken!"
"With all due respect Terra" Robin started "You're the one who broke his heart in the first place"
She looked at him angrily then went back to her eggs.
"What do I do? I at least want him to like me as a friend again, we had so many good times together" She sighed.
"Well friend Terra, I have an idea!" Starfire said looking at her with a smile.
"And what is that?"
"Well maybe if Raven is ever in danger you could save her"
Terra looked at her like she was crazy.
"Aaaand what would I wanna do that?"
"Because if you save his love, then he'll trust you more" Starfire beamed.
Terra's face lit up.
"Starfire I have an idea!"
"Huh?"
"Maybe if I save Raven he'll trust me again! Then he'll like me again" She giggled.
"But Terra..." Terra gulped down the last of her juice and ran out the door.
"Thanks Star!"
"But..that was my idea" She said frowning.
"Well it was a good one!" Robin said munching on a piece of toast. She smiled at him and they went back to their conversation.
Beast Boy walked down the side of the hill. Their was a small stream at the bottom of it and Raven sat on a log with her pale feet in the water. She looked down at her reflection and threw a stone at it rippling the water in many directions. He looked at the girl sadly. Did she really feel this way about herself? He kept walking. Her head turned toward the noise coming from the side of the hill. Her eyes landed in his which were staring at her with worry.
"Hey Rae"
"Didn't I tell you not to call me Rae? My name has 2 syllables Ra-and ven or are you too stupid to figure that out?" She hissed.
"Raven...please talk to me"
"You don't wanna talk you just wanna come down here to tell me that your disgusted with me and you realized that you still love Terra" She said her voice faltering.
"No, I came down here to talk to you, to comfort you"
"I don't need comforting, I'm a big girl I can deal with a few insults" She said coldly.
"You look like you need comforting to me?" He said in a caring voice.. She looked at him with nothing but sadness.
"Do I really stand out as being weak? Or fragile?"
He just shrugged.
"You don't look weak to me, but you do look a little bit frail, anything you wanna talk about?" She shook her head.
"Just let it out Raven, I don't mind" She looked at him scooting closer and sobbed into his chest" He rubbed her back softly.
"See, there you go, it's okay to feel sad sometimes, especially when there's always someone there to heal you up" He said standing up offering her a hand. She took it and moved back into his arms.
"Raven you can tell me about everything when your ready" He said. She nodded and clutched closer to him.
"I will tell you eventually, just not now" She said looking him in the face.
"You didn't have to and I wasn't expecting you to" He smiled. She gave a weak smile back to him and they headed back up the hill.
Cyborg was sitting at the table with a pencil in his mouth and a ton of books spread across the table.
"I guess, your planning huh?" Speedy said sitting down across from him. Cyborg just grunted.
"You have any idea where were gonna go?" He asked
"Yeah! Somewhere in Nevada, and before I blow my top and decide to just quit on this whole trip why don't you leave!"
"Alright okay I'll leave...jeesh you don't need to get your metal in a knot" Speedy started to snicker.
"You get it? I said your metal in a knot but you can't bend the..."
"I SAID OUT!" Speedy whimpered and ran out the door.
"Finally some peace and quiet" He said and he went back to work.
It was many many hours later and it neared dinner time. Everyone was sitting around the small campfire talking and enjoying themselves.
"Alright ya'll since this is out last night at this place, were going to do it right by eating a full meal around the campfire!" Everyone looked excited.
"Well I got some steak and some tofu steak on the grill and it's already to go!" Everyone lined up in back of the grill to receive their steak. Speedy licked his lips when he got his and he but into it.
"This is really good Cy!" He called
"Thanks, just enjoy it! I also have baked potatoes up here" Some of the titans went back and forth to the grill either getting some condiment or another potato, but most of them were almost stuff after their first or second helping.
"Well that hit the spot' Bumblebee said rubbing her hand over her stomach.
"Yeah! What's for dessert?" Robin asked.
Cyborg smiled and pulled out three bags.
"An old campfire classic!" The three bags read, graham crackers, marshmallow's and chocolate.
"Yes!" Beast Boy hollered. Everyone hurried up and grabbed a set of the three and made their sandwich. Starfire had trouble.
"Robin what is this smore?"
"It's a sweet sandwich Star, here I'll help you" He picked her hand up holding it gently.
"You take the graham cracker on the bottom them you put the chocolate. Then you roast the marshmallow till it gets really gooey. Then you lay the marshmallow on the chocolate and put the other graham cracker on" He coaxed it toward her mouth.
"Take a bite"
She did so and her face lit up.
"Ohhh! It is wonderful! Thank you Robin for helping me" She said blushing.
"No problem" He said and looked at her sweetly.
Soon it was time for bed. The rv was unhitched to everything and Cyborg had got them check out for the morning. As soon as they all got up, they would eat breakfast. Cyborg was writing in his journal.
"And so ends our days in California, were onto Nevada next, I hope the team likes it. Because I do" He closed the book and slipped in under his pillow and fell asleep ready to wake up to drive for many hours to get them to Nevada.
