Thanks to Overactive Mind, BigQuise, Stars-Eclipsed, New moongirl for reviewing on chapter 8 :D
I'm a bit annoyed at this...when the system had too be rebooted I had over 2900 hitz on this story! So watchers, people and dear reviewers we must strive to beat this! lol you may continue on to Chapter 9!
Considering how Gar judged Raven, he expected the cafe to be total black with vampires and brain eating, zombies...who read poems. Well he was right about one thing. The Hi-ku Cafe was decorated in purples ans blues, the lighting giving off a warm aura. It wasn't crowded apart from a waitress in a mini skirt and a small following of people taking turns to speak on stage. The smell of chocolate cake filled Gar's nose, his mouth watered.
"Oy!" Gar heard Jinx call. " We're sitting here." She stood next to a table hidden next to the small side of the performing stage. Quickly he followed. Seeing it was safe he brought his hood down. If he was in Gotham...well let's just say he wouldn't have made it across the door way.Jinx giggled as his green ears perked up.
" It's nice of you to invite me y'know" Raven 'hmfed' and read the small menu on the table.
" Anything you want?" Jinx asked.
" Ooh That chocolate cake wouldn't go amiss..." He said drooling.
" I see...The usual Rav-y?"
"Please Jazz-i" Gar watched the split second that Jinx's face turned red.She stormed sulkingly to the counter. There was an akward silence. Garfield used it to an advantage.
Without her hood up Raven's hair had an unatural shimmer. It was purple too...naturally purple? Nah...Maybe? The girl's top hugged her sides and the loose fishnet looked silky. The table stopped him from seeing any more...not that he wanted too!
In reality Gar's face burned and it stained his face, unfortunatly Raven saw him. She frowned.
" It's rude to stare." The boy's face blushed more as he looked away from her. In revenge Raven glanced at him.
His pointy ears spiked out of his messy green hair, the top of his ear was pierced, with a tiny skull stud.
Cool she thought. Gar's face was still red and she scanned to his chest. He was scrawny, much like Aqualad, but he was younger and it looked good on him for his age. His pink pacman top stood out in the cafe just as much as Jinx's hair did.
" Er...do you want something?" Raven snapped her head up. Gar's blush was dieing down.
" Nice T-shirt" The dark girl smirked. Gar rubbed his neck nervously. He noticed something he'd missed while looking at her.
" Hey Rae...what's that on your-"
" 1 choco cake, a herbal tea, and a coke for moi" Jinx happily intruded on the duo. Seeing their faces she grinned evilly.
" Oh I get it you want some alllloooonnneee time?" This time both boy and girl blushed. Someone far away would become fearful of their favorite coffee mug.
" NO!" They shouted in unison.
" Ok!" Jinx acted like she hadn't said anything. Passing the cake to Gar, he quickly ( but grossly) devoured it. Jinx glugged on her coke and Raven sipped her tea. They stayed like that for a while until, as always, Jinx struck up conversation.
" So Aqualad's got you swimming?" Gar nodded.
" When you gonna be training? I might drag Ravy down to watch her two fav boys-if you haven't guessed your the other fav." She added.
" Well I can't remember but he did say something about tommorow"
" Cool! Well we'll come down...any excuse to see Giles in his swim-" Raven's hand cut her off.
" I'm slightly disturbed that your fantisizing about my boyfriend's swimwear." Yet another grin.
" I wonder if you think about him-if y'know what I'm preaching about..." Raven covered her eye's muttering about Jinx's twisted imagination.
" Sorry about that Gar, but any chance you get to bug Raven take it!"
" I'll keep that in mind." he laughed. Jinx had a sudden brainwave.
" Speaking of Gil', has he asked you to the homecoming dance?" Gar's attention switched on.
" Dance?"
" Oh you don't know. Every year when school starts there's a special dance to welcome us back. Everyone is invited, even some people from outside school. It's usually in October" Jinx continued.
" Raven and Aqualad didn't go last year because they weren't together." Raven watched as Gar's ears twitched.
" So your going with him this year?" he asked, trying not to sound disapointed.
" It depends if he can, considering all his extra duties and practices next month. He might only make the last dance." Everyone was silent. Gar looked at Raven. Raven stared at Gar. Jinx eyed them both. Gar saw Jinx was about to speak.
"Why don't-" Both hands cut her off. Gar laughed shaking.
" Er yeah! I'll have to get a date. When is it?"
" They haven't set a date but it is next month." The trio returned to eating and drinking.
" Hey Gar why don't you play company with ickle Ravy while Aqua 'ain't there?" Raven restrained her fist.
" And what does that mean?" Jinx chuckled.
" Eh heh! I mean he could go with you to keep you company, dance with some other girls ...maybe get a slooowww one with you?"The purple headed teen returned to her blank mask. Gar remained unmoving...was Jinx trying to set him up with Raven! Jinx kicked his shin.
"YAAess that's a nice idea Jinx ...but Raven has Aqualad and-"
" It is a good suggestion" Raven muttered. Jinx bugged her eyes. So did Gar.
" I mean I'm not really a dancey person so we might be sitting around-"
" Giving the odd Sloowwww dance?" Jinx gave a cheshire cat grin. Raven, at lat, knocked her off her chair.
" We're going as friends..."
" With benefits!" The sitting duo burst out in blushes.
" As friends" Jinx corrected, placing herself on her seat. The topic closed. Raven checked her watch.
" I have to go-curfew an all." Jinx was confused.
" But you li-" A glare shut her up. Slowly she slipped out.
" Hey Raven!" Gar called.
" Keep the hoody for a while I'll..." Gar leaned against the door frame.
" No no I just remembered a tradtion my...er...clan used to do in Africa." Raven stared at his spaced out face.
" And this custom is?..."
" Performed by girls when they have...to...to go somewhere..."
" But your not a girl" Gar 0o'ed
" I mean you!" he panicked. Raven smirked.
" When they leave they give the nearest...boy a beso" Oh he was so clever...
" You want me to kiss you?" She looked bored.
" How'd you know that!"
" Took a Spanish course"
"Soooooo" he gave her the unbearable face. No matter what his stupid green eyes sparkled.
Urg She thought What could happen? Leaning in she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, nothing that a friend wouldn't do. Gar could have melted. Raven left...
and saw someone she wished hadn't of been there.
" Aqualad!"
