Howdy, for the third time! It has been a great summer vacation so far (only five days)! And I would like to thank all the reviewers for so many comments on the second chapter! I didn't like the second one that much, but I'm glad someone did! Makes me feel all warm inside (sniffs). Anyhow! I would like to invite you to Chapter 3! And ya I'm a little hyper, I just had a lot of candy! Remember, review if you want to, but if you just enjoy the story that's alright with me. I just like to know how I'm doing.
Disclaimer: You seriously need to get those people some help, I still don't own the Teen Titans, or McDonalds, I wish I did though! That would be total AWESOMENESS! …Like I said…LOTS of candy…
Two Pennies A Wish
Chapter 3: McDonalds: I'm Lovin' it
Beast Boy and Raven sat down in the back of the movie theatre, Beast Boy claiming it to be the best spot in the world. Raven shrugged and walked towards the back, Beast Boy alongside her.
They plopped down into the two seats in the back, near the middle, maybe three seats away. They were set, Beast Boy had a large Dr. Pepper, a free refill if needed, and a large popcorn. Raven sat next to him, a small Sprite was all she ordered, not being the type to always drink cold beverages such as this.
The previews started almost as soon as the two of them sat down, and Beast Boy turned to Raven, half his face being lit up by the screen, "Ya gonna be okay?"
Raven turned to look at him, and nodded, "After last time, I think I can admit that I'm scared instead of keeping it from everybody." She then glared at him, "But if you tell anyone, I'll kill you!"
Beast Boy smiled mischievously, "Is that a threat?"
Raven nodded, "Since when was it not?"
Beast Boy smiled as he put his back against the comfy red cushioning, taking a large gulp of his Dr. Pepper.
Suddenly the movie started, the title read, 'Wicked Scary 2'. Raven shuddered slightly at the memory of what happened the last time she had watched this, trying to calm her insides down.
A few people were already screaming five minutes into the movie, and Beast Boy was cuddled into his seat, wrapping his arms firmly around his legs.
Raven frowned, looking back at the screen. A few minutes later, a small scream was heard nearby, and Raven noticed that the scream had come from her. She covered her mouth quickly, hoping no one around her had heard, but Beast Boy's hearing was better than most.
Beast Boy tore his eyes from the screen to face a baffled Raven, one pale hand over her mouth.
Beast Boy almost laughed, but instead laid a hand on her pale one. She looked at him, her hand on her mouth slowly falling away. Beast Boy smiled lightly, telling her it was okay, and she fell for it. She looked at him, then turned to the screen.
The movie lasted for about two hours, but only felt like thirty minutes, and almost everyone in the movie theatre was frozen in fear.
Suddenly someone in front, stood up, and punched both fists in the air, yelling, "That was AWESOME!" A few laughs were heard from the rest of the people, and a few low murmurs. Suddenly people felt reality hit them.
People started to file out quickly, and Beast Boy threw his empty popcorn carton to the side, brushing his hands from crumbs, "Well that was scary," He said grinning at Raven.
Raven had still not been able to move from her seat, as if it was her life and she wasn't about to give in. She looked up slowly at Beast Boy, and once she did he could tell she was holding her fear in. He immediately panicked, "Raven, say your afraid."
Raven swallowed hard, if she didn't say she was afraid, everyone could be taken away by the darkness of the monsters she created with her fear. It was because of her they should be afraid, she was a bigger threat than any monster or creature that they had ever encountered. She put her head down, and pushing her pride away, she muttered, "I'm scared." And she was.
Beast Boy sighed in relief as he saw the black blob on the wall, slowly diminish. He turned to her and took her hand, and she looked up at him, "Let's go." He said softly.
She almost smiled right there, but she was still a little shaken about the movie. Beast Boy and Raven then made their way to the exit.
Beast Boy looked over at her, "So, whadya want to do now?" He asked as they opened the door to have sunlight hit their skin.
Raven looked around, and shrugged, "I don't know, what about you?"
Beast Boy grinned, "How about we go get lunch?"
"Where?" She asked curiously.
Beast Boy shrugged looking around the city, as if asking the stores for suggestions of what would best for him and a best friend. His eyes then returned to her, her violet eyes, "How about some pizza?" He asked, suggesting the Titans favorite meal.
Raven looked up at him, raising a petite eyebrow, "Do you know how many times we've had pizza?"
Beast Boy scratched his ear thoughtfully, "I don't know, how many?" He asked looking down at her.
Raven frowned, "Does it look like I count?" She asked.
Beast Boy chuckled lightly, "Nah."
Raven rolled her eyes as she and Beast Boy began walking down the street, together.
They passed a few stores, a laundry mat, when they finally came to a place called, McDonalds.
Beast Boy smiled and gestured to the bright store, that a couple was making their way into, "How about we try here? No pizza." He offered.
Raven looked the building over, not exactly liking the brightness of the yellow, but she didn't come here to be a fashion critic. She turned her head to Beast Boy who was smiling, "What about you? This isn't exactly a place to come and be a vegetarian you know." She said lifting an eyebrow.
Beast Boy shrugged, "So, I can order a salad, it's not that hard you know." He then smiled.
Raven rolled her eyes, "If your sure." Beast Boy grinned, and they made themselves through the glass doors.
The smell of grease and cooking meat burst into Raven's nose like a bomb. There were a few people sitting down at tables, eating and talking casually. The white floor had a few streaks from people's shoes, and one or two of the tables needed to be cleaned. Plants sat as a few decorations, and a random rock song played softly from the speakers on the walls.
Luckily there wasn't a big line, just about three people, and they came in behind them. Suddenly the couple that was in front of them spun around, and smiled largely. The teenage boy looked about eighteen, brown hair and a growing mustache. The teenage girl had black hair with allot of make-up, she looked a little younger than him.
"You're the Titans right?" He asked curiously.
Raven and Beast Boy glanced at each other, as if to check that people were still seeing a green guy and a purple-eyed girl, the super powered teenagers.
Beast Boy nodded, grinning, "Ya, we are."
The girl turned her head and giggled flirtatiously, flipping her black hair over her shoulder, "Wow, you guys are, like, strong." She eyed Beast Boy with desire, and batted her eyelashes.
The guy smiled, "Never really thought I'd actually meet you guys face-to-face. And look, we're in McDonalds and I'm meeting you!" He said as if he were talking to God himself.
The bubbly black haired girl giggled, and flipped her hair behind her shoulder, almost hitting a waiter behind her. "Ya, that is like, so like, ironic!" She giggled.
She then looked at Beast Boy and licked her lips, "You look, like, loads better in person than you do in like, the pictures." She giggled again, smacking her gum.
Beast Boy blushed, and Raven felt something inside of her flare up. What if Beast Boy fell for her girlish charms and left her forever? She could picture him just waltzing through the front door, the preppish girl in tow, confessing his undying love for her and then leaving. She then pictured Starfire and Robin going off to, to settle down and have children. Bumble Bee and Cyborg would probably move off to the country. She would be there, alone.
They all talked some more, the black headed girl flirting nonstop with Beast Boy, flipping her hair, and batting her eyelashes.
After a few minutes it was Beast Boy and Raven's turn to order. Beast Boy ordered a fruit salad and a large Pepsi, and Raven settled with a small cheeseburger ketchup and onions only with a small water.
Beast Boy pushed the cash over and the waiter took it, with a small smile that told them he'd rather be anywhere else than in a bright restaurant taking money from random people that spat in his face while telling him what they wanted. Beast Boy gave him a small hopeful smile, and turned to Raven. "Where ya want to sit?"
Raven raised an eyebrow, but looked around at the small room, and decided on the height booths. Beast Boy grinned as he climbed onto his easily, his reflexes were really good.
Raven on the other hand growled as she slipped off, and glared at the seat. Beast Boy chuckled and walked over to her, and put his hands on her sides. Raven gasped and turned around quickly, putting her hands on his arms as if to throw him off of her. But instead of that, her grip loosened and was soft and warm. Beast Boy and Raven's eyes met, both of them searching each other's. Purple and green. Night and day.
Beast Boy was stunned at the beauty contained in these eyes, he found the small tinge of embarrassment that she couldn't quite keep from showing. While Raven found amusement, care, safety, patience, purity, and sincerity within Beast Boy's green orbs. They were filled with such passion it calmed her. Her soul rested under the gaze and her heart quickened.
Beast Boy knew he had to do something or he would get stuck looking at her eyes all day in McDonalds. He leaned forward and chuckled lightly as she blushed, he then put his mouth next to her ear, "Let me help you." He whispered.
Raven cursed him for having such a strange affect on her with his breath against her tender skin. What was all this suppose to mean anyway? That his breath had some kind of power to put goose bumps on her skin? It didn't amuse her at all. But in a weird way it made her feel good, but it was still weird.
Raven nodded, and felt Beast Boy heist her up easily. And before she knew it, she was seated on the plastic bar stool. She let out a tiny grin at another accomplishment.
Beast Boy grinned, "There, that wasn't so hard now was it?"
Raven glared playfully at him, and he just chuckled before patting her head. Then left to go get their orders. Raven sat there, playing with the soft fabric of her napkin. She so glad to have Beast Boy as a friend, he was there when she needed to be lifted up, when she just wanted to talk, and all the times in between. He was right, she wasn't alone.
Beast Boy returned with a large red tray and sat it down at their small table. "Your food is served." He announced.
Beast Boy lifted himself back onto his stool and handed her, her hamburger. Raven studied it. It looked safe, well sort off, the melting cheese kind off made her wonder, the meat smelled strongly of grease, and the bun had a small amount of smoke coming from it. Showing that it had come almost immediately out of the oven. At least it wasn't pizza, she reasoned with her mind. Every time they won a battle, it was pizza. Every time they were hungry, it was pizza. Every time they were bored, it was pizza. And all the times in between? Pizza. She practically was a pizza now.
She lifted the hamburger to her mouth and inhaled the rich smell of everything acquired in the burger. She then opened her mouth and took a hesitant nibble. It was good.
Beast Boy saw the small flicker of satisfaction in Raven's eyes as she would bite down into the hamburger, and he couldn't help but grin a little. Just seeing her even the slightest happy made Beast Boy feel better.
Suddenly his communicator went off, catching him off-guard for a moment, then slightly irritating him.
Raven peered over at him, the hamburger slowly slipping from her mouth. Beast Boy grinned at her, then opened the small plastic instrument.
"Beast Boy here." He called through the communicator, trying not to disturb the people around him.
Robin was on the other line, "Hey Beast Boy, is Raven there with you?"
Beast Boy nodded, "Sure is."
Robin continued, "I need you and her to head over to the store, we're out of food over here."
Beast Boy glanced over at Raven, seeing how she was taking the news. She just gave him a look that meant irritated, but otherwise a not so willing participant.
Beast Boy nodded, "Sure Robin, be back in about two hours." He informed his leader.
Robin nodded, and just about when Beast Boy was about to tell him bye, Robin began to talk again, "Oh yeah, and Beast Boy."
Beast Boy looked at him, "Ya?"
"Can you keep the tofu at a minimum?" Robin asked with a small plead in his voice.
Beast Boy frowned, "Dude! How can you say that? What if it was YOUR pig dying?" He questioned the boy wonder.
Robin sighed, "Beast Boy, will you please just take the tofu thing a step down?"
Beast Boy huffed, "Fine, but when someone kills your pig, don't come whining to me." He warned.
Robin nodded, "I'll keep that in mind." With that the connection was broken, and static appeared on the screen.
Beast Boy looked at Raven, "So, Wal-Mart or H-E-B?"
Raven raised an eyebrow, but said nothing, and rather shoved the last bit of her hamburger into her mouth.
And this is where I'll be leaving it… for now anyways. Personally I like Wal-Mart better, I guess it's because I see more people I know there than I do when I'm in H-E-B, but everyone has their favorites. Also I would like to thank all my beautiful reviewers, but I would like to thank samuraigurl1213 especially, she warned me not to answer to the reviewers on the page you write. I find that an odd rule, or whatever it is, but I don't want my story deleted, so I apologize. Reviews are nice, but if you'd just rather not, I'm not forcing you into it. Have a nice day! (Wal-Mart pun!) Thank you again for the reviews, you have no idea how much you guys make me smile and tear with joy!
Love you guys and gals!
Love and Peace
