Hey! Chapter 6 up!
I don't own McDonalds, but then again, why would I want to?
Chapter 6: Road Trip
"Are we ready to go?"
Robin, Raven, and Cyborg stood beside the T-car, putting the last of their luggage in the trunk. It was Cyborg who spoke.
"Yeah, Starfire and Beast Boy should be out here any minute," replied Robin.
"Man, this is gonna be so awesome! Two full weeks at the beach!" Cyborg was clearly excited.
Maybe a little too excited, Raven thought. "Oh yes, it's going to be a blast," she said sarcastically. "Listening to Beast Boy ask 'are we there yet?' for hours, getting cooked in the sun like a lobster, and getting attacked by sharks sounds like so much fun. I'm going to have the time of my life." She paused. "And not to rain on your parade or anything, but it's not two full weeks. It's really only twelve days, because they count the day you arrive and the day you leave." At this, she floated to the car and got in the back seat.
Cyborg stared after her for a moment. "What motivated Val-Yor to call her 'Sunshine'?"
"Uh-"
"Friends! Beast Boy and I are now ready." Starfire walked into the garage with Beast Boy close behind her.
"Dudes, this is gonna be so much fun!" yelled Beast Boy.
"Yeah, try telling that to Raven," replied Cyborg, rolling his eyes.
"Are you sure we have everything?" Robin asked Cyborg.
"Maybe if you'd quit asking me that, I'd be able to check!" yelled the metal-man, annoyed. Robin had been asking that since yesterday and it was starting to tick him off.
"Sorry, I just don't want to find out half-way to the beach that we've forgotten something."
Cyborg sighed. "You worry too much. Believe me, we've got everything but the kitchen sink."
At this, Starfire was confused. "Please, could someone tell me how you would fit everything inside the vehicle? And if you have everything else, why would you not want to take the sink?"
The three boys sweat-dropped.
"Um, it's just an expression, Star," explained Robin.
"Oh…"
"Are you guys going to stand there talking all day or are we going to go?" asked a monotone voice.
"Raven's right. We should get going if we wanna make it there before dark," said Robin, and the rest of the Titans piled into the car.
As they headed out of the garage, Cyborg and Beast Boy exchanged glances, took a deep breath, and yelled…
"ROAD TRIP!"
Yep, this is going to be the best vacation ever…
"Are we there yet?"
"Beast Boy! If you don't quit asking that, you'll find yourself with a first-class ticket to the moon!"
It was about halfway through their trip, and Beast Boy had been asking that same question once every twenty minutes. At first, Raven had tolerated it, but now it was getting annoying. An anime vain was popping out of her head.
"Sorry, I can't help it! I'm bored!"
"You'll be a lot more than that if you don't shut up!"
"BOTH OF YOU WILL BE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IF YOU DON'T STOP ARGUING!" Now it was Cyborg's turn to be annoyed.
It would be a lot better than sitting here, Raven thought as they continued down the highway.
"Thank you for choosing McDonald's, would you like to try the combo today?"
They had stopped at a McDonald's to get some food and were now driving up to the window to pick up their orders. As Robin handed the food to them, he noticed for the first time that the Titans in the back weren't sitting like they normally did. Instead of Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, it was Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy.
He sighed. They had never fought for this long before. Why can't they just act their age and apologize? Hopefully by the end of our vacation they'll be friends again…
But little did he know that he was doing more harm than good…
Sorry that this is such a stupid chapter. Boring? Yes. Short? Yes. Pointless? Pretty much. I wanted to put this up before I leave for the beach on Friday. Yep, again, but for not as long. I'm coming back on the 19th, but right after that I'm going to Indiana to visit relatives! Whoo, I'm having a busy summer!
Also, I'm working on some other fics. I'm working on this one, another multi-chapter, some poems, and possibly a one-shot song-fic. So, I won't be updating this one as often.Yeah, I'm busy!
Sayonara!
P.S. I'm drinking coffee with a straw! Wow, I'm weird...
P.P.S. Did you know that the name "Slade" means "Child of the Valley"? (laughs head off)
