It Could Only Be One Thing

"I think I'm in love with…"
Pause.
"Raven."
--
Cyborg, Raven and Starfire looked up at the sound of a familiar voice exclaiming something loudly.
"Friends, should we do the 'checking out' to find the reason behind this?" Starfire asked, looking up at the ceiling as she stirred a boiling pot of pink goo. "It can't be that bad. Robin and Beast Boy are both sensible enough to call for help if there was someone attacking, and they wouldn't fight with each other, unless…" Cyborg trailed off, and when Raven looked up at him, raising an eyebrow, he motioned, with his eye, to Starfire.
"If he did I'd know." Raven stated simply. "Besides, I doubt even Beast Boy is stupid enough to tell a world-famous superhero that his girlfriend was his secret crush."
--
"Raven? You like Raven?" Robin spluttered incredulously. Beast Boy, blushing, made a face and looked away. "Don't make a big deal out of it. You like Starfire," He held up a hand to silence Robin. "So if we go on the trip, not only will it make Star happy, it'll also give you the chance to tell her."
Robin raised an eyebrow. Since when did Beast Boy get so good at empathy? How the hell did the stupidest member of the team figure out that he liked Starfire more than in a friendly way?
Of course, Robin was being silly. First of all, his crush on Starfire was so freaking obvious that even Cinderblock would be able to tell. Secondly, Beast Boy was, by no means, the stupidest member of the Teen Titans. He merely chose not to use his brains, instead settling for comedic slapstick humour because it kept things light and cheery. Plus, when he was in the Doom Patrol, he was often berated for thinking outside the box and acting accordingly instead of following Mento's (ha ha, I accidentally typed Mentos) by-the-book method.

"So, how'd it go?" Cyborg asked as Beast Boy descended the stairs. "Uh, all right, I guess. I convinced him." he replied, grinning. Raven, looking up, frowned. "How? Knowing that workaholic, he would never agree so readily."
Beast Boy glanced at her and grinned, fighting his blush down. "Well, if I told you, I'd have to kill you." He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes, returning to her book. Cyborg raised an eyebrow. "Please tell me there ain't nothing going on between you two," he said. Both Titans in question glared at him. "There is NOT anything between us!" they chorused angrily.
"Okay, okay! I get it. No need to be so defensive. Geez."
Raven and Beast Boy decided not to comment and went back to playing video games and reading respectively.
--
"Alright, Titans. Since we've been working our butts off – no, Star, that's just an expression – Beast Boy suggested that we go on vacation. So, Titans, what do you say? Up for a little rest and relaxation?" Robin asked.
Even Raven cheered.
--
"C'mon, kiddies, it's time for a ride in my newest, most awesomest mode of transportation EVER!"
Raven raised an eyebrow. "An RV. Whoo. I am so awed." she said sarcastically. Beast Boy snorted in laughter. "Good one, Rae…ven." He managed to catch himself before Raven got the chance to decapitate him – or worse. Raven sighed as she released the ball of dark energy she had been holding in her hand. "Damn," she muttered. "Won't even give me a chance."
"It just looks like an RV, it's actually a cool plane!" Cyborg grinned gleefully, looking exactly like a pleased child.
"Robin, why is it that we must go away to have this 'vacation'?"
"Well, Star, it's nice to see new places, plus we can start over in a place where nobody knows us. It's nice to be able to do anything without anyone watching your every move."
"Watching our every move?"
"Yeah. People like us, once we mess up, everyone knows about it. If we make mistakes in a new place where no one knows us, it's alright because nobody will make a big fuss out of anything."
"This is true. But tell me; where are we going for this vacation?" Robin blinked, realizing that he himself didn't quite know. "Uh, Cyborg? Where exactly are we going?"
Cyborg paused. "Uh…"
Beast Boy grinned. "So it's open for suggestions! Great! So, uh, how about we go to this beautiful tropical country near the Straits of Malacca?"
"What, Indonesia?"
"Nope. Malaysia. How 'bout it?"
Raven raised an eyebrow. "I can't believe that this idiot knows about the Straits of Malacca. But I hear Malaysia is a nice place, so no complaints here."
Cyborg and Robin shrugged. "Eh, I guess it can't be too bad if Raven agrees," Cyborg said, clambering into his RV-slash-plane thing. Robin nodded his agreement and instictively took Starfire's hand as he pulled her into the RV-slash-plane thing.

So…? How was it? Better? Please tell me it's better. Rewriting old plots that kind of sucked is quite fun.
Review!
