Trip to Hawaii
Beast Boy finally got a chance to drive Cyborg's car. To everyone's surprise, he actually made it home without a problem. Once they got inside, Cyborg went straight for the bathroom. "Hey Cy, didn't you lose it all at the mall? I'm surprised they didn't sue us for stinking up the food court," said Beast Boy. As he continued down the hall, he noticed that Raven's door was open. Being the curious one of the group, he poked his head through the door. As he looked around, he couldn't spot Raven anywhere.
"She must be in her mirror again." "What are you doing?" The voice made Beast Boy's heart skip a beat. He turned around really quickly and saw Raven. "Oh, hey Rae. You scared me." "I can do a whole lot more to you if you don't leave my room." Beast Boy just looked at her with sad eyes. "You know, Raven, you could try, just try to be a little nicer to me. I just saw that your door was open, so I took a peek to see what you were doing. That's all. It's not like I was going to play a prank on you or anything." Raven could tell he really didn't mean any harm by looking in her room. "I'm sorry Beast Boy. I'm just really tired right now, and I need a cup of tea." "Why don't I go get it for you?" Raven just shook her head. "I'd rather you didn't. No offense." "Are you sure? I can read the instructions." "Seriously, don't worry about it." "Okay. I'm just going to go pack now. I guess I'll talk to you later." "Maybe." As Raven left for the kitchen, Beast Boy headed for his room to pack his things. While he packed, we wondered why he offered to get some tea for Raven. "Now that I think about it, I've been wanting to do all of these nice things for Raven lately. I feel like I did when I was with… her," he thought. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was 8:30 pm. "Maybe if I go to bed earlier, I won't think on this so much."
Once Raven got into the kitchen, she got out a pot and started boiling the water. She also spotted Starfire trying to find something to eat from the refrigerator. All the while, Raven started to think about something, or more like someone. "Why was Beast Boy so eager to make me some tea? He's been asking to do a bunch of things for me lately. It's almost as if… nah. It couldn't be. Still, I do find it kind of sweet. Whoa, back up. I did NOT just think that. I really need some sleep. Hopefully that'll clear my head of those thoughts." Raven finished making her tea and went to bed.
Meanwhile, Starfire was still trying to find something in the fridge. Just then, she heard footsteps coming into the kitchen. Raised a starbolt-lit hand. "Show yourself, whoever you are." "Star, it's just me." Once she recognized the voice, she lowered her hand. "I'm very sorry, Robin," she said. "I thought you were someone dangerous." "Don't worry Star. If there was someone dangerous, I'd protect you," said Robin. This caused them both to blush. "So what are you still doing up," asked Robin. "I thought that I would have a "light snack", as your people call it, before I slumber. Robin looked over on the counter and saw what she had already taken out, which was just about everything. "Uh, Star, I think a light snack means something small, not everything we've got in the tower." Star just smiled at Robin. That smile always made his heart melt. "Well, I'm going to bed now. We need to get up real early. Good night Starfire." "Pleasant slorvacks, Robin." As Robin walked to his room, he heard Cyborg still throwing up. "Are you kidding me, Cyborg! What the heck did you eat, an elephant!" By now the whole Tower was starting to stink. "Dude, this is a time where I wish I didn't have heightened senses!" screamed Beast Boy.
