Trip to Hawaii
For the past 20 minutes, Starfire had taken Robin on every single roller coaster ride, each time scaring him and making him a little sick. Just as they got off the current ride, Starfire saw one that spun round and round at high speeds. Already feeling a little sick from the last rides, this just made him lose it. He ran for a trash can and began vomiting. Starfire came over to see if he was okay. After he was done, he pulled his head out of the can. "No more rides, please," he said. "Very well then, Robin," said Starfire. "I apologize for making you ill." Robin walked over to a nearby water fountain and washed his mouth out. "Don't worry about it, Starfire," he said. Then Starfire had an idea that she thought would make him feel better. "Why don't we go get a hot dog?" she asked. "We can put ketchup, mustard, onions, frosting, bugs, and grass on it." Since his stomach wasn't completely settled, and since Starfire mentioned disgusting things for a hot dog, he ran back over to the trash can to do what he had to do. "Maybe that was not a very good idea," said Starfire.
Meanwhile, over near Pearl Harbor, Beast Boy, Raven, and a badly beaten Cyborg were leaving the area. The whole way there, Beast Boy and Raven never said a word to each other, but every now and again, they would keep exchanging glances, then they'd immediately turn away and blush. Cyborg was getting a little annoyed at them constantly doing this. "Will you two stop looking at each other, then looking away?" he asked. "Cyborg, I'm really not in the mood to hear what you have to say," said Beast Boy. "So before I break you apart again, I'd shut up." "Jeez, BB," said Cyborg. "Don't have a cow." They just kept walking for awhile until they reached the amusement park that the woman at the front desk mentioned. "Hey," said Beast Boy. "Why don't we check this place out?" Raven gave him a look. "Didn't I say earlier that I don't do amusement parks?" she asked. "Come on, Raven," said Beast Boy. "Let's at least give it a shot. You don't have to go on the rides if you don't want to." After hearing that, Raven said, "Fine, let's go."
They walked in and saw all the rides, the food, the attractions, everything. Even Raven had to admit that she was a little willing to try out some of the rides, but not too much. "If anyone needs me, I'll be at a food stand," said Cyborg. "Wait a minute," said Raven. She went over to Cyborg and took some of his money. "Hey!" he shouted. "I'm tired of you constantly throwing up everywhere," said Raven. "I'm limiting your cash amount." Cyborg saw that he only had $10. "WHAT AM I GONNA BUY WITH THIS?!" he screamed. "A soda and a snack," said Raven. "If you don't like what you have, too bad. Maybe it'll teach you not to spend so much money on so much food." Cyborg glared at her and walked away. Beast Boy was just laughing at what Raven just did. "That was awesome," he said. "I don't think it's going to work though." Raven raised an eyebrow. "Why not?" she asked. "Because he'll probably find a way to make people give him their food," replied Beast Boy. Raven knew Beast Boy had a point. Cyborg would do anything to get food in his stomach.
As Cyborg left to get some food, Beast Boy went into a line to go on one of the roller coasters. "You coming?" he asked Raven. Raven shook her head. "Just go without me. I'll just wait for you," she said. "Alright then," said Beast Boy. Raven found a bench and sat down. Not long after Beast Boy got on the ride, a teenage boy came over to Raven. "Hey, pretty lady," he said. Raven turned her head to face him. When she saw him, she thought he looked a little familiar. With that aside, she glared at him. "If you're trying to hook up, it's not going to happen," she said. "Oh come on," said the boy. "You know you can't resist me." Raven just rolled her eyes. "Do you have any idea how you just sounded?" she asked. "That's one of the dumbest things I could possibly hear a guy say." Then she walked away. Suddenly, she felt a hand grab and squeeze her arm. She turned around and saw that it was the boy. "Let go of me now," said Raven. "I don't think so," said the boy. Raven tried to pull away, but the boy's grip was too tight.
"Let go of me you jerk!" she shouted. "Hey!" screamed another voice. The boy turned around to see Beast Boy, who had just gotten off the ride, walking over to him. "I believe she asked you to let her go," he said. "Yeah, so?" said the boy. "I suggest you do it," said Beast Boy. The kid just laughed at him. After taking a good look at him, Beast Boy realized there was something familiar to him about this kid. "Have we met before?" he asked. "Maybe this will jog your memory: S.W." Beast Boy's eyes widened. "That's it," he said. "You're the jerk from the plane." The kid nodded. "Guilty as charged," he said. "Oh, by the way." The kid let go of Raven and swung his fist until it connected with Beast Boy's face, who was knocked to the floor. Raven gasped at what just happened. While Beast Boy tried getting back up, he felt a blow to his stomach. As he groaned in pain, the kid taunted him. "What's the matter tough guy? Too weak to give me a wedgie now?" Beast Boy tried getting up again, but the kid kicked him again. He could feel tears of pain coming. "What's wrong little baby? Did that hurt? Why don't you go home and cry to Mommy, you green freak?" Beast Boy felt a tiny little flame build up inside of him as each insult and jeer from the kid's mouth poured out. "I guess your Pop was too much of a loser to teach you how to fight, huh? Maybe your whole family's full of losers like you." The flame inside kept getting bigger.
Then the kid rolled Beast Boy over so that they faced each other. The kid pinned him to the ground and proceeded to beat him up, each blow making the flame grow bigger and bigger. Raven ran over and pushed the kid off of Beast Boy, who retaliated by punching Raven in the face. Beast Boy saw this, then he finally snapped, and the flame bursted into an inferno. He immediately sprang to his feet and tackled the kid to the ground. When he got a good look at Beast Boy, he became terrified beyond belief. Beast Boy's eyes looked as if they were on fire. "Now you've crossed the line!" screamed Beast Boy. "First you punch me, then you insult me, and then you insult my family! You should've just stopped right there, but then you punched Raven! That, my friend was your biggest mistake!" Then Beast Boy began to beat up the scared boy. Raven, who was a little dizzy from the punch, couldn't believe what she was seeing. She had never seen Beast Boy act this way. Sure, there was the incident with Adonis, but that was nothing compared to how he was at that exact moment.
Ignoring the kid's cries for him to stop, Beast Boy just kept pulverizing him. As Beast Boy pulled his fist back for another blow, he felt a bunch of arms restrain him. It was the other Titans, who happened to see everything that went on. "Beast Boy, stop!" screamed Robin. "Just calm down man!" said Cyborg. "Friend, I believe that the mean boy has learned his lesson!" said Starfire. With Beast Boy restrained, the kid got off the ground and backed away in fear. Beast Boy tried to break free of the others' grips on him. His fury was so strong, even Cyborg and Starfire had a hard time holding the young changeling. Raven walked over to Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, please calm down," she said. "Please." There was a little bit of fear in her voice, which was fair, considering that the way Beast Boy was acting would've scared anybody. Because he heard her voice, the fire burning inside of Beast Boy began to die down. After a few minutes, Beast Boy was completely calm, though still angry. He looked right at the kid and said, "If we ever come across you again, you'd better pray I'm in a good mood. No one hurts my friend and gets away with it. Understand?" The kid nodded. "Then get out of here." The kid ran away faster than a cheetah.
A security guard came over and looked at the Titans. "I'm sorry kids, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave," he said. The Titans left and headed back to the hotel. On the way there, they all talked. "Beast Boy, are you alright?" asked Robin. "Just fine," replied Beast Boy. "I've never seen you act like that before," said Cyborg. "Not even when you were infected by the chemicals." Then Robin whispered into Beast Boy's ear. "It's because of what he did to Raven wasn't it?" he asked. Beast Boy nodded. "What are you saying Robin?" asked Starfire. "Nothing, Star. It's between me and Beast Boy." They finally made it back to the hotel. Beast Boy just went straight to his and Raven's room and laid down on the bed, just staring at the ceiling. He felt a little bad for what he did, but nonetheless felt that the kid got what he deserved. Then Raven came in. "We were going to go to the pool," she said. "Care to join us?" Beast Boy said nothing. Taking his silence as a 'no', she walked in, grabbed her bathing suit, changed in the bathroom, then walked out the door.
Even though she considered his violence unnecessary, Raven couldn't help but smile a little bit. "Maybe he really does love me," she thought. "I couldn't think of any other reason why he would snap like that after I got punched. Even if he doesn't love me, I still need to remember to thank him for caring about me." Then she proceeded down to the pool.
Here's 18. Same reasons as before: writer's block, school, and work. Finals are coming up, so that's taking up some time. Hope this was a good chapter.
