Trip to Hawaii
Raven
Raven looked around to see if there was something for her to do. Unfortunately, she kept thinking about a certain green boy, which was making things complicated. Luckily for her, she found something that took her mind off of him: the library, and this library was huge. She opened the door and walked in saw that the whole place had a bookshelf covering almost every corner, with at least 200 books on every shelf. "I'll have to admit, this could give the Library of Congress a run for its money," she said. She walked around until she pulled a random book off of the shelf. The book was called 'Flowers from the Storm'. "This looks interesting," said Raven. When she turned looked at the spine of the book, she saw a label marked 'ROMANCE'. Raven's eyes went wide and a nearby light bulb exploded. Everyone immediately looked to the source of the explosion. Raven tried to hide the fact that she caused it, which seemed to work since no one glared at her. "Well, that was unexpected," she said to herself. She put the book back in its place and grabbed another one called 'Born in Fire'. "Okay, maybe this one won't have anything to do with-" she stopped before finishing her sentence when she saw that this book was labeled with the same one as before. In a dull and somewhat annoyed voice she said, "Romance." She replaced this book and grabbed another one. Unfortunately, this one was the same as the other 2. She repeated this action over and over until she went through almost every book in the bookshelf. "What is going on?!" she screamed. That got her a quick shush from everybody in the library. Raven apologized and stepped back to see a giant sign above the bookshelf. "Out of all the types of categories I could choose from, it had to be this one," she said. There, on the sign, read 'Romance Section'. Raven wanted to get her mind off of Beast Boy, and finding herself accidentally going to the 'Romance' section of the library didn't exactly help her.
"Well, I might as well," she said. She grabbed a random book and went to the front desk. She checked out the book and walked out the door. Well, might as well read it. She pulled out the book and started to read as she walked by the beach. By the time she hit the beach area, she was already at Ch. 5. Unfortunately for her, she had come to the first romantic part. Also unfortunate for her was that she started to think more and more about Beast Boy. Things only got worse as she started to imagine herself and Beast Boy in those parts. He was the handsome man holding her in his strong arms, while she was the beautiful young girl captivated by him. Then she got to the part which she was afraid to get to: kissing. She read on as the lovers started leaning towards each other, all the while still imagining herself and Beast Boy doing what the book was. When it got close to the actual kiss, there was a sudden 'BOOM' from every light on the street. Raven's face turned beet red, which caused her to close her book and immediately run. She kept running until she reached the docks. She touched her hand to her head and stroked it. "Why can't I just get him out of my head?" she asked herself. She sighed and looked out into the ocean. She saw a pod of dolphins jumping in the water and swimming around, which caused her to make a small smile. Then she noticed something weird about one dolphin. It was jumping through the water like all the others, but it also looked like it was…….waving at her. All of a sudden, she saw that same dolphin jump and smack its head on the side of a nearby cruise ship. One more thing about this dolphin….it was green.
Beast Boy
Beast Boy walked along the streets. He wasn't thinking about what he could do or where he would go to do it. All he could think about was Raven. Just then, he saw a snow cone vendor. "Maybe that'll take my mind off of her," he said. He stood in line and waited to get his snow-cone. He finally got to the front of the line and said, "One snow-cone please." The vendor scooped up a cone of ice. "What flavor would you like?" he asked. "I'll take grape," replied Beast Boy. The vendor put the grape dye on the ice and handed it to Beast Boy. Beast Boy thanked the vendor and paid him. When he decided to eat some of his snow-cone, he gasped when realized that what he got did everything but take his mind off of Raven. "Of course," he said. "I asked for grape, and grape flavored things are purple. And what else would purple remind me of?" Beast Boy decided to head to the beach. He thought maybe a swim could clear his mind. After eating his snow-cone, he ran for the water. As soon as he was about to go in, he realized that he didn't have his suit with him. "Ah, crud," he said. "Wait a minute." With a smack to his forehead, he had realized something. "I change into animals, including water animals," he said. "Raven's right. I must not have a brain." Mentioning her name got him thinking about her again. "Alright, maybe a little swim will help me out." Without further ado, he changed into a small fish so he could swim around in the shallow area. Unfortunately, that didn't help him clear his head. Then he saw a pod of dolphins further out. "Hmm, I've always wanted to swim with dolphins," he said. He swam further out until the water was deep enough, then he changed into a dolphin. When he met up with the other ones, he started swimming and jumping around with them.
Beast Boy then started swimming out, adding a few jumps in. He found that this helped him get his mind off of Raven very easily. He spent the next few hours playing around with the dolphins and jumping with them. He was having the time of his life. When the pod started moving, he followed them. After a while, they stopped and played under water for a little bit. Eventually, they all had to come up for air, so they resurfaced. Beast Boy reached the surface and breathed air into his lungs. All of a sudden, he heard a bunch of explosions on the shore. He saw that lights lining the whole street had blown up. All of the explosions reminded him of someone he had tried to forget for the moment: Raven. "Oh, great," he said. As if on cue, he saw her running until she came to the docks. "Well, since she's here, might as well say hi," said Beast Boy. The other dolphins started moving again, so he followed again. When he got close enough, he started jumping out of the water while still heading in the same direction as the others. He saw Raven turn her head and look out into the ocean. When he was sure that she saw him and the others he started waving while he jumped. Unknown to Beast Boy, he got out in front of the pod. Also unknown to Beast Boy, there was a nearby cruise ship that was right in front of him. The next thing he knew, his head met with iron as he ran into the side of the ship. Beast Boy, dazed and dizzy, started to see black slowly cover his vision as he drifted to the bottom.
Hey there! Thought this weekend would be a good time to update, since I don't have any homework due soon for any of my classes. Hope you liked this chapter, and expect another one soon, hopefully. Btw, for some that don't know, the Library of Congress, mentioned in Raven's part, is considered the largest library in the world. Learned that from National Treasure. :)
