Chapter 6: the Park tonight?
A.N: Here is chapter 6 ^^ I hope that the last chapter wasn't too fluff for you, I wanted to get Robin to talk to Gale about Raven, now that his feelings are "out in the open" she will have an easier time to set them up ;)
Thank you for following this story
Disclaimer: I own nothing except Gale and the plot.
The night was short, Robin didn't' get much sleep. It was hard to believe that last night he opened up to Nightingale, he told her everything. It felt like a weight was lifted from his shoulders. She was now a closer friend to him. He got out of his bed, took a shower, and then went to the kitchen to get some of Cyborgs famous waffles.
Robins POV:
Cyborg was up surprisingly early today, I mean it's 7:30 am and he's never up this early. Must have been Beast Boys snoring, it's loud enough to wake the dead! I looked around me only to find Gale, and Raven who was sipping some tea.
"Morning Robin, how did you sleep?"
"Fine Cy thanks"
"Kay man, cause I'm making your favorite chocolate waffle with some sausage on the side, before veggie-man over there wakes up."
"Great Cy, can't wait!"
Nightingale seemed to enjoy her caramel waffle; since B wasn't around she usually said things about him:
"He's a heavy sleeper that Beast Boy. It's a good thing though; we can enjoy our breakfast in peace. I'm not saying he's an ass guys, just a tad…"
"Annoying," answered Raven
"Yeah, but he's a kind person a bit childish but nice."
We were enjoying our breakfast in peace, with our voices being the only thing sound. Suddenly, someone snuck up behind us, as we turned as big voice came out:
"GOOD MORNING FRIENDS! What a glorious morning!"
Starfire, the only person I know that is so full of energy in the morning (that it nearly caused us to pass out), has arrived to join us, in the eating of the morning food.
Normal POV:
"Star please not so loud"
"Oh, I am most sorry friend Gale"
"It's okay Star, are you going to have one of Cys waffles? They're excellent."
"No, today I am having a morning pudding from Tamaran." she happily took it out of the refrigerator, and showed it to Nightingale "Would you like to do the trying of this one? It has got the honey, mixed with berries, the chocolate of milk and my favorite: The Mustard!"
Nightingale was ready to turn greener than Beast Boy himself "Um, I think I'll pass Star, thank you for the offer though."
"Poor Gale, she has been the "target" of Stars cooking the past week. She has eaten so many of those puddings, I think she's ready to faint just by the mere sight of them." Raven told Robin.
"Yeah, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet!" he replied.
"I told her not to be the test subject," she said.
"I can hear you two love birds you know!"
Robin slightly blushed, while Raven also turning red, blew up a nearby light bulb.
"I think I'm going to go meditate, see you later Robin."
Raven teleported herself to the roof. There she went into a lotus position and started to meditate. Nightingale flew to see her.
"You haven't changed a bit Rae, this is the first time in a while I see you meditating, don't you usually do it earlier in the morning? Why were you so red?"
"Gale, I will only say this once. Let me meditate in peace or else."
Knowing her threats were real, Nightingale didn't waste any time "OK see ya later!" and flew out of there as fast as she could.
When she got back to the common room, Robin grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side.
"When should we ask about the park?"
"Whenever you want Rob, we'll get it done okay?"
"I know I'm just so nervous!"
"Hey man, it's not like you're going to propose, even if it's kind of close to it for you. I'll get the subject on the road and you can do the rest."
"Yeah, let's do that."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
It was now noon, and Raven had finished her meditation "I needed that. What is with Gale lately? She is never is starfirish" she said.
In the common room, everyone was ready for lunch, Gale and Cyborg were finishing the hamburgers (a veggie/tofu one for B was made.), Starfire, volunteered to make dessert and was actually following the recipe (It smelled good too!), Robin poured the drinks and Beast Boy (who slept throw breakfeast, and woke up only 30 minutes ago) set the table.
"Hey Rae! Glad you're down! Take a seat we just finished the burgers."
The meal was good, until BB and Cys argument of meat and tofu took over.
"Meat Burgers are BETTER B GET OVER IT!"
"No Way dude! The veggie one beats the shit out of the meat one any day. It's healthier! Just look at me."
"You make it taste funny!"
"No I don't!"
"Won't you two shut the fuck up already?! Meat and Tofu are both good, and Beast Boy you just cook it weirdly, get over it!" snapped Raven. After that the mood went down, very low.
"So um, I was thinking of maybe going out tonight."
"Really friend Gale? Where to? Could we assist you?"
"Yes Star, with all of you but I don't know where to go. Any thoughts Wonder Boy?"
"How about the park? There is a firework show tonight Nightingale."
"Do we all have to go?"
"Yeah Raven you do! You're presence is highly recommended." She said taking a British accent, to make it sound more serious, it worked on Cyborg the other day.
"Oh friend Raven, please come with us!" Starfire started making the sad but irresistible puppy dog face "It will be most wonderful if you attended, I wish to see the fireworks of different colors with ALL my friends!"
Even being Raven, she couldn't resist Stars plea "Fine Star I'll go!"
"Oh Splendid! When should we depart?"
"Later tonight, around 5 to get a decent place." Answered Robin.
"That's a great, now I can flirt with ladies under the sparkling fireworks"
"Of course B, of course"
"Don't get your hopes up."
"Just watch me, I'll have a date by the end of the night."
"This I'm going to want to see!"
"Guys you're not being fare! Robin doesn't have a date either!"
"Not yet I don't" mumbled Robin into his napkin while taking a shot at Raven.
"Oh B, were just messing with you!"
They took a little break before the dessert, so Star could do the finishing touches. Whipped cream, vanilla custard sauce with sprinkles. Star then called them in. You can imagine how anxious they were, she made a chocolate cake but they couldn't help but think if she put mustard in it.
"Wow Star, this is really good, no mustard this time?"
"No Beast Boy, I did the following of the recipe."
"Well it is excellent Starfire. You did a great job!"
"Thank you Raven."
"I love your custard Star! It's divine!"
"Thank you so much friend Gale!"
Robin wanted to say something, he had something special planned for Gale, since she helped him get the idea for the park, to tell Raven he loves her.
"I have something to tell you guys. During the break I called the Titans East so they could join us tonight for the fireworks and met Gale. I hope it's ok with you."
"Robin dude! You just made me so happy! I get to spend time wit my Bee!"
"That means I get to met your other friends Raven."
"You will love them Gale, there is friend Bumblebee, Aqualand, Mas, Menos and friend Sp…"
Robin cut Starfire immediately "You will adore them they're great! A little crazier though."
"I'm sure I will. We should start getting ready, it's two already."
Everyone helped clean up lunch, then went to their rooms to get ready for the show.
Cyborg went up to Robin, puzzled at why he didn't let Starfire finish the list of the Titans East.
"Why didn't you let her finish Rob?"
"I don't know what your saying."
"ROBIN answer me."
"Because I want it to be a surprise for her."
"What kind of surprise?!"
"You'll see."
