I can't say I own the Teen Titans. Because, well... I don't.

Garfield grinned animatedly as they entered the Wayne Hotel lobby. It was grand, elegant, and expensive-looking, and he felt the childish need to touch everything. But a quick glance at the emotionless expression of his pale teammate made him repress his immature urges, in turn for something more sophisticated to say. "This place is sweet!"

Raven nodded, seemingly unimpressed. "It's nice," she mused in a bored tone.

Richard smiled politely as he stood beside her, draping his arm over her shoulders in a friendly way. "Feels just like old times, huh?" he laughed.

The dark-haired girl smiled. "I guess I have missed this place," and with a pointed look from the black-haired boy, she rolled her eyes fondly, "and you."

Garfield attempted to suppress a growl as he watched them act so chummy. He knew he had no right to be jealous, especially since he barely knew her, which he kept reminding himself. "You used to live here, Rae? Uh, ven!" he corrected quickly.

Raven nodded her head. "Yeah, a couple of years ago; Richard and I were the only two kids here all year long."

The new guy grinned, removing his sunglasses and exposing his light blue eyes. "She was really my only friend; I was crushed when she moved," he teased, shaking her gently.

She smiled a sad smile. "It's a long drive to Jump..." she mumbled.

"Tell me about it! If you were closer, I woulda visited you or something; heck, I barely recognized you today!"

The pale girl let out a dry chuckle. "Really? I could smell your cologne the minute we landed."

The blonde boy continued to watch the two joke around, his jealousy only increasing. Victor gave his best bud a concerned look. "You okay, Gar?"

Garfield's attention immediately snapped to his friend. "Huh?"

The large teen's look of concern grew. "Did you, uhm... did you take your meds today?" he asked in a whisper.

The blonde rolled his eyes in amusement. "I take them everyday, dude. Don't worry, I'm fine," he assured with a grin.

Victor continued to look skeptical, glancing over to Raven and Richard, who were now conversing with a very excited redhead.

"So you do not have a home?" Kori asked in confusion, staring intently at the black-haired boy.

"Well, this place is my home," he shrugged, avoiding eye contact as he blushed. Raven felt herself smile at how nervous her old friend was around the pretty girl.

"Ohhh," the redhead drawled, finally understanding. "In my home country, everyone had a proper home, so I had not heard of this 'hotel-living'."

Raven shook her head in amusement, before glancing over at the blonde boy. Making eye contact, he smiled warmly at her, causing the pale girl to blush.

"Okay, dearies!" Ms. Mae called excitedly once all the students gathered in the lobby. "Your roommates are your teammates, and there will be one room for the boys, and one for the girls. I know you all are good, sensible teenagers, so I know there will be no breaking this rule: no one of the opposite sex shall go into your rooms."

Her announcement warranted a few groans in protest from the guys and a few flirty giggles from the girls. Raven spared another glance at Garfield, who had walked over beside her. "Looks like we won't be spending too much time together, after all," she smirked.

The blonde feigned a look of shock. "Raven, are you telling me you're not gonna sneak me in?" he teased, earning a glare from the dark-haired girl.

"We still barely know each other; don't push your luck with this 'friendship'," she deadpanned, though he could see a hint of a smile.

Garfield adopted a serious look on his face. "I will not disappoint you, frieeeennd," he replied, attempting to hide his grin.

Raven snorted in mild amusement. "You are probably the most annoying guy I have ever met," she admitted, though he sensed the jest in her voice.

He bowed dramatically, earning an eye roll from the pale girl. "Thank you; and you are the most..." he trailed off as he stood straight, unsure of what to say. "Uhm, sarcastic girl I know?" he finished lamely.

"You got that right," Richard interjected, giving the dark-haired girl a pointed look. "And it'll only get worse- trust me."

The blonde teen refrained from rolling his eyes in irritation. So far the black-haired boy had been incredibly nice- and was obviously crushing on Kori- so Garfield knew he had nothing to be angry about, but he still felt a little threatened by their friendship. Even though I barely know her, and have absolutely no reason to feel this way! he thought bitterly, glancing at the pale girl.

He sighed in contentment, marveling over how effortlessly beautiful she was. He hadn't felt this way about a girl in a long time, nor had he ever felt this strongly. He was certain they had some sort of connection; perhaps some stereotypical "opposites attract" connection, but still, a connection none the less.

Raven felt his eyes on her... again. Sure, they had just spent almost three hours getting to know each other on the plane, but she still felt a little... strange around him. And she couldn't quite place the feeling; it was as if her stomach was doing somersaults. Maybe I'm just feeling sick from that tofu stuff he asked me to eat? she thought in amusement.

She wasn't very good at making friends, with Richard being the exception, but she could tell that this boy was eager to get to know her. And what was really confusing was that she kind of felt the same- to a less annoying degree, of course.

"Raven!" a cheerful voice called.

The dark-haired girl sighed, turning her attention to yet another overly-excited person who seemed overly-eager to befriend her as well. Maybe I just attract happy people? "Yes, Kori?"

The redhead smiled brilliantly. "Let us take our baggage to our room!" she exclaimed, before giving Raven's hands a quizzical look. "Where are the rest of your bags?"

The pale girl smirked as she carried her two bags. "These are all I've brought."

The look of shock on Kori's face was a few degrees shy of comical. "What?!" she exclaimed incredulously.

Raven held back a dry laugh. "I'm a, uhm, light packer?"

The pretty redhead shook her head defiantly. "No, this will not do; we must visit the mall of shopping!"

The pale girl felt herself get even paler at the thought. "N-no, thank yo-"

"We will leave first thing tomorrow morning! Saturdays are our free days," she smiled brightly.

Raven spared a quick glance at Garfield, praying that this would be another conversation he interrupted, but he was busy talking to Victor and Jinx. She sighed in defeat, bracing herself for what she was about to say. "O-okay..."

So here's chapter four- in case you didn't realize it, since I seem to be saying something like this every chapter lol. But anywhoo, this is chapter four!

I've never ever been on a club field trip, so I'm not sure if they get "free-days", especially since most of these guys are still considered minors and they only have one little chaperon- who's like in her sixties- but for the sake of this story, they do! So if you could suspend your disbelief just a tad, that'd be fabulous!

Oh, and leaving a review would be fabulous as well ;D

Or follow or fav! Those are great too!

Next chapter up maybe today...?
