Chapter Three
For the past two days the Titans have been a frantic mess. They cleaned out one of the bottom floors and installed bathrooms and water fountains. Robin has been busy putting together the the parent night for tonight which will be in the training room which had the bleachers extended and a projector and a screen set up as long as made a TaeKownDo curriculum for the kids to follow. Raven was making the schedule for Monday to Friday, 8AM to 6PM. StarFire was setting up the rooms for the activities, the back room, and the TKD mats, the front room. Beast Boy was moving the tables to the homework room which was an adjoined room with books from ages 3 to full on chapter books. And Cyborg was fixing up two vans and two small school busses that he was given. So all in all, it has been very hectic. And then the doorbell rang. A loud echoing sound rang through the tower, stopping everyone at what they were doing and made them come to the door.
"Dude, its the first parents!" Beast Boy shouted nervously, "Do we look ready to you? No! Because they're…" He paused to look at the clock, "Two and a half hours early. TWO AND A HALF HOURS EARLY!" He shouted running around the first floor while the others soon joined.
"Chill dude, I'm sure that they just mixed up the time." Cyborg said reaching for the door. "Hello, Titans Tower, how may I help you today?" He asked the couple.
"Hi," Said the wife pulling out the flyer, "We understand that tonight is the parent night for the summer camp that you are going to be hosting and we would like our child to join."
"Oh, um, sure, come on in. Raven will show you where to go." Cyborg said trying to find his words pushing a surprised Raven to the couple.
"Where the hell am I supposed to take them?" Raven whispered annoyedly at Cyborg.
"Take them to the training room where the bleachers have been set up." He whispered back with a smile.
"Alright," Raven sighed, "Follow me."
Once the couple left Cyborg turned to Robin with a very confused expression. "What time is the parent meeting again."
"Um, 8PM ." Robin said as equally confused.
"Then why does the flyers say 6PM?" He asked holding up an extra flyer.
"I," Robin began, "I have no idea. We better get ready though."
When Raven was taking the couple to the training room she had many questions to answer from the couple.
"Will there be more lighting in the hallways?" The wife asked.
"Yes there will be," Raven started, "The florescent lights are bad for people so we don't ever use them. We need to find some string lights to add some color or whatever."
"How will the children be separated?" The husband asked looking very defensive.
"We will hopefully be having kids ages four to twelve and we were hoping to put children under eight in one group and children over eight in a another. But well see when we know how many children we will be having." Raven answered. "And before you ask," Raven put up her hand stopping the husband before any words left his mouth, "You children will be safe here. That we know for sure."
Once the last parents came in the training room the meeting began.
"Hello everyone." Robin began. "So as you know we are the Teen Titans. I'm Robin, thats Raven," he said gesturing to his right, "Thats Starfire," Gesturing to the far right, " And then Cyborg and Beast Boy." He said pointing to the left. "Each of us helped put together the summer camp that we hope your kids attend. They must wear closed shoes at all times unless we tell them to take them off. There is absolutely no flip flops or sandals. They will also have to wear the summer camp shirts which will be available after the meeting. There is no excuses if the child does not show up without it. It is mandatory so we know who is and isn't in the camp when were out of the tower. First we have Raven who made the schedule and will be telling it to you." He said sitting down when Raven got up to the stand.
"As already stated, I'm raven and I made the schedule for the summer camp. Camp will open at 7:30 in the morning and will end at 6PM Monday through Friday unless something happens, but you will be notified about it. In the mornings from whenever the first kid comes in to 8:45 will be free play time where they can either play with they're electronics, toys, read, or do they're summer work books. At 8:45 they clean up and head to the front mats to have roll call and to count how many are there that day. They will then be split up by there age group. Were planning for the two groups to be ages under eight and ages over eight. On Mondays they stay here until 9:30 and play interactive games like musical islands, grave yard, and all that and then we leave for the park. Lunch is at 12 until 12:20, then they play for an hour and we get back here around 2 in the afternoon. When we pass out everyones lunch boxes, they all get dressed for classes and work on there work books until they are called for classes. There are going to be two half hour classes until snack time which is until 3 while they watch a show or movie until 4. From 4 to 5 they have craft time where they make the weeks topic craft. And then from 5 to 6 is free play like I the morning.
On Tuesday and Wednesday its the same but flipped. Its the same schedule in the morning until 9:15 where the littles get they're uniforms on for class and the older kids leave for the movies. The littles will go to the playground until 12 and then have lunch, then go to the pool until 3 and be back for snack. For the older kids, they will come back from the movies around 12;15 and go to a playground for lunch and play until about 1:30 or so and will come back at 2 and do classes and work books. Then its the same for the next day but the littles go to the movies and the older kids go to the pool. If there is a chance of storms we then go to the splash pad. But if it starts storming in the morning then we all go to the movies. But if nothing is available, then will figure something out.
On Thursday and Friday is usually the field trip days where we go to the bowling alley, roller-skating, etc and the older kids go to those while the littles go to the library. They will stay at the field trips for lunch if there a place to eat, if not then we find a playground and eat there. The same goes for the littles. Both groups will be back around the same times and most of the time we just skip the work books and just do crafts. And thats the schedule. Now heres Robin for the TaeKwonDo curriculum."
Raven sat down and Robin stood up and walked up tp the podium.
"So this curriculum will be called the Titans Arts. The students all start at white belt and testing for the next belt is available after 3 months. They will learn self defense, basic kicks and punches, Thai chi movements and a little bit of Korean. They are allowed to were the shirts that were mentioned in the beginning of the introduction. Now Cyborg for the transportation."
"Hey y'all, So for the camp there will be two vans and two small busses. If needed we will take our car. We will be driving the kids around but if we need to we will hire a qualified driver. There are no parent volunteers allowed unload we ask for any. And now lets hear about the front and back rooms with Star and Beast Boy."
"Hello everyone," Starfire said enthusiasticaly "The front room is the mat area where your children will learn many of the arts of the martial and for roll call."
"And I did the back room which also has a mat and a back room for storage, silent or group reading, or crafts." Beast Boy said smiling former to ear. "So, any questions?"
"Man, I'm beat," Cyborg said dropping to the table to eat some leftover spaghetti, "I never knew that parent night would be so exhausting."
"I know, I can't believe we pulled that off," Beast Boy said with a yawn. "I'm going to bed. Good Night." And he walked off.
"I agree with Beast Boy, I will be going to the sleep also." Starfire said going to her room.
"Wow, that was quiet the night," Robin said sitting on the couch with Raven, "Wasn't it?" He said looking over at her. She was fast asleep on the couch, pure bliss across her face.
"You did great." He whispered to her and played down with her and fell into a deep sleep.
