Robin walked out of the bathroom while still pulling on his shirt. Raven was looking at him through the mirror and for a second before he could see, she blushed. He was wearing jeans with a somewhat tight, long sleeve black shirt. Raven couldn't help noticing that the shirt showed off some of his muscles perfectly. Exactly why I told him to get it… Robin heard her and cocked his head to one side in question. Raven jumped a bit and finished putting her things away. Robin walked towards her as she stood up and turned around to face him. Robin stopped dead on his tracks. Raven's hair was pulled back into a sleek yet loose looking ponytail, and her bangs were parted to the side so that they slightly covered her left eye. Raven looked down at the floor as she felt Robin examining her.
"You look even more amazing now…" Raven looked up at him and smiled, and Robin's heart did somersaults. He smiled back and walked over to the door.
"It's five minutes to 7. Shall we?" Robin stood in the open doorway and led Raven out. She smiled at him as she walked past and Robin's heart skipped a beat again. Wow… something's definitely going on with me… with us… He heard Raven laugh a little and blushed. Haven't learned how to close your mind properly? Robin frowned. I only know how to do it the harsh way and I don't want to hurt you. Raven was surprised by his sincerity, but smiled up at him.
"I'll teach you on our trip tomorrow." Robin nodded his head and Raven smiled at him. They walked into the living room to find that Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Starfire had apparently just reached as well.
"Friends! I've missed you so!" Starfire shot forward and hugged Raven. Raven stumbled a little, but held her ground. She smiled and gave Starfire a quick hug in return.
"Friend Robin! I have missed you most! How I wish you would have joined us!" She jumped on Robin who returned the hug with one arm and smiled lightly at Raven.
"I wish you would have both joined us." Starfire added at the end as she turned over with one arm still around Robin. Raven looked away from them and over to the rest of the Titans. Beast Boy was heading her way.
"Yea, how'd it go Raven? Have fun? I saw what you were shopping for when we were talking. Nice choice." Beast Boy said it in such an un-jokingly manner, that Raven's mouth just dropped open and she couldn't form a retort. He laughed at her and took hold of her hand. Robin could feel anger building up inside him.
"Time to go peeps!" Beast Boy pulled Raven along behind him and Starfire pulled Robin along. Raven and Robin looked at each other in confusion, but followed. Cyborg shook his head as he also headed out.
"Hey wait, how are we supposed to get in there? The stuff that we put in isn't very well packed… so there isn't that much space…" said Beast Boy as he reached the car. Raven had pulled her hand away and brushed her hair out of her face as an excuse. Robin had done the same and used having to fix his shirt as an excuse.
"Oh yeah, I put down the third row so that I could start putting things in… so now we only have the two singles ones in the back, and the passenger seat… someone is sitting on someone else's lap…" As Cyborg said this, he ran into the driver's seat as if to avoid getting in the middle of the conflict.
"Well, Raven can sit on my lap. I definitely don't mind." Replied Beast Boy while looking Raven over. I'm going to kill him! Stop! Calm yourself! You're the leader! Robin just turned his head away from Beast Boy.
"Um… Beast Boy, I-"
"Friend Beast Boy, I do not think that friend Raven would agree to such a thing. However, I wouldn't mind sitting on Robin's lap… and I'm sure he wouldn't mind it either…" Starfire batted her eyelashes at Robin. Yea! Sure my-Ok! Ok! Calm it! Robin sighed, then looked over at Beast Boy.
"You are a changeling!" he yelled. Beast Boy jumped back in surprise.
"Yea… so?" Raven smiled at Robin.
"So, could you turn into like a puppy? That way you can stretch out between me and Starfire and we all get to sit comfortably." Answered Raven, and Beast Boy's face dropped.
"I thought my idea was pretty comfortable…" he mumbled, but turned into a puppy and jumped into the car. Robin smiled and got in the front seat. He heard Starfire sigh and reluctantly get in the car. What's going on here? Green is the new black, hadn't you heard?Robin cocked his head to the side as if trying to decipher what Raven was saying and she laughed. He took a minute to understand and laughed as well. The rest of the team turned to them with confused looks on their faces, but said nothing. They had gotten used to the fact that they would sometimes exchange strange gestures at what seemed like nothing at all. They drove in silence for a while, until Cyborg couldn't take it anymore.
"Hey, so Rob, I made the reservations. I reserved it as Teen Titans. Apparently they know us even in Puerto Rico… When the travel agent called to get the reservations that she said Teen Titans, we could hear them yelling through the phone. We got the biggest villa, with 5 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, the apartment has a kitchen, living room, T.V./game room, balcony, and has its own private way straight to the pool. They say it's where usually the big stars go for their vacation, but apparently no one had booked it yet, so we got it… for half price." Robin whistled in amazement and Raven's mouth just dropped open. Cyborg and Starfire laughed at their reactions as Beat Boy barked happily.
"Nice work! We can just cook our own meals and still feel pretty at home!" Raven smiled at Robin's remark and nodded in agreement.
"Oh, there's also a complimentary breakfast and a table is always open at their main restaurant for whoever is staying there. It should definitely be worth it!" Added Cyborg and Robin had to laugh. He could feel Raven's excitement explode and he laughed even harder. Raven bit back a giggle but kept smiling widely. Cyborg suddenly felt a lot better about the day's events as he pulled up at the restaurant.
"We're here!" Yelped Beast Boy. He had jumped and turned into his normal self so quickly, that he ended up pulling Starfire and Raven over on him. Starfire was able to get up first as she had fallen on top, but Beast Boy held on to Raven as she tried to straighten out which way was up and which was down. Robin held back a growl as he jumped out of the car and went to open the back door.
"Now this is more like it…" said Beast Boy as he held Raven. Raven looked up at him with wide eyes. She tried to pull herself up but Starfire was still half on her with one leg tangled under Beast Boy. Raven heard the door behind her open, and felt arms reaching out over her.
"Robin! You've come to pull me out?" Starfire asked in a sweet voice. Robin grunted and Raven rolled her eyes as she again tried to get up. She suddenly felt Starfire being pulled out from on top of her, and was able to shift so that she could at least peak out the door. She saw Robin pulling Starfire by her arm and letting her land on her feet. Starfire looked on in surprise as Robin lunged himself into the car once more. Raven tried to move, but found Beast Boy holding her still.
"Beast Boy let go! I'm trying to get up!" Raven argued and Beast Boy chuckled. His face suddenly twisted in frustration as Raven felt his arms being removed from around her. She then felt arms wrap themselves around her and carry her out bridal style. She looked up at Robin as he set her down in the front seat.
"Are you ok?" He kneeled in front of her and scanned her mind for signs of injuries.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" He looked at her once more and realized she wasn't telling the whole truth. He looked down at her arm and saw that she had her hand, which was glowing blue, over her forearm. Raven heard him growl as he stood up. Robin! No! Robin stopped and looked back at her. But he hurt you! I know, but don't do this. You can't be the one to lose your cool. He grunted and stayed rooted to his spot, but turned around to face Beast Boy who was now climbing out of the car.
"Beast Boy, you need to be more careful. You hurt Raven and it could have been worse!" He said it in a strict-leader-like tone and Beast Boy's eyes widened. He ran forward towards Raven.
"Raven! Are you ok? I'm so sorry!" Robin, however, stepped in his path and Beast Boy came to an abrupt halt a few inches from him. They glared at each other, and Raven felt anger radiating from them. She had finished healing herself and went to stand between the two of them. She placed a hand on Robin's chest and one on Beast Boy's. They both relaxed instantly at the touch and she pushed them apart from each other.
"You both need to calm down. It was an accident, and we all know that. I'm fine, and luckily no one else was hurt. Now, take a deep breath and shake hands. You're friends and you're not gonna be mad at each other over our vacation." They both sighed and smiled at each other. As they shook hands, they heard Starfire yelp a little.
"Ouch! Friend Robin, I believe I hurt my foot when friend Beast Boy fell on it!" Starfire gave him her most innocent look and Robin sighed. He walked over as she sat down in the back seat. She had been wearing a short pink skirt with a white tank top and quickly stuck her leg straight out at him. Robin looked straight at Raven as he noticed Starfire's intentions. Raven rolled her eyes and walked forward.
"Here, Star, let me take a look." Starfire moved her leg away from Raven and towards Robin once again.
"But I wish for friend Robin to take a look at it. He knows about this type of injury." Raven looked up at Robin who just looked back at her as if asking her to save him. She smiled at him and shrugged.
"Actually, Star, Raven should do it. After all, she's the one with the healing touch." He smiled at Raven who nodded in approval. Smooth.Thank you! She smiled and bent down in front of Starfire. She quickly noticed that Starfire had in fact gotten a tiny scratch and healed it quickly. She stood up and smiled at her friend, who couldn't help smiling back.
"Ok, we're all good as new."
"Thank you very much friend Raven! I am most grateful for all your help." Starfire gave her a bubbly smile and Robin chuckled. Such a quick transition of emotion… You're telling me…
"Friend Robin, will you please help me up?" Starfire stuck out her hand at him and he shrugged.
"Sure thing, Star." He grabbed her hand and gently pulled her to her feet. He then tried to let go, but instead, Starfire held on tightly to his arm. Raven saw the exchange and felt her face getting hot. I give up! Robin jumped slightly at the sudden outburst and looked at Raven, only to see her turn around and head straight inside. He grunted and tried to follow, only to find Starfire still holding up to him and letting him lead her forward. This can't be good… As he thought this, he realized Raven had closed her mind to him and it only angered him more. He sighed in defeat as he walked on inside with Starfire happily clutching his arm.
