Ch.14 PMF


“May I now know where we are going?” Rae was impatient because she didn’t like surprises too much, they had never ended well for her.
“Not yet Rae. You’ll find out when we get there.” This just seemed to irritate the dark witch more.
“If you don’t tell me where we are going in the next 5 seconds,”
“Too late, we’re here.”
“And where is here exactly?” she clenched out.
“Ah ah ah. Not until we get to our table. Then I’ll take off the blindfold.”
It then occurred to Rae that she could remove the blindfold using her powers, however the boys had foreseen this slight problem, and gave her a special blindfold. It was immune to her dark powers, and as her hands were currently occupied, she had to stay in the dark and unknown.
“Here we are.” Beast Boy gently removed the mask and stepped back, afraid that she might not like the place he had picked out for them. They were currently in a red booth that had a window that overlooked the sea and the stars dancing in the night. The table was covered in a white cloth and had a small vase of some kind of purple flower on it, with an electric candle at one end of it. Never had she believed that he would take her someplace like this. Although she would never admit this out-loud, she had fun. He was sweet, kind, caring, and they had a wonderful conversation the entire time. Not once was he immature, not a single time did he take his eyes off her, well except to eat but she saw that he did so reluctantly. He was a perfect gentleman, and she saw a side to him that he rarely showed anyone. She felt…almost giddy when she realized that she got to see the secret side of Beast Boy that he didn’t show anyone else. Rae was almost sad when the night ended. However, after a quick goodnight kiss that ended up destroying every light bulb in the hall, she slipped under the covers of her bed with her giant chicken and with a small sigh, she drifted into sweet dreams of a certain green changeling. He almost floated back to his room. He grabbed his secret Raven plushie, and hugging it close to his chest, he too drifted off into the realms of dreams. His dreams centered around his dark angel.


“I wonder how it went?” Raven questioned
“If the sound of breaking glass is any indicator, I’d say they both had a good time.” Marie giggled
“Thanks for the time in the park. Who knew how good it felt to have fun every once in a while.” Raven thanked Cyborg
“Why don’t you guys relax more often?”
“Most times we don’t get a chance. We have to train, mediate, go through lessons, beat bad buys, save the city (sometimes the world), plus we have chores and it just ends up that we get up before the sun, and we don’t get to sleep until late. The girls have our weekly girls’ night, I guess we could count that. Although it is usually only to make sure that we still remain friends and don’t drift apart. So instead of being fun, it has kind of turned into a type of training. I don’t know what the guys do, but I don’t really want to know. So, we are almost always training or practicing.” Marie explained
“How about we play a round of Mega Monkeys 4?” it was still early enough
“Nah, we gotta go mediate, again, sorry.” together they walked off to get the peace of the night
‘Those girls sure are odd.’ Cyborg was kind of surprised at how much fun they had at the park. He brought a Frisbee, and after explaining a few things (like how it worked), they played for hours. A simple game of tag or hide-and-seek entertained them endlessly.  It was like they never had played or been real kids before. As he thought about it, he realized that they hadn’t. They had grown up like Rae. They constantly meditated to keep their dark sides at bay, and they said that they had lessons, so there was school for the group. It sounded as if their leader trained them harder than Robin’s worst simulation. If their speed in their battle a while back was any indication, and the fact that they fought for several hours before becoming slightly winded, then they were powerful indeed. Their lives were strictly regimented and that left little time for fun. He resolved to make sure that while they were stuck in this time, they would have fun. That they would, at least for a little bit, have a childhood. The rest of the Titans had to grow up too soon, it didn’t seem fair that this tradition would continue in future generations. They were sweet, they deserved a chance to forget about beating bad guys, training, and meditating, and be kids. If only for a few hours one day.
