"Of all the things the titans could go do, Robin just had to pick this,"muttered Beastboy to himself. Robin had decided that the titans were due a break in the city and had made plans for everyone to go camping outside the city. This was not a problem for Beastboy. The problem lied with where they would be hiking to afterwards. Roin had also banned all electronics that were not necessary for life, aka Cyborg's mobile recharging station. Of course this didn't affect Raven so Robin had specifically banned any books to be brought on the trip as well for the sole purpose of forcing the titans to interact with each other more. They would camp near the bottom of the mountain outside Jump and then would hike up the mountin until they got to a nice waterfall, where they would spend the week. A very little known fact about Beastboy was that he was deathly afraid of waterfalls ever since the accident in Africa with his parents. He had never told anyone about this, not even his adoptive parents Mento and Elastigirl.
This was what brought Beastboy to his current predicament. He could always hire Slade to kidnap him so he can't go on the camping trip. Okay so maybe he was thinking of alternates that were way too outlandish to work. Besides if Slade popped up again, Robin would most likely shut everything out like last time. "Hmmm, what is a good way to get out of this trip," muttered Beastboy as he lay on his bed looking at the ceiling. Robin had ordered the titans to their room so they were forced to pack their things for the trip four hours ago. Ever since, the green man had been trying to figure a way out."I could tell them that i'm not feeling well, but then he would just postpone the trip until everyone was healthy enough to go". "That or make me go anyways" thought Beastboy as he admitted defeat for now and started packing. "I'm gonna have to face this sooner or later, might as well get it over with now." He was soon done packing despite the messy room.
The next day came way too soon for the tower's resident changeling. It was 8 o'clock in the morning when the boy was roused from sleep by his alarm clock. Robin had decided that they would get going by noon so this gave the boy four hours to kill. "Might as well go eat something before I go have a mental breakdown," thought Beastboy bitterly. Beastboy had tried several times to face his fear of waterfalls but they never worked. He would always break down and then pass out until someone found him and brought him back home. He had always been able to throw in an excuse and get by without being questioned too much. but this time he had to conquer his fears or be the laughing stock of the titans.
By the time Beastboy had arrived to the kitchen, the rest of the team was already making breakfast. Not wanting the usual tofu vs. meat arguement on an already bad day, he decided to just grab a bowl of cereal and some orange juice.
"So Beatboy, do you want to try some delicious meat?" questioned Cyborg anticipating the arguement that breaks out because of this. The other titans, used to this, just groaned and continued eating while trying to block out the unwelcome sound of the same arguement being retold in louder voices. The titans were all very suprised when Beastboy just muttered "not today tincan,"
"Did the muppets get cancelled Kermit?" questioned Cyborg as he went back to cooking bacon.
Beastboy was already in a bad mood because of the inevitable trip that would go horribly for him but the last time he was called Kermit was when he was chained in his uncle's basement for two years. Beastboy, pissed at being called Kermit and also due to the trip, just replied in a snarky voice,"no but Bumblebee called, she said that she was pregnant with Aqualad's kid." With that said, Beastboy instantly stalked out of the kitchen, cereal forgotten.
"You get back here grass stain!" roared Cyborg as he tried to follow him but was restrained by Robin.
"You started it so calm down Cyborg." said Robin as he blocked the door from Cyborg. "I don't think he is in a good mood this morning."
