Meeting You

Beyond the Stars (Part 2)

*Beyond the Stars* Part 2

It was in the second week of May when Raven had her bridesmaids at the tower for another one of their meetings. They had taken care of business earlier that morning and had currently been lounging around in Raven's bedroom. Kole was on about her new experience of laser tag with Mas, Menos, and Pantha the day before. And Melvin had been sour the whole day with Beast boy taking her brothers to the indoor water park.

Starfire brought an orange slice to her lips and changed the subject. "Have you already completed the packing?"

"For your honeymoon?" Jinx added while she was spread out on the floor beside Kole.

Raven shrugged her shoulders. "I still have a week left to do it."

Melvin's eyebrows pulled together in confusion. "What's a honeymoon?"

"Um, it's a vacation for couples." Argent was quick to answer the child.

Bumblebee seemed to be stressing just as much as Raven had been throughout the whole planning process. "Seriously, Raven? You haven't packed yet?"

Starfire's eyes darted between the two women, "You have never done the procrastinating as I recall."

Raven stared up at the ceiling from on her bed and pulled her quilt to rest under her chin. "I might've lost track of time, so what?"

Argent sighed at her friend's response. "I'll print you off a check list. You better pack by tonight."

Raven nodded in agreement before she was lost in Jinx's story about her horrid bad luck experience. The subjects continued to rotate until they had finally caught up with each other's lives. It had been only the next day when Raven was hounded about her packing again. Starfire didn't buy her answer that it had been completed. Therefore, Starfire insisted in revising the check off list to double check. They were back in her dark room which was odd as she even let the women enter.

But then again when Beast boy and Raven would return from their honeymoon, her room would no longer be the same. Supposedly, the wall would be torn down to join the two rooms together. And Cyborg and Robin already had new renovation plans that extended to the rest of the tower. It would be the last week of it being just her room but she didn't mind in the least.

"Tooth brush?" Kole sat on the floor, her back against the bed and held up the printed list. Melvin was stretched out on the end of the bed and peeked over Kole's shoulder.

"Packed." Raven said.

Starfire sat on the black swivel chair from Robin's room. "Swimsuit?"

"Packed." Raven groaned. She had only been enduring seven minutes of it so far. "Do we honestly have to this?"

"Better to be prepared." Bumblebee rested her hand on small pregnant stomach. "That and I wanna know if you really did pack like you said you were."

Bumblebee was roughly twelve weeks pregnant and Starfire was nearly fourteen weeks along. Raven thought back to when both pregnancies had been announced in the months of January and February. And she wasn't the only one who had been surprised about her teammates' discoveries. Robin and Cyborg had both been quite flustered and made quite a laughable scene as both women had decided to announce their pregnancies the same night.

Raven groaned, "My luggage is right there." She gestured towards the far wall in room. Sure enough a large lavender suitcase and a small carry-on bag occupied the space. "Shouldn't that be enough proof?"
