Damien suspects beast boy and raven have been involved with one another since he'd been away
Dick on the phone with Bruce.
Rachel realizes and lurks in the hall eavesdropping
Dick says nothing much else and as he hangs up Rachel walks in as if she heard nothing.
"Hey, Rachel. You missed breakfast." Dick concerned
"Well, I wasn't much in the mood.. who was you on the phone with?" Pouring coffee pretending to be oblivious
"It was Bruce. Uh. Him and Damien seem to be getting along well."
"Oh. That's good." She sips her coffee
"Look.. I know when he left he didn't say much. But has he contacted you?"
"No. I don't expect him to." Rachel hiding her feelings of feeling abandoned.
Gar was listening as he and Jamie was playing cards.
"Don't think about it." Jamie mouths
"What?" Gar shrugs
"I know what you're thinking. Don't try it."
"Pft.. Am not." Gar knows Raven isn't into him but he's always liked her but knew they weren't compatible meaning she would shew him away at the thought of them together.
"Refill?" He quickly says before getting up.
"Gar!" Jamie grunted before feeling embarrassed knowing he's going to make a tool of himself.
"Hey, Rae." Gar approaches her
She glares at him.
"I was wondering if you'd show me some meditation skills?"
"Really? You.. want to meditate?"
"Well yea! You make it look really.. fun!" He tries to make up
"Uh huh.. Well, I'm off to do it right now if you're interested."
"Sure. Be right there. " Gar plays it cool and waits for her to leave and boasts to Jamie.
"It's not a date. You're meditating. Plus she's gonna smell what you're up to"
"Dude. Please. Once she sees past Damien is gone she's gonna be all over me"
"It's so sad you think that" Jamie laughs
Gar enters in Ravens room.
"Hey. So let's get our meditation on." Gar rubbing his hands together.
"Well first you need to relax.. be calm. Quiet. Which might be a challenge but I guess anything is possible"
She instructs him to sit his legs crossed and how to inhale and exhale.
"Now.. allow your mind to lift."
As he pretends to meditate he peeks at her doing so and once a moment passes he breaks it
"Well that was fun. Now what do you wanna do?"
"Ugh. Gar! You don't just go 30 seconds and then stop." Raven annoyed
"Well maybe this is just how I begin things. Take it slow. I'm a patient guy."
"Heh. Sure. You can go now if you want" she attempts to meditate again
"Or.. you and I could do something together."
"Us? Like what?"
"We could go to a movie?"
"I guess.. shouldn't we invite the others?"
"Oh.. I would but um they all got plans. Yep already asked them.. so no need for you to do that." He nervously points out
"Um ok. Let me grab my coat."
Gar and Rachel head out to the movies.
"What you wanna see, Mama?" As the look at the shows playing. "What about a rom com?"
"No thanks. What about this one?"
"The blob? Are you sure? It's kind of old and um-" Gar trying to deter her from something that won't put her in a soft mood.
"We're watching it." Raven ordered and grabbed his hand to follow
"Uh ok." Gar immediately going along with it
As they sit in their seats the movie is playing.
As the movie continues Gar and Rachel go for popcorn at the same time and bump into one another's hands.
"Oh-Sorry" they both stutter at once
They immediately feel awkward
"Go ahead,Rae."
"Wow. Letting me go first when there's food involved. Quite an improvement."
"Well, I'm a flexible guy, Rae."
She raises her brows
"Oh. Not like that, I mean I am, but- Ok I'm sorry. I'll shut up." He stuttered and made himself look silly
It made raven giggle a little as they enjoyed the movie.
The movie ended and they walked back home.
"So.. what exactly had you to want us to see a movie tonight?" Rachel asked out of suspense
"Well.. we never done it before.. and well I felt you kinda needed it.. and I don't know maybe I did too." He rubs his neck
"What do you mean?"
"Well I don't know.. I mean I still hurt from what Terra did to me.. and I guess I felt maybe you understand.."
"Oh.. I'm sorry for your pain.. but I don't care about Damien. He made his choice. I respect it"
"Come on, Rachel. You feel. It's okay to admit it."
She was quiet.
"Look Rae. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"No. It's okay. I guess maybe it stung a little." Raven admitting
"Well.. if it means anything.. I think anyone who could leave you behind needs psychological help. Like I'm talking brain juiced" gar making Rachel laugh
They got home and Gar walked Rachel to her room.
"Um. I had a nice time." Rachel looked to the floor
"Me too. Maybe we can do it again sometime" Gar stuttered
"I'd like that."
