You And I Collide

Prologue

A/N:

I'm really excited for this fic. The plot/ideas are based off this great bollywood movie Hum Tum. It's about how two people constantly run into each other and discover their true feelings. The pairing in this fan-fic is Speedy x Rae.

This is an entry in Alena-Chan's challenge.

Setting:

A young woman and her mother, who looked closely alike with their violet hair and amethyst lavender eyes are seen standing in the airport. Raven, the name of the young woman was sighted holding her luggage and conversing with her mother, Arella.

"Oh, have a safe trip, honey. Remember to call me right after your plane has landed. I packed some sandwiches and cookies into your bag, just in case the airline is serving bad food," she told her daughter, embracing her in a hug, careful to not let her tears spill.

"Mom, I'll be fine," Raven told her mother as she pulled away from the hug, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.

"Call me right after your plane has landed."

Raven couldn't help to smile. Her mother was so good and only cared for her. "I will. I promise."

Her mother embraced her into another hug and then pulled away. "I'll miss you. There'll be no one around the house."

"There's Chip," Raven offered. Chip was their Golden Retriever.

Arella sighed. "I guess."

"Bye mom," she said, embracing her mother in one last hug before clutching her luggage and starting to walk. She showed the flight attendant her ticket and was let in.

"Bye," Arella whispered as she too started to walk away.

Meanwhile…

A tall woman with auburn hair and oceanic eyes, just like her son who was sitting next to her, stood at the airport. They were, at the moment, arguing. The son wore a black t-shirt that read in white bold letters: "Damage The Peace" and matching baggy pants.

"How come you didn't shave? You didn't take a shower either and"-she gasped-"you didn't even put deodorant to cover it up!"

"Your hair's also a mess. Be thankful that I'm your mother," she added as she took out a comb and some perfume.

"Mom!" the man shrieked as his mother began to comb his messy auburn hair and spray perfume all over his body.

"Mother, I'm starting to question if you know that I am a man."


She raised an eyebrow. "Of course I know that."

"Well, then. A real man can take care of himself and wouldn't be wearing perfume."

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "If this man could take care of himself, I would be grateful. This man always lies and he could simply explain that some or a lot of perfume rubbed off of him when he was around this girl."

He widened his eyes. "That's not a bad explanation. Could you at least stop?" he asked as he gazed towards a couple of girls who giggled as they walked past him. "People and especially girls are thinking that I'm feminine which means they think I'm gay," he sighed.

She rolled her eyes once more and shook her head. "Well, then just put on this mask that you always like to wear and you can hide your identity," she handed him a black mask that covered his eyes.

He grinned. "Clever."

He hugged her and pulled away after a few moments. "I have to go now. My flight is ready to board."

"Bye, Roy."

"Bye," he replied softly, slowly walking to enter into the flight.

Later on the airplane…

Roy Harper gazed around, looking for a suitable seat to sit in. The only available seats were next to this chubby man who was eating (attacking in Roy's opinion) a taco, some of it spilling on his t-shirt and then this girl (who he thought looked pretty) that was reading a book, while listening to some music. Picking the obvious choice (sorry, it's not the chubby man eating a taco) he chose to sit next to the girl.

He placed his bag down next to him and gazed over towards the girl. "Hi. I'm Roy Harper."

She didn't reply. She probably wasn't able to hear him.

"I'm Roy Harper," he repeated loudly.

She raised an eyebrow and placed her headphones on her neck. "Raven Roth."

He nodded before she placed the headphones back on her ears.

He gazed over towards the monitor screen where they were showing the movie Mrs. Doubtfire.

For twenty minutes, he watched it and then when he noticed that the girl, Raven, put her headphones away, he decided that he would ask her for the magazine. You see, he then would be able to strike up a conversation. This was part of his plan.

"Can I have the magazine?" Raven asked politely.

He frowned. "Here," handing it to her.

Hour after…

Roy was bored out of his mind and he was disappointed since he didn't even say more than five words to Raven. (He only said four.) He was going to change that. He would talk to her, even if the subject was pointless.

"Y'know. I can tell a girl's preference of things."

Raven raised an eyebrow but kept her focus on the book she was eating.

He continued. "Like whether or not she likes tea or coffee."

She nodded, biting her lip to prevent her to say anything.

"You seem to be a girl who likes coffee. Usually, girls who like drinking coffee stand out and crash parties."

She bit her lip again, this time to prevent her from bursting out laughter.

The flight attendant walked over to their section and began to take orders. Moments later, she reached Speedy and Raven.

"Would you two like anything to drink, eat?"

Roy shook his head.

However, Raven ordered. "I would like a cup of tea. Could you use milk instead of water? Oh, and I would like only two tablespoons of sugar."

"Certainly ma'am." Roy widened his eyes and sighed. He must've sounded like a complete idiot when he mentioned that she liked tea. He buried his head in one of the magazines.

The next late morning…


Setting:

The plane has landed in New York. Passengers are exiting the plane and walking into the airport.


"Hey, Raven!"

Raven stopped walking as she then turned around, wondering who called her name. Her eyes landed on Roy, who was waving to her. A sigh escaped from her lips.

"Remember me? I'm-"

"Roy," Raven completed.

"Yeah! So, I was wondering if you wanted to sight-see with me. I mean we're only going to be here for a couple of hours before we have to go back onto the plane."

Raven opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She didn't know how to refuse him, so she didn't. She bit her lip. "Sure."

"Great!" Roy replied enthusiastically.

"Great," Raven repeated flatly.

"Where do you want to go first?" Roy asked as they started to walk towards the exit.
