First Date

"In the car I just can't wait, to pick you up on our very first date."

"A carnival?" Raven asked the archer as he parked his bike.

"Well yeah. I'm not as rich as you-know-who and there are no good movies to watch." Speedy said shrugging. "I hope it's alright Rae." Raven nodded. "Of course, I mean I've only been to the carnival once." Speedy raised a brow. "He never took you to the carnival when you were together?" she nodded again. "Yeah, I think he thought I wouldn't appreciate it if he did." She added.

Their gaze suddenly fell to a family sharing a pink cotton candy. Speedy turned his gaze to Raven who seems to be distraught at the scene. "You okay Raven?" Raven took a deep breath and replied in a soft voice. "I'm fine. Just remembered something." Speedy bit his inner cheek. 'Probably about Robin.' He thought bitterly. "So, are we just gonna stand here?" Raven's voice brought him back to reality. He held his hand out for her. "Let's go!"

"When you smile, I melt inside. I'm not worthy for a minute of your time."

Speedy watched as Raven throw a dart at the biggest balloon on the board. A loud 'pop' indicated that she made a perfect hit. He silently chuckled. 'Who knew the Dark Bird has a perfect aim?' "Nice aim. Never thought you have it in you." He joked Raven smirked at him. "There are a lot of things you don't know about me." The man at the booth gave her a huge brown teddy bear. "Here you go lady. First prize!" he said in a British accent. Raven smiled at the man and walked away with Speedy.

"You like teddy bears?" Speedy asked in disbelief when he saw Raven hugged it close. "Yes. Is there any problem with that?" she asked looking at him with a questioning look. "Nope. Just surprised." He said. Raven rolled her eyes. "Just because I'm a creepy, emotionless, half-demon bookworm doesn't mean that I can't be a teddy bear person." She countered. "Hey…" Speedy started. "You're not creepy. You're just different, unique." He finished, looking straight in her eyes. Raven smiled at him. "Thanks. Why don't we grab some popcorn and try a few rides." She said before walking towards a popcorn stand.

Speedy was rooted on his spot. Amazed about her smile. The first smile she gave him. He smirked to himself. He'll make sure that he'll make that smile come out more often.

"Let's go, don't wait, this night's almost over. Honest, let's make this night last forever."

"Shouldn't we just wait on the ground to watch fireworks rather than in a Ferris wheel?" Raven asked as she watched the Ferris wheel rotate taking them higher in the night sky. "Oh please, being in a Ferris wheel watching fireworks is much more amazing." As if on cue, the fireworks started to light the night sky. Raven watched from the Ferris wheel. 'Speedy's right.' She thought as she take in the wondrous sight of fireworks display.

Speedy, on the other hand, was not interested in the fireworks. He was, rather interested on a certain bird beside him. He watched as the lights created by the fireworks reflect on Raven's pale ivory skin and amethyst. The breeze making her hair flow gently. His breath was suddenly taken away when she closed her eyes and unconsciously smiled.

She's the most magnificent women he'd ever seen.

"Speedy?" He smiled genuinely. "Yes?" Raven suddenly leaned into his chest and wrapped her arms around him. "Thank you." He wrapped his arms around her body as well and didn't utter a word.

This is the best first date he'll ever have.

"Forever and ever, let's make this last forever."
