Chapter 1: No missions
"That's so not fair, you always win!" Beastboy whined.
"It is to fair! You just won't admit that I'm better than you!", Cyborg shouted back with a very smug grin on his face.
"Well- you cheated I know it!" the small grass stain accused.
"Now how in the world do you cheat at video games? I'd like to know. I could beat your little green hinny even more!", the tall cybernetic man teased.
"Ha. Ha. Very funny. You just got lucky this time. I've beat your metal butt loads of times.", Beastboy told Cyborg matter-of- factly before stomping off toward the kitchen.
"Man, what kind of drugs is BB taking, 'cuz they're really messing with his already confused mind." Cyborg muttered to himself shaking his head.
"What was that?"
The half-man, half-robot turned to met his slightly down leader. "Uh…I didn't say anything". He tried to put on an innocent face.
"Whatever you say man.", the Boy Wonder replied, without the slightest trace of being convinced.
Robin slowly started to drag his feet to the kitchen. Seeing his leader down in the dumps, Cyborg tried his best to cheer him up. "Cheer up man! It's a good thing, not savin' the city every two minutes. It means that we've done a good job protectin' it", he said while placing a comforting hand on Robin's shoulder.
"Yea or it means they're gonna raid the city all at once." Robin said sarcastically.
"Never thought of it like that" Cyborg shrugged.
A sudden shriek of despair came from the kitchen. Robin and Cyborg ran to the kitchen, each grabbing or forming their own weapon of protection. Robin arrived at the kitchen retracting his beloved bo-staff. He scanned the room for the problem. Next to him, Cyborg was aiming his sonic cannon in the in the same direction that he and Robin were observing the barren room.
Beastboy, who was sitting at the table, had a terrified expression on his face also looking about the room for trouble. Robin, first to find the cause of the shriek walked over to a statuette of Starfire. "Star, what's the matter?" Immediately the statuette sprang to life and leapt into the masked leader's arms.
"R-R-Robin?" the beautiful Tameranian asked weakly.
"What is it Star?" He was now supporting her and gently running his fingers through her thick, red hair.
She looked up at him with her lovely, huge, jade orbs. "We-we have nothing for dinner besides the disgusting soy product that only Beastboy consumes" She sounded as if she was about to die from starvation. Robin chuckled lightly, admiring her cuteness.
"It's alright Star, we can go to the Pizza Place for dinner."
She hugged him, cutting off his supply of oxygen momentarily before letting go. Robin felt color rising in his cheeks. "That would be wonderful! Hurry, we must go right now for I am extremely hungry" and with that she took off at the speed of light towards the T-car. Cyborg, who had been watching the two, quickly stopped snickering and ran after Starfire.
"Hey do NOT touch the car unless I am in the room!"
Not hearing him Starfire continued to fly to the garage. "Hey! Didn't you hear me?" he asked. "Don't you dare!" the door closed with a "whoosh" behind him. Now laughing, Robin turned to Beastboy. "Coming?"
"Sure. But let me finish my sandwich first", he shoved the whole thing in his mouth. "Ofay, I'm rerey" Beastboy managed to get out. It was a true miracle that he didn't spray food everywhere. "Um…..okay?" Robin replied slowly, attempting to decode the new form of language that BB just used. Finally figuring out what Beastboy meant Robin asked him, "Well if you're ready could you go get Raven and ask her if she wants to come? I think she's in her room." Beastboy, at last managing to swallow the thing without to much difficulty, replied with eagerness "Sure, I'll meet you in the car."
Lately, Beastboy had felt a little different around Raven. Every time he saw her his heart began to beat like a bongo and he had trouble just talking to her. He was afraid that he would say something wrong or offensive. He had always thought that she was a really good friend, even his best friend but the mere idea of him liking her more than a friend was plain outrageous. Beastboy gave all of this a lot of thought; in fact he was so deep in thought that he didn't realize that he had been standing outside of her door for about two minutes. He blinked a few times and shook his head as though that would help him get these thoughts out of his mind. Cautiously, he knocked on Raven's room door.
Raven was in her room quietly meditating trying uselessly to get rid of a dull headache. She had a lot of things and emotions to figure out. Like the fact that every time she was around Beastboy he stuttered a ton and he kept starring at her with his nice, caring, evergreen eyes. Wait…nice and caring evergreen eyes? Was she losing it? But when she saw him her heart fluttered and she found it hard to breath. Did that mean that she liked him? Well she did like him but not romantically, just as a friend. Or did she? The more she meditated the worse her headache got. Raven's concentration was broken by a knock on her door.
She walked over to her steal door, thinking of who would ever think of interrupting her while she was meditating. Only one person came to mind. Raven opened the door just enough for her to see who it was. Much to her surprise she found Beastboy.
It took a few seconds for Raven to open her door but Beastboy waited patiently (for the first time in his life). The large door opened just enough for half of her body to show. One beautiful amethyst eye glared down at him. He suddenly realized that he most likely just interrupted her meditation. His heart started to beat so loudly that she probably could hear it too. Beastboy forgot the whole reason that he was here in the first place. That is until Raven spoke. "Did you come here just to look at me or is there something that you needed to ask me?" Beastboy continued to stare at her for a few more seconds before answering. "Um… yeah. Do-do y-you want to c-come get some pizza with me? I-I-I mean us?"
She glared at him, but not in a I'm-so-gonna-kill-you-for-interupting-my-meditation-just-so-you-could-ask-me-that -question kinda look. It was a look of confusion and questioning. Why was Beastboy stuttering? She decided not give the question any further thought. "Yea I'd like to go get pizza with you-I mean you guys." She finished hoping Beastboy would over look her mistake. Hold up a second. Did Raven, part demon of darkness, just say that she would go get pizza with Beastboy even if the others didn't come? She was going to have to meditate when she got back home.
Beastboy had a looked of wonder on his face. Did Raven just say that she would go get pizza with him even if the others didn't come? He decided it was wise not to press the matter. "Uh… cool… the others are-are waiting so let's go."
"Right… lead the way" she replied in the usual monotone voice.
"Man! What 's taking them so long?" Robin asked impatiently.
"They're probably just makin' out or sometin'." Cyborg smirked at the thought.
"We weren't making out!" yelled an embarrassed Beastboy as they were getting in the T-car. It slowly pulled out of the garage.
"You better not have." growled their leader.
"Do you honestly believe that I would do something like that?" Raven asked.
"Ya want the truth?" the hybrid whispered to himself.
Before Raven could answer him(and yes she DID hear him) Starfire asked everyone, "Please friends what is this" "making out"?" when no one spoke Robin just said "Nothing important." and the subject was dropped.
"Yes! We are here at last!" cried Starfire.
They took the elevator to the second floor and got their favorite outside table. When the waiter arrived Beastboy wasted not time ordering. "Hello! We'd like two extra large pizzas."
"And what would like on them sir?" the waiter droned.
"Meat!" "Vegetable!" Cyborg and Beastboy argued. By now everyone else on the team was used to their childish bickering over meat and vegetable so they knew what to get.
"One medium vegetable and two extra large meat pizzas with five cokes please", Starfire ordered politely. (they all were very hungry!)
"One medium vegetable pizza, two extra large meat pizzas and five cokes" repeated the unenthusiastic waiter.
"Yes please!" all answered in unison. (Cyborg and Beastboy had stopped arguing once the others ordered.)
Soon the waiter, Jake, returned with the five cokes. They thanked him and quickly engaged in conversation. "I don't have a lead on Slade, Red X, Cinderblock, or anybody. They all just disappeared." Robin told the team moodily.
"It's okay man, chill. Even the villains need to take a break." Cyborg said to Robin.
"Yea, but all at once?" Raven questioned with a little bit of anger and confusion laced in her voice.
"I just wish I knew where they were, what they're doing." Robin stated punching the table out of frustration.
"Robin, please do not hit the table. We will find them. It will be okay." Starfire said soothingly. Robin could always count on Star to make him feel better. He took in a long, deep breath. She seemed to take all of his troubles away just by sitting next to him. "Your right Star. Your right."
"What did I…?" Cyborg began but never finished. Raven just sent him the death glare.
An awkward silence soon filled the atmosphere. A few minutes later it was broken by Beastboy's happy cheer, "Hurray the pizza's here!"
