Bad News
"Ohmaigawd! Have you heard that the world is going to end tomorrow at midnight?" An over-dressed girl chattered a mile a minute to her friend.
"You must live under a rock if you haven't!" Her big-hair friend shrilled, jumping up and down excitedly. "It's all over the media!"
"What? What're they talking about?" Beast Boy overheard.
"Something about the world coming to an end." Cyborg replied.
"Oh." The little green boy continued playing Space Invaders.
"Are you going to school tomorrow?" The big-hair girl squeaked.
"I don't want to spend my last few hours at school! What a big waste." The over-dressed girl exclaimed.

"Hey, you guys hear the news?" A boy wearing sandals and socks sat on the stoop of his apartment with his buddies.
"What?" His friend bearing a long braid watched Starfire and Raven.
"The sky is falling!" The boy wearing sandals and socks yelled.
"Okay." The friend stared coldly as the two girls past by.
"Raven, that boy with the braided hair, sitting on the stoop is making me feel uneasy." Starfire whispered, switching to Raven's left side.
"Don't pay attention to him." Raven replied, looking straight ahead.
"Dude, stop staring at those girls and listen! The world is coming to an end!" The sandal-sock boy grabbed his pigtail friend by the shoulders and violently shaking him.

Robin strolled by two elderly grandpas playing chess in the park.
"I've finally cornered your king." The one with no hair declared.
"Oh yea?" The other senior grinned toothlessly. "Watch this!" The senior shifted his black bishop.
The bald man stared at the board, then he said, "Fifty years ago, the ancient ones predicted that the world end someday. That someday is tomorrow." The bald senior shifted his rook.
"Haha, I guess that means you'll never have a chance beat me in the future if there is no tomorrow." The toothless man howled with laughter, slapping his knee.
"I will beat you, in the next minute!" The bald male announced.
The toothless senior stared right at Robin. "What are you looking at sonny?"
Robin, caught off guard, "Eh, um, nothing."
"You know what? In the next fifty years, you'll look like me!" The toothless senior guffawed.
"Too bad he won't live to see it. Hurry up, it's your turn, old man, before world ends." The bald elder muttered.

At the Teen Tower, everything is the usual. Maybe a little too quiet. Corny music was blared from the Gamestation game Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing. Raven was quietly meditating with Starfire. Robin was doing dish duty. Suddenly, the screen blacked out, the water stopped running, and the City's twilight flickered off. They all talked over each other.
"Did you guys know." Cyborg pried Beast Boy from his head.
"Well, I overheard that." Starfire twirled around to her friends.
"Probably a rumor." Raven said, still meditating
"I knew this was going to happen." Robin stripped off his yellow dish washing gloves.
"I don't know about you but." Beast Boy leaped out of Cyborg's arms.
"THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!" The Titans exclaimed at once.
"What! How did you know?" Cyborg asked.
"If you don't know then you must be living under a rock!" Beast Boy quoted the girls from Jump City.
The Titans stare him down.
"Eh, hehehe."
"So. I heard it was going to happen tomorrow midnight." Cyborg remarked.
"What tragic news! That means there is only twenty-four hours for us to live life until it's the end!" Starfire cried.
"What? Twenty-four hours to live life to the fullest?" Beast Boy exclaimed.
Raven rolled her eyes; "The world is definitely not going to end."
"How do you know?" Beast Boy countered. "What am I going to do for twenty- four hours?" He reverted into a thinking position.
"This is probably another rumor formed on the Internet. I agree with Raven, we should all resume life. So far, the government didn't confirm this." Robin declared.
"Maybe because they didn't want any chaos, riot or trouble in the City. You know how some people are." Starfire quickly added.
"What! I'm not going to waste my precious time arguing. I want to live life to the fullest from now on." Beast Boy announced, "This means, PARTY in the City!"
"Don't you want to spend the last minutes of your life with your dearest friends?" Starfire asked.
"Sorry guys, I'm out." Beast Boy exited.
"He'll be back once he finds out it's all a hoax." Raven said.
"Coming back with his tail between his legs."
