Okay, it has certainly been a while since I wrote fanfiction. I must say, I am not sure if I will please my readers. Nevertheless, hope you enjoy.
Perhaps the weather should have been an indication to something odd that day. It was surprising clear and perfect after a week of rain and thunderstorms. It did not help that the humidity had skyrocketed for the past few days making everyone's hair, except a lucky few, to gain a life of their own. Beastboy was sure that he has used up his month's quota of gel to ensure that his hair would not poof up into an afro…which he had to admit would ridiculously funny on his rather skinny frame. Beastboy had almost forgone the gel in the hopes that it would make Raven laugh but the mere thought of her brought the other Titans in mind and he had a feeling that Cyborg would attempt to sneak a picture for blackmail sakes. He definitely did not want the rest of the world to see him like that. Beastboy glanced and the view outside his ceiling-to-floor length window and smiled. It looked like a lovely day to be outside. He was just praying that no villain would feel the same. He turned back to his full length mirror and scrutinized himself again and grinned. It was certainly a great day. Over the past few weeks, he realised he had hit his growth spurt. He had screamed "finally!" and Cyborg had merely muttered something about it being time and that he was really late at getting to it. Beastboy supposed that hitting your growth spurt at the age of eighteen might have been pushing it a little. He himself had feared that he would not grow taller than his former height but now his inner instincts were telling him that he might begin to rival Cyborg. He wondered if it had anything to do with being able to turn into a giraffe but then shook his head at the mental image of himself with a ridiculously long neck. Returning to present, he decided he needed to adjust his suit again so he merely donned civil clothes and strolled out of his room with a smirk plastered onto his face.
Robin had chosen that precise time to walk out of the bathroom; paused upon seeing Beastboy in civil clothing and smiled at Beastboy, giving him a silent congratulation. Beastboy's grin only grew wider. Cyborg then stepped out of his room, almost eerily the same time as Starfire who peck Robin on the cheek and smiled at the remaining two boys. Cyborg took one look at Beastboy and groaned. He had feeling that the changeling would be gloating for the rest of the day. However, he was happy for the boy, Beastboy was teased a little too much regarding his height and his growth spurt was ding wonders to his self esteem. Cyborg only wished the growth spurt had been accompanied with a little maturity. The changeling still behaved as a young petulant adolescent from time to time or an incurable prankster during the other times. He seemed to retain his pre-pubescent mentality.
"Mornin', y'all!" Cyborg yawned. The Titan party last night had worn everyone out. Having all the Titans under one roof made an excellent party when you forgot you were the host. The amount of mess made only hit Cyborg when everyone left. Perhaps spiking the punch had not been a good idea. No one had paid regard that this was his twenty-second birthday party. It seemed that when it came to down to clean up, everyone had to pitch in.
"Good morning friends!" Starfire exclaimed. As expected of the bubble of happiness of the Titans tower, Starfire was bright eyed and perky as usual.
"Morning…" Robin groaned out. Upon close inspection, it was easy to see that Robin was nursing a hang over. Finally being of legal age to drink did nothing to help the martial artist. Perhaps it was his rather strict lifestyle that made his tipsy after just a few sips of the punch. Cyborg once again felt a little guilty upon seeing Robin's miserable face but was reconciled when he remembered Starfire's face last night and how estatic she was upon a tipsy Robin cuddling up to her and hugging her in public. Cyborg almost smirked but somehow, Robin seemed to guess what was going on in Cyborg's brain and sent him a small glare, one that would not aggravate the raging headache that he was now walking around with. However, this situation did have its upside. He was able to use his hangover as an excuse to hold onto Starfire without the boys teasing him about it. However, he was a little unnerved with the way Beastboy was staring at him with that knowing smirk on his lips. The changeling merely tapped his nose twice before walking ahead of the couple and joining Cyborg to indulge in their usual bicker about tofu or bacon for breakfast.
The slidding doors to the common room slid open and Robin's head hit Cyborg's metal body with the resounding 'thunk'. While Robin was clutching his head and bemoaning his face, Starfire peered around Beastboy and Cyborg and froze wide-eyed just as they had.
Beastboy was not sure if this was a dream, a nightmare or reality.
Cyborg was sure he would have to recheck his wiring and memory chips.
Starfire was completely bewildered.
Robin finally got over the throbbing in his head and peered around Cyborg only to freeze as they did. He felt his eye twitch a little, wondered if he was still drunk and resigned himself for another round of mind-numbing headaches.
Before the four Titans was a sea of Ravens.
Okay so this is the first chapter. I will try to put the next one up as soon as possible… Which will be quite soon… Read and Review (if you would like to).
