Hey dudes and dudettes! Just like the title said, some strange mind-crap which floated through my brain, with our favorite gang of heroes (still don't own them though...) Enjoy and SMILE!
Strange
„I got another one! Remember those black birds with the red eyes and the teeth in their beaks we met in Nevermore?" Beast Boy chuckled.
"Good one, grass stain! But if you talk about Nevermore I think this pink landscape with the floating strawberries was way stranger!" Cyborg replied between gasps and laughs.
Starfire approached the two friends who lay on the couch joking around and inquired: "Friends, may I ask what is so amusing? Maybe I could partake in the fun?"
"Yo, Star! We're playing 'the strangest thing'. Ever played before?" the half-metal teen asked.
"How do you play the game of the strangest thing?" she wondered.
"Easy as cake, Star. You tell us what had been the strangest thing you ever saw and then the others, meaning Cy and me, have to come up with something even more strange, and so on. The winner is the one who can bring up the strangest thing of all!" the changeling explained.
The alien girl clapped her hands in excitement and said: "That sounds like very much fun, friends! Please, let's play!"
"Okay, I'll start: the strangest thing I ever saw was… Cyborg taking a shower with a pink shower cap on his head!" Beast Boy threw in.
He and Starfire laughed out loud at the picture, while the one in question huffed in annoyance: "Oh yeah? Well the strangest thing I ever saw was Beasty getting hugged from Raven before I hit him with a stank ball!"
"Wow, dude, not cool! You promised to…" the green teen protested.
But the alien princess interfered: "My turn! The strangest thing I ever saw was…" she looked at both boys before she ended her dramatic pause, "Friend Raven laughing out loud! Really loud and uncontrollably!"
The other two froze and gawked at her in astonishment.
"The-the real Raven? Our Raven? For real?" Beast Boy stuttered, not able to believe that someone had accomplished what he had been trying for years.
"When? Where? How? With whom? And why?" the half-robot questioned in confusion.
She smugly stated: "Remember the day friend Raven has done the cooking of the Doctor Light for the very first time? And we came back for breakfast and she blew up the tofu-eggs, and you two were gone for a while and friend Raven wasn't feeling so well so friend Robin and I went to check on her on the roof? Well, she sat there meditating and when we spoke to her she suddenly busted out in laughter. Friend Robin and I were very scared that moment and friend Raven disappeared telling us about her need to be alone. The next time we saw her she came out of her room with you two…"
The boys exchanged a knowing glance, remembering that day clearly as the one they had ventured through Ravens mind, Nevermore. Beast Boy felt relieved to know that his life's purpose hadn't been fulfilled by someone else. Raven had apparently laughed out loud in the real world when they had met Happy Raven…
"Okay, I guess you win, Star. Man, I really wish I could have seen that…" Cyborg declared with a cocky grin.
"BEAST BOY!"
The loud shout, apparently coming from their leader interrupted their game.
"Whoops, gotta go!" the green teen smirked and transformed into a fly, buzzing out of the room in this form.
The very second the green fly disappeared from their sight an enraged Robin entered the room – clad in pink camouflage.
"Where is he? Where is the green pest?" he growled menacingly.
Starfire and Cyborg tried to stifle their laughter, but to no avail.
Right in this moment Raven entered the living room area, attracted by the noise.
"You owe me fifty bugs, Robin. I told you to not challenge Beast Boy…" she deadpanned.
He grumbled something incomprehensible and crossed the arms in front of his chest in a pouting manner.
"Tell us… what … ha-happened, please… friend" the redheaded girl managed to pant between her laughing fits.
Raven looked at the Boy Wonder as she explained: "Well, genius over here replied to Beast Boys question when he finally would get driving lessons with the words, I quote, 'when traffic lights will be in pink camouflage', end of the quote."
Then she gestured in a presentation manner towards Robin and added in monotone: "Tadaa."
This caused the two on the couch to howl in laughter and the pink clad teen to blush in anger.
"He will pay for this!" he spat as he left.
"Oh, this is so going on YouTube!" Cyborg cackled and was gone too, to post the video his mechanical eye had automatically shot and tell the other Titans around the world about it.
Raven just rolled her eyes and muttered: "I'll be in my room, if anyone is looking for me…"
When Starfire had come down from her laughing fit and realized she was left alone, she stretched herself and laid down on the couch.
Maybe she had to reconsider her strangest thing she ever saw… Living with Raven and Beast Boy under the same roof could make you do this. Although they both were so different – while he was bubbly, energetic and fun-loving, she was sarcastic, introverted and dark – they were the ones who mostly made her laugh.
Still in the mood of the game they played before they got interrupted, Starfire wondered how strange it would be if her most opposite team mates would have reversed characters.
With this thought in mind, she dozed off…
They stood on the shore of the island where the T-Tower would soon be build, it was right after they had beaten the Gordanians and freed her, Starfire, from the enslavement.
"That's quite a view!" Raven exclaimed loudly and grinned.
Cyborg chuckled at her and said: "Yeah, somebody ought to build a house outta here…"
"Sure, if you like sunshine and the beach…" Beast Boy snorted in a grouchy tone.
The empath laughed out loud, poked her elbow in the green boys' side and said: "You know, you're kinda funny!"
He raised an eyebrow at her and gave her a questioning look.
"You think I'm funny? Yeah, right, I know so many jokes" he replied sarcastically, causing the dark clad girl to laugh again.
Everything went blurry and the scene changed.
"Come on, BB! You know you wanna try it!" Raven tempted while she floated on her back, her head upside down and holding a game station controller out to the reading changeling.
He shortly lifted his gaze from the thick book he was reading, glared at her in annoyance and growled: "Raven, I said no! And it's still Beast Boy!"
"Aw, don't be all grouchy, BB! It'll be fun! Just one little race and I'll leave you alone with your book, I promise!" she demanded with puppy dog eyes.
"Stop bugging me, Raven" Beast Boy replied as he turned the page.
"Aaaww, pleaaaase!" she now started to pull her lips into a pout, her eyes slightly watering.
He knew he shouldn't look up at her, he could smell the tears forming in the corner of her eyes. Not that they came because she really was sad, no, he knew exactly what she was doing. She gave him 'the look'. Nobody resisted 'the look' when performed by Raven, not even him. Still he had to give her a glance, he couldn't resist. Why had she to be so damn cute while begging?
"Fine, one race, that's it!" he snarled.
"Whoohoo!" she cheered and performed a looping in the air, which soon was interrupted by an enraged yell.
"RAVEEEEEN!" their leader could be heard through the whole tower.
She froze in mid-air and started to chuckle: "Sorry, BB, gotta delay our game!"
"What did you do this time?" the changeling deadpanned.
But she already had disappeared in a black vortex, so he shrugged and picked up his book again. At least there was no one interrupting him anymore…
"Where is she? Where is this purple-haired pest?" Robin shouted as he entered – clad in pink camouflage.
"Robin, can you keep it down? I'm trying to read. And I told you not to challenge her with that traffic-light-comment; it had to backfire on you. Besides, you owe me fifty bugs now…" Beast Boy stated evenly.
"This time she will pay for it, I tell you! This was the last straw! If she thinks she can get driving lessons after this STUPID STUNT-" the leader of the Teen Titans got on, his voice rising further by every word and annoying an already annoyed green teen…
Suddenly, the Boy Wonder was pinned to the floor by a grown, green Siberian tiger, which growled menacingly at him before it turned back human.
"How many times have I to tell you to. Keep. It. Down? Does enhanced hearing mean nothing specific to you?" Beast Boy hissed dangerously.
"Um… uh…S-sorry, Beast Boy, I guess… I lost control for a second… hehe…" Robin tried to apologize nervously. When Beast Boy was in one of those moods you better not offend him…
"Hey, no fair, why does traffic-light get pinned on the floor? Mr. Grouchy-Pants never pins me down!" Raven, who had been attracted by the noise again, had reappeared and floated right over Beast Boy, hugging him from behind around the neck.
"Get off, Raven…" the green teen huffed slightly blushing while Robin struggled beneath him to get his hands on the empath without shouting and angering Beast Boy again.
The girl just giggled, kissed the changeling on the ear and whispered: "Fine, we'll play later!" Then, she disappeared once more.
The boys got up, Robin to run after the girl, wherever she may have gone, so he could give her the deserved punishment, and Beast Boy, heavily blushing, returned to his book.
"Why has she to be so damn happy all the time, so annoyingly cute…" he muttered to himself as he searched for the right page.
Starfire shot up from her slumber, clearly recalling her dream. Well, if this hadn't been the strangest thing she ever had seen…She had to tell Cyborg about this right away.
As she was on the way to her friend, she passed Ravens' room. The door was surprisingly opened a crack and two voices could be heard talking from the inside. Wait – two?
"Thanks again for hiding me, Rae! Robin surely would grill me if he'd find me…" a male voice, clearly distinguishable as Beast Boy's said.
"You're welcome. After all, I won fifty dollars from this. Just stay quiet, I'm trying to read…" the empath replied in her signature monotone.
For a moment there really was silence and Starfire thought about leaving, but then the soft sound of a kiss froze her every movement.
"Wh-what was that for?" Ravens' startled voice asked.
"Sorry, couldn't help it…You look too cute when you're reading…" the green teen mumbled, then added: "I guess I better go now…"
A green blur passed Starfire and the door slammed shut. The alien princess grinned devilishly. She'd definitely win the next game of 'the strangest thing' and right now she really was in the mood to play it with her half-mechanical friend…
A/N: So what'cha say, my little duckies? Should there be more? Let me know what you think of it ;) And take some cyber-waffles for the road: (#) (#) (#)
