SECRET GARDENS
Hola Chapter 1
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans
It is early in the evening when the Titans return to the Tower. Robin, Starfire, and Raven collapse on the couch. Terra flops over the coffee table. Beast Boy falls on his back on the floor. Cyborg is checking out the refrigerator.
Robin sighs and says, "Twenty-six days straight of fighting crime. I'm all for protecting the city and I like putting criminals away, but…"
Starfire finishes "…we need a break."
Cyborg suggests, "We could go out for pizza. There's nothing in this fridge."
Terra says, "Let's order in. I don't think I can move from this spot until I eat something."
Beast Boy groans, "I don't think it can get any…"
The others cry out, "Noo! Don't say it!"
"What?" says Beast Boy, "I was just gonna say, it could…"
Terra reaches over and puts her hand over his mouth. She says, "Every time you make a comment like that something 'more' happens."
Beast Boy shakes Terra's hand away. "No it hasn't. I don't remember anything."
Robin says, "Slade's robotic soldiers quadrupled. There were over 250 of them."
Terra adds, "There was a food shortage. We had nothing to eat but plain, boring oatmeal for over a week."
Starfire says, "The machines that pops the corn and cottons the candy would not stop working. It took a whole weekend to clean the tower."
"Every puppy, kitten, bunny or hideously cute baby animal in the city showed up here." Raven says in her monotone voice.
Starfire perks up a little and says, "Oh, they were so cute." Raven glares at her.
Starfire giggles nervously. She says, "However, there was an enormous amount of animals and the mess they left was not good or cute."
Cyborg pipes up. "Just about every pipe in the tower burst. That was a month ago but I still don't think I've dried out."
Beast Boy thinks about each of these incidences and says, "It wasn't that bad was it?"
The others shudder and yell, "Yes!"
Beast Boy waves his hands and says, "Ok, ok I won't say it."
Raven says, "Beast Boy, turn off your brain. Don't thinkit either."
Robin turns on the TV and starts flipping through the channels. They see several commercials for beautifying the city.
When the pizza comes, there is a flyer for this project to help improve the city. The idea is local "celebrities" would get an empty lot. They could put a garden in, or a park or whatever they wanted to improve the city somehow. Robin thinks this could be interesting. They could help the city and have some quiet time. Beast Boy is very excited; he could grow vegetables.
Terra asks, "Do you even know how to grow anything?"
Beast Boy shakes his head and says, "Nah, how hard could it be?" Terra shrugs her shoulders.
Beast Boy says, "Hey, I know I can plant rutabagas."
Terra questions, "What's a rutabaga?"
This time Beast Boy shrugs his shoulders. He says, "I don't know a vegetable, I guess."
They decide to do it. They would divide the plot six ways. Each Titan can put whatever they want in it. Everyone is excited except Cyborg and Raven. Cyborg doesn't know what to do. Raven says she doesn't do gardening and flowers.
It is decided that the Titans will visit the local garden center in the morning. Most are eager or at least a little excited about the gardens. They go to bed with flowers and gardens on their mind; not something, they would normally be thinking about. However, when is anything ever normal in the T-shaped tower?
Thanks Read and review
