Famous for Being Famous

James Jax

"The bling, the fashion, the stars! That's right ladies and gentlemen, The Charity Ball is on and being held right here in Jump City, everyone from Jacob Donny, to Elizabeth Locks will be here, I'm your host Helga Welch here to bring the Ball right into your living room!"

Starfire sat at the edge of her seat, taking on her latest obsession … the glamorous life of Celebrities. Her big green eyes glued to the large screen TV while a bowl of popcorn sat on her lap, she squealed every time Helga in her glittering gown spoke to a new celebrity and the gossip column. Raven, being the meditative girl she is, was going crazy just listening to the crap. She squint her eyes shut and chanted a bit louder to drown out the loud noise of chatty paparazzi trying to get the latest scoop on some actress's love life.

"Azarath … Metrion … Zinthous … Azarath … Metrion … Zinthous …" it wasn't working, she was loosing her self-center, and she was loosing her patience, so she cracked open one eye to glare warningly at Starfire, "Star … do you mind lowering that thing down … I'm trying to meditate."

Starfire blinked and looked off the screen to glance at Raven, "Did you say something friend Raven?"

She was brainwashed.

Raven took a deep breath, "Could you –"

"Oh my goodness! Look who has just arrived! James Jax! James! James! Can we have a word!"

Starfire screamed, "It's the James Jax! Friend Raven! Come see the James Jax is actually here in Jump City! Come! Come! You must watch with me."

Raven had no choice, Starfire flew up, grabbed her wrist and yanked her to the couch, Raven huffed when her hair blew into her face and her cape was all skewed. Sitting up, she fixed herself and glared at the TV to see a rather handsome, if not typically young celebrity standing next to who Raven assumed was the reporter considering she was holding the mike. Obviously star-struck to be standing in the presences of a man that looked no older than Robin or Cyborg, but dressed like he owned the world. A black suite with cinnamon red pin stripe and a matching silk cinnamon red inside button up with two on the top undone.

Hands in his pocket, two silver earrings on his right ear, messy spiked hair, naturally island skin tanned complexion, and the look in his glittering autumn brown eyes told Raven he was just another Son of Hollywood. One whom Starfire was obviously fascinated by, Raven rolled her eyes when the hostess blushed as she asked a question, "James, wow, I hope you don't mind my gawking, but might I say that you look absolutely handsome this evening. Who are you wearing?"

He smiled, and the hostess melted, "Uh … Ethan Calban, but you look ravishing as well, I actually feel paled in comparison to your stunning beauty."

"He is such a gentleman, would you not agree friend Raven?" Starfire giggled like an embarrassed schoolgirl – which wouldn't be new to Raven. The sorceress crossed her arms over her chest and sat enduring the pain of loosing brain cells while she dumbed herself down to watch this waste-of-a-TV-show.

Helga babbled, "Oh James, you're too nice for your own good … so how does it feel to be in Jump City? I hear it's your hometown."

James shrugged nonchalantly, "Born and raised and I have to say it feels … kind of weird to be back home after traveling the world, you know."

"I bet, so, do you think Bruce Wayne will be here?"

"I wouldn't be surprised, in fact, I'm kind of hoping he would, I wouldn't mind having a little chat with the man as successful and generous as he is. You never know, maybe a little of his talents might rub off on me if we stick around long enough."

"James you are as talented as they come! Well, I better not hold you up, maybe I'll see you … later …" Helga went speechless when James reached out and removed a sliver of her hair out of her eyes to tuck it behind her ear, she may have been at least a decade older than him, but she was still enchanted by his charming smile.

"I'll make sure to see you later, Helga," he looked at the camera and winked then continued on down the red carpet, leaving a breathless hostess alone to stare into space with hearts in her eyes.

That's, when Raven had enough and mentally reached for the remote, shutting off the TV, she expected Starfire to protest, but the girl just swooned and dazed over the couch. Raven sneered, "Starfire, I'll say it once, celebrities are just high-priced show ponies prancing around TV to try and brainwash society into thinking that is the ideal way to live. Don't fall into their evil web of lies."

Starifre sighed wistfully, "James Jax … here in Jump City … oh friend Raven do you think we could go to that Charity Ball just to receive the James's autograph? I wonder if he'll be our friends."

Oh, he'll have more than friendship on the mind, Raven thought bitterly and got up from the couch, "Whatever Star, I'm going to my room, call me when there is a real emergency."

She took a step away from the couch, but then the Titan alarm for trouble sounded. Snapping Starfire out of her daze and putting an agitated face on Raven as the boys came rushing into the Ops Room, Robin demanding, "What's going on?"

Raven crossed her arms over her chest, raised a brow, and sneered, "Besides the glitz and glam corrupting the minds of America? Just the usual."

Robin gave Raven an odd look as a response to her statement, but with a shake of his head disregarded it and went up to the super-computer to get some answers. A few typing and a clicking and the Titans were headed for … a school … Beast Boy blinked and blinked again rubbing his eyes, "Huh? Are you for real?"

Robin frowned, "According to this, it's a shooting, Titans! GO!"

Beast Boy laughed, "Schools out!"

Cyborg scoffed, "In an academy? What are they teaching kids now a days?"

Raven flying beside him dryly responded, "How to look and act like Malibu Barbie and Surfin' Ken and to shun those who don't see life their way, civilized society, hypocritical to the end."

"You didn't get your time to meditate, did you?" Cyborg chuckled.

"No, I was too busy watching James Jax get his moment of fame on national television, it was almost impossible to hold down my excitement," Raven sneered and entered shot-gun of the T-car while Starfire and Beast Boy jumped into the back.

Robin hopped onto his bike and with a revved engine they were off.

Beast Boy smirked, "Hey, you guys know what school we're going to?"

Starfire tilted her head, "Well, I remember when Friend Robin pulled up the picture, I thought the title of the facility said Ocean View Academy."

"Yeah," Beast Boy's smirk grew, "That's the exclusive school for the rich and famous teenie-boppers."

"Ooo!" Starfire jumped, "I know what that means! Child stars! Right!"

"Yep," Beast Boy grinned even wider, "Dude, I just can't believe we're going there!"

Raven scoffed, "Don't look so excited, looks like we're about to see the ugly side of stencil-town."

Rushing passed a grove and speeding down a winding trail straight up a cliff with a nasty drop on Raven's right, Robin took the lead all the way to the top where Ocean View Academy sat perched on top of the cliff looking over the bay. (Three guesses to how it got its name and the first two don't count). Robin swirled around the circle driveway and stopped right next to a few police cars, Cyborg parked behind him and the Titans all headed for the yellow-tapped entrance of the school.

Kids their age all in uniforms lined up the driveway, trying to rubberneck into the school to see what was going on. The moment the Titans arrived the whispers flew, and Robin felt like he was in high-school all over again, he steeled his shudder of discomfort and lead his team passed the yellow-tap and into the school. Walking up the steps, and meeting with a few cops that gave them odd looks Robin asked, "What's going on?"

One of the cops shrugged, "You tell us, I don't remember anyone calling for the –"

"Titans!"

From down the hall the Titans all turned their heads to see a woman dressed in slacks, heels, a button up blouse and plastic framed glasses with neat blond hair pulled back in a low ponytail. Holding a clipboard in one arm and marching toward them as if she had a personal vendetta she had to deal with. Her serious hazel eyes and a flick of her wrist the cops around the Titans all cleared off as she approached.

Robin picked up on her authority and knew she was in charge, "You sent for us?"

"Yes, however reluctant I am to say, lead detective, Detective Daevon," she huffed and flipped her hair back, "however, seeing as this case had just took a turn for the unusual, I'm going to have to ask the Titans' cooperation as well as their involvement, so if you'll follow me to the scene of the crime then we'll discuss the details. Brace yourselves kids, you're in for a real treat."

She lead them through the hallway, down a few stairs and finally into the cafeteria where there were more cops cordoning the scene where chairs and tables were tipped over, food was thrown about some kids on the corner being questioned. Some of them looked shaken up, others of them looked excited to be apart of a big Hollywood crime scene. Detective Daevon ushered the Titans to the back of the cafeteria, into the freezer where two cops were looking out for a cuffed man in his late 40s. With graying hair and a tired look on his face, he looked up when he heard the heels of Detective Daevon approaching and sneered when he noticed the Titans were with her.

"Should have known a bitch like you would turn this into a circus."

Detective Daevon scowled and ordered the cops to clear out of the back, she slammed the door shut behind them and walked up to the cuffed man, grabbing a hand full of the front of his shirt she pulled him up so they were eye level, "A bitch like me would rather see you rot in hell for daring to come in here guns blazing nearly killing two innocent kids."

"Piss off," the man sneered and Detective Daevon threw him back down on his chair which tipped over and he fell to the floor on his side. His hands still cuffed behind his back, he scowled at the Detective, "that's police brutality!"

"Oh, you do not want to know what police brutality is you son of a bitch," Daevon growled.

Cyborg took a hold of her shoulder and pulled her back, "Easy, easy, lets all calm down and discuss this in a civilized manner. Sir –"

"Names Ben," the man scoffed and sat up as best he could.

Robin took the lead, "Alright Ben, I'm sure you already know who we are."

Ben rolled his eyes, "Yeah, the fuckin' three ring circus, what the hell does the Titans have to do with this? I already know I'm going to jail for attempted murder, but goddamn it I had a fuckin' reason!"

Raven crossed her arms over her chest, "And what reason was that?"

"Red X killed my daughter!"

Beast Boy, who was sniffing around the barrels of melting ice-cream scrambled back and sneezed himself back to a human sitting on the floor, Starfire dropped a random object she was holding, forcing Robin to – on pure reflex – catch it with wide eyes. Raven's mouth dropped open and Cyborg's eye comically popped out of their sockets, and at once all the Titans asked, "What?"

Ben sneered, "I said, Red X killed my daughter, what? I have to spell it out for ya? That bastard needs to die and even if I'm not the one to do it, I'm sure he'll get his, what goes around comes around."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Robin held up his hands stopping Ben's rant before it started, dropping the item he caught from Starfire to the ground he stared Ben down as hard as he could. Giving Batman a run for his money, "Red X … you mean … you saw Red X here, on this campus?"

"No," Ben scowled, "the son of a bitch goes to this school."

"What!" Cyborg narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Red X? International thief, goes to Ocean View Academy? As in … as in a student?"

"What? Am I speaking fuckin' English here? Yes! Red X is a student at Ocean View Academy! Want me to draw a picture? God."

Starfire hovered over him, staring at the man in wide-eyed awe and confusion, "And … the Red X … he damaged your daughter?"

"Damaged? He killed her!" Ben huffed, getting frustrated with having to repeat himself about his little girl, "Gods … she worked at the Historical Museum at the corner of Flint and 45th Avenue right across from Dezellem's Café … her favorite place she went to on her lunch break … she caught X … in the middle of stealing something called the Dark Karma Ring and was about to phone you guys … but he-he slit her throat. My little girl, Jenna …"

Beast Boy frowned, "Hey … I remember that … we were called on the scene just three months ago."

Robin's frown grew darker, "Yes … the woman, Jenna I guess her name is, her throat was cut open, but the weapon used was never found."

Detective Daevon sighed, and pulled out a zip-lock bag which was clipped on her clipboard, she tossed it to Raven who's mouth cracked open only slightly when she observed the bloody object within the bag. She beckoned Robin to her side and all the Titans huddled around her to get a look at the red X blade caked in dried blood. Starfire gasped and slapped a hand over her mouth as she began to choke and her eyes burn with approaching tears. Robin's frown turned to a disgusted scowl and Raven huffed as Cyborg took the bag and scanned it with his robotic eye, Raven shook her head, "Well … I guess the mystery on whether or not Red X is a good or a bad guy is solved."

Detective Daevon joined the group, "Now you see why I called you all down here … Ben over there had that in his pocket. He says it was mailed to him along with this …"

Raven took the note, read it over herself, then read it aloud, "'I know who killed your little girl. The Titans couldn't find him, but I did, attending Ocean View Academy. I am truly sorry for your loss; I just hope this knowledge will bring you some comfort.' Signed as 'The Good Samaritan'. Put together by magazine clippings."

She handed it to Robin who scrutinized the note, "Now why would a Good Samaritan send a note not written but full of magazine clippings?"

Beast Boy snorted, "My biggest deal here is with the whole knowing who Red X is … I mean the dude didn't even write it down on the paper. How do we know he's even telling the truth?"

"We don't," Raven answered and looked at Detective Daevon, "does anyone else know about this?"

She shook her head, "Nope, no one from my squad, only us and Ben."

"Good," Robin stared Ben down, "I'd like to keep it that way … the shooting and our arrival has probably scared X off … he'll be packing up to leave right about now, but at least it's a lead that we'll follow."

Detective Daevon scoffed, "What are you trying to say? That you're going undercover at the school?"

Robin shook his head and sighed, "No, X is smart, he'll know he's being tagged … the best thing to do is not to release any of this to the press and if you will, could you let us handle this Miss Daevon."

Daevon shot Robin a cold look, but huffed and shrugged, "I suppose, but just remember who gave you the lead."

"We're eternally grateful." Robin nodded his head – taking a page from Starfire's etiquettes – then glanced over at the distant Ben and sympathized with him. With a hand on his shoulder the older man looked up at his mask and as softly, yet firmly as he could he whispered, "I'm sorry for Jenna …"

Ben just blinked, and allowed for one slip of a tear to come down his face, Raven looked away and was the first to leave the scene, feeling his heavy emotions coming down on her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath while she waited for the rest of her team. Robin slipped out and with him Starfire who was walking on the ground a hand holding her arm. Beast Boy leaned against the wall and Cyborg shook his head and rubbed the back of his head.

Each of them had a face of deep thought.

Each of them couldn't really wrap their fingers around the crime.

Each of them could relate to the hate within the man's heart.

But for some odd reason … despite this case shrouding one of their most notorious criminals … none of them could believe in the murder. Starfire sighed and smiled weakly trying to get her team's attention, "Well then … what are your orders … Friend Robin …?"

"Research … Star," Robin softly whispered, "… old fashion footwork."

--

"He's obsessing again," Raven ran her fingers through her long grown out violet hair, having grown it out to look a little less like herself as a Titan. Dressed casually in a black t-shirt that read: 'I'm smiling … that ALONE should scare you.' a smiley face at the bottom with swirling eyes and jeans with sneakers. She wandered beside Starfire looking like average teenage girls just cruising the Mall.

Starfire was in a loose white short mini skirt and pink shirt with a cute silver bunny on her chest, a pair of pink shades resting on top of her head, excessive jewelry, heels and a purse, she tilted her head and looked down at her shorter friend, "But … it's been over two Earthen weeks … I do not think his 'obsession' should last this long."

Raven shrugged, "Its Red X, what do you expect? Robin still thinks the suit incident was his fault and he's still beating himself over it. Just let him run his course and sooner, but more likely later, he'll find another project to delve into. He's just like that."

"You know him rather well, do you not … friend Raven …" Starfire shyly mentioned fiddling with her purse; Raven recognized the look and sighed. She was never good with pep-talks, but hell, she was a friend and as much as she's learned since being on this planet, friendship meant having to have a heart-to-heart with each other.

So stopping in the middle of the mall she walked Starfire over to one of the random benches where an indoor koi pond was at the center. Sitting down beside the crescent fallen princess, Raven, as best as she could, tried to be gentle, "Star … he likes you, alright, that's never going to change. I thought you understood that to him saving the world is more important than a relationship."

Starfire sighed heavily, "Yes, I know … I do understand … but I can not help but to worry for him … the things that go on in his mind … sometimes I fear that I can never understand, and … I feel … like …"

"…" Raven blinked and tried to understand where Starfire was going with this, then just threw out her thought, "… like you two have nothing in common?"

"Exactly!" Starfire looked down at Raven with hopeful – yet lost – emerald eyes and smiled as best she could. Not at all liking how she was spoiling the mood for the girls'-day-out that she had set up for them when Robin had given them permission to take a break from research. However, the smile could not stay on her face, "Oh Friend Raven … maybe I am wrong in the pursuit of an Earthen relationship … I hardly even understand Earth let alone their social habits … how is it that it is so easy for you to adapt? Are you not from another world as I am?"

Raven looked away, "That's complicated … Star … you just …" Raven trailed off when she noticed Starfire wasn't paying any attention to her.

Following her line of sight, Raven found her staring into Pink World and the dark sorceress cringed at her first thought, Oh … please God, no … however, when she took a closer look she noticed that there were more girls in the shop than usual. Raising a brow, she glanced at Starfire and Starfire looked down at her and just like that. Her smile was back in full swing, "Come Friend Raven! We must have a look at what is so exciting within the World of Pink!"

Raven yelped when Starfire grabbed her wrist and whip-lashed her into the bright pink world, flinching when she came in contact with a pink shirt and nearly tripped over a fallen pink dress. She followed Starfire all the way to the cashiers where the girls were all gathered pushing and shoving trying to get something that was obviously turning the store into a madhouse.

"Ow! That's my hair bitch! Get off!"

"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod! Amy! I just put it in!"

"AAAHHH! I just HAVE to win! Please God if I win this I'll never cheat on my math test again I swear!"

Raven winced when a girl screamed in her ear that turned into a siren when her friend joined her and they started to jump up and down like psychopaths, the sorceress got to the front of the manic-line and leaned over the counter to the cashier, "Excuse me … what's going on?"

The cashier gave Raven an odd look, as if the answer was the most obvious thing in the world, she rolled her eyes and shrugged, "It's a contest … duh."

Raven took a breath and held her patience, "Yes, but what kind of contest."

This time, it wasn't the cashier that answered it was Starfire's squeal, "Raven! It's the Summer Bash with James Jax!"

Raven was still lost, for once in her life; Starfire knew what was going on, "What?"

"The Summer Bash with James Jax!" some girl repeated, "Where the hell have you been? Sleeping in a cave?"

"Summer bash …" Raven thought then dared to asked, "You mean this contest is about someone staying with this James Jax for their entire summer vacation?"

"DUH!"

Raven winced when all the girls at once chimed in, all except Starfire who was holding two slips of paper; she stared at them as if they were her life ticket to how to understand human social behavior. Or the secret to getting Robin's attention, either which, the papers in Starfire's hands were significant. The Tameranian hooked her arm with Raven's and in a hurry dragged her best friend out of the store and back to the koi pond. Raven glared at the princess just about reaching her breaking point with all the dragging she's been doing lately.

She decided to take her anger out on this 'James' character since he had been the cause of her pain since two weeks ago when Starfire turned on that ridiculous show, "Starfire, you're not considering this … are you?"

Starfire smiled innocently up at Raven and smiled with a blush, "Well … Friend Raven … I know this may seem rather strange … but, it's as Beast Boy says … do not knock it unless you try it!"

"But that's just it, Star," Raven growled, "Beast Boy was the one that said it."

"Please Friend Raven, let us contribute to this competition it's most amusing!"

"Starfire, this is ridiculous! Do you know how many other people will be signing up for this? Practically the entire nation if not the world depending on how popular this, James is. The chance of you even winning is remote … besides … things like this, are always rigged."

"Maybe … but if that be the case than why so worried about participating?" Starfire argued cutely.

Raven eyed Starfire carefully, "I'm not worried, I don't care, and you shouldn't either. Helping to boost that pompous bastard's ego? It's degrading."

"… Hmm …" Starfire thought for a moment then sighed in defeat, "… well … if you say so friend Raven … I shall throw it away."

Raven nodded in satisfaction, "Good … anyway, we better get back to the Tower, Robin might need help."

Starfire followed, "All right."

While on their way out Starfire stopped by a nearby trashcan and threw away one of the papers, folding the other and slipping it into her purse when Raven wasn't looking. The 'innocent', 'sweet', alien princess wandered along side Raven as they headed for home, the both of them entering one of the cars borrowed from the garage. A drop top Mercedes Benz – Robin's car, of course, 'Starfire' was just borrowing it – Raven was the one behind the wheel since Starfire had yet to understand the laws of the road on Earth. The girls cruised in style down the strip, through the bay and underground to get to their tower.

There, the two dressed back into their uniforms and Starfire stood in the middle of her room staring at the contest slip to get to be apart of James Jax's entourage. Starfire sat on her bed and blinked a few times at the questions, there were 5 … and the rules said that at least 4 out of those 5 questions had to be answered right. The questions were all about James Jax and … they were hard. Starfire was sure that if Raven were here to read it, she'd think that someone had to be a stalker in order to answer these questions, but the princess would not give up so easily.

With a deep sigh, she grabbed a pen, a hard surface, and laid on her bed chewing her pen in thought.

What was the nickname James had when he was a child?

Starfire tilted her head and dug into the back of her mind, searching for the answer. She may have not been a stalker, but she was as big a fan of James as they come, she gritted her teeth and thought and thought and thought, until it finally came to her! She jotted down the answer: Shadow. Satisfied with her answer she nodded and moved on.

On James's sixteenth birthday Casey, Sandy, Baby, and Cindy were there, who are they? Be specific.

She was stomped for a moment, names, sixteenth birthday party … was the question talking about guests? Maybe someone he's related to? No, no one close to James had those names, or even close to having those names … had to be someone else. Starfire tilted her head, 'Be specific.' Then it dawned on her, it wasn't someone it was a something, now she had to determine what it was the question was talking about.

Starfire tried to rack her brain for the time she watched that one show where it exclusively covered celebrity parties and James's party was on it as well. The alien princess hovered off her bed and walked to her closet, opening it up she pulled out a magazine she remembered covered James's sixteenth bash. Flipping to the page she smiled and giggled in glee when the names slapped her across the face. She flew back to her bed with the magazine and started to copy it down.

Casey: Ashton Martin Vanquish S V12

Sandy: 911 Porsche Carrera 4S

Baby: Chevrolet Corvette Z06

Cindy: Pontiac Solstice

All sports vehicles.

All were gifts.

She went on.

James had a dog when he was a child, what was the name of the dog's chew toy?

The color drained out of Starfire's face at the odd question, The name of a … Dog's chew toy? She put the pen and paper down and started to float back and forth within her room in thought. Shuffling her mind and thinking of the correct answer, she remembered in an interview James did speak of a dog … but the name of its chew toy eluded her, let alone if the dog was even James's to begin with. In a defeated sigh she grabbed the pen and paper and guessed the answer: Squeaky.

Not at all liking that answer, but leaving it anyway she sighed and read the next question.

What is James's father's mother's maiden name?

Starfire chewed on her pen again and huffed, floating off her bed she walked out of her room while still holding the slip of paper and glancing down at the last question.

What is James's true eye color?

The Tameranian tilted her head, Gold … right? Or is this a trick question …? Still confused she folded up the paper and put it in her pocket. Floating to the Ops Room into the kitchen where Beast Boy and Cyborg both sat surprisingly silent just slurping down homemade smoothies. Starfire joined them, observing that Raven was no where within the room she decided to ask, "Where is Friend Raven?"

"In her room," they both answered at once and Starfire blinked.

"Oh … okay …" just sitting she glanced at the two guys and thought for a moment, pulling out the questions she smoothed it out on the table and chewed on her lower lip. She didn't know if this was a good idea … but she figured she might as well give it a shot and cleared her throat to get her friend's attention, and in a tiny voice she said, "Excuse me … but … friends … might I ask your assistance with questions I believe I might need help on."

Cyborg and Beast Boy looked up; Beast Boy looked over her shoulder, "Exam? You going to college or something?"

"I do not believe so," Starfire slid them the paper, "it's a contest to stay with the James Jax for the Earthen summer if I am to get four out of the five questions right … and … I'm afraid the last two … give me trouble …"

"James? You mean … famous-for-being-famous James?" Cyborg took a hold of the paper and read it over then snickered, "These questions are stalker questions … you have to be a die hard fan of the guy to get the name of the guy's dog's chew toy."

Beast Boy burst out in a giggle fest, "What? Dude, that's stupid."

Starfire blushed, and Cyborg scoffed, "I'll say … but it's the last two you need help on … right Star?"

"Uh-huh …" she answered still blushing for even being categorized as a stalker or a die-heard fan … she never considered herself in such categories.

Cyborg sat beside Beast Boy and the two read the questions, it took a moment, but Beast Boy snapped his fingers and pointed to the last question, "It's a trick question! His eyes are brown … right?"

"I don't know …" Cyborg shook his head, "I remember the guy acting in that one movie with that one chick and his eyes were green then."

Beast Boy nodded, "Oh, yeah man, that movie kicked ass! But, dude, contacts."

Cyborg shook his head, "What if it's a tricky trick question and the answer that we get first in our heads is the answer that's wrong, and turns out to be our second answer … let's put down green."

"But they're brown!"

"Who cares! No one ever wins these things anyway, go a head Star, put down green," Cyborg passed Starfire the paper and the hesitant Tameranian took a while holding her pen.

"Well … friends … if the first answer is wrong, and your second answer is right, then what is to stop my third answer which would have been my second answer from being right as well?" Starfire shrugged, Cyborg shrugged as well, and Beast Boy just picked the wax out of ear, Starfire sighed, "I think I shall write amber gold."

"Whatever your pleasure," Beast Boy slurped his smoothie and Cyborg read off the fourth – yet last – question to be answered, "'What is James's father's mother's maiden name?' BB?"

Beast Boy scratched his head, "Um … I don't know … Oh! Jennings!"

Starfire's mouth dropped, "How do you know that?"

Cyborg turned away, "I'm almost scared to know myself."

Beast Boy grinned, "Because, while we were doing research on Ocean View Academy, I peeked into the student files and saw that James actually goes to that school and his entire record was in that one file!"

"The James goes to that school!" Starfire jumped up and hovered over Beast Boy with wide-green eyes.

Beast boy nodded, "Yeah, I just said that, and his father's mother's maiden name is Jennings … but I think that's a rigged question because James never gave away that bit of information to the press. In fact, the press don't even know anything about his past."

Starfire quickly jotted down the answer and gave her boys two big hugs, practically crushing their spins, "Oh thank you! Thank you ever so much! Now I am certain to win this –"

"Hold on …" Beast Boy morphed into a mouse and dropped out of Starfire's bear-hug, plopping down on the ground, he took a breath and looked up at his friends, "… you're actually going to turn that in …?"

"Well …" Starfire let go of Cyborg and shyly she started to draw circles in the carpet, "… my intentions were purely to play the prank on friend Raven and turn in the contest within her name."

Cyborg shook his head and chuckled, "Star, Star, that's not a prank, that's a –"

"Perfect idea!" Beast boy jumped up ad snatched the paper, "Raven's gonna enter the contest alright … I mean, she hates this guy, and if she wins she's gonna have no choice but to go along with it!"

Cyborg raised a brow, "Why won't she have a choice?"

"I just over heard Robin talking to himself … something about infiltrating the world of glitz and glam, but think about it …! How deep can you get if you become an instant entourage for the famous James Jax that actually goes to Ocean View! She's gonna hate it so much and it's the perfect frickin' plan! Star! You're a genius!"

Now it was Beast Boy's turn to do the hugging and Starfire just took it with an unsure look on her face, "I … am?"

"Yeah!" Beast Boy pulled away and looked at the entry sheet with a goofy grin on his green face, "Now all we gotta do is get Raven's picture, and mail this sucker."

Cyborg sighed and rolled his eyes, "This is a bad idea … but … even if we get Raven's picture, we're talking about celebrities. If Raven goes as she is, its bad press for every Titan out there, we're going to be looked at as irresponsible teenagers."

Beast Boy shrugged, "Then we'll get her to disguise herself, what's the problem?"

"Getting Raven to take a picture, that's the problem …"

"Maybe not."

"AHH!" all three conspirers jumped at the sound of their leader's voice sneaking up on all of them, Robin stood with his arms crossed over his chest and a sneaky smirk playing on his lips. Beast Boy jumped into Starfire's arms and Cyborg hid behind the alien princess, Starfire glanced at them all, looking guilty as sin with the paper in her hands, she smiled innocently at Robin and nervously giggled, "Heh … friend Robin … um … hello, salutations and ... would you like anything?"

Robin chuckled as Starfire dropped Beast Boy and still tried to maintain innocence, he shook his head and took a hold of the paper, "This, is actually a good idea … a one way ticket into Hollywood, if she wins of course and I don't have to go back to Bruce and actually admit I need his help."

Beast Boy popped his head up, "Wait … so … so you're in on the scam?"

"Not a scam," Robin smirked, "a legit crime case, and Raven's going to be a part of it, whether she likes it … or not."

"But she doesn't like this guy, nor does she like being in the spotlight with all these celebrities," Cyborg pointed out, "don't you think we're bring … I don't know … cruel?"

Robin shrugged, "Actually I think it makes perfect senses, Raven doesn't like him, makes it easier for her to be suspicious of everything while in an undercover operation."

At that moment, Raven finally made her entrance, the door slid open, book in hand; she read a few more words until she stopped dead in her tracks in the middle of the stairs and looked up. Closing her book, she gazed down at her friends, huddled together, whispering … and Starfire, with one of the contest sheets in her hands. She frowned and narrowed her gaze on her 'friends', "What's going on …"
