The Dating Game
By: the-groovy-fanficers
Authors note: This takes place when the titans are 18 years. They've also split up as a group, so they're all solo.
"Welcome!! To the Dating game show! With your host MAD MOD!!" *claps are heard when he enters the room* "This week we're pairing up the titans!"
"Whoa!"
"They don't know why they're here but OH WELL!! They've been saving our butts for the last 3 years so give a warm welcome to THE TITANS!!"
*titans walk out confused*
"Um, why are we here?"
"Aha ha, Beastboy you're such a card!!" Mad Mod said waving his hand.
"Well, I thought it was a legitement question."
"Wow Beastboy I haven't seen you in like 2 years and you know how to pronounce words," Raven pointed out.
"I'm going to forget you said that."
Mad Mod clapped his hands together, "Ok! Well, let's move to the meet and greet room where you guys get to catch up with each other!" *titans leave to the other room* "And don't worry audience, we've set up a hidden camera in the room so you can watch their progress!" exclaimed Mad Mod.
*A screen turns on*
Robin walks up to Speedy, "So… I see your still wearing that mask."
"Well you are too so SHUT YOUR FRICKIN MOUTH!!"
"O-k…" Robin said inching away. In the process he sees Starfire, blushes, then hides.
Bumble Bee and Starfire talk about their clothes in the middle of the room.
Beastboy to Cyborg: "So do you still play videogames?"
Man, I make videogames! Ever heard of extreme galactic mayhem?"
Dude, I love that game!"
"Well I made that!"
Aqualad to Speedy: "Remember the golden days and how the chicks dug us… well me I guess."
"What are you trying to say?"
"Well you kinda had a temper."
Speedy explodes: "I DON'T HAVE A TEMPER!!"
"Just proves my point more."
Raven: "I don't feel comfortable about this."
Jinx: "I see your point."
Mad Mod walks in and gestures them to come out, they follow. "Cynderblock, my lovely assistant, pull the curtain and show our guests what they're doin." Cynderblock dressed in a bikini draws the curtain and behind it a huge sigh flashed 'The Mod Dating Game Show' Aqualad let out a whoop whoop. Robin just slapped his hand to his hand to his face saying 'oh god'. The other titans just stood there speechless. Cheers from the audience could be heard.
Mad mod: "While you guys were in the room, we had pulled out the names and places for the first dates! First couple, Beastboy and Bumble Bee and you guys are going to the amusement park. Second couple, Aqualad and Jinx and your place shall be a trip to the mall. Third couple is, Starfire and Speedy your place is the park. Fourth couple, Terra and Cyborg, you'll be doin some hiking loves. And last, but not least, Robin and Raven you'll be going to a café! Have fun my duckies!" They were all zapped out to their destinations. "Well, ok, we'll be looking in on them once in a while, but for now, enjoy some music!"
A WHILE LATER…………………………………………………………
"Ok Overlode!" Mad Mod exclaimed, "Let's get this show on the road." Overlode appeared on the huge screen holding a microphone.
"Well M.M. we're just gonna check up on their dates starting with B.B. and Bumble Bee." The camera turned to the first couple. They were both on the Ferris wheel looking straight ahead, B.B. eating popcorn.
"Well they don't fit well," Mad Mod joked. "But hey, there's still other fish in the sea!" He grinned. "Ok, this is BORING! NEXT!!" The camera went to Aqualad and Jinx who were in the food court eating some pizza. Starfire and Speedy were next, Starfire with a huge grin on her face and Speedy looking grumpy as usual. "Man Overlode! Is there any couple that's interesting to watch?!"
"Hold on a sec, the next couple seemed kinda interesting to me, tell me whatcha think." Terra and Cyborg came to view on the widescreen. Terra was sitting on a floating rock with her arms and legs crossed slowly advancing up the mountain. Cyborg was next to her only walking instead of floating.
"ARGH! This is boring!" Cyborg said pulling out a handheld videogame to play.
"Turn that off and talk to me!" Terra snapped.
"Then what do you want to talk about?
"NOTHING!!"
"Then don't tell me you want to talk!"
"My god you suck!"
"Oh, I suck is that it?"
"Yea! That's it!"
"Well YOU shouldn't be talking!"
Mad mod couldn't take it anymore, he fell on the floor laughing none stop, "They fight…over…THE STUPIDEST THINGS!! Ha ha… Overlode STOP IT STOP IT! AND Plasmas clean up these tears!"" Plasmas came out with a mop coming over to where the tears were, leaving behind a trail of slop.
"Argh! My janitor work is never done."
"Whatever just, just, just clean it up! Oh yea, the last couple… ya that's right let's catch up with Robin and Raven! Woo!" Mad Mod points to the screen, "Roll the clip!" The screen shows a little café, inside were a few tables and some dim lights. A little stage made out of wood was in a dark corner, there was microphone on it.
"Interesting place," Robin said, "It's pretty crowded."
"Well its happy hour," replied Raven, "Hopefully we can find a table." Robin tried not to laugh because there was nothing happy about this place at all. "There's a table," Raven pointed out. Robin looked at the table nearest to the stage.
"Well ok then." As they sat down some Goth kid went up on the stage and told a tale of misery about his childhood.
"Amateur," Raven remarked when the kid finished.
"Can anyone go up there and recite poetry?" Robin asked.
"Yea, you should try no one will accept you here unless you have some dark feelings to share." Robin turned around and saw that all the café patrons were glaring at him, feeling uneasy, Robin got up and made his way to the stage. As he stepped up to the mic he looked at Raven who gave him a nod.
"Th-this is a depressing tale of lost love." Robin stuttered. Sobbing could be heard from the audience. "Well here it goes," he thought.
"Behind the mask I
hide
There is a sadness
inside.
I cry at night thinking,
about a love that could've shown,
so
bright. But…..the fear,
of
losing my secret love you
made
me feel as light as a dove,
I
Fell but you could tell and,
then you knew so well that,
your
smile could be felt."
Robin placed the mic back in its place and sat down nest to Raven, people were clapping around him.
"You were talking about Starfire huh?"
Robin looked down twittling his fingers, "Yea."
"Well, there's no doubt that you guys won't be together." Robin lifted his head seeing a serene smile upon Raven's face and he couldn't help but smile back.
Mad Mod: *sniff sniff* "So touching," He said wiping a tear from his eye, "…WELL! LET'S GET BACK TO THE SHOW! The dates are now done, so, we'll bring them here and get some feedback!" There was a bright flash and the titans stood before them. "Ok you guys, I want you to tell me what you thought of the dates. We'll start with Bumble Bee."
Bumble Bee: "Well, he wasn't even that interested, he just sat on rides saying nothin."
Beastboy: "What was I supposed to do? I barely knew you then let alone now. I didn't know what to say."
Mad Mod: "So I guess that's a no for you two." They both nodded, "ok then, NEXT!!"
Jinx: "He just wasn't my type, so I'll say no."
Aqualad: "Same thing."
Mad Mod: "Let's see how the next couple did."
Starfire: "I think I enjoyed the walking of the park more than friend Speedy."
Speedy: "Yea, the key word here is FRIEND which is all we are."
Mad Mod: "Under my own circumstances, I'm going to skip through to Robin and Raven."
Raven: "Well, it's obvious that we weren't meant to be together, so, I'll answer for Robin and I both, it's a no."
Mad Mod: "Wonderful. Ok Terra and Cyborg, you're next!!"
Terra: "IT SUCKED!! HE ONLY CARED ABOUT HIS STUPID VIDEOGAMES! HE WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO ME!!"
Cyborg: "That's cus YOU didn't want to talk to me!!"
Terra: "WELL YOU COULD'VE TRIED YOU SON OF A-"
"Well that's it for that! Tune in tomorrow for the next date and the results!"
*the show ended*
All the titans crossed their arms and glared at Mad Mod. "WE DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!!" they all said in sync.
Mad Mod: "I know! That's the BEST PART MY DUCKIES!!"
