Introduction: Welcome to my first fanfiction! If you can call it that. This will be all of the oneshots that I write that I think are either not worthy enough, not long enough, or for some other reason not capable of being a fiction on their own. As the summary says…some will make you cry, some will make you cringe, and some will make you think "what the crap?" and if I do my job right, hopefully some will make you roll on the floor laughing.
Author's Note: I hope I do not disappoint any of my future fans! Assuming I get any…
Disclaimer: Okay…if anyone here thinks I own Teen Titans, email me and I will get you a reservation to the Happy Hotel.
Poll: I know this author's note is long, but this is the last part, I promise. For every chapter, I will have a poll of sorts. This chapter's is as follows:
Who do you think Cyborg should end up being with?
The Top
Continuity: Any Labor Day
"Oh God…he's back with the boom box…everyone, brace yourselves!" Cyborg alerted as Beast Boy proudly trotted into the room.
The accursed music maker was resting on his shoulder as it often was. Everyone scrambled for their earplugs, but only to the innocent laughter of the green teen. Confused, and slowed in their search, the other's watched him set it down. Every few seconds, a Titan would find their earplugs and silently put them in place. But just as they were in, they were taken out. It was not his CD that he was going to play…it was the radio. And according to the digital reading, it was K92. A station that wasn't half bad. Raven didn't really like it, but everyone else seemed to enjoy it. The station played the newest songs, such as Justin Timberlake, Nickelback, Linkin Park, Fergi, and others. It ranged from slow, soothing songs to fast-paced rap, to hard-core rock. If the song was new, it was played on this station.
As he turned up the volume, the announcer's voice filled the room. "…K92's Fun 400 Party Songs! It's Labor Day, and, as tradition goes, we are going to play history's top 400 songs. To tell us what you think should be on the list, either log on to our website, or call us toll free at 800-468-92FM. That's 800-468-9236. And now, for song number 400!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a catchy beat blared from the boom box, soon accompanied by "I got my first real six stream, bought it at the five-and-dime. Played 'til my fingers bled, it was the summer of '69!" Beast Boy grinned sheepishly, hand ready to turn off his radio.
"Is this okay with everyone?" He questioned.
Starfire giggled and nodded, begging Robin to dance with him. The team leader, seemingly content with this arrangement, bobbed his head as well. Raven rolled her eyes, going back to her book. Cyborg looked at him questioningly, but smiled his agreement. Seemingly pleased with the survey results, Beast Boy sat down and rocked in rhythm with the song. All too soon, however, it was over and another was playing. For awhile, everyone merely stood still, listening to the strange tune. But, as the chorus came in, eyebrows across the room raised, staring at the noise maker.
"Boom boom boom boom! I want you in my room! Let's spend the night together. From now until forever. Boom boom boom boom. I wanna go boom boom. Let's spend the night together. Together in my room."
"Okay…that's just wrong." Raven spoke what everyone was thinking.
"You have to admit it is catchy though…" Cyborg spoke tentatively.
"Friend Robin? Why does the girl wish to make things explode in her room? Does the 'boom' not mean explosions? And why does she want you to be with her while she does the blowing up?"
"Oh…God…" Cyborg couldn't help but double over in laughter.
"Um…you see Starfire…what she means is…"
"Dude, if you are going to give her the talk, do it somewhere else!"
Listening to the elf, the pair left, returning nearly an hour later. The radio was now on song number 368, but that didn't matter. What made the two other boys on the team roll on the floor laughing was what Starfire was asking of Robin.
"But friend, why is it that these birds feel the need to do the flirting, and why do the bees so strongly wish to mate with them?"
Laser Tag
Continuity: Anytime
"Hey! No resets!" Beast Boy growled at the team leader.
"But you killed me! Don't I get to start over?" He retaliated.
"No! Once someone shoots you and kills you, you have to sit out for three minutes and add a tally to your score. You can't just press the reset button and continue!"
Robin had to admit, he hated this game. Why was it that he could kick Beast Boy's ass in combat, yet he could kick his in Laser Tag? Maybe because it was the first time he ever played…Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, and, on occasion, even Raven, would play this game every Saturday night from nine until midnight. Robin had always refused to play…he had work to do. But, now with Slade obviously on the run, he was bored. And so, had decided to play.
"Fine, if you say so." As he wandered to Base, his eyes downcast thinking deeply about the rules, a voice barely reached him.
"Look out!" It called, but it was too late.
Robin was flat on his back, staring upwards. Starfire rushed to his side, asking frantically if he was "the alright". Cyborg could be heard cracking up in the background. Beast Boy was holding back his snickers as he, too, asked if Robin was okay. Robin couldn't see Raven, but he knew she was smirking. After all, what leader ran into a tree head on playing laser tag?
Hawaiian Punch
Continuity: Anytime
"Please friend, why do you offer me the Hawaiian Punch? I do not feel the need to be hit, and if I must be, I do not wish for it to be by a Hawaiian."
"No, no. Hawaiian Punch is a drink, see?" Beast Boy grabbed the shopping bag and lifted the heavy container filled with the red liquid.
The green Titan filled a glass and handed it to her. "Try it." As she drank it, a smile crept over her lips.
"It is very sweet, friend." She grinned.
"I even know a song about how it was created. Wanna hear it?" Giggling, Starfire nodded and poured herself another glass. And with the honor of a stand up comedian, the elf sucked in and began to sing.
"This is the story of a banana, who was bringing up some very lovely fruit. All of them had leaves of gold, like the other, the youngest one in green. Here's the story, of a papaya, who was living in a tree all of it's own. There were two fruit in the same forest, but they were all alone! Until one day when this banana met papaya! And they knew that it was much more than a hunch. That these two fruit, could somehow form a fruit drink. And that's the way they all became Hawaiian Punch!"
Before he could go into the chorus, Raven entered, slapping a gag of black energy over his mouth.
"Not while I'm here." She grumbled, monotone. But, curiosity getting the better of her, she stared at him, confused. "What was that song? I've heard the godforsaken tune before…" She just couldn't place it.
"Ymn heem hen hanm mumn?"
Rolling her eyes, Raven removed the gag, waiting for him to again speak.
"You've seen the Brady Bunch?" He grinned.
"Only the theme song. It was TV Land. I was flipping." Raven tried to defend herself. But, it was too late. So she had seen one episode? That didn't mean that she liked the show. In fact, they had to replace the TV after she watched it. It was pure torture.
Explanations:
The Top: in my town, there is a station called K92, they do have an annual Top 400 Party Songs, and that is their real phone number. If you want, you can call them and request whatever song you wish. I do it religiously every day. It's awesome. And as for Starfire and Robin's conversation…that's how I learned about the Birds and the Bees, but I used better vocabulary. Not much better, but I was 13, so what can I say?
Laser Tag: Yah…I'm Robin.
Hawaiian Punch: A song my girlfriend taught me. I sing it in choir a lot, it really peeves the teacher.
