Chapter 1- Bickering and Breakfast
I walked into the main room on an early Tuesday morning to the sounds of two of my teammates arguing their heads off. They were too busy bickering to notice my entrance since I usually tend to be a rather quiet person. I sat down on a nearby couch and watched the two boys argue. Knowing that I would not get any peace and quiet that morning, I decided to set my book down beside me and watch these two until they finally noticed my presence.
"...But you've got Starfire! Why do you want her?" Came the voice of Beast Boy, my green, tofu-loving, and usually very annoying teammate.
"Who said I wanted Starfire? I think she wants me more than I want her," Replied Robin, the spiky haired and masked leader of the Teen Titans. I assumed that these two were arguing over some girl and also that this girl was me, but I could not be certain about the latter.
"Well, you seem to like her," Beast Boy responded, "at least that's what Star thinks."
"Yeah, she THINKS that. That means she doesn't know for sure."
"She probably thinks you like her, knowing how she is. Dude, just chill out and hang out with her for a little while, you might change your mind."
"You're just saying that so you can make your move on Rae while I'm busy with Star, or so I'll change my mind and you'll have her all to yourself."
"Nuh-uh. I'm saying that maybe you should think things through before picking someone. If you spend some time with both of them, then you can make an honest decision between the two."
"Now you're making it sound like I like BOTH of them," Robin retorted, a smirk forming on his face.
"What I'm saying is that you really shouldn't be so impatient. Who knows if she's even gonna go out with you. She'll probably blow half the tower up before she'll say something," Beast Boy smiled back.
[Well, for once, it seems like Beast Boy understands my situation.] I thought to myself as I watched the ongoing battle and took a mental note about the conversation.
"Yeah, but at least I don't constantly bother her to no end with lame jokes and fake meat."
[Point taken.]
"At least I TRY to be closer to her. She like, puts up a wall that no one can break through and hides away all of her emotions. I'm just trying to bring them out."
"Why, so she can blow up half the tower?" Robin asked, getting frustrated with the whole conversation.
"No, so she isn't all bottled up and is more open with us."
"As much as we would all like that, we need to focus more on her importance to the team than anything else."
"I could say the same for you," Beast Boy smirked, crossing his arms.
"Well maybe I know when she doesn't want to be messed with and so that's why I stay clear from getting on her nerves," Robin replied, crossing his arms as well.
[Well now that I'm here, how am I going to cover for myself when those two find out I've been in here the whole time watching them argue over me?]
Just then, the door opened and in entered Starfire and Cyborg, but Robin and Beast Boy didn't exactly notice them either.
"Please Starfire, you really don't have to make me forgiveness pudding. Don't worry about it, I'm fine."
"Oh, but it was so careless of me to run into you in the way of halls. I must make you some forgiveness pudding to make up for the unfortunate event," Starfire stated, frowning.
"If anything, I should be making YOU some of that forgiveness pudding," Cyborg smiled, "After all, you fell down and had a hard landing after bouncing off of me like that," He said kindly, but Starfire seemed to take this rather seriously.
"Oh, but I insist! If I was paying a little more attention, I would have seen you coming and wouldn't have run into you."
I figured now was the time to step in.
"Good morning, everyone." I said dully with a slight hint of sarcasm in my voice and walked over to the group with my book in hand, "I didn't think that all of you would be up before me or else I would have stayed in my room to read this morning instead of coming out here to a group of bickering teenagers. If it wasn't breakfast time, I would have already went to my room, but I figured I would make my presence known." I know it's a lame excuse, and that normally I am a girl of few words, but this wasn't a normal situation.
Luckily, they all stopped arguing and noticed my presence and the presence of everyone else in the room besides the one they were previously arguing with.
"Good morning Raven. I am sorry that we are arguing. Shall I make you forgiveness pudding as well?" Starfire questioned as she walked over to me with the sad look remaining on her face.
"...No, but thank you for offering," I replied, shivering slightly in the thought of Starfire making her bitter forgiveness pudding for all of us.
"Oh, hey Raven, Starfire, Cyborg. We didn't even see you enter the room. I guess we were too distracted with our own argument to notice," Robin smiled lightheartedly.
[You don't know how true you are, Robin,] I thought.
"I think Star and I were too busy arguing ourselves to notice you two arguing and Raven entering the room," Cyborg added.
"I guess we were all too busy arguing to notice each other. That is, all of us except Raven," Beast Boy commented.
"That's because I wasn't arguing with you people. You should try it sometime, it's quite peaceful," I stated half-jokingly while looking at everyone. Leave it to Beast Boy to bring me up in another conversation. He just doesn't know when to quit, does he?
"Was that an attempt at a joke, or were you just being sarcastic?" Beast Boy asked me.
"Both, although I prefer the latter," I replied.
"So," Robin looked at all of us, "What are we going to do for breakfast? Or should I be asking who's going to be making breakfast?"
[Oh no, here we go again...]
"I'll make it!" Beast Boy jumped up, running to the kitchen.
"Don't you even think about it! It's MY turn today!" Cyborg chased after Beast Boy into the kitchen. I decided to follow and break them up before breakfast turned into WW3.
"How about if neither of you cook? I'm sick of your petty bickering EVERY SINGLE DAY. For once, can you two stop and give the rest of us a break from your quarrels?"
They both stopped yelling and looked at me in surprise. I guess they figured if they kept on going I was going to levitate them to the far side of the Tower and blow a random object up in the process.
"Then who will cook?" Beast Boy wondered.
"If it means that you two will stop arguing, then I will try cooking breakfast for a change," I replied. Although I didn't exactly like the idea of preparing breakfast for a bunch of arguers, it was better than more arguing and me blowing something up.
"You? Cook? Alright!" Beast Boy grinned and skipped out of the room.
"Ok, as long as you don't make that tofu stuff," Cyborg replied and left the room.
Outside of the kitchen, I heard Cyborg and Beast Boy tell the other two that I was making breakfast. Oh boy, what a morning this was going to be.
