Kole was trudging up the stairs to the roof. She sighed and opened the door. She saw Jericho playing his guitar. Kole smiled and sat down next to him.
"Hi." He smiled softly. "Could you play something for me?"
It was interesting to hear Kole speak in a cockney accent, but he played anyway…Truth was, she didn't really need to ask him.
"You're really good…You know that right?" Jericho blushed slightly and shook his head no.
"Why not?" He shrugged. Kole touched his arm lightly. "Well I like it. Hearing you play." Jericho smile sheepishly and began to play some more.
"Hey Kole. Hi Jericho." Robin greeted them when they came down.
"Hello love." Starfire turned her head.
"I'm sorry love." Kole said in an apologizing tone. "I just keep calling everyone 'love'. It's starting to get annoying."
"Then why don't you stop calling everybody love?" Raven asked monotonously.
"I can't love!" Raven scowled at the thought of being called 'love' and went back to her book. Kole groaned irritably and got herself something to read.

Kole flopped down on her new bed. She was sharing a room with Jinx. Even though Jinx's rebuttal to room with Kid Flash; who was bunking with Jericho.
"No offense." She had told Kole. Kole had waved it off. According to Robin and Cyborg, they should split up boy and girls. Just in case.
"Hey Kole." Jinx closed the door.
"Hello love." Jinx smirked.
"Still with the 'love' thing huh?" Kole nodded. "If I had to live like that, I'd lose my mind." Kole laughed.
"At least you laugh's still the same." Kole shrugged.
"I guess. But I wish my voice would go back to normal." Jinx laughed.
"Don't worry. I will. Once we face Mad Mod again." There was a knock on the door. Kole bounced off the bed.
"I'll get it." She opened the door. "Hi Jericho." Jericho blushed and smiled softly and then he handed her the book she was reading.
"Oh. I must've left this in the common room." Kole took the book gently. "Thanks Jericho." He nodded and waved. Kole smiled back before closing the door. She turned to see Jinx with a suspicious look on her face.
"What?" Jinx jumped up.
"Ha!" Kole jumped back.
"What?" she squeaked.
"Okay. Since you got this new accent, you've been calling everybody 'love'. But, what's funny is that I noticed that you didn't call Jericho 'love' the entire time. You called him 'Jericho'." Kole cocked her head.
"So?"
"So. My question is, why?" Kole sat back down and blinked.
"I…I don't know love. Why is that?" Jinx shrugged.
"How would I know?" Kole turned away. Jinx snickered silently into her palm.
"Well, whatever it is, I need to know." Jinx put her hands on her hips.
"And how do you plan to do that?" Kole shrugged.
"I have no idea love." Jinx snickered.
"I feel really bad for you."

"Morning loves." Kole said drearily.
"What's wrong?" Raven asked. "You're speaking in an accent and a monotone." Kole sighed.
"I know I've had this accent for only a day, but I'm already tired of it." Starfire put a hand on her shoulder.
"It is alright Kole. We are all your friends."
"Even with your accent." Argent added. Bumblebee nodded.
"They're right." She hugged Kole. "Well, the Titans East are heading back to Steel City." She, Aqualad, Mas, Menos, and Speedy gathered their things.
"Nice seeing you guys again, Robin." Bumblebee shook hands with Robin. "See ya' later Sparky." She winked at Cyborg before the door closed.
"And don't call me Sparky!" Cyborg shook his fist in the air. The roar of rockets filled the air and soon faded away. Starfire giggled.
"Friend Bumblebee is most humorous, yes?"
"Yeah. Sure. Of course." Cyborg said sarcastically.
"Shut up Sparky." Bee's voice came in from the communicator.
"Hey! How'd you hear that?!" Cyborg demanded.
"Have you seen the button I planted on your communicator?" Cyborg took the small device off.
"Yeah. Cyborg out."
"Alrighty then." Raven commented flatly.
