Dudes I am SOOOOO sorry for taking so long, but I already have ideas for the next chapter, and I'm hoping to get that up somewhat quickly. OH YEAH! And as an extra bonus me and my friend Brittani (sp, sorry girl) will be co-writing a story called...,or at least I think it will be called, DNA Buddies. So, look for that soon! Good luck with the chapter!
Walking down the concrete path, Beast Boy wondered why he even went to Raven for help from Cyborg in the first place. Happy walked in front of him, and Wisdom and the purple cloaked Raven walked next to him. Timid, Brave, Anger, and Rude walked behind him. Rude was too lazy to walk so she floated above Beast Boy along with Knowledge, whose excuse was that she needed to make sure Rude didn't do anything stupid.
Beast Boy sighed, 'She was the only one not playing. I had to go to Raven, even if I knew that she did not want to be bugged. But, hey, at least I know that she doesn't want to kill me. All she's worried about is getting everything back to normal. I should be helping her though.'
Wisdom caught Beast Boy's sudden change in mood and asked, "Beast Boy, what's wrong?"
Purple glanced worriedly at him, and, placing a hand on his shoulder, asked, "If something's wrong, I'll do whatever I can to help."
Beast Boy scratched the back of his neck, a weird habit he had picked up out of nowhere, and laughed, "I'm fine. Really, girls."
Purple tilted her head to the side, "You sure? You look a little tense…."
She moved behind him, placing her hands on his shoulders, and-
"I'm fine, don't worry." Beast Boy smiled, removing her hands.
The purple cloaked Raven frowned for a second, but quickly smiled again. Wisdom bit her bottom lip, "You're sure?"
Beast Boy sighed, "Ye-"
"Guys, he said he was fine! Just leave him alone," Rude said, floating just above them.
Beast Boy smiled up at her, and continued on his way.
"Well here we are!" Happy chimed.
Each emotion, plus Beast Boy, walked through the gate. Instantly, the black sky that was above them changed to a light pink.
Knowledge looked around her, "What was the point in coming here, again?"
"To cheer everyone up. Everyone is getting all stressed out over whose chakra they have, so I thought we could use a brake."
"Yeah? Good idea, I guess I could use a brake," Rude shrugged.
Purple smiled, "Yes, I could go for some fun."
She eyed Beast Boy suggestively, and Wisdom sighed, "I don't think this will help our current situation, but we all are having a hard time right now. So, let's go have some fun."
Brave stepped forward slightly, Timid following suit.
"I don't think this is such a good idea. We should be helping Raven, not riding roller coasters," Brave said.
"I agree. We should be trying to find a cure. If there even is one….." Timid agreed.
Anger remained silent, though she couldn't help but hope that they could get to stay here.
Rude shrugged, "If you guys want to go, go. Good luck getting there, though. After all, Beast Boy will still be here, along with the rest of us."
"Yeah, and it is awful dark out there." Anger smirked.
Brave gulped, "Heh, I guess we could have a little bit of fun. I mean, I don't want to leave poor Beast Boy here all by himself."
Happy smiled, "Oh don't worry, we'd still be-"
"Anyone up for the roller coast-" Brave started, but then, she got a look at the 6 looped roller coaster, and said, "Uh…. who wants to ride the Mary-Go-Round with me?"
Knowledge cocked an eyebrow, "Jeeze, thought you'd go for the roller coasters."
"You coming or not?" Brave asked, walking toward the ride. Knowledge shrugged and walked away with her. Timid watched as each of her fellow emotions wondered off to their own rides.
Beast Boy looked back at her, "Hey, you wanna ride the Mary-Go-Round with Brave and Knowledge?"
"No," she snapped, "I want to play a game."
Beast Boy looked startled for a second at her outburst, but smiled anyway, "Then, come on. I'll win you a prize."
"I don't want a chicken like last time."
Beast Boy glanced over his shoulder as they walked to a game booth, "What?"
Timid sighed, "Last time, you got us a chicken. Please, can I have something that's not stupid?"
The two stopped at one of those 'Shoot the duck' games, all of the prizes being various sizes of bears.
"Check this out."
The booth was striped red and white with a small water gun, hanging on a hook, next to a sign that said, 'Press red button for assistants.' Beast Boy pushed the button below the hanging gun, but no one came. Glancing over at Timid, who shrugged and shook her head, Beast Boy reached up for the gun. A robotic hand came out from in between the duck booth and the next booth over. The hand smacked Beast Boy's away from the gun, and grabbed it for itself. A silver robot came out, gun in hand, and said, "I am DuckBot1. This game costs one dollar to play."
Beast Boy's mouth dropped, "I don't have any money."
The robot began to walk away until Anger appeared in front of it. "I think Beast Boy wants to play."
Timid walked up behind the robot, "And if Beast Boy wants to play…."
"He should be allowed to play. Are you sure that Beast Boy should have to pay?" Anger asked, smirking maliciously.
Timid's hands began to glow black. The robot handed the gun to Anger, who stepped out of the way for it to pass by her. Anger handed the water gun over to Beast Boy.
"Thanks! That was pretty cool of you."
Anger's mouth twitched as she fought down a smile, "Don't expect it."
Beast Boy laughed, and shot at the ducks. However, no matter how many times he tried to hit one, he always missed. Soon, the water gun was all out of ammo. Beast Boy clenched the gun tightly.
"You still want a bear?" He asked, Timid shrugged, "Then, I'm gonna get you that bear."
Timid and Anger watched as the robot refilled Beast Boy's gun time after time after time, and each time DuckBot1 refilled the gun, Beast Boy seemed to get madder and madder.
Beast Boy screamed in frustration, "ERG! NARFBUCKET!"
Timid's eyes widened, and Anger stared at him. Beast Boy's heavy breathing was the only thing that broke the awkward silence that had followed Beast Boy's outburst.
"W-What did you say?" Timid asked, eye twitching uncontrollably.
Beast Boy turned to face the two girls, "Uh, it's a word that Cyborg and I came up with: Narfbucket. Like, if you want to yell, but you don't want to curse, you just yell that."
Anger's jaw shook, and her lips curved slightly.
"You ok, Anger?" Beast Boy asked.
Timid looked curious, "Whose chakra does she have?"
Rude came walking down the path of the carnival games, and saw a concerned Beast Boy, a curious Timid, and a certain red cloaked emotion, that was now red in the face as well. Running up to the group, Rude could hear sputtering sounds coming from Anger. Anger quickly covered her mouth, and weird noises followed. Weird noises that sounded an awful lot like chuckles. Rude smirked and whispered to herself, "Oh, this is too perfect."
Beast Boy blinked, "Anger…. are you…. laughing?"
Anger's hands dropped to her sides, and she once again stood up straight. She glared at the smirking orange cloaked emotion to the right of Beast Boy, "No, I was choking. Thanks for the help," she answered angrily.
Beast Boy took a step forward towards the girl, but she stepped backward.
"I'm going to ride some thrill rides, if anyone wants to come….."
Anger walked away swiftly, followed by Rude. Timid watched them go and thought to herself, 'That was interesting. When she finds out whose chakra she has, I hope she's not too mad. She could put Beast Boy in danger.'
Beast Boy placed a hand on her shoulder, "You ok?"
Timid nodded and said, "Let's try to catch up with them."
Beast Boy nodded, and the two ran to catch up. Anger stopped in front of a humongous black colored roller coaster. Happy came out from the exit of the ride and ran up to the two emotions, as well as a panting Beast Boy and Timid.
"Wow, going 128 MPH really does it for you. I mean, the way the ride works is so cool, too! A hydraulic launch rockets riders horizontally from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, then vertically 90 degrees into a quarter turn. Riders crest the coaster's tower at an exhilarating 458 feet from the ground, and then plunge vertically into a, 270-degree, three-quarter spiral. The train swoops down a valley and climbs a 129-foot "camel hump" hill, leaving riders feeling weightless before making a left turn and gliding back into the station. I'm telling ya! That's the coolest ride in this whole park! I mean, sure, it's like the shortest ride, but, hey, that makes it more fun!"
Beast Boy's mouth dropped, "Whose chakra does she have again?"
Happy shrugged, and began talking to Beast Boy and Timid. Off to the side, Rude and Anger were having an interesting conversation, too.
"So, Anger, what exactly were you choking on back there?" Rude asked.
Anger just glared, "It's none of your business."
"It is my business, because I know that you were lying. You weren't choking. You were laughing," Rude accused.
Anger stared back at her, "I was not."
Rude smirked, "You're frustrated, aren't you? You have no idea whose chakra you have, and it's killing you," the girl laughed a little and said, in a sing-song voice, "But I do!"
Anger glared, "Spill, Rude, you will tell me. Or else…"
Rude smiled, and looked over her shoulder at a certain pink cloaked emotion. Anger followed Rude's gaze with her eyes, and as she did, her eyes widened as she groaned, "Oh, Hell no."
Rude smirked, "Hell yeah."
Turning her attention back to Rude, Anger glared, "Prove it, Wise Ass."
Rude frowned for a second at the new nickname, and then glanced over at Beast Boy. Suddenly, Rude's frown turned into a menacing smirk, and her eyes once again fell on Anger as she spoke side-long to Beast Boy, "Hey, Beast Boy, why don't you tell us some jokes while we're all just standing here?"
"Sure," Beast Boy agreed.
Anger looked from Rude to Beast Boy. Her eyes widened, realizing what Rude's intentions were. Glaring at Rude, she said, "I hate you."
Rude shrugged, "Go ahead, BB. We're all waiting."
Beast Boy opened his mouth to start his joke, but was interrupted by none other than the yellow cloaked Raven herself, Knowledge.
"What's up?"
"Beast Boy was going to tell a joke. Where are the others?" Happy asked.
"Oh, Brave is coming. Purple and Wisdom wanted to take one more run on the Ferris Wheel, and I was like 'Go crazy.' So, what's this joke?" Knowledge answered.
Brave came running up behind Knowledge, and asked, "What joke?"
Beast Boy groaned, "Can I just tell it now, please?"
Brave nodded, "Sorry, go ahead."
"Thank you! Ok, so how about this one? Three girls are stranded on a deserted island; one is a blonde, one a brunette, and one a red head. It was 20 miles to the nearest island with people on it. The red head yells 'Dude, I can't take it any more!' So, she swims out ten miles, gets tired, and drowns. The brunette goes, 'Dude, do you think she made it? Oh well. I'm, like, going.' She swims 10 miles, gets tired, and then she drowns," Beast Boy smiled as he finished, "So, the blonde finally figures she might as well go. So she swims out ten miles, and is all like 'Man, I'm tired!' So she swims all the ten miles back to shore."
Beast Boy smiled wildly, awaiting the expected laughers of the Ravens in front of him. Knowledge coughed a bit, and Beast Boy looked around him. Not one of the 6 emotions gathered was laughing. Not even smiling. In fact, Knowledge's eye twitched from the mere stupidity of the so called joke. However, something caught the changeling's eye. Anger's mouth, not her whole mouth, just the left corner, was twitching, and soon, the twitch turned into a sad attempt to stop a smile. Joyous laughter filled the air suddenly, making everyone else around her jump. Anger laughed wholeheartedly. Though a bit rough at first, it grew more and more glorious than anyone could have imagined as her laughter continued to grow.
"See, there you go! At least someone here knows a good joke when they hear one!" Beast Boy laughed.
Rude smirked, "I knew it."
Anger struggled to settle herself down, "F-Fine, I admit it. I have Pinky's chakra. Happy?"
"You have whose?" Beast Boy shouted, eyes wide.
Rude snickered, "You know, we could ask you the same."
At this, the emotions chuckled a bit, except for Anger, whose eye was twitching terribly, for she couldn't decide whether to laugh at the girl's joke or to glare at her, as usual.
Anger sighed, "I almost regret finding out…"
Happy giggled, "So, Miss Sour Puss has my chakra?"
Timid rubbed the temples of her forehead, "I'm confused, now. Who has whose chakra?"
"Well, from what I've observed, I believe Timid must have Anger's. Knowledge has Rude's. Rude has become very observant lately, so I think that she must have mine," Wisdom informed, walking up to the group, the purple clad Raven trailing behind her.
"We just found out that Anger has my chakra!" Happy laughed merrily.
Knowledge smirked, "And let's not forget whose chakra you have."
"We can't be sure," Wisdom turned sharply toward the girl.
"Guys, this may be random, but we should get going. There's no telling when Raven will get back, and, besides, this place is getting real boring real fast," Timid spoke.
Beast Boy laughed, "You definitely have Anger's." Anger looked away blushing, and Beast Boy continued, "Look, I think we've all had enough down time, right?" Beast Boy looked around, each of the emotions nodding in response, "So let's go. I'm thinkin… Knowledge's realm?"
"Raven did want us working on a cure," Brave put in.
"Alright, let's go. It's not that far of a walk." Knowledge sighed; she had to admit, she was getting bored as well. "Oh yeah, and, for the record, I'm not rude."
Happy laughed, "Oh, come on! The way you engulfed those chicken legs back at the cabin… You're right. You're not rude; you're a pig!"
Knowledge blushed, and Rude laughed, "Let's just hope the chakra switch hasn't affected her realm very much. If it's as messy as mine, we may never be able to find our way out."
Knowledge rolled her eyes, and the group of 9 headed out to her realm.
Meanwhile……
"Wow, Beast Boy really screwed up this time, huh?" Cyborg asked, sitting on Raven's bed.
Raven was standing in front of him, "So, are you going to help me or not?"
"Alright, I'll help you find the counter spell, but Rae?"
"Yes?"
Cyborg looked at the ground awkwardly, "You… You sure you can handle Beast Boy inside you're mind? I mean, I've been in there before, remember? It's pretty scary, and I know you must have some secrets in your head that you don't want us finding out about. You sure it's safe to leave him in there, ya know, alone?"
Raven sat down next to him, "Believe it or not, I trust him. Beast Boy has, weird as it sounds, matured since the last time he was there, and I don't think he'll do anything stu-…."
Raven covered her mouth quickly.
"What?" Cyborg asked, concerned.
She bent over, hands over her mouth, trying to hold in this feeling in her stomach.
"Rae?"
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Cyborg shot up from the bed, scared half to death. Gasping, Raven covered her mouth again, trying to stop the laughter coming from within. As soon as she settled, Cyborg asked, "What the hell was that!"
Raven wiped away a tear that had formed in her eye from the laugh, and, rather annoyed, said, "That was Beast Boy doing something stupid. Obviously, he must have done something to make someone laugh. Someone who wasn't supposed to…"
"Huh?" Cyborg asked, tilting his head to the side.
"Never mind. Look, if this keeps up, I'll be having mood swings all day. I need to go."
She rushed over to her dresser, where her mirror was, and turned to Cyborg, "Start looking for that spell. If anyone asks where I am… well, tell them something they'll believe. I shouldn't be gone too long."
Saluting, Cyborg laughed, "Yes, ma'am!"
Raven rolled her eyes and left him.
WELL HOPE YOU GUYS LOVED IT! Ummm, next chapter we will visit Knowledge's realm and MAYBE RUDE'S realm. I'm not sure yet though, so don't get you're hopes up. And we will find out whose chakra Bravery has, which should be interesting. Anyway, stick with me here, guys. I'm just now getting back in the groove of things. So, yeah! HOPE YOU GUYS FORGIVE AND HAVE AN AWESOME CHRISTMAS!
