Tari POV
The next day after Robin was sure I was okay he let me go back home. First thing I did was change into everyday normal person clothes and then the girls helped me go pack up my room.
"Oh, honey, we're going to miss you." My mom said as she helped us get the last box in the back of Mari's pickup truck. I trapped my cat, Mrs. Muffins, in the cat carrier.
"I'll visit, I promise." I gave her a hug and then my little sister, Tammy, holding the baby came out.
"Can I have Tari's room now?" she asked. She was only six, our brother was six months.
"No you can't, mom was going to make it into a play room for you and Timmy." I said, giving her a big hug.
"Fine." She pouted. Mom handed my Timmy.
"Oh, you're such a big boy." He had a big toothless smile. I gave him a kiss and he started grabbing at my pig tails. "Yeah, I love you too." I said sarcastically and playfully tugged on his ear.
"I'll visit when I can." I said as Cari and I jumped in the back of the truck and Mari and Kari got in the front.
"Can I come see the tree house?" Tammy asked. "Does it have a good view of the Titans Tower?"
"No and yes." I said as we pulled out. I waved good bye as we started driving to the tree house.
"We'll take care of her, Mrs. Tanner." Mari yelled back as we drove away.
"I can't believe your mom actually signed the papers." Cari said as the wind nearly blew her blue and purple wig off.
"She knows it's for a good reason." I said as I watched the people go by. "Shit." I covered my face as we past the pizza place and stopped at a red light.
"What?"
"The Teen Titans are at the pizza place and I'm the only one of you that doesn't wear a mask
!" I said in a frantic whisper.
"Oh, crap."
"Yeah," I said wishing for the light to change. I peeked between my fingers and saw them laughing and having a good time.
"When's your next performance at the Kiwi?" Cari asked.
"Oh, this Thursday." I said. I looked through my fingers again and saw Robin looking over at us. "Crap, shit, and all of the rest." I said under my breath. I looked again and he wasn't looking. We started moving again and after awhile we got to the tree house and got all the boxes up to my new room.
"Wow," I looked around, on one side of the room there was a small sound booth and on the other a large touch computer screen. "Wicked."
"Yep, we know how much you love to sing." Cari set the last box down.
I let Mrs. Muffins out and she curled up on the bed.
"This is going to rule!" Mari said. "We don't have to go half way across town to see you now."
"Yeah," I looked at my watch. "Crap, I'm going to be late to the office. Lois needs me to help her with the new Titans report."
"When's yours getting out?" Kari sat on my bed and petted Mrs. Muffins.
"Once I can get some dirt on um'"
~Thursday~
"Cari, hurry up! We're going to be late." Kari, Mari, and I were waiting in the living room for Cari.
"Sorry, I'm here." She ran out, her normal brown hair was in a tight bun and she pulled her blue and purple wig on as we walked out the door.

Robin POV
"Hurry up! They perform every Thursday!" Beast Boy whined.
"I to am happy to observe this strange ritual." Star added.
"Um, Star, it's just dancing. Their advertising for their studio." I told her.
"Oh," we walked into the Sweet Kiwi.
"Ladies and gentleman give it up for Jakob and Tari!" the DJ said.

Tari POV
"Give it up for Tari and Jakob."
The crowd started to cheer. I grabbed one of the mics.
"It's all thanks to my partner Jakob, he's the one that makes it comical."
"Oh, now that's not so nice."
"Neither are you." Everyone laughed.
"I think it's about time someone set you straight." He joked.
"Is this a comedy club of a dance club?" they laughed again.
"Well why don't you sing then."
"Now I know it's a comedy club." Everyone laughed as I handed back the mic and started to walk away.
"Oh no you don't." Mari and Kari grabbed my arms and pulled me back.
"You guys let me go, or you're dead!" everyone started to laugh. The put the mic in my hand and the DJ started the music.
"Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing!" everyone chanted.
"I can't help myself
I'm addicted to a life of material
It's some kind of joke
I'm obsessively opposed to the typical
All we care about is
Runway models, cadillacs and liquor bottles
Give me something, i wanna be
Retro glamour, hollywood, yes we live for the
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we wanna live the life
Of the rich and famous
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we gotta taste for champagne
And endless fortune
Fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame baby
A shame, shame
In it for the fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
I can see myself in the movies
With my picture in the city lights
Photograph my mind
And hatever else you'd like to shoot
You decide
All we care about is
Pornographic girls on film and body plastic
Give me something
I wanna see television and hot blondes in odd positions
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we wanna live the life
Of the rich and famous
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we gotta taste for champagne
And endless fortune
Fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
We live for the fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
Isn't it a shame, shame baby
A shame, shame
In it for the fame, fame baby
The fame, fame
Don't ask me how or why
But i'm gonna make it happen this time
My teenage dream tonight
Yeah i'm gonna make it happen this time
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we wanna live the life
Of the rich and famous
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we wanna live the life
Of the rich and famous
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we gotta taste for champagne
And endless fortune
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we wanna live the life
Of the rich and famous
Fame, doin' it for the fame
'cause we gotta taste for champagne
And endless fortune
Fame"
Everyone cheered as I threw the mic at the DJ and stomped away as they cheered and laughed.
Once I got to the booth the girls were sitting at I gave them all death glares.
"You two," I pointed at Mari and Kari, "are dead."
"Tari, can we talk." Jakob came over and grabbed my arm. He pulled me to the back of the club.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Let's dance." He grabbed my wrist.
"Jakob, strictly professional, remember?" I pulled away.
"That's what you always say but we don't have to be." He grabbed my wrist again.
"Ow, Jakob, you're hurting me." He let go.
"Sorry,"
"Jakob, I'm not interested in you, okay."
"But I need you." I stepped away from him as he turned red.
"Jakob leave me alone."
"Is everything okay?" I looked over my shoulder and saw Robin.
"Yes, everything's fine." Jakob walked past Robin and back into the crowd.
"Are you okay?" he asked me.
"Um, yeah, I'm fine." I tucked a bit of hair behind my ear. The music changed to a slower song.
"Would you like to dance?" he asked me. I took his hand and we walked onto the dance floor. We danced and talked. He asked me how I got into dancing, I told him my mom had me start when I was little. He said I sang beautifully, I knew he was getting at something.
"You want to grab a slice sometime? I know a great place." He smiled. I thought for a second.
"Sure, that sounds good." My mind was spinning a plan already.
~that weekend~
"YOU'RE WHAT!" Kari yelled.
"Don't worry, my plans unfolding." I waved a tape recorder and put it in my purse. I pulled my hair into pigtails and walked over to my vanity.
"But I know you, you're going to get caught up in this and, well, remember Dylan." I looked at her.
"He has nothing to do with this." I nearly yelled.
"Sorry," she whispered, "but you need to know what you're getting yourself into."
I swept a gold eye shadow on my lids and looked at her.
"You don't even know what I'm getting into. I'm going to get them hard into the newspapers." I turned back and applied blue shadow on my crease. "I'll get the dirt for the story yet." I put on navy blue eyeliner.
