A/N: Yeah. I'm late again. What else is new. I always know what I want to do...

Vincent - ...Just not how to do it.

Kev - Right.

Purtymanagirl58 - I just don't like to be late. I'd rather be early or right on time than late. I've also been trying to revive some of the other stuff I've been neglecting but I just can't get anything out with them. Meh (waves hand) I'll get back to it eventually. Anyway enjoy the fic.

Chapter Six: A Day Off

Beast Boy slowly drifted up from the world of dreams into the waking world. He had been having a wonderful dream. It had been one of the best dreams he'd ever had. He couldn't remember any of it, only that it had been a very good dream. As the blackness of sleep faded he stretched, feeling slightly uncomfortable. He shifted onto his side grasping for his blanket that was no longer covering him. After a few moments of grasping blindly he opened his eyes and looked around. The bed was decidedly higher up than it should have been, which meant that he had fallen on the floor again.

Getting up from the ground he glanced around, noticing for the first time just what a horrible state his room was in. He'd have to remember to clean it later. Now he just needed a shower. He moved to his closet and opened one of the drawers in the chest that was there. He sifted through the drawers for a while finding a clean t-shirt and some sweats (green of course). After a quick shower he dressed and walked slowly to the kitchen area. He was kind of worried. He had said some stupid things the other day and he didn't want his friends to be mad at him anymore. He really hadn't thought anyone would notice his absence. The others always seemed to be wrapped up in their own worlds that they often ignored him. It always seemed that he didn't matter anymore.

He quickly steered clear of such thoughts. He had awoken in a marginally good mood and didn't want to spoil it. Besides, the others had been worried enough about him to have a 'teem meeting' to talk to him. That was a sign that they cared. Wasn't it? He was still pondering that thought as he walked into the kitchen area. Several things were different. Robin sat wearing normal street clothes, something that he normally wouldn't do. His mask was all that remained of his costume. He wore old faded jeans and a robin red t-shirt. The sneakers he was wearing looked as though they hadn't been worn in years, which was a distinct possibility.

Cyborg looked like he always did, except that he had another one of those holograph rings on. When he saw Beast Boy he activated it. He soon looked like 'Stone' again, only older. A black t-shirt and baggy jeans, typical. Raven and Starfire were also dressed for the occasion, whatever that was. Starfire was wearing things that were very, purple was the only way to describe it. Raven had donned the black outfit she normally wore to work.

Beast Boy stood and gaped. "What's going on here?" was all he managed to choke out.

"We've been waiting for you," Robin spoke up, "Today is going to be a guy's day out. We're going to go out incognito for a while and have some fun." Then he looked over at the stove and the two people standing near it. "That and Grace needs someone to cook the tofu for her. She doesn't know how and nobody else will touch the stuff."

Beast Boy shook off his astonishment and moved to take control of the stove. He quickly whipped up a batch of his tofu eggs and bacon. He cooked them quickly and fixed two plates. As he set down to eat he continued to stare. In all his years as a titan he'd never seen robin without his costume, save for his date with Kitten, it seemed unnatural. As he ate Kale spoke up.

"After you eat just find a casual outfit, jeans and a t-shirt or something, and we're going out to a live show at the old theater." he waved a fork full of sausage as he explained, "After that we're gonna spend some time around the city just hanging out. And while we're doing that the girls are going to show Grace what Jump City's all about."

'Stone' grinned, "I even talked the Titans east into taking a break, though Aqualad didn't think he'd be able to come with us. I had to whip up something to keep him hydrated while he's out with us, so it's cool."

"Oh," Robin smirked, "and you'll never guess who's staring in that show." Then Robin did something that shocked them all. He took his mask off. He kept his eyes closed for a moment as he fumbled in a pocket, pulling a pair of dark sunglasses out, and put them on.

All the guys had gotten together and it was a rather large group. The boys were nearing the theater now. Beast Boy sighed as he looked down at his hands. Instead of the avocado green that was normally there, he saw a pinkish color. He had been so embarrassed when both Raven and Starfire had swept him away to 'do his makeup'. The group had even come up with aliases for them to use in the meantime. Beast Boy, to his utter horror, had been dubbed Garfield, after the cartoon fat cat. When he had asked why, they had all just shrugged. "You just look like a Garfield but we're going to call you Gar for short," was all Cyborg had to say.

The Titans East had changed just as much as their counterparts had. Aqualad still had his proud Atlantian demeanor and his hair still fell to his shoulders. His manner had changed though. He seemed much more at ease with the 'land dwellers', especially since he'd been living with them for so long as part of a team. He was striding tall at the front having a relaxed conversation with Robin. He would be using the name Alex.

Speedy sported most the same look as Robin did, though with short red hair instead of black. The cocky young archer had faded into a somewhat overconfident young man. Speedy, or Greg, had mellowed out over the years. He still flirted shamelessly with any woman who looked his way and spent way too much time in front of the mirror, but he was a lot more bearable than he had been. Greg had taken to chatting with Kale about this and that.

Mas and Menos had grown from their short, stubby childhood into fairly handsome sixteen-year-olds. The two had also learned a great deal of English, though their speech still degraded back into Spanish when they were excited or angry. The two were still as hyper as always, but less excitable than they had been. They would be going by the names Marcus and Max for the evening. The two were walking on either side of Stone to avoid touching one another and accidentally setting off their powers.

After a few more minutes the group rounded the corner towards the old theater, and Gar's jaw dropped.

The sign read:

The Amazing Mumbo Jumbo
Three Nights Only
SOLD OUT

The titans stopped at the front and Robin, who had taken the name Shawn, passed around the tickets, "Told ya you'd be surprised," he quipped as he passed Gar.
