Clumzy34: How'd you like last chapter? Well this one gets…er…a little competitive. Hope you like! After all the "Spoon of Satin" does not half-ass things, right Lea?
-Smiles cockily-
Lea: -bows head- ….-mumbles- I meant to say "spawn."
Clumzy34: -chuckles- Enjoy my dear readers! Enjoy!
"Great! I'll go tell the guys." He said and departed. Cris smiled and looked at Lea.
"You know that this is going to be hell, right?" Cris asked her still smiling. Lea also shrugged.
"Yeah but that my dear sister is what is going to make it so fun." Lea said slyly. They gave a hi-five to one another and took off towards the gym.
"Alright, Everyone. Let's play. Lea and Cris you guys are team captains." Cyborg said, eager to play. Cris and Lea looked startled at that instruction.
"Er…ok. Cris go ahead…" Lea said.
"Ok…Um…Beastboy." Cris said. Beastboy looked excited. "Go ahead, Lea."
"Alright, um...Cyborg." Lea said unenthusiastic.
"…Clay." Cris said uncertain.
"Raimundo, I guess you're with me." Lea said actually getting into it.
"Okey dokey smokey, let's play!" Cris said. Everyone looked at her when she said "okey dokey smokey." She shrugged.
"Okay, Clay, Beastboy, gather up." Cris said. "Okay we need a strategy. Clay carry out the ball, and Beastboy stay open. Ok?" They nodded. Then they stripped. Clay took off his shirt to show a barely visible 6 pack, Beastboy threw his shirt off and that six pack was visible, then it was Raimundo's turn. When Raimundo took off his shirt, even Raven stared. The 3 girls were in heaven. They stared and stared. The boys looked pleased with themselves. Lea and Raven shook their heads, but Cris stared. Lea elbowed Cris, and she too shook her head.
"O-ok…let's play." Lea said.
"R-right…alright the toss up." Raven directed towards the middle court. The two teams followed. Clay and Cyborg both stepped up. They glared at each other then squatted in position. The ball was tossed up and the game began.
Clay jumped higher and tipped the ball in Cris's direction. She automatically turned towards her basket and made a three pointer. Everyone's jaw dropped, as she strutted herself back into position. Raimundo smiled and thought to himself, "Now we got a game." He ran up against her as she was passed the ball. She dribbled backwards and tried to get around him.
"Not going to happen chic." He said to her. She smiled, faked right, and went left. She dribbled down the court and shot another three. Now Lea was getting mad. She nodded to Raimundo and he nodded back. When Beastboy passed the ball in Raimundo jumped up and stole the ball. He dribbled the ball and passed the ball to Lea. Lea turned around to be greeted by Clay. He barely tipped the ball and it bounce out of Clay's hands into Cyborg's. He turned and shot from half court. The ball bounced off the backboard, Beastboy was right there, and he dunked it! Cris laughed and went to help him up, because apparently he didn't land on his feet. She got to him and held a hand out to help him up. He took it and stood there facing her.
"Thanks." He said.
"Thanks for the dunk. That was cool!" She said and hugged him. Raimundo stiffened. Lea looked at Clay.
"Nice block." Lea said to him. He chuckled.
"Well thank ya little lady. I try my best." He said. She laughed and punched him in the shoulder playfully. Cyborg looked away. The game went on for about 43 minutes. They were all exhausted from playing.
"Alright everyone, it's a tied score. Let's play; the team to make this next point wins. Everyone okay with that?" Cris said, more tired than most of them.
"Cris's team throws in, got it?" Cyborg said. They all nodded. Beastboy went to the end line and slapped the ball to say go. When he threw in Lea got it. She dribbled down the court and passed it to Cyborg. Clay caught it in mid-pass. Clay passed it to Beastboy, who faked shot and passed it to Cris. Raimundo was all over her at this point. Cris faked left and tried right, but Raimundo was on to her. She was at the right side line and went in for a lay-up. She ran up to the basket and dunked it backwards. It bounced off the rim and back into the basket. When Cris fell down she fell on someone, and that someone knocked Lea. Lea grabbed onto Clay's arm and pulled below her. So basically it was a domino effect. Cris opened her eyes and saw that she landed on Beastboy. He groaned from under her weight. She hopped up, dizzily.
"I am so sorry!" Cris said. She started to fall and Raimundo caught her. He held her in a dip position. Beastboy stood up and dusted himself up. He glared at Raimundo as he raised Cris up in a standing position. Lea also opened up her eyes and looked down at who she landed on. I'll give you three guesses and one clue: He's wearing a cowboy hat.
"…Helloooooooo…you ok?" She said, uneasy.
"I'd say so but don't worry about it." Clay said to her. She got off of him with such force she fell back into Cyborg, who steadied her. She shook her head and shook the dizziness out. Raimundo was over the benches putting his shirt back on. Cris walked over to him.
"Hey Raimundo?" She asked.
"Yeah?" He said sticking his head through the neck of his shirt.
"Um…thank you for last night…ya know…the nightmare." She said, nervous.
"Hey, no problem! Anything you ever need like a mentor or someone to talk to, I'm here." He said smiling. She smiled and blushed.
"Okay I don't know about yall but I need a shower. I stink worse than a pig taking a mud bath in the summer." Clay said. They all nodded and chuckled at his synonym.
Under a lover's sky gonna be
with you and no
one's gonna be around
If you think that you
won't fall well just wait and see,
'till the sun goes down
Underneath the starlight
starlight
there's a magical feeling
so right it will
steal you heart
tonight.
Cris had a very good voice rather she liked to admit it or not. She was having a ball singing in the shower. What she didn't know was that someone was listening to her serenade to herself.
Raimundo walked down the hall towards the shower; apparently someone was already in there, because he heard singing. He stopped at the door and listened.
You can try to resist
not to hide from my kiss
That you, can't fight moonlight
Deep in the dark
You'll surrender your heart
But you know, but you
Know that you can't fight
The moonlight
No-o you can't fight it
It's gonna get to you're heart.
Hey I know that song, thought Raimundo to himself. She has a hella good voice! Wow, she just keeps surprising me. When he leaned in to listen to more, Beastboy came out of his room and looked at Raimundo.
"What are you doing?" Beastboy asked.
"Listening to Cris." Raimundo said.
"That is an evasion of privacy! Do you know how wrong…"
"Sssshhh come listen." Raimundo said cutting him off. Beastboy looked taken back but he went up to the bathroom door and listened with Raimundo.
There's no escaping love
once a gentle breeze
sweeps it's spell upon your heart
No matter what you
think it won't
be to long till your in my
arms.
Underneath starlight starlight
We'll be lost in the rhythm
So right
It will steal your heart tonight!
(I didn't write this song…this song is by a Mrs. LeAnn Rimes! Whoo!)
Raimundo and Beastboy both whispered "wow" and looked at each other and smiled. When they looked back to the door they found a young girl staring them in the face. They both fell back in shock with a "thud."
"Are you finished?" Raimundo asked rubbing his head.
"Yeah are you?" Cris asked them crossing her arms. The boys were stunned. Cris was standing in front of them with nothing but a towel on, dripping soaking wet. Cris blushed and walked to her room. Raimundo quickly stood up.
"You have an amazing voice." He said before she entered her room. She turned around to face him.
"You listened to me! How dare you that's an evasion of privacy!" She angrily said to them. She went into her room and slammed the door. Beastboy stood up also.
"Told you! I told you it was evasion of privacy!" Beastboy said to Raimundo.
"Yeah but you listened! You listened in at the door too!" Raimundo said back.
"Only because you told me to!" Beastboy shouted.
"Do you always do what you're told?!" Raimundo yelled.
"Are you quite finished?" A voice said. The two boys looked down and saw Cris was standing there next to them arms crossed and her tapping her foot. Apparently she came out of her room without them knowing.
"Er…yeah we're done." Beastboy said.
"So…Raimundo…I have a good voice do I?" She said to him.
"Look Cris, I am so sorry…" He was cut off from her kissing him on the cheek.
"Thank you. It's not every day you hear that you have a "good" voice." She said and smiled cockily. She let go of his shoulder and walked back into her room. Beastboy was not too happy.
"What the hell was that?!" Beastboy asked.
"Some guys just walk in the light." Raimundo muttered as he touched the place where she had kissed him. He smiled, looked at Beastboy and walked into the bathroom, to take a shower. Beastboy just stood there, jaw dropped and mad. Ok, if that's how it's going to be, game on, Beastboy thought to himself. He smirked and went into his room to cook up a plan.
Lea was getting very annoyed. There she was sitting in a recliner, reading a rather good book. The reason she was getting annoyed was because Cyborg was sitting in a chair opposite of her also "reading" a book. But in all actuality, he kept lowering his book to look at her, but when she looked back he quickly the raised the book and pretended to "read." It was almost as if he was studying her. Finally, she had, had enough.
"Got something on your mind, robot?" She asked him lowering her book and peering through the top of her glasses.
"What? Oh…no I was just…" He started. Clay entered the room and they both looked up at him.
"Howdy." He said cheerfully.
"Hi?" Lea said slowly.
"Sup." Cyborg grunted.
"Well I might be going far out on asking this, but it's a dang good beautiful day outside, it really is…"
"Get to the point please." Lea said cutting him off abruptly and taking off her glasses. He blushed and decided to continue.
"Do ya wanna go for a walk with me?" He asked her. Say no, say no, say no, Cyborg thought to himself. She pondered on it for a moment. It really is a nice day, she thought to herself, and Cris is safe, it's actually not a bad idea.
"Sure." She said. Clay's face lit up like a 4th of July celebration.
"Great!" He said. He held out his hand for her to take. At first she looked at it as if it was poisonous, then she did something no one thought she would. She took it. Clay smirked at Cyborg and the exited through the door. Raven entered the room just in time for Cyborg to yell angrily.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!" He shouted pointing to the door.
"What? Oh! Did the "hick" steal your girl? So to speak." She asked preparing her tea.
"Yes…well…I…wait! What are you saying?" He asked her harshly.
"You "wish" she was your girl." She said turning away from her tea to face him. He let out a big sigh and plopped down on the couch. As soon as he did that the doorbell rang. Cyborg was closest to the door, but was he going to get it? He didn't budge.
"Oh sure! I'll get it!" Raven huffed.
"Would ya? Thanks." Cyborg said turning on the T.V. Raven glided to the door and opened it. There was a young man (about Ravens age) standing at the door.
"Hi! Package for a…" He looked at the label. "Raven Roth." He said and held it out for her to take.
"Guilty." She said and took it.
"Hey! You're Raven the Teen Titan!" He said.
"Guilty again." She said unenthusiastic. She was used to fans.
"Boy they weren't lying." He said adjusting his bag.
"About what?" She asked curiously.
"You're really pretty." He said, smiled at her, and walked away. Raven, stunned, smiled. She closed the door, turned around, and was face to…er…shoulder. Someone else's face, her shoulder.
"Man your short, aren't' you?" Raven asked the person.
"I saw that." Cris said, ignoring the comment.
"Saw…what exactly?" Raven asked.
"You like him don't you?" Cris asked cockily.
"What?! No! I just met the guy!" Raven said taken back.
"So what? You like him!" Cris said.
"No I don't!" Raven shot back.
"Yes you do!" Cris said.
"Whatever! I don't!" Raven said turning red. Cris looked past Raven.
"Is she always this much in denial?" Cris asked Cyborg.
"Yep. Good ol' Raven. Won't accept the fact that she is indeed pretty." Cyborg said still looking at the T.V. Raven blushed.
"Thanks Cyborg." She said. He nodded. Cris shook her head.
"Oh! Cris I have something to tell you. I know what your power is." Raven said.
"Really?! What?" Cris asked excited.
"You are…a dragon." Raven said. Cris stood stunned.
"A dragon?" Cris asked.
"Yes and there is something you should know about dragons. Their emotions are very unstable. So you need to practice keeping them under control. I can help you there." Raven said matter-of-factly.
"Ok cool." Cris said adjusting to the fact that she was a dragon.
"Cool." Raven repeated. "Anything else?" She asked Cris. Cris paused for a minute debating to talk to Raven.
"Well…yeah, Rae there is. You see I've been having these dreams, right?" Cris said. Raven nodded.
"And in these dream," Cris continued. "I'm there, Slade is there, and another person is there, it's a girl." Cris said.
"What does this girl look like?" Raven asked.
"Well she's got blond hair, blue eyes, and she has a beret in her hair." Cris said. Raven closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Then she opened them very suddenly.
"Did…um…the beret happen to be in a shape of a butterfly?" Raven asked scared of the answer.
"Yeah! How'd you know that?!" Cris asked.
"Follow me, Cris. There's something I have to show you." Raven said. Cris nodded and followed Raven to the weight lifting floor. The walked to the end of the hall and stopped in front of a door. It had a name on it. The name read, "Terra."
Clumzy34: Well, well, well! –tsk, tsk, tsk- Damn those cliffhangers! LMAO! Sorry guys.
