Hi guys! I actually wrote this chapter a few days ago...but then I realized that it was nothing like how I wanted it to be, I thought that I was going to have to rewrite the entire chapter, ugh! but I didn't get the chance to 'cause my cousins stopped by for a visit. Afterwards I got of my lazy butt and started working, and I realized that if I did it a certain way, I'd only have to do some editing! So I didn't rewrite the whole thing, I just edited it. All in all, it's still not one of my favorite chapters, but I finished it and edited it the best I could, so...I hope you like it more then I do.

"I can't take it anymore!!!" Junior whispered furiously. Sid sighed.
"Stop complaining and eat, we have cookies." She replied nonchalantly as she sat on the couch, nibbling on a chocolate chip cookie.
"Sid!! It's awful!!!" Junior pleaded, "he follows me everywhere." He whispered. Sid rolled her eyes.
"Come on, you're exaggerating, he's not that bad." She replied. Junior gripped her by the shoulders.
"This morning I woke up and he was having breakfast in front of my door!!!" he argued. Sid giggled.
"Really? That's hilarious!" she continued.
"No it's not!" Junior protested.
"Hello…"
"AHHHHHH!!!" Junior jumped backed as Amp seated himself on the couch next to his sister.
"Hey Amp." Sid greeted casually.
"Heh…I-I'll just be, um…going now…" Junior stuttered before running off somewhere far away from Amp. Sid turned around.
"Hey…where you going?" she inquired, but Junior was already too far away to hear her. Sid sighed and turned back to her brother.
"Amp, would you quit scaring him? It was funny at first but I think your stalking is really starting to freak him out." Sid told him. Amp shrugged.
"Sid, he won't leave you alone. I swear, that's guy's in love in with you." Amp muttered. Sid's eyes widened.
"Really?" she inquired. Amp stared at her.
"I-I mean…weird, it's not like we're going out…or anything…heh." Sid laughed awkwardly, Amp looked confused, Sid then waved at him and nervously shoved another cookie into her mouth.

"Running from Amp again?" Julia observed. Once again, she was stuck outside watching the twins, Junior had been here for a week, but Amp hadn't warmed up to him, and Slade hadn't bothered showing himself.
"He won't leave me alone…I wonder if this is some sort of punishment." Junior began slowly, "Do you believe in a higher power?" Julia shrugged.
"I used to think there might be…but after meeting you I don't think so. I have a hard time believing that an all seeing lord could hate one person so much." She replied. Emerald and Luna paused in their fighting to wander over to Junior, they had taken a bit of a shine to him.
"Ah, he'll get over it eventually." Luna comforted.
"The way Amp is? I don't think so." Emerald argued.
"Come on! June's not that bad." Luna replied. (Luna and Emerald call him June, after a few days Junior gave up on correcting them)
"It's not that, he's going out with Amp's younger sister, of course he doesn't like June." Emerald countered. Luna shook her head.
"But nobody except us knows that they're going out!" she responded.
"But June is always hanging around her." Emerald retorted.
"Guys…I'm not sure if you're really helping him…" Julia trailed off.
"You know, I'm not sure which is worse, being beaten by you guys or living with you guys." Junior thought aloud.
"You're too sarcastic, maybe that's why Amp doesn't like you." Emerald observed.
"That's not it…I mean, he's sarcastic around us too and we like him." Luna replied. Julia nodded.
"See Junior, that's a step forward, they don't hate you anymore." She told him. Junior sighed.
"I keep thinking I should just bale…but then I realize something awful…" Junior thought aloud.
"What do you realize?" Luna inquired, leaning forward wit interest, and Emerald raising an eyebrow.
"Ugh…it's worth it." Junior sighed. Luna gasped.
"Ooh!!! That's so romantic!!!" she exclaimed, "I hope that I can fall in love like that too!!" Luna gushed. Junior stared at her, then he turned to Emerald.
"I feel for you." He told him. Emerald nodded.
"Yeah…she just won't shut her yap." He replied. Julia turned to them.
"On a different note, do you guys really think it's okay that everyone else thinks that Junior is just some weirdo lusting after Sid? Nobody else knows that they're going out, I mean…they're bound to find out eventually, and then what do you tell them? They'll want to know why it was so important to hide it, and we can't tell them that it's because he's Junior know can we? " Julia inquired.
"Well, if I tell them now I'll just die sooner, so what's the harm in having some fun first?" Junior asked. Julia sighed.
"You have to, plus, the three of us will vouch for you, not to mention Sid, so maybe they won't kill you." Julia pushed.
"Julia's got a point," Emerald began, "if you wait until the others find out on their own, the fact that you're June I mean, they'll think you're spying on them for information or something, and then you'll have to leave for sure." Luna hugged her brother.
"Aww! Emerald doesn't want you to leave!!!" she gushed.
"Stop hugging me." Emerald told her menacingly. Luna ignored him. Junior raised an eyebrow.
"Uh…nice to know I'll be missed…I guess." He said. Luna stopped hugging Emerald.
"No! You're not going to be missed because you're not leaving!" she exclaimed, "Because I'm TELLING!!!" She yelled before taking off, flying to the top of the tower.
"HEY!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!! WHAT ARE YOU TELLING?!?!" Junior shouted after her.
"You could catch her if you ever practiced with your powers." Emerald scolded. Junior groaned.
"But I have no idea how Tameranians activate their powers! You can fly! You catch her!" Junior replied. Emerald sighed, but reluctantly flew up and grabbed his sister by the boot, dragging her back down. Though she didn't go with him willingly…
"EMERALD!!! LET ME GO!!! HEY!!! I DON'T WANT JUNE TO LEAVE!!! AND NEITHER DO YOU SO LET ME GO!!!!" she screeched. Emerald ignored her and landed back on the ground, throwing her down. She jumped up and hugged Junior.
"Don't gooooooooooooo!!!!" she whined, "Emerald!!! You said it yourself!! If they find out on their own June'll have to go away forever!!!! If we tell them that Junior and Sid are going out they'll realize that since we know that means that they weren't hiding it for some horrible reason and then they won't find out that he's June and then he can stay."
Junior sighed. Emerald looked at him for a moment, then looked back at his sister, he seemed to space out for a moment, then sighed and went back to ignoring her. Luna went over to her brother and gripped his robe, she began shaking him back and forth.
"HE'LL GO AWAY FOREVER, EMERALD!!! FOREVER!!!!" she yelled. Emerald glanced at Junior again, and then he actually took off towards the roof. Luna cheered and followed him. Junior turned to Julia.
"I'm screwed, aren't I?" he asked her.
"Well…considering that their plan has no logic…" Julia trailed off. Junior groaned. It was then that Sid came skipping around the corner, Amp walked behind her, dragging his feet.
"Hiya!" she greeted pleasantly. Junior waved at her weakly.
"What? No sarcasm?" Amp inquired. Junior groaned. It wasn't long before Luna and Emerald came back down.
"Nobody was up there!" Luna informed them as she and her brother landed. Then she spotted Amp.
"Oh! It's Amp! Amp, J- I mean Kyle is goi-" Emerald, Junior and Julia immediately grabbed Luna and pulled her to the other side of the tower.
"BE RIGHT BACK!!!!" Julia shouted hastily.
"Luna! What were you thinking?!" Julia inquired angrily.
"Out of all the people here, you do not tell Amp first!!!" Junior shouted. Emerald nodded.
"Yeah…Luna, you've done a lot of things that were…well, this was just stupid." Emerald added.
"Hey! I told Amp I'd be right back, what's going on?" Sid inquired as she rounded the corner.
"Well…um, these 3 are intent on telling the others that we're dating and sealing my fate…of death." Junior replied sarcastically.
"What?" Sid asked confusedly.
"We wanna tell the rest of the Titans that you guys are going out." Luna explained.
"No! Amp'll kill him! And they'll wonder why we hid it and find out that he's Junior!" Sid protested.
"I know!" Junior agreed, getting a bit annoyed now.
"Shut up!" Sid ordered, "This is none of your business!" Junior gave her a confused look, but she ignored him.
"So what are we gonna do then?" Julia inquired.
……………………………………………..
"Hey Amp. What's up? What are you doing out here all alone." Midnight inquired as she and Fiery began walking over to him.
"Well…Julia, Sid, Luna and Emerald were here but…oh, wait, I think Kyle was here to." Amp replied.
"You…do know that his name's not really Kyle…right?" Midnight inquired. Amp shrugged.
"I dunno, what do you mean? Is he someone else?" he asked. Midnight paused.
"Well…I don't know who he really is…but come on, his name's not Kyle, he's just not a Kyle type person." She explained.
"I'm not following." Amp replied.
"Well you know, he's more of a…actually, he's kind of weird, you know, like those kids who have identity issues 'cause they're named after their parents." Fiery babbled.
"Yeah, one of those kids." Midnight agreed. Unfortunately, Luna spotted her.
"MIDNIGHT!!!!" she screeched, grabbing Emerald by the hand and zooming towards her.
"Wait!!!!" Sid called. Luna gripped her sister by the wrist with her free hand, but before leaving turned back to Sid and screamed loudly and rather quickly.
"SHE'S MY SISTER AND I CAN TELL HER WHATEVER I WANT SO YOU CAN JUST BUT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screeched. Luna then flew up to the top of the tower, bringing her siblings with her and leaving the others shocked on the ground. Junior turned to Amp.
"Well it was nice having you stalk me! Bye now!" Junior exclaimed, he was about to jump off of the island but Sid grabbed him by the back of his collar.
"And just where do you think you're going?" she asked. Junior gripped her by the shoulders and shook her.
"He's going to murder me!!!" he whispered violently.
"Well I don't think that ripping my arms off is helping." She replied. Junior turned to Amp, who was glaring at him darkly. Junior slowly let go of Sid, and backed away.
"WHAT?!?!" Midnight's voice echoed from the roof…
"Wow…I thought death would come a lot quicker but…I'm still here." Junior thought aloud. Sid smiled and smacked him slightly in the back of the head. Midnight flew down so fast she was only a green blur. She was staring straight at Junior.
"You are not." She said as her siblings landed beside her. Junior was leaning back as far away from Midnight as he could, and he had a nervous look on his face.
"Not what?" Amp inquired. Midnight turned to him.
"Luna and Emerald said that-"
"GRAB HER!!!" Julia exclaimed. Everyone pounced on Midnight and dragged her to the now famous 'other side of the tower'.
"Any idea what they're doing?" Fiery ( who had been surprisingly quiet this entire time) inquired.
"Nope." Amp replied.
………………………………………….
"Midnight!!! If Amp finds out he'll kill Junior!!!" Sid warned. Midnight stared at her.
"Sid! Why didn't you tell me that you were going out with him?!" Midnight yelled.
"Midnight!" Luna scolded, "Kyle's very nice!! Remember how yesterday Emerald and I stole your robe and did impersonations of you behind your back and then you walked in and we threw it on Kyle and ran away." Emerald groaned.
"Luna…she didn't know that we did that." He told her angrily.
"Oh…well we did…" Luna replied sheepishly.
"Really? Then…I'm sorry for slapping you." Midnight told Junior. Sid looked over at her boyfriend.
"You never told me about that." Sid said. Junior shrugged.
"I dunno, I get these weird looks and conversations from everyone around here and it just sort of blended together with all the other times I get weird stuff aimed at me." He replied.
"But why didn't you tell me?" Midnight inquired.
"Midnight, you know Amp would kill him, and with you two being such good friends and all…" Luna lied.
"But I wouldn't have told!" Midnight protested.
"Well, uh…know we, um, know that…" Junior replied. Emerald looked up at Midnight.
"No offense sis…but you have a bit of a problem with keeping secrets. Remember the time I made you promise not to tell anyone about that incident in kindergarten? Well, how does every member of the Teen Titans know that story? And that other time when-"
"Ok! I get it!" Midnight interrupted her brother, "But this is just dating! I mean, who cares if the others find out?!"
"Amp would kill him!!" Sid argued, "I mean, Amp already hates him because we hang out and he's so sarcastic…"
"And what a convincing argument that is." Junior said sarcastically.
"Well, he is pretty sarcastic." Midnight agreed.
"Midnight, come on. I really need you to keep this secret, even if you don't slip it to Amp, if you let anyone else know they might let it slip, Julia and your brother and sister can keep the secret, please tell me you can to!" Sid pleaded. Midnight sighed.
"Well…I guess." Midnight replied.
"THANK YOU!!!!" Junior yelled. Midnight stifled a laugh.
"He's kind of funny." She whispered to Sid. Sid nodded.
"I know! Isn't he?" she replied. It was then that Amp and Fiery stuck their heads around the corner.
"You guys done talking? Fade just came down, we're going out to eat!" Fiery announced.
"Coming!" Julia replied.
……………………………………..
"So, are you two ready to begin?" Slade inquired. Tally and Terra both nodded. Slade led them into the dirty living room of the house, behind the now empty cage the trapdoor still lied there. Slade stopped in front of it. Tally and Terra stared down at it, and then watched him, eagerly waiting to see what was under the door. Slade reached down and opened up the trapdoor, he jumped inside. Tally and Terra followed him, in the dim lighting, it took their eyes a moment to adjust, but when they did…
"Wow…" Terra whispered, "It's…"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This chapter's kinda weird...but it shows in what way Junior has settled into the tower, (not so well). It seems the other Titans don't quite know what to think of him, their weren't many characters in this chapter either...I just didn't have much room. But more will happen in the next chapter, I'm pretty sure. Oh man...my arms hurt so bad...never ever go out on an intertube all day without sunscreen, not only do you're arms get sore from hanging on to the tube, the sunburn makes it even worse, not to mention the light headedness...plus, afterwards I took a shower with hot water, OUCH!!!!!! But I was so dirty from the lake water I had to. But still, OW!!!! Oh...typing is hard...arms...so hard to move...must concentrate...on fingers...hey! I uploaded this right before midnight! Cool! (at least according to my clock) Bye Bye!
