Author's Notes: This so would have been up sooner had I not… well I got asked out, so that was a bit distracting. I talked to him online all day, then right before I had to leave, he asked me out… I'm deliriously happy. But all of this "having a life" business is interrupting my writing schedule! Ergh! Anyway, I feel really bad, I recently posted another one-shot, "Midnight Musings," but I forgot to say that in the actual story and people keep asking when the next chapter is coming out! I don't have one to give, I'm very sorry! Please forgive me!
Anyway, I personally enjoyed the recent episodes! Whoo! I thought they were great! But people, let's never assume the wonderful couples we all know and love are changing. Don't anyone get the idea of Robin/Raven. Ugh, my brother's friend was talking about it, and I was like, "Shut it, fool." Anyway, ahem, moving on. Oh, and the fact that Slade has returned will not change him in my story. He's still crazy, don't worry!
Also, let's all thank SushiChica for the Slade idea for this chapter! I personally loved the idea, and I hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I did!
Other than that, review replies being on the bottom, I can't think of anything else to say. So let's just get on with the chapter!
Actually, on that note, this chapter may similar to Chapter 2, but with a different twist, hehe! In the planning stages of this story, I couldn't decide which scene I wanted to use, so now I'm doing them both! I hope you enjoy!
Chapter 11: The Fridge That Wouldn't Stay Full
"Robin, is this what you had in mind?" Starfire asked, holding up a large box of cereal.
Robin smiled. "Yeah, that'll work."
It was two weeks after Robin had attempted to talk to Starfire in her bedroom, then finally kissing her on the roof of Titans Tower. For a few days, they had managed to keep their relationship hidden until Cyborg walked in on them in the main room, wrapped in each others arms. They had waited with bated breath, wondering what he would say, but he merely shrugged and said, "Finally," then turned on the television. Ever since then, they hadn't been shy about it, but Robin still endured endless teasing from Cyborg and Beast Boy, when they were in the mood.
They hadn't heard from Stalwart since they had delivered the Sangrian Crystal to him. They all tried to push it to the back of their minds, and for the most part, they succeeded. They trusted Cyborg's judgment, and were sure he didn't make a mistake in his assessment. Still, it flitted through their minds like small butterflies, barely touching conscious thought, yet not leaving.
Cyborg had only spoken to Ivy and Alanna briefly two days prior to shopping day. They hadn't found anything new, and only called to talk.
Grocery shopping day had occurred a week or so ago, but this time, they sent Beast Boy to do it. He failed so miserably at following the list, the Titans decided that each member of the team would be responsible for buying their own food from now on. This seemed to be working, but Starfire was still unclear at what certain foods were, so Robin had volunteered to help her out.
"I think I'd like one as well," Starfire said, turning around to look at the rows and rows of cereal. She paused to think.
Robin looked side to side, checking to see if anyone else was with them in the aisle. Seeing that the coast was clear, Robin smiled behind her back and leaned in to kiss her neck. But at that very moment, Starfire crouched down to inspect the lower rows, and Robin ended up planting a kiss on Toucan Sam's beak. Scowling, he drew back quickly, hot in the face.
"Is this kind delectable?" Starfire asked, straightening up and holding up a box. Robin grinned quickly.
"Definitely."
Meanwhile, Raven was a few aisles over, trying to decide what kind of soup she ought to buy. There were times when she just couldn't bring herself to eat the food being served for dinner, so she decided she might as well have something easy to make.
"Incoming!" a voice cried from her left. Raven whirled around to see Beast Boy barreling down the aisle, his feet on the back of his cart, going full speed. Raven quickly phased as darkness through the floor, clearing a space for her green teammates to zoom by unharmed, then reshaped herself as fast as possible. She reached out with her dark energy, grabbing hold of the cart and Beast Boy. He choked, and she dragged them back to her.
She carefully placed Beast Boy on the hard, linoleum floor. He looked sheepishly down at his hands.
"What are you doing?" Raven asked icily. "You could have run over someone! You could have killed someone, you were going so fast. When are you ever going to grow up?"
"When I'm thirty," Beast Boy said, smiling guiltily. But one glare from Raven wiped the smile clean off his face. "OK, OK…" He got up, brushing himself off. "Live a little, will you?" he asked. He grabbed his cart and left the aisle, moving at a normal pace this time.
Raven stared after him, feelings of hurt swirling inside her. She didn't even know why. Why should it bother her? She knew she couldn't open up to anyone, enjoy life, express emotions. Then why did it make her sad to realize other people knew it?
She stared down at the floor, her eyes dull. She hated that her friends knew about her restrictions. She had never been entirely comfortable with discussing them, but somehow, the truth had leaked out. What she wouldn't give to be free of the shackles that held her back from her teammates… her friends.
Raven sighed, then looked up. She picked an Italian soup, placed it gently in the cart in front of her, and moved on in the opposite direction Beast Boy had taken.
-
Cyborg grinned cheekily at the college girl he passed in the vegetable aisle. As she blushed prettily and smiled back, he felt very proud of himself.
Cyborg couldn't help but allow his head to swell. He was a ladies' man and he knew it.
Grabbing a bag of pre-made salad, the cybernetic teen began to whistle. As he rounded the bend, he spotted Beast Boy up ahead.
"Yo!" he called to his friend. Beast Boy turned around. He then paused, noting just how many groceries were piled into Cyborg's cart.
"Uh… this might be a problem," the green Titan said. His cart was also filled to the brim.
Cyborg stared at their carts. Alone, they would make at least a dozen bags, if not more, and they still had to add up what the other three teammates would have. "Can't you put any of that stuff back?" Cyborg demanded. Beast Boy raised an eyebrow.
"Why don't you?"
Cyborg sighed. "Alright, I guess we're just gonna have to squeeze everything into the T-Car. No big deal."
-
"Crap."
The Titans had finally regrouped in the front of the store, about to make their purchases. Everyone's cart was absolutely loaded, which would prove to be a problem for their transportation. Robin and Starfire had stayed together throughout the entire shopping trip, and their carts had similar contents. Starfire's did, however, have a very large supply of mustard.
Raven had continued to shop after she and Beast Boy had clashed, and her cart was almost as full as everyone else's. She was usually the one with the smallest appetite, and didn't feel she would need as much food. Besides, if she ran out and was still hungry, she'd eat some of Cyborg's and blame it on Beast Boy.
Cyborg and Beast Boy had already compared carts, and were now trying to figure out how they were going to fit everything into the car.
"OK, we can strap some down to the roof-"
"Like that'll work," Raven said scathingly. Beast Boy turned to her, confused. She had snapped at him many, many times before, and he knew she would snap at him many, many times later, but this time, she had spoken with much more… spite than before. He knew she must be angry about something, but he had no idea what.
Cyborg rubbed his temples. "You know what? I built the T-Car pretty big… the multiple times I've had to build the thing… so we should be able to fit everything. If not, we'll think of something."
Raven almost laughed out loud at the predicament they were in. The Teen Titans, now an elite fighting force, protectors of a huge city, were having trouble putting groceries into a car. They hadn't even bought them yet, and they were already confused at what to do. Raven would have had to fight the urge not laugh - had she not still been seething over her encounter with Beast Boy.
She didn't even know why it made her so mad.
Finally, all the Titans had paid for their purchases, and were all walking out into the parking lot. There were dozens of people staring at them. The Teen Titans were, after all, heroes, and people could never seem to get over the fact that heroes had to eat at some point too.
"I have another idea!" cried Beast Boy. The others looked at him expectantly. He paused. "No wait, I lost it."
"Here we go," mumbled Cyborg as he popped open the trunk. The others open the doors so they could fill the seat as well. Raven and Beast Boy ended up loading the trunk together.
"Why are you so mad?" Beast Boy asked, carefully setting a package down.
Raven sneered at him. "If you have to ask, you'll never know."
"Hey, c'mon," he said, putting a hand on her shoulder. "What did I do?" Raven glowered at him and tried to break free, but Beast Boy held on tight. "Tell me." Raven gave him the worst death glare she could muster, but it still didn't work. She was taken aback a little at that. No one had ever been able to stand up to her horrible death glare.
"Beast Boy-"
"Please, Raven. I wanna know what I did."
Raven sighed and looked away. She really didn't want to get into it, but Beast Boy was relentless. He always was. After she had nearly lost control in their first battle with Dr. Light, he hadn't stopped until she explained what was going on. He had journeyed into her mind to discover her secrets, and he hadn't stopped there. He had even ventured into her heart in some unknown way…
Raven nearly smacked herself on the forehead. What was wrong with her? Beast Boy finding a way into her heart, the idea was just stupid. 'I am losing my mind,' she thought calmly. 'I need to go home and meditate.'
But at the time, Beast Boy was still holding onto her, wanting an answer.
"You…" Raven began, but she couldn't find the words to finish her sentence. It seemed childish now out in the open, but she was still peeved.
"Was it something I said in the store?" Beast Boy asked. Raven just looked at him. The green Titan sighed and let his hand drop, with a tiny surge of disappointment from Raven, but she quickly repressed it and forgot it. "Look, I'm sorry. I don't always think before I say things. You know that." Raven rolled her eyes in affirmation. "I didn't mean to say you don't live… well, life as it is… um… OK, I don't know what I'm saying here, but I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I'm sorry."
What Raven said next surprised them both. "Apology accepted."
Beast Boy blinked at her for half a second, then grinned. "Great!" They finished packing up the trunk in silence, Beast Boy's smile not quite faded and Raven's face slightly pink.
"Alright ya'll," Cyborg called from the front of the car. "We need to figure this out." Beast Boy and Raven went around to his side and peered in through the glass. The two front seats remained clear of any bags, but the entire backseat was covered.
"I, obviously, am driving," Cyborg said, opening the driver's door. "Someone can take the front seat." He sat down behind the wheel and looked up expectantly at his teammates. The other four looked around, trying to determine who would get the one and only seat.
Raven opened a back door. "I'll sit here," she said, lifting up a bag of groceries. She sat down as well, then set the bag carefully on her lap, so as not to tip it and spill its contents. Robin opened the other front door.
"I'll take here," he announced. Starfire and Beast Boy stood on opposite sides of the car, unsure of what to do. Beast Boy decided on becoming a lizard, and he quickly changed and crawled in through the open door near Robin. Beast Boy then clung to the ceiling upside down, a very uncomfortable position. Starfire felt a slight tug on her wrist, and looked down to see Robin, smiling. She grinned too, and slid into the car, carefully placing herself on top of Robin. She leaned back into his chest, and he put his hands on her upper thighs.
"I don't wanna see that," Cyborg said gruffly, and reached back to take the bag off Raven's lap. He set in precariously on the CD case between the two front seats. Robin laughed.
Beast Boy turned his beady lizard eyes onto Raven. She held his gaze as long as she could, then sighed. "Fine," she said, and felt something soft drop into her lap. Beast Boy had become a green kitten, and was soon curled up on top of her legs.
"Hey, this actually worked out perfectly!" Cyborg said cheerfully, as Robin pulled the door next to him closed, causing Starfire to giggle.
Cyborg didn't know how right he was.
Raven stared out the window as they got on their way, Cyborg scanning through the radio stations in an attempt to find a song he liked. The sky had grown dark, and as she watched the pattern of street lamps flick by, the growth and recede of think yellow light, she felt something warm press into her hands. She looked down to see Beast Boy-turned-green-kitten rubbing his head against her hands. She pushed him away, her face warm. He sat on her knees, his head cocked. He then rammed her in the stomach with his head. Raven jumped at the impact and shot the kitten a glare. Beast Boy only looked at her expectantly. She sighed in defeat and began to stoke the kitten's back, trying hard to pretend it was just a stray, some cat she didn't know.
"Sweet!" Cyborg cried as a rap song came filtering through the speakers of the car. He began to sing along.
"I don't know what you heard about me, but you can't get a dollar out of me, no Cadillac, no perms, you can't see, that I'm a - Star, don't touch that - P-I-M-P!"
Robin rolled his eyes under his mask. Cyborg loved to think he was a ladies man.
Starfire pouted as she moved her hands away from the dashboard. She loved making the windshield wipers dance.
Raven continued to pet the green kitten in her lap. She looked down to realize Beast Boy had fallen asleep. She couldn't help but let a small smile escape her lips.
"How are you doing back there, Rae?" Cyborg called over the music. Raven jumped, spilling Beast Boy onto the floor at her feet, straight into another bag of groceries.
"Um… we're fine… I'm fine… no need to worry about us." Cyborg raised an eyebrow, and tried to turn around to look at her, but found he couldn't look past the two lovebirds in the front seat, where Robin was tracing words with his finger onto Starfire's thigh and making her guess what he was spelling. Cyborg nearly gagged.
Beast Boy clambered out of the bag, bits of lettuce stuck to his fur. Raven scooped him up from under his front legs and deposited him in her lap again. She picked out the stray lettuce leaves, flicking them onto the ground. Beast Boy looked up at her, shocked and secretly pleased at the display of affection. Raven put a finger to her lips, indicating the treatment was their secret. Beast Boy curled his lips up in a kitty grin.
Cyborg hit the scan button again, searching for a good radio station to leave on. He had one of the best antenna, catching almost every station within a huge radius. He remained blissfully oblivious to whatever Robin and Starfire were doing in the next seat over. He knew they would never engage in behavior to risqué, for it simply wasn't their nature. They were both responsible and respectful, and knew they both had to be heroes. While Cyborg was glad that they were finally together and could deal with a little bit of public displays of affection, he still didn't want to have to see it all the time. He concentrated on driving and staying on the correct side of the road. But because he was filtering out as much as he could, he entirely missed the sparks that flew in the backseat, unbeknownst to even the ones who caused them.

"Oh, it's just the background noise!" Slade called loudly, trying to be heard over the din of the subway. He was just getting off the train onto the crowded platform. He reached into a pocket and grabbed a ticket. He began to wade through the crowd, attempting to locate his next gate.
"Can you hear me now?" he asked, yelling into his cell phone. "Darn!" he cried as he narrowly avoided a head-on collision with a pregnant woman. She was laden with what looked like fourteen months, and Slade did not want to cross her. She glared at him over her shoulder.
Slade received many strange stares as he walked by. He was still in his uniform, and while the people of Jump City were used to people running around in odd clothes, the fact that he wasn't making any trouble confused them. They never saw someone dressed up like that, with the exception of the Titans, engaged in normal activities. Usually when people wore bizarre clothes, they were villains. But Slade was behaving as one of them, riding the subway.
"Can you hear me now?" Slade demanded into his phone. "Argh!" he yelled with impatience. "Oh, hold on though," he said loudly, and got into the line for the right gate. He slid his ticket through the slot, and the light on the end turned green, allowing him in. He pushed through the small bar used for counting passengers, and adjusted his phone to prop it up against his ear. He began to dig through his pocket, in search of something else.
"Yeah, I'm looking for it!" Slade said into his cell phone. He paused, apparently listening for an answer. "Yes, yes, I know I have it! I just have to find it!"
Slade rolled his visible eye. "No, I didn't lose it. How irresponsible do you think I am?"
"Here it- no wait, never mind, that's not it." Slade took out a skeleton key and pitched it over his shoulder, where it hit someone in the back of their head. The man turned around, nursing his wound, trying to discover his attacker. But because the subway was so crowded, he had no idea who it was, and moved on, a scowl adorning his face.
"Aha!" Slade cheered. He pulled out a comb. "Drat, not it. Yes, I'm still looking!" Slade threw the comb away as well, this time landing in a business woman's coffee. She was distracted with her own cell phone and didn't even notice until she went to take a sip. She gagged and spit the coffee back into the cup, utterly repulsed by the stray comb. She propped her phone up with her shoulder and pulled the comb out delicately, her face twisted into a look of disgust. She dropped it at her feet, then examined her coffee cup again. She reached in and grabbed a long, red hair. As she pulled out another one, she shook her head, almost causing her phone to fall. She threw the cup in the nearest trash can and hurried away.
"This would… not be it." Slade said, disappointment in his voice. He listened to his phone again and laughed.
"Do you think I'm stupid?" he asked good-naturedly. His eye grew steely again. "I take offense to that. I should see you hanged!" He winced as he listened again. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You know I am, right?" He paused again. "Alright, alright, I'm looking! Sheesh…"
This time Slade yanked out a pencil. He tossed it, and it sailed like a dart through the air. It finally struck a little girl's doll, right between her plastic painted eyes. The girl turned to look at her doll, noticing the impact. She stared at her punctured doll for a moment. A scream suddenly erupted from her lips and tears poured from her eyes. Her parents looked down to find out what the cause of her sudden outburst was. When they saw, her mother became horrified that some cruel person would ever do that to a little girl. Her father looked outraged, swirling around to find the pencil-wielding-doll-murderer. But no one was clearly guilty, so the family moved on, the girl still in tears.
"It has to be in here somewhere," Slade mumbled to himself. "I didn't say anything!" he called into the cell phone. "C'mon, c'mon!" he pleaded quietly with the missing object.
Slade felt a tap on his shoulder. "Hold on," he spoke to his cell phone, and covered the receiver with his hand, lowering to his waist. He turned to see a pretty young woman. "Can I help you?" he asked in a strangely polite voice.
"Um… sir? Why are you talking to that banana?" Slade stared at her for a moment, then looked down. In his hands, he held a ripe banana, slightly squashed from being pressed between his shoulder and his ear. Slade lifted the banana to his face, looking utterly perplexed. The woman looked from side to side, then darted away, more than a little put out. Slade continued to stare at the banana.
"Wait…" he said aloud to himself. "This is not…" He put a hand up to his chin in the stereotypical thinker's position. "Then who was I talking to?"
-
The T-Car rolled into the garage of the Tower. Cyborg turned off the ignition and got out of the car, stretching his legs a little. Starfire floated out from her side of the car as Robin got out behind her. Raven's door opened and the green kitten leapt lightly from her lap, bowing into the stretch position. Beast Boy resumed his human form as he yawned, having dozed in the car ride home. Raven got out, putting her hood up to shield her face.
"Alright team, let's get everything into the Tower," said Robin. He and his teammates began to unload the T-Car when Beast Boy froze up.
"What is the matter, Beast Boy?" Starfire asked from behind four or five bags.
"What's up, BB?" questioned Cyborg. Beast Boy still didn't move. The Titans all put down the bags they were carrying and hurried over to their green friend.
"Is everything OK?" Robin asked anxiously.
Beast Boy snapped his fingers suddenly, startling his friends. "I just remembered my idea! Some of us could have flown home!" The Titans stared at him. "What?"
Cyborg groaned. He smacked Beast Boy on the back of his head and picked up his bags again. Robin threw his arms in the air and returned to his own bags. Starfire frowned and flew off. Raven smacked Beast Boy as well, and he cowered laughing. "Haha, I was the only one to think of it! And it was a good idea too!" Raven began to walk away and gather the bags she was to bring in. Beast Boy scooped up his bags. Grinning, he said, "Hey, maybe it was a good thing I forgot." Raven whirled around to look at him but he had already disappeared through the door, just flitting out of sight before Raven could say anything.
Author's Notes: That was disgustingly short. Eugh. I apologize. It just happened to come out that way, I needed to end it so it wouldn't drag on and on. Anyway, the next chapter will be longer, so hopefully that will make up for it!
Also, I won't be here next weekend… my dad and I are going up to New York to visit my cousin in college. Yay! But that means no story that weekend… boo. I also miss the episode! NO! But I'm taping it, so all is well. Also, that's the first week of vacation, so there should be more written then. I'm hoping two chapters with two one shots and hopefully some of the parody I'm writing… or will write for Teen Titans. More on that later, but keep an eye out for it if you like random, random stuff I hope is funny! I should get some of it up soon…
Also, I just had to put in Cyborg's new theme song. He's now got Jinx, Bumblebee, the woman from the soap opera he interrupted, and Sarasim. (And yes, it's spelled that way, I check the credits… unless I'm a retard who can't read, of course… or my tape was too blurry when it was paused… I don't know, hehe.)
Anyway, the review replies de jour!
The Angel of Anarchy- Thank you for reading! Haha, I'm glad you were able to use the code, I loved the episode it gets you! I read it online and I yelled to my mom, "We have to cereal, now!" She said, "Umm… no." Hehe, but I convinced her. Well, this was the beginning to the slew of BB/R to come. I hope you enjoyed it! Also, thank you SO much for the episode on the computer! bows repeatedly I love you forever. Anyway, I hope you liked the latest chapter!
BB/Raelover4eva- Thank you for your comments! By the way, I love your screen name thingy, hehe. Always great to hear from another BB/R fan! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
ScarletAngel68- Whoo! The Review Goddess strikes again! Hehe, anyway, I love "Episode 257-494!" (I'm pretty sure those are the numbers, hehe.) I heart when Beast Boy steals her cloak. He's the only other Titan to wear it (except Starfire when they switched bodies), making him special. Haha, Cyborg IS a ladies' man, which I had to incorporate somehow into the story, heh. He's such a little player! Anyway, Cyborg is not only a ladies' man, but a squirrel's man! Foamy just has too much fun with him, I'm afraid. Haha, your comment on Robin's spiky head eating his brain made me laugh out loud. It reminded me of this quote I heard somewhere (but I can't remember where, curses) about how someone's hair gel finally leaked into their brain. As my English teacher would say, I "made a connection." Haha, yes, Raven and Beast Boy need to realize they are absolutely crazy for each other. Being the master of this universe, hehe, I can make them do whatever I want… but at times, the story seems to run off on its own, ending up differently than I expected. Oh well! Hahaha, inanimate objects are EVIL! They always make fun of me… that's why I'm such a traumatized little child. I had to include some of that for poor Robin to contend with. By the way, snog is now officially the word I use. I heart it. Haha, you definitely made me laugh… it's so true, Cyborg is WAY more obsessed with Foamy than Robin ever was with Slade. Cyborg also has many talents. He deserves so much more love than he seems to get. Anyway, I dub thee the ultimate Slade theme song person. They never fail make me laugh. But you're right, Stan would have a hard time seeing Slade chew, but the image of Slade standing there with this huge blown up cheek chewing like a cow made me laugh… had to try it, hehe. Also, thank you so much! I'm so very happy to hear you found their little speeches touching! It makes me all warm and happy inside. Haha, my mold could totally take on the blue fuzzy food. Now, apparently, we ninth graders have been told our high school is also filled with mold. Fun. Haha, coincidently, I just watched "The Lost Episode" a few minutes ago. (I was sent home sick today, even though I'm not really. I was car sick from the bus and ran in before first period and scared all the office workers. I did end up tossing my cookies, but the principal person man was patting my back and the whole time, I'm thinking, "If you keep patting me, your toupee will fall off.") Anyway, definitely a random thought. Thanks so much for your wonderfully long review! hugs
starrobin4eva- Thank you for reviewing! It's great to hear you enjoyed the R/S moment, I tried my best and hoped it'd come out OK. I wasn't sure if I'd done a good job or not… Anyway, I hope you liked the latest chapter!
warprince2000- Thanks for your comments! I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the story thus far, and I hope you liked this new chapter!
Slayergirl1362- Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you enjoyed the Cyborg chase scene! Haha, yes, my school is/was infested with mold. It was really pleasant. Anyway, in regards to your review of "Midnight Musings," I'm sorry to say this it was a one shot. ' I was planning on it ending there, but if you can think of anything that might go after it, that would be great! Anyway, I hoped you liked this chapter!
samuraistar- Fellow sap! Hehe, great to hear you enjoyed the last chapter! I heart your idea of a Gothic Cupid, so funny. Haha, as for Cyborg catching Foamy… we shall see. Beast Boy's game? Well, I think he's going to have some other things on his mid aside from video games for a while, but he's never been thwarted before! Ha! Hehe, anyway, I hope you enjoyed the latest chapter!
Change-Of-Heart2- Thank you for reading! Haha, yes, squirrels aren't edible… but my friend doesn't believe me, and is still attempting to chase one down in her yard. Hehe, I'm surprised to hear you get a fine for killing a squirrel! I don't think anyone would notice in my town… they outnumber us anyway, hehe. Anyway, I hope you liked the newest chapter!
M.E. Pal- Thanks for your comments! I'm really glad you enjoyed the R/S get together scene! I was really, really hoping it would come out OK. Hehe, I like your ideas! I've got somewhat of a plan as to where this story is going, but not much in the way of Robin/Starfire stuff. Thanks for giving me some stuff to play around with! Haha, I loved both your Slade ideas, and they're definitely getting in here! Also, thank you, orientation went very well! I'm really enjoying my new school! And I hope that you've been enjoying the story thus far!
luvlifecharm- Thank you for reading! I'm happy to hear you've enjoyed the story so far, and I hope you liked the latest chapter as well!
Bella-Rose01- Thanks for reviewing! Hehe, don't worry, there'll be plenty of R/S and R/BB fluffy stuff in the future! I'm glad you're enjoying the Slade parts! Hehe, apparently Slade was uninformed about My Little Pony's evil powers. Poor Slade. Hah, a lot of people were glad that Robin and Starfire finally got together. Stick around to see how Raven and Beast Boy end up together! Also, in reference to your other reviews, "Dark Forest" in unfortunately a one shot. Sorry! I'm trying to think of ways to continue it, but no such luck yet. If you have any ideas, please pass them along! Anyway, I would love to read your story! Unfortunately, I've been really busy lately, but I have vacation next week and will definitely have a chance! Anyway, hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Eevee-shadows- Thank you for your comments! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the story thus far! Hehe, expect to see a lot more of R/BB in the future! Hehe, yes, Slade's precious pet rock. Truly a great idea, we must thank SushiChica for that one! Anyway, I hope you liked this newest chapter!
SushiChica- Thank you for reading! You officially win the "Most Faithful Reviewer" award. You also discovered my secret (I try to make all my chapters 10 pages, excpet this one isn't 'cause it just didn't turn out that way). But bows you deserve a reward for this wonderful act of bravery against the constraints of grounding and wonderful act of self-sacrifice! Haha, don't worry, I squeal when I am ecstatically happy, but it can be embarrassing. Hehe, I always squeal when I see a commercial for a new episode of Teen Titans, I'm that excited for it! (Speaking of which, can't wait for next week's!) Hehe, Ivy and Alanna are supposed to seem a bit suspicious, so that's great! I'm actually not really sure what I'm going to do with them, but I guess we'll both see, hehe. Anyway, I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the Slade bit! I personally liked that one, hehe. I was really hoping that people would like it, 'cause as I reread it, I wasn't positive it was all that great. Anyway, also good to hear you enjoyed Cyborg's freak out! But don't get caught under the covers! That would be bad, you might be grounded again, and we don't want that! Hehe, anyway, I'm glad you find there to be a lot of difference throughout the story. It was totally my intention, but I wasn't sure if it was working. (Everything makes sense to me in my head, but I don't always know if I got it down on paper correctly.) Haha, yes, you come up with AWESOME Slade ideas. I heart them a lot, haha. Anyway, Get Fuzzy and Fox Trot are both awesome. They're the comics I know will always be funny when I wake up in the morning to go read them. Hehe, I'm glad you agree with me about thinking deeply into things. My friend was giving me a hard time about it before, because she thought you needed to "take things as they are, don't over analyze." I, however, always thought you were supposed to try to understand things more deeply before judging… oh well, different opinions. Hehe, anyway, I better wrap this up, but thanks again for such a great review!
PrincessMakoto- Thank you for reviewing! I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the story thus far! Makes my morale get quite a boost, hehe. Anyway, I hoped you liked this chapter!
Mel-The-Gryphon- Thank for you reading! I'm glad you enjoyed the story so far! Always nice to hear someone likes BB/R! Also, glad to hear Slade has been making you laugh! Hehe, and I'm totally honored for the favorite, thank you so much! Anyway, I hope you liked this newest chapter!
VeelaChic- Thanks for your comments! Hehe, you're right, I haven't updated in a while, bad me! But here's the newest chapter, which I hope you enjoyed, and there should be more on their way very soon!
XxJeterxX- Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Also, it's nice to hear you find Slade amusing! Not only that, but it's great to hear from another R/S shipper! Hehe, anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
Ami-chan-friend-of-M.E.Pal- Thank you for reading! (Hehe, you have a pretty long name, I like it! Way to be different!) Anyway, totally go for it if you want to write a story of your own! Sounds awesome! Let me know when you've got stuff up, I'd love to see! And your ideas aren't bad at all! Hehe, you ought to give 'em a try! Anyway, I hope you liked this latest chapter!
Star-Elie- Thank you for your comments! Hehe, don't worry, it's far from over! I have a lot more planned for the Titans, haha! Anyway, I've always found it so hard to pick which couple is my favorite. I like them both equally, for different reasons. But props to you for your decisive mind, hehe. (And wow, you had a couple screen names! All quite good, if I say so myself, hehe.) Anyway, I hope you liked this newest chapter!
heX- Thanks for reading! Hehe, yes, Slade's return will make my story look a little out of place, but that's OK. On we go! Hmm, as for the other characters you mentioned, I'm not sure. I think if the situation arises, I definitely will! Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter!
Robin's Lil Angel- Thanks for your comments, they were very sweet! I try hard to keep everyone in character as best I can (with the exception of Slade, of course, hehe). Anyway, thank you again for such a nice review, it really boosted my morale! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
ifartinurdirection- Thanks for reviewing! I'm glad you liked the R/S scene, I tried my best! I'm glad you're enjoying the story, that makes me very happy! Haha, yeah, the mold would definitely take on the blue furry food! Not sure who the victor would be, hehe… But anyway, you're totally right, Cyborg's obsession definitely matches Robin's over Slade! Haha, have a tissue for that cold. Anyway, there will be plenty more BB/R coming up, I promise you that! Hopefully I do a good job with it… eep cross your fingers! Also, thank you so much, I'm glad you find my story in character! I always get annoyed when I read stories where they make people blatantly out of character, and I was really hoping I wouldn't become one of those people! Anyway, I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the Slade bits! (And don't worry, I can't spell either.) Anyway, here's the update you wanted, and I hope you enjoyed it!
defender- Thank you for reading! I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the story (and the Slade bits)! I hope you liked this newest chapter as well!
Alright, expect more soon!
