CHAPTER 6. BACON

Scene_ Teen Tower's kitchen, Ivory frying bacon

Time_ December 7th, Morning

IVORY: Hey Ebony! Will you give me a hand here? Make some juice for me?

EBONY: (Peeks out from under the blankets) I'm still sleeping. Don't talk to me.

IVORY: Fine. No bacon for you.

BEAST BOY: Do I smell... BACON?

IVORY: (Nod) Yep! I got it fried and baked. I like mine baked crispy, less fat. And since I heard you don't eat meat, I bought tofu bacon. All you do is just add water. Watch. (Places a tiny gray piece on a plate adds a drop of water, and then several slices of hot cooked steaming tofu bacon appears before their eyes)

BEAST BOY: Wow! I love tofu bacon.

EBONY: So... Ivory. Where were you yesterday night?

IVORY: (Stops frying)

BEAST BOY: (Gasp) you were caught sneaking out! By your own sister!

IVORY: I was out drag racing, ok? Even ask Cyborg. (Turns around with big starry eyes and a spatula in one hand) We won a new car!

CYBORG: (Enters) But I refused to accept it. I wouldn't like it if my car was lost in a drag race.

EBONY: (rolls eyes) Should have known. Drag racing is like drugs to Ivory.

BEAST BOY: You didn't want a car? You could have given it to the BEAST BOY foundation! In other words, me. (Points to himself)

IVORY: Hah. Hah. Hah. Here, want some more tofu bacon?

BEAST BOY: Sure! (Wolfs down the tofu bacon, spitting out the platter) Ah good stuff. (Pats tummy)

IVORY: I'll take that as a compliment. (Puts some more platters on the table) Dig in.

EBONY: I bet I could gobble down that bowl of rice porridge faster than you!

BEAST BOY: Is that a challenge? Because you're on!

(EBONY and BEAST BOY raise a bowl brimming with rice porridge to their lips.)

EBONY: One…

(EBONY and BEAST BOY tilt their heads back)

BEAST BOY: Two…

(EBONY cheats and begins slurping down the porridge)

BEAST BOY: WHAT THE!

(EBONY finishes, slamming the bowl on the table, letting out a small burp)

EBONY: (pats tummy in triumph) Fastest slurper in the East.

BEAST BOY: But, but, you cheated! You didn't even say three.

EBONY: For your information, I don't play by the rules.

HINT: They're bad guys!

BEAST BOY: I demand a rematch!

EBONY: Ah C'mon. It's just a game.

BEAST BOY: Food was my game! And I never lose!

(STARFIRE, ROBIN, and RAVEN enter)

EBONY: It's just a game. Stop being a buttmunch. (Turns to STARFIRE AND RAVEN) You know what they say, a guy's ego bigger than their brains.

RAVEN: I don't disagree.

STARFIRE: Oh, breakfast is made. It was my turn… but that's ok.

IVORY: It's the least I could do to feel less guilty for staying unexpectedly at your place. Is there a problem?

STARFIRE: Um, YES THERE IS! I mean, no… No problem at all.

IVORY: Good. But if you don't mind, can you squeeze some grapefruit for me?
