CHAPTER 8. OH MY STARRY-EYED SURPRISE

Scene_ The rooftop of the Teen Tower, Cyborg and Ivory sits on the edge, dangling their legs.

Time_ December 8th, Sunset

CYBORG: Isn't it beautiful?

IVORY: I'd love to sit up here all day. (Gazes at the sun)

CYBORG: Why would you do that?

IVORY: Because I'm weird.

CYBORG: Weird? I don't think that's weird.

IVORY: Then, what's weird to you?

CYBORG: (Thinks) Beast Boy.

IVORY: (Chuckles) If you think he's weird, you should live with Ebony.

CYBORG: (Shudders) By the way she eats and throws tantrums, I don't think I want to.

IVORY: Hey, look, the stars came out.

CYBORG: Hehe, nice.

IVORY: It's a little cold up here maybe I should go down now…

CYBORG: Let me help you. (Lifts Ivory and swings her over his shoulder)

IVORY: Hey! Who do you think you are? (Pounding fists)

CYBORG: You can't hurt me because I'm the Mean Metal Fighting Machine.

IVORY: You, let me down!

CYBORG: (Continues carrying her down to the living room) What? I can't hear you.

IVORY: NOW!

CYBORG: Your wish is my command. (Drops her on the couch)

IVORY: I ought to grind my knuckles into that metal skull of yours. (Balls fists)

CYBORG: I'd like to see you try.

IVORY: (IVORY pounces onto CYBORG, sits on his shoulder and attempts to grind her knuckles into his head)

CYBORG: HAHAH! (Laughs, and pries IVORY off his shoulders)

IVORY: Aiy! (Clungs onto his head)

CYBORG: You crazy girl.

IVORY: Crazy? I should give you a taste of ultimate Tai Chi Quan.

CYBORG: You study that stuff?

IVORY: Since I was seven. My sister studied Wrestling. And we both did time as Chinese Acrobats.

CYBORG: Impressive. Try it on me.

IVORY: I don't know…

CYBORG: Come on, you can't harm me that much, right?

IVORY: All right. (Slides off CYBORG) Outside.

(CYBORG and IVORY exit the Teen Tower and ready themselves on a grassy area.)

IVORY: Great, soft grass. Okay, get ready to be awed. (Over takes several steps back, then dashes toward him)

CYBORG: Oh no…

(IVORY dashes toward CYBORG, the next thing you know, CYBORG is thrown against a tree)

CYBORG: Impressive again.

IVORY: (IVORY scrambles to her feet) Aiyah! I'm so sorry, did I hurt you? I didn't mean to fling you at a tree.

CYBORG: Hurt? Yea right! But your fancy footwork is awesome. How long did it take you to learn that?

IVORY: A few weeks to get it right. (Helps CYBORG to his feet)

CYBORG: I wonder how you would do against Robin.

IVORY: A fight people will pay to see, no?
