Starfire had arrived home from her visit to see Blackfire in jail. She
began discussing it with the gang in the living room.
". . . And I walked over to the human prison to visit my sibling, Blackfire. She is doing well. Though she had kept on saying that she will one day tear us apart from limb to limb and repeatedly hit us with a chainsaw . . .Well she sends her love anyhow."
"Starfire. . .," Robin began," no offense but your sister is a crazy-ass bitch."
"Oh. . .Is that a good thing on earth?"
"No, it's not a good thing."
"It means she's wacko," Beast Boy explained, his pointer finger moving in circles infront of his ear and his eyes rolling around, signaling the "coo coo" sign.
"Nevermind Blackfire, Robin what is it you wanted to tell us anyway?" asked Cyborg.
"Oh yeah, almost forgot! I can't tell you until we get to that Pizza Place."
"Well, when are we leaving then?"
Robin checked the clock that hung just above the entrance to the halls. 6:00pm.
"Let's go now. Hey, where's Raven?" said Robin.
"Dunno," Beast Boy shrugged.
"You guys go on ahead, I'll go and get her and catch up ok?"
"Ok! See ya later!"
The gang went off as Robin searched the rooms. The living room: not there. The kitchen: not there. The training room: not there. The rec room: not there. Robin checked all of the team's bedrooms. No sign of her. Raven's room was left. Robin lightly knocked on her door.
"Raven?" he called out.
No response.
"Raven!"
Raven opened the door half way, half her face revealed.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
"Well uh, we're going to the Pizza Place now. I just wanted to tell you."
". . .Alright."
Raven walked out, Robin moving out of her way. She flipped her hood up, her face hidden in a shadow.
"Let's go."
----------------------------------------
They finally reached the city. The roads flooding with a sea of people. Cars sounding off horns. The sounds deafening the teens. To get her mind off the racket, Raven asked Robin a question, talking in a louder voice.
"So what is this announcement about? New training times? Battle programs?"
"Uh, nothing like that, no. It's actually quite an announcement I'm sure everyone will enjoy," said Robin, with a light nod.
Raven shrugged. They had just arrived at the Pizza Place. Robin opened the door to the restaurant and gestured his hand forward.
"Ladies first," Robin said with a grin.
"Thanks," said Raven plainly.
She floated down to the floor and walked ahead. Robin closed the door behind him and followed Raven. They had joined the group at a nearby table.
"You have arrived!," chanted Starfire.
"Finally, now we can order some grub here," said Cyborg.
"Ok, everyone decided on what they want?" asked Robin.
"I don't care what pizza we order," said Raven.
"Make it pepperoni!" said Cyborg.
"Dude! You know I'm a vegetarian! I don't eat meat!" yelled Beast Boy.
"Aw c'mon, what's a lil' meat gonna do?"
"I'm not having meat and that's final!"
"Let us all order a chocolate covered pizza?" suggested Starfire.
"Ma-aybe not," said Beast Boy, with a disgusted look.
"Could we please just order something?" asked Raven impatiently.
"Ok how about this," said Robin, " let's just order one pie, half cheese and half pepperoni. Ok? We agree?"
"Alright," the group agreed.
"'xcuse me, waiter?"
A teenage boy with blonde hair combed back arrived at their table in a red and white uniform with a notepad and pen.
"What'll you have, dudes?" he asked.
"We'll have one pizza pie, half cheese and pepperoni."
"Right on, man. Pizza'll be ready in a few minutes."
He left and headed over to the counter. A few minutes later the waiter arrived with the pizza on a black plate.
"Eat on, dudes. That'll be 10 bucks, man."
"I got it this time, guys," said Cyborg as he payed the waiter.
"Later, man."
In seconds they dug in, tearing the pizza apart. Pepperoni flying in one direction, cheese fell to the floor. Everyone in the restaurant just stared.
"They eat like animals," one woman whispered to her friend at another table.
Robin finished his 4th pizza and decided that he should give the announcement.
"Guys, I have an announcement to make."
The gang kept on eating and stuffing their faces with pizza.
"Guys!"
Everyone freezed, looking at Robin.
"Thank you. Anyway, I have an announcement."
"Let me guess, the usual 'we need more training', right?" asked Beast Boy in a bored tone.
"Nope, not at all," corrected Robin," The announcement has nothing to do with battle or training. I've been thinking, since we haven't been having much fun lately I thought we'd all go out tomorrow night at this new dance club called the Sundance Club. They have parties there every night."
"Wow!"
"Now that's what I call an announcement!"
"That is wonderful!. . .What is a party?" asked Starfire.
"A party is when people have this event with loud music and move their bodies around like they have insects in their pants," explained Raven.
"Plus junk food and drinks!" said Beast Boy.
"I would enjoy that!" said Starfire.
"I'll have to get a new tie," said Cyborg.
"I seriously need a hair trim," said Beast Boy, ruffling his hair with his hand.
"I shall need new accessories," said Starfire.
Everyone said what they'd have to do before the party, about how fun it'll be. All except Raven, who didn't seem too pleased at all.
"What's wrong Raven, you don't look too happy," said Robin.
"Nothing, it's just that I think parties are pointless," she said, crossing her arms.
"Parties aren't pointless, they're fun."
Raven shrugged it off.
"Oh c'mon, don't be such a wet blanket."
"I am not a wet blanket."
"Then come with us to the party."
Raven looked towards the window, thinking over what she should do. She cleared her throat and said,
"Fine, I'll go, if it'll make you happy."
"Good," Robin smiled.
"I won't enjoy it though," warned Raven.
"You will like it, trust me."
'I doubt it,' she thought. It was getting late, so the gang rose from the table and started heading home.
". . . And I walked over to the human prison to visit my sibling, Blackfire. She is doing well. Though she had kept on saying that she will one day tear us apart from limb to limb and repeatedly hit us with a chainsaw . . .Well she sends her love anyhow."
