Ridiculously Romantic
"Patience had exceeded me, now its time to unravel the mystery once and for all." His sexy tone of a voice rang the walls of Slade's hide out.
"Master." Was the only response from one of his best ninjas.
"You know what to do? Do I need to further you with any more directions because your brain lacks the importance of intelligence?" Slade said in his usual careless voice.
"No master. You have filled me up with enough information about this plan to not mess up." He bowed. Slade smiled wickedly.
"Good." He drawled. "Now get."
The ninja bowed once more and disappeared from the room.
"Ignorant deficit." He muttered. Running a finger down the side of his mask, Slade shuddered. "Soon Robin, you will be mine."
Three bangs came at the door. One loud creak and then a feminine voice. "Slade."
Slade rolled his eyes at the sound of the girl's voice. "What do you need woman."
"Don't call me that."
"What is it you need?" Completely ignoring the tone in her voice.
"When do I go out and retaliate? I hope it to be soon, cause I don't think I can stand her just being out there with him." The girl said. She was in the shadows near the door, watching Slade with flaming eyes.
"Patience." Was his only response.
"I lack patience." She snarled.
"As I can see. You and Robin seem to have the same disabilities."
"That's why we are meant to be, and not that creature."
Slade chuckled at her comment. "You are but from the same race no? Dear child, I would put away this nonsense you build up and use it on her wisely. Do not create havoc upon you or me. Your temper will get the better of you. Patience."
"I am not a child. I am a woman."
"Body, true. Mind, false."
The girl growled. "I will not tolerate this at the moment."
"Good, neither will I. Go back to your room. I will get you when the time is right. Patience woman, patience."
The snarling woman let out a disgusted cry of frustration and stormed out of the room, causing much noise to erupt in the echoing room. Slade chuckled again. "Wenches."

Cyborg walked in to his home early that morning, probably around 10 o'clock. He walked straight to the couch and slumped on it. "What a night. Note to self." He held up his arm, obvious a little recorder had been installed. "Never fight with Ayrasia. She always ends up being right." He clicked the stop button and rested his eyes.
"Women always have to be right." He muttered. Two seconds later, a loud growl broke the sleeping silence he had. Getting up, he smiled, patting his stomach. "And now I am hungry."
"What to eat, what to eat?" He mumbled, searching through cabinets and the refrigerator. He took out a small box that said, 'Instant Grits'. He pulled a disgusting face and put it back. Grits?
After shutting all the cabinets and pantry doors, he sat back down on the couch, stomach still grumbling. "What do I eat?"
A glint in his eye shimmered as he the telephone and pizza hand out was staring him in the face. "Like a vibe. You, me, one vibe. I like you, you're a keeper." He said to the telephone and pizza brochure. Dialing in the pizza's number, he ordered when some one answered.
"Yes, I would like a the three meat combo please?"
"And what kind of meat sir?" A bored prepish girl voice asked. She was popping her gum and blowing bubbles.
"I would like," He pondered that for a second. What did everyone like? "One will be pepperoni, the other will be sausage and can we make the other side tofu, instead of meat?" Wow, he was actually being nice and getting a tofu side for B.B.
"Sure thing sir," She popped her gum. "It's going to cost you extra."
"Okay, how much."
"$ 2.00's extra." She said cheekily.
"What?" He said outraged. "Two dollars for tofu instead of meat? That's bogus!!"
"Well sir," She drawled. "Do you want it or not."
"Yeah," He didn't like this girl one bit. "Sure, I guess."
"Good. Your total will be twelve dollars and eighty cents. It will be ready in a half an hour. Is it going to be picked up, or are the pizza palace staff going to have to bring it to you sir?"
"No, I will pick it up."
"Good. We don't really want to take it to you anyway. Have a nice day sir." She clicked the phone off and Cyborg looked at it as if the damn thing had but him in the nose.
"Stupid lesbian." He said outraged. "She was a rude one." A smile tugged at his lips, and he recalled. The same girl picked up.
"Hello, Beatrice speaking. Thank you for calling Pizza Palace, home of the best pizza's in all town. How may I take your order?" She said in her same drawling, bored tone.
Cyborg plugged his nose to disguise his voice and answered.
"Hello."
"Order please." She said.
"How do you do?"
"Sir, I do not have time for this. Order please."
"Can I have pigs feet with a side of guacamole sauce?" He said, hiding his snicker.
"Sir, we do not have pigs feet. Order pizza."
"Oh okay. How about your special Beatrice."
"What are you talking about sir?" She snapped at her gum again. "I do not have a special."
"Oh yes you do." He used his regular voice. "Its called Bitch Surprise."
Beatrice gasped in horror. "Sir, that was uncalled for!"
"No, I thought it was perfectly called for. You see, you are a bitch, who doesn't deserve to work with people because you are a lowlife girl who adds a special tang to her surprise."
The girl huffed.
"It's called lesbian." He laughed. Beatrice growled.
"I am not a lesbian!!"
"Are you sure?"
"You are very rude sir, I am going to hang up."
"I'm sorry. Let me make it all better. Lez be friends!" He was about to cry from all the laughter he was making.
"I am not a lesbian!"
"Denial." He said before hanging up on the raging girl. "Haha, that was funny. She is an easy one." Cyborg wiped a tear and realized that he had 10 minutes to get to pizza palace.
"I can't go there, she'll recognize my voice and surely spit on my food!" He said. "Beast boy." Cyborg called.
"Beast boy!"
No answer.
"Where are you? Are you still sleeping you lazy bum?" He entered the green dude's room, but found it to be in isolation. Cyborg scratched his head and wondered. "Where is he."
Searching the other rooms, he asked Starfire and Robin if they had seen Beast boy. "Last time I saw him was last night after Raven and his fight." They told him. Cyborg nodded his head and headed for Raven's room.
"Hopefully she didn't kill him." He said to himself. "Who will get my pizza?"
He knocked on Raven's door and waited. No one came, so he knocked again, this time a bit harder.
"Ray, you in there?"
Slowly, Raven slid the door opened. "Yes?" She said.
"Have you seen B-" He stopped and glanced into her room. There he was, cuddled in a ball on her bed, UNDER HER COVERS, was in the BED with RAVEN. Cyborg stared at her for a moment as if to see if she was guilty.
"You naughty girl." He played. He grinned and started walking away. Raven gave him a confused look and shut the door.
"What was that about?" She said. She stopped when she saw Beast boy on the bed. Raven slapped a hand to her forehead. "Bad timing." Was all she could say.
*************************************************************
"I forgot what it was like to be human." Devion said as he walked around the city. Girls gave him flirtatious winks and boys his age gave him dirty looks. Ignoring the girls and boys looks, he kept on going, searching for that high tower.
"I can't seem to find my way." He said to himself.
"Are you lost?" A petite girl with a pretty face asked. Her friends were in the background giggling and whispering.
Devion glared at the girl. "Get lost wench." She stared at him and dropped her jaw.
"Well!" She huffed and turned on her heel. Her friends gave him evil glances and ran to their embarrassed friend.
"Where is that damn tower." He cursed. "It can't be that hard to find." He walked miles and miles down roads and ally ways, and he never could find that blasted tower.
"Rest here, search later." He told himself as he entered a small abandoned hut. Slowly, he gathered some wood and leaves that were just out the door and threw them into the fire pit that he made, by hand.
"I will never survive as a human." He panted as he rubbed two sticks together. Slowly, but surly he got his fire burning and was rubbing his hands together to get warm.
Keeping hands over the flame, he turned his head towards the back when he heard something creak. Turning back around to his hands when he knew for sure nothing was there; he gasped and pulled back.
There on his hands and fingers were fire sparks and the smell of burning flesh. The thing that really scared him was it never burned. He never felt the sensation of burning flesh; he just caught the glimpse.
"I touch the fire, and I don't feel a thing." He said amazed. "It burns me, but it feels like a warm breeze." He shook the fire off when he saw that the fire was eating away his skin. "That is so cool."
*************************************************************
"I'm hungry." Beast boy whined. The teen titans were sitting on the couch, doing nothing. They all stared at the choices of food places to go timidly.
"It's 9:15 and we are bored out of our minds." Robin said as he lay back on the couch next to Cyborg. "Also, there is nothing but fuzzy food to eat in our home."
"We are, what is the word, pathetic?" Starfire said. She crossed her leg over her other and rolled her eyes. "Isn't there any where good to eat?"
"Well, I had pizza for breakfast." Cyborg mentioned idly. "And I don't feel like having it for dinner. Isn't there a fast food restaurant around here besides Pizza Palace?"
"I don't think so." Raven said. Her eyes drummed silently with boredom. With much difference than hers, Beast boy's eyes were wide with excitement.
"Ya know, there is one place. And I do feel like having a cheeseburger." He cracked his knuckles. "Its called 'Mc. Donald's'. It's a cool place to go, and their food isn't that bad either!"
The rest looked at each other for disagreements, but none came. "All right then, lets head out to Mc. D's." Robin said, marching to the door and grabbing his coat.
"You know, as sad as this may seem, I sort of miss setting right the wrong doers." Starfire sighed as she stepped out the door. "There's nothing to do with out them."
"Your right." Robin pondered her last statement. "That is sad." Closing the door, they took their time walking to Mc. D's. The warm twilight breeze was hitting them softly, whispering drifts of wind flooding their ears and running their adrenaline.
"Are we there yet?"
"No Starfire, you will see a large clown when we get there."
"Oh." A sigh. "Okay."
Pause.
"Are we there yet?"
"NO Starfire!" Beast boy said.
"Well, how long will it be?" She whined.
"Not long, we're here." Robin said, leading them into the room temperature Fast food restaurant.
"This place smells strongly of old people and plastic." Starfire said, scrunching up her nose in disgust.
"Let's just order shall we?" Raven said in her usual toneless voice. Looking at the menu, they all ordered.
"And what will you have miss?" A boy with spots all over his face asked. He was wearing an orange and red hat that said 'Home of Ronald Mc.Donald.' on it.
"I suppose I will have a chocolate milkshake and fries." Raven said carelessly.
"All right, your total comes out to 8.89$." He said. Robin handed him the money and received a little piece of paper. "We will call you when your order is done sir."
"Thank you."
The gang all sat down at a large table in front of the play area and started chatting about teenage things. How was your day? What kind of pizza did you order? Wanna watch a movie when we get back?
"Let's play in the play pit." Starfire's question alarmed them. Their heads snapped sideways to her smiling face.
"Huh?"
"Are you deaf? Do you want to play in the playing region?" She asked once more, getting up and making her way towards the stairs to the slide.
"Um, sure!" Beast boy jumped up and crawled up the slide.
"I think I will sit this out. My body wouldn't fit in it anyway." Cyborg said sheepishly. "Yeah, I think I will sit out too." Raven said, playing with the salt.
"Suit your self. Robin, are you coming dude?"
Robin looked up at Starfire's pleading eyes, and Beast boy's waiting question and nodded. "Yeah, I'll play."
Starfire crawled up the stairs, and Robin right behind her. They crawled, and crawled, and hey, they crawled some more! They finally reached the floating island of balls on the third level and climbed in.
Robin dove in quickly and never popped back up. Starfire was taking her time by slowly putting a leg in and sliding in. She noticed that Robin was nowhere in sight.
"Robin?" She called. But no answer came. "R-robin?" She scanned the ball pit for boy wonder, but nothing of him showed up. "Where are you?" She whispered, not wanting to attract attention of worry towards her other friends.
"Robin, this isn't funny anymore!" She said, digging through balls. She threw herself in and began swimming for him. "Robin! Please do not do th- AHH!" She squealed.
Robin was laughing his butt off as he saw Starfire's face tense with fear and relief. "Do not scare me like that you klorbag!" She played. Robin grinned at her choice of words.
"What do you mean? Little ole' me didn't scare you, did I?" He was standing up near her. She growled playfully and pushed him in the pit of plastic balls.
"Yes, you did!" She laughed, throwing an orange ball his way. Reluctantly he caught it and pulled her in with him. "Eek!"
They both laughed as they lay there together, sinking slowly into the pit. Starfire got up quickly and raced to the stairs. "Whatcha doin?" Robin said curiously.
"I am going to beat you up to the slide! The very top of the slide!" She cried with joy.
"Hey no fair! You got a head start!" He called after her.
"Are you boy wonder, or are you not?" She giggled, ten feet away from him. She crawled and crawled like there was no tomorrow! That slide was long and curvy, and it was taking forever to get up there.
Robin managed to get past her and beat her by an inch. He sat in the little room that had a small round chair able to fit four in it. The slide was to the side of him, and he waited for his best friend to enter the small room.
Getting in position on the slide, he waited for her. "You coming you slow poke?" He yawned. "I've been waiting here forever!"
"Oh you shut up!" She giggled. "You know very well that you cheated." Robin grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
"Not going to deny it." He laughed. She put her hand on her hips and stood on her knees. She finally crawled over to him on the slide and was about a foot away from him.
"Aren't ya going to come with me?" He pouted. "This thing is no fun with out two people riding it!"
Starfire smiled. "Joy!" She was about to climb in when she slipped, causing Robin to slip down. She caught his hand, and he held on to her for dear life. She was on her stomach, holding his hand, a few inches away from his face.
Robin noticed where they were and slowly closed the gap between them.
'What are you doing Robin?' He thought to himself. Starfire was scared, she was afraid he was going to back away, even though it was him who was closing the gap.
'I know I'm not supposed to like anyone, but it's getting harder and harder for me not to.' He argued.
'You told her discretely that you did not like her in that way. You are sending her mixed feelings! She will get confused.'
'Well, hopefully she will be smart enough to realize how I feel after this.'
"Robin." She whispered, breath on his lips. Robin swallowed, barely touching hers.
"Yeah?" He said hoarsely.
"Are you sure you are thinking correctly? Just before you told me that you didn't want this." She said. Half of her was afraid to kiss him, because if it were just a kiss to let off emotion, then hers and his relationship would be ruined. But half of her was in bliss. Just a pucker of the lips, and they would have kissed.
"I know, but," He said. Not sure what to say. Even more slowly, he really started to close the gap. They were so close, oh so close.
"EXCUSE ME!" A voice came at the end of the slide. Starfire gasped and accidentally let go of his hand, causing Robin to slide down, angrier than ever.
When Robin reached the exit, he realized it was the pesky order boy. "Your order is done." He smiled wickedly and walked away slowly, watching as Starfire slid down the slide a second later.
She had a slight blush on her cheeks, as did Robin, but they still ate their dinner with the rest of the group.
Walking along the path to their home, they came across something shining. "What's that?" Beast boy said as he ran to pick it up. He held up a badge that had the letter 'S' on it.
First thought came to mind, "Slade." Robin said, quickening his pace to the titans' home. "Robin wait! Don't rush, it might be a trap!" Starfire called, flying after him.
"What do you think it is?" Beast boy said, running with Raven.
"I'm not sure, but I'm praying that it has nothing to do with Slade." She said, running the same pace as Cyborg.
"He better not have done anything to my car, or I will kill him with my own hands!" He growled, eye glowing dangerously red. They all ran up the stairs to the large living room and stopped dead.
"Robin wait, it might be a tr-" She gasped when she saw the upstairs of the Titan Tower.
They all looked around and found everything trashed. Newspapers were on the ground, so were video games, cans, plates, smashed glass, pillows and even the furniture was turned around.
"Someone was looking for something, and they just happened to ruin everything in sight!" Beast boy said, picking up CinderBlock Bash.
"Whatever it is, they never got it, cause everything is here." Robin said, searching for the only most prized possessions the Tower had.
"Who would want to trash a beautiful home, and never want anything?" Starfire said, picking up papers and plastic cups.
"Who ever it was, was a crazy-" Raven started, but paused when Cyborg motioned for them to come over.
There beside him was a silver 'S' weight, holding down a piece of paper. Robin picked it up and read aloud.
"This letter is Robin's concern,
You know what I want from you and this is your last time to come willingly. But if you decline and you decide to kill me, remember what I had said. If I die, she dies. Either way you put it, it's a win lose situation. Time will tell.
-Slade"
Robin growled and looked at Starfire who's face turned pale. She remembered that he had threatened to kill her if he was to die. For it was she who almost killed him the first time. But he wouldn't die; he wasn't finished with Robin yet.
"I'm going to bed." He snarled, crumbling up the note and smashing it in his utility belt pocket.
"Robin, I-" Starfire said, flying slightly to him.
"Good night Starfire." Robin said harshly. Starfire faltered back and felt Cyborg's soothing hand on her shoulder.
"Let it go Star, just let him go." He whispered. They watched the growling Robin march to his room and shut the door with a loud bang.
Star's face selled out sadness as she hung her head and flew towards her own room. "I'm going to bed too." She said sadly. "Good night everyone."
Cyborg, Raven and Beast boy collapsed on the couch. No one said a word, not one person. Just sighs and tired breaths were heard. Finally someone spoke up after five minutes of silence.
"They are in love." Beast boy said.
"I know." Raven responded.
"Leave them alone for awhile?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah. Movies?" Beast boy said.
"Tomorrow, early. Then we will come home around sixish. That will give them," Raven said.
"Enough time," Beast boy responded.
"To sort out there problems." Cyborg finished.
"Right." They said in unison. Getting up and going their own ways, they yawned. "Night." Again they said in unison.

"Patience had exceeded me, now its time to unravel the mystery once and for all." His sexy tone of a voice rang the walls of Slade's hide out.
"Master." Was the only response from one of his best ninjas.
"You know what to do? Do I need to further you with any more directions because your brain lacks the importance of intelligence?" Slade said in his usual careless voice.
"No master. You have filled me up with enough information about this plan to not mess up." He bowed. Slade smiled wickedly.
"Good." He drawled. "Now get."
The ninja bowed once more and disappeared from the room.
"Ignorant deficit." He muttered. Running a finger down the side of his mask, Slade shuddered. "Soon Robin, you will be mine."
Three bangs came at the door. One loud creak and then a feminine voice. "Slade."
Slade rolled his eyes at the sound of the girl's voice. "What do you need woman."
"Don't call me that."
"What is it you need?" Completely ignoring the tone in her voice.

"Patience." Was his only response.
"I lack patience." She snarled.
"As I can see. You and Robin seem to have the same disabilities."
"That's why we are meant to be, and not that creature."
Slade chuckled at her comment. "You are but from the same race no? Dear child, I would put away this nonsense you build up and use it on her wisely. Do not create havoc upon you or me. Your temper will get the better of you. Patience."
"I am not a child. I am a woman."
"Body, true. Mind, false."
The girl growled. "I will not tolerate this at the moment."
"Good, neither will I. Go back to your room. I will get you when the time is right. Patience woman, patience."
The snarling woman let out a disgusted cry of frustration and stormed out of the room, causing much noise to erupt in the echoing room. Slade chuckled again. "Wenches."

Cyborg walked in to his home early that morning, probably around 10 o'clock. He walked straight to the couch and slumped on it. "What a night. Note to self." He held up his arm, obvious a little recorder had been installed. "Never fight with Ayrasia. She always ends up being right." He clicked the stop button and rested his eyes.
"Women always have to be right." He muttered. Two seconds later, a loud growl broke the sleeping silence he had. Getting up, he smiled, patting his stomach. "And now I am hungry."

After shutting all the cabinets and pantry doors, he sat back down on the couch, stomach still grumbling. "What do I eat?"
A glint in his eye shimmered as he the telephone and pizza hand out was staring him in the face. "Like a vibe. You, me, one vibe. I like you, you're a keeper." He said to the telephone and pizza brochure. Dialing in the pizza's number, he ordered when some one answered.
"Yes, I would like a the three meat combo please?"
"And what kind of meat sir?" A bored prepish girl voice asked. She was popping her gum and blowing bubbles.
"I would like," He pondered that for a second. What did everyone like? "One will be pepperoni, the other will be sausage and can we make the other side tofu, instead of meat?" Wow, he was actually being nice and getting a tofu side for B.B.

"I can't go there, she'll recognize my voice and surely spit on my food!" He said. "Beast boy." Cyborg called.
"Beast boy!"
No answer.
"Where are you? Are you still sleeping you lazy bum?" He entered the green dude's room, but found it to be in isolation. Cyborg scratched his head and wondered. "Where is he."
Searching the other rooms, he asked Starfire and Robin if they had seen Beast boy. "Last time I saw him was last night after Raven and his fight." They told him. Cyborg nodded his head and headed for Raven's room.
"Hopefully she didn't kill him." He said to himself. "Who will get my pizza?"
He knocked on Raven's door and waited. No one came, so he knocked again, this time a bit harder.
"Ray, you in there?"
Slowly, Raven slid the door opened. "Yes?" She said.
"Have you seen B-" He stopped and glanced into her room. There he was, cuddled in a ball on her bed, UNDER HER COVERS, was in the BED with RAVEN. Cyborg stared at her for a moment as if to see if she was guilty.
"You naughty girl." He played. He grinned and started walking away. Raven gave him a confused look and shut the door.
"What was that about?" She said. She stopped when she saw Beast boy on the bed. Raven slapped a hand to her forehead. "Bad timing." Was all she could say.
*************************************************************
"I forgot what it was like to be human." Devion said as he walked around the city. Girls gave him flirtatious winks and boys his age gave him dirty looks. Ignoring the girls and boys looks, he kept on going, searching for that high tower.
"I can't seem to find my way." He said to himself.
"Are you lost?" A petite girl with a pretty face asked. Her friends were in the background giggling and whispering.
Devion glared at the girl. "Get lost wench." She stared at him and dropped her jaw.
"Well!" She huffed and turned on her heel. Her friends gave him evil glances and ran to their embarrassed friend.
"Where is that damn tower." He cursed. "It can't be that hard to find." He walked miles and miles down roads and ally ways, and he never could find that blasted tower.
"Rest here, search later." He told himself as he entered a small abandoned hut. Slowly, he gathered some wood and leaves that were just out the door and threw them into the fire pit that he made, by hand.
"I will never survive as a human." He panted as he rubbed two sticks together. Slowly, but surly he got his fire burning and was rubbing his hands together to get warm.
Keeping hands over the flame, he turned his head towards the back when he heard something creak. Turning back around to his hands when he knew for sure nothing was there; he gasped and pulled back.
There on his hands and fingers were fire sparks and the smell of burning flesh. The thing that really scared him was it never burned. He never felt the sensation of burning flesh; he just caught the glimpse.
"I touch the fire, and I don't feel a thing." He said amazed. "It burns me, but it feels like a warm breeze." He shook the fire off when he saw that the fire was eating away his skin. "That is so cool."
*************************************************************
"I'm hungry." Beast boy whined. The teen titans were sitting on the couch, doing nothing. They all stared at the choices of food places to go timidly.
"It's 9:15 and we are bored out of our minds." Robin said as he lay back on the couch next to Cyborg. "Also, there is nothing but fuzzy food to eat in our home."
"We are, what is the word, pathetic?" Starfire said. She crossed her leg over her other and rolled her eyes. "Isn't there any where good to eat?"
"Well, I had pizza for breakfast." Cyborg mentioned idly. "And I don't feel like having it for dinner. Isn't there a fast food restaurant around here besides Pizza Palace?"
"I don't think so." Raven said. Her eyes drummed silently with boredom. With much difference than hers, Beast boy's eyes were wide with excitement.
"Ya know, there is one place. And I do feel like having a cheeseburger." He cracked his knuckles. "Its called 'Mc. Donald's'. It's a cool place to go, and their food isn't that bad either!"
The rest looked at each other for disagreements, but none came. "All right then, lets head out to Mc. D's." Robin said, marching to the door and grabbing his coat.
"You know, as sad as this may seem, I sort of miss setting right the wrong doers." Starfire sighed as she stepped out the door. "There's nothing to do with out them."
"Your right." Robin pondered her last statement. "That is sad." Closing the door, they took their time walking to Mc. D's. The warm twilight breeze was hitting them softly, whispering drifts of wind flooding their ears and running their adrenaline.
"Are we there yet?"
"No Starfire, you will see a large clown when we get there."
"Oh." A sigh. "Okay."
Pause.
"Are we there yet?"
"NO Starfire!" Beast boy said.
"Well, how long will it be?" She whined.
"Not long, we're here." Robin said, leading them into the room temperature Fast food restaurant.
"This place smells strongly of old people and plastic." Starfire said, scrunching up her nose in disgust.
"Let's just order shall we?" Raven said in her usual toneless voice. Looking at the menu, they all ordered.
"And what will you have miss?" A boy with spots all over his face asked. He was wearing an orange and red hat that said 'Home of Ronald Mc.Donald.' on it.
"I suppose I will have a chocolate milkshake and fries." Raven said carelessly.
"All right, your total comes out to 8.89$." He said. Robin handed him the money and received a little piece of paper. "We will call you when your order is done sir."
"Thank you."
The gang all sat down at a large table in front of the play area and started chatting about teenage things. How was your day? What kind of pizza did you order? Wanna watch a movie when we get back?
"Let's play in the play pit." Starfire's question alarmed them. Their heads snapped sideways to her smiling face.
"Huh?"
"Are you deaf? Do you want to play in the playing region?" She asked once more, getting up and making her way towards the stairs to the slide.
"Um, sure!" Beast boy jumped up and crawled up the slide.
"I think I will sit this out. My body wouldn't fit in it anyway." Cyborg said sheepishly. "Yeah, I think I will sit out too." Raven said, playing with the salt.
"Suit your self. Robin, are you coming dude?"
Robin looked up at Starfire's pleading eyes, and Beast boy's waiting question and nodded. "Yeah, I'll play."
Starfire crawled up the stairs, and Robin right behind her. They crawled, and crawled, and hey, they crawled some more! They finally reached the floating island of balls on the third level and climbed in.
Robin dove in quickly and never popped back up. Starfire was taking her time by slowly putting a leg in and sliding in. She noticed that Robin was nowhere in sight.
"Robin?" She called. But no answer came. "R-robin?" She scanned the ball pit for boy wonder, but nothing of him showed up. "Where are you?" She whispered, not wanting to attract attention of worry towards her other friends.
"Robin, this isn't funny anymore!" She said, digging through balls. She threw herself in and began swimming for him. "Robin! Please do not do th- AHH!" She squealed.
Robin was laughing his butt off as he saw Starfire's face tense with fear and relief. "Do not scare me like that you klorbag!" She played. Robin grinned at her choice of words.
"What do you mean? Little ole' me didn't scare you, did I?" He was standing up near her. She growled playfully and pushed him in the pit of plastic balls.
"Yes, you did!" She laughed, throwing an orange ball his way. Reluctantly he caught it and pulled her in with him. "Eek!"
They both laughed as they lay there together, sinking slowly into the pit. Starfire got up quickly and raced to the stairs. "Whatcha doin?" Robin said curiously.
"I am going to beat you up to the slide! The very top of the slide!" She cried with joy.
"Hey no fair! You got a head start!" He called after her.
"Are you boy wonder, or are you not?" She giggled, ten feet away from him. She crawled and crawled like there was no tomorrow! That slide was long and curvy, and it was taking forever to get up there.
Robin managed to get past her and beat her by an inch. He sat in the little room that had a small round chair able to fit four in it. The slide was to the side of him, and he waited for his best friend to enter the small room.
Getting in position on the slide, he waited for her. "You coming you slow poke?" He yawned. "I've been waiting here forever!"
"Oh you shut up!" She giggled. "You know very well that you cheated." Robin grinned and shrugged his shoulders.
"Not going to deny it." He laughed. She put her hand on her hips and stood on her knees. She finally crawled over to him on the slide and was about a foot away from him.
"Aren't ya going to come with me?" He pouted. "This thing is no fun with out two people riding it!"
Starfire smiled. "Joy!" She was about to climb in when she slipped, causing Robin to slip down. She caught his hand, and he held on to her for dear life. She was on her stomach, holding his hand, a few inches away from his face.
Robin noticed where they were and slowly closed the gap between them.
'What are you doing Robin?' He thought to himself. Starfire was scared, she was afraid he was going to back away, even though it was him who was closing the gap.
'I know I'm not supposed to like anyone, but it's getting harder and harder for me not to.' He argued.
'You told her discretely that you did not like her in that way. You are sending her mixed feelings! She will get confused.'
'Well, hopefully she will be smart enough to realize how I feel after this.'
"Robin." She whispered, breath on his lips. Robin swallowed, barely touching hers.
"Yeah?" He said hoarsely.
"Are you sure you are thinking correctly? Just before you told me that you didn't want this." She said. Half of her was afraid to kiss him, because if it were just a kiss to let off emotion, then hers and his relationship would be ruined. But half of her was in bliss. Just a pucker of the lips, and they would have kissed.
"I know, but," He said. Not sure what to say. Even more slowly, he really started to close the gap. They were so close, oh so close.
"EXCUSE ME!" A voice came at the end of the slide. Starfire gasped and accidentally let go of his hand, causing Robin to slide down, angrier than ever.
When Robin reached the exit, he realized it was the pesky order boy. "Your order is done." He smiled wickedly and walked away slowly, watching as Starfire slid down the slide a second later.
She had a slight blush on her cheeks, as did Robin, but they still ate their dinner with the rest of the group.
Walking along the path to their home, they came across something shining. "What's that?" Beast boy said as he ran to pick it up. He held up a badge that had the letter 'S' on it.
First thought came to mind, "Slade." Robin said, quickening his pace to the titans' home. "Robin wait! Don't rush, it might be a trap!" Starfire called, flying after him.
"What do you think it is?" Beast boy said, running with Raven.
"I'm not sure, but I'm praying that it has nothing to do with Slade." She said, running the same pace as Cyborg.
"He better not have done anything to my car, or I will kill him with my own hands!" He growled, eye glowing dangerously red. They all ran up the stairs to the large living room and stopped dead.
"Robin wait, it might be a tr-" She gasped when she saw the upstairs of the Titan Tower.
They all looked around and found everything trashed. Newspapers were on the ground, so were video games, cans, plates, smashed glass, pillows and even the furniture was turned around.
"Someone was looking for something, and they just happened to ruin everything in sight!" Beast boy said, picking up CinderBlock Bash.
"Whatever it is, they never got it, cause everything is here." Robin said, searching for the only most prized possessions the Tower had.
"Who would want to trash a beautiful home, and never want anything?" Starfire said, picking up papers and plastic cups.
"Who ever it was, was a crazy-" Raven started, but paused when Cyborg motioned for them to come over.
There beside him was a silver 'S' weight, holding down a piece of paper. Robin picked it up and read aloud.
"This letter is Robin's concern,
You know what I want from you and this is your last time to come willingly. But if you decline and you decide to kill me, remember what I had said. If I die, she dies. Either way you put it, it's a win lose situation. Time will tell.
-Slade"
Robin growled and looked at Starfire who's face turned pale. She remembered that he had threatened to kill her if he was to die. For it was she who almost killed him the first time. But he wouldn't die; he wasn't finished with Robin yet.
"I'm going to bed." He snarled, crumbling up the note and smashing it in his utility belt pocket.
"Robin, I-" Starfire said, flying slightly to him.
"Good night Starfire." Robin said harshly. Starfire faltered back and felt Cyborg's soothing hand on her shoulder.
"Let it go Star, just let him go." He whispered. They watched the growling Robin march to his room and shut the door with a loud bang.
Star's face selled out sadness as she hung her head and flew towards her own room. "I'm going to bed too." She said sadly. "Good night everyone."
Cyborg, Raven and Beast boy collapsed on the couch. No one said a word, not one person. Just sighs and tired breaths were heard. Finally someone spoke up after five minutes of silence.
"They are in love." Beast boy said.
"I know." Raven responded.
"Leave them alone for awhile?" Cyborg asked.
"Yeah. Movies?" Beast boy said.
"Tomorrow, early. Then we will come home around sixish. That will give them," Raven said.
"Enough time," Beast boy responded.
"To sort out there problems." Cyborg finished.
"Right." They said in unison. Getting up and going their own ways, they yawned. "Night." Again they said in unison.
