~Titan Tower~
"It appears Beast Boy has become narcissistic." Robin replied, thinking deeply.
"Oh no, what has happened to our friend!" Starfire is nearly in tears. "Is he hurt? Will he die?" Short pause. Starfire blinks and returns to a neutral emotion. "Ummmmmm...what's narcissistic?"
"It means he has fallen in love with himself."
"Doesn't that already describe Beast Boy?" Raven added.
"Yeah...but never this bad." Cyborg with a worried look on his face.
"I don't..." before Robin finishes...
"HI GUYS!" Beast Boy emerges from the room.
"Eh, hi Beast Boy." The other Titans say in unison.
Beast Boy looks at the group. "Ummmmmm...did something happen?"
"Uh, well..." Robin notices that Beast Boy is carrying flowers. "Where did you get the flowers Beast Boy?"
"Me." Beast Boy's reply causes everyone else to face fault.
"Okay...now I'm worried." Raven commented.
Starfire rushes to Beast Boy. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Shakes Beast Boy, causing him to be dizzy. "Should I fix a Tamaranian three-eyed Mucklog soup?" (AN: Obviously, I just made it. Gotta get some of Starfire's famous heritage in somehow)
Beast Boy shakes his head. "What has gotten into you guys?"
Robin steps forward, "We're just worried about you, that's all."
Beast Boy looks around. "Worried about what?"
Everyone looked at each other...before Robin spook up. "We're worried...about your, narcissism." Robin lowered an octave before finishing.
"DUDE! I AM NOT A NARCI...narci...WHATEVER! What is it anyways?"
"It means..." Robin paused for a second, "it means...you...really like yourself. A lot."
Beast Boy began contemplating this. "Hmmmm. Maybe I am."
This confused the group even more. "Okay! Knowledge and acceptance is first sign of recovery!" Cyborg stated with a smile.
"We just want to help Beast Boy." Robin gave an assuring smile.
"Guys, I really appreciate your concern. You guys are the greatest friends ever." Everyone beamed at Beast Boy's comments. "However, I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM! Now, if you excuse me, got to work out to keep this sexy body in perfect shape." Beast Boy left the now stunned silent Titans.
"Okay, that went well." Raven started to walk away.
"Well, until we fully understand what is going on, I guess the only thing we can do is make sure he knows that we are here for him...whatever he does." Robin ponders before leaving the room.
"I'll...see what I can do. Maybe a few rounds at Gran Turismo could lead to something." Cyborg walks towards the gym where Beast Boy went.
"And I...Robin?" Starfire looks around and notices he isn't there.
~Hallway connecting the living room~
"Robin?" Raven squeaks out, stopping Robin in his tracks.
"Yes Raven?"
"About earlier..." Raven blushed a little.
"I'd...I'd love to..." Robin replied with a small smile.
At this moment, Starfire quickly entered the room. About to say something, but her mouth fell off after hearing Robin's reply (AN: think Date with Destiny). She then cracked into a million pieces, and crumbled.
Raven smiled and blushed, "Thank you Robin." She then walked to her room.
'This Friday...I never thought Raven...' Robin notices Starfire, "Um...something wrong Starfire?"
Starfire now reformed. "Um. Nothing wrong Robin..." Starfire gave a fake smile. "Nothing wrong at all. Hehe...he."
Robin frowned. He knows something wrong, but he decided to leave matters alone for now. "Well, if that's the case, see you later Star." Robin placed an assuring hand on Starfire's shoulder. Robin's touch caused Starfire's heart to skip a beat. Starfire watched Robin's retreating image before going to her room.
~Starfire's room~
Later that night, Starfire is pacing back and forward.
"This can't be happening! This is worse then that Kitten tried to take MY Robin." Starfire continuing to pace back and forwards. "Its worse because, because..." Starfire lowered an octave. "Raven is trying to take my Robin."
Starfire stopped her pacing, and now with a depressed expression. "And Raven is my firend." After a short pause, "and friends are supposed to help each other. Friends are supposed to help prevent friends from making mistakes. Like taking my Robin!" With renewed vigor, Starfire began plotting for the next few days.
-The next few days were pretty uneventful. Even Beast Boy seems to be back to normal, well, as normal as can be expected. Cyborg was working on his car mostly, with a little Soul Calibur 2 playing with Beast Boy. Raven stayed in her room most of the time, presumably preparing for Friday. Robin was monitoring the city, looking for any sign of trouble that could be connected to Slade. As for Starfire, she was keeping a keen eye on Robin and Raven.
Then Thursday came...
~Raven's Room~
'Tomorrows the day!' Raven looking over her wardrobe, which is mostly her trademark dark cape and bluish black spandexs. 'What should I wear tomorrow?' Taking out a blue dress she bought at Macy's, 'Guess those times I went Mall hopping with Starfire really paid off.'
*Knock**knock**knock*
Raven stopped what she was doing, "who is it?"
"Its me, Starfire, can I come in?"
"Star? Eh..." before Raven could finish her sentence, the door opened.
"RAVEN! I heard about your little date with m...Robin tomorrow, so I come here to help as a friend." Starfire, trying to control her jealousy for the moment, approached Raven.
"Help? Starfire I..." again, Raven is interrupted.
"Yes friend. On Tamaran, it is a special event that could determine the rest of their lives. If the date didn't show their true selves, and they were locked in a loveless marriage, they will live their lives in complete and utter depression. Hehehe." Raven's eyes started to narrow. "So, on a first date...you are supposed to be sufficiently appealing to the other participant! That's why, I'm here with my Tamaranian Beauty Kit!"
"Tamaranian Bue..." Raven again interrupted as Starfire puts on heavy makeup on Raven.
"YES. Now look at the wonderful woman that you have become!" After Starfire finished, Raven looked at herself.
Her hair was all over the place, her face is all white like a clown, there are yellow dots on her cheeks, red dots on her forehead, and her mouth was exaggerated with blue lipstick. Raven's eyes started to twitch. Raven grabs towel and starts whipping her face. After she finishes taking off all of Starfire's erroneous makeup, Raven smoothes her hair out.
"And attire is very important. May I suggest wearing this shirt?" Starfire smiled holding up a shirt that reads 'ROBIN + STARFIRE 4EVER!' "Hehe...he," Starfire giving a nervous giggle at the end.
Raven, now red with anger, breathing really hard, before going back to her normal color to speak, "Starfire...I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"
Starfire is thrown out of the room, followed by her kit. Causing a nice crater on the wall.
"I was just trying to help," Starfire weakly replied.
As Raven was trying to get things back in order after Starfire's intervention, the button on her cape started to blink.
Outside, Starfire's T started to blink. As Starfire got up, she reached for her communicator and opened up. On it was an image of Robin with a determined expression.
"Titans. Trouble. It's Slade."
-------SimmyC: Well, that's another chapter don...
-Beast Boy: AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. You made me into a WIERDO!
-SimmyC:*low voice* Like you weren't before.
-Beast Boy: What did you say?
-SimmyC: Nothing. Again, I only did it for part one.
-Beast Boy: *changing into a tiger* Ahem! Grrrrrrrr.
-SimmyC: *nervously stepping back* I told you, only for part one! There is a reason why I did this. Becomes really important later in the story. Sorta.
-Beast Boy: Like what?
-Simmy C: Well, you will just have to find out. Besides, you will be back to normal in ---Part 2 when Terra comes back, I promise.
-Beast Boy: *Beast Boy now back in his human form* Terra?
-SimmyC: Oh, did I say Terra? Opps. I guess, I should have...
-Beast Boy: *now looking into space, drooling*
-SimmyC: Well, hehehe. Guess I should be going...*runs away*.
-------Well, that was chapter 3 (amazing given that I never thought I could finish 3 chapters in 3 days for what I hope is a halfway decent story!). Granted, the Starfire and Raven thing might have worked better right before Raven's 'date', but I couldn't resist. The reason why I made in on Thursday, I wanted a battle with Slade (well, actually his minions) before the 'date'. So, the next chapter, battle at Wayne Crop! Again, reviews are welcome.
Note: More structural (and a few spelling) problems fixed. Got to proof- read a little more. :-/
