Part 10: time for Goodbye
Yep! It's the last Chapter! Well, besides the epilogue, but that doesn't count. I'm gonna hug myself! Thankies for the reviews to complete this! I was almost gonna let this story go, because of "Do the Math" but you convinced me to finish! Has Stephen Browne read this yet? I sure hope not! Anyways...
(This is it! Day six has arrived. This is a time to say goodbye, 'cuz on day seven, they're out! And, look who's cooking breakfast!)
Ani: Breakfast is ready!
Beast Boy: YOU know, you shouldn't have. You're your guest. Let someone else do the cooking!
Cyborg: You mean like YOU? Don't make me laugh!
Ani: Besides. I'm finished! It's too late to do anything about it!
Robin: So, what are we having?
Ani: Vegetarian! Do you think I would make a meat-lover meal?
Cyborg: Grrr! Tofu again? You're just like Beast Boy!
Tin: Oh, believe me! Her cooking is so good, I'm a tofu eater now!
(everyone sits down at the table)
Rick: Where's Nightingale?
Nightingale: (walks in crying and holding a picture frame up to her chest) Supernova. *sob* Su...per...Novaaaaaaaaaa!
Raven: Does that answer your question?
Starfire: I am SO sorry! I guess I was just angry. It's hard to control my emotions. esspecially if...
Robin: don't remind me.
Ani: Come on, Night! Supernova will come back to visit! I just know he will! (sets food on table) Well, take a seat and dig in!
Cyborg: (carefully puts some on his plate) I'm not sure!
Tin: Come on! (shoves some in his mouth none too gently)
Cyborg: HMMMP! *gulp* Hey! This isn't that bad!
Ani: I'm a professional!
Beast Boy: (mouth full) Mmph! mmmmm!
Ani: Glad you like it!
Nightingale: You have certainly not lost your touch!
Robin: It sounds like you're over... MPH!
Tin: (shoves food into his mouth and whispers in his ear) Don't remind her!
Robin: *gulp* Sorry!
Starfire: where did you get such skill?
Ani: Practice! (pours chocolate milk in everyone's glasses)
Cyborg: This is the best tofu I've ever tasted! (gulps down milk) This is the best milk!
Beast Boy: It's soymilk, Cyborg!
Cyborg: Wow! That stuff actually tastes good? I gotta eat like this more often!
Tin: Told ya!
Ani: (finishes breakfast) Well, I gotta go upstairs to pack! (leaves the table)
Rick: Go ahead! I'm doing dishes!
Raven: You guys are sure being helpful!
Nightingale: Please! We won't spend much more time here! Might as well make the hosts happy!
Robin: That's what I wanna hear!
Beast Boy: (finishes breakfast) I'll go see if Ani needs help! (leaves table)
Starfire: We are acting so much nicer towards eachother! We should do this more often! (claps hands)
Cyborg: I just wish Ani had made more!
Tin: I think You're a pig.
Starfire: That's not the first time he was called that!
(Now, let's go to the hallway, where Beast Boy is going to go check on Ani)
Beast Boy: (humming) What a beautiful day! I'm going over to my room, where a beautiful memory lies, and a beautiful gi... Why am I talking to myself?
(Beast Boy walks up to his room, and is about to open the door when...)
Ani:
If I could grant
You one wish
I'd wish you could see the way you kiss
Ooh, I love watching you
Baby
When you're driving me crazy
Beast Boy: What the... (opens the door, where Ani is packing her stuff, eyes half closed, and daydreaming about you-know-who)
Ani:Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love me. Woooooh! The way you love me.
Beast Boy: *hearts in eyes* Wow!
Ani: (hugging a green t-shirt) It's not right
It's not fair
What you're missing over there
Someday I'll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am to know you
Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
The way you love me. Woooooh! The way you love me.
Beast Boy: She has such a pretty voice! (walks into room, while Ani doesn't notice a thing)
Ani: You're the million reasons why
There's love reflecting in my eyes
Beast Boy: I'm going in!
Ani: Ooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ooh, to feel the way I feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see the way you love me
Beast Boy: Love me
Ani: (surprised, then smiles and keeps singing) Woooooh! The way you love me
Ooh! The way you love me
Beast Boy: Ooh, I love the way you love me
Ani: The way you love me! (back to speaking)
*laughs* ha ha! You just couldn't resist, could you?
Beast Boy: How couldn't I? (hugs her)
Ani: Very funny! So, wanna help me pack?
Beast Boy: (joking) How can I? I can't let go!
(both fall into fits of laughter)
Ani: You joker!
Beast Boy: You think?
(meanwhile, playing video games...)
Tin: Boo-ya! Back in the lead!
Cyborg: That's my line, and my high score!
Tin: Accept defeat, Bro!
Cyborg: (falls on the floor, control still in hand) Uhhhh! How'd you learn to play so well?
Tin: (leans down and speaks in a mocking tone) I learned from the best, but the best can't learn from me! *laughs hysterically*
(skip to lunch time! Pizza! (titan's treat) Well...)
Ani: Beast Boy and I had a fun time packing.
Beast Boy: Probably the best time I'll have in years!
Cyborg: Oooooohhhh! If Tin hadn't been playing video games, I would have seen that.
Tin: We weren't playing. I was pommeling you.
Robin: Very nice, guys. Starfire and I were trying to fill the pool, but first, we had to take the time to fill in a huge fin mark on the bottom.
Ani: *blush* Oops!
Raven: I don't want you to remind me.
Nightingale: I straightened your rod, Rob.
Robin: *big eyes* HOW?
Starfire: (waves hand in the air) I helped!
Robin: (pause) Oh.
Nightingale: Well, I was getting bored! And Supernova wasn't there to help, so I taught Starfire!
Rick: Wow! You're over him already?
Nightingale: Yeah. Tamaran needs him. He said so himself, didn't he?
Ani: Oh, yeah!
Tin: With him, it was always "Blackfire this, Tamaran that! Blackfire this, Tamaran that!" Oh god, I'm glad he won't be saying that stuff anymore.
Nightingale: I kinda got tired of it, too.
Robin: We're glad you're okay now.
Beast Boy: Pizza's here!
Ani: Yay! Wait. Aren't you a vegetarian?
Beast Boy: Yeah. I know. It's just that I can't resist. Pizza's the only thing I'm not strict about. (takes a big bite and licks lips) MMMMM!
Ani: Sure. I'll be over by the frozen tofu stand.
Beast Boy: F-fr-oz-z-zen T-t-o-f-f-f-u-u-? Wait Up! See ya guys! (runs over to where Ani is standing)
Cyborg: Well, there's one less pizza-eater.
Tin: You know what that means!
Cyborg: Yeah!
Tin and Cyborg: MORE FOR US! (dig in)
Rick: (looks away) What pigs! (hears crash) What the... RAVEN!
Raven: (holding a broken plate) Sorry! That kind of behavior makes me angry!
Rick: With me around? Get real!
Raven: It has been nice to have you around. Too bad We're not going to be together for a while.
Tin: (mouth full) Hey! We're shtill gonna vishit! Now eat!
Raven: It's amazing that stuff can't gag you.
Robin: O-kay! Movin' right along! Wan't dessert, Star?
Starfire: *giggle* okay! What is dessert?
Raven: Dessert is excessively sweet and fatty. It can grow on your hips like that! *snaps finger*
Robin: There's nothing wrong with Starfire's hips, and there won't be for a while!
Rick: *smirk* Just exactly how do you know so much about Starfire's hips?
Cyborg: (pauses eating) Start talkin', Birdboy!
Robin: *blush* I... UH...
Starfire: *giggle* I'm not surprised that he knows. (everyone else sweatdrops and falls over backward)
Ani and Beast Boy: What the...
Nightingale: (recovers) That was the sickest thing I'll ever hear in my lifetime, save the explanation of self-mutilation.
Ani: EWWWWW! Don't remind me!
Starfire: Will candy do as dessert?
Robin: Okay!
(Let's skip the boring stuff. They're back at the tower, except for Nightingale, who had to leave early for some singing competition. Ani and Tin have completed packing, now let's get over to Rick)
Raven: (helping him pack) Did you disable the hidden camera?
Rick: Yes. How could I forget?
Raven: Oh. Well, what's this doing here? (pulls out a black and red tux) I've never seen you wear this.
Rick: (takes it from her and puts it in his bag very carefully) I thought we were going somewhere fancy.
Raven: With those guys? You'll bang your head against a brick wall and still know that those guys prefer other stuff.
Rick: I meant you and me. We've got a lot of catching up to do. We didn't even have a decent talk about what's been going on.
Raven: Sorry. I can't put much feeling into my conversation.
Rick: That's where I come in. You remember my power, don't you?
Raven: I guess it just slipped my mind.
Rick: (puts the last article of clothing in his suitcase and zips it closed) Would you like to talk openly, now?
Raven: (closes eyes and raises head) I'm ready.
Rick: (puts a hand on her forehead) Good. (a light flashes, and Raven is floating, somewhere between life and death. Rick's hand starts glowing, then the light seems to scan Raven from head to toe, then back again)
Finish! (lets go of Raven's forehead, and sets her down)
Raven: Uhhh. I think it worked.
Rick: Let's try it out!
Raven: (looks angrily at one of her pillows) Nothing happened! It worked! Now, I can express my feelings without destroying anything!
Rick: Have I ever gone wrong?
Raven: Never! Well, what's been going on in your life?
Rick: Nothing much. I touched down to Earth with Supernova, who found me floating around in the middle of nowhere, somewhere between life and death.
Raven: Really? What happened?
Rick: No reason. I was just playing, and since you left, there was nobody to talk to. You were my only friend. I really wish you still are.
Raven: I haven't changed that much.
Rick: I thought not. Anyways, We met Tin and Ani at this arcade. You could see their eyes flashing and swerving crazily. We sort of became a team, but none of us really knew how to be a leader. That's when we met Nightingale.
Raven: Where did you find her? *snicker* At a costume shop?
Rick: actually, yes!
Raven: *sweatdrop* OH!
Rick: She was being tracked down, so we found her in the masks section. She immediately fit in when we helped her kill the guys who were looking for her.
Raven: Why was she being tracked down?
Rick: Those guys were just the typical robbers, and Night comes from a rich family, all deceased.
Raven: Wow. Keep talking.
Rick: We were gonna name our group the Teen Titans, but, we did a search on the web, and that name was already taken.
Raven: Obviously!
Rick: Yup! so, We're now the TT2. We don't have a T tower like you guys, but we found a place hidden in an alley. It must have been just a cover-up, because the inside of the club looked like a gem! Must've belonged to and undercover agent before. Now, it's a mess! An and Tin really know how to mess up a place.
Raven: *giggle* Just like Beast Boy and Cyborg!
Rick: Yeah. I don't need to know what you've been going through. I've read it in your eyes.
Raven: You can read people's lives through their eyes?
Rick: Lives, yes. Feelings, no.
Raven: How do you read feelings?
Rick: I can't. But, my feelings about you have certainly changed.
Raven: *shrinks back* Do you mean..
Rick: No. They've changed in a good way. Once I saw you, I saw how much you've changed. I like those changes. You're not a little girl anymore! I'm not a little boy anymore. I just want you to know, I think more of you than before!
Raven: *pulls in* I can see that in your eyes.
Rick: Just as well as I see it in your eyes.
Raven: *closer...* only one way to know for sure.
Rick: *stays put* We both know of my feelings, I just need to know yours.
Raven: *slowly pulls him closer by the chin* Don't you know already?
Rick: I know. Do you know? *raises eyebrow*
Raven: I sure hope so. I want to take this to a new level.
Rick: Why are you asking me?
Raven: I want you prepared. (places hand behind his head and pulls him in)
(suddenly...)
Tin: (barges in) RAVEN!!!!!!
Raven and Rick: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (fall over)
Tin: OOOPS! I didn't mean to disturb you guys! (grins stupidly)
Rick: (angry) You better have an explanation!
Tin: Okay, okay! It's just that Beast Boy and Ani...
Raven: It's not that important, is it? Grrrr! (eyes glow red and starts to grow)
Tin: They did... um... something with your book!
Raven: (snaps out) WHAT? OH! That is serious!
Rick: Aren't you forgetting something? (holds out hand)
Raven: I can do without it for a while. (runs out) Tin, don't go into my room without knocking, okay?
Tin: Fine! (walks in) Did I really mess things up for you two?
Rick: (arms crossed) No! You think?
Tin: (sits down beside Rick) you guys will have plenty of time tomorrow. We're leaving in the afternoon. Now, get dressed!
Rick: What? Why?
Tin: We're going somewhere formal for dinner! Star got reservations using her... (dramatic pose) ...charm!
Rick: ha ha! OKAY! (unzips suitcase and pulls out tux) Well, what are you waiting for?
Tin: Oh, yeah! I'm getting dressed, too! (runs out of the room, leaving Rick to change)
Rick: well, well! i guess I needed this after all!
(We're at the Dinner place! Raven got her powers back, and Starfire got the ten of them in just by smiling at the waiter)
Ani: This is beautiful! Love the long couch! (A circular sofa surrounds a long table, and everyone's in their best clothing)
Beast Boy: At least I don't have to wear a tie.
Cyborg: I found out that tuxedos came in my size!
Tin: I'm just lucky my metallic parts don't interfere with my shape! *poses*
Robin: Oh brother!
Starfire: Well, let's eat! Uh... What do we eat?
Raven: I have already ordered!
Waiter: Dinner is served! (plates covered with domes are placed in front of the ten teens)
Rick: (removes dome) Ummm... Why do I have pork? Or in other words, a DEAD PIG?
Raven: It doesn't hurt to have that once in a while! I got the same!
Beast Boy: Whoa! Who are you and what have you done with Raven?
Raven: *giggle* I'm surprised you ask!
Cyborg: *wide eyes* Did you let your happy side out?
Raven: No. But, somebody did!
Rick: I have powers beyond belief.
Tin: You got that right.
Raven: *shocked* What?
Tin: Oh, it's just a trick of his. One time when Ani wouldn't shut up, he just kissed her, and she immediately became a good girl. Good thing he didn't touch me.
Ani: *makes face* Don't remind me! EEEEEWWWW
Rick: Don't be too sure, trouble-maker. *mischievous smile*
Tin: *horror* You wouldn't dare!
Rick: don't be too sure of that either! *cackle*
Tin: *scream*
(everyone else in the restaurant stops what they're doing and stares)
Rick: *chasing Tin around the table* I'm gonna get you!
Tin: You and what army? *sticks out tongue*
Robin: Geez! Guys stop! You're gonna get us kicked out!
Starfire: Oh my...
Cyborg: Okay. That's just wrong!
Tin: Not as wrong as you sleeping with my Barbie dolls at night!
Cyborg: Hey! You should be ashamed of even having those! *throws steak at Tin*
Rick: *hits* Ow!
Cyborg: Oops!
Ani: (smirks at BB) Shall we?
Beast Boy: Oh, yes, let's!
Both: (holding food) FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(suddenly, everyone isv throwing food at eachother, the waiters are ducking under tables, and some women can be heard screaming)
Raven: *bursts out laughing* HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!
(Suddenly, all the lights go out and plates shatter. Everyone is screaming, and Raven is nowhere to be found. The owner of the restaurant stomps up to Robin)
Robin: *nervous laugh* Eh he heh... so... you take credit card?
Owner: GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!! Out of my restaurant!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!
Ani: Ummm...
(A car pulls up into the restaurant)
Nightingale: Hop in, guys!
Robin: Nightingale!
Ani: Woah! Girl, we had a blast!
Night: We gotta blast, or the owner will blast you! Let's go!
(WHEW!!! Man, that was crazy! Well, let's get back to the titans tower!)
Cyborg: so let me get this straight. You saw this on live television?
Nightingale: News travels fast, doesn't it? Especially when the town's greatest heroes are food-fighting in the most highly recommended restaurant!
Tin and rick: Sorry.
Nightingale: Well, I gotta get going.
Cyborg: You sure? It's been a long hard night!
Tin: Yeah... and you can bunk with us, you know... bad memories about the other room.
Nightingale: Really? I hope that doesn't trouble you.
Robin: Not at all.
Cyborg: Any friend of my sister's is a friend of mine!
(meanwhile)
Ani: (steps out of bathroom in a bathrobe and towel turban thing) *yawn* What a day! I really need to get some sleep! I really gotta sleep in human form!
Raven: You were human to begin with, no?
Ani: EEK! (turns into lizard, sticking to ceiling) RAVEN! Where were you, and how did you get here?
Raven: I don't really know. I had a hyper attack.
Ani: (turns back to human) No duh! Rick definitely gave you the kiss of life... or the kiss of weirdness.
Raven: He didn't.
Ani: WHAT????
Raven: I just needed a break from all this control.
Ani: I hear ya.
Raven: Well, I had better get to my room. I need some sleep after that rush!
Ani: See ya! (goes to BB's room, and changes to green pj's) Sleepy time! (goes to BB's bed) I hope he doesn't mind me sleeping on his bed.
(Soon, she's asleep, and let's just hear about her problem. She has a problem with sleeping in human form. If she falls asleep in human form, she unconsciously morphs into random animals in her sleep. She's not aware of this, though)
Beast Boy: (walks into room, oblivious to the tiny purple insect asleep on his pillow) *yawn!* Time to get some shut-eye! (slips into bed, and immediately falls asleep)
(in a few hours...)
Ani: (turns back to human, and opens eyes subconsciously) Mmm... (Sees green hair, and thinks she's in her own room) *hugs BB* Green... pillow...
Beast Boy: *sleepily mumbles*
Ani: (hugs tighter) Green pillow...
Beast Boy: (snaps awake, and sees Ani) *smiles* Hey, Ani.. WHA... (frozen stiff)
Ani: (starts rolling around, bringing BB with her) Mmmm... Green pillow... I miss you...
Beast Boy: *blush* Uhhh... Ani? What ARE you doing?
Ani: (tone changes) Oh Beast Boy... this has been the BEST week ever! *snore*
Beast Boy: (sweatdrop) Okay... Well, goodnight! (falls asleep)
******** Wow! That was a Teensie weensie bit strange, but hey! That's what makes it coolio!
Yep! It's the last Chapter! Well, besides the epilogue, but that doesn't count. I'm gonna hug myself! Thankies for the reviews to complete this! I was almost gonna let this story go, because of "Do the Math" but you convinced me to finish! Has Stephen Browne read this yet? I sure hope not! Anyways...
(This is it! Day six has arrived. This is a time to say goodbye, 'cuz on day seven, they're out! And, look who's cooking breakfast!)
Ani: Breakfast is ready!

Starfire: We are acting so much nicer towards eachother! We should do this more often! (claps hands)

Starfire: That's not the first time he was called that!

(both fall into fits of laughter)
Ani: You joker!

Starfire: (waves hand in the air) I helped!

Ani: Sure. I'll be over by the frozen tofu stand.
Beast Boy: F-fr-oz-z-zen T-t-o-f-f-f-u-u-? Wait Up! See ya guys! (runs over to where Ani is standing)
Cyborg: Well, there's one less pizza-eater.
Tin: You know what that means!
Cyborg: Yeah!
Tin and Cyborg: MORE FOR US! (dig in)
Rick: (looks away) What pigs! (hears crash) What the... RAVEN!
Raven: (holding a broken plate) Sorry! That kind of behavior makes me angry!

Rick: (takes it from her and puts it in his bag very carefully) I thought we were going somewhere fancy.
Raven: With those guys? You'll bang your head against a brick wall and still know that those guys prefer other stuff.
Rick: I meant you and me. We've got a lot of catching up to do. We didn't even have a decent talk about what's been going on.
Raven: Sorry. I can't put much feeling into my conversation.
Rick: That's where I come in. You remember my power, don't you?
Raven: I guess it just slipped my mind.
Rick: (puts the last article of clothing in his suitcase and zips it closed) Would you like to talk openly, now?
Raven: (closes eyes and raises head) I'm ready.
Rick: (puts a hand on her forehead) Good. (a light flashes, and Raven is floating, somewhere between life and death. Rick's hand starts glowing, then the light seems to scan Raven from head to toe, then back again)
Finish! (lets go of Raven's forehead, and sets her down)
Raven: Uhhh. I think it worked.
Rick: Let's try it out!
Raven: (looks angrily at one of her pillows) Nothing happened! It worked! Now, I can express my feelings without destroying anything!
Rick: Have I ever gone wrong?
Raven: Never! Well, what's been going on in your life?
Rick: Nothing much. I touched down to Earth with Supernova, who found me floating around in the middle of nowhere, somewhere between life and death.
Raven: Really? What happened?
Rick: No reason. I was just playing, and since you left, there was nobody to talk to. You were my only friend. I really wish you still are.
Raven: I haven't changed that much.
Rick: I thought not. Anyways, We met Tin and Ani at this arcade. You could see their eyes flashing and swerving crazily. We sort of became a team, but none of us really knew how to be a leader. That's when we met Nightingale.
Raven: Where did you find her? *snicker* At a costume shop?
Rick: actually, yes!
Raven: *sweatdrop* OH!
Rick: She was being tracked down, so we found her in the masks section. She immediately fit in when we helped her kill the guys who were looking for her.
Raven: Why was she being tracked down?
Rick: Those guys were just the typical robbers, and Night comes from a rich family, all deceased.
Raven: Wow. Keep talking.
Rick: We were gonna name our group the Teen Titans, but, we did a search on the web, and that name was already taken.
Raven: Obviously!
Rick: Yup! so, We're now the TT2. We don't have a T tower like you guys, but we found a place hidden in an alley. It must have been just a cover-up, because the inside of the club looked like a gem! Must've belonged to and undercover agent before. Now, it's a mess! An and Tin really know how to mess up a place.
Raven: *giggle* Just like Beast Boy and Cyborg!
Rick: Yeah. I don't need to know what you've been going through. I've read it in your eyes.
Raven: You can read people's lives through their eyes?
Rick: Lives, yes. Feelings, no.
Raven: How do you read feelings?
Rick: I can't. But, my feelings about you have certainly changed.
Raven: *shrinks back* Do you mean..
Rick: No. They've changed in a good way. Once I saw you, I saw how much you've changed. I like those changes. You're not a little girl anymore! I'm not a little boy anymore. I just want you to know, I think more of you than before!
Raven: *pulls in* I can see that in your eyes.
Rick: Just as well as I see it in your eyes.
Raven: *closer...* only one way to know for sure.
Rick: *stays put* We both know of my feelings, I just need to know yours.
Raven: *slowly pulls him closer by the chin* Don't you know already?
Rick: I know. Do you know? *raises eyebrow*
Raven: I sure hope so. I want to take this to a new level.
Rick: Why are you asking me?
Raven: I want you prepared. (places hand behind his head and pulls him in)
(suddenly...)
Tin: (barges in) RAVEN!!!!!!
Raven and Rick: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (fall over)
Tin: OOOPS! I didn't mean to disturb you guys! (grins stupidly)
Rick: (angry) You better have an explanation!
Tin: Okay, okay! It's just that Beast Boy and Ani...
Raven: It's not that important, is it? Grrrr! (eyes glow red and starts to grow)
Tin: They did... um... something with your book!
Raven: (snaps out) WHAT? OH! That is serious!
Rick: Aren't you forgetting something? (holds out hand)
Raven: I can do without it for a while. (runs out) Tin, don't go into my room without knocking, okay?
Tin: Fine! (walks in) Did I really mess things up for you two?
Rick: (arms crossed) No! You think?
Tin: (sits down beside Rick) you guys will have plenty of time tomorrow. We're leaving in the afternoon. Now, get dressed!
Rick: What? Why?
Tin: We're going somewhere formal for dinner! Star got reservations using her... (dramatic pose) ...charm!
Rick: ha ha! OKAY! (unzips suitcase and pulls out tux) Well, what are you waiting for?
Tin: Oh, yeah! I'm getting dressed, too! (runs out of the room, leaving Rick to change)
Rick: well, well! i guess I needed this after all!
(We're at the Dinner place! Raven got her powers back, and Starfire got the ten of them in just by smiling at the waiter)
Ani: This is beautiful! Love the long couch! (A circular sofa surrounds a long table, and everyone's in their best clothing)
Beast Boy: At least I don't have to wear a tie.
Cyborg: I found out that tuxedos came in my size!
Tin: I'm just lucky my metallic parts don't interfere with my shape! *poses*
Robin: Oh brother!
Starfire: Well, let's eat! Uh... What do we eat?
Raven: I have already ordered!
Waiter: Dinner is served! (plates covered with domes are placed in front of the ten teens)
Rick: (removes dome) Ummm... Why do I have pork? Or in other words, a DEAD PIG?
Raven: It doesn't hurt to have that once in a while! I got the same!
Beast Boy: Whoa! Who are you and what have you done with Raven?
Raven: *giggle* I'm surprised you ask!
Cyborg: *wide eyes* Did you let your happy side out?
Raven: No. But, somebody did!
Rick: I have powers beyond belief.
Tin: You got that right.
Raven: *shocked* What?
Tin: Oh, it's just a trick of his. One time when Ani wouldn't shut up, he just kissed her, and she immediately became a good girl. Good thing he didn't touch me.
Ani: *makes face* Don't remind me! EEEEEWWWW
Rick: Don't be too sure, trouble-maker. *mischievous smile*
Tin: *horror* You wouldn't dare!
Rick: don't be too sure of that either! *cackle*
Tin: *scream*
(everyone else in the restaurant stops what they're doing and stares)
Rick: *chasing Tin around the table* I'm gonna get you!
Tin: You and what army? *sticks out tongue*
Robin: Geez! Guys stop! You're gonna get us kicked out!
Starfire: Oh my...
Cyborg: Okay. That's just wrong!
Tin: Not as wrong as you sleeping with my Barbie dolls at night!
Cyborg: Hey! You should be ashamed of even having those! *throws steak at Tin*
Rick: *hits* Ow!
Cyborg: Oops!
Ani: (smirks at BB) Shall we?
Beast Boy: Oh, yes, let's!
Both: (holding food) FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(suddenly, everyone isv throwing food at eachother, the waiters are ducking under tables, and some women can be heard screaming)
Raven: *bursts out laughing* HAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!
(Suddenly, all the lights go out and plates shatter. Everyone is screaming, and Raven is nowhere to be found. The owner of the restaurant stomps up to Robin)
Robin: *nervous laugh* Eh he heh... so... you take credit card?
Owner: GGGGRRRRRR!!!!!!! Out of my restaurant!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!
Ani: Ummm...
(A car pulls up into the restaurant)
Nightingale: Hop in, guys!
Robin: Nightingale!
Ani: Woah! Girl, we had a blast!
Night: We gotta blast, or the owner will blast you! Let's go!
(WHEW!!! Man, that was crazy! Well, let's get back to the titans tower!)
Cyborg: so let me get this straight. You saw this on live television?
Nightingale: News travels fast, doesn't it? Especially when the town's greatest heroes are food-fighting in the most highly recommended restaurant!
Tin and rick: Sorry.
Nightingale: Well, I gotta get going.
Cyborg: You sure? It's been a long hard night!
Tin: Yeah... and you can bunk with us, you know... bad memories about the other room.
Nightingale: Really? I hope that doesn't trouble you.
Robin: Not at all.
Cyborg: Any friend of my sister's is a friend of mine!
(meanwhile)
Ani: (steps out of bathroom in a bathrobe and towel turban thing) *yawn* What a day! I really need to get some sleep! I really gotta sleep in human form!
Raven: You were human to begin with, no?
Ani: EEK! (turns into lizard, sticking to ceiling) RAVEN! Where were you, and how did you get here?
Raven: I don't really know. I had a hyper attack.
Ani: (turns back to human) No duh! Rick definitely gave you the kiss of life... or the kiss of weirdness.
Raven: He didn't.
Ani: WHAT????
Raven: I just needed a break from all this control.
Ani: I hear ya.
Raven: Well, I had better get to my room. I need some sleep after that rush!
Ani: See ya! (goes to BB's room, and changes to green pj's) Sleepy time! (goes to BB's bed) I hope he doesn't mind me sleeping on his bed.
(Soon, she's asleep, and let's just hear about her problem. She has a problem with sleeping in human form. If she falls asleep in human form, she unconsciously morphs into random animals in her sleep. She's not aware of this, though)
Beast Boy: (walks into room, oblivious to the tiny purple insect asleep on his pillow) *yawn!* Time to get some shut-eye! (slips into bed, and immediately falls asleep)
(in a few hours...)
Ani: (turns back to human, and opens eyes subconsciously) Mmm... (Sees green hair, and thinks she's in her own room) *hugs BB* Green... pillow...
Beast Boy: *sleepily mumbles*
Ani: (hugs tighter) Green pillow...
Beast Boy: (snaps awake, and sees Ani) *smiles* Hey, Ani.. WHA... (frozen stiff)
Ani: (starts rolling around, bringing BB with her) Mmmm... Green pillow... I miss you...
Beast Boy: *blush* Uhhh... Ani? What ARE you doing?
Ani: (tone changes) Oh Beast Boy... this has been the BEST week ever! *snore*
Beast Boy: (sweatdrop) Okay... Well, goodnight! (falls asleep)
******** Wow! That was a Teensie weensie bit strange, but hey! That's what makes it coolio!
