Hello again everyone! I simply had a delightful time writing chapter 1, and I shall enjoy writing this chapter even more now that I've put my story up on Fanfiction.Net because I know that people are actually reading my stories. Yeee! *wrinkles nose in excitement*

And for those of you that haven't noticed, I have changed the title of the story from 'Wonderful' to 'Chocolate Roses and Static Electricity'. This is because 'Wonderful' didn't fit quite as well as I originally planned. But knowing me, I'm likely to change it a further 18 times ^.^ If you're confused by now- you should be. The title(s) will fit as the story unfolds. Feel free to share your views on this matter, otherwise known as my indecisiveness.

I would like to ask one question off that subject, though. Seeing as nearly all the Titans have pairings, would it really be kind of awkward if I was to pair up Cyborg with an original character? Because I've encountered various OCs but they are- well- rubbish and unimaginative!

Or alternatively, has anyone seen or watched Static Shock? Now let's take Virgil's sister, for example, and pair her next to Cyborg? Isn't that simply fabulous? From my opinion, she looks 15/16 and then so does Cyborg? No? But he can drive?!! Well, I'd like your views on that if possible, my e-mail address is in my profile if you would like to contact me.

Now on with the story. Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy are all at the cinema watching Ocean's Eleven (my fave ^.^)

Let's see what happens!!

Hey, would I get into trouble if I said the Titans were mine? Oh I would? Okay, they're not ^.^

'Ocean's Eleven is about a group of men plotting a complex strategy to rob the takings of three major casinos.'

Starfire and Beast Boy stared at Raven with their mouths slightly open as her unexpected comment had caught them off guard.

'What...?' Raven asked dully. Then she realized what was going through the other's minds. 'Look, it says here!' she quickly rummaged through the movies brochure, concealing the fact that she was the slightest bit interested (I don't blame her, look at all those gorgeous men- KD).

Beast Boy shrugged and Starfire grinned warmly. 'Let's go, we have five minutes before the film starts. And I would ever so much appreciate it if we could purchase beverages? Because once Robin... Robin bought me the a snack that was the result of corn popping!'

Raven jerked her glance to Starfire when she noticed her voice had dropped minutely to the hint of Robin's name. No one else could have noticed but Raven was very observant- she had complete control over her emotions after all.

'Beast Boy, watch where you're going, you DOOFUS!!!!' a few sweets scattered all over the shiny floor of the theatre complex.

Well, maybe not complete control.

The theatre was a large room with seats gradually mounted towards the top. It was a state of the art interior despite the dilapidated impression of the outside. The screening room had nearly been filled up with eager youngsters and excited adults alike. The three's eyes explored about the room for empty seats but to no avail. They toured up and down the place until Raven finally found two seats side by side.

Starfire- spotting a rare opportunity- rushed from the screening room muttering about forgetting her handbag on the ticket stands. Although she didn't bring a handbag, the other two couldn't tell and was clueless to what she was scheming.

'So, I guess... I'm sitting next to you... huh?' Beast Boy stammered.

'It looks like it, BB...' Raven imperturbably exclaimed.

'Oh yeah... hey- WAIT!!! Dude, did you just call me BB?' Beast Boy choked the words while nearly toppling over on Raven herself.

'... Don't take it to heart.' Raven assured him- slightly panicking- but as pure Raven, managed to compose herself before it got too big for her emotions to handle. '... BB.'

Beast Boy stared wide eyed at Raven and could have sworn that for a split second of a split second he saw her smirk. Is this for real? Raven? Humour? Slightly unbalanced?

Nevertheless, he snatched the seat beside her faster than you could say 'puppy love'.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Starfire had come back from 'finding' her bag. The only downside to her clever plan, though, was that it meant she had no other option than to sit alone. Besides, she didn't feel like picking up some deadbeat because she had no one to sit next to. Progressively, Starfire recovered a seat right at the front. Even if it was strange that three front view seats hadn't been spotted before. Nonetheless, who cared?

Ten minutes into the film, Starfire took a quick glance up to see how things were coming along with the changeling and his undeclared mistress. Raven had, on a rare occasion, voluntarily removed her hood. Beast Boy could be caught peeking sideways every now and again to take in bit by bit his object of affection's wondrous image.

It's working!

Starfire resumed to ogle at the bronzed beauties on the big screen. It was the scene when Matt Damon was first introduced as a pickpocket on the subway. The means of underground transportation had quite gently rocked but in that second of a moment, he had managed to steal some random guy's wallet from his chest pocket. Now that was a true master of the art.

Another ten minutes later, Starfire found that she'd run out of popcorn. So on a bid to acquire more of the sweet snack, she quietly slid out of the auditorium.

Just as she got in line for the food stands, Starfire immediately recognized a yellow cape before her. Not taking any thought, she tapped the person twice on the back. 'Robin?' she inquired.

The teenage boy spun around and his eyes widened in acknowledgement of his friend. He emitted a warm smile. 'Good evening, Star! I thought you'd be here.' Robin commented.

'Did you decide you were bored too? And then decide to come here?' Starfire asked, feeling a little disappointed that she couldn't have been included in his plans.

'Yeah, pretty much. What're you seeing? And where's Raven and BB?' Robin asked in pursuit. 'They're here too, right?'

'Yes they are! And... together!' Starfire beamed. Automatically, Robin read her thoughts.

'How did you ever get those two to sit next to each other?'

'My powers of positive manipulation!' Starfire laughed. 'Oh, and to answer your question, I am watching Ocean's Eleven. There is quite a good choice of eligible young bachelors in the movie itself.' (*licks lips*- KD)

Robin's cheeks flushed at the thought of Starfire being a man-hunter. And then he totally outdid himself when he wished to be one of those fortunate men to the steamy seductress.

'Robin, it is your turn!' Starfire informed him, motioning towards the guy behind the counter and snapping him from his 'healthy' thoughts.

'Oh! Um... three large popcorns and orange sodas, please.' Robin said, feeling a need to be rushed. Starfire helped him with the snacks once they were served. She also ordered herself a popcorn to take back to devour before the equally delicious young men on screen.

'Three of each? So some others are here, I take it?' Starfire asked quizzingly, not knowing whether they were all for Robin or not- considering it wouldn't be a surprise if they were.

'Yeah, Cy's here. He's already in the theatre, though.'

'Oh, I see. Well, Robin. I guess I shall meet you again once the films are over?'

'Yeah, sure, Star. Hey wait!! Here's your popcorn, I forgot to tell you not to get any.' Robin interrupted, handing her the gigantic bag of popcorn.

'Oh... thank you, Robin.' Starfire politely accepted, without hesitation. They both went their separate ways to their designated flicks.

Once Starfire seated herself back in the auditorium, she decided to take another quick glance at her two friends above. This time she saw that Beast Boy had fallen half asleep with a pool of drool forming on his lower lip, to be readily dispatched onto the unfortunate carpeting beneath. And things had taken a one-eighty turn from the last time. Raven was now actually the one who slyly sneaked shy glances at our much-loved green teen. She was then caught giving off the slightest smile in Beast Boy's direction.

Starfire chuckled as she shook her head in awe. Then she leaned against the front rails and recommenced to watch the blockbuster, still bearing in mind that anything was possible the moment Raven smiled.

A few minutes later, just as testosterone was starting to leak out of the film, and George Clooney smooth-talking his ex-wife, Starfire sensed a familiar presence in the screening room. Indeed, she was correct. Down the steps, wandered a vague looking Robin, arms swaying about. He seemed to be searching for something and Starfire presumed it was she. Again she was correct. Robin descended the steps to the front row to which Starfire sat up straight in curiousity of his actions. Starfire, though, then noticed he looked very somber.

'The Titans are needed.' he stated swiftly and surely. 'Let's go.'

Unbeknownst to Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven had already exited a few moments before- when Raven had first spotted Robin she immediately woke Beast Boy up. Starfire didn't notice this however because of the distraction that was Robin himself. Robin grabbed her hand as if on cue and pulled her a little faster out of the room and then out of the theatre complex. Only when they were all mounting Cyborg's car did Robin realize he still had Starfire's hand clasped in his own.

'Oh... uh, I didn't realize, my mind was elsewhere... Sorry, Star...' Robin gasped in disbelief that he hadn't realized his friendly mistake sooner.

'Don't be sorry, Robin. It is fine. Now what did you say was wrong?'

But Robin didn't answer as he was cut off by the sound of his Titans radio's ring. (Hey, has anyone seen the episode when it did actually ring? I thought it was fab because the ring was the theme song! #When there's trouble you know who to call...#- KD)

'Yes?'

'He's heading down Central 34th.'

'We're on it.' Robin nodded into the receiver, unaware and unfazed by the fact that the other person couldn't know whether he nodded or not.

Central 34th was two short blocks down from the Titan's current location. Cyborg speeded up the car nonetheless and sped off in the pursuit of wrongdoing. Finally arriving at the scene, the Titans couldn't exit Cyborg's car any faster. Suspended 30 feet above, was a mad sorcerer of some sort. He peculiarly was clad in pink, which was the most oddest thing the Titans had seen since the situation with Mad Mod- with the exception of Beast Boy, of course. He didn't count otherwise it'd be unfair to the rest of the oddities. A pink long-sleeved shirt was worn in the style of an office worker- that is- every button buttoned with the occasional button unbuttoned (Hehe- KD). Dark fuchsia leather pants were clad around the villain's skinny legs. He looked like Jon Bon Jovi's dress sense mixed with the evil Jafar's features from Aladdin (LMAO- KD).

Around his fists glowed two energy blasts identical to those of Starfire's, but pink. Instead of firing them, though, he was using them to levitate civilians into the air and then conjuring up mock-cages to store them in- and in addition, stuck those cages to various buildings. After that, it was how they stayed with no wish of opening the cages in fear of falling ten metres onto the hard tarmac below.

'Ohh, look-a who's arrivederci!' the magician announced with an extremely strong Italian accent.

'Titans, we've got ourselves a pizza fiend with eastern looks and... Bon Jovi?!' Cyborg declared in confusion along with utter style- how only Cyborg can do.

'Perfect.' Raven muttered sarcastically.

The Titans got in a fighting stance preparing for battle. Raven started by flying up and releasing the poor souls stuck onto the large pieces of construction. Beast Boy helped her in this by transforming into a massive eagle and shielding her every move from distractions if any. We can't let Raven get hurt now, can we?

Starfire charged herself into fight mode and her eyes like numerous times before glowed a luminous neon green. She creased her brows in anger and flew up towards our Jafar/Bon Jovi/Super Mario and static starbolts formed in her palms. She shot two at a time directed at the sorcerer and it hit him square in the chest. However this was not enough, and in return he hurled a cage in mid-air at her. It hit Starfire ('Starfire!' yelled Robin) and the crate flung itself towards Cyborg's car. Not willing to have his 'baby' damaged, Cyborg captured the birdcage with slight difficulty and settled it- along with the group of teenage girls inside it- free. Starfire was dazed momentarily but soon recomposed herself and took a better aim at the magician. But she missed and he continued to throw metal cages around.

Suddenly, something came charging from around the corner. It was a kid flying on some sort of metal circle. He released a trail of static volts behind him as he flew towards Robin.

'Not another one.' Raven mumbled as she spotted the chocolate coloured kid whizzing around. Robin had been catching plummeting pedestrians issued by a new plot of the sorcerer, seeing as Robin couldn't fly and cages in the air were intercepted by Raven. Robin turned around and swiftly knocked the kid off his metal trashcan lid as he zoomed towards him. The kid quickly regained himself and shook his head off dizziness.

'Nice to meet you, Robin. Batman said you were with the Titans' (Yes!! My sister has seen that episode!!! And when Sunshine10 mentioned it in her fic, I couldn't resist!!!- KD). the kid mentioned casually, despite the fact that he'd been disorientated in just previous seconds.

'HUH?!!' Robin jerked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow. 'ACK!! No time for chitchat!' he screamed as an oncoming cage posed threat. He watched, though, as the kid flew up, and shouted something to Starfire before he shocked the magician unconscious. Coincidentally or not, at that moment all the commotion ceased. The pink glow that had occupied the vicinity before had been put out. Fortunately for the innocent townspeople, but unfortunately for Raven, she was on the last suspended cage when it fell on her and sprained her arm. No one was seriously injured. And it seemed that no one could really have escaped from the cages anyway seeing as they had no door. Cyborg had to render it apart for them to escape.

The fire brigades arrived shortly afterwards to clean up the mess and the Teen Titans lingered waiting to obtain information about the weird criminal. Raven was being attended to by the paramedics accompanied by a distraught Beast Boy.

'Yeah, that's it! I saw him in the bakery store!'

Robin stalked towards the voice and found that it was that strange kid's.

'Hey, Robin. I'm Static, nice to meetcha.' Virgil exclaimed, slapping Robin's shoulder. 'As I was telling these cops, that black magic criminal was Pinkazza. He gains electromagnetic powers through bread dough.' Robin creased his face with an expression of 'what the hell?!' and Static picked it up. 'Don't ask me!' He then flew off upon the completion of his questioning. But before he rushed back to his neighbourhood- under his secret identity Static- Virgil levitated over to Cyborg.

'Hey, Cy, it's me Virgil.'

''Sup, dawg?' (HAHA- KD) greeted Cyborg.

'You got my sister in time there, dude.'

'Yeah, otherwise this baby woulda been done for.'

Ooh, as you can tell, I have made it annoyingly obvious to who likes whom, lol. It's just my bad for making the characters so stupid they don't even realize when someone loves them. But then again, you can never really tell, can you? Jeez, you can never tell anything when it's happening to you!!! Especially me and my clumsy self!

And moreover!! I HOPE you liked the Static Shock crossover?!!! It just seemed such a brill opportunity at the time, I just couldn't pass it up! I was gonna keep Static's identity unrevealed and have you guess... BUT I didn't! HAHA!

And the Super Mario/Jafar/Bon Jovi thing was terrible wasn't it?

Onto the next chapter!
