Hey everyone! 29 reviews make me happy! Yes. Ok, um...unfortunately, in this chapter there seems to be quite a few bad puns and the like as well as references to beast boy's bathroom issues again. I must agree, it is getting a little old since I've done it already in the 1st and 2nd chapter so tell you what, this will be the LAST time. The latter would be a resultant of having absolutely no imagination. Anyways, extra long chapter for my wonderful reviewers!
luv*a*lot: Right, I know what you mean about them nasty heart attacks so I will try to update once every week. Yes, I know Terra is quite an interesting twist to my plot. I would like say it was rather an ingenious ploy to hide the fact that I have absolutely no pairing yet. Maybe some will develop while I'm writing. Anyways, you're always welcome to suggest ideas and the like and you'll have to read for yourself to see if Terra's evil or not. Writing fanfiction gives me such a great feeling of power! MUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *ok, will never attempt evil laugh again*
MonkeyHood: A new reviewer! Yay *does happy dance* Ok, I'm sure you didn't want to see that. So with what dignity I have left, I would like to say thanks for reviewing and such. I know, Miss Congeniality wasn't the best movie ever but you gotta admit, it was pretty funny or at least a good idea. Kudos to you for reviewing and read on!
lulugirl715: Very mysterious am I eh? Hee Hee, I was kinda going for that. The suspense peaks more in this chapter since y'all get a tiny peak at the evil villain behind this scheme as well as the person helping them. I can't say much, but let me tell you this: The titans are in for it. DUN DUN DUN *OK, overly dramatic, I know* ^_^; Anyways, glad you like this and you'll have to keep reading and reviewing to help out what happens!
chickenbutt2: Another new reviewer! Yes! I don't per say like to torture Beast Boy and Cyborg but it kinda comes out that way when I'm typing. My fingers seem to have a mind of there own. I don't know if this was a hit with you but the Beast Boy bathroom jokes are ending, so sad. That's ok though, I'm sure I'll find something else to write. MUHAHAHAH...Oh wait, I already said I'd stop doing that. Yes and people who have no imagination rock!
NavynBabyBlueSuedeShoes: Yet another new reviewer? Ha ha! I've struck gold! Thanks for the commemoration on my chapters and I appreciate the bit about capturing personalities since I do try. Yes, I do know what you mean about the punkette ^_^; Also I don't mind so thanks for your wonderful idea so thanks to it I shall be sure to write more. I agree totally agree, Cyborg mostly doesn't get a lot of spotlight in most fics so I will take your advice to heart! Promise! Thanks for the long review and read my new chapter now!
ChocolateCurlz: Yay! You are a new reviewer as well as a wonderful writer yourself! *side note: WHY HAVEN"T YOU UPDATED YOUR STORIES??? TSK TSK TSK!!!* Having me read people's stories in a way, is its own trial. Unfortunately, I have literally no patience and will die if left in suspense for too long. So update! THIS MEANS YOU! Yowza is a great word and thanks for thinking me a good writer. A lunch box? Really? I had no idea. ^_^ Read and Review now, ok?
The Sage of Story: You are a new reviewer! HIP HIP HOORAY! I'm glad you liked the parts with Starfire, she's such a cool character! Hm...judging by your review I'd say, you're not a particularly big fan of Terra? Yes yes, only time will tell and only reviews will satisfy my growing ego and make me happy! Also, the evil villain behind the plot is unveiled at the end and he has it in for the titans! Ooh, very suspenseful I know *takes bow and gloats* Ok, better finish better before my ego completely takes over. Um...JIGGY! La, I don't know what I'm saying. Just review!
Sanity-Stealing-Lawn-Gnome: You are a new reviewer as well! I'm glad you think this is very sweet and awesome and all the other things you said it was! Yes! Ha, aren't you lucky, you just read this like yesterday (I don't have a calendar, it was eaten by my fish) and I updated today! Lucky you. Ok, I have no clue where the part about fish and calendar came in. It fits in nicely though, don't you think? Suggestions are welcome!
Dangerproneredhead: Yes, it does get interesting especially at the end were like the villain behind this is revealed and his accomplice is sort of too. So read on and tell me any suggestions you have ok? I'll try and update next week so you won't have to wait so long! Thanks for the wonderful review! You are super nice to me!
Woodelf193: DR. PEPPER! YOU MAKE THE WORLD TASTE BETTER!!! Wow, that's a great song. Speaking of songs, Starfire gets to sing a super funny song (well, the song isn't really funny but the fact she's singing it is) in the talent thingy so be on the look out for that on my next update, possibly. Ok, Why isn't Raven for Terra updated yet? I'm so in suspense and I want to know!!! I do understand about the writer's block thingy so I won't send you like hate mail or anything but do try to update ok? Pretty Please? *ok, enough whining for now* Yes, Gr...Terra I know. She's kinda annoying but I don't know...I heard from someone she was like evil and going to betray the team. Anyways, tell me what you think in a review!
Dark: Yes, toilet references, I realize. Well, it's all good anyways. I really loved your review, something about them makes me laugh but this time I learned not to read it in a library. Oh, yeah, words of the wise right there. I probably would have died if looks could kill, that library lady was really scary. *whimpers and hides under bed* I'm come out soon enough though, I promise. Just to keep you amused! ^_^
'pink_chicken_babe': Yay! Another long review! How wonderful! Wow, you actually counted puns, really though I'm worried for your personal health. Not many people survive the horror of my attempts at humor. Wow momma was pretty funny I guess and yes there is a great deal of bashing though I didn't mean it at first, honest. And yes, this is a weekly update thing, at least I try to make it one. Mr. Snufflekins will make another appearance, promise that too! And I'm glad you liked my plot twist, you can except much more.
Sorceress Vanessa: Hmph! Its already been past march 2nd and 3rd but you still haven't updated! What's up with that? Jk, Fanfiction net was had a few problems around then, didn't it? Like I got eighty emails that were sent about reviews and such. It took me an hour to sort it out, it was a nightmare. But all better now and ready to write a new chapter! P.S. Thanks for the good luck! I love good luck!
hydroflame: "YAY! Terra has landed!" Does that mean YAY some action or YAY I like Terra? Just wondering it doesn't really matter. I like Terra cause she's really interesting and a great plot device. Plus she could also get Raven to open up more. So it's all good. And no, you were not rambling since you have given me excellent inspiration! While I'm not so sure about Blackfire I will try and bring in Jinx or maybe even Robin's worst nightmare, Kitten. There's a world of possibilities!
pink2lips: You are the last reviewer who gets a response but by far one of the best! You made with so happy with your review! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that's not saying much since I'm happy a lot but none the less, thanks! Yes, a bikini would be funny and I think that Beast Boy realized that too. LOL, I still have yet to design Star and Raven's outfit, for evening gowns, swim suits, and their outfits for the talent competition. OK, that' all for now! R and R!

"The preliminaries will begin in 5 minutes! We're on air in five, four, three..."
Gar Logan, the amazingly beasted wonder, master of the ultra-supremely-advanced-megawatt-grin, self-proclaimed wooer of little chickens, honorary holder of the most-lipstick-marks-smudged-over-his-cheek medal and the largest-ego-boost-of-the-year award, not to mention most sinister culprit of bad puns and causer of shorted circuitry, nervously chewed on the number-two pencil, barely noticing Robin's glare as the wood snapped under the pressure of his two buck teeth, courtesy of the changeling's current state: 'beaver-mode.'
"You okay man? Want me to get that rubber sleeping bag of yours?" Needless to say, he was facing a few minor difficulties.
Beast Boy moaned. "Dude, this is no time for jokes!"
"I didn't know you could dance like that." A skimpily dressed redhead giggled.
Always the ladies' man, such a particularly afflicting trial at times, though it was clearly not the case for the evil-perpetrator of congested toilets who was unfortunate enough to be 'troubled' in some of the more peculiarly common aspects of life. Take waiting or even tofu consumption, for example. Notice what the boy wonder does wrong: 1) he is experiencing some...discomfort, 2) he has invented some defected style of polka/I-need-to-go dance, 3) the fact that he needs a rubber sleeping bag, and 4) he gnaws a quarter inch from the firecracker-red nails of an ill-fated chick while waiting in anticipation.
All of the afore mentioned factors are major turnoffs.
"Dude, I haven't been this scared since they opened Bob's Extra Meaty Steakhouse and Grill on main street. I can't believe they even dared to ban all 574 kinds of soy cubes! What could be left sacred in a world without tofu?" The green changeling waved his hands madly. "This is freaky, I mean I'm going to be on television. I hope we're recording this at home, even if I'm only in the audience, Raven's wearing a dress. It could sell for billions!"
"We should have left you at the tower with moody girl. She looked ready to kill when that lady tried to give her that make-up crap."
Beast Boy glanced at the velvety-plush stage curtains to make sure the dark girl wasn't near enough to hear him. "She probably would have thanked you for giving her the happiest day of her life. I bet Raven would give anything not to look constipated and wear sparkly peach eye shadow, especially if she could stay home with the teen heartthrob, handsome sensation, the charming dauntless prince and spend hours melting into my dreamy pools of emerald-green eyes. She wants me, I know she does. Raven's ju-..."
"Not even in your dreams."
A familiar black energy crackled around Beast Boy, uncorking the nearby champagne bottles to form a large bubbling splash of various expensive wines. "No No...Not the sound of water!" He morphed into a lion and charged for the men's room only to bounce off as the door became encased in the same eerie glow. "Raven! Ok, look I'm sorry. I'm SORRY! I didn't mean it. I promise, I didn't mean it! JUST LET ME GO!"
"C'mon Star! This isn't funny! Make her stop!" The giggle in the background sounded suspiciously like bright-eyed alien.
"You're right. BB, this isn't funny. It's hilarious." Cyborg returned with a large bag of buttered popcorn.
Raven's take on greenie slaughter was by far better than the highly educational destruction of pro-wrestling, the vicious terror of college football, and the vastly brutal beach sport, rugby. Oh yes, and did he mention that this fight had triple the ultimately extreme rush of his submarine's seismic blasters and the sonic boom combined? The robot smiled as he passed Robin some of the artery-clogging, fatty, cholesterol-filled snack, this was even better than besting Gar 1358 times at his new video games.
"I SAID I WAS SORRY! RAVEN! I'LL DO ANYTHING!"
The dark girl slammed her inauspicious victim to the wall. "Next time you talk about me, turn off your comm link."
Beast Boy slapped a hand to his forehead, of course! Cy had just created tiny ear pieces for the girls, disguised as earrings, so they would be able to communicate when the preliminaries began. But he'd said th-...Wait, Cyborg said that they 'weren't working yet.' He glared at his sonic-blasting teammate who had suddenly burst into an innocently cheerful tune of whistles that could be translated more commonly as: 'Ha Ha got you good." The pageant judges could later recall witnessing the strangest sight: a green rhino stampeding a half-robot man down the length of red carpet.
Robin grinned at the sight as he whipped out his handy dandy: walkie talkie. Yep, life was definitely beautiful. "All right girls! This is your one chance to get us inside the contest! I've registered you for all the categories and you'll get the times for your swimsuit photo shoots later. We have to keep a low profile so limit your powers. That means for the talent competi-."
"You have to use something other than your powers." Cyborg finished for their team leader as he ran from the jaws of an angry leopard. "Star, you can dance and Raven can sing. There, problem solved. Now MOVE people!"
"I'm a psychic. I move things with my mind. End of discussion. I refuse to sing and dance." The impatient croak in her voice made it final.
"Aw, Rae. You're already wearing peach makeup and a pink dress. Singing or dancing can't be much worse," Cyborg coaxed as he began poking through his built in CD rack. Luckily, Beast Boy decided to continue the chase after taking care of a few more personal issues. "There's gotta be some song out there you don't completely hate...hm, I'll look in my collection first...Let's see, I got a couple of Britney's...here's Christina...do you like Beyonce?"
"Do you like strutting around, singing about fervent hormones?"
Cyborg twitched at the image, "Point taken."
"There is a competition of talents? Glorious! I shall put our judges in an awed stupor with my singing of our Tamoranian folksongs or perhaps a recitation of the wondrous poetry of Blorthog, the holiday of friendship! Is the rapid consumption of blue and fuzzy fudged-dipped anchovy pizza a talent as well? I also know of a joyous opera in the language of the Gordanians."
"Um...Star? How about just an earth song?"
"Marvelous idea! I shall immediately make haste and learn this jingle of tu-."
"Right. I think there was a package for us in the front lobby. It might be your swim suits." Robin nodded for Cyborg to get into position as the stage curtains opened, signaling the beginning of the contest.
"Whoa! Raven's gonna wear a swim suit?" Beast Boy recovered a little to late form his previous trauma as the radio was cut off with a click and he was shushed by the angry pitchfork-waving mob of people in the row behind him.
Meanwhile, another conversation was only beginning...
"This is your only chance to get within touching distance of the titans." Slade watched the girl in the communicator. "I want them eating out of the palm of your hand. Win their trust-"
"...Then crush them."
