Battle Time and a Few Other Surprises

"What happened here?" I asked. I looked at the glass that was all over the sidewalk and into the store. A hardware store was broken into and all the computers and stuff were taken. "The portable projectors were the items that were stolen most of all. Not one was left." said Robin.

"Hey there, puke pails!" a tiny annoying voice piped up. I turned around. Gizmo was in mid-air hanging off of his spider robot thing that comes outta his bookbag. "And the nerd of the year is..." I muttered, charging at him as a bull. He jumped outta the way, making me crash right into the wall behind him. "Ouch." I turn my head, hearing Raven's chanting. Maybe I can sneak up and... I crept up while the migit was facing Cyborg.

A flash came my way and I rubbed my eyes. "Whaa?" I saw her and froze. She was coming my way! That long freaky hair, dead white skin, small figure...movies are awesome and all, but they work in your mind. Here's a little info about me and scared. It never really happens now that I have control over it, but this got me by surprise.

"Hic, hic, hic." Next thing I hear is Gizmo laughing. THE PROJECTORS! Aww man! "YOU..hic..LITTLE...hic" I run at him, rhino, and snapped one of the legs. Cy cought him and holds him up like he won a trophy. "Titans: one, Gizmo: zero!" he yells out.

I stay away from the others, until Robin realizes that I'm missing. "Hey, Beast Boy! Why are you over there?" "No reason." I yell back quickly before I can 'hic' mid-sentence. "Can we go back to the club?" Jamina asks. "Yes, please?!" adds Starfire. At this point, this might be a really good idea. I can finish off the hiccups with nobody hearing me. Blasting music, I thank thee, but good old Robin says, "No, I think we need a rest. We can go tommarrow."

"Hey BB, I gotta ask ya something." Cy calls me over. "Ohh." I moan. "Hic." I shut my mouth and walk next to him. "Hey, what did..." He shuts his mouth. I look up curiously. Raven's right there. I'm guessing it has to do with her. "What was with the anger urge, Beast Boy?" Jamina asks me. I forget about my hiccups and answer.

"Oh, I , uh, Gizmo kinda pulled a trick on me..hic." Everyone looks at me. That was so what I didn't want. "You have the.." "No!" I cut off Robin. "Oh yes you.." "No!" I keep walking, staring straight ahead. I hate getting the hiccups. They make you feel like a little kid, with all the dumb remedies and stuff. You can bet your ...whatever's important to you that Starfire will sooner or later try to cure me.

The other catch up to me. "Beast Boy, is there a way to prevent the sound of 'hics' that you make?" Starfire asks me. "There are different ways of getting rid of the hiccups." Robin answers for me. Cy is trying not to laugh behind Robin. I hope he busts his gut.

"Those are...hiccups?!" he finally lets out. I make fists and look at the ground. Oh yeah, my hiccups, if you want to call them hiccups, sound like a squeaky toy that's been sat on. "Do these sounds expel out of you because you are sad?" "Huh? Hic!" I cover my mouth and look at her confused. "Your expression is very sad and lost...will a hug make the troublesome 'hics' go away?" Why...? "No, I'm fine. Hic!" "But you are still hiccing and..." "Hugs won't make hiccups go away, Starfire." says Raven.

When we got home, Starfire ran into the kitchen to find anything that would cure my 'troublesome hics'. This was going to be the weirdest remedy book Starfire will ever come up with.

Starfire came running back with soda, ketchup, water, lemons, chocolate, I wanted that, and some book. "I may need a cup." She announces. What was she gonna do to me? "Starfire? What's all that stuff for?" asks Jamina. "This will help Beast Boy." "Hic!" Cyborg gets over his laughing and says, "The right way to get rid of hiccups is to scare them outta him." "Uhh, I don't think...hic!"

"It's the best way, and it works." "That does not sound very nice." complains Star. "Yeah, I'm with her. Heh." I say nervously. Scaring me would mean more hiccups. NO thank you. "Oh, I must add water..." Starfire was making some kind of gloop that looked like her cooking. "You hafta drink that?!" whispers Jamina. "That is not going down my throat." I answered.

Next thing I know, I have the nastiest tasting blob traveling down into my stomach, making me gag. "Cahh, EWWW, Stharfire! Ith dithcuthting." "It was not intended to have a pleasurable taste." "No kidding!" "I am not." Everyone waited. "Hic!" Cyborg shook his head, "Only scaring will work." Robin nodded. "That will only anger him." said Starfire.

I left, I don't think they even noticed, but I went to the roof. It was the farthest place from the noise. I sat on the edge of the roof and stared at the black ocean, feeling the cool breeze. Me and my hiccups. Great combo, no? "Meow." Uhh. "What?" The cat froze. I don't think he realized that I was here, too. Shadow gave another weak, "Meow." "Little guy's scared." I felt a little bad for him, but all the memories came back to me: Shadow ripping up my blankets, Shadow constantly hiding my stuff, Shadow hissing at me for no reason.

I smiled and changed into a pitbull. The cat walked quickly to the door, but it was closed. Quietly, I snuck up behind him and barked ferociously. He shot off, tripped, but kept running to the other side of the roof. "Ahahahahaha!" I rolled around, cracking up. "Oh dude! That was good!" "No it wasn't. That was cruel."

"Wha?" I turned to see Jamina with her arms folded, looking at me. Oo, busted. "Uh, hey Jamina, what brings you up here to the roof?" "Looking for you. Why'd you scare Shadow? He didn't do anything to you." If only she knew. I shrugged. I had no reason and I wasn't gonna lie to her. "Escaping the noise, too?" I asked. "Yeah. To think it was all started by your hiccups." "Hic. Uhh, I thought I was finally through with those. Thanks a lot." I muttered.

"Sorry." Jamina giggled. I instantly smiled. It's weird. When she's happy, I am, too. ...yeah, I know. Hey, it happens when you like someone, so...anyway. I was feeling great at the time, even with the hiccups, until I was taken away by Cyborg. "No! Hey! Dude, stop!" "We're helping you, man." Musta been a pitiful sight to see Cyborg dragging me through my feet while I was clawing at the ground, leaving ten finger tunnels trailing with me.

"Hold your breath and drink water." "Eat this! I do think it will be better tasting than the last batter..." "Hang upside down." All the shouts were getting to me. "I'm not doing any of that stuff." I said loudly, shutting them all up. "You are all over reacting. They're just hiccups." said Raven from her corner. Thank you, Raven! But they didn't listen. Figures. A huge pop banged in my ear, making me jump, "AHH! Hic! Hic! Hic! Hic! Hic!"

"That made it worse." said Robin. Cyborg was defitnitly confused, "....made it worse?! It's supposed to get rid of 'em." "I...hic!...get...hic!...hiccups...hic!...when...hic!..." Starfire didn't let me finish. She stuck soda into my mouth. When I was done, everybody stared. "Maybe it...urp, urp, urp, urp, urp, hic!" "That did not work..." She put three spoons of I don't know what into my mouth. Do I really have to mention how that tasted? "Star, your making me sick..." "Just a minimum amount more..." It kept coming at me and I couldn't stop it.

The last one she tripped. The spoon jabbed me in my eye and the stuff ended up all over me. I couldn't take it anymore. "STARFIRE, LEAVE ME ALONE! THIS JUNK ISN'T HELPING ME!" Big mistake. Her huge green eyes filled up with tears. I went totally blank, I wasn't expecting that. She flew to her room before I could apologise.

I hate it when I'm treated like I'm the bad guy. Yeah, I make mistakes but the glares I get..."I'm thinking I should go apologise now, huh?" I didn't stay around long enough for an answer. I think they were gonna get their torches and pitched forks.

Author's note: Hey guys, before I talk or anything, I would like to thank ~Blackshield~ for noticing a glitch in my story. I fixed it now, so don't worry dudes. And I'm kinda having a contest. Any offers would help greatly. Ok here's the task I'm needing help with.

-What, in my story (including all characters), would be the worst task that anyone could ask Beast Boy to do? The thing that would make him fear the most?-

This will be put in my next chapter...oh and the winner, I will e-mail a good picture of their faverite character or a whole group shot of the titans. So at least there's a reward, lol. So get those brains thinking, because mine has been blocked.
