Chapter 3- Stuck
"What's the racket for?" hollered Cyborg, Poor Cyborg was walking towards the kitchen to get some breakfast and next thing he knew Robin and Raven were zooming pass him causing him to trip. Both Robin and Raven stopped dead on their tracks. Smokes were spouting from their heels and a nervous look was plastered on their face.
"Uh..." words failed Raven and she turned to Robin for help.
"Umm... Robin stole my mirror." muttered Robin.
"Okay" responded the unsure Cyborg. He shot a weird glance at Robin and shivered. "Whatever boy. Just give Raven back her mirror." Raven stared at her own image in disbelief. She could not believe that Robin just fabricated the lamest excuse ever. She could have done better.
"Sure I'll do that." responded Raven.
"Yea, I am going to get some breakfast now." Cyborg stalked away with a mixed up feeling.
"That was close." whispered Robin.
"You think?" replied the sardonic Raven.
"Who wants sausage and pepperoni pizza?" squeaked the cherry Beastboy.
"I'll have a piece." demanded Robin. Suddenly everything grew very quiet. Everybody stopped what they were doing and gaped at Robin. It was so still that Robin could hear the refrigerator humming. Robin felt someone kicking his knee. He looked and saw Raven trying to signal him something.
Beastboy stood positively motionless with the slice of pizza dangling in his hand ready to place it on Robin's plate. "You serious Raven? You never eat sausage and pepperoni. I was going to serve it to Robin." Robin finally realized what he did.
"Oh...um..... I was just being sarcastic. I was just kidding." On the other side, Raven quickly forced a hearty laugh.
"Haha, Raven you are so funny. You sure spooked us out." She raised her voice and harshly shoved the slice of pizza onto Robin's plate. "Here have your usual olive and ham slice of pizza." Everyone else laughed and ate uneasily.
"Who wants to play a game?" yelled Cy. He smacked Robin's shoulder and challenged him. "I am going to so beat you."
"How about another day?" replied the tensed Raven. Raven felt someone' eyes piercing behind her back. She turned aside and saw Robin smiling evilly.
"On the other hand, I might as well get this over with." Cyborg beamed with a gigantic grin and hurriedly jumped onto the couch to get ready to play. Raven picked up the controller that Cyborg threw to her and looked at it with disgust.
"Alright let's go. First one to the finish line in 3 rounds wins. I am going to kick your ass with the special XZY combination that will score me major points." Raven's face was blank. She did not get a single thing.
"How do you start?" Cyborg tipped over.
"Dude, stop pulling my leg. You knew how to play this without reading the manual what's with you? You feeling sick?" Raven sneered at Cyborg and threw a dirty look. Unable to contain his brewing anger, Robin sneaked over and cringed on the ledge of the sofa.
"What are you doing here Raven?"
"Oh, just observing this ultra coo- I mean boring game."
"Why don't you stick with your books" hinted Raven.
"O yea. Those are so much more interesting than this game." Robin stomped back sorely. He was really bitter. He wanted to play so bad, but no he was stuck with a dumb book. He sat at the table and cracked open a book. He was somehow reading a mellow poem by Edgar Allan Poe. It contained a sad and scary atmosphere.
"This is so much fun Robin. I beat you how many times already?" Cyborg was slapping his knees and laughing with tears. He was practically rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Get over it." Raven's eyes were tired and she was stuck gawking at the words "Game Over Loser". She turned around and spotted Robin. His eyes were glued on the TV the whole time and he looked as though he died twenty times over, for each time that Raven had lost. Beastboy immediately butted in.
"Hey, I want to play against Robin. Maybe I could beat him too. This will be the first time I do that." Raven attempted to roll up her eyes but then remembered what Robin said.
"Robin I am so going to kill you. Man you were so awful just now." Beastboy was very elated. He truly believed that he could beat Robin.
"Fine." The sullen Raven got ready for another round of humiliating waste of time but this time her heart was fluttering. Maybe because of Beastboy's presence. The game began and right away Raven drove into an 'exit' sign. Her car spin twice and finally became stable. By now Beastboy had passed the finish line once. "Damn" cursed the frustrated girl.
"I beat you Robin." Beastboy danced around Raven and began to sing his victory song in front of her face. Raven looked at the controller with hatred. She hated it so much. She had never lost so much in her life over a stupid game. She was desperate and couldn't take loosing again so she opt the one option she had.
"Beastboy why don't you teach me the functions of this controller?" Beastboy was looking at Robin very hard.
"Are you kidding me? You know every single button on the controller. You even know the secret codes and buttons." Beastboy did not receive an answer.
"Man you are serious huh? Fine I'll teach you and you better remember this day. The day Beastboy teaches Robin something okay." Beastboy spoke with pride and puffed his chest.
B-boy pointed out each button to Raven. "This here is the start button, it starts the game...." Raven listened to b-boy's silly voice and watched every movement with care. She was so touched.
By now Robin was very furious. After hearing Beastboy say, "Remember this day. The day Beastboy teaches Robin something okay," he couldn't take it. He shut his book and returned to his room. He sat down and began to mediate to soothe himself. He sat there and couldn't concentrate. Instead he found himself mesmerized by the serene view. The one thing he loved about Raven's room was this view. In his room it was like living in a trapped box of unsolved mystery. Robin's violet eyes lay upon the soft running water. They scanned the peacefully valley and green lavishing trees. Suddenly he heard a knock at his door.
"Who is it?"
"It is I, Starfire." Robin's heart began to race. He got up and unlatched his door.
"Raven, I was just wondering if you would like to engage in a conversation between two girls. I believe on earth it is called 'Girl talk'." Robin stood there in be wilderness.
"Ah.. sure."
"O what wonderful news this is. We could converse about many topics. Starfire clasped her hand. She was so anxious. "Which shall we commence with?" Robin looked for someone for help.
"Anything you want."
"Hmm." Starfire's eyes were sparkling. She was thinking very hard yet at the same time her big brilliant smile was hanging on her face. "We shall talk about these earthly booklets that I have collected. They are just marvelous." Starfire began to flip through the pages of the magazines. Her eyes were bugling out with joy. "How about this selection?" Starfire pointed at the makeup section. Robin just kind of shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
"This should be fun and awesome. O Raven we are just going to have a blast." Robin agreed in his heart.
Hope this is satisfying. Please feed my mailbox. It is extremely hungry.
