Chapter 3 "Silence and Hurt Feelings"
Everyone was in the kitchen eating breakfast. Everyone was having cereal, except Beast Boy who was eating a grapefruit, well; "eating" might not be the best word. It was more like "poke it until it looked like some of it had been eaten". It'd been 2 days since he'd overheard Starfire, Robin and Cyborg making fun of him, and the words still hurt. Beast Boy wasn't the only one that wasn't really eating. In fact, the whole team was more staring at their food than eating it. The whole tower was quiet, and no one seemed like they noticed. It was like no one had any words left. Each titan was absorbed in his or her own thoughts. Raven was still a little unnerved from her dream, it'd seemed so real that she still hadn't went back to sleep since she had it. It'd been two days, and she was beginning to feel the drag. Cyborg had been training for a while, but he was feeling the need to have some fun. It was just too bad that no one seemed up to having some fun. He really didn't even have anyone that he could play video games with now that Beast Boy was being serious. Robin kept saying he wasn't in the mood to play, Starfire didn't know how to play, and he didn't want to play against the game because it wasn't much of a challenge. Starfire was also lost in deep thought. Since this silly bet had started, the tower had seemed quiet, and desolate. There was nowhere to go, and no one to do anything with. No one was telling jokes, or playing video games. No one was making up strategies, and no one wanted to watch TV, or go to the movies. It was like her friends had forgotten the others were there, and she was beginning to wonder if they cared anymore. Robin was quiet for his own reasons as well. He while was worried about what Cinderblock, and Slade's next moves would be, he was more concerned for his friends. He wondered if he was the only one to notice that everyone was quiet, he wondered if anyone else was feeling just a little bit depressed.
"Beast Boy, tell me a joke." Starfire said.
"No." He replied, annoyed that she even asked. 'I can't believe she really thought I'd tell her a joke and lose this bet just because she asked! She must think I'm pretty stupid...I wouldn't be surprised if they all thought that...'he thought sadly. Starfire was slightly taken back by her friend's rude answer to her question. 'I only wished to lighten the mood'.
Standing up, Starfire said, "What is wrong with everyone? Why is everyone seeming so sad? I suggest we go out for pizza, we could enjoy, and talk like before, and-"
"Starfire, sit down." Raven interrupted, "No one wants to go out for pizza with you at 7:00 in the morning."
"But, I only-" Starfire started.
"She's right Star." Robin said
"But-"
"Starfire. Drop It." Robin responded in a foul tone. Starfire sat down, but it was obvious they'd hurt her feelings. She tried to hold back the tears, but they came anyway. Not wanting anyone to see how upset she was, she excused herself in a cracked voice, and retreated to her room. Emotions were running high in the whole tower, and things were sure to get worse...
