"Dude! Tell us already!" BB whined.
"There's gonna be like a movie filmed at our school!" Cyborg said.
"And this is important because..." Raven asked.
"We'll be famous!" BB and Cyborg said at the same time.
"Jinx! Now you can't talk!" Cyborg said to BB.
"The odd of you're being 'found' and becoming 'famous' are like one in a billion. You have got to be kidding," Raven said, trying to talk sense into them.
"So where do you want your house to be when we make millions of dollars and buy mansions?" BB said, not batting an eyelash.
"Maybe California. They have a lot of cool technology out there." Cyborg responded, thinking carefully. "but then again, New York does have a lot in its favor too..."
"Could we please get back to the real world? We don't even know what type of movie it's going to be. They're probably just using the school and not even bothering to use the students as extras," Raven struggled for calm.
"Not true!" Cyborg denied Raven's accusations. "It says here that students hoping to become extras and get minor rolls are to report to the gym at first period tomorrow." Cyborg waved the poster in front of Raven.
Raven grabbed it and read carefully. "He does seem to be right..." Raven admitted slowly. Seeing Cyborg's head begin to swell up, she quickly added, "For once."
BB burst out laughing as Cyborg slowly turned to him. "That's it, you're gonna pay!" Cyborg yelled. He grabbed BB and put him in a headlock. "Aww yeah. That's what I'm talking about," Cyborg laughed as BB struggled to get free.
"Dude! I didn't even say it! Go pick on Raven," Cyborg turned to look at Raven.
Without even looking away from the poster Raven told him, "Don't even think about it."
Cyborg shrugged and resumed strangling BB as Robin and Star walked over to Raven.
"Is it true? Is there really going to be a movie?" Star asked.
"Why here?" Robin asked. "It's not like our school is anything special."
They turned to look at the school. It was rectangular in shape and made out of bricks. The steps were concrete and falling apart. The school seemed quite...boring.
"I guess. Maybe it will be a documentary." Raven said, shrugging. "All I know is I'm signing up for the auditions."
"You are?" Everyone turned to look at her. Cyborg even dropped BB who stared at her while rubbing his neck.
Raven turned slightly red. "Of course. Weren't you listening to what Cyborg said? You miss first period. I didn't think you were that into math."
Everyone sighed and BB burst out laughing.
"Hahaha. Dude! I thought you meant you wanted to really be in the movie. Like you thought you had a chance."
BB completely disregarded the death glances every shot at him.
Raven turned around and looked at him. "Care to repeat that?"
"What? I only said I didn't think you actually had a chance in the movie..." BB voice trailed off as he realized what he said. "oops..."
"I'm not even going to dignify that with a response." Raven said, turning away.
"Aww Raven, I didn't mean it like that." BB said.
"Didn't you?" Raven asked pointedly.
"Come on Rae. You know he doesn't think." Cyborg said, trying to diffuse the situation.
"Yea," BB chimed in.
"See? Point proven," Cyborg continued.
"Hey! Wait! Dude! I totally think," BB tried to talk.
Raven turned back. "I guess you're right Cyborg. I can't use his stupidity against him."
"Yea!" BB said. "Oh wait. You just insulted me again didn't you?"
Everyone nodded slowly.
"Dude!" BB said. "This is so unfair."
Everyone burst out laughing. That finished, they piled into Cyborg's car and headed to his house to do some serious gaming.
Or should I say the guys did? Raven and star hung out in the kitchen and attempted to bake some cookies that were from one of the places Star had lived previously.
"Sugar and salt look the same, don't you think?" Star asked Raven. "I haven't done much cooking, but I'm sure I can just substitute one for the other. I can't find the sugar."
Raven got a brilliant idea. "Yea, they can be substituted. Hey Star, why don't you give these to BB. I'm sure he'd like them."
"Great idea! No offense but they don't look exactly as I remember and I'd rather not test them on myself." Humming softly to herself, Star went off in search of BB.
'This is too easy,' Raven said, laughing to herself as she began to put the ingredients away. She heard a scream that seemed to emanate from BB in the next room. 'Right on time,' She laughed again.
-----------------------
The next day, the Titans had barely gotten through the front door when at least ten people came up telling them about the movie.
"We know, we know," Cyborg said, trying to get rid of everyone.
More people just came up. Cyborg gave up on trying to talk to the overzealous students and just pushed passed them. The rest of the Titans followed in his wake.
After they dropped off their stuff, the Titans went to their math class to sign in. the room was entirely empty except for the teacher, once again sitting in the corner talking to himself. Star looked around for an attendance sheet before she shrugged and turned to the others. "It's not like he'll notice anyway." With murmurs of consent, the Titans left the class and went to the gym.
-----------------------
It was clear something was going on long before they actually reached the gym. Crowds of students surrounding it made it impossible to get through. Impossible for anyone but Cyborg that is. He picked up BB.
"Dude! What are you doing?" BB said.
Cyborg ignored him and using him as a human battering ram, he made a path for him and the other Titans. When they finally reached close to the beginning of the line, he set BB down.
BB turned around and walked in circles. He couldn't even talk for several minutes which was a nice break for the rest of the Titans.
They waited until they were about 2 people from the front when they realized the line hadn't moved for five minutes.
"Dude! What's going on?" BB asked impatiently.
"I don't know," Robin answered, peeking around the people in front of him. He hardly needed to do this however as a scream erupted from behind the curtain. A very loud, ear-piercing, annoying, familiar scream.
"What do you mean I can't be in this movie?" Kitten screeched. "Wait till my dad hears about this. You'll be fired before you even know it! I'm definitely star material! I'm the best looking girl at the school! You don't know who you're messing with..." Kitten continued to scream as she was marched past the long line of students to the exit of the gym. Two very large men were holding her stiffly.
"This is harassment!" she screamed as the door closed with a bang.
"All of a sudden, the movie is starting to look better and better," Raven added.
"At least the producer knows what he is doing," Star said.
With Kitten gone, it was only a short time until the titans reached the front of the line. The producer had all five of them taken to him since he was running out of time.
"You're perfect!" he suddenly screamed.
The Titans looked at each other.
"You, right there!" the producer continued, pulling Robin forward. "Do you work out?"
"Umm...yea...I do." Robin answered still slightly confused.
"You will be great for stunts and action."
"Well I guess I could," Robin agreed smiling.
"And you!" The producer grabbed Star next. "Have you modeled before? You will work great with the clothes. Its going to feature 19th century people in the 21st century."
Star smiled. 'This is so cool! No matter how small my role, I'm going to be in a movie!'
The producer looked at Raven and Cyborg. "You two will work too! You would make a great herb woman, you're dark and mysterious. And I can see from your laptop and electronics you could work on electronics and special effects for me. It's a bit low-budget so I don't have many people hired."
As much as Raven disdained the movie she was happy to miss class and she was always into meditation and natural cures. "I guess so..." she calmly agreed.
Cyborg was already nodding his head. "I could do that. Tell me, are you using a REW341 system or a QJY857 system?"
"Oh definitely the REW341. We aren't that low-budget," The producer and Cyborg laughed at the joke no one else understood.
"Dude! Did you forget about me?" BB said. "Hello, the coolest and cutest of all of them?"
"You wish," Cyborg muttered.
The producer scratched his head. "Well, to tell the truth, I don't know if we'll need you," he spat out quickly.
"What?" BB asked.
"We already have enough extras and comic relief." Turning to the other Titans he said, "Be there after school. You can all go now."
He made shooing motions with his hands and the Titans walked out of the gym.
"What? Dude, did he just say he didn't want me in his movie?" BB sputtered. "I can't believe this."
"Watch it or you'll start sounding like Kitten," Raven said. "Besides its not like we have big parts."
"Hello? I don't have any part!" BB whined. Sighing he turned away. "It's no big deal."
The rest of the Titans looked at each other. As happy as they were, and they were quite happy, they couldn't stand seeing BB down like this.
"We don't need to be in the move," Robin said.
"No it's fine," BB said.
"You heard the man, he said it's cool," Cyborg cut in quickly, only to back down at Raven and Star's angry faces. "You know what will make you feel better?" He asked, gently. Then he got a wicked smile. "A 5 hour, horror movie marathon."
BB's entire face lighted up. "You mean it?" he asked.
"Yeah. I'll even pay,"
"Dude! Why are we standing here? There're movies to rent!"
BB dragged the Titans out to the car. "Come on, come on!"
"So much for being sad," Raven said.
They piled into the car and Cyborg sped away from the school, heading off to the movie rental store.
