Chapter 5
Upon Cyborg's entry, he was greeted with the confusing sight of Meht getting to her feet, the bowl upside down on the floor, fish, squid, two crabs, and a lobster on the floor, a broken Gameboy SP, and a squealing Beastboy with a dead squid on his head. Cyborg began to laugh. "What happened here?" he asked.
Raven began, "Well..."

Meht emerged from the elevator carrying her bowl of seafood. Beastboy was again hooked to his Gameboy, Raven was meditating, Robin was off training, and Star was watching T.V. Star turned her attention to Meht and wrinkled her nose. "Why do you bring in such slimy creatures?" Starfire inquired innocently. Meht hesitated.
"My morning and mid-day food." replied Meht in a matter-of-fact sort of tone. She continued to the kitchen counter to set her bowl down.
After hearing Meht's response, the Gameboy went flying out of Beastboy's green hands. "WHAT?" he choked. He continued. "That's gross!" The Gameboy fell a few feet short of Meht, bounced, causing it to break, and skidded forward. Meht was still walking, and then, all of the sudden; she tripped on the broken gaming system. The bowl flipped out of her hands, spinning in mid air. Fish and squid flew across the room, landing in random places. The crab narrowly missed Starfire, who was disgusted by it and it's cracked shell. No damage was inflicted...that was, until one accursed cephalopod flew off course...
The squid ricochet into the air, hitting a lamp, then the television, leaving moist squidiness at the points of impact. Then, as if it had a mind of its own, the squid zeroed in on it's target. And then in 3...2...1....THWACK! Right smack on Beastboy's head.

"...And then you came in." Raven finished, monotone the whole time. She smirked a little, but not noticeably.
Cyborg cracked up laughing, tears beginning to come to his eye. Meht plucked the squid from Beastboy's hair. "I am sorry, Boy of Beasts." She simply said, and she tossed the squid into the bowl with the other food she picked up during Raven's story. Starfire examined the dead crab. "Your food you picked out, it looks appetizing!" she said, beaming. "Would you like to cook the dinner feast with me? I'm sure it will be grand!"
"It sounds like...how do you say it? Fun, I think. I gladly accept your invitation!" Meht said, grinning wildly. The two girls left the room, giggling, to go converse their dinner plan. Raven retreated to the roof to meditate. Robin walked in to find a stunned Cyborg and Beastboy. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"Starfire and Meht..." the two began in unison.
"What about them? Is Star—I mean...are they all right?!"
"They....they..."
"They what? Tell me what happened to her—er, them!"
"They're cooking dinner."
"What's wrong with that? Starfire could use some help with cooking." said Robin. Cy and BB pointed over to the lonely bowl of dead sea creatures.
"That...is Meht's breakfast..."
Robin was terrified.

The four Titans who didn't cook waited at the table uneasily. Raven showed no outward emotion, as usual. Beastboy prayed they wouldn't make him eat meat. Cyborg just sat in discomfort. Robin began to tried to even comprehend what horrors he may have to stomach for fear of hurting Starfire—and Meht's—feelings. Proud smiles radiated from the two preparers of the food as they set the plates on the table.
Beastboy had green, spinach looking stuff on it and a chunk of tofu with added flavoring shaped oddly like a...platypus. Interesting...
Cyborg's plate had a de-tentacled squid cooked to a light brown and fish sticks from the freezer.
Raven and Robin ate the same thing; Squid just like the one on Cy's plate and the vegetable-ish stuff like on Beastboy's plate.
Starfire's plate was like Robin and Raven's but instead of squid, she had crab. A little saucer of melted butter was beside her plate.
Meht also ate what Robin and Raven ate. The only difference was that she ate it raw and her squid had tentacles.
The cups were passed out to each Titan and Meht and a pitcher of some indigo concoction was placed in the center of the table. They said grace (Yep. Starfire was getting more religious lately, and she made them pray before dinner or else she became SEVERELY upset. She even went to church on Sunday. Pentecostal. Go figure.) And then began to eat. At least Star and Meht began to eat, anyways. The others just stared. "Come now!" said Meht to the others. She bit a tentacle off the squid on her plate, chewed, and swallowed as if it was normal to her, which it was. "Eat!"
"Yes, friends! Eat!" Star chimed in. She tried to open the shell of her crab, but temporarily gave up and moved on to her greens.
"What is it?" asked Robin. Beastboy began eating his tofu platypus. 'Why a platypus...' he wondered to himself.
Starfire was about to speak, but Meht cut her of before she could reveal anything. "We will not tell you until you eat what you cannot identify."
The four groaned. BB started on the green stuff, Cy started on the squid, Raven poured herself a drink, and Robin also tried the squid. The chewed slow, expecting the worst. There was an awkward silence. Star and Meht looked to the others eagerly. And then....
"You know, I like this green stuff..." said Beastboy.
"Mm, tastes like chicken!" said Cy.
"I like it, it's chewy," said Robin.
Raven didn't compliment. But then again, she didn't criticize, which was good enough. "So, what is it already?"
The two girls beamed. Star looked to Meht. Meht nodded approvingly. "Honey mustard-covered squid cooked on the skillet with a little butter, sea weed salad, and grape cool aid and blue raspberry cool aid mixed with a bit of extra sugar!"
Everyone else nodded and resumed eating. Everyone else except Cyborg. "What?! You made me eat squid?!" he exclaimed.
Starfire and Meht giggled a little. Cyborg eyed the two for a few seconds. "It was the one that got in Beastboy's hair, too, wasn't it?" he asked, suspiciously.
Meht laughed. "At least I did not just decide to serve your squid raw with tentacles!"
Cyborg quietly began to eat.
Author's not: Mmm, squid, mustard, and sea weed! Yum! Or as they say in the Philippines, Masarap!
