Chapter Eight: Get your game face on
Cyborg walked slowly down the hall. Whenever he reached a door, he would pound on it and call, "Room check in five minutes!" Ella stuck her head out of her room. "What's a room check?" she asked him. "It's where we all meet in the TV Room and then we make our way upstairs making sure each room is clean," he answered. "Okay." Everyone assembled in the TV Room and got ready for the inspection. Raven's room was first. As soon as Robin was about to open her door, she knocked his hand away. "Trust me. It's clean," she said. Not wanting to get on Raven's bad side, Robin went on to the next room. When they opened Starfire's room, they noticed that it was spotless. Ella's room gave the Titans quite a shock. She had painted the walls dark green and added many plants and vegetation as decoration. It kind of looked like they had left the tower and stepped into a forest. Weird. "I like the forest," Ella tried to explain. "Is it a problem?" "No, of course not," Robin answered. They went to Beastboy's room. It was not a pretty sight. The floor was littered with old pizza boxes, video games, and socks. Beastboy was sentenced not to leave his room until it was clean. They continued without him. Robin's room was next. Apart from the newspaper clippings that were on the walls, it was adequate. Cyborg's room was of course spotless. No one knew this but he was a total neat freak. Last but not least was Cloud's room. He had many dagger filled shelves and a few training devices. Strangely, the Titans got the creeps when they entered. Other than that, it was clean. "Now what?" Cloud asked. "How about we grab BB and hit the mall guys?" Cyborg questioned. "Sure! Will you girls be okay without us?" Flirted Robin "No, we'll die," Raven said sarcastically. "Yes, we'll be fine. Now go!" said Ella grabbing Beastboy by the collar and pushing them out the door. With that, the boys headed for the mall. "Now what do you guys want to do?" said Raven though she didn't really want to know. "Let us get some of the junk food and play a game of some sorts. I have been wanting to play the Truth or Dare game for some time," said Starfire. "Whatever," Ella said. "Same," said Raven. "I'll get the junk. You guys get comfy," said Ella. Now that they were settled on the couch with M&M's, chips, pizza, and popcorn, they were ready to play. "Who starts?" asked Raven. "Oh! I'll start!" Starfire exclaimed. "What must I do?" "You ask "Truth or Dare?" to one of us," Ella said to her. "Okay. Raven, Truth or Dare?" Star asked. "Um, how about dare. I don't want to say truth," Raven said. "Fine. You have to eat a whole bowl of my pudding of sadness!" Starfire said. Raven gulped. It was funny watching Raven turn from purple to green to red. After she finished, she took a trip to the washroom. It was 15 minutes before she returned so they could continue. "That was disgusting," she said weakly. She glared angrily at Ella who was rolling on the ground, laughing hysterically at her. "Ella, you're next. Truth or Dare?" "Dare," Ella said without hesitation. Raven thought for a second then said, "You have to delete Beastboy's highest score on his new game!" Starfire gasped. "Fine," said Ella. With a few clicks on Beastboy's PS2, the high score was long gone. "Oh! Ella, Beastboy will be thoroughly angered with you," said a shocked Starfire. "Meh! Whatcha gonna do?" Ella replied. "Now Starfire! Truth or Dare?" Starfire stated, "Truth." "Okay, do you want to kiss Robin?" Ella asked shrewdly. Starfire opened her mouth and was about to reply when the door swung open and the guys marched in. Starfire gave a gigantic sigh of relief. "We'll finish this later," Raven said as she walked out the door. "Did something happen?" Robin asked looking concerned. "What's with that empty bowl of pudding of sadness over there? Is something wrong?" "No, friend Robin," Star replied quickly. "Raven was just wanting a quick snack." Starfire got up hurriedly and left a confused looking Robin behind her.
Beastboy was turning on his PS2 when he noticed that his game was deleted. "Hey!" he exclaimed. "What happened to my game?" Ella discretely stood and ran to the roof and stayed there for the rest of the day. All the guys wore puzzled looks.
"Women," Cyborg said as he shook his head.
