Chapter Nine: Romance is in the Air
Ella was sitting on the roof cross-legged, playing her flute when Cloud stepped onto the roof. "Am I disturbing you?" he asked.
"No, it's okay," she replied.
"So. You deleted Beastboy's game, huh?" he asked.
"Um, what makes you say that?" She replied, looking guilty.
"Well, you walked out of there pretty quickly after he got all mad. And, Starfire told me."
"She did WHAT?" Ella stood up angrily.
"Whoa. It's not my fault. She was just talking about your game and she told everyone what you did. Beastboy is on the prowl for you."
"Oh, Damn."
"Yeah! You're probably dead." Cloud said, looking into her eyes.
"Yeah! But...it was funny! I guess," She said looking at him. "Jeeze," she thought, "someone could get lost in his eyes if they stared long enough." All of a sudden, something went horribly wrong.
"ELLA!" Yelled Beastboy. "YOU BETTER NOT BE UP THERE OR YOU'RE DEAD!"
"Oh Crap!" she exclaimed. "I'm going to make my leave now. Cover for me!"
"Okay" Cloud said "See you!" "Why now?!?" Cloud thought angrily. Ella turned around and flew off the roof.
"Great!" said an angry Beastboy "She's not up here!"
"Yeah" said Cloud "Did you know that Raven told her to do it?"
"WHAT? Now I have 2 people to kill? RAVEN, ELLA you can't run forever!" Beastboy started mumbling curses as he stomped inside. Cloud followed him.
Beastboy was still angry at dinnertime when Ella and Raven didn't show up. To his misfortune, he burnt his tofu, to everyone's relief. Meanwhile, Ella and Raven were hiding in Raven's room eating the pizza they had just ordered. They were plotting on how to kill Starfire and avoid Beastboy at the same time. Suddenly, Starfire ran into the room. "Now Beastboy is angry at me!" she said hurriedly. "Can I stay here?"
Raven and Ella looked at each other. "Why is he mad at you?" Raven asked.
"Because I was playing the game, too!" She replied miserably.
"Okay, you can stay," Raven, told her. Then, someone started pounding on the door.
"I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE! ALL OF YOU!!!" Beastboy yelled. Quick as a flash, Ella had the air duct open and was crawling through it. Raven was about to climb into it when the door burst open and Beastboy was running at them. Ella pulled Raven into the duct and they left Starfire to fend for her-self. After a week of dish duty, the girls' debt was repaid and Beastboy was happy.
