Knife Edge: Part One
A Teen Titans fanfiction by J.S.Danskin (a.k.a. Invader Jed)
SCENE THREE – Titan Tower
The screenshot is outside Titan Tower, but the camera zooms in and two
distinct voices are heard, that of BEASTBOY and RAVEN, who are arguing.
BEASTBOY: All I'm saying is that you can sometimes be too grumpy. To me that counts as an emotion.
RAVEN (disgruntled): Well sometimes it's just too easy to be grumpy around you.
BEASTBOY: What, because I'm too happy for you or something?
RAVEN: No, because you're annoying.
She leaves, and as the door slides open for her, STARFIRE is revealed, who looks at RAVEN strangely before choosing not to speak and walking in. She notes BEASTBOY's sad expression and sits down next to him. BEASTBOY looks up at her and smiles grimly.
BEASTBOY: Hey, Star.
STARFIRE: Hello, Beastboy. Why are you so sad now, when earlier when you were chasing Cyborg you seemed so joyful?
BEASTBOY looks away and shrugs defensively. He sighs heavily.
STARFIRE: Would you like me to leave?
BEASTBOY: No, it's okay. I could do with some company.
STARFIRE: What are you sad about, Beastboy?
BEASTBOY: I'm not sad...just...thoughtful.
STARFIRE looks at him, obviously not understanding fully what he means, but
not wanting to seem rude.
STARFIRE: What are you full of thought about?
BEASTBOY: Oh, no one...(he realises what he said and blushes, stammering:) I mean, nothing.
STARFIRE (gently): You are thinking of Terra, perhaps?
BEASTBOY looks up at her.
BEASTBOY: How did you know?
STARFIRE: I did not. I guessed.
BEASTBOY: I guess it's kinda obvious.
STARFIRE shifts in her seat and pats BEASTBOY's hand affectionately. He
smiles at her softly.
STARFIRE: One day we will return her to her true self, do not worry.
BEASTBOY: I hope you're right.
He picks up a framed photograph of the Teen Titans and Terra sitting outside a café. He smiles slightly and hands it to STARFIRE, who traces a finger along it until it rests on ROBIN, who is holding to fingers over CYBORG's head in rabbit ears. She smiles to herself, and BEASTBOY peers over at the picture and the dreamy look in her eyes.
BEASTBOY (with sudden realisation): You like him, don't you?
STARFIRE looks up at him.
STARFIRE (innocently): Who?
BEASTBOY: Duh! Robin!
STARFIRE flushes furiously and she closes her eyes, scratching the back of her head awkwardly. She laughs nervously, before quickly returning to her usual, natural expression. She looks once more at the picture before putting it down so the photograph faces downwards. BEASTBOY regards her carefully.
STARFIRE (quietly): He is my...friend. Of course I like him.
BEASTBOY: I mean like him like him. You are attracted to him.
STARFIRE: You mean he wears bright colours so it is easy to know where he is?
BEASTBOY (rolling his eyes): No, what I mean is . . .
He is cut off by the door opening and ROBIN emerging. He runs in urgently
and stands in front of STARFIRE and BEASTBOY.
ROBIN (importantly): Star, Beastboy, there's trouble. That guy we caught last week is back. We gotta go now.
He turns and leaves quickly. STARFIRE gets up to follow him, and BEASTBOY notices the long look she gave ROBIN. STARFIRE leaves and BEASTBOY follows
her, and the door closes behind them.
SCENE CLOSED

Answers to reviews:
Redflame08: Thanks so much for being my first reviewer! YAAAAAY I feel so happy and special and stuff. Yeah I know it's quite a weird way to do it, but not quite as bizarre as my Invader Zim musical!!! I hope it's not too difficult or offputting to read, and I normally write stories in the usual way, I just wanted to have a bash at writing a screenplay, and it's quite fun to do. At least the story comes through and people can picture it in their heads, that's the main thing. And the fact that you are enjoying it just makes me a happy happy bunny. Please come back and review again!!
Moon-N-Stars: Wow you like the way it's going after two chapters? Funky, man! It took me to come up with an original plotline, and originally I was just going to do one episode, but then I thought . . . nah I'll just go for it. It's going pretty well, I have all the scenes mapped out, so all I need to do is actually write them!!! My idea was to make it as realistic as possible to a Teen Titans episode, so I hope I've done that okay! Your review is greatly appreciated, please come back and read more!!!
