Hey, y'all! Sorry I had a writer's block. Please have patience with me! Okay, usual dedications and now replies to my reviewers:
DelofDani: Kaytie is a teenager. I explained previously (I think) that Kaytie is now 14 years old.
Yojimbosblade: Yes, I'm going to have the Titans free Terra (I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT, TERRA BASHERS!) and BB marries her when they grow up. Robin (or Nightwing, I should say) marries Star, BB marries Terra, Merlina marries Aqualad, and Raven marries Daniel, leaving Cyborg a single parent. That a good explanation? :)
ACLDSMAB: I know they're short, but hey---writer's block.
CloudedDragon: To answer your question, please read DelofDani's dedication.
Finally, I dedicate this chapter (as usual) to my faithful sister (and biggest fan!) Caty, her in-laws Robert and Tia, her friend April, my adorably beautiful niece Emily, and my friends, muse of the stars, and Silvarius, the best co-authors an American girl could ask for. You ROCK!!! Enjoy!
Chapter 5: Fights and Games"Mumbo Jumbo!" Mumbo shouted his usual magic words as he once again poured money from the ATMs at the bank. Just then, a birdarang knocked his bag out of his hand and flew back to Robin, who caught it.
"Sorry, children", said Mumbo, "But my show's sold out for today!"
"And canceled!" Robin shouted, then "Titans, GO!" Of course, Shadowfire said it with him, being the leader of the new Titans. Mumbo knew he was in trouble then, and used his wand to conjure a magic carpet for a quick getaway.
"A magic carpet?" said Coral, "You're lamer than I thought." Coral then made sparkly magic in her hands and pulled the carpet back to them as Shadow blasted Mumbo with a starbolt, while Molly as a bird snatched up the moneybag. Unfortunately, Mumbo had been too quick for Shadow, and jumped onto a building and blasted red ribbons out of his wand at her, tying her up.
Star caught her up before she fell, though, and Sparrow flew up and released the ribbons around Shadow, chanting (you guessed it!) "Azerath, Metrion, Zinthos!" Shadow was then freed and the three girls flew off to stop Mumbo.
On the ground, Robin, Cyborg, Andy, and (though he could fly) Crow Boy chased Mumbo while Kaytie, Molly (again as a bird) and Taylor on a small cloud flew at second-story level. Starfire, Raven, Shadow, and Sparrow were flying ahead.
Suddenly, Mumbo disappeared into thin air. Everyone stopped. The new Titans all looked at Shadow while the current Titans looked at their own leader, Robin. Both were used to barking the first order, so Robin awkwardly said, "Fan out?" and Shadow agreed, "Schway!"
"Uh...'Schway'?" asked Cyborg.
"C'mon, pops", said Andy, "That's what we say in the future. Like you used to—er, like you say 'Boo-yah'!"
"Sounds good to me", said Cyborg, "Let's go!"
10 short minutes later, thirteen exhausted teenagers came home, ready to fall down after chasing Mumbo around.
"Whew!" exclaimed Coral, "Mumbo really gave us a workout!"
"He gave us a real run for our money, didn't he?" joked Molly. Everyone looked at her weird until Raven said, "Yep. She's definitely Beast Boy's." And everyone had a hearty laugh, sans Raven and Crow Boy.
"And Crow Boy's definitely Raven's," commented Merlina. Crow Boy blushed slightly (though no one saw under his hood). Presently, he smirked and said, "All the world truly is a stage."
"'And all the men and women merely players'", said Kaytie.
"And we all consider the pebble", said Molly, "Now let's try out this ancient Gamestation!" and headed for the couch.
"Ancient?" said Cyborg indignantly, "Girl, this thing's the latest in gaming technology!"
"Please" said Molly, "I could beat your sorry circuits with one hand tied behind my back!"
"I beg to differ, green girl" asked Cyborg.
"Oh, yeah?" challenged Molly, "Why don't you put your tofu where your mouth is?"
"No tofu goes down my throat in a million years, little girl!!!" shouted Cyborg, which was followed by a shocked gasp from the new Titans.
"Are you talking to me?" Molly asked Cyborg in a low, intimidating tone of voice.
"Uh-oh, he called her 'little girl'", said Coral.
"Are you talking to me?!" Molly asked again, nearly in Cyborg's face; Cyborg was starting to sweat.
"You shouldn't have done that", warned Taylor.
"Are you talking to me!!!!?" now she was in Cyborg's face!
Crow Boy chuckled and said, "Now you're in for it."
"They call me MISS LITTLE GIRL!!!" Molly shouted, her head enlarged with the funny anime effect. She then grabbed a game, slammed it in the console, and said, "NOW...IT'S ON, LITTLE MAN!!!!" Five minutes later, Cyborg learned the hard way never to call a girl "little girl", even if she was, as his bohuncus was totaled, his high score smashed, and his ego dented.
"Need another lesson, Tin Man?" asked Molly triumphantly. Cyborg, however, was stunned stiff—literally. His controller dropped from his hands as he sat in disbelief.
"Cyborg?" asked Starfire, "are you well?" She waved her hand in front of his face as everyone else laughed at him.
"He'll be fine, Star" said Robin, "He's just never been beaten by a girl before!"
Okay, so that's all I've got for now. (embarrassed chuckle) Keep the reviews coming, and I'll try to keep the chappies coming! I SHALL RETURN!!!
