"Wwwaaahhh!"
Here we go again. After a few hours of silence during the afternoon, the little baby Robin was back with his crying. Beastboy and Cyborg stopped at what they were eating before to the crying Robin, who was sitting in Starfire's lap.
"What does he want now!?" Beastboy asked, shouting over the wails while clamping his hands over his ears.
"Maybe he's hungry!" Cyborg shouted back. "Robin didn't have time to eat lunch anyway because of Gizmo! And now its dinner time!"
"Well what are we going to feed him with!?"
"I know!" Cyborg broke off a piece of his barbecued ribs and held it in front of the wailing leader of the Titans. Robin stopped, stared at the rib, and then went back to his wails.
"Dude are you nuts!?" asked Beastboy. "That thing is twice as big as he is! He can't eat that! That won't even fit in his mouth!"
"Well what do you suggest Einstein!?"
"Tofu!" Breaking off a small piece of his tofu, it was Beastboy's turn to hold a piece of his tofu in front of Robin. But it was the same as last time. Robin stared at the tofu, then went back to crying.
"What are you two thinking!?" asked Raven. "He can't eat that! He doesn't even have teeth!"
"Oh," both Cyborg and Beastboy said at the same time, looking down at Robin's open mouth to find that, indeed, he doesn't have teeth now that he shrunk.
"Well that makes a lot of sense now," said Cyborg.
Beastboy nodded in agreement before asking, "What do babies eat anyway?"
Cyborg shrugged.
Raven sighed in irritation. 'I'm surrounded by idiots,' she thought to herself. Looking up, she saw that Starfire was trying to feed Robin mustard. Shaking her head, Raven stood up from the table and went to the several cabinets lining the wall. Opening one, Raven pulled out a bottle from the cabinet (Don't know how that ended up in there, lol). Going to the fridge, she pulled out a carton of milk and quickly filled the bottle with the liquid.
Now making her way to Starfire, Raven pulled the bottle of mustard from the Tamaranian's hand and gave her the bottle of milk. "Use that," she said before plopping down back in her seat to finish her dinner.
"Thank you Raven!" thanked Starfire. She held the bottle of milk in front of Robin's face. Immediately stopping his wails, Robin stared at the bottle of the white liquid. Then smiling happily, he opened his mouth so Starfire could put the nipple of the bottle into his mouth. Robin remained silent and sucked on the bottle.
The changeling, hybrid, and Tamaranian stared at the now silent baby. Then they stared at Raven, who continued to eat as if nothing happened.
"How come it's the girls that get all the smarts?" Beastboy asked his titanium friend.
Cyborg replied by shrugging again.

"Jinx what's taking so long!?" whined Gizmo, sitting in front of the changing room and looking very bored. It was easy to tell who had decided to go off shopping to get some new clothes. And poor Gizmo was dragged into the whole thing, following Jinx to every clothing store.
The super genius ran the events over his head. Jinx would go to a store, pick out some clothes, go into a room to change in, only to come out and put the clothing back. The midget's small legs weren't used to all this waking around (He was figuring that it wouldn't take so long as it was now). If Gizmo was able to, he would've used his trusty pack to make his mechanical spider legs appear or at least his wings. But again he figured that all this running around wasn't going to take so long, so he left his pack back at their hideout.
Gizmo now wished that his other fellow graduate, Mammoth, was here. The big hairy member of their team wouldn't have any problems with all this running around. But alas, Mammoth had been busted by the Teen Titans and sent to jail when it was his turn to get some money. Gizmo was planning to break his friend out of jail one day though. Especially since Mammoth could carry the heavy shopping bags that Gizmo had to carry, which were filled with the clothing Jinx decided to buy.
Taking a glance at the bags, the genius was actually having a hard time figuring out why the female species of humanity would even want to buy this much stuff (Hey I'm having trouble finding that out too, lol). And the boundless energy they had while shopping was unheard of. For once, the midget was confused. Maybe it was just something girls do to spend money when they have nothing else for it?
Gizmo shook his head. It was all very confusing.
He was suddenly knocked out of his thoughts when he felt a bag land on his head. Surprised, Gizmo rubbed his bald head. He looked to see what was thrown at him, and found it was just another bag of clothes.
"Are we done yet?" he asked, seeing Jinx.
"Not yet," replied the sorceress, smiling at the exhausted genius. "Now we got to get you some new clothes."
Gizmo groaned. He was just thankful the day was almost over. But the ideas of what'll happen tomorrow were already haunting his thoughts.

"Where's he going to sleep?" asked Beastboy, who was playing a quick Halo game with Cyborg, wanting to beat his friend in that game and that the author is still obsessed with the best first person shooter of all.....that is until Halo 2 comes out.
"Not in my room," replied Cyborg, ducking as a sniper rifle round flew over his head from Beastboy. "I'm afraid of what he'll do to my circuits while I'm sleeping."
"Well he's not sleeping in my room." Beastboy swapped his now empty sniper rifle for an assault rifle that was lying on the ground before continuing. "He's not going to drool on my hair again."
"And I don't think Raven's room is a.....baby room if you know what I mean." Cyborg pulled out his own assault rifle before him and Beastboy started shooting several rounds at each other, ducking behind boulders and hills to reload before popping out and firing again.
"I wouldn't let you put him in my room anyway," said Raven, who was once again reading another horror novel.
"Well that leaves Starfire. Yeah her room is perf-AH!"
While he was talking, Beastboy ended up being blown up in the game. When he had gotten close, Cyborg had pulled out a rocket launcher and blew him up, making Cyborg the winner.
"Woohoo! I beat ya BB!"
"That rocket launcher is so cheap! Without it I bet you would lose!"
"Don't be sad because I beat you BB."
"I would not mind putting Robin in my room," said Starfire, breaking the argument that Beastboy and Cyborg had. Robin had been sitting on her lap the whole time, and had been watching the game Beastboy and Cyborg had been playing, giggling the whole time when either one of them were killed by the other.
"Well that's settled," said Beastboy. Then turning to Cyborg he said, "I want a rematch right now!"
"No way BB," replied Cyborg, standing up. "I'm going to bed."
Beastboy cursed, but otherwise followed the hybrid out of the main room.
And that's how the Tamaranian had gotten to where she was now.
A certain baby's cries caused Starfire to open her eyes, awakening her from her sleep. Rubbing her tired eyes, she sat up in bed, her green eyes landing on a crib not too far away from her bed. Though it wasn't a very.....properly built crib. But what did you expect on such a short notice?
Pushing the blankets off of her pink nightdress clad body, the beautiful red haired alien stood up from her bed before moving to the crib. Lying on the crib, also awake, the miniature boy wonder was now crying. His tiny hands were balled into fists and he waved them around as he continued to wail, tears running down his face.
"What troubles you Robin?" Starfire asked. She scooped up the baby in her arms. Immediately, Robin halted his cries, though a few tears continued to escape from his blue eyes.
Starfire cocked her head at him. She had never known what color eyes the leader of the Titans had, having hidden them behind that mask of his. But now, Starfire's green eyes were locked with his blue ones. Cradling Robin in her arms, she sat down on her bed. She rocked the little baby in her arms, something she had seen from one of the movies she had watched before.
Robin's eyelids started to droop, the sandman having arrived to finish the job he had started. He let his head rest against Starfire's chest, his hands clutching to pieces of her nightdress, not wanting the one he liked to leave him.
It was pretty ironic actually.
Robin was the one that took care of the alien girl. When she had first came to Earth, she was alone, curious, and a little afraid of her new surroundings. It was Robin who had helped her out, helping her understand the customs of the planet. Even though Earth wasn't like Tamaran, it was starting to feel like a second home to Starfire. And the Titans were starting to feel like a second family to her.
And now it was Starfire that was taking care of Robin.
Starfire looked down at Robin again, who had finally fallen asleep and had his head against her chest. She would be lying if she had said she hadn't become attached to Robin. In truth, however, she had become quite attached to the boy wonder. He had, like before, really had taken care of her and helped her understand Earth. Despite how annoying it might be that Starfire asked so many questions and misunderstood many things about the customs of Earth, Robin answered her questions and helped her understand, almost as if he wanted to do nothing but help the Tamaranian. And, like Starfire getting attached to Robin, he had gotten attached to the alien girl as well.
They both liked each other like best friends. But.....maybe there was a chance that they could become more then best friends. There were signs of that. The jealousy Starfire had when her sister, Blackfire, had always been dragging Robin away was one bit of evidence. But the pure evidence was during the whole Kitten episode, where Starfire revealed a side of herself no one ever thought possible was part of the kind, innocent, pure hearted girl. Yes, love can do strange things to someone.
It was at this time did Starfire's eyelids started to droop as well, having become the target of the sandman who was now sprinkling sand over her eyes. She planted a light kiss on the sleeping Robin's forehead before lying down on her bed, sleeping with the baby Robin still held in her arms, who was now sleeping peacefully thanks to the warm presence of the Tamaranian to block the nightmares.

"Freedom!" Gizmo cried out, collapsing onto his bed. He had never felt so tired in his life. Not even fighting the Teen Titans could drain him as walking around to so many clothing stores with Jinx had been. And considering the genius didn't exactly get a lot of exercise, it would be no surprise that his legs would still not fully recover even after the nice rest he was hoping to get.
"It wasn't that bad Gizmo," Jinx chided, not able to help but giggle at her fellow graduate's exhaustion.
"Wasn't that bad!? Are you kidding me!?"
Jinx only laughed, finding Gizmo's outburst to be hilarious. "Not my fault that you don't get out much."
"How can you have this much energy? It isn't scientifically possible!"
"Not all things have to be "scientifically possible" my short little friend."
"I am not short," grumbled Gizmo. "I am just.....vertically challenged! Yeah that's it! One day I'll have a growth spurt and you'll be the short one!"
Jinx only laughed again. She could always count on Gizmo to give her a good laugh. But even with all her cheeriness at the moment, the sandman had decided to come for the HIVE members and had already started sprinkling his magic sand over the lids of the sorceress. Jinx raised a hand to her mouth, trying to hide a yawn. She plopped down next to Gizmo on the bed, a tired smile on her face.
"I have to admit though, it was fun," she said. "To actually get out of this dump and go somewhere to actually buy something without stealing anything."
"Easy for you to say Jinx, you weren't the one carrying all those bags. And we used STOLEN money to pay for the clothes."
"Still bought them."
"But we still used stolen money to buy them. So in a way, we're still kind of stealing the clothes."
Jinx rolled her eyes. It figures that the goggle head would always like to argue with her in these arguments. She suddenly yawned. And then, very out of character of her, she wrapped one arm around Gizmo's short form.
"J-Jinx?" Gizmo asked, suddenly blushing at the action and how Jinx scooted closer to him.
"We can go to a restaurant another day," the sorceress said, yawning as she closed her eyes. "But right now, sleep would be good."
Gizmo could only nod, having no idea what to say. When he heard Jinx suddenly take deep slow breaths, could he guess that she had now just fallen asleep. Shrugging his shoulders, Gizmo wrapped one of his own arms around Jinx and soon joined her in dreamland as the sandman finished his work.
And then the sandman disappeared, searching for other youngsters that needed his bag of sand to sleep.

Author's Note: Wow, this was a strange chapter. Lol, I actually got the whole Jinx/Gizmo idea from someone who had written a oneshot of Jinx and Gizmo. Can't remember who it was though. Oh well. Sure the two HIVE graduates are a bit.....out of character, but I hope you can overlook that. And don't worry, the humor will be back. Considering that in the next chapter, Starfire and Raven are going to go to the store to get some baby stuff, leaving Cyborg and Beastboy to take care of the baby Robin. How funny that's going to be.
