The Next Morning:

"Beast Boy?" asked a voice. BB jumped.

"What?" he asked, looking around the hallway. Raven was standing against the wall.

"So, you're still yourself, right?" she asked.

"Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" BB asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Did you see what's going on in the kitchen?" Raven asked quietly, looking a bit disturbed. BB nodded.

"Yeah. Have you seen Star and Cyborg?" he asked. Raven shook her head.

"Maybe he got them," she said.

"Friends, why you whispering in the hallway?" Star asked from behind them.

"OK, so you're still sane. Good," Raven said.

"What's going on?" Cyborg asked, walking over to them. "It's six in the morning. Why are you all standing in the hall?"

"Did you and Star see what's going on in the kitchen?" BB asked. Cyborg and Starfire looked at each other and then shook their heads.

"OK, we have to show you, then," Raven muttered, motioning for them to follow her. The four of them journeyed to the kitchen.

"We should probably warn you in advance about-" BB began, but a voice interrupted him.

"Oh, hello!" the voice said. The person turned around. It was Robin. He was wearing a white lab coat and goggles over his mask. "You're just in time to help with the experiment!"

Four terrified faces met his greeting. Cyborg's eyebrow nearly floated above his head it was raised so high.

"Robin, what's going on?" he asked. Robin looked confused.

"Who's Robin?" he asked.

"You are, friend Robin," Starfire said.

"Me? No, I'm Bill. Bill Nye," Robin said, nodding swiftly with a knowing smile on his face.

"Bill Nye the Science Guy?" Cyborg asked, looking unsettled. Robin nodded happily.

"So you've heard of me!" he sang. "Great! So, who wants to help me with the experiment? I'm showing everybody how to make a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar!"

The other four just stared at him in concern.

"Come on, stop joking around Robin," Cyborg said. Robin looked confused. He ran over and grabbed Raven's arm, dragging her over to the table as the others watched in terror.

"Here, hold this beaker!" he said, shoving a glass full of vinegar into her hand. She just stood there, looking a bit overwhelmed. Robin poured several teaspoons of baking soda into the cup, and it foamed over. He clapped his hands. "And that's how it's done, kids!" he said as the mixture frothed over Raven's sleeve. She glared at him.

"Permission to hit him?" she asked. The other three nodded. She slapped Robin across the face, and he didn't even seem to notice, probably dreaming up the next experiment. "Snap out of it Boy Blunder!" she snarled. Robin danced across the kitchen to the fridge.

"Let's get ready to talk about protons and electrons!" he said. He grabbed a sandwich and ran over to Starfire. "Here, hold this!" he handed BB an apple. "OK, pretend the sandwich is a proton and the apple is an electron!" he said happily. "Now, I need to grab an orange for the nucleus!" he ran across the room. "Bill Bye the Science Guy," he said in the tune to the theme song. The other four stared at him in fear. Robin grabbed a block of tofu from the fridge and plopped it onto the floor. "Revolve around it!" he chirped, doing a little dance. "Oh yeah, we're learning science!"

The others just stood there.

"Come on, help me!" Robin said, throwing up his hands. "We need to teach the kids who're watching this some quality science information. OK, let's do a biology experiment! What's the difference between a heterotroph and an autotroph? Can anyone tell me!?"

"He's gone over the deep end," BB said, backing up a little.

"You're telling me," Raven said, backing up with him. "We need to get out of here."

"OK, everybody run on three," Cyborg said. "One, two, three!" they sprinted off in the opposite direction.

"Wait! I need help with the experiment!" Robin hollered.

They ran into the nearest room and slammed the door. They all stood there panting for a moment.

"OK, what I wanna know is what's going on. What's wrong with him?" BB asked, looking confused.

"You think maybe that tape wasn't a hoax?" Cyborg asked.

"No way. A tape did not do this," Raven said, shaking her head.

"Then what did?" Cyborg countered. "It's obvious that that's what it is. Subliminal messages affect people all the time."

"Beast Boy's tape has done this to Robin?" Star asked, looking horrified.

"It looks that way," Cyborg muttered. "Nice job BB, your tape turned Robin into a science freak."

"Then why didn't it affect the rest of us?" Raven asked.

"The guy at the store said it works according to mental state...." BB said.

"So Robin was crazy to begin with?" Cyborg asked, snickering.

"I still refuse to believe it was the tape. If it was, it probably would have happened last night," Raven said.

"Yeah, I gotta agree with Raven," BB said.

"Yeah, Robin's probably just screwing around," Cyborg said, shrugging. "He'll knock it off eventually, won't he?"

"So, Robin is not crazy?" Star asked, relieved.

"That remains to be seen," Raven said. BB chuckled.

"Maybe we should go back out there and check on him," he said. The other three nodded.

Back in the kitchen, they beheld the sight of Robin conducting another experiment.

"Come on Robin, knock it off," BB said.

"I told you before, I'm not Robin!" Robin said, setting his goggles down on the counter. "Don't you young people ever listen?" he ran across the room to grab something, and tripped on his boot. He fell and cracked his head on the floor. The others ran over to where he was lying.

"Out cold," Cyborg said, sounding somewhat relieved. They poked at Robin for a few minutes before dragging him to the couch.

"Let's just hope he's normal when he wakes up," BB said.
