Here it is, the last chapter of Friends, just waiting to be read. Darn, I can't believe it's all over. Catch me in my next story called "Tales of the Closet". By the way, CrazyDeafGirl, the Ghost agent's I've been talking about are from StarCraft, I'm a SC addict and wanted to add them to my story for a long time now
One last thing: SOG means Scene Announcer Guy
Chapter 11: Outtakes.
Day 1: Shooting starts
The T-car screeched to a halt in front of the "Fish Bait studios" building. It was a large, black building with red stripes. The Titans came out and whistled in amazement
"Whoa" said Beast Boy; he couldn't remove his eyes from the black building, shining erringly because of the sun rays bouncing off the black paint.
"Big whoop" muttered Raven "a big building…I'm so excited"
"Cut it out Rae" shot the changeling "I'm just a bit surprised"
"Yeah" interfered Robin "we got invited to cast in a movie made about us and we're all a little psyched up, cut us some slack woncha?"
"Fine" she let out a loud sigh "I just hope they got a trailer for me to be ALONE in"
They got into the studio and saw a large set, like a miniature Jump city with a few important locations: the Titans tower's war-room/living room, Bernie's pizza place and a few sections of downtown Jump city. Raven's eyes searched the room, something was bothering her, a presence that shouldn't have been in the room was there and Raven could feel it.
"Terra!" squealed the green shape shifter and charged towards a figure sipping a dark liquid out of a plastic cup. Terra barely managed to place her cup down and was swallowed by a massive bear hug. A million questions raced through Raven's mind, starting from "how is she back?" and ending at "I wonder who got the better trailer, I'll bet she did, she's more cute than I am". After Terra pushed Beast Boy off, she noticed that Raven approached her and turned towards her
"Terra" said Raven
"Raven" replied the earth shaker dryly
"Trai…I mean…good to see you Terra" said Raven in a somewhat submissive tone
"Good to see you to, so tell me, are we okay about that whole factory incident? I mean, I didn't mean to-" tried Terra
"It's…okay" said Raven, her blood boiling in her veins "You just caught me off guard, that's all"
Robin walked to get himself a cup of Joe, after all, it was 7 in the morning and he just woke up, in his disorientation, he bumped into someone standing in front of him at the coffee line
"Oh I'm sorr…" he started when he saw Slade's chrome mask turning towards him.
"You!" he screamed and prepared himself for combat. Slade reached his open hand towards the Boy Wonder and said "Truce?"
"Truce" replied Robin while shaking Slade's hand
"What did I miss?" asked Red-X while appearing out of a black blur. He was already holding a large cup of coffee in one hand and a bag of donuts on the other, though they couldn't see his face, it was clear that he was chewing. He approached Raven and with his mouth half filled with donuts asked "mmm….want some?"
"Sweets!" her eyes lit up and she grabbed a couple of them "I mean…um…thanks" she covered her head with the hood, trying to hide the red which was creeping up her cheeks and slowly started chewing.
"Late! You're all late!" came a tiny French voice
"Late? You just got here!" claimed Robin
"Yeah French dude, bird boy's right" said Raven with her mouth full. All the Titans looked at her with surprise and Slade was so shocked he dropped his cup of coffee on his right pant "Darn in!" he yelled, took a paper towel out of one of his belt's pockets and started wiping his pants. Raven stared into space, eyes wide open; she then looked at the half eaten donut in her hand and threw it away
"You should've been here one hour early so I can be fashionably late!" screamed the tiny French director, all the people present stared with confusion as the tiny man stomped on his feet with anger, pouting.
"Don't worry" explained one of the cameramen "He's a little…" she spun his index finger near his ear, making "KOO-KOO, KOO-KOO" noises
Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg chuckled
"That explains a lot" said the mechanical man
The director walked and handed each of the Titans, Red-X, Slade, Terra, Gizmo, Jinx, Mammoth and the Ghost agents, who just reached the set riding on their bikes, a rather large pile of papers
"What are those?" asked one of the agents
"Isn't it obvious? There are your scripts you…you…how do you say….stupeed" mocked the director in his French accent
"I'll show you stupid you little…" said the covert operative while drawing his gun. The other two agents grabbed his arms and forced him to retrieve his weapon
"Scripts?" wondered Raven "I thought this was supposed to be a documentary"
"A documentary…" mocked the director "There will be no documentaries on the set of Jacque la Persi!" he declared "You have one uh…hour to read your scripts and then return to the set for the first scene, now go! Shoo, shoo. Go, how you say…away"
One hour later, all of the actors reported to the set, waiting for the director to show up. Robin was wearing blue jeans and a brown tight T-shirt, his hair spiked as usual. Beast Boy was wearing black jeans, a white shirt and a leather jacket, his hair was a combination of spikes and straight, just a plain hair gel mess, Starfire wore her usual outfit but had a necklace with a large jewel on it. Cyborg wore a black T-shirt, grey pants and red sunglasses and Raven wore a pair of short, very short jeans pants and a black shirt which showed her belly with "You want a piece of this boy?" written in white letters on the chest portion of the shirt. The Titans gazed at her and in response she sighed heavily and said "I know, I know, that sugar overdose wasn't cleared out of my system when I picked an outfit. Um…Beast Boy? You're drooling"
The director showed up and started screaming orders at the prop men. After a few minutes, the first scene was ready
SAG: "Mail scene, take one, AAAAAAAND action!"
Starfire came flying into the room "We have received postal letters from the deliveryman!" she said with clear joy and flew blissfully across the fake Titans' room, landing at Raven's side which triggered a small needle to stick in the Goth's back, she jumped in surprise causing a vase to explode
"Thanks for the…the…the…" Raven snapped her fingers and smacked her forehead "I forgot the stupid line!" she cried
"CUT!" screamed the director
"No biggie Raven, we'll just-" tried Terra
"No biggie?! No biggie?!" screamed the tiny French man "You better do it good this time you, or I'll-"
"Or you'll WHAT?" shot the half-demon, her eyes glowing red
"Dude, Raven, chill!" said Beast Boy, he grabbed both her arms and pulled her away "We'll just do another take, right?" he glared at the director
SAG: "Mail scene, take two, AAAAAAND action!"
This time they did it right and the prop men removed the set and put a new one, featuring the staircase and the large sofa.
SAG: "Chase scene, part one, AAAAAND action!"
"Anything for me? Huh? Huh? Huh?" said Beast Boy, he tried to jump over the sofa, but slipped and fell over his face
"CUT!" yelled the director "You…green boy, are you not capable of doing nothing right?"
"You should thank him" said Robin "A few seconds ago he saved you from Raven's wrath, which is something most of us wouldn't do at this moment" he stared at him with an angry look
"Take two!" announced the SAG
"Anything for me? Huh? Huh? Huh?" said the changeling, this time he had more momentum, but he slipped again
"Raven, Watch out!" screamed Starfire, but it was too late, Raven turned around in time to catch Beast Boy, but slipped and fell on her butt, Beast Boy in her arms
"Well…this is kinda awkward" she said, this time she didn't have her cloak to hide her blush, her face turned red
"Well I think it's pretty good" teased the shape shifter, wiggling his eyebrows up and down, making the demon-girl to blush even further, to complete his stunt, he pecked her cheek, blushed and got up.
SAG: "Bed scene, take one, AAAAND action!"
Starfire was in her bed and Raven did her doorstep monologue
"Que the breeze" said the director, a silent burst of wind entered Starfire's room, but she didn't get up
"What's wrong now?!" muttered the director. Robin got into the set and slightly nudged the sleeping Tamaranian
"She's really asleep" announced Robin. The alien girl got up, stretched her arms and yawned
"Forgive me friends, I have been most tired and couldn't help sleeping in this bed of tenderness" she said in a tired voice, her eyes still half closed
they did one more take and got it correctly
"And that's a wrap on the first day of the filming" announced the director "Now off to bed! Young actors need their beauty sleep, especially you" he looked at Raven, whose body was surrounded by black flames (A/N: like in the episode where she switched bodies with Star)
End of day one
Okay, so this chappie is just my desperate need to keep "Friends" going, but really, I ran out of ideas and need time to think. I'll post "Tales of the Closet" somewhere around this week and keep "Friends" updated until you, my readers or me, will get sick of it, whichever comes first. Anyway, like I always ask
Review, Review, Review!
Chao!
