Hey. I'm really tired right now because I just got back from my friend Rachel's B-Day Party. We were screaming and yelling, running and cart-wheeling, and light as a feathering and stiff as a boarding. It was fun. I wasn't able to spend the night though, because I have a baby-sitting class tomorrow. That has a good side and a downside for you and me. If you wanna know what those are, I'm too tired to care.
Disclaimer: Look. I'm an (almost) teenage girl! I was just at a party where everybody didn't know how to keep their mouths shut! Do you think someone as immature as me could seriously own Teen Titans?

Chapter 16: Not while I'm Alive
Last time: "You passed the test." Said Robin, a smile set on his face. He pulled a Titans communicator out of his pocket and held it out for Shadow to take. "It looks like you're part of the team now."
This time:
"Really?" Shadow asked completely amazed, tears of joy in her eyes.
Beastboy stepped up. "Well, yah," he said. "We didn't have you go through all those tests just to send you home!"
I really should say something, thought Cyborg. I just can't let her join up like this! As if on cue, Starfire, being the cocky person that she is, decided to make that possible.
"Glormak or Mosomit everyone!!" she shouted. Everyone was confused. They knew it must mean yay or neigh, but they didn't know what meant what.
Cyborg decided that it was now or never. He took a deep breath and stepped forward. "Which one means neigh?" He asked. Everyone was silent. The tears of joy in Shadow's eyes turned to tears of sorrow.
"What do you mean Cyborg?" Asked Robin. He didn't understand. "Don't you want Shadow to become part of our team?"
"Not while I'm alive." He said glaring at Shadow. As soon as their eyes met, he stopped glaring. He had realized what he had just done. He had broken the heart, and shattered the dream of an innocent girl. All Shadow wanted was to be part of their 'family'. Before he could say anything, Shadow turned and started walking for the door.
"Shadow? Where are you going?" asked Starfire. She wanted Shadow to stay.
Shadow stopped and turned back to the Teen Titans. "I know when I'm not wanted." She said looking sadly into Cyborg's eyes, "And I'm definitely not wanted here." She turned her back to them again. "Not anywhere." She then took off running. Out the door, and into the sky.

Look, I'm VERY sorry if this chapter is really short, but as I said in the head note above, I wrote this all in one night. Write now, I can barely talk, and not being able to talk makes me stressed, and when I'm stressed, I can't write anything structured for very long. So long! I'm off to bed! Not of my own free will of course. My mom and dad are making me. So, before I bid you adieu, I shall sing you a bed-time song. Sung to the tune of, "Go to sleep Little Baby"
Nightie Night!
Sleep real tight!
Please don't let the bed-bugs bite!
If they do, get a shoe,
And beat 'em till their balck and blue!
Nightie Night Everybody! I'm off to the wonderful land called sleep!
