Hello! This is chapter 5: Preparation. And just so you know, it has no redeeming value, so you have every right to ignore it. And thank you to all my reviewers, whose names not all known because I allow anonymous viewing!!!
Oh, and don't expect an update before next Friday… I have midterm exams next week. :P
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE TEEN TITANS.
Each Titan is doing what they can to prepare for Trigon's attack. Robin's in the training room, Starfire's is zooming around the city working on her reflexes, Cy is going through a systems update, Raven's meditating, and Beast Boy is… at the grocery store?
BB: (Thinking) Well, the second Raven told us about that whole attacking… uh… thing… I realized what I had to do. Buy garlic! I mean, dude, its perfect! All these evil psycho bad guys are afraid of garlic, like in that vampire movie! Wait till I tell Raven, she'll realize it's a perfect plan!!!
He grabs all the garlic at the store (20 pounds), and throws it in the cart.
BB: (Sniffs at the garlic) Phew! Dude, that reeks!
He walks to the cash register to pay. People wrinkle their noses, and run out of the store. He dumps the garlic on the checkout counter. The cashier looks thoroughly disgusted. Beast Boy pulls out a wad of cash, dumps it on the counter, and looks at the cashier.
BB: This enough?
She nods, just wishing he'd get out of the store. He puts the garlic back in the cart, and wheels it away.
Back at the (fresh-smelling) Titans Tower…
Robin is beating at the punching bag and talking to himself.
Robin: So one of our team mates is half-demon. What an interesting team we make. I'm the only one who's 100 human. There's a half-demon, a half-machine, a green kid with animal DNA, a gorgeous alien princess… did I just think that?!?!?! (Shakes his head to clear the thought) And what are we going to do with this demon problem? Rae can't even touch him!!!
He goes on plotting, but I'm bored with this. Let's check in on Star…
Somewhere in Jump City…
Starfire is zooming around, practicing avoiding stuff at top speed, and throwing star bolts. Unfortunately for her, she gets distracted by a squirrel in City Park…
Star: Hellow, little woodland friend. How are you tod-- (THUNK!!! She hits a tree, quite hard.) Workblet knut! That caused me pain! (She gets up, brushes herself off) I think I will return to my friends in our tower-shaped-as-the-letter-tee.
Back at the Tower:
BB: (Panting) Finally… got this cart… home…. I just gotta… get it upstairs… and show Raven!!! (Heads for elevator, which probably exists as I can't imagine walking up alllllll those stairs).
In Raven's room…
Raven: Azarath… metrion… zinthos… Azarath… metrion… zi- (She hears knocking, gets up.) If it's someone who's going to annoy me… (she doesn't finish, but we can guess what she would do)
She opens the door. And groans.
BB: (really really fast) Hey Rae look at this we can use all twenty pounds of this garlic to scare your dad off like they did in that vampire movie and then he can't bother us because we have garlic Raven why are your eyes shining red don't they usually – uh…oh…
Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire hear a really high-pitched scream coming from near Raven's room. They rush towards her room, and discover BB. He's been tied up, and his nose, mouth, and ears are stuffed with garlic. They untie him, remove the garlic (AN: That's GOT to hurt…) and cautiously knock on Raven's door.
Robin: Umm.. Raven? You… okay?
Raven opens the door, and leans against it, glaring.
Raven: Apparently I didn't explain well enough about this. My father is a thousand year old demon. Garlic (she glares at BB) is NOT going to work. ( She goes back in her room, and the door slams shut)
They all look at BB while the light bulbs above them explode.
BB: Uhhh… eh hehehehe…. Oops?
AAAAND that's all for today! Please review, I want at least 5 before I'll update! And that's a promise! And I'll take flames, but that doesn't mean I'll read them!!!
Talk to you all later, wish me luck with gulp midterms!
