Thanks for the reviews guys, they mean a lot to me. Thanks to my special reviewers this chapter: Antimatter Manticore, Darkness-Aura, and ShadowCatMage13. I'm so glad you all find my work entertaining; I try really hard. J/k, it comes from my natural want to please. I also want to apologize from my extended delay. I have been really busy.
Now on to the story!!

PRANK WARS
Chapter Four: The Caramel and Syrup Blasters of Doom
As soon as she had departed from the room, Cyborg and Robin turned toward one another.
"Are you thinking what I am thinking?" Robin asked.
"Yep, we're gonna have to get that little elf to apologize." Cyborg answered.
"But how?"
"Robin!!" Starfire called approaching him, "Do you wish to have some frosting as well?" she asked offering him the tube.
"No thanks Star, Cyborg and I have something important to do, ok?"
She nodded her understanding and proceeded to squirt the frosting into her palm and eat it. Robin and Cyborg just shook their heads. She could be such a character sometimes.
Later that day…
Geez, why'd Terra have to take that joke so hard? Beast Boy found himself thinking as he desperately trying to pull into the lead on his racing game. It was to no avail, it couldn't stop thinking about Terra. She was probably upstairs at this moment pouting and complaining about all that syrup and stuff… Damn it was getting too hard to concentrate on the game… He quit. There was no use trying to beat something he couldn't concentrate on. Risingfrom his chair, he noticed Raven sitting in her normal chair reading her Thick-a-saurus-size book. But she was the only one he saw. Where were the others? Normally it was so noisy that even he couldn't stand it let aloneRaven, "Hey Raven, where is everybody?" Beast Boy asked in his normal quizzical manner, it was just too hard to look for himself.
Silence…
"Earth to Raven! Hello someone just asked you a question!"
Raven cracked an eye up from her book, a pressure-point forming, "WHY DON'T YOU LOOK FOR THEM YOURSELF!?" she yelled, her head turning large and the force of the yell nearly blowing Beast Boy away.
"Geez, you didn't have to yell so loud!" he groaned rubbing his ears.
"Besides in case you haven't noticed, I AM NOT talking to you because of this morning." She finished by slamming her book shut and stomping out of the room.
Beast Boy sat with a confused look on his face, but then cracked one of his devious grins, "Oh I get it Raven! You're just trying to confuse me, so I won't be ready when you do decide to attack!! OH BUT I'LL BE READY JUST YOU SEE!!" he continued to yell triumphantly until he heard an exasperated yell and a slamming door.
Beast Boy just sat on the ground and giggled manically. He had a perfect prank set up as a retaliation force JUST in case Raven DID have something planned. After having a good long laugh, he decided to roam around until he did find someone to bug—uh—converse with, ahem… (No I'm not bashing Beast Boy.) Beast Boy had walked all over the tower not really understanding why it seemed so empty or why there wasn't much going on. He had checked everyone's rooms. so that left the outside, but first, a quick bathroom break.
He opened the door slowly hoping it wasn't booby-trapped. Nothing happening as it creaked open, but he did see one thing he shouldn't have! Terra was asleep, soaking in the tub. Luckily enough, he couldn't see anything or else he knew he'd never be able to face her again. His first reaction was to scream in shock, but he restrained himself and backed out of the room slowly. The door creaking eerily as he shut it on his departure.
Perfect... the not-so-sleeping Terra thought as he had left, He's going to walk right into my trap…
Beast Boy wandered outdoors into the beautifully sunlit day with the sky as blue as ever. He watched the clouds somewhat dreamily; they were so beautiful to him. He soon found Starfire near the base of the tower futilely trying to build a garden. He snickered a bit as he walk over to her, "Hey Star, whatcha doin'?"
Starfire growled in frustration, " I am trying to make a garden but it is not working! I have planted the seeds, and have watered them but they just do not seem to want to grow!!"
"Uh Starfire, gardens aren't instantly grown you know?" Robin answered as he walked around the corner of the tower. (Isn't it funny how he always seems to pop up at the exact right moment to answer Starfire's questions? Oh, and he says 'Um' a lot. )
"Oh Robin!" Starfire cried happily, grabbing him up in a death-hug and then proceeding to drag him to her poorly made garden, "Please assist me in the making of this garden!"
"You know I—" Beast Boy stopped mid-sentence, they looked like they were going to have a lot of fun. He departed without another word. Starfire paid no heed to his leaving, but a certain almost-bat boy did. He held his communicator up and softly whispered, "Get ready, he's headed your way."
"Right." Was the only answer he received as the communicator clicked off.
Beast Boy dragged himself onward; this was no fun; playing video games by yourself, Bugging Raven and having your head bitten off, and not getting to help Starfire with something. Oh and not to mention almost seeing Terra in a way he really didn't want to see at this time. This was just one of those suck-ass days that just wouldn't quit. (Pardon my language that was the only way I could think of putting it.)
Beast Boy then soon found himself in Cyborg's garage, he was working on some kind of project. He looked up from his work, "Hey BB, what up?" he asked casually, continuing to tinker with his project.
"Not much, just everyone's off doing their own thing and I have nothing to do…"
"Oh, well I'm just working on this little project of mine. Just blowing time."
Beast Boy glanced around, sure everything looked fine but there was something that was bugging him. He had called a Prank War and paranoia was beginning to catch up with him.
"Oh yeah, Beast Boy," Cyborg suddenly piped up, "Robin and I decided to put together a little present for you. And the others of course."
"Really," Beast Boy asked his eyes lighting up with curiosity, "what is it?"
"Oh nothing really, just this…" Cyborg answered quite bluntly, pulling out what appeared to be a super water gun with a huge tank of goodness knows what.
Beast Boy gasped heavily as he watched two other figures appear behind him holding the same kind of weapon. He could tell because of the magnificent gleam it was giving off, "Oh I knew something like this would happen next! Terra, I KNOW you're the one behind this so just show yourself! And what's in your water guns this time? Huh? Mint frosting!!"
"No BB, actually it's an extra sticky hybrid of caramel and syrup mixed with another ingredient you might recognize in a moment." Cyborg answered with a bit of a chuckle.
Beast Boy just looked on in horror, what could that ingredient be? And who else was behind Cyborg? He knew one of them was Terra, it had to be…but who else could be holding a grudge?
Ta-da!! It's finished! Chapter four anyway… So we all know Cyborg is on the action but who are the two other figures behind him? Is it Robin and Raven? Robin and Starfire? Robin and Terra? Or how about Raven and Starfire? Or Raven and Terra? Or how about the possibility of Starfire and Terra? Plus what's the extra ingredient in the water guns? Find out in the next chapter of PRANK WARS!! I want three reviews please! And it would be nice to hear others thoughts on the situation, I'm trying to make this a real Author-Reviewer Interactive Story, so it would mean a lot to me if you would answer these questions. Thanks.
P.S. I WILL NOT, I REPEAT, I WILL NOT be using water guns for each prank. So just hold tight while I kick it into high gear and get to the really juicy prank parts. And I know this chapter was just pure nothingness but it was essential to get the story rolling.
P.S.S. I have recently seen the "Terra" episode. Loved it. Just plain loved it. The music was awesome, the way Terra tricked the scorpion was totally cool, and overall it was just plain cute. Like the scene with the tub, and the food ("Tastes like Sushi and...Ice Cream.), not to mention the clothes washing scene, and of course when she finally decides to go to sleep; it looks as though she is going to sleep really contained and pretty, only for her to end up spreading out and snoring!! XD I was laughing hysterically when that came on. Man how could I forget!! The whole scene where Terra loses control of her powers after talking to Slade, and Beast Boy rushes in to save her, telling her that he's here and that she'll be ok. That was really sweet. J It definitely shows Beast Boy's more caring and softer side. You have to get warm feelings during that scene or else you just can call yourself human.
And see this is what I can't understand: Why do people hate Terra so much?! I mean gosh, show some compassion people. Terra and Slade did a little more than just "talk", he was flat out threatening her!! Oh and I am most suredly with the Beast Boy/Terra coupling group. Although it seems that Raven and Beast Boy fit together better as a couple that's probably because they are such good foils to one another.(If you don't know what a foil is, I'll explain in at the bottom.) I myself honestly thought for the longest time that BB/Rae was the couple that was going to work, and BB/Ter was just going to end up being the friendship deal. But hey things change, I relized that most of the things Beast Boy did to Raven were only acts of FRIENDSHIP.
Also, if you ask me, Terra is confused and was tricked into believing that the only way that she could control her powers was to join Slade. She may be evil at the moment, but really I think once she overcomes her confusion that she'll be ok with the team. One last thing, I do have part of the answer as to why so many "hate" Terra. More than likely the reason that most hate Terra is because of the fact that she is the Newbie and you know how school children are about picking on the new student. They can't just accept the fact that someone else wants to join the show. But I'm perfectly fine with them adding new characters as long as they don't put like a million new people on the show or take anyone off, because the rumor has it that if Teen Titans goes into a fifth season, that they may remove a few characters and add some person named Bumblebee.
Whatever, thanks for listening to my long after-post those of you still reading.
FOIL- one character that is in strong contrast to another character
EX- Raven and Beast Boy; Raven is strongly reserved doesn't do 'funny' as she puts it, but Beast Boy is very open and funny. They are exact opposites and that's what makes them foils to one another. But, Raven is more of a foil to Beast Boy that Beast Boy is to her. Whoever has the stronger effect as a character gets the title of who's the foil to who. Meaning that because Raven is such a deep character because of her emotional differences as opposed to Beast Boy of who has few issues with his emotions she has a stronger effect on the audience. Think about it, anyone could relate to Beast Boy because most of us are pretty open, but with Raven, you have to pick up a different view on what it would be like to control your emotions or hurt someone or yourself. See the effect? Other examples, the stronger foil character in front, would be Starfire/Raven, Starfire/Robin, Beast Boy/Robin, Cyborg/Raven, and Raven/Terra. (There are others but you get the idea.)
