Author's Note: Last Chapter of my First Fic. A historical moment. I don't have much to say except I am touched you people actually read this and that you actually review and that some of you actually thought I'm funny! So granola bars and Rolos for all of you!
Disclaimer: I own nothing. I do own the noisy parrot named Hazel behind me, the fat white cat dubbed Thomas Arthur beside me and my horrible case of the typos I have come down with.
Beast Boy's vision was slowly starting to grow dark around the edges as Cyborg finally did a doughnut and brought the car to a rough stop. Starfire jumped out quickly and started to drag both Robin and Beast Boy out of the car, they'd have a few bruises but that wasn't the important part.
Starfire grabbed Robin's hands way from the changeling's neck, twisting them a little harshly behind his back.
"Beast Boy," Raven muttered, kneeling down next to him and shaking him gently, that may not be the best way to go about it but she had just seen her friend attempt to kill her other friend while partially crazy. Now, that's never happened to me but trust me, if one of my friends showed up at school with a pouffy hairdo and started strangling my other friend while shrieking about hair gel I'd be freaked out too. And Raven was, or, as freaked out as Raven gets.
"Ugh... tofu," Beast Boy mumbled, blinking dazedly around
"Beast Boy!" Raven said again, only this time a mix of Raven-ish joy and 'if you do not get off your butt now you are so on your way to another dimension.'
Suddenly Beast Boy sat up, rubbing his neck,
"He.. he tried to kill me!" he gasped, staring at Robin, who had wrestled out of Starfire's grip and was now playing gleefully with a handful of pebbles on the sidewalk.
"What was that all about?" Raven asked, standing up and also looking at Robin, who giggled happily to himself, laying fully on his stomach with his cape spread out behind him
"I do not know, friend Raven," Starfire said quietly, confused
"We'll figure it out later y'all." Cyborg broke in, "I've got them on my tracker and we've wasted enough time."
"But, Dude, what about Robin?" Beast Boy asked, their leader had now abandoned his pebbles and was laying with his arms spread out in front of him, imitating Superman in flight
"I can transport him." Starfire offered, "Who that be suitable to your needs Robin?"
"Whoosh!" Robin said, cackling insanely to himself
"Let's just take that as a yes and go." Raven said, rising several feet off the ground
Cyborg shrugged, letting Beast Boy take him in areodactlye form.
"Mwuh?" Robin questioned
"Yes, let us go Robin..." Starfire said cheerfully, scooping him up as easily as the toddler he was behaving like.(A/N: In case you haven't figured it out, Robin's newest gel-less stage is supposed to be reflecting a time when he had no hair, in other words, a little kid.)
The Titans descended upon the pavement in front of a jewelry store. (A/N: Jewelry store, incredibly unoriginal I know, but give me a break.) The large display windows had been broken through and most of the place was in shambles. All the signs were there but one question was in each of the sane team members' mind, "Where in the world is the crazy 'Haha my plot has been successful, you dumb kids shall never defeat me!' villain thing?" He was usually standing in the middle of the rubble in all of his evil glory.
"Man, don't tell me we missed them!" Cyborg cried out in frustration
"Dude, it's only been like, ten minutes max." Beast Boy insisted
"Perhaps they have fled without taking anything?" inquired Starfire hopefully
"KA?" Robin wondered aloud
Raven gave him an uneasy look, "No, they're still here, I'm sure of it, I just don't-"
"Looking for me?" the typical, 'Haha I'm smart you're not, look at me I feel pretty' villain voice interrupted, definitely female though "I wouldn't pass this up for the world my dear Titans."
Beast Boy rolled his eyes "Dude, I've seen worse, a jewelry store theft is nothing!" he countered, while his eyes joined the other three pairs that were already searching for their hidden criminal.
"Oh no, that's not it at all," the unknown girl's voice continued, "See, I wanted to see if my.. theory, worked out as I believed it would. I see it has been quite a success."
"What do you mean?" Raven growled, her hands spread out ready to curse this fool as soon as he stopped rambling and showed his face
"Do you really think that Robin's... problem, is a coincidence?" the voice drawled on,
"He has no problem!" Starfire protested, feeling that this individual was relying on Robin's situation for his victory, "He is perfectly well!"
"Pweftly well!" Robin yelled in a sloppy, muffled repetion, the leader of the titans was sitting on his heels, rocking back and forth with his cape flipped over his head, explaining the muffled sound of his voice. A small wet spot had formed over the place where his mouth was.
The speaker chuckled slightly, "Yeah, sure, you keep telling yourself that carrot top, and we'll see how far that gets your leader, I'd say he only has a few more minutes as it is."
"Has a few more minutes?" Raven growled, her voice dangerously low and her eyes glowing beneath the shadow of her hood.
"See, my dear Titans, I have been studying Robin here. I realized that his weaknesses are not all that obvious, or great. Except for the least likely one. His appearance. Robin is the one with hordes of rabid fan girls is he not? (here Beast Boy pouted slightly) So what if his perfect hair was taken from him?" the villain spoke with the air of a fox who had gotten into a henhouse and locked the door.
Cyborg's eyes widened as he gasped,
"You! You've been planning this, I should've realized, they were out of hair gel when Robin asked me to pick up some. They said someone had stolen their entire stock.."
"Very good, the toolbox has some logic." their enemy chuckled softly, in a very annoying way really, "Now, if you'll excuse me,"
"Wait! this isn't over!" Beast Boy yelled
Now the speaker laughed out loud,
"I haven't even started with the rest of you, dear Titans, and if you don't hurry, it will be over for your leader. Just remember me, your Dearest."
"Hold on! What is-" Cyborg started to say but stopped, whoever had been there, their presence was gone and the titans were alone
"What did she mean when she said-" Starfire started to ask but was cut off by a raspy breathing noise behind her. Gasping, she turned quickly to see Robin shaking his head and struggling to his feet.
"Robin! You are not out of your mind!" Starfire cried, rushing forward to hug him but he turned away this once, anger in his eyes.
"Where did she go?" he asked, his voice tense with rage
"The thief? Um, I don't know man, we never really saw her..." Cyborg informed him, a little shocked to see Robin come around so easily
"She called herself Dearest," Raven stated slowly, still glaring up at the rooftops in hopes of seeing anything
"She thought that taking my hair from me would break me, that's what she meant by all that 'your leader not having time' stuff, she thought I would go insane to the point my brain couldn't take it." now he smiled grimly, "She was wrong, as soon as I realized this happened because it was planned, I snapped out of it, now I'm scared, this was too easy for who ever was out to get me."
"We'll be more careful next time, dude, and we'll find her." Beast Boy insisted
"But what if it had been one of you?" Robin asked, "It might not have worked out so well, I have this idea-"
"Stop, friend Robin," Starfire said, "We know about this now, we will find this Dearest and stop her, but you need to rest," she wrinkled her nose, "And style your locks, they are at the moment very.. uncool."
"But, we can;t leave, we don't just give up." Beast Boy whined,
Raven looked around, "It's not giving up, and the police are already here, we could let them feel useful and handle it this once."
Back at the Tower
"You guys really did that to my hair?!" Robin asked, his eyes wide
"Yep, you should've seen your face." Cyborg laughed, downing another slice of pizza
They had just told Robin all that had happened to him when he was insane, since he had no recollection of any of it, that may even be a good thing.
"And, Beast Boy, I"m sorry about trying to kill you." Robin said softly
"Dude, forget about it, I'm alive and you're normal again." Beast Boy replied, grinning casually
"Yes, I am very glad we have our friend back." Starfire piped up, brushing a hand over Robin's spiked up hair (A/N: (jealousness))
"Hey guys, I'm gonna get some more tofu," Beast Boy announced, striding past Raven, who had a book, of course, into the kitchen.
"Tofu, tofu, lovely lovely tofu," he sang to himself, searching through the fridge before he realized.
They were totally, completely, utterly, out of tofu.
And we're done! What did y'all think? If you hated the ending I'm sorry but I've got an idea for a sequel, and we can;t have Robbie dying. Dearest is actually my friend CenizaDearest. She says I'm obsessed with Teen Titans. I say "What's your point?" Anyway, I promised some responses to a handful of reviews...
Emmery: Lol, absolutely nothing is wrong with being in love with a cartoon character, especially not Robin! I will personally spread Starfire's gross slime on whoever disagrees!
Nevermore Forevermore Titan: Cool name... (wide eyes) That's a little scary... well, I updated to the end, see? See?!
Candyclouds711: Ha! but it is possible my friend. Robbie has been shipped back though in his padded crate, no harm done.
starrboin4eva: Cause Robin;s hair is just too... volumous and spiky for water. And then where would my story be? Yes, he suffered, but it was fun suffering.
CenizaDearest: A bit too enthusiastic there, Ceniza....
DarkDreams983: Wow, you really liked it! And you reviewed more than once!
strawberriesandcream: O.O Wow, you really like the idea of Robbie bald don't you?
