A/N: Hello everyone! I would just like to thank everyone for the many Reviews that I got on the short time this fic was posted! I shall respond to them now!
To disappearer: I freaked you out? Really? Oh well! I'm glad you think it's hilarious!
To YRProcks66: Uh, you get . . . you get . . . a . . . cookie! hands you a cookie I don't know if what happens to Beast Boy you would call terrible, but I will ensure you, it's insane. You get to find out this chapter!
To Catspee: I'm happy you had laughs! Your pen name made me have laughs, too!
To RavenOnline: I'm glad you think the story is funny! And I'm sorry you were traumatized for a week. It is kind of creepy, I guess . . . However, the first chapter is the only chapter that will have "Ring" jokes! I assure you!
To ???: I hate cliff-hangers too! But it's so hard to write a chapter that doesn't have one! I'm glad you absolutely loved it!
To Nightwish13: Sorry about that . . .
To Raven of Fear: Even if the Review wasn't for my story, you gave me a great idea for it! And thank you for sending that email, for clearing things up!
To SpiderSquirrel: EW! THE EXORCIST! AAAAAAH! hides under his bed. Takes his laptop with him and continues to type It is like that, isn't it? Weird! But isn't this more funny?
To Bob: Thank you!
To rosemary: Thank you!
To afterdark: Glad you think this is hilarious! I'm updating now!
To darkaurora333: Well the only words I caught out of this was that you think it's hilarious and that you want me to continue it. Thank you!
To only reviewer that begs you to update more: Am I being begged? ponders Oh well. I love "The Ring" too! It's just not scary to me. Wait . . . are you saying that I offended your love of "The Ring" or that you are glad I am writing a relationship with it? ponders again
To Cephas: Sorry you think this is creepy. But yes, I do understand that you think it's weird! smiles I appear to be good at this "creeping people out" stuff. You saying this is weird is a compliment to me, just to let you know. I love it when people think I'm weird!
To sarasparrow1: Well that's good! Glad you like it! But from here on out it's going to get a little bit less and less like "The Ring". Sorry if that disappoints you.
Just to let you guys know, I'm absolutely sorry if I freaked you out with this! I guess it's just a matter of opinion: I thought "The Ring" had a great plot, but I thought it was kind of lame-o in the scary department. That's just me though! I guess I should consider the other people. Just remember, though, that none of this is real, and that it will never happen! Unless if you're a very talented make-up artist and a great timer, you could make a video of yourself and . . . woah. I'm hurting my brain.
There isn't going to be anything as "freaky" in the other chapters, though. Except the only freaky thing I can think of is when Raven and Starfire both become absolutely out-of-character; but that's not 'till later chapters!
Enjoy this one!
Raven slowly opened her groggy eyes and looked at the ceiling. What time was it? She never woke up this early on a weekend before . . .
Turning her head, she looked at her alarm clock. 6:00 AM. That wasn't right! She still had to sleep another 10 minutes!
Letting out a frustrated sigh, she pulled the covers over and curled up into a ball. But the covers didn't come over so easily . . . Someone, or something, was in the bed with her.
Raven opened her eyes once more to see what could be in bed with her. Something with red hair.
"Starfire?" asked Raven, sitting upright. Sure enough, the Tamaranian beauty was lying in Raven's bed!
"What are you doing in my room?" asked Raven, freaked out that someone was in her bed with her.
"Please forgive me, friend Raven," said Starfire, quietly. "But I could not sleep. I was . . . afraid."
"Of what? The thing we saw last night?"
"Yes. It scared the . . . what do you say? 'Live doodoo out of me'?"
"Uh . . . yeah. You could say that."
"What should I do, Raven?" asked Starfire, fear in her voice. "Something tells me that the girl's . . . um . . . curse, will become true. And I am worried for my friends."
"So am I, but there's not much we can do. Just go back to sleep. In your own bed."
"But Raven, I am scared!"
"Fine. Sleep on the floor then."
"But what if I hand comes out of your bed and grabs . . ."
"I SAID SLEEP!"
Starfire immediately jumped off of Raven's bed and onto the floor, curling up into a ball. Just in case, though, she charged up her powers if a freaky hand did come out from the bottom of the bed and grab her.
Beast Boy couldn't sleep. He kept tossing and turning. He continued to do that until he just couldn't take it anymore.
The girl's words had scared him. What did she mean by what she said? Was she really going to come and . . .
EW! The thought scared him!
Beast Boy's tummy growled. "I need food," he said, simply, still not understanding the side effects of "Just Woken Up in the Morning Beast Boy".
Beast Boy put on his morning bunny slippers and left his room, oblivious to the absolute mess it was in. Opening his door, he scanned the hall for any signs of creepy girls with black hair, and then made his way down to the kitchen.
Of course, to get to the kitchen, though, he would have to pass the TV where they watched the tape. But it wasn't the seventh day, was it? But what if he had entered a time warp while he was asleep? He had heard about those things. Raven sent him into one once when she blew up the Tower.
Beast Boy opened the door, surprised to see that the TV was still on. But there was no head of a little mental girl. Instead, there was this guy with an acoustic guitar, with outrageous hair and beard, sitting on a bed and playing for a bunch of clapping people with the same kind of hair.
Wait . . . acoustic guitar? Wasn't that the thing that he had heard yesterday?
Shuddering at the thought of some kind of prophetic thing, Beast Boy continued to watch the "Live in Bed" concert. The music was kind of catchy, he had to admit, and it looked like the people there were all having a great time.
But then he caught something out of the corner of his eye . . .
A Japanese looking girl with black hair wasn't clapping her hands of anything. She wasn't even bouncing around to the beat. Instead, she was either looking from the camera or to the guy playing the guitar, obviously more interested with her face being on the TV than the music.
And the way she was positioned, it looked like she was just . . . staring at Beast Boy.
While he stood transfixed to the TV, he didn't notice the door behind him opening, as the rest of the Titans stumbled out, still groggy with sleepiness.
"Good morning," said Raven, shoving past a still-freaked out Starfire and making her way to the kitchen.
Cyborg walked up to Beast Boy and looked at the TV. "What is that?" he asked to Beast Boy.
"I . . . don't know. It was on when I woke up."
"Oh! That's my prized possession!" Beast Boy and Cyborg turned around to see Robin walking up to them and looking at the TV. "It's John and Yoko's Bed in for Peace!"
Robin pushed the eject button and grabbed the tape. Then, turning to Beast Boy, he said, "Don't touch it!" and put it in a hard plastic cover.
"Yoko?" asked Cyborg. "As in Yoko Ono?"
"Yeah. The one and only."
Beast Boy, who did not know who this Yoko person was, just nodded. But it was kind of creepy . . . Had it not been for Yoko's older looks, she would have looked like the mental girl.
(A/N: Don't go to Google Images and type in "Yoko Ono"! There are some nasty pictures!)
"I am as hungry as a bloofnog!" came the innocent voice of Starfire. "Beast Boy, please prepare the white, artificial eggs, as I wish to consume for my morning meal!"
"Uh . . .yeah," said Beast Boy, thinking about this whole Yoko thing. He shrugged it off and walked over to the stove. "Do you want your tofu boiled or scrambled?"
Breakfast was now served, or, at least what was supposed to be breakfast. Cyborg's huge steak was just kind of in the middle of the eggs, waffles, tofu, and cereal.
"That steak can't be good for you in the morning," said Robin, eyeing Cyborg's choice of health.
"Why not?" asked Cyborg. "It's food. You eat it, and you eat stuff at breakfast."
"Yeah," said Raven, slowly lifting a spoonful of Coco Puffs. "That, or you can have a heart attack while we continue to save the city without you."
"Uh . . . Pass the cabbage, Starfire."
Starfire lifted up a huge head of cabbage and chunked it over to Cyborg, who took a huge bite. Starfire, then looking back at her food, noticed Beast Boy staring blankly at his tofu eggs.
"Why, Beast Boy!" she said, shocked. "You have not even touched your tofu eggs!"
Beast Boy looked up, lifted a finger, and poked the tofu. "Now I have."
"Are you feeling OK, Beast Boy?" asked Raven. "You seem so . . . quiet."
"Yeah . . ." Beast Boy looked at his "eggs". "May I be excused. I have to . . . uh . . . take a leak."
"You don't have to tell us," said Cyborg, disgustedly chewing on his cabbage. "You know where the pot is."
Beast Boy got up and made his way down the hall.
"My head is filled with unpleasant images now," said Raven, dropping her spoon in the now chocolate milk. "I think I just lost myapetite."Starfire nodded.
Beast Boy sat on the bathroom floor, curled up into a ball and rocking back and forth. He had always been able to think better when he was in a confined space with no one else.
Yes . . . thinking about the black-haired lady. What did Cyborg call her? Yoko Ono?
Beast Boy then heard the acoustic guitars in his head once more, just like from the video. This Yoko Ono person was taking over his life!
It was settled! All signs of Yoko Ono must be destroyed!
Beast Boy, now with a crazy look in his eye, stood up and left the bathroom. He walked back to the kitchen, where the Titans were still eating, and walked back over to the TV room.
Robin, who seemed to be the only one to notice, said, "You OK, Beast Boy?"
Beast Boy didn't respond, but instead headed over to where Robin had put his most "prized possession". He lifted up the box and glared at it.
"Uh, Beast Boy?" came a concerned voice that sounded like Robin. "Please put down the tape."
Beast Boy continued to stare at the tape.
Just staring . . .
And then . . .
"IT'S A TAPE OF EVIL!" He threw the tape down on the floor and jumped on top of it, over and over again, smashing it into itty-bitty pieces!
"EEEEK!" squealed Robin, rushing over to his precious videotape. The other Titans soon ran after him, like a herd of cows running after one that was about to do something stupid.
"Beast Boy!" shouted Raven. "Get off of the tape now!"
"NEVER!" shouted Beast Boy, still jumping up and down, smashing the tape some more.
Beast Boy continued to smash, while Robin and the rest of the Titans watched with scared eyes. After about a minute or so, the changeling stopped.
And then glared at them.
"AAAAAAH!" they screamed, backing away from the psychotic changeling.
Beast Boy then ran away from the Titans and to some other part of the Tower.
"What was that all about?" asked Cyborg, looking at the door in which Beast Boy left.
"BEAST BOY!" shouted Robin, falling on the ground and looking at the remains of his video. "HE KILLED THE HIPPIES!"
Starfire kneeled down next to Robin and patted him on his back. "Cheer up, Robin. We can buy another 'In the Bed for Peace' tape on Ebay."
Robin looked at Starfire with teary eyes. "THAT TAPE WAS FROM MY PARENTS!"
Starfire then looked at the tape. "Oh . . ." she said. "Then . . . um . . . we shall have Cyborg repair it for you!"
"Forget that," said Cyborg. "We need a way to repair Beast Boy." He then looked over at Raven. "Want to go talk to him?"
"Sure," said Raven. "I love volunteer work . . ."
Raven floated out of the room, leaving Cyborg, Starfire, and a crying Robin behind.
"Beast Boy," called Raven, slowly. "Where are you?"
"Hiding . . ." came a voice from not-too far away.
Raven looked at the door that sounded like the call was coming from: Beast Boy's room.
Holding her breath, she slowly opened the door and peered inside. There was Beast Boy in the middle of his room, lying on his stomach, X-ing out some pictures in a magazine.
Raven, feeling no sense of danger, walked into Beast Boy's room and looked at the magazine he was marking out pictures in.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm crossing out pictures."
"Of what?"
"You know who . . ."
Raven then looked up, confused. "Lord Voldemort?"
"NO!" Beast Boy then stood up and showed the pictures. Or, at least what you could tell from the pictures.
"Oh . . ." said Raven, nodding. "Yoko Ono."
"AAAAH!" Beast Boy covered his ears and fell on the floor. "SPEAK NOT THE NAME!"
"Woah . . ." said Raven, staring at the broken-down Beast Boy.
Beast Boy regained his composure, and with a drunken smile on his face, continued his masquerade of crossing out pictures.
"Um . . . Beast Boy."
"Yesssss?"
"You . . . shouldn't really get your nose that close to the Sharpie."
"WHYYYYY?"
"Because . . . you could get high."
"No you can't."
"Yes you can."
"Have you ever tried?"
"Um . . . no."
(A/N: I assure you, smelling Sharpies does not make you high! My friend and I tried it! It just gives you a BAD headache for the rest of the day. And if you do try it, don't EVER look at lights! It HURTS!)
Beast Boy and Raven sat silently for a while, while the sound of felt on smooth paper echoed through the room.
"Hey Beast Boy . . ."
"Yeah . . ."
"We want you to maybe . . . uh . . . come to the lab and get tested on."
"Why?"
"Because you're not acting normal."
Beast Boy looked up from his project. "I am too."
"No. You really aren't."
"I AM TOO!"
"NO! YOU'RE NOT!"
"AM TOO!"
"ARE NOT!"
"AM TOO!"
"ARE NOT!"
Beast Boy lunged for Raven, knocking her on the ground. Raven tried to block him, but nothing happened.
"My powers . . ."
Beast Boy stopped, trying to change into something.
"Mine too . . ."
They looked at each other, confused, and then after a few minutes of doing so, began fighting the old fashioned way.
Beast Boy rolled Raven onto her back, lifted her head, and banged it on the ground a few times. Raven kicked Beast Boy in the . . . well . . . groin . . . and Beast Boy cried out in pain.
"THE PAIN! IT'S CRAWLING UP MY STOMACH!" he cried.
"HA! GIRL POWER!" Wait . . . did she just say that?
Beast Boy dropped on the ground and rolled around a few times, groaning in agony, while Raven laughed evilly.
Beast Boy, most of the pain subsided, got up and lunged at Raven once more. She fell to the ground and was pinned, unable to move. She lifted her head really quickly and butted it into Beast Boy diaphragm.
Poor Beast Boy, not able to take the abuse much longer, hobbled over to bed and threw a pillow at Raven. Raven, not knowing how lumpy his pillows were, took a few quick hits in the head.
Beast Boy smiled and laughed wickedly, but then stopped once he realized that he ran out of ammunition. He looked up to see Raven, charging at him, head lowered.
Beast Boy had two options. One, he could act like all of the cartoons and grab a red sheet, waving it around and then sidestepping when she came. Or, he could just plain jump out of harm's way. He quickly chose the latter.
Raven continued to charge, not able to stop herself, and tumbled onto his bed. Beast Boy pranced around the room, celebrating his so-called "victory", until he noticed her charging at him once again. But Beast Boy could not side step this time! No! Instead, he was knocked back onto the floor with Raven on top of him.
Beast Boy threw her over onto her back. "GIVE UP!" he cried.
Raven turned him over. "NEVER!"
They continued to do this for a while, until . . .
"MACE!" shouted Beast Boy, unveiling a can and spraying mace into Raven's eyes.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" screamed Raven, clutching her eyes. "IT BURNS US, PRECIOUS!"
Beast Boy used this moment as his getaway.
Cyborg slowly walked over to his room. He was worried about Raven, and he didn't know if he should go and help her or not. It usually never took this long for her to get somebody over to the medical lab.
Cyborg shrugged it off. He didn't care. She was probably just consoling him, or maybe ever helping him herself. Besides, he just needed to get away from that spastic Robin and that worried Starfire. Ever since Raven had left, Robin had been crying his eyes out while Starfire tried her best to cheer him up.
Cyborg walked into his room, only to find it in a mess.
"Woah," he said, looking around slowly. What could have been in here?
And then he saw it.
"Beast Boy?"
"Don't mind me," said Beast Boy, looking up from something in his hands. "I'm just confiscating this."
"Confiscating what?"
"Your CD." The changeling lifted up a red CD with a yellow "1" on it.
"DUDE! PUT THAT DOWN! THAT IS MY BEATLES CD!"
"Correct," said Beast Boy, throwing it in a garbage bag. "It is dangerous, and must be destroyed."
"What? WHY?"
Beast Boy reached in the garbage bag and pulled the CD out again. "It's got a song about . . . you know who . . ."
Cyborg looked confused. "Lord Voldemort?"
"NO!" Beast Boy turned to the backside of the case and pointed to track 23.
"The Ballad of John and . . . OH!" said Cyborg, nodding. "Yoko Ono."
"AAAAAAH!" screamed Beast Boy, putting his hands over his ears. "SPEAK NOT THE NAME!"
"DUDE!" yelled Cyborg. "What is the MATTER with you?"
Beast Boy ran out of his room at full speed, leaving his trash bag behind, but taking the CD with him.
"GET BACK HERE YOU FREAK!" yelled Cyborg. "THAT'S MY CD!" Cyborg, worried for his CD, gave chase.
Beast Boy continued to run from the bad robot. If he could just get to the roof in time . . .
There it was! The staircase to the roof! Beast Boy laughed as he ran up, not paying any attention to the evil thing that was chasing him. Beast Boy reached the roof and stopped running right as he reached the edge.
He turned around to see Cyborg standing right there, who had also stopped.
"Beast Boy," he said, staring at the changeling with worried eyes. "Don't . . . even . . . think about it."
"Oh, I'm not going to throw it over the edge," said Beast Boy, innocently. Cyborg sighed and wiped his brow in relief.
"I'M GOING TO GRIND IT ON THE CEMENT! SHINY SIDE DOWN!"
Cyborg screeched as he watched Beast Boy slam the CD on the ground, shiny side first, and rubbed it against the cold cement. A grinding sound was the only noise there was.
"NO!" screamed Cyborg. Beast Boy ran away, shrieking in delight. Cyborg lifted his CD and looked at the bottom. It was all scratched . . . he could never play it again.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" screamed Cyborg, lifting his hands in the air, typical drama style.
Beast Boy lay on the floor in his room, searching desperately for any evidence to destroy. All traces of evil were almost gone from the Tower . . . he could feel it. But there were two more things that he must find and destroy before the Tower was Yoko-Free.
There came a knock on the door. An evil was close.
"Beast Boy!" came the sound of Starfire's sweet voice. "Open the door! I wish to show you the artificial-hair hat that I purchased!"
Beast Boy sighed angrily and opened the door, only to see the source of evil. There, on Starfire's head, was a black wig.
Not just any kind of wig . . . A YOKO ONO WIG!
"Is it not glorious?" cried Starfire, twirling the hair in her finger. "It is almost real feeling! Would you care to touch?"
Beast Boy stared open-mouthed as Starfire extended a lock of black hair towards him. It was so close . . . if he could just grab it . . .
Beast Boy slowly lifted his arm to the hair and pretended to admire it. And then, with more force than a cement truck hitting a squirrel, he yanked it from atop Starfire's head.
"ACK!" she screamed, seeing Beast Boy run off with her wig. "BEAST BOY! PLEASE RETURN MY ARTIFICIAL-HAIR HAT!"
Starfire tried her hardest to fly after him, only to notice that all of her powers seemed to have been drained from her. Once more, she tried to lift herself off the ground, only to fail.
"Odd," said Starfire. But then noticing that her possession was getting away, she ran after Beast Boy.
Not much of an athlete, Starfire tried her hardest to keep up with Beast Boy. She felt her legs tensing up as she neared the TV room, where Robin still was, trying his hardest to tape the remains of the video back together.
"ROBIN! YOU GLORBAG!" shouted Starfire as she noticed Beast Boy leaving the main entrance of the Tower. "HELP ME CATCH BEAST BOY!"
"What?" said Robin, looking up at the now PO'd Starfire. Starfire screamed angrily as she dragged Robin to the main entrance.
Starfire slammed the door open with all of her might, Robin behind her. There was Beast Boy, dumping a weird liquid onto the black wig.
The smell of gasoline filled the air.
"BEAST BOY!" screamed Starfire. "BUT DOWN THE HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE LIQUID, NOW!"
"NEVER!" screamed Beast Boy as he struck a match. He threw it onto the wig and ducked just in time, escaping the grasps of the flames.
"YES! VICTORY IS MINE!" shouted Beast Boy, doing a little dance. Starfire just watched as her eyes filled with tears, while Robin stared at the dancing Beast Boy.
Starfire cried outloud as the flame vanished, leaving no traces of the black wig behind. She covered her eyes and cried all the way back to the Tower, leaving Robin and the dancing Beast Boy outside in the cold December air.
Robin's eyes followed Starfire as she slammed the door to the Tower shut, then looked at Beast Boy.
"What was that all about?" he asked, angry yet somewhat freaked out at the same time.
Beast Boy stopped dancing and looking up at Robin's hair. The last Yoko-related thing . . . It was near . . . and right in front of him.
"Your hair . . ." said Beast Boy. "It's BLACK!"
Robin ran away, Beast Boy hot on his trail.
Raven opened her eyes as she wiped away the remaining tears. How long had it been since Beast Boy shot her with mace?
She sat up, looking around his room. It was still in the same mess as it was, and the pictures that he was crossing out still sat on the floor.
She left the room, wondering what all had happened to Beast Boy. Had he really fallen to some kind of curse or something? Was that thing that they had watched last night really going to affect them in some weird, wacko way?
She could only wonder who would be next.
That's the end of Chapter 2! Who will fall next to the "curse"? I know who it is, and I'll give you a hint! Their name starts with an "R"!
But there are two people whose names start with an "R" . . . OK. I'll give you another hint. They're short!
Wait . . . they're both short . . . OK! This character's name started the chapter! If that wasn't the easiest hint, then you're just bad!
Anyway, please Review! And sorry if I freaked you out some more! I guess it's just a bad habit!
