Note: Finally!I'm done with that stupid project!!!!!!Perhaps taking all honors classes was not such a good idea. But at least I'm doing a lot better in Algebra 2! It's as if my brain is saying, "Let me help you with that, because I'm not helping you with Chemistry."
Yes, the Mermaid conversation did take place. It was much funnier at the time . . . we were yelling at each other for at least an hour. Well, here's the next chapter. Please enjoy.
10:05 p.m.
"I hate this commercial," said Robin.
"You said that about the last commercial," said Cyborg exasperatedly.
"I hated that one, too," said Robin. "Oh, look at this one. The narrator's gonna yell- listen-wait-wait-there! You hear that? Isn't that annoying?"
"I know of one thing that's really annoying," said Cyborg.
"That commercial is definitely going on the list," said Robin, ignoring him.
"What list?" asked Beast Boy.
"My 'Commercials I Hate' list," said Robin, as though this was the most normal thing in the world.
"Oh," said Beast Boy, "and . . . um . . . what do you do with the commercials on your 'Commercials I Hate' list?"
"I HATE THEM!!!" yelled Robin, twitching slightly. Starfire and Raven, who were sitting at either side of him, scooted away from him a little.
"Ooookay," said Beast Boy.
10:07 p.m.
"I kind of like this commercial," said Robin as a commercial for ice-cream came on. He liked ice-cream.
"Do you have a 'Commercials I Like' list?" asked Beast Boy.
"No . . . but I have a 'Commercials I Kind Of Like' list," said Robin.
"I bet it's short," muttered Cyborg.
"And what do you do with the commercials on your 'Commercials I Kind Of Like' list?" asked Beast Boy, bracing himself for a possible scream.
"I don't hate them that much," said Robin.
". . . . Oh," said Beast Boy.
10:09 p.m.
"Hey . . . check out what's on," said Cyborg. "The Exorcist" had just started on one of the movie channels.
"Sweet!" said Beast Boy.
"What is this 'Exorcist' movie?" asked Starfire, worried; the types of movies BB liked were usually "just plain freaky."
"Um . . . it's about unicorns," said Beast Boy.
"Really?" said Starfire, excited now.
"Yeah," said Beast Boy, "yeah really."
"Change it," said Robin suddenly.
"Why?" asked Cyborg.
"They show too many commercials," said Robin.
"Oh come on!" said Cyborg.
"They do!" said Robin. "They show a commercial break every 2 minutes! And they're so long that you forget what you were watching! Do you know what it's like to constantly forget something? It'll drive you crazy!"
"You're driving me crazy!" said Cyborg. "We're watching it! End of s- hey!"
Raven took the remote from him and changed the channel.
"What's the big id-"
"Do you honestly want him to start on commercials again?" whispered Raven. Cyborg let it go. Starfire slumped in her seat. Her emotions harmed yet again by that foul, wretched book . . . .
10:18 p.m.
"What's on the top of your "Commercials I Hate List?" asked Beast Boy, curious.
"The 'Dr. Pepper' commercials," said Robin immediately. "Always with their stupid songs getting stuck in my head and keeping me up all night!" Raven and Starfire hastily moved a few more inches away from him. "How the heck do they 'salute individuality'? They're just sodas! How do they 'promote originality'? They taste just like Coke and Pepsi! WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!?" The girls moved an entire foot away from him.
"Dude," said Cyborg, "what is wrong with you?"
"Lots of things . . ." said Robin sadly.
"Um . . . perhaps we should turn the T.V. off?" suggested Starfire.
"No," suggested everyone else, except Raven.
"Well . . . there's nothing good on, anyway," she said.
"We are not shutting the T.V. off!" said Cyborg resolutely.
"Yeah!" said Beast Boy. "And besides, we should be glad we even have T.V."
Suddenly, (and predictably,) the electricity went out.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Robin.
Note: I don't own "The Exorcist" or Pepsi (just in case).
