The next day, at Titan Tower
"When are they going to get here?" Starfire paced the floor, asking the same question every five minutes.
"Yo, Star? Would you mind doing that somewhere else? I'm kinda doing something here." Beast Boy struggled to see the TV, but Starfire was making a bad window.
"I am sorry, Beast Boy, but I am worried about our Klorgis tickets. They have not yet appeared in the box of packages."
BB sighed and turned off the TV. "When did the lady say they would get here?"
"She said, 'About one week.' But they are not here!"
He rolled his eyes. "Okay, one week is seven days. You're thinking one day. Yesterday was Monday, right?" He paused, watching her nod. "That means they'll be here next Monday." He smiled, waiting for her to accept it and move from in front of the TV.
Instead, her eyes watered up, and she stayed there. "But...but why? Why cannot they be here now?" Her lip quivered.
"Uhh..." Beast Boy wracked his brain for the right words.
"Because they're probably waiting for the producer to send them." Raven walked into the room and headed for the kitchen. "Then they have to send them here."
Star floated to the girl, listening intently.
"Whatever," Beast Boy sighed. He turned the TV back on, but his show was interrupted by the Titans' alarm.
"Titans, trouble!" Robin's face appeared in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, showing that he was in the exercise room with Cyborg.
"The explanation will have to wait, Star. We've gotta go."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
The Titans got back to the tower just before 7 PM. "Man was that long!" Cyborg collapsed onto the couch.
"You said it!" BB followed suit, turning on the tube.
"Who knew it would take everything we had?" Robin sat by Beast Boy, messaging his upper arm and shoulder muscles.
"I had no idea they were so powerful!" Raven leaned against the back of the couch.
"I wonder when they'll get here..." Starfire was on the couch next to Cyborg.
"What?!" they all cried. "Are you kidding?" Beast Boy leaned forward, looking past Cy. "We just had one of the longest battles of our lives and we barely defeated them! Why would we want them here?!"
"I am not thinking about the HIVE students, but about my Klorgis tickets."
The others sighed. "Monday, remember? I even explained why it would take so long so you'd stop whining." Raven stood up, disgusted. "If we'll just be talking about boy bands, I'll be in my room. Call if the conversation gets stimulating."
"Will do," said Robin, watching her leave.
"Ohhh! I cannot wait any longer!" Starfire sat fidgeting, anxiously waiting for Monday.
"Yeah, me neither..." Beast Boy said sarcastically.
"Well, both of you'll have to wait, 'cause Monday ain't till next week." Cyborg flipped channels, looking for something good.
"Come on, I was watching that!" BB threw his arms up in submission. "I give up. I'm going for pizza, anyone want some?"
"Robin and I will have a large pepperoni," said Cyborg, still changing channels.
"I would like the bubble gum pizza, please. And will you buy some mustard at the grocery store? I drank the last this morning."
Robin gagged. "Star, we're – er, you're going through 3 bottles a week. I think you need to cut back."
"Okay. Beast Boy, please buy the medium-sized bottle."
"Medium? I said cut back – it means less."
"Uhh, dude? She usually gets a large." BB shrugged, then turned to leave. "1 large pepperoni, a medium veggie, a small...bubble gum...and a medium bottle of mustard. Is that all?"
"That's it. Thanks, Beast Boy," Robin said.
"I'm gonna ask Raven what she wants. Be back soon!" He jumped into the air, morphed into a bird, and flew upstairs.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Okay, not the best ending, but cut me some slack. I write better on the cpu. I now have to handwrite my stories. R&R, flames accepted (as long as they don't torch me).
