(Beast Boy's point of view)
Okay, this is going to sound a little weird. What happened yesterday was a shock to me. I didn't understand why I wasn't as happy as I should have been. I felt like something was missing, like things had changed and they'd never be the same. So I tried reliving it in my head. I still couldn't make any sense of it. Eventually, I decided that the best way to reflect on it was to write it. Yes, that's right, I wrote a play. Not like me to be into art, but it really helped. Plus, I actually am starting to like this literature stuff. Well, so far, I haven't shown my play to anyone, so I put it here. Hopefully, it'll get a few reviews. Here goes my reputation…
I'll Get The Door A play by Garfield Logan Act OneThe set is Titans Tower. Cyborg and BB are playing video games. Starfire is trying to cook dinner. Robin is training in the gym. BB is not really interested in the game. His mind is wandering to Raven. Currently, he is wondering if he likes her more than he thinks he does. Raven has been out for an awfully long time.
Cyborg (to Beast Boy): I am so gonna kick your butt!Beast Boy (uninterested): Whatever.
Starfire (depressed): My friends, I fear there will be no Zorkaberry pie tonight, as the oven and I have not been getting along very well.
Beast Boy (concerned): I wonder where Raven is. She's been out a long time.
Cyborg (reassuringly): I'm sure she's fine, BB. Raven can take care of herself. (teasing) How come all of a sudden you care about Raven so much?
Beast Boy (defensively): I don't, I just don't like not knowing where she is, or who she's hanging out with…..
Cyborg (teasing): Aww, you like her, don't you?
Beast Boy (irritated): I do not! (BB drops the controller.)
Starfire: Who wants Pudding of Sadness?
Cyborg and BB (in unison): EEW!
Just then, there is a sudden knock on the door.
Cyborg: Now who could that be?Starfire: Perhaps our friend has returned!
Beast Boy: Is it Raven? I'll get the door.
Beast Boy checks his appearance in the mirror. Cyborg makes fun of him, but Beast Boy seems not to care. Beast Boy finally reaches the door and opens it. On the other side is…
RRRIP!
"AAH! My play! My beautiful play! I finally find my true calling," Beast Boy wailed, "and you RIP it! How dare you!"
KLUNK.
We apologize for the inconvenience. Beast Boy has been detained and put into a straitjacket. He will remain in solitary confinement until we have removed every notion of becoming the next great American playwright from his head. We have kindly retold the events without any of Beast Boy's input. Read on and ignore the screaming.
"Ok, Beast Boy. Comic books are GOOD. Becoming a playwright, BAD for you in particular."
"Dude, you are going down!" Cyborg maneuvered his prizefighter around the ring. He swung a few punches at Beast Boy's character, a scrawny teenage boy with a sword. Beast Boy and Cyborg were playing Knockout Fest 3: Return of the Mutants.
"Yeah, well your 'prizefighter' looks more like a ballerina." Although he hated to admit it, Beast Boy wasn't in the mood to play video games. He was too depressed. Raven had left without an explanation. Thoughts of Raven on a date with some handsome-looking guy ran through his brain. He shook them from his mind and continued the game.
"Hey, that never happened."
"Shut up or I'll bring out the ray gun."
"Guys, do you wish to consume, I mean, do you want pizza for dinner?" questioned a voice from the kitchen. Starfire's "English" had improved since she had arrived, but once in a while, she slipped up.
"Sure. What toppings?" Robin had just entered the room, sweaty from his workout. Upon seeing Starfire, he said, "I'll go get a shower," then left the room blushing. His departure was followed by an awkward silence.
"You added that. I'm sick of all this romance!"
ZZAPP!
"Ok, I'll shut up."
"Hey," Beast Boy said, breaking the silence, "where's Raven?
"Dunno," Cyborg replied. "Probably shopping."
"Raven doesn't like shopping." Beast Boy was getting anxious. "What if she's with some person we don't know? Some bad guy could have her, or worse, she could be at the movies with some weirdo Goth dude!"
"Raven can handle herself," Cyborg reassured him. "Besides, if Raven has a crush on anyone, it's you." Beast Boy blushed.
"I did not!"
"Here comes the ray gun…."
"What makes you say that?" he asked, sounding half-curious, half-defensive.
"She's been spending a lot of time with you. Take that!" Cyborg hollered as the prizefighter punched the scrawny kid, who looked remotely like Beast Boy.
"That's what you get for interrupting."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" Beast Boy exclaimed, rocketing off of the couch and making for the door. "Maybe Raven's back," he hoped. He turned the knob and…
Sorry, but thanks to ol' Garfield here, we're out of room. Once again, we apologize if this chapter has disturbed you in any way. Please tune in next time for another chapter of Reunions, without the play.
"AND WITHOUT THE FLUFF!"
"Remember, I am the author. Which means I can…control you."
MWAHAHAHA!
Don't you just love it when you're the one calling the shots? I know I do.
Author's Note: This last chapter was a little weird, but I tried to make it funny. Plus, I love torturing you guys with cliffhangers. Kidding! You can stop throwing the rotten fruit now! And the furniture!
