Lost Inside

Chapter 4

The next morning, Stephanie got out of the spare bedroom and walked out into the main room. She was barricaded by Starfire's many questions as soon as she entered the room.

"Do you still have 'amnesia'? Where'd you come from? Do you like me? Am I your friend? What's your favourite colour? What's your favourite number?

"Probably, the sky, yes, duh yes, red and black, one" Stephanie replied.

Starfire gasped falling backwards.

"Uh…Starfire? What's wrong?" Stephanie asked her.

"You're a pire of vam!!! You like red and black, vampires wear black and drink red blood! You could be a damaged pire of vam that fell while flying!"

All other titans and Stephanie sweat dropped.

"Uh Star? I think you mean vampire and vampires don't exist"

"Oh…"

Star subconsciously floated into the kitchen. She opened the kitchen, took out the mustard and squeezed the substance in her mouth.

"Wow. You managed to restrain the urge to kill her. Unlike me. Congratulations" Raven muttered to Stephanie in monotone.

Stephanie looked at Raven curiously for a moment.

"When I first joined the teen titans, Starfire screamed that I was a vampire because I have greyish skin and wear dark colours. I was on the brink of murdering her" Raven explained.

Stephanie lightly chuckled. Raven walked towards the male titans and Stephanie followed.

On the end of the couch, in order, was Raven at the far end, who was reading, Beast Boy, who was next to Raven, Cyborg and then Robin. The boys were mindlessly watching television.

Stephanie sat down next to Robin.

"Hey Stephanie"

"Hey Robin"

Robin turned back to the television.

Everything was quite calm for titans tower. Until Stephanie asked the worst question possible.

"What's for breakfast?"

808080808080808080808080808080080808080808080808080808080808080808080808

In the end they had take out hash browns. No meat. No tofu.

After eating their cough cough nutritious meal, the titans started to leave.

"I need to meditate" Raven excused herself out of the room.

"I need to repaint my baby, someone vandalized it" Cyborg said walking calmly out of the room.

"I wish to partake in making- I mean I wish to have a girl talk with Raven" Starfire stuttered not flying in the direction of Raven's room.

"I need to uh…um…uh…go annoy Raven and learn some new jokes?" Beast Boy lied, sprinting out the door.

Stephanie sighed. She turned towards Robin.

"You've got somewhere to go to as well, don't you?" She asked, her expression sad and glum, thinking he had to be somewhere too.

"Uh…no…not really"

Her face brightened.

"Really?"

"Really"

"Great, then let's go somewhere!"

Robin just let the girl drag him out the door into the t-car.

"Umm…do you know how to drive? Are you even old enough to have a license?"

"No and No but, I may as well learn!" Stephanie answered.

Robin thought she was joking, but he was wrong.

The t-car flung forward at incredible speed.

Unfortunately for Robin, he hadn't put on his seat belt. Stephanie had. But he hadn't.

Stephanie opened the car windows (even the back one, not the front one. Don't ask how the back window opened) and pieces of paper, manuals for the car and other important items flew out of the car. Robin started to be pushed backwards out the back window. As the t-car hit two hundred kilometres per hour, Robin had to grab the back of his chair to prevent himself being flung out the back window, into the road and traffic.

"STEPHANIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Robin screamed "DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GO ANY FASTER!?!?!?!?!"

"WHAT!?!"

Stephanie failed to hear him because of the air pressure.

"SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"WHAT!?!?!?!"

"I SAID SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"WHAT!?!?!"

"SLOW DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"GO FASTER???"

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"

"YES? ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!"

"STEPHANIE!!!!!! NOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"

She stomped down on the accelerator.

The t-car zoomed up to three hundred kilometres per hour.

Robin clung harder to the chair, screaming. Not that he could hear anything over the strong wind's force.

Robin could barely make out things around the car. He saw something ahead. He couldn't see it.

He saw that it was a sign. Robin managed to read the sign before the car crashed in it.

He tried screaming at Stephanie, tried to warn her.

The sign had said:

DANGER. UNFINISHED BRIDGE. KEEP OUT.

"COOL!!!!!!! UNFINISHED BRIDGE!!!!!!!!" Stephanie yelled spotting the end of the bridge "LET'S TRY TO JUMP OVER IT!!!!!!!"

She pressed harder on the accelerator.

"STEPHANIE!!!!!! DON'T!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Everything seemed to go in slow motion as the T-car flew over the edge of the bridge. It started to fly lower and lower. Robin screamed his lungs out in terror, as he looked down at the ocean and jagged rocks in the far distance below.

The car landed, safely, on the land. However, the flight and sudden landing caused a dent in the car.

Stephanie kept going at three hundred kilometres an hour. The world was flying around them. Robin made a note to himself; never go in a car with Stephanie driving AGAIN. She is like a dangerous dare devil.

A few minutes later, Stephanie slammed her foot down on the brakes. Robin was flung forward. His face hit the back of Stephanie's chair.

"We're here!" she sang merrily, unshaken by the fact that she could have died ten times over during that car trip.

Robin crawled out of the car, looking sickly green.

"Gwoaoaoa"

"Robin?" Stephanie turned around to face Robin, a worried look on her face.

"Excuse me, one second!" Robin ran to a nearby trash can and threw up.

After he felt better, Stephanie dragged him towards the place she had stopped at. The cinemas.

"What type of movies do you like?"

"Action!" Robin answered.

"Cool! I love action and adventure movies!!! Do you wanna see one? Can we see one? Please?"

"Yeah, sure. I'll pay"

"Fine with me. I don't have any money. I must have lost it while I was falling from the sky, or something. Maybe I was broke? I dunno."

Robin paid for two tickets.

$lalalalalalalalalalalala - somewhere in titans tower – lalalalalalalalalalalala$

Beast Boy looked through the paint.

"I think this colour should go on the walls!" pointing at the colour titled 'puce'.

"I don't think so BB" Cyborg said.

"Yes, friend Beast Boy, and that is not matching either the bed or furniture that are being delivered! And it is not one of her favourite colours!"

"I have an idea" Raven said. She whispered her idea to the others.

"That is a glorious idea, friend Raven!"

"Aw…I wanted puce!"

"Nobody likes puce, get over it!" Cyborg stated.

"I wonder how Robin's doing?" Raven pondered.

"Probably fine. I mean, it's not like Stephanie took the T-car and drove Robin around at three hundred kilometres per hour with the windows opened so he could be flung out and it's not like Stephanie turned into a dare devil and tried to jump an unfinished bridge!"

Cyborg didn't realise how wrong he was.

$lalalalalalalalalalalala – after the movies – lalalalalalalalalalalala$

"That was brilliant!" Stephanie said.

They were walking back to the t-car. Stephanie was snuggling up to Robin and Robin was as red as a beetroot.

All of a sudden. Stephanie jumped in the car and pulled him in. Robin had to follow otherwise her strong grip surely would have pulled his arm off, at the least, dislocated it.

This time he quickly put on his seat belt. He wasn't going to make the same mistake as last time. Stephanie put on her seat belt, too.

She slammed on the accelerator. They began a different route to get to the t-tower.

She drove into many various objects and buildings on the route home. The t-car was being scratched and was getting large dents in it. Cyborg was going to kill them.

'This is going to be a lllooooooong day. Note to self: never let the other titans convince me to be a distraction EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!' Robin thought.

$lalalalalalalalalalalala – back in the tower – lalalalalalalalalalalala$

"BEAST BOY!!!!!!!!" Raven yelled at him. Beast Boy had clumsily hit her with paint.

"Uh…oops?"

"GRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOPS!?!?! OOPS!?!?! I'LL SHOW YOU OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Raven yelled as she levitated a bucket of paint and threw it at Beast Boy.

"Friends! Stop it! We must clean up the paint and get the furniture in here before they come back!"

"You're right, Star" Raven said, calming down.

$lalalalalalalalalalalala – about an hour/half an hour later – lalalalalalalalalalalala$

"Stephanie, come with me a moment" Robin beckoned, pulling Stephanie through the T-tower.

They stopped at a door that was near all the bedrooms.

Robin slid open the door. It was very dark. She couldn't see anything. The lights turned on.

"SURPRISE!!! WELCOME TO YOUR VERY OWN ROOM!!!!!!!"

Stephanie's mouth dropped open in awe.

The walls were black. The ceiling was black and represented the night sky. There were hundreds of tiny, yellow lights, representing stars. There were some tiny rainbow lights which formed constellations. It was…amazing.

There was a couch, a table, some pillows and a bean bag. The bean bag was a light red and was fluffy. The pillows were black. The couch was a deep blood red and the table was painted black with a red table cloth. In the center of the table was a black china vase with plastic red roses in it.

The bed had a black mattress and a red doona (is that what the bed covering is called?). There were black pillows in the shapes of hearts and flowers which Stephanie noted were probably Starfire's idea.

Stephanie walked into her bathroom, to see what it looked like.

Everything was white, except for the walls and ceiling which were black. On the ceiling, there were tiny rainbow lights that formed the planets and a big yellow light representing the sun.

"Oh my…" Stephanie breathed "I can't believe this. Everything's so…beautiful…Thank you so much!!! This is wonderful!!! How can I repay you?"

"You don't need to. Just enjoy it!!!"

"Yeah, we wanted to do it"

"Thank you! You guys are the nicest people in the world!!! Definantly the nicest people I've ever met!!! I think…"

The titans and Stephanie had a little laugh.

"Oh and by the way, guys I refuse to be a distraction ever again!!!!!!!!!" Robin stated.

"Eh! Your loss if you didn't have fun! Now, if you don't mind me, I'm gonna go polish my baby!" Cyborg waved good bye and ran down towards the garage.

Robin remembered what had happened to the car.

"Cyborg, I wouldn't want to do that if I were -"

A high pitched, girlish scream rang out through the tower, followed by.

"ROBBBBBINNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!! STEPHAAAAAANIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Heh…oops…" Stephanie said, looking worried.

"…Too late…" Robin muttered, his brow creasing. They were going to be in a lot of pain once Cyborg was through with them.

$lalalalalalalalalalalala – somewhere unknown – lalalalalalalalalalalala$

"Stephanie is going to pay. I will not let her get out of the deal. I will find where she is. I've given her enough chances, so she must DIE!!!!!!!!!!!"
