fat doris productions is proud to bring to you:
Rebecca
Based on Daphne du Maurier's novel and Alfred Hitchcock's film.
The two founders of FAT DORIS were exceedingly bored one afternoon during study hall. In that time, while they were reading REBECCA, they decided to bring their version of REBECCA to you.
There are two versions of this FAT DORIS production:
One written by the 2nd founder of FAT DORIS alone
And another written by both the 1st and 2nd founders of FAT DORIS.
Both stand by the disclaimer: FAT DORIS AND CO. does not own Teen Titans or Rebecca, even though we so obviously should.
REBECCA
CHAPTER 1
WRITTEN BY THE 2ND FOUNDER OF FAT DORIS
(AKA: bowan'arrowchick)
The sky was gray; rain came down in sheets. And hail. Pieces of wood, broken and splintering, lay along the shoreline. Bits of shredded cloth from a sail. And through the fog and mist, a pale figure with sun-bleached hair, tossed lamely on a rock...
"Beast Boy, look out!"
"Wha-" Clunk "Ow! Hey! What the hell are you tryin' to do? Kill me?"
"Dude, I can't see through the fog; it was an accident!"
"Speak for yourself…"
"Accident my-"
"Please, friends, where is Robin?"
The four Titans looked around the beach. (Where they were spending the weekend.) It seemed that sometime in the past five minutes, during which time Beast Boy had been hit in the head by two volleyballs at once (one spiked by Raven, the other by Cyborg), Robin had apparently walked off without saying a word.
Beast Boy walked under the volleyball net, onto Raven and Cyborg's side, and called, "Robin! Dude! Where the heck are you!" into the distance.
"Uh, Beast Boy?" He turned. Raven was pointing to a trail of footprints, presumably Robin's, that were going in the other direction.
"Oh. I knew that."
"Of course..."
Beast Boy glared at her, then walked back under the net to his side and again called, "Robin! Where the-"
"Dude, that's not gonna do anything," Cyborg said.
"And why not?"
"Because no one listens to you," Raven offered.
Beast Boy growled and Raven threw a wad of sand at him (telekinetically, of course).
"You... are SO dead," he muttered, brushing the sand off his body suit (A/N: that's the surfer swim suit thing. The one piece. Duh.)
"No. Well, possibly. But also he's too far away to hear you," Cyborg finished.
"Huh? How do you-"
Cyborg held his arm up so the other Titans could see. On his right arm was a small map of the beach (Where they were spending the weekend); four dots, each different colors, were standing in a clump on the map; a red dot was moving farther away, almost off the map.
"Oh."
"He's out of our hearing range."
"But why'd he leave?"
"Who cares?" Raven asked, rolling her eyes.
"Apparently Star, because she just disappeared, and we can all pretty much assume where she went," Cyborg stated.
He stood tall among the rocks and shells; cape blowing in the salt-wind. A solitary figure. Staring out at sea. Waiting. Waiting for something to happen...
"Robin!"
He turned.
"Friend Robin! I have found you!" Starfire smiled radiantly at him. He smiled at her gravely and turned back to the sea.
"Robin, what is wrong?" she asked quietly, stepping closer to him. He didn't answer at first.
"Robin?" A gust of wind blew past them.
"I don't know," Robin finally said. "I just have the feeling that something's going to happen."
He felt Starfire's hand on his shoulder.
"What is going to happen?" she asked, fear showing in her voice. Robin looked at her over his shoulder. She was standing there tensely. The wind blowing her hair and the purple, lacy sarong she had tied around her waist (A/N: they're all in bathing suit junk... 'cept Robin. He just HAS to be different...).
"I don't know Star! I told you! I don't know!" (He's not yelling) He sounded harsher than he meant to. He hadn't meant to snap at her. Part of him loved her, if only as a friend. But he was frustrated. And frustration sounded in his voice.
Sadness in her eyes, Starfire slowly backed away.
I wish to understand you, Robin. But you only... push me away...
Guiltily, Robin turned to her.
"Starfire-"
"No, Robin. It is... fine. You... wish to be alone?" Starfire asked, using words she had heard the other Titans say.
Robin opened his mouth to say something, to explain, but decided against it.
"Yeah."
She nodded, then turned and flew away slowly.
Robin sighed and watched her for a moment.
God damn it... She must think I'm such a bastard right now... She just... doesn't understand! If it'd been Raven... It would've been different; but that's just it! Starfire is different! She doesn't understand..
He turned back to the water.
But something is going to happen. I just wish I knew what...
Another strong gust of wind blew past him, blowing sand everywhere; for a moment, he could see nothing. Then, when the sand cleared, he saw it. He stared for a moment, thinking he was just imagining things.
But this was real.
"Starfire! Come back! There's a girl over by the rocks!"
(Fades to black, then Theme Song)
A/N: Okay, I know 'push me away' isn't something Starfire would usually say, but I'm trying to make it seem like she's trying to speak... English. Like, human. Cut the French/English direct translation grammar, etc. (don't ask unless it's really killing you).
