Author's Note: Hello again! May I present, chapter fourteen! I only expect that this will be one or two more chapters, so, all of your questions will be answered soon! But I won't tell you anything more! Thanks for sticking with me this far, and I know this hasn't been the best story grammar, spelling, and such wise, but I didn't feel like making a huge effort in editing. Sorry! My other stories are much better written, if you care to check them out.
Well, reviews are always appreciated! Thanks! Until next time...
-Claire


"Should we leave soon?" Starfire asked eagerly, leaning her head over Robin's. He opened his mouth to reply, but instead, got a mouth-full of her red hair. He sputtered and gagged, all the while Starfire just stood there, giving him a puzzled look. After he had backed away from her and his mouth was a hair-free zone, he cleared his throat and made a move to speak again. Just as he opened his mouth, there was a crashing noise and someone fell into the room. Terra was curled up on the floor, making a funny gurgling noise.

"Terra!" Robin and Starfire said at the same time, rushing over to where she was. Robin bent down, seeing that she was shaking. He turned her around, her face in his view. She burst out laughing.

"Beast Boy, that was great..." She choked out, but then opened her eyes. "Oh, hey guys." She greeted them, struggling to get up, but that was difficult since she kept having outbursts of laughter. Robin had gone white, looking like he was about to fall over. He clutched his chest, taking in a gulp of air.

"I... thought... you... were... hurt!" He gasped, still clutching his chest.

"Oh, sorry! Didn't mean to make you have a nervy spasm." She finally got up and slapped him on the back. "Me and Beast Boy were playing a joke on..." She was cut off by a loud cry of pain from the hallway.

"What the..." Robin looked at the door. Beast Boy came sprinting out of the hallway, doubled up with laughter and a grimace of pain. He crashed into Robin and let out a little howl, but it was hard to tell if it was because of the pain he was in or a howl of laughter. "Hey now... what's this all about?" Robin demanded, pushing Beast Boy off of him. A second later, Raven came storming into the room. Robin and Starfire had to do a double take, for Raven had what appeared to be a very large chicken on her head. When Terra and Beast Boy saw her again, they snorted into their hands.

"This!" Raven jabbed at the chicken. "Is not funny!" She roared. Apparently, the other's did not agree, since everyone was now trying very hard to keep a straight face.

"T-then why don't you just... you know... take it off?" Robin offered. She glared at him.

"These geniuses decided to put some glue on the bottom." She said coldly. She jerked her head to one side, looking at Terra, whom had fallen over again with silent laughter. As her head moved, so did the stuffed animal.

"Pfft!" Beast Boy let out.

"Argh! This is hopeless!" Raven said, throwing up her hands. Her eyes glowed black, they all stepped back, not knowing what she was about to do. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" She chanted. The stuffed chicken was surrounded by glowing black magic and was popped right off her hood. The stuffed chicken flew across the room, leaving a trail of fake feathers and glue behind. One second, everyone was watching the chicken crash into the couch, the next second, they were shrinking to the floor. Over them was a towering, fiery-eyed Raven. She formed a dark orb in her fist, "Anyone up for a game of dodge ball?" She asked darkly. All of their eyes widened and they scrambled out of the range of fire. She went after Beast Boy first, floating over to him. He fell over the couch and grabbed the chicken, shielding himself with it in a last attempt to save himself. Raven stopped in mid-air, watching the shaking Beast Boy.

The orb disappeared from her hand. She started laughing. Beast Boy peeked out from under the chicken, but regretted it. When Raven spotted his head, she lunged at him from the air and tackled him. Everyone looked out from their hiding places and watched them. The two wrestled for a moment, Beast Boy looked like he was on the verge of tears in all of his confusion. Finally Raven stood up, looking at him. Beast Boy got up cautiously, eyeing her. Once he was standing straight again, Raven made one quick upward movement with her foot, and Beast Boy was once again bent over. Not doubled over with laughter, but with tears. Raven had kicked him below the belt. The others that were watching sweat dropped.

"H-how could you do that?" Beast Boy asked, his hands wrapped around his waist. "D-don't you have any mercy."

"Nope. Hee hee! But I've finally payed you back. That's what you get." Raven replied, giving him an evil grin. The other three inched out of where they had been hiding.

"So... uh... Robin?" Starfire spoke up.

"What?" Robin asked, staring at Beast Boy and Raven.

"Should we leave soon?" She finally got her question out.

"Well..." He looked around, expecting someone else to interrupt. "Yes, I think we should. In a few hours I suppose."

"Good!" Starfire replied, gazing at him. Robin looked back at her, but having those big, green eyes watching him made him shift uncomfortably on his feet. After so long without them saying anything to each other, Robin turned away and tried to get a glimpse of Beast Boy and Raven again. Raven was having a conversation with Terra, but no sign of Beast Boy. Oh, wait, take that back. Robin saw Beast Boy alright. He was transformed into a green cat. He was sitting in Raven's arms, and she was silently stroking him, Beast Boy didn't look pleased. Robin let out another snort and looked away.

"Uh, where's Cyborg?" Robin asked Starfire.

"Did someone call me?" A voice asked. The two spun around and saw Cyborg walking toward them.

"Hey Cyborg. What have you been up to?" Robin greeted him.

"Yo, just been up for a recharge." His eyes wandered over to the other three and raised his eyebrows. "What did I miss?"

"A lot." Robin and Starfire said in unison. Cyborg nodded, then squinted back at the other three, shrugging.

"Well, I'm ready to get out of here. What about everyone else?"

"I guess." Robin replied, his eyes searching for a clock. "Three thirty. Alright, that's a good start. Hey! Guys! Let's head out!" He yelled, getting everyone's attention. Beast Boy went back to his normal self, struggling to get out of Raven's arms.

"Hey! Lemme go!"

"Nononononono. You are staying put. Go back to something cuddly or whatnot, I am holding you til we get there." Raven said, keeping a firm hold on him. Beast Boy sweat dropped.

"Why must you torment me..." He whined.

"Well, I think this is a fair payback for the chicken, don't you agree?" Beast Boy narrowed his eyes at her.

"Fine." He mumbled, turning into a corgi pup.

"Awwww!" Raven let out, hugging him tighter. Terra laughed and scratched Beast Boy behind the ears. He melted at her touch and longed to be in her arms, rather than in the clutches of Raven. But he went silently. At least he was being carried to the carnival.


The group stepped outside. "Are we walking?" Starfire asked.

"I wouldn't be so sure of that." Cyborg said, grinning. He held up a pair of keys and waved them back and forth, making a little tinkling noise. "Ladies, gentlemen... road trip! Well... not exactly... but, close enough. Whatever, let's just get into the car." He pressed a button and a door on a part of the tower opened, revealing the T-Car. Everyone made their way over and seated themselves in the car. Cyborg took the wheel while Robin took the passengers seat. Everyone else scrambled into the back. The three girls had no problem fitting, since Beast Boy was currently puppy sized. Terra sat in the middle of Raven and Starfire, not passing up a moment to run her fingers through Beast Boy's glossy coat of fur.

"Isn't he adorable?" Raven asked with hardly any emotion, holding him out to Terra.

"Yes!" Terra said, not able to hold back a smile. "May I hold him?"

"No." Raven said quickly, tucking him back out of site. Beast Boy gave her somewhat of a grudging look. She was doing this on purpose, teasing Terra with it. Maybe that wasn't so bad, though, Terra did want to hold him, right? Right. So, Raven must be trying to help him in her own odd way, right? Right. Beast Boy put a small paw on Raven's stomach, she looked down at him and winked. Yup, that's what she was doing.

Terra was looking at Raven with a sorrowful look.

"Well..." Raven started. "Alright... you can hold him, but only for a second." Terra's eyes lit up, waiting for Raven to hand her Beast Boy. She was about to give him to her, but then pulled him back again. "Hmm... no, maybe not."

"Oh, Raven, stop teasing her." Starfire spoke up, giving Raven a disapproving look.

"Okay, okay." Raven sighed, giving Beast Boy to Terra. She took him happily, cradling him in her arms. Thanks, Raven. Beast Boy thought, digging his face into Terra's arms. This was nice.

"Alright, my chickies, we are here." Cyborg said, pulling the car into a parking space. They all got out and stretched a little, checking their pockets to make sure their money was still safely tucked away. Raven put Beast Boy down and he transformed back into his normal form.

"Hey, thanks, Rae." He whispered.

"What?" She asked.

"For... you know..." She winked at him and walked ahead, talking to Starfire. He smiled, falling back to were Robin and Terra were.

When they reached the entrance ticket booth, a large man in maroon overalls greeted them, taking their money and giving them little orange, paper wrist bands.

"Welcome to Gotham City Carnival!"
