Mountain Dew: Chapter 8 – Gimme Dat Mountain Dew!

"How is she doing?" Robin asked Cyborg, who was monitoring Starfire's vital signs.

Cyborg gripped a fist, trying to contain his anger, but finally it burst forth: "FOR THE LAST TIME SHE IS GOING TO BE JUST FINE AND I'M NEVER GOING TO FINISH ANNALYZING THE PROBLEM IF YOU KEEP ASKING ME HOW SHE IS EVERY 2 SECONDS!"

"O-okay then." A wide-eyed, shrunken in fright Robin said with a sweat drop forming on his brow.

"Now, If you'll let me, I have to find out how much the Mountain Dew actually damaged her, and if an antidote can be made to prevent her condition in the future." Cyborg said with a huff, "Now why don't you make yourself useful, and LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Okay!" Robin said in a high-pitched, squeaky voice as he shrunk out of the room.

"I guess I'll try to find Starfire's lost communicator and Raven and Beastboy since they haven't returned yet." Robin said to himself as he entered the elevator.

[Scene Break]

"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Raven asked Beastboy as she glanced around about them.

"Yes." An irritated Beastboy replied before transforming back into a bloodhound.

"Dang, how many places did this girl go!" Raven exclaimed, "We've been to everyplace in the stinking mall!" (This mall BTW, is pretty darn big, so it took awhile for them to follow the trail, and Raven, having nothing better to do kept asking if Beastboy was absolutely, positively, without a doubt sure where they were going.)

"Hey, what's that over there?" Raven said, pointing to a green bottle.

Beastboy transformed back into a human and picked it up. "It's… MOUNTAIN DEW! ALRIGHT!" and without a further word, he downed the whole thing with a crazed look in his eyes. He transformed back into a dog and started running round a bored-looking Raven.

"Not… Happening." Raven said wearily.

[Scene Break]

"Oh good, you're awa-AH!" Cyborg greeted as Starfire opened her eyes.

She had an odd glaze covering her eyes, and her complexion suddenly paled as she sat up in bed, her face drooping.

"I-don't-feel-so-so-good…" Starfire replied, her energy sapped by her attempt to sit up. She quickly laid back down, groaning.

"Oh, Star, I think that since your natural energy magnified the effects of the mountain dew on your metabolism, I believe it has also magnified the fatigue that comes after it." Cyborg explained. "I recommend that you NEVER have mountain dew again."

"NO! I MUST HAVE IT!" Starfire replied, her eyes glowing green and her strength refreshed.

[Scene Break]

Robin used his tracking device to locate Raven and Beastoy as he headed out of the tower. It indicated that they were heading out of the mall at a rather fast pace, Beastboy in the lead, heading for the local park. Another stationary dot indicated that Starfire's communicator was in a grocery store on the other side of town. "Well, Guess I'd better get my moto."

[Chapter End]
