Chapter 9: Uh, gimme dat mountain dew!
"BEASTBOY, YOU COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" Raven screamed, her anger causing the cracks in the pavement to grow to enormous size.
'Must-Chase-Must-Chase-Must-Run-Must-Run-Must-Oh,What'sThat?' A green dog thought, suddenly changing direction as he spotted a cat sauntering into a nearby min-golf course across from the mall parking lot. 'No-Not-The-Windmill-You-Stupid-Cat!How-Am-I-Supossed-To-Catch-You-Now-Ahh!' Beastboy found his path blocked by a rising piece of golfing green outlined in a black aura. 'No-Fair-No-Fair-No-Fair!'
"Who said life was fair?" Raven asked, picking up the squirming pooch and struggling to keep him from running off.
Beastboy then changed into a kitten and was about to get away, but Raven tightened her grip before he could. Beastboy then turned around and with chibi kitten eyes, silently pleading to be released.
"Not…going…to…work." Raven replied, her resistance slightly lessened by the adorable feline. 'Fine,You-Asked-For-It,Why-Do-You-Always-Choose-The-Hard-Way?' and with that he dug his claws into Raven's arms and she dropped him in surprise and pain.
"Oh, you are going to PAY!" Raven exclaimed as her eyes glowed black, pursuing Beastboy onto the golf course.
[Scene Break]
Robin returned to the T-tower to get his scooter and was about to leave once again when he heard faint noises… like shouting, only muffled because he was underground. He quickly dismounted and cautiously ascended to see what the commotion upstairs was all about.
[Scene Break]
"WAAHHHHHH!" Cyborg screamed, "Outa-My-Way-Outa-My-Way-OUTA MY WAY!"
Robin leaped aside as Cyborg charged for the elevator door, a crazed Starfire on his heels, shooting a green jet of light from her eyes. "Ah!" Robin exclaimed in surprise when he saw her. He had only seen her so angry a few times before, but never at one of her teammates.
Cyborg clicked the close door button, willing the doors to close faster, but the doors were no match for Starfire's strength, who wrenched them apart easily. Screaming like a girl in his terror, Cyborg ran past Starfire, but one of the sodas he was attempting to keep away from her dropped to the floor. She hurriedly picked it up and melted the cap off with the heat of her eyes.
"Starfire, stop!" Robin exclaimed, extending a hand out of reflex to knock it out of her hands, only to withdraw it when she shot a laser beam at it. "Star," Robin then said, calming his voice, hurt that she was being so barbaric towards him… of all people. Starfire kept a threatening glare upon him, never blinking, but the more she stared into his eyes, the more she calmed down. "Please," Robin pleaded, "Put… the soda… down." For a split second, her addictive rage returned full-force, but only for a second, and the next she was surrendering the soda to Robin, who grabbed it rather fast and threw it down the drain.
"Robin," Starfire began, "I-I'm sorry, I-I c-can't, I-I don't know what-"
"Don't worry about it, Star," Robin interrupted, "We'll find a way to stop this, I just want you to drink some water and rest."
[Scene Break]
"FORE!" Beastboy shouted as he hit the golf ball, then at super speed (in the form of a cheetah) ran to where the ball was going to land at the 40 yard mark and transformed into an alligator and caught it with his maw. 'Yuuummmmmm…'
The changeling's alligator face contorted shortly after his golf ball meal, which apparently didn't agree with his stomach, and shortly after he regurgitating it, along with most of the soda he had consumed earlier.
"BEASTBOY!" Raven screamed as she approached him, soaked in water.
"Whoah, what happened to you?" Beastboy said, changing back into human form and shaking his head a bit to recover from his slight stomach sickness.
"What happened? WHAT HAPPENED? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT HAPPENED! YOU PUSHED ME INTO THE LAKE!"
"Uh…I'm sorry!" Beastboy squeaked as he cowered in fear and Raven's eyes blazed.
"Agh!" an employee exclaimed as he was thrown from his golf ball collector machine as it 'mysteriously' exploded.
"Oooookay, Raven, you need to calm down." Beastboy said nervously.
"OH, YA THINK!" Raven bellowed in response, causing a geyser to form in the lake she just came out of.
"Well yeah, just a little bit." Beastboy said, not seeming to notice Raven's sarcasm.
"ARGHHH! First you drag me around the mall, then the mini golf course, then a zoo and a million other places, and now a driving green!" Raven shouted, "I've had enough! You are going home, whether you like or not!"
"Okay." Beastboy squeaked, frightened by Raven's outburst and still trying to remember how he got to the golf course himself… It was all a blur in his head and the last thing he remembered was finding that bottle of Mountain Dew...
