The Aceman- Thanks for reviewing! Future chapters are coming!

Anyway, on with the story!


In Elecktra's car:

"What happen to my car?" Elecktra asked as she was driving

"There's a totally huge dent in it!" she said

"Um…well, you see…" Beastboy said, still in dazed and sort of nervous since someone actually volunteer to come with him downtown, in his point of view, a hot girl volunteer to come with him.

"It rolled of that damn island didn't it?"

"Yeah." he said and then there was an awkward silence.

"Want some tunes?" she asked, reaching for the stereo

"Sure!" Beastboy said as she turned on the stereo and Evanescence blared out of the speakers.

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
(I'm going under)
Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again

I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under

"You like Evanescence? So does Raven… I think!"

"Really? Oh look, we're here!" Elecktra said as she pulls up to a parking spot, a stroke of luck since it was a Friday and they were in the center of the Village.

"What do you want to do?" Beastboy asked, looking at all of the bright lights and shops

Elecktra got a glint in her eye and said one word,

"Shopping"


Titan's Tower:

"My friends! I am overjoyed to let you taste these muffins I have made!" Starfire exclaimed in orange oven mitts and a red apron.

"Robin! You shall be the first to taste one!" she said handing one to a sweaty and pondering Robin.

"Thanks, Star! So, if it's diagonal to my room and across from Cyborg's room…" he continued mumbling, tracing a map in the air. Cyborg saw him and just shook his head and muttered,

"Crazy." as he held his muffin in mid-air, ready to take a bite.

"You mean Robin?" Raven asked as she sipped her tea, banging her muffin on the table. Not a crumb broke off.

"Yeah- mpmh, OW!" Cyborg said but cried out in pain from Starfire's muffin.

"Hey Star! Did you forget to put muffin softener or something? Cause these muffins are hard!" Cyborg yelled, holding his jaw.

"Muffin softener?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Muffin softener, fabric softener, whatever! They're all the same!"

"Ok… I'm going to my room." she said and was about to walk out with her tea but left her muffin on the table.

"Hey Rae! You forgot your muffin slash rock!"

"Leave it there, I'll be back… and don't call me Rae." and then she left with a whoosh of the door.

"Hmm… " Robin said as he tapped the muffin on the table lightly. When nothing happened, he started tapping it harder, more of smacking against the table now. Still nothing, so first he glanced at Starfire who was mixing another batch, and then knocked the muffin HARD but nothing. He looked at Starfire but saw her putting mixing her batch in the blender so she didn't hear anything. But Cyborg did and he looked at him all weird.

"Um, what are you doing?" he asked

"I'm just checking out this muffin. AGH!" Robin cried in frustration as he continued banging it on the table, then on the wall, and now on the floor.

"Uh… I'm gonna go back to my workshop…" he said looking at their frustrated leader on the ground, pounding at the muffin that just would not break.

Finally, he put the muffin on the table and lifted his arm and "HI-YAH" and his arm came down the on the muffin and then…


The Village:

"Elecktra… can we go NOW?" Beastboy whined. He was bored. He was tired. He was holding Elecktra's shopping bags, all 46 of them.

"You want to go back to the to the tower NOW?" she said, admiring some knee-high boots in the boutique window even though she was holding 10 shopping bags of her own.

"Nooo, I want to go somewhere I LIKE!" Beastboy yelled angrily as some passer-bys stared at him.

"Sheesh! Calm down! I'm going to the arcade and THEN we can go where you wanna go!" she cried out, aggravated.

"No! No, no! The arcade is fine with me!" Beastboy said as he quickly went ahead, dragging Elecktra as he led the way to her car to dump all of the shopping bags, adding them to the 26 already in the car.

"Boys…" she muttered, trying to keep up with him and off they went, down the avenue.


Titan's Tower:

"Why my friend, Robin? WHY? Why have you harmed yourself purposely?" Starfire asked as she bandaged Robin's arm up.

"Uh…" he said, he knew that if he told Starfire her muffins were bad and hard, she would cry.

"I was… training! I was training!" he said, relieved that he thought of a lie just in time.

"You were training in the kitchen while eating the muffins I have made for all of my friends?" she asked, looking at him oddly.

"Uhh… yes."

"Maybe I shall join you next time!"

"Um, sure." he said as he got up, holding the still undamaged muffin with him.

"Do you enjoy my muffin? Why have you not eaten it yet?"

"I'm saving it…" he said as he left

"How thoughtful!" she exclaimed quietly as she cleaned up the medical equipment.


In the Hallway:

Robin was walking out of the infirmary but bumped into Cyborg, dropping his muffin.

"Sorry. Why do I keep bumping into everyone? And why were you in the infirmary?" Cyborg asked, helping him up.

"My arm." he said as he showed Cyborg his arm.

"What happened?" a voice asked from behind both of them.

"Who's there?" Cyborg asked nervously.

"It's me you buffoon." Raven said dryly as she stepped into the light.

"Oh."

"What happened?" she asked again, sounding bored.

"My arm got hurt from that muffin."

"Your arm got hurt by that muffin? she asked, utterly surprised.

"Oh shut up."

"You mean that muffin could do bodily harm?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Is Beastboy back yet?" she asked, trying to hide the hint of excitement in her voice.

"Uh… no… wait a minute! You wanna hit him with those muffins!" Cyborg said sounding suspicious and yet happy.

"I got an idea…" she said as she and Cyborg huddled together for Operation: Get Beastboy while Robin walked around the tower, aimlessly, wondering when Elecktra would be back but he came upon a thought so crazy, so odd, so weird that it nearly scared him: What if Beastboy was making a move on Elecktra? What if they were secretly dating or were on a date RIGHT NOW? This made Robin run towards the door, screaming

"I'm going to patrol the city and check for leads about Slade!"


The Village:

"I can't believe I got beaten! By a girl!" Beastboy exclaimed

"Don't be such a sore loser. Remember, loser treats winner for ice cream!" she teased him about the bet he made an hour ago, challenging her to a winner takes all round, sounding so sure he would win.

"That almost made me forgot… aww man! I still remember! Maybe ice cream will help." she thought as they headed to the ice cream parlor.

The ice cream parlor was old-fashioned, both in style and prices, it was the only place you could get a cone for a dime.

"So what do you want?" Beastboy asked as they entered the parlor and sat at the counter on those little red spinning stools.

"Um… I'll have a root beer float with those little red cherries on top." she replied and as Beastboy ordered and paid for them, she was looking around the parlor, thinking.

"Here you go!" Beastboy slid her root beer float across the counter and she grabbed it.

"Thanks" Elecktra's mouth said but Elecktra's mind was gone.


Elecktra's POV:

Flashback:

The once golden ground was now a dry ebony color, surrounding a black castle with rusted metal bars and bare trees. A girl, Lady Jayda walked through the gates, tired, bleeding, hurting.

Her aunt was in here, her aunt, her last hope; she could tell the young girl everything will be fine, it was all a nightmare, but in reality young Lady Jayda knew it wasn't, she just wanted comfort, something to rely on, to tell her this never happened.

A scream suddenly pierced the dark air; it echoed everywhere that the young girl couldn't locate its source. It screamed again and Lady Jayda felt her already broken heart get stabbed again and again, as she heard the screaming.

She thought it was her aunt but she didn't trust her mind and continued towards the moat but there was a scream again and again. It was getting louder and closer, Lady Jayda didn't know where she was anymore, it was getting darker and darker, but she continued.

Suddenly she saw something, a skull. A skull with blood surrounding it and its skeleton. And in that blood, she saw a silver chain.

A familiar silver chain, her aunt's necklace.

She couldn't handle it anymore; she fell onto her knees, grabbing the chain, tears streaming down her dirty face. She knew that it might not be her aunt and it was probably to scare her but she didn't care, she was scared, hurt and alone. Then an evil laughter rang around her, it sounded as if it was coming from the sky.

She wanted to know everything was okay, that everything never happened, she wanted to know that her friends and her aunt was still alive, she wanted her friends back.

End of Flashback


Back in the parlor:

"You okay? You look a little pale." Beastboy asked, concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine… Let's go." she said, grabbing her root beer float and dragged Beastboy towards her car.


With Robin:

"There's Elecktra's car! But where is she? Whoa, she had a major shopping day; I wonder how shopping bags are in there…" he thought, peering through the car window but suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around. A girl with her younger brother was behind him, looking nervous.

"You're Robin right? From the Teen Titans?" she asked

"Yeah."

"Can I have your autograph?" she asked, holding a piece of paper and a pen. Robin sighed but obliged.

"Who is this for?" he asked as he was writing To: on the piece of paper

"Write To: Marisa and her sister Mark."

"That's your SISTER? Don't you mean your BROTHER?" he asked, eyebrows shooting up.

"No, she's my sister and her name is Mark." she replied calmly and a bit bored, as if everyone asked her this.

"Um… ok… so it's to Marisa and her sister Mark." he scribbled down on the paper, mumbling.

"There you go!" he said, smiling, but with one eyebrow raised, handing them the piece of paper.

"Thank you!" she said as she dragged her sister away.

"Weird people… Note to self: Never come here with my costume on…" he thought as he stared after one of his weirdest fan he ever met.

"Now to find Elecktra and Beastboy…" and he walked off, down the avenue.
Titan's Tower:

"OK, so we'll sneak in this stuff into these stankballs… wait, whose socks should we use?" Cyborg said, looking at a blueprint.

"Yours, but we'll have to soak them in meat first." she answered, trying to hide an evil grin; she enjoyed planning against a certain annoying green teen.

"Good idea, BB hates meat! So, we'll put the Secret Project in the hallway, near his room with these major elasticy rubber bands…" Cyborg trailed but announced to Raven,

"We better warn Robin, Starfire, and Elecktra 'cause Operation: Get Beastboy is a go!

"Right…" was all Raven could say, trying to hide the fact that she was rolling her eyes.

"How did I ever plan this operation with CYBORG?" she thought as she watched Cyborg bustle around for his old gym socks.


Meanwhile in Hell:

"Ok, we'll sneak your 'guards' into the Titan's tower… wait, should we use my demons instead?" the master asked his apprentice.

"Yours, they look like you." Slade answered, looking bored.

"Thanks… HEY! WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'THEY LOOK LIKE ME'? AND you forgot SIR!" he asked raging while fire erupted all around them but Slade was going through a cardboard box nearby.

"Nothing… don't get so overprotective, sir."

"Are you being SARCASTIC?" he continued raging, which made Slade yawned.

"No, of course not, SIR"

"You are being SARCASTIC! WITH ME! YOUR MASTER! YOUR CHANCE OF LIVING WITH THOSE POWERS OF YOURS PERMANTNENTLY! YOUR ONLY HOPE!"

"Me? Sarcastic? Of course not, SIR" and then all of sudden the phone rang.

"I hate technology… why did you have to hook up that ridiculous thing that keeps RINGING?" his master muttered, smoke was literally coming out of his nostrils.

"Hello, this is the Devil speaking. Oh, it's you aga- I TOLD YOU NOT TO CALL ME THAT! I'M SLADE! SLADE! I am NOT overreacting, THOMAS… " Slade said, first yelling but then saying it bitterly sweet.

"Just like second graders…" his master said, rolling his eyes as he watched Slade pacing back forth, stomping his foot occasionally.

"I heard THAT!" Slade said, furious after slamming the phone down.

"Thomas-" Slade began but was cut off when his master said,

"Lucifer. AND YOU FORGOT SIR!"

Whatever! That asshole wants to know if Operation: Elecktra is a go."

"You can go tell Lucifer with that ridiculous ringing thing that we're busy planning it, no thanks to your lazy ass. AND YOU FORGOT SIR AGAIN!" his master said, in fact, quite calmly but then raged about the 'sir' situation.

"It's a phone. And I'll tell him that, SIR."

"Are you being SARCASTIC AGAIN?"

"Nooo, of course not, sir." Slade answered, smiling evilly

"Teenagers, such annoying teenagers…"

"I heard THAT! And I am NOT a teenager! I'm 45!" Slade yelled, as he walked away, but the last sentence got his master's attention.

"YOU'RE 45?"

"Oh shit…" Slade muttered as he dialed in Lucifer's number, listening to his master raging.

"45? YOU'RE 45? YOU FUCKING LIAR!"


Whoa, this was a semi long chapter so I'll stop here. Anyway… a small little trivia question to see if you've been paying attention:

How many shopping bags did Elecktra have in total?

You don't have to answer and there won't be any prizes, just a little math problem, I'm sure everyone reading this could add.

No, this is NOT a BeastboyXElecktra fanfic, they're just good friends! And Robin is acting a bit out of character so he's a bit… psychotic, but it's more fun to see the serious leader BEHIND the curtains (or television screen for that matter). And no, this is also NOT a RavenXCyborg fanfic! So PLEASE don't flame me about this or say ANYTHING in the comments like

"Oooo, Raven and Cyborg…"

Or

"Oooo, Beastboy and Elecktra…"

BUT opinions like:

"I think so-and-so should get together…"

OPINIONS LIKE THAT ARE FINE!

From the chapters before, so far it's

RavenXBeastboy

CyborgXBumblebee

RobinXElecktra

And a little RobinXStarfire

Anyhow… been REALLY busy doing schoolwork and I had tiny writer's block so this chapter took me three days to finish, the longest so far… and the whole autograph thing with Robin was random but a particular friedn wanted me to put her in... (cough) the brat from the comments (cough)

Well you have read, now REVIEW! (PLEASE!)
