As promised, I am continuing. I hope to add about 2 chapters a week, if I can.
Thank You, everyone who reviewed. Beast Boy is pleased, even if there were only two of you. If my internet wasn't on the fritz, I would mention you by name.
Disclaimer: We all know I don't own Teen Titans, but I hope to own the DVDs soon.
On with the show!
Home Sick
It was about 2 weeks later. Beast Boy an Cyborg were on the game Station as usual, while Raven tried to read.
"Could you two please keep it down?" She asked, without any real hope of a positive response.
Just then, Starfire entered the room. Something was strange about her.
A casual "Hello, friends." was all she said as she floated to the fridge.
Raven noticed, and said. "Hey, anything wrong, Star? Did you and Robin have some sort of arguments?"
"Oh., no Raven. Robin is simply wonderful!" Starfire responded, with much of her usual cheer.
Having found what she was looking for, Starfire floated out of the room.
"Hey! Either of you notice something wrong with Star?"
Cyborg and Beast Boy turned around.
"Yeah, she seems like she's been…um?"
"Moping." "Yeah, moping."
"So…what are we gonna do about it?" Raven asked the two boys.
Beast Boy spoke up, "Let's tell Robin. He'll think of how to cheer her up!"
Raven replied, "No. He'll think its his fault, and I'm pretty sure it's not. There's no telling what he would do."
Cyborg had an idea. "Why don't we cheek he diary? I'm sure if anything's buggin her she'd write all about it."
"Good idea, Cy." Raven said approvingly.
"Dudes, one question. How do we get it?" Beast Boy asked.
"Simple. We just have Robin take Star out, and we sneak into he room." was Cy's reply.
"Excellent. Let's get started." Raven said with a smile.
"It would be fun. You three think you can handle things for a few hours?" Robin appreciated his friends offer to watch the tower while he and Starfire went out. Of course, he had no idea why the three would seem so happy to get him out.
"Starfire, let's go!"
"I'm coming, Robin!"
Cyborg whispered to Raven, "At least she's still happy when she's with him."
"Then it must be something else."
As the door closed, Beast Boy leapt up from the couch.
"Let's go! We won't have forever!"
Cyborg punched in the security override code, and Starfire's door slid open.
"So. Much. Pink. Let's not waste any time in here." Raven commented.
"Here it is, Ya'll!"
"Open it! Open it!"
"Give me that." Raven ordered. "As the only women on this team, I should be the one to read it. Let's see. Dear Diary, Dear Diary, um….Bingo!"
"What's it say?" Cyborg asked.
"I'll read it." Raven started:
Dear Diary:
I am so glad that Robin and I are to be married. But I feel like something's missing. All my life, I always thought of the grand ceremony that I would have on Tameran. I am glad that I will be with Robin, and Earth is my true home, but I can't help but think of what I'm missing.
"Oh." Beast Boy said quietly. "But wait. Wasn't she gonna have to marry that gurgglespletch thing on Tameran? Why does she miss that place?"
Raven sighed. "Beast Boy, she doesn't miss that thing. She was raised to get married. Naturally she would have dreamt about it."
"So," Cyborg said, "Now that we know what's up, what are we going to do?"
Raven replied, "We'll, I've got an idea."
Raven filled the boys in on the details of her plan.
"And if we get to work now, it will be ready when they get back."
"Awesome!" Beast Boy declared. With that, the three got started.
"Boasting signal strength…Got it!"
"Good work, Cy. Ok, here we go."
Raven waited for a few moments, then began.
"Hello. I am Raven of the Teen Titans, and would like to speak with the Grand Ruler about Princess Starfire."
"Please hold. Your request is being processed."
"Even across three galaxies, being put on hold is just as annoying." Beast Boy remarked.
"Cyborg, get Star and Robin back here. If this works, we'll need 'em soon."
"Oh Robin, you dance very well!"
"Maybe, but it's only fun because I'm with you."
The familiar tone of the Titans communicator rang out.
"Robin here."
"Yo, Rob, I'm sure you're enjoying yourselves, but we need you back here pronto."
"Ok." Robin closed the communicator. "Star, they need us back at the tower."
"Oh, I hope nothing bad has happened to our friends!"
"And so, If you could talk to them, I sure it would help."
"I would be glad to help my bumblegorf!"
"Thanks."
"Raven, they're here!" Beast Boy called out.
"Let's go to the training room."
"Aw, man!"
"Rae's right. I'm sure they'll want to be alone."
The three Titans had just arrived in the training room when they heard a squeal from the main room.
"Galfore! How, why are you here?"
"I just wanted to see how you were doing." he lied.
"Oh! My k'norfeka! I have such wondrous news! Robin and I are to be married!"
"Really?"
The conversation continued for a few hours. Beast Boy had grown impatient, and was amusing himself by trying to make Raven smile. He changed into a monkey, and swung across the room.
"Come on, Rea! Everybody likes monkeys!"
"Not me."
"Ok. What do you like?"
"Quite. Silence. And maybe some tea."
Beast Boy growled. "Great. Here I am knocking myself out, and you won't even give me a chance!"
Cyborg was beginning to tire of his teammates' squabble when Starfire burst in, dragging Robin behind.
"Friends! I have most glorious news! Galfore will come to Earth to attend our wedding!"
"I'm glad to hear it." Raven said without emotion.
"Dudes! I'm glad that's-" Beast Boy began when Raven covered his mouth with her hand. "Mumph mummphk mhhhhhhhh!"
"Beast Boy? Were you gonna say something?" Robin asked as he noticed the strange muffled cries of the changeling. Raven glared at her small teammate as she realized his mouth.
"No." he said quietly, as he glanced over at Raven.
"Good. Because I'm buying pizza."
"Oh! May I have the mint frosting and bananas?"
"Sure, Star."
"Tofu!"
"8 meat!"
"If you two start that again, you'll be suspended from the ceiling until next Tuesday."
Thanks for reading! Sorry for the short chap. The next one should be better. And Review! It will make Raven smile. Just a little.
