CHAPTER 6
The North and South Titans did so many things together that day. "Hah! I bet you can't catch me!" Protea yelled out to Beast Boy. "Really?" "Yeah!" The two changelings chased each other around the living room for the remote. Android and Cyborg are racing (in the game, of course). Raven looked a bit curious when she saw a book with odd letters. "What are those?" she asked Crow. "My private files containing the mysteries of Maredzenia, where I came from. It's mostly written about the Master of Maredzenia and the war between his kingdom and Gormetrius, the dark land," he replied. "You knew royal families?" Raven asked. "No. I'm a spy for my village. We take turns to spy on the Master of Maredzenia and his progress of war," Crow replied. The two aliens shared their knowledge of their own planets of origin. "You are a member of royalty in your home planet?" "Of course, friend Moondragon." The noise in the living room is enough to make some people leave. "But where did Robin and Dove go to?" Starfire asked. "Two birds of a feather flocking together to solve a mystery. They are very similar to each other and have the same attitude sharing their theories about the thing that happened today. Don't worry," Crow answered for her.
The Maredzenian was right. Starfire peeked into Robin's room. "I still can't figure it out. Why would a villain try to harm Crow, or all of us?" Robin questioned. "Even if the villain does exist, I think he came from the place Crow had been before coming to Earth. Maybe he had a deal to settle off with him. An unfinished deal," Dove stated an answer. "That time, we couldn't track the hacker. It must have got a stealth system of some sort," he said. "I don't really think Maredzenia has computer-jamming systems. This just didn't feel right. I've seen the time Terra throw Slade into the lava, but he couldn't have came to life, or could he?" she asked. "Is there anything else you know about Slade?" Robin asked suspiciously. "No," she replied innocently. The Boy Wonder walked out of the room. "Listen, Robin, I know we're not really famous at first and you didn't trust us. Please cooperate with us South Titans so that both our teams would achieve a mutual victory," Dove said. "Is that another cover-up?" he asked. "I only wanted to gain your trust. I'm honest in this and you still think we worked for Slade. Trust us," she said with sincere tone. He did stop in his tracks. Starfire went away swiftly and quietly. "I don't, no matter what you say or do," Robin replied. "Fine! No matter how much you do not trust us South Titans, we'll prove that one day we will defeat Slade, if he exists. I know the fact that people are suckers to trust each other, but we're not to be distrusted. Even if you're going to try and defeat us, we won't try to defeat you. I'm telling the truth, Robin," Dove said. "Sorry, Dove. My past experience has taught me not to trust anybody. One wrong move and you're done," he replied, walking out.
Starfire is in doubt. 'Is Dove lying to us all? She seemed to be so true,' she thought. "Hey Star! Want some tofu?" Beast Boy asked. He and Protea seemed to get along very well. "Forgive me, but I have troubled thoughts in mind. I have to go to my room," Starfire told him. "What is her problem?" Moondragon asked. "Dunno," Protea shortly replied. "Yeah, I won again!" "Aw, dang! I nearly got past you!" Android and Cyborg are still playing. "This doesn't look even close to being a party," Raven muttered. "I have an idea, though the consequences might be annoying," Crow replied. He found a thunder-clap rocket (these can be found in China and a number of Eastern countries). He had a plan to liven up the party even more, for everybody else's sake.
The rockets kept multiplying. "Where are Robin and Starfire? Boy, they've got to see all this!" Beast Boy cried out. The rockets blew up and multiplied again until they reached the number of 64 rockets, then all of the rockets blew up and lit up the whole tower in brilliant lights. "Awesome," Protea exclaimed. "Who prepared those fireworks?" Android asked. "I hate to admit it, but it's me," Crow replied, coming out of nowhere. "You made those fireworks add up?" Moondragon asked. Crow nodded, thinking of what kind of response he would receive. Every Teen Titan in the Tower (except for Starfire, Robin and Dove) cheered and exclaimed their thoughts, all at once. "It was so cool!" "Do it again!" they cheered. Raven and Crow glanced at each other. "I knew this would happen," he said. "At least they're having fun," Raven replied.
Dove heard those noises. She didn't go there to have fun with the rest. She didn't look happy. She hardly ever smiles. The noises she heard came from fireworks that filled the room earlier. She had no real friends. She knew that, but she had no idea that someone else knew it, too. Dove heard a different noise behind her, something like footsteps. She turned around as fast as lightning. Nothing was there. She then kept on walking down the corridor until she heard it again. "Who goes there?" she asked out loud. No, there was nobody. That is, until she saw what happens next.
