Skit Five: A New Kind of Training Program
It was a fresh new day in Jump city; birds were chirping, and everyone in the city was in movement. Even the Teen Titans were headed through the city for a new training program that they had decided to construct.
"Is this not wonderful!?" Starfire chirped.
"Can't wait to show you guys some of my wicked moves." Beast Boy chattered while changing into a few animals.
"Well, they won't be as wicked as Raven's." Cyborg joked.
"Do you two really want to see how wicked I CAN be?" Raven asked a little disgruntled.
Robin just grumbled and led his team onward. He never should of agreed to try this new training program that the others had suggested, but he did it just the same just to show he was a good kind of fella…and because the others, minus Starfire, had threatened him.
Robin sighed as they reached their destination, "Alright now, we're here to train; NO fooling around." He instructed as they filed in.
"Right, chief." Raven mocked as she walked in the gate, and nearly got ran over as Cyborg and Beast Boy past her in a rush.
"Dude this SO going to rock!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"Yeah!" Cyborg agreed as the two began to bust moves to music they could only hear.
Starfire walked nearer to them to hear their conversation better.
"….and then we can try break dancing!!" she heard Cyborg suggest.
She looked at her feet and then at her hands. What was this 'Break Dancing'?
"..Oh and don't forget—" Beast Boy was cut off by a blast at his side. And then he saw Cyborg fall down in much of the same way…with a green blast?
"'Dance', or I shall 'Break' you!" Starfire proclaimed.
Beast Boy and Cyborg both looked toward one another and then at Starfire before laughing as loud as they possibly could. Starfire just persisted to look embarrassed.
"Starfire, 'Break Dancing' is a FORM of dancing, not a game or competition of breaking someone else." Cyborg laughed out.
"Alright break it up now; Terra should be here soon with the equipment." Robin spoiled their fun.
"Aw, your no fun." Beast Boy replied while waving him off.
"We can still have fun!" Cyborg said, "C'mon Beast Boy, me and Raven here can throw you over the fence."
Beast Boy gulped and looked over at Raven whose eyes were now gleaming.
"AHHHEHEHEHAHHAHHHH!!!!!!! SHE'S GONNA BASH MY BRAINS!!!" Beast Boy yelled and ran smack into a pole just the same. (Got this quote parody from "Fear Itself")
Beast Boy looked quite dazed. He blinked his watery eyes and looked up into a pair of blue eyes. Terra was standing over him laughing and giving him a hand of concern. He accepted it and they all met at the center of the field.
"I think I got it all." Terra said opening the oversized bag and started to rummage through it. She threw out some random, irrelevant things, but then got to the main part, "Here they are; Juice boxes, Powerade, water bottles, some snacks, and a pair of underwear?" she continued holding each item out one at a time and having them magically land on the sidelines. But the last item she held in her hands questionably.
They all looked strangely at it; Terra just continued what she was saying, "Don't know how those got in there."
"Oh, those must be mine." Beast Boy joked trying to get the panties from her.
"LIKE I SAID: Don't know how those got in there." She continued before throwing them into the secret area of trash space.
"What about the rest?" Robin questioned.
"Oh, it's right here." She opened the bag fully and it revealed all kinds of food and drink products.
Robin slapped his forehead; Why didn't he get stuck with a more competent team?
"The equipment!?" he fumed.
"OOOOOOOOO," Terra replied and slapped her forehead, "That's in this bag." She said puling it out the middle of nowhere.
Beast Boy face-faulted, "Where did that come from?"
"It was in my pocket."
Everyone but Terra looked at the second humongous bag and then fell face flat.
"ALRIGHT," Robin said jumping back up, and brushing himself off, "now we train. GOT IT!?"
The others got up quickly and recomposed themselves. Terra proceeded to unpack the material, naming each one in turn, "Glove, bat, helmet, knee guard…" she continued way into next week while the others decided who would have what position.
"So have we decided on teams?" Robin asked the other four.
They looked toward one another and whispered a bit. Starfire grabbed Raven aside as well as Terra, "It shall be Boys vs. Girls."
"Good; We won't have Robin on our team." Raven said, in a somewhat cheering manner.
"And just what makes you think we want him on our team?" Beast Boy asked looking shocked Cyborg soon followed suit.
Robin just looked P.O.ed. They were now arguing over why they shouldn't have Robin on their team. Beast Boy coming up with a whole mess of stupid ideas including: "He sure acts like a girl with all those emotional control spasms!" and "Because."
"ALRIGHT!" Raven finally shouted, "ROBIN SHALL BE ON THE BOYS TEAM END OF STORY." And with that it was settled along with the poor unfortunate light posts nearby.
"Five-minute huddle!" Terra called pulling her two teammates aside.
"Are you sure you know how to play this game Starfire?" Raven asked.
"Oh, yes! I have studied this human game before. It is quite interesting."
"What I'm wondering is how were going to play a good game of Baseball with three players on a team." Terra asked.
"We're not called superheroes for nothing." Raven replied, as she looked over at the boys.
"I can't believe you guys were dissing your own leader like that." Robin complained, folding his arms.
"Dude I was just playing; Girls can be bossy but you're WAY TOO bossy to be a girl." Beast Boy snickered.
"Alright man, cut it out." Cyborg cut in, "Those girls are scheming and we have yet to get a plan. So, who's gonna play what?"
The girls had already decided on positions just in case they were deemed first on field. Starfire would play pitcher considering the way she could throw star bolts. Terra had wanted first base, but Raven took it instead. Terra had to guard both second and third.
The girls walked over to the boys who were still deciding.
"So, heads or Tails?" Terra asked in a challenging way.
The boys finished the last bit of talking, and Robin replied, "Heads."
Raven stepped up and threw the coin up. They all watched in anticipation as the coin flipped downward. It landed heads up. The boys cheered and ran to get the bats.
"Not so fast; One of you needs to play catcher, you can switch out later." Terra said tapping Beast Boy's shoulder.
The boys looked toward one another; Beast Boy slumped his shoulder and accepted the duty of being catcher.
The girls walked to their respected positions, while Robin walked up to the plate with bat in hand.
"Dude, you need a helmet; especially if Starfire is pitching." Beast Boy said from underneath his catcher's mask.
"I'll be alright; 'sides it'd mess up my do." He replied while gripping the bat tightly.
I hope I am doing this correctly Starfire thought before pitching the ball.
Robin looked ready and determined until he saw the ball was glowing in a green flame. He tried to duck but it just grazed the top of his head leaving a slight singe mark. Robin just blinked feeling the spot while Beast Boy rolled on the ground with laughter, "Told you!"
"I am sorry! You are undamaged?" Starfire called.
"I'm fine."
"Perhaps if I were to try again—"
"No that's ok; can you guys switch pitchers?" Robin asked feeling his singe mark again grimly.
Starfire looked down in shame and walked from the pitcher's mound. Raven took her place and Terra took Raven's place at first. Terra was secretly cheering; she didn't want to hurt Starfire's feelings.
Beast Boy watched as Robin walked up to the plate again this time wearing a helmet.
"Dude, I thought you said you didn't need one?"
"Things change."
Raven just smirked at Robin; this was going to be fun. She focused her energy on the ball and let it fly. Robin swung hard and it was a perfect pop-fly into center field.
"Go Starfire Go!!" Terra called from first base as she saw Robin quickly dashing towards her.
Starfire jetted for it and caught it in mid-air. Terra and Raven both cheered by jumping up and down. Robin slid into first base; he hadn't seen Starfire's catch.
"You're out." Terra said looking down on Robin.
"But I-" he looked toward Starfire who was still dumbly standing in the field with ball in hand.
"I am successful?" she asked with a hopeful tone.
"Yep, you whooped their butts already!" Terra cheered.
"Touchdown!!!" Starfire cried.
"Starfire, that's FOOTball." Raven said with a sweatdrop.
"Ohhh…" she said in an embarrassed manner floating back to her position.
Robin just slumped in defeat and walked back to the dugout. Cyborg grinned openly at him, "Don't worry Rob, I get a homerun for us."
Robin just sneered at Cyborg as he walked out to the plate.
"No helmet?" Raven asked in her normal, sickly, monotone voice.
"They don't call me the Metalman for nothing." He replied pointing to his skull.
"Alright, can't say I didn't warn you." She finished and looked back at Terra and Starfire and gave them winks.
"Oh dear, we'd better back up Starfire this is gonna be a high fly ball." Terra said in a jokingly manner before backing away from first base.
"Oh yes! We should." Starfire agreed, not really know what a high-fly ball is
but was backing away from her position just the same.
Cyborg stretched his arms out and then assumed the position of a typical batter.
"I'm ready Rae; you can throw the ball any time." Cyborg continued.
"I already did." She replied dimly almost looking as though she was to fall asleep. (She does that a lot…)
Cyborg blinked in confusion and looked around to see a completely knocked over Beast Boy.
"Dude, she SO got me." Beast Boy groaned, "That HAD to be intentional…"
Cyborg gulped hard; what if she got him instead. He steadied himself for the next pitch hoping that he wouldn't miss it again. Raven let the pitch go at a normal human speed. Cyborg just grinned but as he swung, the ball slowly curved past his bat and landed gently into Beast Boy's mitt.
"That slow enough for ya, Metalman? Or should I say Turtleman? You sure have the shell of a turtle." Raven insulted as she caught the ball.
"Ohhhh it's on now; and personal." He gripped the bat tightly.
Raven pitched it hard and Cyborg swung as hard as he could; it wasn't enough he missed and Beast Boy got smacked backward into the fence with swirly eyes.
"Nice try, Metalman." Raven mocked as Cyborg slumped from the plate.
Beast Boy just laughed and shed his catcher's clothing and threw it to Robin, "Hehehe, you may have been able to strike out the other two, but you'll be no match for Beast Boy." He said as he transformed into a kangaroo.
"Yep." Raven said letting the pitch go perfectly, and not altering it in any way with her powers.
Beast Boy swung and missed three times and Raven didn't have to do a thing. Beast boy just pouted, it wasn't fair. The boys and girls proceeded to exchange places. Starfire was up at bat first.
Starfire gripped the bat tightly and prepared herself as she watched Cyborg take the pitcher's mound, Beast Boy take second and third, and Robin take first. She waited and listened to the cheers that Terra was giving and the occasional, Terra-provoked Raven words of: "Go Starfire."
"Wait now; one of ya'll have to take position of catcher." Cyborg said tapping his foot impatiently.
Raven's eyes grew wide at the thought of being catcher. She quickly pushed Terra over to the plate and handed her the stuff.
"Here ya go!" She said in a tone that would put Happy Raven to shame.
Terra backed away slowly and put the equipment on; Apparently Raven didn't want to be catcher, "Good luck Starfire." She said as she took her position as catcher.
The pitch left Cyborg's hands in a fiery rush; Starfire swung hard, so hard she missed the ball completely and caused the bat to incinerate do to the intense fury she had exerted and the tight grip she had.
The next pitch was better; Starfire swung and hit the ball so hard that it went three fields away and hit some poor person in the head.
"I am victorious?" she asked.
"Not yet; Run the bases! GO!" Terra cheered.
Starfire set to running the bases as Beast Boy took to flying to the other field to get the ball. When he returned, Starfire had gathered up Terra and Raven into a big, death, group hug and was dancing while cheering. The other two were just turning blue and gagging do to lack of air.
"Dude, I don't think Starfire should bat anymore." Beast Boy said to the others, "That guy she hit from a few fields away has a concussion now."
Starfire looked both embarrassed and confused, "He is damaged?"
"Very much so; it's a head condition, Star." Beast Boy replied.
Starfire just watered up; "I shall try not to hit it so hard again."
"Look on the bright side; You scored the first run." Raven said.
"I suppose." She sighed.
Raven took her place at bat next. She gripped the bat lightly knowing she wouldn't need it. The ball scorched towards her. She readied her mind and focused on the ball. Suddenly it vanished. Raven set down the bat and walked slowly to first and then second and third until she was all the way home.
"Um, YOU MIND TELLING US WHERE THAT WENT?!" Cyborg said completely shocked into oblivion.
"Simple; I sent it into another dimension."
The guys just sweatdropped; "That is SO not fair! You guys can't use your powers!" Beast Boy whined.
"Why not? You used yours at bat." Terra retaliated.
Beast Boy paused a moment, "Well, it's not my fault you girls have better powers!!" he continued to complain and cried.
The girls smirked, "Guess it's my turn." Terra said handing the catcher's outfit to Starfire.
Terra gripped the bat and swung hard. The ball went coursing through to center field. Beast Boy missed it by a centimeter before grabbing it off the ground. He threw it to first to find Terra a few inches from the base. Robin was about to tag Terra when the base suddenly shot upward with Terra in tow.
Terra just stuck her tongue out at the bamboozled Robin, "You're gonna hafta be quicker than that!"
"But you're only on first, and the pitcher has the ball." Robin sneered.
"Not anymore." Terra said, her powers being unleashed.
The ball in Cyborg's hands turned to crumbles as he realized it was just a rock. Next the bases rose upward way out of humans' reach. She pulled up the center pieces between the bases and hopped from rock to rock until she was all the way home.
"Ok, so where's the real ball?" Cyborg asked very disgruntled.
Raven's eyes glowed white for a moment before a ball came hurling at him from a black portal, "I told YOU; I sent it to another dimension."
"Now that's just dirty."
"Girls don't have to play fair." Terra proclaimed.
"Oh yeah," Beast Boy snapped up, "well neither do boys!"
"How about lunch first?" Robin interrupted.
The others turned; the boys with looks of confusion, and the girls just wondering why Robin would interrupt training for something like lunch. Cyborg and Beast Boy pulled Robin aside.
"What are you doing man?" Cyborg asked.
"We have this thing in the bag right now and I can't believe I'm saying this but: forget lunch!" Beast Boy added.
"Don't worry; I've got a plan. We can talk about our strategy at lunch." Robin explained, and merely walked from the field.
The boys followed suit; the girls trailing reluctantly behind.
"He's planning something; I can feel it." Raven whispered to her friends.
The other two nodded. When they caught up to the boys, they had already turned the food bag upside down.
"Where's da food Terra!?" Beast Boy asked with a scared look.
Terra walked over to the bag and looked in to find it empty.
"Hmmm, did you guys check the refrigerator pockets?"
"Refrigerator pockets?!!!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Yeah, it's a brand new model. Look." She indicated a pocket about the size of a pen cap and pulled out a blanket full of food and drinks. She just grinned at her shocked teammates.
"Yeah, yeah! Now c'mon guys!" Beast Boy said grabbing some of the food and dragging Robin and Cyborg along.
"Definitely planning something." Terra restated Raven's previous comment.
The lunch proceeded as a normal lunch would. The girls had a lively conversation with just plan about everything. But the boys on the other hand, were scheming.
"So, it's all decided then?" Robin asked.
"Dun know what difference it makes; you decided everything anyway." Cyborg said dryly.
Beast Boy was falling asleep so he couldn't really answer. The boys finished the rest of their lunch and headed to the field. Cyborg pulled Robin aside for a minute, "Are you alright man? You didn't care about this when we started."
"Things change; I want to win. And we will." Robin answered coldly, and turned from him, little did he know that someone else had heard his bold statement.
"What's the matter Starfire?" Raven asked noticing her sad look.
"It is Robin. We are here to have fun and be cheerful, and all he care about is winning and being gloomy."
"Don't worry too much, Starfire. Robin always gets that way."
The second round of baseball had begun. (They weren't playing innings. It was highest score by day's end.) The boys were up at bat seeing as the girls had gone through the lineup already.
Robin just sniffed indignantly at the pitcher who just so happened to be Terra this time around, "I'm ready." He said as he gripped the bat tighter.
"Your call." Terra replied before unleashing the ball.
Robin swung hard, and CRACK! Robin blinked and few times before falling to his side silently. The bat was completely cracked in half and Beast Boy was completely knock over. Robin was just twitching slightly.
"I think I broke my arm…" he grumbled.
"That was WAY too hard to be a ball…" Beast Boy stated moaningly as he sat up, and then reached for the ball, "Hey, this is one of those rock balls of yours!!"
"Heh, sorry?"
"Robin!" Starfire exclaimed as the rest gathered around their fallen leader, "Are you alright?"
"I'll be ok…" he groaned and sat up.
"THAT IS IT!!!!" Starfire screamed, "YOU CAN NOT BE PART OF THIS TEAM!!!!" she continued and indicated Terra.
"It's alright Star, I'm—" she hushed him with a finger.
"YOU HAVE TO LEAVE BEFORE YOU KILL OFF MY ROBIN!!"
The others looked one with shocked expressions as Starfire held Robin tightly and glowered at Terra. Beast Boy stood up for the cause, "Alright Starfire, but let's vote first. Who wants Terra off the team?"
Only Starfire raised her hand but Raven looked like she was considering it.
"Now see; you jumped to conclusions." Beast Boy said in a stately, matter-of-factly way.
"Just be quiet; we want to play some more B-ball." Cyborg interfered.
Starfire had already dragged Robin off to the dug out to tend his wounds. Glaring at anyone if they dare came too close. As if she were a mother protecting her child. She certainly was acting strange.
"It's getting late; shouldn't we go now?" Raven half-whined; she wanted to meditate.
"Just one more hit." Cyborg said as he stood at the plate and placed a ball in his Sonic Cannon and blasted it so hard it left the orbit of the Earth.
Raven just looked up from the pitcher's mound, "You've got to be kidding."
"Better hurry up Rae!" Cyborg laughed as he ran toward first.
"I guess so." Raven said opening up another dimension and flying through.
"C'mon Raven!" Terra cheered from her first base position.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!! CYBORG'S GONNA SCORE A POINT!!!" Cyborg screamed manically as he ran toward home.
Within a few moments of saying so, the sky turned pitch black and a fierce wind picked up. Cyborg stopped in his tracks. And before him a dark portal appeared, Raven walked from it and tagged him with the ball.
"You're out."
Cyborg just looked pissed and walked from the field, "I guess we should go home now. Rob can't play and I can even get a home run sending it into outer space."
The Titans all filed out of the field and returned home. Occasionally looking back just to remember the fun time they had.
"Robin," Starfire started slowly.
"Yes?"
"May we do this again tomorrow?"
Robin just shook his head; She could be such a character some times…
Well that makes 12 pages… Ok so next up is One Pain and then I'm thinking Another Perfect Day. But don't ya'll fret, I've been getting a lot of reviews saying you want Rae/Cy fluff. Well, I guess I could have one, just look for it. One-Sided Fluff is up after Another Perfect Day. Enjoy.
