"Star, I-is that you?" Robin said.
"Yes, it is me, friend Robin," Starfire said.
"How are you? Are you ok? Do you think you could come back? Do you even want to come back? Are they treating you nicely? Gosh! I can't believe it's really you!" Robin said.
"Ummm… ok, yes, I don't know yet, of course, yes, and it really is me! How do you want me to prove it to you? -gasp- I have Silkie," Star said answering Robin's questions and comments in order while lifting Silkie up so it (A/N: I don't know if it's a she or a he, so I'll say it.) could be seen in the screen so Robin could believe her. Silkie was wearing a lime green hat and had over four red shoes on.
"Well, I see Swamp Planet's got malls and shopping centers," Raven said.
"Oh, yes! I bought these for Silkie yesterday while I was in the mall of shopping. I miss the way we used to go to do the 'shopping of the windows', friend Raven," Starfire said referring to window shopping.
"Do they let you near their technological devices?" Robin asked, since he had an idea. If they do, Star can use one of the teleporters that Blackfire mentioned in our last argument to get back to Tamaran! Robin thought.
"No, they do not. They tell me that I cannot because it is strictly forbidden and if I mess with their technology, I will be harshly penalized," Starfire said.
"What kind of punishment?" Robin asked so he could see if it was really that bad.
"They still have yet to tell me," Star said.
"Well, do you know if the Swamp People are going back to Tamaran for a visit sometime soon? And by the way, do they speak Tamaran, or fluent English, at least?" Robin asked inquiring more information.
"Why do you ask me so much questions?" Starfire said annoyed. Hey! You ask me a lot of questions too about Earth and you don't see me complaining! Robin thought.
"Look, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but I NEED to know! This is a death-defying situation," Robin said alarmed. Everybody stayed quiet and stared awkwardly at Robin. Well, for me it is! Robin thought.
"Umm.. I believe they said something about going back to Tamaran because they forgot the Jewel of Charta. I do remember them mentioning going in around two weeks or so, and they speak all sorts of languages" Star said.
"Look, you HAVE to get on that ship going to Tamaran, then challenge Blackfire to a duel for the throne, once she sees you again, because I know she won't back down from it, but listen you have to win that duel for the throne. After you do that, unbanish yourself from all the planets, throw Blackfire in jail permanently, give your position to Galfore later on, and then we could go to Tamaran and pick you up," Robin said.
"Nice idea, Robin," Raven said.
"Yes! It is a rather nice plan, but what if I get caught?" Starfire said.
"We'll have to take the risk… It's all or nothing," Robin said pounding his fist on the nearest table he could find, while narrowing his eyes and saying, "And I better get it all."
"He found a whole 'nother obsession now," BB said. Robin turned to Beast Boy and said, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"That now you're…. afterStarfireandnotSlade?" Beast Boy said.
"I would say that," Robin said as he left the others with their jaw slamming the floor.
"Well, friends, I have got to go now. Silkie needs food, and I have no food to feed her with," Starfire said waving.
"Bye, Starfire," everybody, except Raven, said as static quickly appeared on the screen.
"Well, now we know Silkie's a girl," Raven said. After that, every one of the Titans went to do their thing. Raven went to her room, Cyborg went to have a talk with BB, Beast Boy stayed and played some video games trying to beat Cyborg's high score, and Robin went to the kitchen to fix himself something to eat.
"BB, let's talk for a moment or two, 'kay?" Cyborg said.
"K, Cy. What up?" BB said coolly.
"Do you like Raven?" Cyborg asked.
"NO! Not at all, why would you ask such a stupid question like that? Of course I don't like Ramen-- I mean, Raven!" BB refused, getting worried.
"Hold up, hold up! You mean to tell me all this time I thought you liked Raven, but you really don't?" Cyborg said.
"Ummm… no?" BB said pulling the collar of his shirt, hoping Cy wouldn't question him anymore.
"Hey, wait a minute! You're sweating! You're nervous! You were stutteratating! You really do like Raven!" Cyborg said noticing all of BB's faults.
"So what if I like her?" BB asked.
"Ask her out," Cyborg suggested.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't," BB said trying to have the element of surprise in his voice, but failing at it.
"Umm… how 'bout tomorrow at 5:30PM?" Cyborg said.
"Don't you think were taking this a 'lil bit too fast? I mean, what if Raven doesn't like me? What if she does go out with me and we break up? What then? Will we stop being friends? Ugh.." BB said.
"B-Man, you're taking this waaaay too seriously! Nothing will happen if you treat her right," Cyborg said in a brother-to-brother way.
"So tomorrow at 5:30PM it is!" BB brightened up and went back to playing video games.
"-sigh-Whatev, Beast Boy," Cyborg said going to Raven's room.
"-knock, knock, knock-" Cyborg knocked.
"Go away, Beast Boy," Raven said from inside her room, assuming it was Beast Boy.
"It's me, Rae," Cy said.
"Oh, Cyborg! Can I assist you in any way today?" Raven asked politely.
"Yea, today at the Infirmary, before BB asked you for some tea, BB was all sad," Cyborg said.
"And your point is…" Raven said.
"You threatened him," Cy said.
"And I do that all the time," Raven exclaimed.
"Hey, that's what I told the guy, but he wouldn't listen," Cyborg said.
"Ooook…?" Raven said.
"And then he said that this time, he really thought you were serious," Cy said.
"And you're telling me this…. Why?" she said.
"Well, I was gonna say something else, but I might as well get to the point, what do you feel for Beast Boy, Raven?" Cy popped the question.
"All I feel for Beast Boy right now, Cyborg, is malice," Raven said.
"Tell the truth," Cyborg said.
"That was the truth," Raven said. She was sweating. She only sweated when she was nervous.
"I WANT THE TRUTH!" Cyborg demanded, "AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW, YOUNG LADY!" he added, treating Raven like a young child and pointing at the floor with his robotic finger. Raven got a tad intimidated by this, so she decided to tell the truth.
"Well, if you really want the truth, here it is, Cy," Raven said, calling Cyborg by his nickname for the first time (A/N: And if it isn't the first time, oh well! I'm too lazy to check the other chapters!), "I really… do like Beast Boy. It's just that… I'm too scared of rejection to do anything about it. I'm a failure, Cy. A failure…. a nuisance," she confessed.
"Rae, you're not a failure, you're the most wonderful person I know. You're also not a nuisance, either, 'cuz if you were, how would we ever kick villains butts," Cy said.
"Thanks for saying that Cyborg, you make me feel…" Raven said, before blushing in an abnormal shade of reddish pink as she added, "Special."
"Don't mention it, Rae," Cyborg said. (A/N: OBVIOUSLY, Raven doesn't have a problem with Cyborg calling her Rae.)
"I have another question," Cyborg said.
"Okay, shoot," Raven replied.
"Hypothetically speaking, if BB were to ask you out, let's say, tomorrowaround5:30PM, would you say yes?" Cy asked.
"Probably so," Raven said.
"That's great! I'll go tell B-- I mean, that's cool… I guess," Cyborg said.
"Cyborg?" Raven asked.
"Yea," Cy said.
"Are we still hypothetically speaking?" Raven asked placing her hand on her hips.
"Uuuuuh… do you. Want the… ACTUAL truth or….. Just the straight up Truth?" Cyborg asked nervously fidgeting with his fingers and not realizing the choices he gave were exactly the same but worded differently.
"Straight up truth," Raven said.
"……." Cyborg took a long pause.
"Hurry up, Cyborg, 'cuz I'm not getting any younger," Raven said.
"No," Cyborg said, "PLEASE promise not to tell him! PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!"
"He'll ask me out in due course anyways, so I won't tell him," Raven said.
"What are you gonna do now?" Cy asked.
"I'm going to my room for five minutes, then I'll go to the main room (A/N: Or living room, same difference, right?) to read a book or somethin'," Raven said.
"Well, I guess I'll be going at this time, so I'll see you in two shakes of a lamb's tail," Cyborg said waving at Raven while dashed down the hallway. Raven went back inside her room and she hugged herself.
" "Two shakes of a lamb's tail"? How WEIRD! Even for me! But in spite of everything, I can't believe this is happening. Beast Boy is really gonna ask me out," Raven told herself.
"We're out of bread," Robin said.
"I'll put that on this weekend's grocery, since it's my turn and all," BB said.
"Make sure you get some lettuce and ham. No mustard this time…" Robin said remembering the obsession a certain redhead had over mustard.
"Dude! You are NOT gonna make me buy meat!" BB said.
"Must I remind you, Beast Boy, that I'm the leader and what I say GOES!" Robin said in a nauseatingly way.
"Fine! Fine! I'll buy your stinkin' meat! For the love of God!" he said, "Why are you in a bad mood? Five minutes ago, you were a happy-go-lucky person, but now you're acting all bitchy! I'm tired of your shit! I can't take it! Oh, I get it, you're in one of your fuckin' moods, like earlier this morning!""
"Leave me be, Beast Boy," Robin said.
"How about NO? How's that fit ya, le-a-der!" BB said taunting Robin, sticking his tongue out. (A/N: How…... Mature.)
"You've never had loved ones go away, have you? I can tell you haven't," Robin said, sitting down on the couch.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I have," Beast Boy said.
"Who?" Robin asked curiously.
"My pet hamster, Zip," BB said. Robin slapped his forehead with his hand.
"It's not the same , Beast Boy," Robin said, "It's just not the same."
"Yes, it is! It doesn't matter who, or what, it was! The only thing that matters was how much you loved, I mean, still love them!" BB said. (A/N: Wow, that's pretty smart… for BB, I mean.)
"And besides, you're going to get Starfire back anyways, and I'm not ever gonna get Zip back, am I?" BB added.
"Guess not. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've been causing you guys, I'm also sorry that I got on you guys' nerves, you were just looking out for me. I'll just go to my room now," Robin said.
"Hold on, I'm going with ya. After this morning's unpleasant incident, I doubt anyone's gonna let you go into your room by yourself," BB said. (A/N: No, don't think nasty like that!)
Cyborg was just entering the room.
"What's up, y'all? Where y'alls headed to?" Cy asked.
"Robin wants to go to his room, and I'm going with him," BB said.
"Nah, don't worry about it, BB. I'll take care of him, by the way, I need to talk to him, anyways (A/N: He really didn't.)," Cyborg said, "Why don't you go talk to Raven? I think she said something about taking a stride to the main room so she could read, which would be here, right now… down to this exact hour, minute, and second." And right at that accurate moment, Raven walked in with a thick book in her hands.
"I'll go do that," BB said. Cyborg and Robin walked down the hallway, when all of a sudden, Cy grabbed Robin by the collar and pulled him behind the doorway of the main room. "What are we doing?" Robin asked. "We're spying on Beast Boy, shhhhh... oh, and don't worry 'bout getting caught, I have tons of experience from watching you doin-" Cyshut up quickly. "Watch me do what?" Robin asked. "Umm... brush your teeth?" Cy said. Robin didn't care so he didn't do nothing. Besides, he had nothing to hide. (A/N: Or did he?)
"Hey Rae…." BB said then remembered to add, "Ven! Raven! Whoo… What's happenin'?"
Raven just looked at him, he was trying to lean back so he would look "cool". (A/N: Really! Who wouldn't have noticed that?)
"I'll take that as a "Nothing really," since that would probably be what you would say," Beast Boy said.
"Beast Boy, do you realize that every time I talk to you, I have to lower my IQ down by over 60 points JUST FOR YOU?" Raven said angrily while slamming her book shut.
"That was… pretty harsh," BB said, looking at the floor and his ear pointing down. Raven went to the kitchen and did her tea. Damn, how many of those dreadful cups of tea can a human drink a day? BB thought. Cyborg thought that this was a good time to talk to Raven about that sarcastic comment.
"I thought you said you liked BB," Cy whispered. Damn! I just blew my cover! Cyborg thought.Robin could be seen in the background trying to go to his room, but BB stopped him, and they started to talk.
"I do, but it's just that whenever I'm near him, I feel… so vulnerable, that's why I threaten him, and that's also why I'm more sarcastic towards him," Raven said.
"Well, be sure not to act that way tomorrow at 5:30PM," Cy said standing up and (finally!) taking Robin to his room.
