Starfire was busy cleaning out her closet to make room for the litter box and all the toys the shelter had provided her with. "Oh, Dally!" She cooed to the kitten, who was clawing his new scratching post. She picked him up and sat down on her bed with him on her lap and began to stroke him. He licked her hand and purred.
Beast Boy was cleaning, yes CLEANING, his room to make room for Bob's new terrarium. "Bob! No!" He shouted as the snake attempted to eat his socks out of the laundry bin. "I just picked those up!" He wrestled the socks out of Bob's mouth with great difficulty and threw them back in the laundry basket. He picked up Bob and set him on the bed, "Stay!" He told him.
Cyborg was in his room filling up Junior's cage with wooden blocks shaped like screws, wrenches, and such to chew on. Junior was watching Cyborg's hand come in and out of the cage with inserest. Suddenly, CHOMP Cyborg saw what happened, but it obviously didn't hurt him because he just started filling the rabbit's dish with food. Junior looked at Cyborg in confusion.
In his room, Robin was puppy-proofing his room. Tucking cords under furniture and duct-taping them down, picking up any stray things on the floor that the puppy would be tempted to chew on, and setting the puppy's toys and dishes out. Jay danced at Robin's feet, carrying a toy, wanting to play. He started jumping up and down in front of him and running in circles at Robin's feet. Robin grabbed the toy and playfully tugged. Jay let out a light growl and tugged back.
Meanwhile, in Raven's room, the shelter had given Raven absolutely nothing to take care of Rorek. Raven was laying on her bed reading, Rorek on the headboard looking over her shoulder. Rorek, not being able to see the book properly, hopped onto Raven's head. He rolled her eyes up to look at him, "What?" She asked him. He cocked his head at her. "You wanna read a book? Here," she surrounded one of her books in a black aura and brought it to the bed. She opened it to the first page. Rorek hopped down off her head and onto the bed. He looked at the book for a while, then used his beak to turn the page and continue reading.
A few hours later, the Titans were all in the common room with their new pets. Beast Boy and Cyborg were preparing to play a game of Mario Tennis on Game Cube. Bob slithered over to look at Junior. Deciding Junior wouldn't make a very good snack, Bob slithered back to coil up at Beast Boy's feet. Junior, deciding that this room was just boring, jumped up onto the couch next to Cyborg and went to sleep. Robin and Starfire were watching Jay and Dalengerk playing. Dally would take a playful swipe at Jay and run a couple feet, taunting Jay to chase him and Jay would do just that. Then Jay would stop and go the other way and Dally would chase him instead. Raven was, of course, reading her book, with Rorek perched on the back of the couch reading over her shoulder.
"Raven," Beast Boy teased. "You're bird is boring!"
"Like you're snake is any better?" She replied pointing to Bob coiled up at Beast Boy's feet.
Beast Boy looked down, "Well-- Well..." He couldn't think of anything, so he went back to playing his game.
Raven rolled her eyes and watched Jay and Dally play for a while. Rorek got impatient and tapped her on the shoulder to tell her to turn the page. Raven looked down, "Oops, sorry Rorek," She apologized and turned the page.
"Interesting bird you got there, Raven," Robin commented.
"Yeah, interesting and WEIRD!" Beast Boy added.
"Oh, sure," Raven said sarcastically, "I'd much rather have a giant hose."
"Hey! Don't insult Bob!" Beast Boy said dropping his remote. "He has feelings too!"
"You insulted Rorek!" Raven shot back. "I didn't hear you apologize!"
"Well-- I-- Err..." Beast Boy picked up the remote and started playing again.
Raven rolled her eyes and went back to reading.
By this time, Junior had woken up and was poking Cyborg with his nose. Cyborg mindlessly reached down to pet him and Junior stopped poking him for a moment, but as soon as Cyborg went back to his game, he found himself being poked again. He paused the game and looked down.
"Would you stop that?" He asked.
"A new pet needs constant attention Cyborg," Robin lectured. "You should know that."
"Yeah, I know," Cyborg admitted. "But can't I just play my game for a little while?"
"Cyborg," Starfire said. "On my home planet, the neglection of a pet results in a sentence to one month in prison."
Cyborg had a look on his face like 'O.o' and emediatly put down his remote, "Sorry BB, we'll play later!" and he ran off to his room.
"Is that true Starfire?" Raven asked skeptically.
Starfire grinned, "No, it is not."
