HOLA! This is Thugette90 AKA Christi! How are you all of my dear and loyal fans? I was trying to update like A LOT sooner with this chapter. I wrote SO much of this, it was incredible. Then…my computer froze. And I lost everything. Ugh. Yeah. I got some news people SO PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING…
"BROTHERLY LUV" WILL NOW BE POST-PONED (I have NO idea how to spell that) BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS STORY AND MY OTHER, "LEGEND CONTINUES' FOR A WHILE NOW, AND HAVE DECIDED TO TYPE OUT SOME OF THE OTHER STORIES I HAVE WRITTEN. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON TYPING OUT THE FIRST FAN-FIC I'VE EVER WRITTEN, AND ANOTHER ONE THAT IS A PERSONAL FAVORITE OF MINE. BOTH ARE AU'S AND I REALLY HOPE YOU CHECK THEM OUT. SO IT'LL BE A WHILE BEFORE I UPDATE THIS STORY. FIRST I WILL UPDATE "LEGEND CONTINUES", THEN I WILL POST A FEW CHAPTERS OF THE OTHER 2 NEW STORIES, THEN I'LL START ON THIS AGAIN. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS STORY IS NOT CANCELLED. THANKS FOR READING.
So yeah. Sorry guys! But I really want to get out some new stories. I've been reading a lot of fanfics lately. Probably about 5 stories everyday. I just love this whole fan fiction thing, and really appreciate you guys reading my stories. Thanks SO much you guys! YAY! OH! And guess what! I'm gonna be an Aunt! Yes, that's right! My 21-year-old brother (the fish-hook in eyelid guy) has recently knocked up his girlfriend while being stationed in Korea for the past 2 years (ARMY). So, in February, Christi will be an auntie! I am SO not looking forward to telling a lot of my female friends this news. Like 98 of my female friends (and some males too!) are like in love with him. They think he is like the hottest thing going…sickos. ANYWAYS!
ON TO THE REVIEWS!
Lunar Heart Crystal: LoL. Yeah, my brother was in SO much pain. Or so I've heard. I wasn't born yet. It was when my parents were dating. No problem with the dedication! I like to do one every chapter, and since you reviewed like 5 times in a row, I figured it might as well be you. Well hopefully you'll review this chapter as well!
StArFiRe GrAySoN: YAY! You reviewed!…AND updated! You rule! Thanks for all the compliments too! (officially feels loved). Great chapter by the way. Well just read MY review LoL. Thanks again for reviewing!
Srt: umm post what? LoL. Anyways, here's your update!
Gotham Girl Wonder: I've always loved your pen name! LoL. YAY! I'm very glad you liked it! It's not really that it's 'inspiration' really, it's more like I am NO GOOD at Rae/BB fluff! I'm terrible at it! It's because it is just SO amazingly hard to do ANY fluff with Raven cause then she'll always be OOC ya know? Well thanks for reviewing!
The lone psychopath: OMG I LOVE your reviews! They are so awesome! AND YOU QUOTED AGAIN! GO YOU! Yes, my friend found that quote quite amusing too LoL. She was saying it all day at my house. Glad you liked the fluff too. It's REALLY hard to do Raven fluff cause Raven is like the ANTI-fluff ya know? LoL. You can never have Raven in fluff without her being OOC. Yes, many people love the torturing of Robin I've noticed. Yes, there will be more! PLEASE REVIEW!
…Very interesting name LoL. I must say, it IS original. Thanks for reviewing!
MysterioAnonymous: …whoah. Just…whoah. You are…scary LoL. Yes Cyborg SHOULD die, and I WOULD kill him, if it wasn't for the fact that he's the only black guy LoL. REVIEW BITCH!
Sailor Neo: Yes, yes they are. I guess opposites DO attract. Well. Thanks for the review!
StarXRobin4eva12: AWW! Shucks! You probably say that to ALL the magnificently awesome authors LoL. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
Titanfan: yes, YAY indeed LoL. YAY for my lazy-ass actually updating LoL.
Akissmarina: if you wanna know who I'm putting with Raven, I'll tell you one thing…READ AND FIND OUT! MWAHAHA!
Xox.Annie Potter.xox: yes, I know, I know, Raven was TOTALLY OOC. It's like I don't know HOW to write RAVEN in FLUFF! Raven is like the anti-fluff LoL. So it's like if Raven is involved in romance she's not gonna be totally in character ya know? Well now that I got some Rae/BB fluff out of the way, she'll be a lot more Raven-ish this chapter if that makes any sense. LoL. The whole ONLY calling him Nightfire thing is really good advice. I figure everyone can call him Nightfire, except for Starfire, cause it's like I see her calling him 'Brother Ryan'. But that's just me. THANKS FOR THE ADVICE! VERY APPRECIATED! Well I hope you read what I wrote about updating this in the author's notes in the beginning of this chapter. But I'll start doing like re-caps in the beginning of each chapter on the previous chapter for girls named Annie LoL. No, it didn't seem mean at all! I consider someone saying I've approved as more of a compliment than an insult. So thanks again!
Sugarland31: ummm, if you mean post, "LEGEND CONTINUES", then GOOD news! I ALREADY HAVE! LoL. Check it out!
Darkangelchic: yes, father dis-likers unite! Yeah, they can REALLY suck sometimes, …well most of the times. LoL. No one has commented on that. Actually, no one really comments on my author's notes much, so it's nice to know someone actually reads them! Thanks a bunches! And I'm very glad you like "LEGEND CONTINUES" as well. That means a lot to me. Hopefully, you'll read the new stories I'm gonna post in a little while too. Well, thanks for the review!
Bananafritz: OMG! I love your name! LoL. Very original. Thanks for the compliments/review!
Chitoryu12: ya know, when I first got the idea for the whole "bird name" thing, I wasn't expecting it to become so popular! Yet, that turned out to be everyone's favorite part! LoL. Though, I am very happy it turned out that way. Thanks for the review!
Renayumi: actually I AM running out of bird names! LoL! You'll see that in a very…interesting scene in the next chapter. I found it hilarious personally. Hope you enjoy it.
Rose: HIYA ROSE! (tackles/hugs) yes, I must admit I kinda felt sorry for the waiter! LoL! Of course I'm not offended at your comment of me improving! I find it flattering. I take it as a compliment not an insult. I'm not one of those kinds of people. Oh, no, I would NEVER get offended by that! THANK YOU! If you wanna see something that really DID offend me, read my review response below yours. It kinda ticked me off…a lot. OMG! PEACOCK! THANK YOU! I was running out of names! LoL! As you will see in a very odd scene in the next chapter. Thank you so much for your support/review! MUCH LOVE!
Starangel4eva: ummm. I am a bit offended at this. I have not abandoned this fic (obviously). I have had A LOT to do outside the fanfiction community. I have psychiatry appointments every other week, a social life, went through a short groundation, and my brother is currently visiting me from Korea, whom I see (at most) a week a year. So, I am NOT gonna apologize for 'abandoning' this fic, but I will apologize for the long update. I am a slow updater, but that doesn't mean I 'abandoned' it. If you did not intend to offend me, I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but your choice of words was a bit harsh. Again, sorry for the 'long update'. I have not abandoned this fic. Please start choosing your words more carefully. Thank you
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6THIS CHAPTER IS DEDICATED TO RAVEN-FIERYBLACK AND XOX.ANNIE POTTER.XOX. THANKS TO RAVEN-FIERYBLACK FOR ALL THE ENTHUSIASM TOWARDS MY STORIES, AND THANKS TO ANNIE FOR THE DETAILED REVIEWS, AND HELPFUL TIPS TO IMPROVE THIS STORY. BOTH OF YOU ARE GREAT READERS. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT!

Chapter 6
The car ride home was abnormally quiet. Beast Boy hadn't said a word since leaving the park. That alone should tell you just how eerily silent it was. Raven and Beast Boy spent the whole time adverting each other's gazes, and failing miserably. Starfire sat between them and tried to cut the tension a bit by starting a conversation.
"So, Brother Ryan. Did you enjoy the park?"
Nightfire glanced into the rearview mirror at Raven and smirked, "Oh, I found a source of amusement."
Beast Boy glared venomously towards the arrogant alien. Starfire, oblivious to the conversations at the park, simply smiled in relief that her brother wasn't bored. Then, without warning, Cyborg slammed on the brakes causing everyone to jolt forward. Especially poor Starfire, who had neither a seatbelt or a seat in front of her.
"Oww." She said. Her voice muffled by the windshield.
A familiar tune rang out from Cyborg's communicator. He quickly answered it, already having an idea who it was.
"Cy, what's the deal?" Robin asked taking off his helmet. "I nearly rammed into you back there."
"Yes, friend Cyborg. I too am confused by your sudden actions." Starfire chimed in as she peeled her face off the newly cracked glass.
With a huge smile practically plastered on his face, Cyborg simply pointed to a gigantic metal building in front of them. It was two stories tall, and had windows covering most of the walls. A faint sound of techno music drifted to the car.
"Dude! I read about this place in the last issue of, 'Jumping City Gamers Monthly'. I didn't know it would be finished this soon." Beast Boy said in awe, drool forming on the side of the changeling's mouth.
Silence filled the car as the other three passengers waited for a continuation.
"Ok. And what exactly is it?" Raven said impatiently.
"The world's largest arcade--." Beast Boy began.
"GAMETOPIA!" BB and Cy screamed in unison.
The two immature teens raced out of the car and into the gigantic building. Robin hopped off the R-Cycle and walked in after them, still confused as to why the hell they were there in the first place. Nightfire and Starfire quickly joined them. Raven stayed in the car for a moment or two, before sighing in defeat and opening her door.
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6
'Gametopia' was something else. The walls were filled with videogame promotional posters, and blinding neon lights. Where as the rest of the room was covered in every arcade game imaginable, snack machines, and tons of gamers. Cyborg and Beast Boy just stared in wonder.
"Cy?"
"Yeah BB?"
"I think…we're home." Beast Boy said fondly as he wiped away a tear.
The two shared a brief emotional hug before Cyborg saw the master of arcade games…DDR. Beast Boy glanced over to whatever Cyborg was looking at, and his jaw instantly dropped. They looked over at each other as smiles slowly formed. They took one last admiring look before racing to the Godly machine.
Raven shook her head at the pathetic sight before her. 'How immature can you get?' Raven thought to herself as she sat in a lone corner chair and took out her current novel. She was only granted a few moments of peace however, before an overly confident nerd sauntered over to her.
"Hey there thunthine." His lisp-ridden voice cracked.
"Whathya doin'?"
"Just enjoying some nice SOLITUDE." Raven emphasized.
"I thee your reading." He said hooking his thumbs around his 'Star Trek' suspenders in an attempt to be cool.
"Yeah. It's very interesting. It's called, ' How to kill a pushy geek who doesn't know when to take a hint without his body being found'."
Fear struck the poor boys face as he audibly gulped. "Uh huh. Well I'll uh thee you later I guesth."
When the boy was out of range, raven smirked and said, "Men."
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6
Starfire gently touched a 'Mortal Kombat' arcade. She looked at the picture of a zombie Lu Kang with creepy white eyes, and fleshy wounds and thought to herself, 'I am fairly sure that is not healthy.'
"Robin? What are these arcade machines of which you speak?" she asked timidly.
"Just videogames Star."
Ryan looked around in disinterest. He failed to see what was so miraculous about these 'arcades'. Why would you travel all the way out here when you can play videogames in the comfort of your own home? But whilst he was stuck here, he might as well have a little fun humiliating the Titan leader some more. He turned to the Boy wonder and asked,
"Wanna play a game or two?"
Robin glanced around the room. Was Nightfire just talking to him? Okay, he was definitely up to something. Robin raised an eyebrow in suspicion. But he seemed sincere enough.
"Umm, sure?" he replied slowly. "Any preferences?"
"This machine will do." He answered with a shrug.
Robin gave an evil smirk. When it came to 'Mortal Kombat', no one had ever beaten him…ever. 'Like taking candy from a baby'. He thought.
Nightfire gave an evil smirk. When it came to videogames, no one had ever beaten 'Tamaran's Master of Gaming'…ever. 'Like taking florgas from a bumgorf.' He thought.
Robin inserted two quarters, and the epic digital battle began.
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6
It was nearly an hour after the Titans had arrived, and a massive crowd formed around the DDR machine, where neither BB or Cy had yet to lose. Cheering sections where created and endless shouts of "Go Beast Boy" and "Go Cyborg" could be heard throughout the arcade. On the opposite end of the room, another crowd had formed around the 'Mortal Kombat' arcade. The Titans certainly knew how to attract attention. It appeared that Nightfire and Robin were evenly matched and know doubt, were highly skilled. Starfire had retreated to Raven's side about 15 minutes earlier when she could no longer take the migraine-inducing cheers.
"Robin, I wish to leave now!" Star screamed as she flew over to the boy wonder.
"WHAT!" he asked, unable to hear her through the yelling.
"I SAID I WISH TO LEAVE NOW PLEASE!" she repeated in irritation.
Nightfire took advantage of Robin's distraction, and snuck in a few moves that won him the round, game, and nearly all of Robin's dignity. Nightfire cheered in victory,
"PEWNY EARTHLING! YOUR IGNORANCE AND LACK OF CONCENTRATION HAS LEAD TO YOUR DOWNFALL! DOWNFALL! MWAHAHA! MWAHAHA!"
"Umm. Brother Ryan, may we please leave now?"
"Hee hee. Yeah. Forgot about that."
Getting Cyborg and Beast Boy away from their match was sadly not as easy. The 4 tried everything. Bribes, trickery, even a couple of insults. But neither took the bait. So their last resort was physically dragging them to the car. Sure the 2 titans clawed, swore, and made a few comparisons between the other Titans' ancestors and random breeds of apes, but it was to no avail. Needless to say, the car ride wasn't as quiet as the previous one.
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6
"Dude. I am so hungry." Best Boy whined from his pitifully slumped position on the couch.
"Me too. But I'm too tired to go out. ROOOBBBBIIIINNNN!" Cyborg complained.
"What?"
"Cook."
"No."
"Please?"
"No!"
"PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLE—"
"FINE!"
Robin drearily searched the kitchen for any traces of food. No such luck. There was nothing. Nothing at all. Well, that is unless you count fungus or mold.
"There is nothing edible in the Tower." Robin sighed, returning to the couch.
The group gave a collect groan. Suddenly, Starfire was struck with an idea.
"I KNOW A SOURCE OF EDIBLE NUTRIENTS!" she cheered before dashing off to her room. She returned a second later with a large pink and purple box. (A/N: This is a true story right here. My friend Vaida and I actually did this yesterday…I kid you not.)
'Star? Is that an…easy bake oven?"
"You are correct friend Beast Boy! It will have to do. Besides,…IT IS SO FUN!" she giggled and flew into the kitchen to set up.
Now see, this would be weird in normal households, but for the Titans? No. Not really. The others quickly join her and began to make whatever Starfire had in the small white packets. Which consisted of sugar cookies. Lots and lots of sugar cookies. You could open a brownie box, and only find sugar cookies. Pretty soon, it was apparent that they had to deal with sugar cookies…Many many sugar cookies.
It actually turned out to be a lot of fun. It was almost as if the easy bake oven filled the air with immaturity. Even Raven was loosing up and creating a few sugar cookies herself. The 6 spend the next one and a half hours acting like the kids some of them never had a chance to be. Starfire looked at a small packet of sprinkles curiously.
"Tell me friend Robin. What are these small mult-colored particles?"
"They're called sprinkles. You put them on top of dessert kind of stuff."
"OH!" she giggled happily as she poured the entire packet of sprinkles on her very small sugar cookie.
"DANG STAR!" Cyborg laughed as he caught sight of the extremely colorful cookie. "That thing looks like it got slapped by a rainbow!"
The kitchen erupted in laughter. It was amazing. No one fought, argued, or anything for the rest of the evening. All thanks to God's greatest creation and my personal friend…sugar.
CHAPTER6CHAPTER6CHAPTER6
The morning after was normal enough. Well, as normal as you can get when you're a teenage superhero that lives in a giant 'T'…yeah. Beast Boy and Cyborg played Mega Monkeys on the couch, Raven quietly meditated in the confines of her room, Star was busy making breakfast in the kitchen (she'd become quite the cook over the past few months), and Robin trained vigorously in the gym/dojo. Nightfire was walking around the tower in attempts to get better acquainted with his new surroundings. He passed by a rather large steel door that was opened ever-so-slightly. He could make out the faint sounds of grunting and panting.
He opened the rest of the door to see Robin practicing some Earthen martial arts on a red punching bag. Nightfire rested against the doorway.
"Heya there Peacock." Nightfire smirked.
Robin broke out of his trance at the arrogant Tamaranian's voice. Cringing at his choice of names, he replied,
"Hi. Is there something I can help you with?"
'I was just watching your strange techniques. On Tamaran, such maneuvers would be considered…amateur."
Now, Robin was fed up. Nightfire had definitely crossed a line. Some one had to teach that cocky bastard a lesson.
"Look pal! If you think you are just SO superior, prove it. Right here. Right now. Put up or shut up." Robin fumed, getting into a fighting stance.
Nightfire heartily laughed. Who did this punk think he was kidding?
"Alright, look Ro—" he began before realizing his slip up.
"What was that? What were you about to call me? Was it..i dunno…Robin?" Robin smirked in victory.
Nightfire became quite flustered as he racked his mind for more bird names. 'Bird names, bird names, bird names' Nightfire repeated to himself. (A/N: I actually am running out here people, sorry LoL.)
"Ha! Admit it! You DO know my name! Say it!"
"Never." Nightfire spat evilly as he still struggled for another bird name.
"Say my name."
"No."
"SAY MY NAME."
"NO."
"SAY. MY. NAME!"
"NOOO!" Nightfire screamed angrily as he lunged towards the boy wonder. The two wrestled on the ground. Robin had the Tamaranian pinned for a moment or two, and continued their chants of,
"SAY MY NAME!"
"NEVER!"
Cyborg entered the room. His eyes bulged and mouth dropped at the very…odd scene.
"SAY MY NAME!"
"NO!"
"AHEM!" Cyborg interrupted a while later.
The boys paused instantly at his voice. Cyborg stood there quietly, trying to suppress sidesplitting laughter.
"Umm…am I interrupting something?"
It took the two a while to comprehend the meaning of Cyborg's words, but when they did, they were thoroughly disgusted.
"UGH! Dude! That is the wrongest thing ever!" Robin said, nearly gagging to death.
Cyborg just laughed it off and left the room. On his way out, he called to them.
'Breakfast is ready. Unless you two ladies, wanna finish where you left off!"
Robin and Nightfire gave looks of complete and utter terror. Robin shook his head in disgust and said,
"Ya know, Cyborg really scares me sometimes."
"For once Bird Boy, I totally agree."
