Shalome! (That means 'peace' in Hebrew…i think...) NO, I'm not Jewish…I'm Christian…I just like the word Shalom! (No offence to Jewish ppl! I have many Jewish friends! i luv u guyz!) XD Anywho…next chapter! -:-grins like a deranged butterfly-:-…(what's a deranged butterfly?) Grrrrrr school's back in session…more broken pencils over Red X/variable 'x' in first period math…the test today was SO hard…sigh…listening to Switchfoot! Dare you to moooove…i dare you to moooooove...i dare you to lift yourself up off the floor...I love that song…a lot…XD -:-screams as ppl throw things at her for bad singing-:- Oh yeeeeaaahhh…I had a note for all you pplz…

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE FIC: Robin isn't DDRing against Scorpio to WIN Starfire, it's just to prove that he's not a coward. I wouldn't have Robin get Star in such an…icky egoistic way! What kind of maniac do you think I am? Thad just be wrong! I may run into walls and talk to my dear pillow when I'm bored and write "This is my left sock" all over my left sock and "This is my right sock" all over my right sock in Sharpie, but I'd NEVER have Robin get his dear Starfire by winning at DDR!

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE FIC: Yep yepperz, Cy doesn't have a very big part in this. At all. Fear not though, for our young half robot will be one of the key players in the SEQUEL! That's right, the sequel! -:-bows-:- Weeell that's all for now.

Disclaimer: -:-sighs dramatically-:- I don't own the Teen Titans…nor do I own the Lysol company…yet (lysooool! sorry, inside joke gone wrong...).

Dedication: To you, the readers! (I don't say reviewers cuz some ppl don't review, and I appreciate both readers and reviewers the same, though I do LOVE to read what you guyz have to say!)

Time to staaaart...are you ready?

"Scorpio, are you out of your MIND?" Robin's eyes were wide as the Tamaranian dragged him into the arcade.

"On the contrary, I'm quite sane, thank you." Scorpio grinned up at the twin machines in front of him.

"We can't just bust into an arcade and DDR each other to death!"

"Why ever not? I've been lead to believe that, on your planet, if you have enough quarters, you can do anything in a place like this. Empty your pockets mortal. It's time we dueled."

"…No…frikin…way." Robin pulled his arm away and began walking towards the exit.

"What's wrong? Are you too scared? Frightened, perhaps, that I'll win? That you, the great Boy Wonder, might lose? You are quite the coward…" These words slowly sunk in. Robin turned.

"You're on, alien boy."

"Robin!" Starfire's eyes were wide as she emerged from the crowd. She caught his eye from his place in the DDR terminal and he gave her a weak smile.

"Dude!"

"Robin, what're you…" Raven and Beast Boy appeared at Starfire's left. To them, he merely shrugged.

"Mortals of the arcade!" Scorpio addressed the throng of onlookers with open arms. "I see that you have gathered to witness the destruction of your dear superhero, Robin." A few gasps could be heard.

"Robin won't lose!"

"Yeah, Robin's the greatest!"

"He's gonna kick your ass blue boy!" Assorted voices floated from the group, mostly coming from Robin-Obsessers.

"Ahh, my dears, wherever in that crowd you all may be, I'm afraid that you're about to be disappointed." Scorpio smiled maliciously and turned to Robin. "Are you ready?"

"Whatever…" Robin shrugged.

"Commence in the inserting of the quarters!" Scorpio got more that a few odd looks for that announcement.

The dance terminals sprang to life. Immediately, the two began to sway to the music that was pumped from the speakers, pressuring each correct foot pad. The pace slowly sped up, and soon the two were hopping around like maniacs.

"So," Scorpio stole a glance at his opponent. "Are you tiring yet?" He never missed a beat.

"You wish." Robin's mind, however, was scrambling. Which button came next? Oh right…forward, forward, left, back, right…When was the last time he had played this game anyways? It must've been…what, four years ago? Certainly while he was still at Batman's side…

"Hey Rob! When'd you get so good?" Beast Boy clapped as the Boy Wonder cleared another round. While the Changeling meant it as a rhetorical question, Robin grinned as he remembered the answer.

But then again, who would believe him if he said that an eighty year old butler named Alfred could kill him at this game on a daily basis?

Starfire stood in the foreground, watching the competition intently. Her eyes constantly jumped from Scorpio to Robin, wondering how people could keep up with such a fast paced activity. People around her cheered and booed, for who, it didn't seem to matter. Suddenly, an arm encircled Starfire's slim waist.

"Hellooo Hottie." The alien girl jerked around, a thirty-something year old man grinning stupidly at her.

"Please do not touch me." Starfire pushed the man away.

"Ohh, we got a feisty one. I like that kind of girl." The man was practically drooling. "Are you the type of girl who likes to party with older men? I'll give you one hundred for the night."

Starfire looked completely perplexed.

"Look, girlie, just forget it and come with me." His hand grabbed her arm and the man began to pull her to the exit with a frightening amount of strength.

Robin had to smile as he leaped around and crushed the pads under his steel boots. All those hours of training were paying off. He hadn't even broken a sweat.

Then again, neither had Scorpio.

Backs toward the audience that surrounded them, their feet flew across the pressure pads at an alarming rate. Spinning around again, Robin was greeted with a sight even more alarming than the speed at which his feet were going. Some strange man was forcefully pulling Starfire from the arcade and no one seemed to notice. Starfire herself had obviously not grasped the matter at hand or she would've used her alien strength by now…

Without a second thought, Robin blindly soared off the dance terminal.

A REALLY short chapter! Sorry, I'm grounded and my mom took away my notebook, so this is the best i can do for now. I hope you guyz dont mind! PLEASE dont kill me. My next chapter will be pretty short as well...but after that you'll get a REALLY LONG chapter so...yeah. sorry!

Love,
