GAHH! Second to last chapter…this is really making me sadder by the day…Well…um…I won't keep you waiting, seeing as how I got grounded for another week AGAIN and that's why I took so long with this chapter…I had it finished like…a week and a half ago I swear…. -snifflesob-
Dedication: To Queen-of-Azarath, for being one of my BEST fanfiction friends. She's been reviewing like…everything I've written since forever, and she's the one of the coolest people you'll ever know. Queenie's just the shit. You all know it. If you haven't read her fic Normal Teenage Life, then you have NO idea of what you're missing. Go there. Now. Read mine later. Luv ya chica!
Disclaimer: NO, dammit, NO. I don't own them, now GET OFF MY BACK ABOUT IT! Oh, and I don't own…um…Eminem's song, Just Loose It. I don't own Brittany Spears' song, Crazy.
"Die…" he whispered, and brought the knife down quite as hard as he could…
A purple booted foot connected with Scorpio's stomach, sending him flying. He crashed through the window, the shattering sound jolting Robin from his sleep.
"What-?" Starfire landed on the ground, grabbed Robin by the shoulders, and hugged him affectionately.
"I now know of my sin, and for it I am truly sorry." The girl then flew out the window and jetted upward towards the roof, where she had seen Scorpio heading seconds before.
Robin, initially stunned beyond all comprehensive thought, stared at the empty expanse that was once his window for a full five minutes then stumbled to the desk near the back of his room and hastily jabbed the Titans alarm button.
"…and that's why I'm like this." Beast Boy pointed to his skin and shrugged.
"Because a green monkey bit you?" Raven couldn't hold back a chuckle. "You call that suffering for the acquisition of your powers?"
"Hey, the bite hurt, okay?" The two had been talking for hours now, simply enjoying each other's company and arguing slightly on the side. They had braked to eat a good fifty minutes ago.
Suddenly, the entire room flashed red, the piercing shriek of a siren going off as well.
"The Titans alarm!" Beast Boy jumped up, eyes wide. "I wonder what's going on…?"
"Only one way to find out…" Raven rose and crossed the room to a small computer on one of the side walls of the living room, as the main screen was still rendered unusable. "Ugh…you'd think that the flashing lights would be enough to get our attention. Cyborg just had to add the sound effects didn't he?"
"Hey…Robin signaled the alarm!" Beat Boy tapped the screen with the tip of his finger.
"So he did…" Raven's brows furrowed. What was going on…? "Oh, Azar…Beast Boy! Turn on that television again! The one with the surveillance hooked up to it! NOW, Beast Boy!" The Changeling scurried over to the makeshift fort that neither he nor Raven had felt the need to take apart at the time. He gasped when he saw the image on the screen.
"Raven…Raven, get over here…whatever ideas you may have had…I think you were right."
"I see you have a soft spot for the masked mortal." Scorpio grinned, standing at the center of the tower roof. "But I can't let him have you. Not while I'm still around."
"Then go home! You have caused enough destruction as it is!" Starfire was a mere ten feet away, her eyes cold with an unusual look of hatred.
"How so? I don't see the city lying in ruins." Starfire swore; in English surprisingly.
"That is not what I meant and you are surely aware of that!" Scorpio dodged a bright green starbolt that Starfire had chucked in his direction. "You dare attack my friends…my home…and attempt to assassinate the one I care for in a way so different than I ever have before?"
"My dear, if you consider that 'enough destruction', that you have no idea of what you've gotten yourself into. And besides, you have cared about someone before in the way you care about Bird Boy now." Scorpio began to stride toward the infuriated Tamaranian princess. "Me." He smirked.
"I never loved you. You forced that love upon me when I was most vulnerable, just after your Taurus' death."
"Hmm, well, perhaps you're correct, but that is not the issue here. You see, if I can't have you, then no one can. In fact, if we're not together, I see no point in your existence either." Scorpio coolly stepped out of the way of another green starbolt, continuing across the tower roof. "Temper, temper, Starry. You're getting just as bad as my sister was."
"Do not…" Starfire threw a starbolt. "come near…" And another. "me…" A final starbolt, causing a blast and massive clouds of smoke. Scorpio had disappeared from view.
"You'd do well to learn to watch your back." Came Scorpio's voice as he fell from flight behind Starfire and bound her fists at her lower back with some strange material. He then tossed her aside, grinning. "Blackfire had told me that she'd always been the better fighter, but I had no idea you'd be this bad-UGH!" Scorpio hit the ground, taking two green eye beams to the ribs. Starfire broke free of her bindings with a good amount of effort, fists and eyes bright green and aglow.
"I am a better fighter than you will ever be."
"Gone through your transformation, then? Brilliant." Scorpio grinned and got to his feet. "Fight, my dear. Fight for your life." Blue and green starbolts and eye beams flew madly, exploding everywhere atop Titans Tower. Had you been in Jump City and seen the sight, you would have thought that your local superheroes were experimenting with fireworks, and badly so.
Though Scorpio was grazed by several well aimed shots, he somehow managed to land a few brutal hits himself. Starfire collapsed upon taking three in the chest at once. Though she struggled, the Tamaranian princess was in too much pain to rise. Her eyes closed as she fought for consciousness.
"Weak." Scorpio smiled as he heard neared the badly injured Starfire. "Oh? What's this?" The alien boy bent down to Starfire's level and examined Starfire's lower neck. Glittering in the moonlight was the silver necklace she had gotten from Robin. "A gift from a lover? Engagement is a rather big step though, wouldn't you say, darling?" Starfire merely groaned, losing the battle to stay awake. Scorpio's pale fingers lifted the necklace from the girl's skin, then ripped it from her being, causing her to cry out in pain as the thread of silver snapped on her neck. "I'll give you one last chance, my dear." Scorpio conjured a particularly powerful starbolt in his hand, which could easily mean the end for Starfire. "Say you'll love me and I'll allow you to live. We'll return to Tamaran together and have a joyful life for as long as we live. You'll even get to keep the necklace." Scorpio grinned ruthlessly. "Refuse me, and I'll make certain that you and everyone else in this blasted tower will never see the light of day again. I'll grieve you and you alone, of course, believe me I shall. Unfortunately for you, it causes me even more pain to see your heart go to anyone else other than me." Starfire gathered all the strength she had left to utter a few choice words, the fury in her eyes backing them.
"Have you never heard the earth expression if you love, then let go? You are merely a selfish, traitorous, worthless piece of horse crap!" Starfire exclaimed.
"…Now where have I heard that before?" Scorpio paused to consider, then threw his head back and laughed. "But of course! How could I ever forget Taurus' favorite insult? She'd hurl it at anyone she found particularly aggravating." The Tamaranian boy's gales subdued. "Borrowing sayings from my dear sister now? Then again, there were loads of people who stole insults from my lovely, witty, dead sister." Scorpio grinned as Starfire winced at his harsh and blunt words. "Interesting change of tactics, though a wise one considering the condition you're in. Well, if we're going to spar verbally, at least let me have my go." Scorpio stood, towering over the half conscious and crippled Starfire. "You ripped my heart out by leaving me and tore it apart by falling in love with a mere mortal."
"You…" The princess glared and actually managed to sit up as an unplanned string of words spilled from her mouth. "YOU BROUGHT YOUR OWN FATE UPON YOURSELF, BY ENGAGING WITH MY SISTER!"
"Shut up, you callous bitch." The blue starbolt in Scorpio's hand came closer and closer to her chest. "Say you love me." The starbolt was not directly under Starfire's chin. "SAY IT! Beg for my mercy!" Starfire would have cried, but she had long ago run out of tears to be shed.
"I am not in love with you. I never have. I hate you with the fire of a thousand suns!"
"…Very well. Have it your way. Just know that though I shall kill you here and now, I'll never stop loving you darling." Scorpio grinned with twisted evil in spite of his words. "Goodbye, Starry…"
Cyborg sighed. The girl sitting across the table from him was the most bizarre person he'd ever met, and not in a good way. Her hair was blond but accented with a funky green color, and her voice was obnoxiously high pitched.
"So…you obviously live in, like, Titans Tower."
"No kidding…" Cyborg muttered. He managed a forced grin.
"Like, cool, dawg!" The half robot shuddered. What was with this mixture of prep-speak and gangster-drawl?
"Yeah…um…where do you live Trista?" The perky blond laughed and Cyborg couldn't help but think of a braying donkey.
"In the ghetto of Hawthorne Heights. You know, down by the country club." The cybernetic gaped at his date. Hawthorne Heights was the richest district in Jump City. There was no ghetto of Hawthorne, especially not by the country club. "God, you should like, see my homies and I. We're all like, down with it when we're listening to our ipods…"
"Great…"
Cyborg had known that this date would be bad news. Why was it that he never listened to himself?
"Get off of her!" For the second time that night, a booted foot connected with Scorpio's body, sending him flying, as well as the starbolt he held. It hit Robin with force and the teen winced as he was blown in the opposite direction.
"Robin!" Starfire jolted upwards despite her injuries. Every joint and limb in her body screamed in pain and protest against the movement, but the girl ignored them. The only thing she could think about was getting to the Boy Wonder.
"Starfire." Raven's petite figure took shape before her, her outstretched hand preventing the Tamaranian from moving any further. "You're weak."
"I do not care! I must-"
"Starfire! You're half dead."
"But I-"
"Look, Robin knocked Scorpio out cold and Beast Boy's standing ready. I can feel that blond jerk's consciousness coming back as we speak."
"Then I must fight him! This is my fault, and I shall-"
"Starfire, I know…"
"And Robin-" Raven put a hand over her friend's bleeding mouth to quiet her.
"Robin's fine. Not too much damage done. You, on the other hand, are a wreck. I'm surprised you're strong enough to put up such a protest against me." Raven sighed, kneading her forehead with her free hand. "This is going to be a little strange, but if you truly wish to fight, then I'm going to lend you some of my power, as I seem to be overflowing with it as of late." The empath cast a fleeting glance at Beast Boy, who was watching the still limp body of Scorpio intently. "It should fix you up temporarily, if you're really so set on beating the crap out of your ex over there. Not that I'm complaining that you wish to do so. There is a possible side effect that you need to know about-"
"I do not care about these 'side effects'. I am feeling faint again…and…I must take care of Scorpio myself. I am the reason he is here, and I shall be the reason he will leave." Starfire's eyes were bright with a mixture of defiance and pain.
"Okay, okay! Sorry…" Raven closed her eyes and placed a palm on Starfire's forehead. Black veins of energy crawled down the empath's arm and sunk into the alien girl's head.
"Rae! He's-" Beast Boy's warning was not yet completed before a loud explosion sent him flying off the edge of the tower.
"Beast Boy!" Raven released Starfire, soaring after the Changeling. If he was unconscious and couldn't transform…there was no telling what would happen to him.
Starfire slowly rose and blinked, her eyes panning her surroundings critically. She could feel Raven's magic giving her strength and healing random wounds. Something strange was happening inside her, though. An unfamiliar feeling was forming in the pit of her stomach.
"Star, are you okay?" Robin had seemingly picked himself back up off the ground and was able to walk again.
"I am…well…" Something in Starfire's head was telling her that she wanted to rip Scorpio limb from limb. Something in her soul was crying out for her ex-boyfriend's bloodshed. Raven…? It had to be the side effect that the empath had mentioned earlier. In addition to power and strength, Starfire had apparently gained a tad of personality, and it seemed to be taking more of her over by the second. The Tamaranian girl's thoughts were becoming sickly morbid, as images of Scorpio's body blasted into a thousand bleeding bits flashed through her mind. The truly frightening thing was that Starfire was not bothered in the least by these thoughts. In fact, her darkened heart was delighted by them.
"Starfire! Duck!" Robin grabbed the pensive girl at his side and pulled her down as a set of blue eyebeams flew overhead.
The alien princess could feel Raven's dark obscuring every last bit of decency and light in her mind, body, and soul; what was left of her original self was frightened of what she was becoming. This was not going to end well, of this Starfire was sure.
"Oh no, no, no. This will never do." Scorpio flew the two on the floor, noting Robin's protective arm still secured around Starfire's waist. "I'll be glad to end this now."
"Stay away from him!" Starfire took to the sky, leveling herself with Scorpio, her voice unusually steely and cold. There was something eerily familiar about that voice, as though two people were speaking as one. Her eyes were no longer their normal bright emerald, but a deeper, muddier green.
"Well, I must say you made a rather miraculous recovery. I'm so glad my dear." Scorpio laughed, his last words dripping with sarcasm as he shot a starbolt in Starfire's direction.
Testing the waters.
Starfire dodged the blue energy with ease, but instead of sending one of her own hurdling back as Scorpio was so sure she would, she lunged at the alien boy, tackling him with unimaginable force and slamming him into the roof of Titans Tower with a sick grin that was frighteningly like Scorpio's own mere moments ago plastered on her face. Starfire's fist connected with Scorpio's jaw; painfully so as you could probably imagine. Her dark side seemed to be getting darker as her punches became stronger. All the hate and resentment that Starfire had kept locked up inside for such a long time was pouring out, with Raven's dark powers leading her.
"Star, stop! You're gonna kill him!" Beast Boy, brought back to the roof by Raven, leaped forward and tried to stop the fanatic alien girl, but was thrown backwards when Starfire sent a single starbolt at him. She returned to her assault immediately after.
"My emotions have taken complete control of her." Raven's eyes were filled with worry. "She doesn't know how to balance her feelings."
"What?" Robin and Beast Boy turned to her, looking utterly confused.
"About a year ago, when we switched bodies, she told me about her people. Tamaranians live by pure, unbridled emotion. They're never happy, but positively jovial. They're never sad, but drowning in depression, rare as it is. That's why the Gordanians of the Citadel loved to kidnap and torture her people; because they were never afraid to show their tears."
"And this has what to do with the situation at hand?" Beast Boy quirked an eyebrow.
"The hate she's built up for Scorpio is outweighing all her other emotions, and my powers depend on balance. She's so filled with loathing that she's now completely set on killing Scorpio in the most brutal way her mind can imagine. My powers will help her achieve that goal if we can't reach her." The empath lifted herself from the ground, levitating behind the now airborne Starfire, who was now furiously flinging starbolt after starbolt at her former ex-boyfriend's limp, dying, and blood stained body. "Starfire! You have to stop! Balance your emotions and meditate!" Raven caught a starbolt in the gut, sending her flying to the ground.
"I've got you Rae…" Beast Boy held out his hands and caught her in his arms with a soft grunt.
"If…" Raven breathed heavily, her body aching. That one starbolt had held a hell of a lot of power. "If she could be distracted, even for a second…If something…some emotion…could counteract the one she's feeling now and tip her emotional scales back into balance…" Raven winced in pain and shifted in Beast Boy's arms. "Then…I might be able to get through to her…"
Robin swiftly drew his bo-staff and pole vaulted himself up to Starfire's height, catching her by the waist and bringing her to the ground. The alien girl's muddy green eyes glowed darkly, her hands balled into fists; fists with starbolts in them, ready to fire at anyone who got in her way.
Robin didn't give her a chance. He let go of his bo-staff and allowed his hands wrap themselves around Starfire's back, drawing her closer to him and finally closing the gap between them with a fervent and long awaited kiss. Starfire squeaked in shock, then melted into the embrace, enjoying this new sensation beyond anything she'd ever felt before and deepening it with a flick of her tongue. Now where had she learned to do that?
"I said distract, not seduce." Despite her words, Raven looked slightly amused. She was on her feet again, though her gut still stung from the impact of the starbolt. Beast Boy stood behind her, grinning madly. Starfire's eyes were lighter now; they shone brightly, as though some of her purity had been restored, ironically enough. A hint of a smile played on her lips.
"I will not deny the fact that I did not enjoy it…"
"Yes, yes, you can make out all you want once my magic's worn off. If your love and lust emotions go on overdrive right now, my powers will make sure that you won't make it through the hour without losing your virginity to Boy Blunder over there, and that's definitely something I don't need to see." Raven jerked her head in Robin's direction. By this time, Beast Boy was in hysterics. "However, I can't let your hate control you again. You have to meditate, Starfire. Meditate to control the antipathy you feel for Scorpio, so you won't hurt him more than you already have. I'm surprised he's still alive after the beating you gave him…" Starfire nodded in agreement, closing her eyes and concentrating on what she had been instructed to do. If she remembered correctly, the trick was to find her center…focus…and… "Azarath…Metreon…Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…"
As Starfire meditated, Robin watched her in careful contemplation. How he could have ever thought that Starfire would willingly betray him beyond his comprehensive thought. It was his own stupidity that had caused the controversy, nothing else. He only wished that he could take it all back.
"Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…"
"You gonna be okay?" Beast Boy leaned down to check on Raven, who had fallen to her knees as the sharp stinging of the starbolt burned in her gut.
"I'm fine." The empath smiled, though there wasn't really much to smile about. "Thanks."
"So…you have a lust emotion?" Beast Boy chuckled.
"Yes, and I keep in check at all times."
"Just my luck…"
Okay..
Guess who's back... back again
Shady's back, tell a friend
Now everyone report to the dance floor
To the dance floor, to the dance floor
Now everyone report to the dance floor
Alright stop... pajama time
"OMIGOD!" Trista squealed with delight, jumping up so quickly that her chair toppled over. She took little notice, grabbing Cyborg's arm with excitement shining in her wide blue eyes. "This is like, SO my song! We've just totally gotta like…you know, get down home-boy!"
"Home…boy…?" Cyborg whimpered as he was dragged to the dance floor. How much humiliation could one guy possibly endure in a single evening? "Uh…Trista…I don't really feel like dancing…"
"Oh come ON, C-Dawg! I know you've got some, like groove in you! Let's like, hip-hop!"
"Help…someone…anyone…"
Now I'm gonna make you dance
It's your chance, yeah boy shake that ass
Whoops! I mean girl... girl, girl, girl
"Girl you know you're my world"
Alright now lose it
"Aah aah aah aah aah"
Just lose it
"Aah aah aah aah aah"
Go crazy
"Aah aah aah aah aah"
Oh baby
"Aah aah"
Oh baby baby
"Aah aah"
"Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…Azarath, Metreon, Zinthos…"
"Starry…" A shaky voice rose from the body that was now rising from the ground. "Starry…I swear that you will be mine…whatever it takes…" A bloody, battered Scorpio wheezed as he stood, looking as though every breath he took would be his last. Starfire's eyes popped wide open and turned a visible shade darker at the sight of him.
"Meditate, Starfire…." Raven winced. The starbolt's fiery sting was crawling up her chest and scorching her upper body. Beast Boy put his arm around her in an act of comfort.
"Azarath…Metreon…" Starfire's eyes were almost a deep black, only the faintest traces of green remaining.
"My darling Starfire…" Scorpio was coming too close for comfort, and he seemed to be gaining strength with each passing moment. "If you ever hope to get rid of me, you'll have to kill me." The Tamaranian princess had lost herself again. Her eyes glowed with cold, black fury and hatred as she released a round of starbolts with deadly accuracy.
"I assure you that your wish can be arranged!" Starfire looked as though she were about to send another arsenal of powerful energy when she felt something grab her arms and twist her suddenly extinguished fists behind her back. "What-?"
"Starfire, you have to stop." Robin spoke over her shoulder, still holding her hands sturdily in place. "We all hate him just as much as you do." Starfire shot him a doubtful glance and Robin shrugged. "Okay, fine, maybe not quite as much as you do, but he's not worth it, Star." The Boy Wonder turned Starfire around and stared into her blackish green eyes. "Scorpio's not good enough for you to have to risk the death penalty for. You can't kill him Starfire. He's down, he's out, that's it. You won, Star. It's over." Robin's voice was soothing, but Starfire was still possessed by Raven's dark magic.
"I…" The girl closed her eyes and winced in agony. Her entire body was shaking, convulsing, as though a battle of emotions was going on inside of her. Robin pulled the princess into a tight embrace, attempting to stop her slim frame from such violent jerking. He heard a small voice in his ear, an unstable whisper. "I must kill him, friend. He attempted to kill you and…"
"NO!" Robin held on tighter, well aware that Starfire was perfectly capable of escaping his grasp on her. "Don't do anything, Star. If you've suddenly become so bent on murdering Scorpio, then…then…" Robin stepped back and let the red head stand on her own. "…then you're not the Starfire I fell in love with." With a sudden wide eyed, hurt, and shocked expression, Starfire shuddered and collapsed, hitting the floor with a soft thump. "Starfire?" Robin dropped to his knees, surprised and concerned with her reaction. "STARFIRE?"
"She's fine." Beast Boy came up behind the Boy Wonder and knelt down beside him. "Raven said that something like this would happened when her powers were expelled from Star's body." Robin gave his friend an odd look.
"…Did you just say expelled?"
"Surprised I could use the word in a sentence?" Beast Boy smirked proudly.
"…I'm more surprised you could pronounce the word at all."
"Shut up dude…"
"Where's Raven?"
"She's checkin' Scorpi-Freak's vitals. Hopefully, your girlfriend didn't blast his heart out, or we might have some Tamaranian lawyers after us."
"She's NOT my-" Robin stopped himself, looking at the unconscious girl laying before him, suddenly realizing that he no longer had anything to hide. "…Yeah. Yeah, Tamaranian lawyers would be hell…"
"Like ours," Beast Boy mused, grinning at Robin, "but with super strength and starbolts and open emotions and all that alien crap."
"I wonder how many people die in Tamaranian courtrooms per year?"
"…Twenty…" Both boys jerked their heads in Starfire's direction at the sound of her voice. She was still weak, but she had awoken. "Twenty Tamaranians perish in our courtrooms per year, on average. I was made to study such things as second in line for the throne."
"Star…" Before Robin could say anything else, the battle-weary Tamaranian girl struggled to sit up and threw her arms around his neck, crying silent tears into his shoulder.
"I have caused…destruction, yes? I have caused…so many awful things…I am…sorry…"
"You haven't caused anything we can't fix." Robin smiled as she clung to him, and for some reason his words gave her comfort.
"Truly…" It was more of a statement than a question.
"Truly." And the Boy Wonder said the word with such certainty that Starfire was sure that it would be just as he said. Fixable.
"Well, it's a safe bet that Scorpio won't be fighting anymore." Raven flew to the three gathered across the roof. Behind her floated Scorpio's immobile body, glowing black with the emapth's dark magic. Starfire visibly winced as the Tamaranian boy's frame approached.
"So…that's it? All over?" Beast Boy looked a little disheartened.
"…You wanted all this crap to continue?" Robin eyed his friend critically.
"Nah. It was just fun seeing Starfire totally and completely pissed off." The Changeling chuckled nervously as every Titans member present scowled at him.
"So…where should we put the corpse?"
"Corpse?" Starfire squeaked with shock. "I have…killed him?" Her eyes were wide with fear.
"No, but you would've with that next round of starbolts that you were about to shoot before Robin stopped you…" Raven shrugged as though she couldn't care less whether Scorpio had died or not. "But really, where do we put him? The guest room he's been staying in?"
"He could go in the kitchen, I guess…" Robin held one finger up as he made his suggestion.
"I would suggest keeping him in your Earth hell, but that is unfortunately not a possibility." Starfire was obviously miffed. She now sat up straight, but was still in apparent pain.
"Star, with me, anything you could remotely think of having to do with hell is possible." Raven did not hide the amusement in her voice. "A good idea, but I don't know if we'd be able to get him out by tomorrow morning for the Tamaranian police to pick him up."
"How about the basement storage room? That's okay, right?" Beast Boy looked hopeful as the other Titans stared at him.
"What is with you tonight?" Robin seemed slightly awestruck.
"Um…What?"
"First you can pronounce 'expelled' AND use it in a sentence. Then you turn around and have a great idea. Next thing you know, you'll be able to run the dishwasher correctly too…" Robin shook his head in amazement as Starfire and Raven chuckled lightly.
"Shut up you…you…you inflamed bureaucracy!" Beast Boy was met with blank stares. "…Crap what'd I say?"
"…You called him a red government." Raven resisted the urge to laugh. She masked it with a quick kiss to his cheek. "Come on, you and I can go lock Scorpio up together." The Changeling nodded, a grin tugging at the corners of his offended scowl.
"Should I help-" Robin was made to get up, but Raven stopped him.
"No. We can handle Scorpio ourselves. And besides," The emapth lowered her voice a few notches, "I believe you have some business of your own to take care of." With a quick tilt of the head towards Starfire, the emapth smiled slightly and shrugged. "Have fun."
"Oh my God, C-Dawg, I had the ghettoist time tonight!" Trista cooed, giggling from her place in the front seat of the car.
Cyborg said nothing. If he unclenched his teeth, he would probably say something offensive. A faint tune hummed from the radio and Trista squealed when she heard it.
"OHHH! I love this song!" The blond cranked the volume control dial so high that the song blasted through the windows.
EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT ME
MY HEART IS JUMPIN
IT'S EASY TO SEE
LOVING YOU MEAN S SO MUCH MORE
MORE THAN ANYTHING I'VE EVER FELT BEFORE
YOU DRIVE ME CRAAZY!
I JUST CAN'T SLEEP
I'M SO EXCITED
I'M IN TOO DEEP
WOHAA CRAAZY!
BUT IT FEELS SO RIGHT
BABY THINKING OF YOU
KEEPS ME UP ALL NIGHT…
Cyborg nearly left an indent in his car stereo, he had hit the 'off' button so hard.
"What's wrong, C-Dawg? You can't NOT like Brittany Spears! She's like, tight!"
"Believe me, I can…"
"C-Dawg, I get the feeling that you have some like, totally hostile emotions pent up inside of you. You wanna like, talk about them at my crib?"
"…Not…really…" Cyborg's knuckles would have been white from gripping the steering wheel so hard had his hands not been mechanical.
"Come on, C-Dawg, how can you resist? Some of my like, homies might be there too!"
Cyborg resisted the urge to bang his head on his dashboard several times. This was the LAST time he'd EVER go on a blind date.
"Okay, so if you're not gonna like…hang with me at my crib, then…you wanna go out again sometime?"
And…that's it. The end of the second to last chapter, and the end of my VERY crappy attempt at a semi-good fight between Starfire and Scorpio. I really think it was doing pretty well…until like…after the second Cyborg-interlude…then everything kinda fell apart…I don't know. You guyz tell me what you think. Next chapter will be better, I assure you. It's already half written…and the last one…yeah. Oh! Question!
Does anyone know if that rumor about the review responses is true? Like…has the Webmaster really revoked out privilege to communicate with our reviewers?
Thoughts? Comments? Facts?
LET ME KNOW.
Jackalobe, Queen-of-Azarath, and myself, SushiChica, are very concerned about this new "rule", if it is indeed true, and we are not the only ones. Please, if you know anything about this, FACTS would be nice. I have already emailed the support staff to see if they can tell me anything.
THANKS GUYS!
Love,
SushiChica
