Sorry to leave you hanging. Actually I'm really not sorry but it's polite to say so. I know it's been a long time but I have a reason: my computer broke. My uncle who works with computers couldn't fix it right away because he had to order a power-thingy for it and the power-thingy arrived while he was on vacation. Yesterday I had to clean out the closet I share with my evil younger sister. She never gets rid of anything. Then, I had a huge war with the computer I type my fics on cuze the mouse would freeze every time I tried to save it on a floppy disc.

Do I own the Teen Titans, you ask? Robin and Raven are getting too close on the show. I despise the RaexRob couple to the end of the earth and the start of the next. Raven and Robin (shudders) It's just wrong. So, no, I don't own the Teen Titans yet.

REVIEW REPLIES-

Happy Sun- I new it would work. That was the point of ending there- to be mean (and make sure my readers keep reading). Your dad had to fix my computer before I could update. Only seven people reviewed. Thanx. And I know you're not just saying it cuze your my cousin.

Travis Hicks- You'll see. (Smiles evilly)

Andersonfanandadmirer- Not quite sure how I'd fit that one in.

animegoddess12345- I do that all the time. I couldn't help it, I had to put that cliffhanger there. Unfairness and surprise: the reason I put that cliffhanger there.

Spinner198- I don't really have a choice do I?

sillymail- You're quite the talker. XD Don't worry I did (if I hadn't you wouldn't be able to read this).

Fjord Cannon- Thanx. Glad you like it so much but there'sno reason to shout. Read and find out.

Babysitting Troubles

Ch8: Ow. Ow. Ow.

"This is phase two," Devin said. With that he threw many smoke bombs on the ground and they went off instantly. Devin needs to learn to stop testing Raven.

"DEVIN!" Raven screamed as she coughed in the smoke-filled mansion. She felt someone push her from behind and steal her shoes. Raven looked around the room and all she could see was smoke. Knowing it would take a long time for the smoke to clear, Raven started stumbling through the room trying to find a door, any door.

"OW!" Raven exclaimed. She had stepped on something small and slightly sharp. Ignoring it, she continued stumbling blindly over furniture and who knows what. "OW!" This time Raven bent down to see what was causing all this pain. It was really a bad idea for Devin to coat the living room floor with Lego's. Raven made a mental note to kill Devin when she found him.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow... "Raven said as she continued to stumble over Lego's and furniture in her search for a door. Finally, her hands touched it, the cold metal of a door knob. Not caring wear it led to, Raven yanked it open and breathed in the fresh, cool night air. The door led outside where Devin had gone.

Raven bent down to pull the Lego's out of her feet and briefly speculated whether or not to search for Devin; he was only five years old and he could get hurt. Raven couldn't tell if that was a good thing or a bad one. The $480 convinced her she didn't want him to be hurt- but even that was beginning to barely cover it. Lego's in the feet, the only thing more painful than that is orthodontic work (a.k.a. braces/headgear/most other metal stuff that goes in your mouth.)

"Just do it for the book. Just do it for the book. Just do it-"

"HELLO!" Devin shouted as he popped in front of her face. He grinned and then took off running.

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE-" Raven shouted. She didn't know what he was, but she didn't like it (as if that wasn't obvious).

Devin leapt over a bush and disappeared behind it. Raven did the same and fell in the hole hidden behind the bush. It was about eight or nine feet deep and three feet in diameter. Devin pushed a lot of dirt into the hole, stuck his tongue out at her, and took off running. Little kids have way too much energy.

Raven took a deep breath. She levitated slowly out of the hole. Raven dusted herself off. She then walked behind the shed (that's where Devin ran). When she turned around, she saw she was standing in front of a giant bull's eye.

"And FIRE!" Devin shouted while wearing an army helmet. Raven managed to put a force field up just in time to shield herself from the thirty or so bottle rockets that came flying at her. She let the force field disappear.

"Devin," Raven said with a dangerous calm in her voice.

"Whatie?" Devin idiotically replied.

"Get-back-in-the-house-before-I-hurt-you," Raven hastily told him with the same dangerous calm.

"NO!" Devin yelled; he then took off running.

Raven ran after him. He stopped for a second to throw snap dragons at her feet.

"Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow..." Raven paused her chase to hop up and down while clutching her abused feet. She then resumed her chase.

Devin leapt over another bush. Raven followed but this time she walked slowly through it. Devin, who had been hiding in the bush, got a sparkler out and lit her cloak on fire. Raven noticed something smelt like it was burning. She turned around and noticed her cloak was on fire. She took it off and stamped the fire out. Then, she turned to glare at Devin who was rolling on the ground in laughter. He took one look at her face and took off running again.

Only one more chapter to go. Sorry to keep you waiting, but this is a pretty good chapter. I have to go get ready for the birthday party of my mom's friend's son's boy (he and his brother live with my mom's friend- I can't even tell them apart). Off to the World of Boredom.
