Err... I don't have that many excuses for not doing this. I mean, its only almost been 3/4s of the year since the last update... PLEASE FORGIVE ME! (sob) At least I've been updating one of my stories... It's popular, ya know? I guess I stopped this because the demands were getting too hard on this. Soo many... But it's really appreciated!
And yes, I have surprised myself also from actually continuing this. How do I remember what requests, you say? Heh, well... I haven't deleted any emails since October of last year (insert sweatdrop here) Anywho, hope you enjoy!
Chapter 10: The Sleepovers
"Oh, Robbie-Poo! We must watch this movie together, I've heard it's romantic!" Kitten thrust a video case in his face, expecting him to look at it. He tried to avoid her at every turn, but alas, the apartment-like complex was not very big, thus she appeared around all the corners. He decided to take a quick glance at the video she insisted on watching. His heart fell as he realized it was "The Notebook." Starfire had also requested him to watch it with her at one point, and he had yet to sit down together with her. He would NOT replace Starfire's position with Kitten.
"Err... How about this?" The boy wonder held up "The Island."
"No way! That is totally lame!"
"Have you even seen it?"
"Well, no, but-"
"Then we're watching it."
Kitten snarled and grabbed him by his collar, dragging him inches from her face.
"You WILL watch this with me." She waved the movie with her other hand. "Otherwise... Pucker up!" Her lips suddenly spread out and became enormous, and he tried to push her away. She noticed how he squirmed under her grasp. She gave out a cry of victory, then threw him on his sleeping bag. She then jumped on top of him, eyes sparkling in glee.
"Meeeeeowww..." Kitten intimidated a cat, flexing her fingers as claws of the feline.
"Crap..."
Turning over to Starfire...
Starfire just gaped. And stared. This was NOT happening. It was meant to be one of those romantic bed scenes, where candle-light gave off a comfortable relaxed feeling as it dimly lighted the room with its flickers of flame. It also gave off a light aroma, to make it all the more beautiful. But to Starfire (and the viewers that watched her) it was not.
Glgrdsklechhh was underneath the soft purple blankets, purring like a foghorn and gesturing for Starfire to get in with him. Green ooze dampened the sheets, and Starfire paled to a sickly white. She refused to do this. It was too humiliating and wrong, even to her proud Tameranian culture.
"Umm... Glrudy, I do not wish to be rude, but I cannot do this." Starfire managed to say, her stomach twirling. She didn't think that the oozing green blob known as Glgrdsklechhh was hideous, her pride and her common sense just told her not to.
"Glurp, bleeu blag." the jello-like creature responded, and gave out what seemed to be a sigh. A distinctive smell wafted from its "mouth" and Starfire turned green. It smelt of raw fish and neglected trash.
"I am... sorry. But I feel for someone else." At this, she excited the room and headed to the nearest bathroom, to deposit her boiling insides. The screen turned off.
"Awww, isn't that sweet? She finally admitted her feelings." George cooed happily.
"She had already done so a few weeks back. This request was entirely pointless." That, of course, was Raven.
"She knew I existed a few weeks back? Man, I am ONE lucky guy!"
Raven groaned. Talking common sense to this television broadcaster was like telling the salt to dance with pepper. Not like she had tried that or anything...
"Dudes, that is... Disgusting. On both sides." Beast Boy stated, prying his eyes away from Robin's screen.
"Had to admit it, but the grass-stain is right." Cyborg agreed, and turned to look down at Lexi and George. "What is the purpose of this sleepover? To torture them forevermore?"
George raised his eyebrow, and gazed over at the writer next to him.
"You'll see in due time. Already, the pieces are coming together..." Lexi muttered, rubbing his hands.
"..."
Silence.
"Well, if you're in so much boredom watching your fellow titans getting filled with embarrassment, we can always do something to you to rise your spirits..." George looked at the trio with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Trekker, find me a request that has to do with these three." At this, he pressed that ever so lovely button, and suddenly the huge piles rearranged itself into different categories. Most were of the individual titans alone, but there was a decently sized pile of pairs and trios also. George walked over and randomly picked one paper off the top. His eyes glinted and he turned into the audience.
"May I present to you our next random guest, teardrops03? Please come on up!" The crowd gave a cheer. Though Robin and Starfire's sleepover was interesting, both sides were currently blacked out due to unacceptable events. Who would want to see Kitten... do whatever she's doing to Robin and Starfire about to hurl in the toilet?
teardrops03 walked up the stairs and gave the crowd a happy wave before standing beside George, who handed the paper over to its owner.
"Read aloud, my dear tear!" George exclaimed, and teardrops instantly complied.
"Dear Trebbles, I think Beast Boy should sing "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole to a certain someone-" at this, a wink was given to Raven, "and give the damsel a rose!" The crowd hooted and yelled out their responses in glee, their wishes finally come true. Cyborg gave a sigh of relief, as he name hadn't been mentioned yet. His victory was short-lived, however, as teardrops continued...
"And after that, Cyborg has to sing "My First Stereo" by FM Static." The audience laughed and gave a loud cheer in harmony, and the titans gave a hefty groan. Not only had they been stuck on this Game Show for almost a year (as they were dragged into it on September 18th of 2004), they were still being tormented. After all they did for the civilians of this world, this is how they are repaid.
"Well, my dear green friend, chop chop!" At this the stage transformed into what appeared to be a Romeo and Juliet scene, Beast Boy kneeling below the balcony to the mistress that stood above. "All please give a special thank you to Jen813 for supplying us the idea with this classical scene!" The mentioned author blushed as she received pats on the back and compliments on selecting the perfect backdrop.
"Beast Boy, Beast Boy? Where art thou, my Beast Boy?" Raven called out, not seeing the green boy right below her. She was doing this out of her own will, surprisingly. When done with, she knew she wouldn't get picked on (hopefully) for a bit, and the sooner done the better.
"Raven, my dear Raven! I hath come for thee!" The called titan responded, making many people stunned. Beast Boy was also doing this out of his own will, not by force of the powerful Trekker. Where had he learned such a beautiful vocabulary?
"Oh, Beast Boy! You must go! The guards will no doubt still be looking for thee!" Was the rushed reply, and Raven gave the expression of sadness as she did not want her lover to be captured.
Beast Boy gave a soft chuckle.
"My undying love for thou will protect thy self from those of evil will." He gave a dazzling look to her, his green eyes soft and caring. "And with thy blossoming love, I wish to portray my feelings within this song." Raven gazed down at him, her mouth slightly quivering.
"Thou may delight thee with your never-ending love." Raven smiled. Beast Boy gave a low cough to clear his throat, and began.
"L is for the way you look at me,
O is for the only one I see.
V is very, very extra-ordinary,
E is even more than anyone that you adore can..."
His voice was spectacular within the beautiful song he sang. It was astonishing to all how he managed to preserve it, none would of thought that the comic relief titan would be able to reveal such a wonderful thing. Raven seemed lost in the lyrics, her heart swooning at the words that came from his lips...
"Love
is all that I can give to you,
Love is more than just a game for
two.
Two in love can make it,
Take my heart and please
don't break it,
Love was made for me and you."
The last sentence rang in Raven's mind, lingering there and pestering her about its existence. "Made for me and you..." She didn't provoke the subject, she tuned back in to listen to the charming Beast Boy's words...
"L
is for the way you look at me,
O is for the only one I see.
V
is very, very extra-ordinary,
E is even more than anyone that
you adore can..."
This was the chorus that he had said before. Raven was lost within his words, and Beast Boy himself was lost in the song that he hadn't heard since he was a small kid...
"And
love is all that I can give to you,
Love is more than just a
game for two.
Two in love can make it,
Take my heart and
please don't break it,"
Raven knew what the next verse would be, but it still didn't stop her from loving it all the more-
"Love
was made for me and you...
Love was made for me and you...
Love was made for me and you!"
Silence reigned everyone as Beast Boy ended his touching song, and just watched as he turned into a raven and flew above and over the balcony's rails. He reverted back into human form and gave Raven a soft, warming smile, something that Raven had never received from anyone before. Her heart skipped a beat as he magically produced a lush red rose from his right hand.
"I love you, Raven." He handed over the flower into Raven's trembling hands. Everyone wondered how she was able to suppress her emotions, normally the whole background would blow up in a flash of obsidian energy.
"I... I love you too, Beast Boy." She finally admitted, and Beast Boy bent forward to give her. The fans that shipped this couple were about to go wild, as they had both now officially proclaimed their love for one another, when suddenly...
"HOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNKKK!" A foghorn bellowed, and in their surprise the pair missed each other completely and fell over.
"If I recall, my dear couple, the request did not say that you were enabled to kiss each other. Though, of course, that would of been sweet, I'm not the mushy type anyway." With that, the entire scenario disappeared and Raven and Beast Boy were frozen in thin air. People stared, and then...
THUD! The violet-haired girl and the green elf-like boy crashed onto the wooden floor. Groans of disappointment rose from the crowd, even though George was correct that the paper did not say they were meant to kiss. Life could be so cruel...
"Give them all a hand! Brilliant ideas, marvelous play!" George announced, clapping along with the audience as Raven and Beast Boy quietly walked back to their podiums. They didn't even give Cyborg a glance, both were reliving the memory within themselves. Cyborg just... blinked. He was astounded. He was sure since the titans first formed that the two opposites would get together (he had even bet Robin 50 bucks on it) and now that it was actually happening, he was surprised. He didn't know that we was actually going to win that deal.
"Now now, peoples, don't get upset!" George exclaimed as he raised his hands. Many fans were disappointed and angry that George had interrupted the kiss. "I'm sure someone else will request it sometime!" The crowd quieted down, knowing this was probably true. They whispered amongst themselves, asking one another if they had done so.
"Before we forget, our dear friend Cyborg here must sing us a song."
"But I don't know-" the mechanical teen began protesting.
"Well, you do now."
CLICK! Trekker gave a soft beep as the button was pressed down.
Cyborg gave a smile, and started to sing.
"Somethin'
tells me I'll never be close to another like you
helped me through
the things that we all go through.
You make every song sound
better,
taught me how to write a letter
I think everyone should
get along like me and my first stereo
oops, I'm in trouble
again. should of listened to them
Back to my room and then we're
safe now
Feels like when we were ten, in my room listenin
To
some Michael Jackson, relaxin'
And you used to sing me to
sleep
and always stood behind me
you saw me off when I had to
go
my first true love was my first stereo
Everyone wants,
everyone needs,
everyone hurts sometimes like me
It never
rejects me, always accepts me
nothing can compete with my first
stereo
Everyone wants, everyone needs,
nobodys perfect just
like me
into the stereo is the place I go
I wonder what's
playin' next on the radio?
Green light, outta my way
seems
like just yesterday
that you played me my very first mix tape
Gave
me the courage to say what I wanted to say
when it never comes out
that way
My First stereo, my first stereo..."
Cyborg drifted off, and gave a sniff. This song fit him perfectly. Back when he was a football player in High School, he had his first stereo keeping him company, comforting him. He had never heard of the song, but it reflected upon him so much that it touched him.
"Give the man a tissue, he deserves one!" George yelled, and a tissue appeared in Cyborg's hand and he blew his nose. George jogged over and patted Cy on the back. "There there, now... It's alright, all first stereos go to heaven..."
Cyborg blinked and stared at him.
"Err.. Right. Anyway, once again, give him a-" The bystanders had beaten him to the punch, however, and were already howling and yelling their applause. "Well, never mind then. Beautiful idea, teardrops03, this is one of my favs! Thank you for coming!" George shook hands with the reviewer and teardrops went back down to his seat, where many buddies laughed at his ideas and loved the whole lot of it. Cyborg went back to the podium, blushing slightly. Though he looked at Raven, and then at Beast Boy, neither seemed to register his glare. They were still lost in the last performance.
"Now that they're out of their boredom, let's tune back into Starfire and Robin's progressive sleepovers!"
The screen suddenly flickered back to life, revealing what had come upon the two lovable titans...
Author's Note: OMG, yes, I updated! Woohoo, come along and sing with me in joy! Haha, I love all of your ideas. Just visualizing them all is great. Send in those requests, they're all brilliant so far! Oh, and review! (You can flame me about how late this came in too, if you'd like, lol. I don't mind, I deserve it)
