The titans came down for breakfast. Robin, whom had been at the table for two hours now what beginning to eat the corner of the table to satisfy his hunger. The other titans came in and sat down. Cyborg whacked Robin with his spatula. "You are going to ruin your appetite if you keep that up!" He glared angrily. Starfire looked to her robotic friend. "Friend Cyborg, why must we wait so long for the fasting of break? Is there some ritual we are performing involving waiting for consumption of food?" She asked, looked uncertain. "Yeah man, I'm hungry!" Snapped Beastboy, banging his fists on the table, " I want my tofu!" Though the events of his dream were startling Beastboy's stomach always got the best of him.
"Every one now just don't panic," Said Cyborg as sweat dripped from his forehead. "I planned a special breakfast and now we just need to wait for…" A smile of relief spread across the metal titans face as the goth titan walked in, "Raven!"
"What I miss?" Raven asked, pulling up a chair. She sat down staring at the mixed looks on the titans faces. Robin was staring at Cyborg with a look of fury on his face, Cyborg was beaming happily, Starfire was staring hungrily at the mustard bottle and Beastboy was staring at…her? And he was smiling, not his usual mocking smile but a normal smile. I wonder what's wrong with him. She thought looking at the others.
Robin was the first to reply. "Cyborg isn't letting us eat because of some kind of stupid 'surprise'" He glared at his half robot friend, "What is it already!"
Cyborg grinned at he reached for a sheet covering some kind of cart. "Keep your tights on Robin… please," Cyborg shook off a chill and continued, "Today we eat real food!" He grabbed the sheet to reveal a platter of scrambled eggs and bacon. Raven just stared uncertain of a response. Robin's eyes bugged out of his head in either disbelief they were having real food, or that this was the surprise or that he just wanted to strangle Cyborg. Starfire grinned "Friend Cyborg! How marvelous, we are having the eggs of scrambledniss, yes?"
Cyborg already had given them each a plate, with an extra large helping for himself. Beastboy stared at him in disbelief. "Man, you know I don't eat meat… or eggs! He shouted jumping up.
"Hey B, everyone else deserves a chance to eat something real for once." He paused and looked out for a second, "Besides BumbleBee loves a guy who can cook… or I hope she does." Cyborg quickly wolfed down all his food in less then ten seconds.
" Fine then I'll go make my own breakfast." Snapped Beastboy, with a slightly hurt tone in his voice. He stormed over to the fridge.
Suddenly the Titans heard a loud drawn out scream. "Where is the Tofu?" He demanded angrily.
Cyborg let out a nervous laugh "Uh, I … threw it out…"
"YOU WHAT?" Beastboy beast knocked down the robotic titan and turned into lion who then cornered him to the wall. He turned back "Why?"
Cyborg sweated "Uh… pull of the moment I guess? Eh hehe…"
Beastboy turned back into a lion and sprung at Cyborg. Cyborg paused for a moment, screamed and ran. The two ran around the kitchen, making pots, pans and dishes fly every which way.
Meanwhile the other titans were avoiding being hit and trying to catch as many breakable items as possible. Finally, the chase stopped. "Why can't you eat normal food for once?" Demanded Cyborg. He was on one side of the table, Beastboy was on the other.
"You wouldn't eat it either if you have been all those animals at least once in you life!"
The two continued quarreling and Raven decided to end it now. She made the giant platter of eggs and bacon float in midair for a minute. Then suddenly the platter flew over and dumped on Cyborg's head.
The metal titan looked up. His head was covered with eggs and bacon. He wiped some from his eyes. "Raven?"
She glared at him. "I don't mind no tofu for once, but at least think before you get rid of someone's food next time." She stormed off.
The two titans remained silent for a minute. Cyborg was first to speak "Dude what up with her?"
"I dunno… she respects peoples eating habits." Beastboy brushed himself off
"No man, I mean she was sticking up for you."
Beastboy looked over at him, "Ya think?"
Cyborg ate a piece of bacon off his own head, "She has been acting weird lately."
Beast boy paused, "maybe we should see what's wrong with her."
"And go in her room?" Cyborg stared at him in disbelief, "You know that is where she probably went to."
"But," the changeling replied, "We could knock on her door and maybe she will talk."
"And how do you figure this?" Cyborg snapped.
"Hey, I have a brain ya know." BB stated angrily.
"Ok then," the metal titan replied, "why don't you use it for once!"
Beastboy grinned as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "It only stops in from time to time, duh!"
Cyborg stared, shook his head, and then walked out. Beastboy stared after him. Sure showed him!
Beastboy got up. Ok Raven's room… uh this might be a little harder then I thought. Why did she stand up for me like that anyway? If you can call it that I mean she probably just wanted quiet so she could metitate. Beastboy's ears dropped, I guess she wasn't standing up for me after all.
He shook his head, So she wasn't sticking up for me big deal! I mean this is Raven we're talking about here isn't it? Just because I like her like that doesn't mean she feels the same way!
Beastboy sighed, though these words should help, they were doing the exact opposite. "My brain hurts from all this thinking… I think!" He exclaimed as he massaged head. "I'll go to Rae's room after I lie down."
Meanwhile up in a dark room of the tower Raven sat on her bed. Why did I stand up for him like that? She thought angrily I can't meditate when I'm like this. I'd better go to my mirror to calm my nerves and figure this out.
With that, Raven rose and went over to her desk she pick up a cracked mirror off the surface…
