Chapter 6

Random Quote: "I've got a name. And, it's a boy's name, too." -Mulan

A/N: Once again, I'll recap.


(long soliloquy)

"I'll stay."

The Titans breathed a collective sigh of relief, and Beast Boy actually cheered.

"I think you've had enough for one day," said Robin. "It's late. We'll find you a place to sleep, and we can answer questions in the morning."

"She can sleep in my room," offered Beast Boy. "I've got a bunk bed."

"That's all right, I'll just crash on the couch."

"Dude, I've got two beds. Why would you want to sleep on the couch? I'll even let you have the top bunk if you want."

"Are you sure it wouldn't be a problem?"

"Of course not."

"Thanks. I'll just go get my stuff from my carfrick! Is my car still at the park?"

"You can drive? Cyborg never lets me drive the T-Car," Beast Boy whined.

"For good reason," said Raven.

"Speaking of which, Cyborg brought your car here. It's right outside." Robin escorted her downstairs and out to her car so she could find the way.

Lana unloaded a bookbag, sleeping bag, and pillow, and Robin helped her carry it back inside.

"I was going to spend the night at my friend Melanie's tonight," she explained. "I'll call her and let her know I can't anymore." They were almost back to the living room, when Lana stopped. (A/N: I don't know what the area with the couch and the TV in Titans Tower is called, but it's where the Titans seem to spend most of their time, so I'll call it the living room. If anyone has a better or more correct title, please let me know.)

"Why is Beast Boy angry at you?" she asked Robin.

"He's not...well, I didn't think he was. But now that you mention it, he did throw me a few dirty looks back there."

"But why?"

"Actually, I think he's jealous."

"What?"

"Well, he's kind of the jealous type, and it's not hard to figure out that he's got a bit of a crush on you. He might not like the fact that I'm the one helping you unpack and showing you around and everything."

"Ah, his wrist. He couldn't help me carry anything." Lana chuckled. "Is that all? I was afraid it was going to be something serious."

"Well, he's also serious annoyed that he can't play videogames." They both laughed as they made their way into the living room.

Beast Boy was sitting on the couch, still attempting to play Mega Monkeys 4 with only one hand. When Lana and Robin came in, he looked angry for a split second before getting up and leaving, as if the thought of Lana laughing at someone else's joke was too much to bear. He was supposed to be the funny one! Lana quickly became serious and glanced sideways at Robin.

"We'll put your stuff here for now," he said, dumping her bookbag onto the couch.

"Is he still angry at you?"

Robin nodded. "Looks like it."

"This is horrible. I'm not even trying, and I'm screwing up your friendship."

"Give it time. Beast Boy is...he's a sensitive guy, believe it or not, and he always realizes where his priorities lie. Sometimes it just takes him a while."

"I'll take your word for it. You know him better than I do."

"Speaking of Beast Boy, how did you know he was angry at me?"

"He just kinda...felt angry."

"What do you mean 'felt'?"

"I just got an angry sort of vibe. Not really sure."

"I'd talk to Raven if I were you, but it sounds like you're an empath."

"Really? Weird."

Robin laughed. "Not exactly the typical reaction, but it works."


A/N: I know you're all anxious for an update (in my dreams, maybe), so I'll go ahead and end here, thus updating sooner. Ha ha ha. I'm about to begin chapter 7 after this, so it (hopefully) won't be that long til it's up. Heh...but after this week, expect updates only on weekends. I'll try for twice a week, but that might not happen. Oh yeah, and happy April Fool's Day! (Don't worry, I didn't play a joke on you...)
Things to be proud of me for: I actually began my homework, 3 days before spring break ends...heh. Also, my chapters are getting longer! (applause) And finally, I learned how to use italics! (more applause) Thank you!
