Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans…although it would be the "top-of-cool"-ness if could!

A/N: Sooo…here I am! As I said before, I'm not familiar with the comics, so this is solely based on my knowledge from the cartoon (which, I must sadly admit, is probably lacking, at best)…Here's the next chapter and on we go!

Chapter II: Equation? 1 + 1 Equals Go to School!

"Well, I suppose we ought to let him in," Robin said over the squabbling that had erupted upon Raven's question. They all stopped to look at him, their expressions communicating that they thought he had lost his mind.

"Why shouldn't we?" he continued, a trickle of exasperation seeping into his voice. "We have nothing to hide."

"Let him in?" Starfire sounded genuinely confused. "Did we do something wrong?"

Robin shook his head, but it was Cyborg that answered, "Nah. Maybe they need help with something."

"Beast Boy, go let him in," Robin commanded.

"What?" the green changeling was indignant. "You're the one who wants him in, and I have to go down all the stairs to get him?"

"There is an elevator," Raven pointed out.

"And you could fly if you wanted to," Robin said. "Besides, I just ran from all the way down there. Cut a guy a break, would you?"

Beast Boy went to the elevator, grumbling.

"Do you really think that he wants our help?" Starfire asked.

Robin shrugged. "I don't know what else it could be."

"Unless Beast Boy really did do something," Raven smirked.

Beast Boy opened the door to one Sergeant O'Hara. O'Hara was tall, broad-shouldered and incredibly to the point.

"I'm Sergeant O'Hara. Where are the rest of you?"

Beast Boy studied the officer inquisitively. "Huh?"

"I need to speak to the Teen Titans," O'Hara said flatly. "I will require the attention of all of whom that implies."

"Uh, sure."

On a whim, Beast Boy decided to lead the rudely terse officer upstairs by the way of stairs.

All ten flights of them.

& & & &

The Titans had put on some sense of readiness by the time Beast Boy and the officer reached the top of the tower. It was all a façade, of course.

As a muffled yawn passed around the room from one sleep-deprived teen to another, Beast Boy entered with the officer in tow. Postures were quickly straightened and capes were hurriedly smoothed. Robin stood tall – after all, dealing with the law was in his area of expertise.

Not that Sergeant O'Hara was impressed.

"We received," he said in his gruff baritone, wasting no time with introductions, "a complaint that you Teen Titans were not attending school regularly."

That O'Hara. Always to the point.

Robin swallowed. This was not what he had been expecting. An officer of the law requesting permission into the Tower was hardly an expected event on its own, but to find that he was a truant officer?

That was at the top of his "That's so implausible, it should be impossible" list – Robin, as it just so happened, was somewhat of a nerd in his off-time.

"Who would have issued this complaint, Officer?"

"That's not important," he answered Robin's question with little hesitation.

"To which school should we go?" Starfire asked innocently. "Can we pick?"

"You mean you aren't even enrolled in any school?" It was the first time that O'Hara's voice betrayed any emotion. With a thumb under the brim of his cap, he pushed it back on his head, loosing a small sigh through his teeth. "If this wasn't the first notice, you would be in juvenile delinquency hall right now."

Robin quickly moved to assuage the situation. "Oh no, Officer!" he said hurriedly, bringing his hands up in defense. "We can most definitely attend school. But if any sort of criminal situation is brought to our attention, then arrangements will have to be made."

"Not my call, Tweety."

Robin's eye twitched at the officer's insult. He was, actually, more surprised at the officer's condescension for him than he was angry, but the eye-twitch was something of a habit. The Titans, who had clustered around him, were shaking with muffled laughter.

Gritting his teeth in irritation, Robin focused once more on the officer, who was now moving back to the stairwell. "If I come back 'ere, tomorrow," he was saying over his shoulder, "and if I find you kids here, I'm going to book you." O'Hara's eyes narrowed with the completion of his thinly veiled threat. "And I mean it: Go to school."

The Titans listened as his footsteps clanged on the metal staircase, growing more and more faint as he moved further and further down the stairs.

Beast Boy couldn't keep it in any longer. Practically convulsing with trying to hold in his laughter, he gasped, "Tweety!"

The Tower exploded with laughter. Even Starfire couldn't help but giggle…uproariously.

Robin ground his teeth in dismay. "Okay, okay," Robin said when the Titans had quieted – mostly because none of them could hardly breathe. Feeling a bit peevish, he asked of the gasping group that was now struggling to regain its breath, "So what should we do?"

"What can we do?" Cyborg asked, not looking at Robin, because if he did, he knew he was going to start laughing again. "You heard the guy."

"So we have to go to school regularly. It won't be that bad, right?" Beast Boy stood up, dusting off his suit after rolling around on the carpet for that good laugh. Tweety! It was still funny! "Besides," he added, "It'll be just like elementary school, but with chicks!"

The green changeling could feel Raven's glare on the back of his neck.

"There will be chickens there? What fun!"

Robin sighed. "No, Star. That isn't quite what Beast Boy meant."

Raven rolled her eyes when she saw Starfire's bafflement. "Don't worry, Starfire," she said. "It isn't you that has the problem."

"Friend Raven, is there much shopping that must be done in preparation for 'school'?"

"More than I care to think about."

"Then go we must!" Starfire exclaimed excitedly, grabbing both Robin and Raven's hands and dragging them to the elevator. Beast Boy and Cyborg unwittingly followed.

And go…they, uh, did. However, the only ones that were looking forward to the next day were, not surprisingly, Beast Boy and Starfire: Beast Boy, because he was expecting to meet some really cute girls – who wouldn't be able to resist him, of course! – and Starfire, because the idea of schools on Earth seemed so unique.

Earthling schools? Who had heard of such a thing?

A/N: So, what'd you think? It's coming so slowly, I know…But, please be patient with me! Remember to review!
