Chapter 2: Problems at the Tower

"Oh, come on!" shouted Erin. "Do you really think I'm going to break your little thingy that you chop all the time Robin?"

"Yes," said Robin plainly, "yes, I do."

Erin rolled her eyes. Then, the power in Titans Tower (Hey! I rhymed! Yayness!) went out. "Not again!" shouted Cyborg.

"Yes, again!" replied Erin.

Robin and Erin went to the living room. Raven was read a book called Dragon Rider (that is a real book that I do not own); Beast Boy was trying to build a house of cards. Trying, and failing! Starfire was reading a book about llamas for some ungodly reason, and Cyborg was trying to fix the power. Erin suddenly got an evil smirk on her face.

"Oh no," said Robin.

"What?" asked Raven.

"She's got that look again!" said Beast Boy.

"Which look?"

"The evil plot look!"

"I'm right here, ya know!" said Erin.

"So," said Raven, "what are you plotting now?"

The smirk returned. "How about we play Truth or Dare?"

"Yes!" said Starfire, dropping The Day of the Llama (not a real book). "It would be wondorous to play the 'Truth or the Dare'!"

"Awesome!" exclaimed Beast Boy.

"Whatever," said Raven in her monotone.

"You're gonna force me, aren't you?" asked Robin, looking at Erin.

"You bet!" she replied.

"Oh, fine!" he said, after seeing Star's pleading eyes.

"I'm gonna keep working on the power," said Cyborg.

"What about you, Blyrr- oh wait, I forgot, Blyrric's at the HIVE," said Erin. Her downcast look was replaced by her 'evil plot' look quickly. "Well, let's get started, shall we?"

Everyone participating sat on the couch in this order: Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Raven, and Erin.

"So," said Erin, "who wants to go first?" Starfire raised her hand. "Ok, Starfire, just pick someone, then ask them Truth or Dare. If the person picks Truth, you can ask that person any question and they have to answer truthfully. If they pick Dare, you can tell them to do anything, and they have to do it."

Starfire smiled. "Robin!" she exclaimed. "Truth, or the Dare?"

Robin felt as if he had the wind knocked out of him. He didn't expect Starfire to pick that fast, or to pick him either! "Truth," he said, still stunned.

Starfire pondered this for a moment. Then, she asked, "Did you enjoy your date with Kitten?" She looked a tad nervous about his answer.

Robin said, "I enjoyed it about as much as getting hit by a train, then being struck by lightning!"

"And this means no, yes?"

"Right."

Starfire smiled. "I belive it is your turn."

"Yeah. Okay…Erin! Truth or Dare?"

"Dare me, sucker," said Erin.

"I dare you…to sing "Welcome To My Life" by Simple Plan!"

"Oo-kay," she replied. "But you do realize I actually like to sing, right?"

She started to sing.

Do you ever feel like breakin' down?

Do you ever feel out of place?

Like somehow you just don't belong

And no one understands you?

Do you ever want to run away?

Do you lock yourself in your room?

With the raidio on

Tirned up so loud

That no one hears you screaming?

No you don't know what it's like

When nothin' feels all right

You don't know what it's like to be like me

To be hurt

To feel lost

To be left out in the dark

To be kicked

When you're down

To feel like

You've been pushed around

To be on the edge of breakin' down

And no one's there to save you

No you don't know what it's like

Welcome to my life.

"Good enough for me," said Robin.

"Ok, my turn," said Erin. "Beast Boy!"

"Yeah?"

"Truth or Dare?

"Truth," he replied.

"Do you have feelings for someone in this tower, and if you do, descibe that person."

Beast Boy looked incredibly nervous. Then he looked at Raven. He had to admit it; he did have feelings for her. Just get it off your chest now, BB, he thought.

He took a deep breath. "I do have feelings for someone," he started, "and she's the most beautiful girl I've ever had the chance to meet."

Raven took a sharp intake of breath. That was one of the items on the list he made about her when Blyrric went to learn his magic.

"Good enough," said Erin in a slight sing-song voice. "Your turn, BB."

"Right."

But while the Titans were enjoying a game of Truth or Dare, a certain spy was cramming for a test with Cloud and Blossom. In return, he would teach them a bit of Krakish.

"So, Brightpaw," said Blossom, "when you're dividing fractions with mixed numbers, make the mixed munber an improper fraction, then use the reciporcal number and multiply."

"What's the reciprocal?" asked Blyrric.

"You flip over the number on the right. You get it?"

"Yeah. Gunda. Thank you."

Cloud looked up. "Gunda means 'thank you'?"

"No," replied Blyrric, "gunda means 'good'."

"Ohh," she replied. "Anyone but me nervous about tomorrow's assesment?"

"Cloud, you're always nervous," said Jinx. "Besides, it's really easy."

"It's not the test itself that scares me," she said. "It's who's giving it to us."

"The Headmaster?" asked Blyrric.

"No," replied Cloud. "Mr. Storm."

"Aw, he doesn't scare me," said Blyrric.

"Then you're one of the brave few," said Blossom.

Blyrric stopped writing. "Why do you say that?"

"Because, if you've done any history," she replied, "Mr. Storm was, in fact, in the great Nijouro pack of winged wolves."

"What was the Nijouro pack?"

"Only the greatest pack to ever walk the face of Azarath!"

The greatest pack in Azarath, thought Blyrric. Why does that sound familiar?

"Who lead it?"

"Darkstorm Blackpaw!" said Cloud. "You'd have to be stupid to not know that!"

"So, I'm stupid now or something?" said Blyrric. "Cloud, no offense, but you're starting to frink me off!"

"Geez, sor-ry!" said Cloud, obviously offended.

Oooh, tensions are building, Mr. Storm's a powerful warrior, and the Titans are playing Truth or Dare! What happens next? When will Beast Boy admit his feelings for Raven? Why does Mr. Storm use nail polish? Why am I asking you all these questions? Stay tuned!
