Friday:
"Ha! I win!" Jinx boasted of her victory to the entire table.
"So, it's our first time playing, of course you won!" Poogle growled.
"I still won." Jinx had grabbed Silkie and was dancing a make-shift dance with the little grub.
"When did you say you last played this game?" Reena threw her remaining card down on the table, revealing 'Sun'.
"A while ago back at the Hive. If I remember correctly, Gizmo won."
"Now that's an embarrassing loss." Liz sighed, annoyed that she lost to someone who had lost to Gizmo.
"Anyway, wanna go another round?" Karen offered.
"Sure, but this time we'd better make sure Jinx doesn't win." Reena smiled.
Poof.
"Uh, being transported to a place where we don't know where we are once a week is enough, twice is too much." Poogle growled.
"Welcome all, to the tournament of Champions!"
"Not him again." Karen sighed, looking around the room to see who else was there. The crazy monkey guy went on to describe the rules, though the five 'Titians' already knew what was coming.
"Are you all willing to play?"
"We are." Jinx raised her hand to signal that the five of them were ready. They had to be, as they knew quite well that if they either lost or forfeited, he would do something funky to them that seemed like kidnapping.
"All of us too." A voice spoke out of the crowd.
"Then it's settled, the match will begin in a few moments." He promptly vanished.
"Who are you, and why are you dressed up like Robin?" it was Bee, yelling at Jinx.
"Uh, yeah, about that…" Jinx just shrugged.
"We've been switched with the real Titians thanks to an inter-dimensional demon. Why, we don't know. Anyway, I'm Poogle."
"I'm Karen."
"I'm Reena."
"And I'm Liz."
"I'm guessing this is going to be a repeat of what happened last time?" Aqualad asked Speedy.
"Probably. We'd better make sure that the strongest hero is the winner, or at least someone who knows what's coming." Speedy replied.
"What happened last time?" Bee asked, and so the three of them continued a nice little chat.
"And thus we begin!" suddenly the creepy monkey (Scooter: He's not a monkey mom!) reappeared. Thus, the ten people standing in the room all vanished. "Robin vs. Raven, Beast 'Boy' vs. Bumblebee, Starfire vs. Wildebeest, Cyborg vs. Speedy, and Aqualad vs. Hotspot. Let the tournament begin!"
"Come on, that's just plain not fair!" Karen screamed at the walls of their odd all-white area.
"Yeah, I'm not gonna fight my friend!" Jinx yelled and promptly sat her butt on the ground, Karen doing the same, side by side. That was the extent of excitement for the two of them for the whole day.
"Uh, I really do like you, it's just that," Reena started, beginning to transform into her true form.
"I know, but I'm still gonna kick your butt!" Bee vs. Reena, this could get interesting.
"Not if I kick yours first!" Reena snapped at the yellow and black flying girl. Naturally their fight (in a woody area) went on for a few minutes, snapping and electrical shots abound, before Bee finally managed to smack Reena.
"Winner, Bumblebee!" Reena vanished and Bee was transported back into the main room.
"OK then, uh," Poogle was just staring at her opponent. "Yeah, I'm sorry about this." Poogle took a shot at him with her starbolts, which he naturally jumped to avoid. Poogle then promptly 'ran away' and took to the air, where she continued to keep shooting at her opponent. Eventually she hit him.
"Winner, Starfire!"
"Hi Speedy, nice to meet you." Liz naturally just wanted to chat, but Speedy knew what to do. "Hey, stop shooting at me!" Needless to say, Speedy won, due to Liz's lack of aggression (now that I think about it, normally she's pretty passive).
"Winner, Speedy!"
"Hey Speedy, you won!" Bee high-fived her teammate. "And Aqualad you too!"
"Uh, who won, Karen or Jinx?" Poogle suddenly realized that none of her friends had won, except for the two that were still 'battling'.
"Well, it looks like a tie."
"Let me guess, they've sat down and started debating over something completely irrelevant." Poogle smiled.
"Who's Noa?"
"That answers that question, but raises so many others." Poogle was curious as to why they were talking about the little Drew.
"Hey you two! Get fighting!"
"I'm not going to fight her!" both Karen and Jinx screamed to the monkey man in unison. "You're just going to have to accept a tie." (They both said two lines in unison, wasn't it only Poogle's pets who did that before?)
"Fine."
"Cool! Karen, Jinx, you both made it! Reena and Liz didn't though…" Poogle for some reason hugged her friends when they returned from their 'fight'.
"Get some rest heroes, for tomorrow, you face round two!" and they all wandered off to their rooms.
"Great, so it's going to be Saturday before we get home." Poogle growled as she got into her bed. "Did I just call Titians Tower 'home'?" Jinx and Karen nodded. "We really need to get back home, to our real homes."
"No kidding, just thinking about all the great idiotic boy battles I'm missing gets me depressed." Jinx sighed.
"Home is where you keep the psycho people." Karen smiled as she took a bite out of her dinner, a granola bar she had brought along by accident.
