(Don't forget it) BTW, I am UNGROUNDED! If that's even a word, but that's good, right? Also, I changed the club name. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE SUGGESTIONS, BUT I CHOSE THE ONE THAT I THOUGHT WAS BEST. DON'T HATE ME, PLEASE! Look at the last chapter to see the name. I changed it up a little. Also, it should be in this chapter, too.
Changeling grinned stupidly at everyone. Seeing that no one was moving, his grin faded.
"Dudes! Come on! Get ready! We don't have all day, ya know…" he said. With a couple of annoyed sighs, everyone shuffled out of the room to get ready.
A few minutes passed and the rest of the Titans came in. Raven was wearing a one-piece black bathing suit with a pair of black short shorts and black flip-flops. Nightwing was wearing a pair of black and blue swim trunks with navy blue flip-flops and a black T-shirt. But, of course, he still had his mask on. Marcus had on a pair of red and black swim trunks and black and red flip flops and a red T-shirt. Last, (but most definitely not least) was Kori. (She wore an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow polka dot bikini. Oh, great, now that song is stuck in my head… she wore a- NO!) She wore a white t-shirt, red short shorts, and white flip flops. She wore her swim-wear under her clothes, so you will just have to wait till we get to the beach to what she was wearing. But… where's Cyborg? Oh, here he come's now… OMG!
Cyborg was wearing ABSOLUTELY nothing. (AHH! … no.) But… that is because he doesn't wear any clothes… silly me. Raven threw a T-shirt at Changeling and he put it on.
"Let's go, y'all!" Cyborg said as he raced for the door, closely followed by Changeling.
"Dude! I call Shotgun!" Changeling yelled, but as he neared the front passenger seat, someone's foot stuck out in front of him and tripped him. He heard the door open and close. He looked up and saw Raven smirking at him in the front seat.
"Dude! That's so not fair! I called shotgun!" Changeling complained as he climbed into the back seat. He slouched in his chair and crossed his arms as he heard the engine start up. He also heard Nightwing's night cycle and Marcus's car start up. They all drove off toward the beach, and it was a fairly quiet ride, if you wouldn't count Changeling complaining about sitting in the back.
They pulled into the beach and immediately piled onto the beach. Cyborg went to find a dune buggy, while Raven went with her towel and umbrella to find a nice reading spot on the sand. Marcus and Kori went to rent surf boards. Nightwing and Changeling decided to stay where they were and chat, and Nightwing intended to watch Kori.
Stalker… Raven thought to herself.
Marcus took off his T-shirt and Kori took her clothes off (eww… that didn't sound right…) to reveal her red and black bikini. They took their boards and waded in the water, waiting for a wave.
"So… where'd you learn how to surf?" Kori asked.
"Well… I've traveled to a bunch of places and I've learned to surf somewhere in the Southern California area." Marcus answered. "Hey… where did you learn?"
"Oh… well, umm… Nightwing taught me a little before I left…" she answered. Marcus suddenly felt a pang of jealousy toward Kori's x-best friend… he didn't know why he was jealous of someone who had been nothing more than a best friend, though…
They caught a big wave and paddled toward it. They both waited for the right moment till they stood up on their boards, using their weight to balance themselves. The swerved back and forth on the waves on till the wave was not big enough to carry them. They turned around and paddled and waited for another wave.
Raven looked at Marcus and Kori talking while they waited for a decent wave. Then she saw Kori laughing at something she had just got done saying, and Marcus scowling at her. Then she saw something else… Marcus jumped off his board and tackled Kori into the water playfully. When they surfaced again, Kori splashed at Marcus playfully, who splashed her back. Raven smirked and closed her eyes… Azarath Metrion Zinthos…
Isn't that cute? Raven taunted Nightwing. (She knew that he would be watching her… you know… the bikini thing?)
Shut up, Raven. Nightwing though back.
Oh, but it's true. It looks like they like each other a lot… Raven pushed on.
… Raven… Nightwing dragged her name as if he was waiting for her permission to continue his statement.
What? Raven asked.
GET OUTTA MY MIND! Nightwing yelled. Suddenly, he had a massive headache and he heard Raven's voice…
QUIT YELLING! IT HURTS! And she left.
Nightwing's headache went away, and he stood there, grabbing his head in pain.
"Dude! What's your problem?" Changeling asked. Nightwing glared at him.
"WHAT!" Changeling whined.
"Nothing." Nightwing answered. Garfield suddenly started bursting out laughing out of nowhere.
"What?" Nightwing asked.
"Changeling stopped and took a couple of breathes, trying to calm himself. But, he started laughing again. Nightwing looked at Raven and gave her a confused look. She rolled her eyes and buried her face back in her book.
"He's telling himself jokes." She told him. Nightwing smirked at Changeling, who was now rolling on the floor, laughing. Kori and Marcus came back, dragging themselves in the wet sand. Kori just sat on the sand with the salty sea water covering her legs. Marcus sat next to her and fell backwards, so he was lying in the sand.
Nightwing grimaced and looked away. Can't they stop googly-eying each other for ONE second!
A few guys stopped to check Kori out. She didn't look to comfortable about it, and Marcus didn't act comfortable with it. In respond to the crude whistles and comments, he glared at them and sent them on their way.
Marcus had finally had enough, and he playfully picked Kori up bridal style and carried her into the deep end of the water. Changeling turned into a dolphin and followed. Marcus placed Kori down and they started to talk and swim around. All of the sudden, Kori screamed and jumped on Marcus. She looked all around her in the water.
"If you stay completely still, maybe it won't eat you!" Kori told Marcus.
"What? Kori, what the hell are you talking about?" A green dolphin suddenly popped out of the water, knocking both of them into the water.
"Changeling!" Kori yelled before falling into the water. Changeling morphed back to his human form and burst out laughing. Kori and Marcus resurfaces, and they didn't looked to amused. Changeling gulped and morphed back into a dolphin and started swimming for his life back to the shore, with Marcus and Kori quickly following.
So… That was pretty much their day at the beach. Cyborg riding around, kicking up sand in his dune buggy, Nightwing being jealous of Marcus, Raven tormenting Nightwing, Marcus and Kori flirting, and Changeling just dealing with it all.
They all got back to the Tower and all headed toward the bathrooms. There were four bathrooms, and there were six people. All of them desperate for a shower. So, they were all running, levitating, or flying toward the bathrooms. So… it ended up that Raven, Nightwing, Kori, and Marcus were the first to the bathrooms.
"DUDE! THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU CHEATED!" Changeling whined.
"Yeah, man!" Cyborg agreed. They all laughed and went to take their showers, except for Raven. She stayed in the doorway, smirking at them.
"All is fair in a race to the bathroom!" she yelled before slamming the door in their faces.
"UGH!" Raven could hear them yelling and complaining while they walked away.
"HURRY UP!" They heard Cyborg say.
Nightwing came out of the bathroom first. He walked toward the main room, feeling refreshed. He came into the room and saw Cyborg and Changeling sitting on the edge of the couch. When he came in, they turned.
"FINALLY!" They said. They looked at each other.
"Uh… hehe… yeah……" They both paused, and then took off running for the door. Before they could open it, Raven came through, and they bumped into her. She flew into the opposite wall, and she glared at them. Changeling and Cyborg looked at each other before running for their lives toward the bathrooms.
"You… you… UGH! I JUST TOOK A SHOWER!" Raven yelled after them. She glared at them and decided to let them be.
Marcus and Kori finished their showers soon after Nightwing and Raven did. They came down the hall and looked at Raven. They looked at each other.
"Yep." They said to each other, referring to Cyborg and Changeling running away from something. Raven glared at them. Kori shrugged and they plopped onto the couch and started to flip through the channels. Raven went to take another shower.
Cyborg, Raven, and Changeling soon came out of their showers and into the main room. They heard the doorbell and Cyborg brightened.
"That would be Bee." He said as he ran to the door to open it.
"Hey, Sparky."
"Hey, Cyborg!
"What's up, Cyborg?"
"Hola, Senior Cyborg!"
Cyborg opened the door wider to let the company in.
"And… the rest of the Titans East." He added. The rest of the Titans East piled into the Tower and made themselves at home, talking with each other, and a LOT of flirting. Marcus made sure not to leave Kori alone with any of these people, and so did Nightwing. He'd rather see Kori with Marcus than with Speedy, or even Aquaman. He didn't have to worry about Mas y Menos, because he knew they didn't compare. (A/N: OMG! I feel bad now! . I'M SORRY MAS Y MENOS! I THINK YOU'RE CUUUTE! … o.O in a cute little boy way. )
Kori looked at the time. It was 6:30 p.m. Thee party started at 7.
"Umm... don't you think we should get ready?" she asked. The others looked at the time and the room filled with frantic remarks:
"Oh my God!"
"C'mon!"
"CRAP!"
"¡Apuro!" (Hurry)
They all scrambled out of the main room and into the bathrooms, guestrooms, or bedrooms to change into their party wear. There was supposed to be a contest for the best outfit. The winner would be named Miss Cheers. Kori and Bee would be entering.
When they all came out, they were wearing their club wear. The guys were pretty much wearing the same thing… a T-shirt of sorts, and jeans. The girls, on the other hand…
Raven was wearing black bell-bottomy jeans, and a belly halter top with black tennis shoes. She had her hair down like she always did, and she had Black diamond studded earrings.
Bumble Bee was wearing a black belly tank top and a yellow leather mini-skirt. She also had black leather ankle boots with a yellow zipper and buttons on the side, which made her legs look longer. Her hair was in the normal fashion she usually had it in, and she had gold hoop earrings.
Kori had on a navy-blue belly tube-top and dark jean short shorts. She also had black leather boots that stopped just below her knees. Her hair was up in a high pony-tail and she let two long bags hang off the sides of her face. She had silver star-shaped studded earrings…
(A.N: Yeah, yeah, I know that was boring, but it was short, right? Besides, some of you have no taste in clothing and you NEED me to tell you what they are wearing or you'll imagine them in baggy shirts that are 5 sizes too big, and high waters. . we don't want that, now, do we? NOW QUIT YOUR WHINING!)
There was a lot of drooling on the behalf of the guys. They soon gained control of themselves and drove on to the club house. They all piled into their assorted vehicles. There was Vesper's rented sports car, the T-car, the R-cycle, and the vehicles belonging to the Titans East.
When they drove into the parking lot of the club, they saw the bright blue neon lights of the sign: "CHEER'S" it blinked at them. They walked into the club and started doing their own thing. Bee and Kori signed up for the competition. An hour went by of dancing and fun, until they heard the DJ over the speakers.
"OK, y'all, it's time for the Miss Cheers competition! All contestants, come the back, please!" he said over a microphone. He put the mic up and turned some music on, and went to the back. Bee and Kori looked at each other and smiled. They looked at their friends, waved, and went on their way.
When they went to the beck, they saw that there was a fair amount of people there. There were about 25 people competing. A lot of them were wearing bright colors, hoping it wound catch attention. Yeah right… like guys will actually vote for you because you're wearing pink. They all received numbers. Bee was number 9 and Kori was number 17. They were to come up when their number was called.
A lot of people went up, and Bee and Kori heard cheering and whistles. It was Bee's turn. Kori smiled at her.
"Good luck." She said. Bee grinned at her.
"Girl, I don't need luck to win this thing, and neither do you." She stated playfully. Kori laughed.
"Number nine!" called the DJ. Bee smiled at Kori and walked through the curtains. There was cheering and whistling once again, but this time, she heard Cyborg's loud voice.
"BOO'YA! GO, BEE!"
Kori laughed out loud to herself. She shook her head. What a goofball…she stated. Bee came back with a huge grin on her face.
"That was fun, Kori." She almost replaced her large happy smile with a disappointed frown. But she managed to keep her composure. It felt weird calling Starfire Kori. It was a lot weirder than calling Robin Nightwing. She shook off the feeling and waited for Kori's name to be called.
More people passes, and it was finally Kori's turn.
"You look great. Go get'm, Girl." Bee told her before her number was called.
"Number seventeen."
Kori walked onto the stage. The only thing she and Bee heard, along with everyone else there, was a tremendous amount of cheering and whistling. When Kori came off the stage and back through the curtain, she was greeted by jealous looks and glares. Bee came up to her.
"See? Told ya that you didn't need luck!" she said cheerfully.
"Thanks, Bee." Kori said to her friend. Maybe I overdid it with the tubetop… she thought to herself as she looked at all the glares she was still receiving.
"Everyone, please place your votes into the box near the back table. Votes will be counted in one hour." The DJ announced over the speakers. The music came back on and people went back to talking, and some to the voting box.
Bee and Kori came back to their friends, and they all went back to what they were doing before. Raven and Garfield went to the bar. Nightwing and Aquaman stayed where they were and talked. They weren't really dancing people, and they didn't like the idea of dancing with people they didn't know. Speedy, on the other hand, didn't mind hitting on every single girl that he saw. Cyborg and Bumble Bee went to dancing, and Kori and Marcus went to the bar.
Kori and Marcus sat at the barstool and the bartender brought them drinks. They started talking, and it wasn't long before Kori had gotten slightly drunk. She started to hiccup every bow and again, and she looked tired. Marcus decided to use this to his advantage.
"So… how do you know the Titans?" he asked, hoping he would get real answers.
"Oh, umm… /hic/ We were all best friends at a time." She looked behind him. "Ooh, pink elephants!" Marcus rolled his eyes.
"So… did you like Nightwing?" he asked.
"Umm… ya." She droned.
"So… why'd ya leave?" Marcus asked.
"Cuz. Robbie-Poo went fucking with someone else." Kori looked down sadly. "She was a preppy big-lip bitch. An ungrateful whore." She answered.
"Who is… Robbie-Poo?" he asked.
"Oh, that was Robin. He sexy… /hic/" Kori said.
"And you liked him?" Marcus inquired.
"Uh-huh. /hic/" Kori answered.
"And that's why you left? Because Robin went out with someone else?" he asked.
"… Yep." She said.
Marcus decided to stay quiet for a while. Kori did the same. Eventually, she came around and held her head in pain.
"Oww… she moaned. Marcus looked at her.
"You OK?" he asked.
"Yeah…" Kori answered. Marcus looked away and closed his eyes in thought. Kori looked at him curiously and opened her mouth to say something, but she was cut off by…
"Folks, it's time to announce the first ever Miss Cheers!" the DJ looked at a piece of paper and smiled. "Here it is! Now this one was also my personal favorite: Number 17! Kori Anders!"
Kori grinned widely and cheers filled the atmosphere of the room. Kori stepped onto the stage and she received a white ribbon labeled 'Miss Cheers'.
"Congratulations!" the DJ said, shaking her hand unnecessarily.
Kori smiled at him and whispered something in his ear that made him drop her hand instantly. He cleared his throat.
"Ahem… well, that's all, folks!" he finished and both he and Kori stepped off the stage. The rest of the party went on and the Titans went home. The Titans East went back to their Tower, and at the original Titans Tower, everyone went to bed, all with something rather on his or her mind.
Why didn't Bee win!
Changeling's an idiot…
DAMN YOU, MARCUS!
Wow, I won! Tee hee…
Dude, that was awesome!
…Who is Robin?
