Sorry about the shortness, and sorry about the lateness, I was really busy yesterday.

Well, The poll says Slade, but I couldn't use him here, and bee, speedy and Aqualad were tied for 2nd so I picked Bee (Karen) so here it is!

And also, 100 reviews coming up soon (Yay! Thanks guys!) So tell me if you get it, and I will give you a walk-on role in the story! I'll email you w/ the details if you get it, so tell me in your review!

Reviews:

Bree-2006 – No, I don't support robXstar. So sue me (not really). Go ahead, don't read it. I'd rather have a few readers who really like it than a lot who hate it!

WickedWitchoftheSE – yeah, I know right! (my dad says that all the time)

Teenyugiohpotterphantom – yes, she is!

animegoddess12345- Yeah, my friend does that to. That's where I got the idea from (cuz I cant do it but I wish I could). Your CD player? Did it break? It's TaraXRichard, and at one point, Vic mentions he needs money to buy his girlfriend "Jinni" a present, meaning it's CyXJinx. And yeah, Shakira does move like a disfunctional robot.

BlackGothFaerie – Yup, she's grounded. And yup, he aint getting her! Well, read and find out.

Aznka – haha yeah lol

Glean-tastic – haha I cant kill her. she's essential to the plot. Sorry to disapoint you. Also, if I killed her, my friend would kill ME.

WeaselChick – well, here you go!


The Coffee Shop – Chapter 13

I owe you one…

Tara hung on to the gutter for dear life. This is it. She thought. My life is over. Right before I get to go on my big date with Richard. I'm going to die now. Her hand was starting to get sore.

"Maybe I should let go… end it all now." She thought, out loud.

"Why in the world would you want to do that?" asked a voice from below her. She looked down. There stood a girl. She couldn't make out the details from her height, but what she could tell was that this girl had a dark face and dark hair. "If you jump, I can catch you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, just jump."

Tara jumped. The girl, miraculously, caught her.

"How did you do that?" Tara asked the girl.

"Years of baby-sitting. Do you know how many kids get stuck on roofs now a day? I swear, I never did that when I was five…"

Tara laughed. The girl put her down. "My name's Karen."

"Thanks Karen, I owe you one." She could see now that the girl was a little taller than she was. She was African- American and wore a yellow and black striped T-shirt and boy's cargo shorts.

"What were you doing up there anyway?" Tara proceeded to tell her the whole story.

"So you need a ride to your date?"

"Nah, I got my car."

"Oh, okay."

"Well, I should get going. Is there anything I can do to pay you back?"

"Yeah, you know anywhere around here to work? Babysitting is starting to sicken me."

"Yeah, Murray's Coffee Shop…"
