All is Fair, Or is it?
Chapter Eleven: Need…good…idea…
By Everclueless
Author's Note:
I'm trying to update this before Christmas because I'll be so busy afterwards and I am busy right now…if not…I'll get it done right after Christmas…hopefully…
There will be more pranks next chapter…
Thank you guys, I've had 200 reviews and that makes me feel really special! (That's a smiley and if it doesn't show up, like usual, then that sucks)
Also, thanks for giving me over one thousand hits! (Does weird dance)
Hehe…Christmas gets to my head…
I just realised that this story is in a C2…interesting… (Thinks psychotic thoughts and grins like a maniac)
The purpose of this chapter is just to be an introduction to some other events…as you'll see… PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF THIS SUCKS
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Please keep reviewing and reading
The boys were up at the crack of dawn. The pressure was on.
'Must think of a good idea…must think of a good idea…' Robin thought, tapping his fingers on the table.
'What would be good for a prank…what would be good for a prank…' Speedy tried brainstorming.
'I'm all out of ideas…' Beast Boy frowned to himself.
'Need to think…need to win…' Aqualad cursed his lack of good ideas.
'Maybe I should quit…then I won't go crackers…and I probably am about to get a crush on another girl or something…' Cyborg shook his head.
Raven walked in.
"Hi, Cyborg" Raven said, flirtatiously but, then again, not flirtatiously.
After all, Raven wanted to mess with them but there was no way that she was going to flirt…she didn't do flirting. So it was more like talking happily…well…for Raven it was talking happily…she hoped it would have the same effect.
It did.
'Why…why's she talking to Cyborg like that? What has he done to her that has made her so happy? Both of his presents were duds…' Aqualad and Beast Boy pondered.
It struck them. Aqualad got furious. Beast Boy was upset but not angry.
'Raven might like him in a special way!'
"Uh…" Cyborg said, blushing as Raven walked closer.
"How are you?" she asked, only an inch away.
"Um…fine…just…fine"
"Good…" Raven stepped towards Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy," Raven mustered a confused look, glad Hotspot wasn't the only good actress…that's right…Hotspot's a good actress...
"Why have you been working out?" she looked confused and was talking quite scornfully.
"I have? I mean…uh…yeah I know I have…uh…um…I just thought that I was getting a bit…uh…out of shape, that's all...um…glad you noticed…?..." Beast Boy said slowly, flexing his muscles in improvisation, smiling a bit.
Raven sniggered in her head.
'This is weird …yet their lies and reactions are very funny. Fish boy looks like he's gonna blow a gasket, Cyborg looks like a beetroot, he's so red, and Beast Boy's acting like an idiot! And I have hardly done anything.'
"Well, I'm glad you care about your health, I know I do" Raven stated, quite honestly.
'But as a friend, or more?' Raven shook her head, throwing the thoughts away.
Raven smirked under her hood, thinking, 'I have not a doubt in my mind that Beast Boy and Cyborg are going to suffer because of Aqualad soon…better get a camera ready and be on the alert…this should be very "funny"…'
Beast Boy's skin was no longer green but red, and with his green hair; he had Christmas colours.
Raven sighed inwardly.
'I'm not sure whether I meant as a friend or more, but why do boys, well, these boys, always assume "or more"? Probably for confidence seeing as they seem to like me and Starfire…anyway…I better get a camera soon to start filming…maybe I can borrow one from Cyborg…wait…if I borrowed one, someone might get suspicious…maybe I'll just sneak into his room, take one and seemingly forget to return it…'
Raven looked up and saw Cyborg and Beast Boy very red with embarrassment and Aqualad very red with anger.
"Anyway…I need to…go now – bye!" she rushed the last bit and melted into the floor. (You know what I mean).
'Maybe I need to improve my skills at lying…my acting's good but my lying isn't that great…'
Raven reached Cyborg's door and melted into the room. She looked around cautiously. She stepped forward.
A huge alarm began blaring.
"INTRUDER! INTRUDER! INTRUDER!"
"Shizit!" Raven cursed.
The door fell down. Cyborg had his sonic cannon up and ready to blast.
"BEAST BOY! GET YOUR PAWS, HANDS, WHATEVER OFF MY - " Cyborg stopped.
"Oh, it's just you." Cyborg sighed, "Sorry Raven, I thought you were Beast Boy"
Cyborg walked to the side and opened a panel, turning off the alarm.
"Why Beast Boy?"
"Because I've recently put an unhackable, almighty, superior security system on the tower making it IMPOSSIBLE for people other than titans to get in so it wouldn't be a villain or fan or something like that and I remember the time Beast Boy sneaked into my room to play that game on my computer and I ended up with a virus. That's the whole reason I made this tight security." Cyborg took a breath and started to gush.
"With a DNA scanner beneath the carpet, in the walls and in the ceiling, it senses if someone, who is not me, comes into my room and an alarm blares if I'm not in the room and it detects someone else is."
Raven smiled at his gushing, 'I wonder if, in his mind, he gushes lovingly like that about me…'
Raven shook her head. She knew she did…like…someone…but who? She hoped it was someone who, at least, returned the feelings…
"Well, it was a bit silly to think it was Beast Boy who entered your room seeing as, just a second ago, you were with him in the main room."
"Never thought of that…hmm…Well, he could've made a robot to come here and get what he wants or he could've made a robot and placed him in the main room with Aqualad, me and you"
"I really wouldn't suggest giving Beast Boy that much credit."
Cyborg chuckled.
"Yeah, he isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the shed, is he? Oh well, he's still a great friend…" Cyborg stopped, his face lined with guilt.
Raven did not notice.
"So, anyway, why are you in my room?" Cyborg gave her a questioning look.
"Uh…I was wondering if…you had a digital camera that I could borrow for a while?" Raven asked.
Cyborg looked her up and down, suspiciously.
"What do you want to borrow the video camera for?"
Raven had to think fast. She said the first thing she could think of.
"Oh, well, I'm just getting it for…uh…a friend of mine?" Raven said, unconvincingly.
She straightened up.
"Yes. I'm just borrowing it so I can tape the best bits of the open mike nights at my current favourite dark café and give the video to a friend I meet up with there…because it's her birthday in four weeks so, as a birthday present because she really loves open mike nights…yes, that's it" She murmured the last three words so Cyborg couldn't hear.
Cyborg still looked at her suspiciously. After a minute, he moved around the room and came back to Raven with a video camera.
"Um…thanks…"
"No problem. Just look after it and keep it away from Starfire."
"Why?"
Cyborg frowned.
"When I let her borrow it awhile ago, she made a video about toe fungus. It made me sick when she forced me to watch it. Also, I caught her trying to feed the video camera some of her puddings. She thought it was hungry…"
"I see…well…I'm going…to my room now…" Raven melted through the ceiling and was in front of Starfire's room.
Raven entered the room, without knocking.
"Hello friend Raven!"
"Yeah…hi…you know, I think you should go give Robin a hug"
"Why?"
"Well, he really is exhausted and…um…I think he needs a hug…uh…yeah…"
"But it's the morning…"
"Yeah well, he didn't get to sleep very well last night, according to the boys…um…and I'm not the hugging type so…why don't you go give Robin a hug?"
"Alright"
"Ok, good" Raven turned to leave but then turned back.
"Hey, Star? Do you like Robin or Speedy?"
"I like them both; they're my friends!"
"No, I mean like like them?"
"…I might…"
Raven smiled inwardly.
Raven thought for a second. Should she tell her about the boys? Then again, what you don't know doesn't hurt you. Not to mention, Star probably wouldn't believe her and, if she did, she would probably make the competition stop; meaning no worldwide funniest home video.
"Friend Raven…you are not telling me to hug friend Robin because of some theory you have about the boys, are you? I do not believe there is anything wrong with them, I did for a few hours, but now I do not."
Raven frowned. She didn't like it when her friends didn't trust her. But her friends didn't like it when she didn't trust them.
"But what about the oven, the freezer, the strangling and…all these weird things happening?"
"Um...well…I think…they're…doing the walk of the sleeping"
"Sleepwalking?"
"Correct. I do not believe there is something wrong with them…" Starfire sounded unsure.
Raven sighed inwardly. Well, she could still get Starfire to do things to mess with the boys' minds. After all, Starfire was giving Robin a hug, wasn't she?
Raven's eyes wandered around the room for a minute. She eyed some shopping bags.
"Clothes?"
"No, they are Lindt and Dairy Milk chocolates. For you for being such a loyal friend...and for putting up with my fifteen hour shopping spree…" Starfire said sheepishly.
"Um…that's nice…" Raven said. An idea struck her.
"Um…Starfire? I got chocolates the other day from Aqualad" She said truthfully, "I would feel like a pig getting even more chocolates. Why don't you give those chocolates to Robin? He loves Lindt and Dairy Milk."
"Of course."
Raven turned to leave again. She spotted some pudding of joy by the door.
"You know, Speedy loves your puddings of joy, maybe you should make him some" Raven turned and left, fully acknowledging she was walking Speedy to a slow and painful death.
After all, Speedy wouldn't refuse to eat it and he'd probably throw up eating it, making Starfire unhappy either way.
No, she wasn't biased in favour of Robin. She was going to take turns torturing the boys.
Raven walked into the main room, still holding the video camera.
The boys were no longer present. They must've all thought of an idea for a prank and left.
A brilliant idea struck her. She could also prank them all at once. She could do the funniest, best prank she could think of on all of them or prank them each individually.
They would accuse each other of pranking themselves when it had actually been her.
She knew it would mean degrading her sophistication but wouldn't that mean a funnier result in the end?
Raven went to her room.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Author:
Okay, next chapter there are pranks…I'll need to think carefully…
So, Raven knows, is getting Starfire to mess with the boys' minds and is messing with their minds herself. Raven intends to really mess with their minds by pranking them – they won't know who pranked them. She has the video all ready.
There wasn't much of Starfire or Speedy or Robin in this chapter but bear with me…muahahahahahahaaaaaaa…..excellent……
