Hiyehs! Wow, I actually didn't update yesterday. Wehoo! My sugar rush has slowed! Slightly...

cakreut12: Yep, Garfield. Always thought that was funny. :)

BeastBoyandKingdomHeartsLover: Yes, you have to read em all. There's an important secret in Book 5 that's essential to the story.

wally's girlfriend: Thanks!

Green Phantom Queen: He'll be pretty surprised, especially when they interrupt his...thinking.

Rakahn: Hm...I'm not really on any of the sides of the dispute (Dick, Tim, Jase, that other person (Terry?), or just Robin), I just like thinking of him as Dick. It's a funny name.

Overactive Mind: Yeah...that is odd. Maybe they don't have TT where she is.

darklite-spirit: Mm hmm...

Disclaimer (I fired the old disclamer for being too stupid. Now the disclaimer is me.): I do not own DP,FOP, TT, JN, SBSP, the Packers, or the Redskins. I wish the Redskins could do better. They're my home team.
Chapter 3: Wet Start

"I'm SIIIIINGING in the rain, just SIIIIIINGING in the rain..."

Robin leaned back against the shower wall. He let thecold shower water pour over his face (masked), his chest, his legs, and the boxer shorts he always wore in the shower just in case a fangirl decided to attack him while showering. This happened at least twice a week.

He scrubbed his back with the scrubber brush thing. Right now, he was thinking. What about? Slade, about all the times he had kicked the guy's sorry butt, other villans and their hurting hineys, Starfire (though he tried to control these thoughts), dinner,and tomorrow night's football game. Packers vs. Redskins. His team? Packers. Duh. The Redskins always lost. Robin played to win.

Singing always helped these thoughts along. Sometimes he brought in a waterproof radio, sometimes he sang alone. Now, he was doing the alone thang. Not that he was any great shakes at singing. There were two singers in the Tower, who they were I don't know. But Robin wasn't one of them. His voice cracked on the high notes.

Right now, he wanted to relax. Have silence, let it all go...

BANG.

Oh crack, Robin thought. Fangirls. And from the sound of it, she has friends.

Robin tried to reach for his utility belt inconspicuously...

Flush.

The water heated up to a very high level. Obviously, the girls were trying to get him out. No, he was going to grin and bear it...

Flush.

He closed his eyes as the water seemed to burn his skin.

Flush.

"YEOOOOUUCH!" Robin shot out of the shower like a rocket and jumped into the toilet. The cold water cooled off his burning limbs, but as if to add irritance to injury, he saw Beast Boy's fuzzy green elf face looming over him.

"Oh, hey Rob!" Beast Boy smiled. "Some people out here wanted to talk to you."

"Beast Boy, can't you see I'm in the shower?"

"Actually, you look more like you forgot how to use the toilet." He laughed a bit.

"Alright, alright!" Robin pulled himself out of the toilet, and, forgetting he was only in boxer shorts, a shower cap, and holding a back scrubber, he slammed the door open. "Yeah, yeah, whaddya want?"

Standing there, along with Starfire and Cyborg,were some of the most normal people he had ever seen. And when you live with an alien, a half-robot, a beast-boy-thing, and a depressed portal demon, normal is very wierd. He wasn't too happy to see that two of them were female. One female, with swirly pink hair, was currently whispering something into the ear of a green-haired guy. The other was staring right at him, eyes wide, disturbed, but at the same time overjoyed. A black-haired boy was slowly inching away from her.

Except for one brown-haired kid, they all looked to be about his age.

"Who the heck are you?" he said. He was inching back towards the bathroom, maybe to snag the utility belt...

Everyone except the black-haired kid stepped back. "Ehrhem...uhh...well...y'see, my friends and I...we...uh...uh..."

Robin's eyes narrowed. "I can see you have no idea what you're doing."

"No, I don't. We...really didn't mean to interrupt your shower, whoever you are..."

"Robin. The name's Robin."

"Yeah, that...I knew that, just...nervous...anyway, we know you'll never believe us, or maybe you will and not tell us why, but apparently we've been sent here by this person, and we have to do stuff. Funny, huh?"

"Yeah, sure. Now, unless you can present proof that we can trust you, we're going to have to throw you out."

"Will this help?"The kidpulled out a strange disc. Robin grabbed it and studied it. His eyes widened. He looked up, smiling.

"Man, you're welcome here anytime," Robin said. "Speaking of which, what's your name?"

"Uh...Danny. This is Sam, she's cool, that's Tuck, also cool, there's Timmy, he's awesome, that's Cosmo, he's an idiot, and that's Wanda. She's not that cool." He pointed to the approporiate person. Wanda didn't look too happy.

"I see. Okay, I need to get back in. Cyborg, Beast Boy, get aquainted with our guests. Show them around.They're going to be here a while."

"But-" Cyborg said, "What did that disc have to do with anything?"

"I'll tell you after dinner," Robin said. "Starfire, go wake up Raven. Tell her everything that you just saw."

"And us?"Cosmo said.

Cyborg and BB smiled at each other. Beast Boy put a han on Cosmo's shoulder. "You guys are coming with us!"

"We have loads to show you."

"Yeah, we're going to have some fun!"

"Okay..." Danny said. "And what exactly is your definiton of 'fun'?"

"You'll see. C'mon, the journey awaits!" Cyborg and Beast Boy ran down the hall, laughing like maniacs. Our heroes stood there, dumbfounded.

"What was that?" Tucker said.

"Whatever it was," Timmy said, "It's telling me we're actually going to have fun here! That Beast Boy seems like a great guy."

"Agreed." They ran down the hall.

And for the first time in a while, nobody felt suspicous. These people were their age, enjoyed a good time, and, apparently, had Danny's occupation. The one thing that bothered everyone was this fifth Titan, Raven. Beast Boy said that she wasn't one to meet. Why was that? Maybe it was just him being him. (Don't worry, peeps, it was, there's nothing going with her...or is there?)

Either way, they just wanted to relax. Enjoy. Hang. Like kids should.

Yeah, like they REALLY should.
