Hi there! Now for the chapter that was supposed to be Chapter 3 but got pushed back-TEH FOOD FIGHTING!
This is the first of the 'Funny-with-absolutely-no-aim Trio', three chapters in a row that are, well, funny with absolutely no aim. Don't worry, I'll get some seriousness in here. Right now the goal is to make this as funny as humanely possible.
I'll explain this a little better than I did before.
Basically, FFnet has banned the auths from answering reviews, so all answers will be over at the forums until this is lifted. Get it? Got it.
And while you're at it, can you join the forum? We're in desperate need of members. :)
(If you read 'Just Kids', you have already recieved this message)
I'll keep posting this till it's hammered through. Tell me when it's hammered, kay? -holds up hammer-
Chapter 5: The Food Fight
It was five minutes into dinner.
All was quiet.
This was very strange.
There was nothing but the sound of chewing. It was very uncomfortable. Finally, feeling bored out of his skull, Beast Boy tried to make conversation with Sam.
"So..." he said nervously. "You...like that, uh, don't ya?" He laughed a little.
"Mm hmm, ish rehl guhd." Her mouth was full. If it wasn't, my spelling would nevr b tht bd.
"You really think so?" He smiled. "I thought I was the only one who liked it. I'm a vegetarian, y'know."
"Rehly?" She swallowed. "So am I!"
"Cool!"
Meanwhile, on the other side of the table, a similar conversation was taking place.
"So...you like meat too?" Tucker smiled.
"Yeah." Cyborg shrugged.
"Yep, a carnivore doomed to a vegatarian friend."
"Me too."
"Huh?"
"BB over there's like your friend. He's all tofu tofu tofu STINKIN TOFU! It tastes horrible, that junk! Ulk...just talking about it makes me feel sick." He clutched his stomach.
Unforunately, somebody heard him.
Sam looked up from her burger. "Tofu isn't that bad!" she shouted. "It's a nutritous meat-free substitute that's just as good as your stinking meat!"
"It tastes like-" Tucker said a word I won't repeat.
Beast Boy put his foot on the table, right into Starfire's punch. "Oh, you wanna go one right now?"
"Go on! I could take you any day!"
Raven looked pretty irked. "Will you be quiet, I'm trying to eat."
"Stay out of this, Raven!" Beast Boy yelled. "Now, ready to taste my fury?"
"Just as soon as I get a glass of water!"
Danny sighed. "Geez, it's not that big of a deal." He procceded to take a bite of his hamburger. Unknown to him, a pickle and a bit of patty had flown out of the burger. The patty landed on Beast Boy, the pickle on Tucker.
Tucker wiped the pickle off his face in rage. "So that's how you wanna play it, huh? Well, we accept. FOOD FIGHT!" He pciked up his Bic Mac and threw it. It hit Sam square in the face. She, seething, grabbed some fries and turned them into projectiles.
Robin and Danny slammed their heads on the table. "Oh no, not again," they said together.
3 hours later
It's amazing how things can change in3 short hours. The food fight had gone from a fight to a full-blown war. No, I'm serious. Everyone not involved watched at the sidelines, eyes narrowed, as the Armies of Two flung food at each other from makeshift forts.
They could barely see Sam and Beast Boy crouched behind one, covered in barbecue sauce and chicken, preparing to launch one final assault. Behind the other, covered in lettuce and ranch dressing, Tucker and Cyborg were working on some sort of complex chart thing. All four had manic grins on their faces, like they were sure of a win.
The ones not involved, Danny, Robin, Raven, Starfire, Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda, were now bored out of their skulls and really wanted them to stop freaking fighting so they could get to sleep. They were even throwing some food themselves, and when they got REALLY cranky they'd try to smash the forts.
Things were getting pretty ugly.
Finally, for the sake of everyone's sanity, including yours, Robin decided to end it.
"Will you all just SHUT UP?" He screamed, standing in the middle of the forts. "LISTEN TO ME! IT IS NINE O CLOCK AT NIGHT! YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOLVED THIS BY NOW!"
The feuding four stopped...feuding. "Uhh..."
"That's an order! Now, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and whoever you two are, clean this up. The rest of you, follow me to the guest room. Your friends will be along later." He walked through the slidy doors. Danny caught up to him.
"I...really like your place," he said hesitantly. "Especially those slidy doors."
"Yeah. Everyone seems to think those are really cool." He laughed a little.
Danny nodded. "So...are you guys, you know...really superheroes?"
"Sure as pie."
"Y'mean, with powers and everything?"
"Well, not me. All the others do."
"Oh, okay. Because...if you are, then I feel no guilt in saying that that is with no doubt the wierdest outfit I've ever seen. I mean, I'm no fashion expert, but really, spandex? Doesn't it itch? And what's with the mask?"
Robin's eyes narrowed to slits. "That's classified information," he said. "And unless you want to clean up, I suggest you refrain from talking until we get to the room."
"Uh, yeah, I was going to shut up anyway, eh heh." He acted afraid, but on the inside, Danny was smiling. He felt as though he were among his own kind. Oh sure,Sam and Tucker were his own kind, but these people were the real deal. They had had odd stuff happening to them all their lives. His friends has only been caught in the whirlwind because of the accident. For one, fleeting moment, he felt like he wanted to stay here forever.
Little did he know how short-lived these thoughts would be.
"Okay, guest room over here," Robin said at last, opening a door on the eighth floor. It was a plain-looking room, that looked almost excatly the same as the rest of the Tower. It was grayish, had a few windows, six beds, its own TV, and a great view of the lake.
"It's a little rough around the edges, but you should be able to sleep." He smiled. "The others'll be along as soon as they clean up dinner. G'night!" He shut the door, then opened it again.
"Oh, if ya get up before ten, order in McDonalds. We haven't cleaned out the foodstuffs in a while." He shut the door. With nothing else to do, Danny jumped into bed. He was asleep before he hit the pillow.
This wasn't as funny as I wanted it to be :(. -SP
