Hi everyone! A few announcements, one is URtrip related, one real world related.

The real world related one: Today, I met someone really cool.

Can you guess?

No?

It was CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI! Y'know, the author of Eragon and Eldest? He was on his book tour for Eldest and I got to go to one of the bookstores he stopped at! He talked about the books, answered some questions (including one of mine! YEE!), and signed my copies of his books. This is great. Now, I have Eldest, and it's first editon, and it's signed.YEEE!

Okay, I'll stop that.

For a full recap, go to my profile. It'll be there, hopefully.

Now for the URtrip related one: Now begins the first part of the Nothing-To-Do-With-Teh-Plot ministory 'Living With Idiots'! Yep, it's a two-parter! I've wanted to do this since I firstdecided to put TT in the story one obscure night when I was riding my scooter around in circles in my basement pointlessly for about an hour like I always do to get my creative juices flowing. (That, and listening to music on headphones way too loud while walking in circles around my room). How's that for some run-ons?

Anyway, this story takes place in the morning. It features Cosmo, Beast Boy, Raven, and Robin. Oh yeah, Robin. He'll have a great part :). Other characters will come in, but it's mostly them.

And, I'VE STARTED SCHOOL! NOO! AAA! HELP ME, PEEPS!


Answers at forum, as always. And for those who wanted to know what's going on, I got an email from someone saying someone had been banned for answering reviews. I've already been warned once, and I don't want it to happen again.
Chapter 6: Living With Idiots, Part 1

June 27, 2004
Day 10 of Operation Roadtrip
Sometime in the AM

Ah, morning. One of these mornings, in a glass fishbowl on a floor, slept Cosmo, possibly the greatest idiot life and civilization will know. He would be traumatized if you asked him to spell 'DVD'. His main intrests were food and his body parts. And he was currently waking up.

"Good morning wherever this is!" he said in a voice that made Timmy's seem deep and masculine. He pulled away from his sleeping wife, jumped up, transformed into his true form, and ran out of the room. Nobody gave it a second thought.

He had one thought on his usually thoughtless mind- he wanted to see his new friend, that green guy. Animal Kid or something. He wanted to play. He knew that his green friend knew all the best ways to get a thrill out of life, and that was what he needed. Thrill.

Although right now was a less-than desirable time for Cosmo to want thrill. His friend (who I'll actually call BB now) was fast asleep.

"HEYY ANIMAL KID!"

Beast Boy screamed shrilly, leaped out of bed as high as his celing would allow, and landed on the floor, a bruise on his butt in additon to his head.

"Ugh...dude! Do you have any idea what time it is?"

"Nope, but I know it's time for FUN!"

"No, time for sleep..." He tried to climb back on his bed, but Cosmo grabbed his heel.

"C'mon...I'm bored!"

Without knowing it, Cosmo had said the magic words. BB couldn't stand to see anyone bored. "Well...okay. C'mon, let's go do stuff."

He got dressed and walked with Cosmo to the main room. While he walked, Cosmo hummed some old fairy tune and twirled his wand behind his back. Beast Boy watched the wand twirl out of lack of anything else to do. It fascinated him. He wondered what it was.

On the elevator, Cosmo tried to balance his wand on his nose. This only teased BB more and more. He couldn't take it...Finally, as the doors opened and they stepped out, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Hey, dude?"

Cosmo slipped his wand between his legs. "Yeah, buddy?"

"What's that starry-sticky-thingy?"

He sucked on the end. "N-nothing. Nothing at all."

They walked into the main room. "It can't be nothing. It looks so cool."

"Really, it's not."

"Then...you wouldn't mind if I tried it? Thanks!" He grabbed the wand away from Cosmo.

"Hey!"

Beast Boy ignored him. "Ooh, what's it do?" He balanced it on his nose. "Hey, I did it!" It dropped. "Ten seconds, beat that!"

"Uh...Animal Kid? I'm not sure, but I have this feeling that you shouldn't be playing with that!"

"Psht." Beast Boy glanced over. "It's just some stupid toy. A cool stupid toy. Hey, y'want some breakfast? I'm thinkin some tofu bacon..."

"Animal Guy, NO!"

What happened next was kinda overwhelming to BB. He had thought, 'I wish I had tofu bacon'. Unfortunately, that was a wish, and he was holding a wand.

Suddenly, as he was human and had never used magic before,all the energy that BB had seemed to drain. His face sweated. He tried to pry his hands off the wand, but they stuck like glue. A yellow beam shot from the wand...

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

...And things went dark for a second.


He opened his eyes. He struggled up. He now felt perfectly fine.

He blinked. The wand in his hand was still smoking-and a plate of what looked like slighly undercooked bacon lay in front of his feet. He poked it.

"It's...tofu bacon," he said, not beliving. "Cosmo, dude...how did this get here?"

Cosmo laughed a bit. "You wished for it," he said. (Do I have to explain?)

"Wished?"

"It's a magic wand! You wish, it grants!"

"Anything? ANYTHING?" His face lit up like the Fourth of July. "Y'mean, I could wish for money? For Raven to finally see me as a man? For-"

"Well, there's rules," he said.

"Aw man. What kinda rules?"

"Y'know...no counterfeiting, no interfering with true love, stuff like that."

"Aw man!" He kicked the ground. "Am I free besides that?"

"Pretty much."

A transformation came over Beast Boy's face. His dark olive eyes seemed very bright. He clutched Cosmo's wand very tightly. A mischevious smile came over his face. His entire body seemed to twitch with exictement. Finally, he spun around, seeming about three inches taller.

"Cosmo..." he said, in a very serious voice, "I wish that I could spend the entire day having fun with this. And y'know what? IT'S GRANTED! MUHUHAHAHA!"


Uh oh, Cosmo. You just made this biggest mistake anyone can make.
