Funny Things Can Happen
Chapter 16
The Mystery Of The Attic
"There is nothing mysterious about it." said Robin after discussing this with Beast Boy.
"What makes you think so?" asked Starfire in wonder.
"Nothing has ever happened up here." said Robin getting a little irritated.
"As of yet." said Beast Boy as they made their way up there.
"For crying out loud. Nothing has ever happened up here." said Robin glaring.
"Actually, the door shut and it wouldn't open. It only opened after I went through it." said Raven getting into the conversation.
"Not you too." said Robin in frustration.
"Maybe it's. . ." Beast Boy was cut off by Raven's hand over his mouth.
"Don't even say it. Because I swear your more of a Jinx than Jinx. The moment the word comes out of yours or Robin's mouth, things happen." said Raven.
"You sound a little paranoid." said Robin.
"I should be. We brought my boyfriend." said Raven.
"You called me your boyfriend, yes!" said Beast Boy starting to dance, but abruptly stopped after almost falling down the steps.
"So, are you not dating?" asked Starfire as they made it to the top floor.
"Yes, but she's never called me it out loud." said Beast Boy smiling.
"Moving on." said Robin opening the tree door.
As they walked in, a beautiful beam of light from the moon shined on it perfectly. The light bulb was dead so they had to keep the door open. The tree was a beautiful apple tree. It didn't touch the ceiling just yet, in fact, it was a good five feet away. Manly because the ceiling was as tall as the leaving room.
"Cool an apple." said Beast Boy picking one.
"Here's the attic and see no ghosts." said Robin smiling.
"NO!" they all yelled, looking a little frightened as Raven just hung her head.
"What?" asked Robin, as if on cue the door slammed shut with a lock.
"Told you. You and Beast Boy are a Jinx when it comes to this." said Raven sitting by the tree and meditating.
Starfire ate an apple as Beast Boy and Robin tried to open the door. None really knew that the door was metal laced with some of Cyborg's material. Making it virtually un brakable. After a few minutes, Raven tried to get out to know avail. After some time Robin had become afraid. This was also due to things flying at them all and things slamming. Starfire started to laugh.
"What's so funny?" asked Beast Boy.
"You all fell for my first prank, you make me so happy. I had friend Cyborg rig the door this morning as too freak you out. Raven helped as well." said Starfire happily, Raven smiled.
"I wasn't scared." said Robin, who had also had some things thrown at him.
"Dude, if one more thing had moved by itself, you would have wet yourself." said Beast Boy.
"Whatever, Star, can you open the door." said Robin walking by the door.
Starfire walked over calmly and was by the hinge when the door flew open, "I guess Cyborg put it to touch."
"Let's get out of here." said Beast Boy.
"Raven stop laughing." said Robin.
"I'm not. Star, please." said Raven getting annoyed.
"It is not me, Beast Boy?" asked Starfire in wonder.
"Hey don't look at me, Robin?" asked Beast Boy.
"It wasn't me. . . Hey I'm the one who asked." said Robin, it was true there was laughing around the attic, by the corner and getting closer.
"AHHH!" they all yelled running down the steps and slamming the door behind them.
"Let's never speak of this again." said Robin in monotone as they sat in the living room.
"Agreed." they all said plopping down.
"Where back." said Jinx coming in the room, followed by Cyborg.
"What did you guys do while we where gone?" asked Cyborg happily.
It was silent, no one spoke. Cyborg just shrugged and left. Jinx had decided to get some food. Just as they where about to actually stand. A flash of lightning and a boom of thunder rang as the door slammed open. They all screamed as Terra walked in a little wet.
"Okay, I'm not that scary am I?" she asked looking at herself.
"No, just bad timing." said Robin, putting his head on Starfire's lap.
NEXT MORNING
Beast Boy was attempting to make cookies, but Cyborg kept running off with his batter. So now came the trap. He had made a fake bowl and filled the dough with chilly powder. Just as expected, he watched a metal hand starting moving around, feeling for the bowl. Beast Boy pushed it a little more towards the hand and he grabbed it. Beast Boy smirked and waited. To his surprise, not just Cyborg came up and ran for water. Raven, Starfire, and Robin did too.
"What the heck." said Beast Boy watching as some dived over the counter to get to the kitchen sink.
"We wanted something sweet." said Cyborg after getting a lot of water.
"Why didn't you just take one bowl then?" asked Beast Boy a little angry.
". . . . I have no answer for that." said Cyborg leaving the area in a hurry and almost knocking over Terra and Jinx as they came from outside.
"What we miss?" asked Terra watching everyone drink water.
"They ate chilly powder cookie dough." said Beast Boy making a new batch.
"And why was it chilly powder?" asked Jinx a little bit of worry on her face.
"It was a trap, they kept taking it all." said Beast Boy.
"Isn't it bad if they keep eating it, because of the un cooked eggs?" asked Terra in wonder.
"Yes." said Jinx sitting at the counter.
"Okay, this is not cookie dough safety time." said Beast Boy.
"You know I don't really think that it's true." said Terra, pointing to the new, unattended, batch of dough with her eyes.
"I agree." said Jinx, as Beast Boy went into the fridge.
When Beast Boy went to get the dough. The bowl was gone and all he saw was blonde and pink hair whip around the corner giggling. He took off his apron and hat and went to the living room to play video games. Cyborg came in quietly behind him.
"Dude, I thought you where making cookies." he said questioningly.
"Nope, I give up. Four batches gone. Not even one made it near the oven. So you make them." said Beast Boy, opening Raven's book.
"But, I don't know how to make cookies." said Cyborg.
"Reading." said Beast Boy pointing to the book, Cyborg soon left.
"Pretending." said Raven sitting next to him.
"Yup." said Beast Boy handing her the book and turning on the TV.
"What happened to the new batch of cookie dough?" asked Raven in wonder.
"Jinx and Terra." he said plainly surfing.
"Friend Beast Boy, I'm sorry for eating the first stage of cookie making. Do you forgive me?" asked Starfire.
"Of course Star, I wasn't that mad." said Beast Boy.
"Oh Thank you friend. I'm pleased you are no longer angry." said Starfire, hugging him.
"Want to watch TV?" he asked handing her the remote as he headed to the kitchen.
"What would you like to watch friend Raven?" asked Starfire.
"You can watch TV Star, I'm going to meditate in my room." said Raven standing up.
"May I join you?" asked Starfire eagerly.
"Yeah come on." said Raven heading down the hall way.
IN THE KITCHEN
"Cyborg, what are you doing?" asked Beast Boy, putting on his apron and hat.
"Making fudge." said Cyborg,who had some how got himself covered in chocolate.
"Well your doing it all wrong. WHAT ARE YOU DOING, STOP POURING THE MILK IN! That's way to much." said Beast Boy running over at an attempt at saving the fudge.
"When did you become a good cook?" asked Cyborg, angrily.
"I get bored at night." said Beast Boy with a shrug.
"Oh ok." said Cyborg.
"Hey, Robin, why did you get rid of all the junk food." said Terra as Jinx and her followed a fleeting Robin.
"You got rid of the junk food, man." said Cyborg in shock.
"We need to eat healthier. Do you know how much unhealthy things we eat in a day." said Robin.
"This coming from a fellow cookie dough muncher. I for one am truly hurt. You out of the club." said Cyborg angrily.
"Yeah really, wait there's a club?" asked Beast Boy, looking at them.
"Yeah, it's got great benefits. . . Why Robin, why?" asked Cyborg fake crying as did Beast Boy.
"Listen you guys, I have to meet Bruce, we'll discuss this later." said Robin leaving and taking the house money with him in case they went to go buy more junk food.
"Ok, I have to show you all something. Robin has gone a little too far, now I must show my secret. Jinx can you go get Raven and Starfire." said Beast Boy.
"Ok." she said hurrying off.
"Meet by my door!" he yelled after her.
"Got it." came a quick reply.
A FEW MINUTES LATER OUTSIDE B.B.'s ROOM
"Why would Robin get rid of such glorious food?" asked Starfire, utterly confused.
"Everyone, follow me." said Beast Boy looking around as they entered the door.
"Dude, it's clean!" said Cyborg looking at it.
"I got bored last night." Beast Boy shrugged.
"Your floor is white?" asked Starfire in shock.
"Yes, Star can you close the door and fly over here." said Beast Boy, before he had finished she was already there.
"Now what's so important?" asked Cyborg.
"Remember when Robin made us go on that diet. Ok, well Terra and Jinx don't. But anyway I decided that I was going to have my sweets and junk food no matter what." said Beast Boy moving his dressed and opening a sliding door, that couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
"Oh my." said Starfire, her eyes glowing.
"It's. . . it's. . . Beautiful." said Cyborg, his eyes big and glossy.
Behind the door was a good sized room, filled with junk food and sweets a plenty. There where chips, twinkies, ho ho's, Cupcakes, a fridge that probably kept cool things in, like pudding, there where all sorts of junk food and sweets. They each grabbed two things and headed out secretively as Beast Boy closed it all up again.
"That was one of your more genius ideas, wasn't it." said Cyborg, happily opening his Gardidos.
"Yup!" he said Happily.

That's a possibility. Maybe after next chapter. Because next chapter I'm working on the fourth of july.
Chibi Scooby:
No one knows why there's a tree in the attic, I was inspired by my one friend who actually found one in her attic. Starfire likes to visit the tree. . . I like The Buttered Milk Thing, it makes you think.
