Funny Things Can Happen
Chapter 17
Cleaning Spree
"Hey B.B. what are you doing in there." asked Cyborg waiting to go brush his teeth.
"I'm looking for something." said Beast Boy looking under the sink.
He had been in there for a good two hours. So far he had found; a sandwich, BBQ sauce, napkins, mustard, pickles, olives, bread, tofu, ten sponges, 32 magazines, 70 newspapers, a portable couch, a popcorn maker, and a small TV. He was beginning to wonder if this was a bathroom or an entertainment area. He also found a number of barbed wire pieces. There where pictures of babies and other odd stuff.
"What the hell is wrong here?" he asked himself, as he unlocked the door.
"Thanks man. . . what the fuck?" said Cyborg looking at all the stuff.
"Dude, I don't want to know what you all do in here." said Beast Boy standing up and walking out.
"What do we do in here?" asked Cyborg forgetting all about brushing his teeth and also looking.
"So what's yours?" asked Beast Boy coming in with rubber gloves and a mask, he handed some to Cyborg.
"The BBQ sauce and TV, and three magazines. I don't know how the TV and BBQ got in here." said Cyborg,putting on the stuff.
"You want to help me clean and find things?" asked Beast Boy, dragging in a mop in bucket and placing it outside the door.
Cyborg agreed and they went to get some supplies and rags. Beast Boy got some crates to put things in they didn't need in there. The rest of the team was out for the day, so they where good. Raven was shopping with the rest of the girls. Tomorrow was the 4th of July so it was time for some summer cleaning to be done.
"This goes in the Bathroom pile." said Cyborg handing Beast Boy some of the girl's property.
"This goes in the kitchen." said Beast Boy putting cookies in the basket.
"We need some music." said Cyborg checking in the medical cabinet.
"Got it." said Beast Boy quickly running off, soon the radio was playing with Let's Get It Started first up.
"This goes into Raven's room." said Beast Boy, picking up one of her extra belts.
"This goes into Robin's." said Cyborg passing him one of Robin's weapons.
As they put them into the baskets, they washed everything with 'Germ Free'. There was a lot of Starfire's stuff in there. As Cyborg sorted the cabinet, he evenly organized the girl's stuff from the guy's. He actually started labeling areas. This disturbed Beast Boy a bit.
"Are you secretly one of the clean freaks?" asked Beast Boy.
"No, it just sorts things out. Any way what's wrong with having things clean and neatly labeled?" asked Cyborg, eyeing him.
"Nothing." said Beast Boy sorting the towels.
"Maybe you should do that by size instead of color." said Cyborg.
"Ok." shrugged Beast Boy, re-placing the towels and wash clothes.
"What are you two doing?" asked Raven walking in.
"Cleaning, hey does this mean the rest of the girls are back?" asked Cyborg.
"No, just me. . . Do you guys need help?" asked Raven.
"Yeah, thanks. Can you help sort." said Beast Boy.
"Sure. . . why is their food in here?" she asked in wonder.
"That goes into the box marked Kitchen." said Cyborg.
"Hey what's in my box. . . I was wondering where my extra belt was. I was going to round on Beast Boy if I didn't find it by tomorrow." said Raven sorting things.
"Wash this and place this in Jinx's box, please." said Cyborg handing her Jinx's necklace.
"Ok." said Raven cleaning it and placing it in the box.
"What do you guys want to do after this?" asked Beast Boy.
"Well are you on a cleaning spree?" asked Cyborg.
"Yeah kind of. . . why?" asked Beast Boy.
"Do you guys want to clean the Kitchen next?" asked Raven.
"Then the Living Room." said Beast Boy.
"Then the basement." said Cyborg.
"Then the roof." said Raven.
"Then the Hall." said Cyborg.
"Then the everything else." said Beast Boy.
"Ok, now we sound weird." said Cyborg.
"Yeah, let's just clean and not say what where doing after each cleaning." said Raven.
"Yeah." said Cyborg and Beast Boy.
"Oh my god! Ewe!" said Raven ad the others looked in.
"They don't even have the decency to keep those in their rooms. Get thee tongs." said Cyborg.
"Here, disgusting. So who's do you think is who's." said Beast Boy.
"Robin's, Starfire's, Jinx's, and Terra's." said Cyborg, pointing to them.
"It was nice of them to put their names on them." said Raven.
"It makes it easier to make fun of them." said Beast Boy.
"Yup." said Cyborg picking them up with the tongs and spraying them.
"There's no way I'm whipping them. The spray will have to do it." said Beast Boy, holding up boxes.
An hour later, the bathroom shined. The toilet water was blue and the curtain was bright white. The mirror's where sparkling and everything was organized. They had even added some red and white roses in a blue vase.
"Well this looks nice." said Raven with a smile.
They had changed over the cleaning process. Raven's cloak was in the laundry as well as Beast Boy and Cyborg's uniforms. Raven's belt was off and so where her shoes. She had rolled up he sleeves. Beast Boy was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair a shorts wit no shoes. Cyborg wore a smiler outfit to this. Raven had now decided that maybe she should change.
"Where you going?" Beast Boy asked her.
"To change, you guys already did." said Raven floating to her room as Cyborg vacuumed.
When she met the guys in the kitchen she wore a pair of black shorts and a grey tank top. They got the trash can and started putting old food and junk in it. They put the crossword puzzles in the cabinet of games and stuff. When it was clean, it looked almost like new. They also found the had popsicles from last year, but they didn't expire for anther month. The music had been turned up and summer music was playing loudly. As they finished the kitchen, Beast Boy put a sign on the outside of the door that said, take off shoes before entering, just in case.
After along day of cleaning the trio flopped on the couch and watched TV. Even Raven wasn't in the mood for reading at the moment. The air was on and Cyborg had made lemon aid, which Raven took happily. So they ate popsicles and drank ice cold lemon aid, until Robin came home. He was going to throw out the popsicles, when he realized he wanted one. That and they where all natural ones so they where good. It was 105 degrees out today and they didn't know how everyone could be out and about.
"I hope no one attacks today." said Cyborg.
"They would have to be crazy." said Robin.
AT THE HIVE
The air was broken so you could find the four of them by the fridge. Gizmo was in the freezer , and mammoth sat by the bottom of he fridge. If anyone had walked in, they would see four teenage boys huddled in a fridge and want to join happily.
"Weren't we supposed to rob a bank?" asked Gizmo.
"Do you want to?" asked Mammoth.
"No." said Gizmo.
"Exactly." said the other three.
This was the feeling of every villain in the area. No one wanted to leave their house, especially sense the weather was getting hotter by the minute. If you went outside, you could see people with a frying pan frying eggs on the side walk.
AT THE MALL
"We are some of the only ones here for the sale. This is most wonders." said Starfire, looking at shoes.
"They probably forgot the mall had A.C." said Jinx happily.
"Here I thought we where the only girls at the sale." said Terra pointing to two girls their.
"You guys came for the sale too." said a girl with a smile.
She wore a crimson skirt that reminded someone of a pirate, black sandals, and pink half top. She was generally cheery with shoulder length wavy hair and bright blue eyes. She seemed quite perky besides her companion looked angry.
"How can you wear that?" Terra asked the other one.
The other girl wore black baggy pants, sneakers, chains, and a black tube top that said 'Hott is an Understatement'. They couldn't really see her face, she had crimson lipstick and sunglasses on. A black flame bandana hid most of her hair. Her hair was brown and red, that was certain.
"I love hot weather, actually this weather is very mild for me." said the girl looking at army boots.
"She's crazy, you can call me Zodie. That's H. . . Harley." she said as the girl looked at her.
"Hello Harley." said Starfire extending a hand to the gothic/ punk one.
"Hi." she said extending a tan hand and shaking Starfire's.
"I'm Terra." she said shaking the girls hands.
"Jinx." she said just waving.
"So you guys heading over to Hot Topic later?" asked Zodie with a bright smile.
"You don't look like the type to shop their." said Jinx looking at her.
"I love all types of clothes, but their my favorite. I got this top from Gotham City, not the actual city, but the gothic store in New York." said Zodie with a smile.
"I didn't say that I didn't like it. Yeah where going their, to get something for our friend." said Jinx with a smile.
"Here." said Harley, shoving a bag at Zodie.
"What? Carry your own." said Zodie holding them out.
"Their yours. Mine are here." she said walking off.
"Oh." said Zodie.
"Do you wish to hang with us?" asked Star hopefully.
"Sure." said Zodie happily.
"Your not from here are you?" asked Terra.
"Nope, I live in Newly York at the time, we came here because i have things to do." said Zodie with a smile.
"I'm heading back to the hotel. Besides Hex is here." said Harley walking off.
"She's not very social is she?" asked Jinx.
"No, she mostly keeps to herself. I havn't seen her laugh for a while. I mean you can even get her to smile." said Zodie.
"Sounds like a person that changed." whispered Terra to Starfire who nodded.
"Anyway this is my friend Hex." said Zodie as a girl came up.
She had very tanned skin, that looked natural. Her hair was shoulder length and black with blue streaks. She wore a red shirt that said 'Sweet and Deadly' in black letters with a flirty cat at the bottom. Her white skirt was the only bright thing on her, her black heals where at least four inches tall and very thick.
After a long time of shopping the group had gone for something to eat. As it started to get a little darker outside the group had to split it up. Basically both groups where getting a ride. A red convertible, with black flames pulled up. It was longer than an average one and a boy sat in the front. He had black hair with red highlights and looked bored. The two girls walked off.
"Oh here, maybe will see you there." said Zodie handing Star and the girls an envelope before getting in the car with the boy.
Starfire opened the letter and their where ten tickets inside to a concert. . The band called 'The No-Names' where performing in three days. They wondered why the girl had just gave them the tickets.
"Cool, hey didn't B.B. mention he wanted to go, but the tickets where sold out." said Jinx.
"Yeah, but these are not just tickets, these are what Robin calls back stage passes." said Star.
