Chapter I: Double Preparations
All was quiet in the Tower. Cyborg was humming to himself as he cooked dinner. Beast Boy was trying to beat Robin's high score. Starfire was watching the stars. Robin was attacking the punching bag (and losing). Raven was meditating in her spot by the window. As for the Titans' friends, Fayrii and Jack, they were meditating.
"Hey Fayrii and Jack?" Beast Boy started. The two Half-faeries opened one eye. "How come your powers are different than Ravens?"
"Our psy is from another dimension," Fayrii stated.
"Therefore it has different properties," Jack continued.
"All psy has some basic similarities."
"Yet since ours is taught by Faeries,"
"It is more deadly,"
"But it is also more resistant to emotion,"
"Yet the results if it loses control are more dangerous." Fayrii finished, and the boys closed their eyes again.
"Um, I have another question," Beast Boy said. Fayrii sighed, turned around, and faced BB.
"What is it?" Fayrii asked irritably.
"How does your magic work?"
"Magic is an arcane force that with practiced force, can be manipulated. It is divided into two groups: Light and Dark, or White and Black. Each side has four more sides: Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Light magic contains the good part of the four. Dark contains the destructive part," Fayrii explained, and turned again to meditate.
Robin came into the room, sweating, and asked, "Fayrii, Jack, could you come with me?"
Mistaking him for BB, Fayrii and Jack stood up and flew in the air over a cowering Beast Boy. They yelled at him simultaneously, "ARE YOU BLIND OR JUST CRAZY?"
"Uh, guys?" Robin started. Both brothers turned towards him. "I was the one that asked."
"Oh," Jack said, and turned back to BB. "Sorry, BB." Beast Boy nodded, and returned to his game. Robin, Fayrii, and Jack went into Robin's room. Once they were in there, Robin got down on his knees and clasped his hands, begging the bewildered princes.
"I really need you to do something for me," Robin begged, "Puh-lease! Please please please please please please please please please please please!"
"Robin, you haven't even told us what you need," Jack answered. Robin stopped and got up, trying to save his dignity.
"Yeah, Robin, what could make you do that?" Fayrii asked, one eyebrow arched.
"Well, okay. Tomorrow I'm going out to get some things for...something. I really need you to distract Starfire and keep her here," Robin explained.
"What things? For what?" Jack asked.
"Nothing," Robin answered, trying to lie.
"You know, we could read your mind and tell Starfire..." Fayrii started. Robin gave up.
"Okay! I'm going to propose to Starfire," Robin spoke. Instead of being teased as he thought would happen, there was a pat on the back (well, to Robin it was more of a two hundred ton weight smashing his spine).
"Alright Robin! About time!" Fayrii said, smiling.
"We shall help you prepare," Jack agreed. Relief spread across Robin's face.
"Thanks, I was about to lose it," Robin sighed.
"Hey, don't worry," the brothers answered together, and left to see if dinner was ready.
Robin stood in his room a moment longer, then went outside. He sensed Starfire coming closer. I must feel normal, he told himself. Yet when he saw her, he felt a smile on his face.
"Lover Robin, are you okay? I felt you were panicking. Did Cyborg and Beast Boy blow up the kitchen?" Starfire asked. Robin swallowed.
"No, everything's fine," he assured her. Starfire sensed he was lying about something, but before she could ask, an explosion could be heard coming from the kitchen.
"Now everything's not fine," he joked, earning a small giggle. Running towards the kitchen, the suspects were who they suspected. Cyborg and Beast Boy were arguing again. Fayrii and Jack stood in the corner wide- eyed, covered in dough with BB, Cyborg, and the rest of the kitchen.
"I'VE TOLD YOU A MILLION TIMES; NOBODY WANTS YOUR STINKING TOFU!" Cyborg shouted at the changeling.
"THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SLIP MEAT INSIDE MY TOFU DOGS!" Beast Boy shouted back. Robin stepped in between them to try to stop them. It didn't work. The two continued to yell at each other.
"Are you two fighting again?" Raven asked, gliding again. Beast Boy immediately stopped fighting and put on his best smile.
"Heh heh, of course not Raven, Me and Cyborg are just having an adult conversation," Beast boy commented, leaning on Cyborg.
"Exactly what I thought," Raven replied, smiling. She turned back around and left. Beast Boy wiped sweat off his forehead and sighed. Cyborg snickered, and was given a nice cuff by Jack, who was standing on Fayrii's shoulders.
Robin sighed, and picked up a mop. Starfire grabbed a broom, while Beast Boy and Cyborg started to precook dinner. Fayrii and Jack cleaned themselves off, and began to help Starfire and Robin.
After dinner, Beast Boy came to Fayrii and Jack, and asked, "Uh, could I see you guys?" Fayrii and Jack arched an eyebrow at each other, and followed BB to his and Raven's room. It was dark, with items of Raven and BB strung about it.
So, who are we gonna prank this time?" Jack asked excitedly. Fayrii shook his head at his little brother.
"And I thought you were supposed to be kind while an Initiate of the Light," Fayrii mumbled.
"Actually, guys, I'm not pranking anybody," Beast Boy responded, scratching the back of his head. Immediately, Jack put the back of his hand to BB's forehead.
"Are you feeling okay?" Jack asked, while Fayrii took his temperature.
"Dude, I'm fine, just, could you make the barrier quick?" Beast Boy asked. Fayrii eyes turned blue, and a blue psychic barrier was created around them, sealing off any attempts Raven might make to eavesdrop.
Outside her room, Raven folded her arms and pouted, before going into the basement.
"Thanks, guys. Could you do a favor for me? Could you keep Raven busy at the tower?" Beast Boy asked.
"Huh, keeping Raven at the tower is the easy part," Fayrii mumbled, then asked, "What for?"
"Um, so I can go get moped?" Beast Boy tried. Both Half-faeries crossed their arms.
"Okay, I'm gonna go get a ring to propose to Raven? Beast Boy asked, slightly closing his eyes, expecting a hit across the head.
"Alright, we'll do it for that," Jack mused, as though he and Fayrii had just remembered something funny. BB calmed down.
"Thanks," he said, and left to play video games some more. Fayrii and Jack teleported up onto the roof, still in a barrier.
"Strange, who would have suspected this?" Fayrii mused to Jack.
"Should we tell anyone to expect a double proposal?" Jack pondered.
"Nah, let's just watch and see what happens. Besides, it's supposed to be a secret," Fayrii answered, putting a finger to his lips. Jack laughed the immaturity of his older brother. Fayrii removed the barrier, and both went downstairs to spar in the gym.
