AN: I do not own the Teen Titans, for if I did I would never let it go off the air for no apparent reason!
Chapter 3
It took a while before they figured out how to use the boytalk with the phone. Robin insisted that he should be the one to talk, but the others reminded him that he had a lisp now. So Cyborg decided to do it. He rehearsed it a couple times and then recorded a one sided conversation. They just hoped it would work.
(A/N: At this point Cyborg had grabbed one of Robins suits and slipped it on, even though it was too big.)
"Hello, you've reached Little Buttons, can I help you?" asked the woman at the desk.
"Hello, I would like to place a rush delivery to the Titans Tower," said Cyborg's low recorded voice.
"Yes sir, what would you like to purchase?" asked the woman at the desk.
"I would like to buy the following outfits. B-13, B-48, B-65, G-34, and a G-73."
"Okay, anything else?"
"And a set of boys age six undergarments a set of girls age six undergarments."
"And how will you be paying?"
"Please put the cost on the Teen Titans account."
"Sounds good, sir. It should get there in about an hour."
"Thank you very much, good bye." The woman hung up and so did Cyborg.
"It worked?" asked Raven.
"It worked!" said Cyborg.
The other Titans began dancing around in victory while Raven just stood there and sighed. She couldn't believe Beast Boy's idea actually worked. She wrapped her large cape around herself and shuffled over to the couch.
"Man, I can't wait to put some clothes on," said Cyborg. "I haven't worn clothes in years."
"The dress I have picked out is most beautiful!" said Starfire flying about.
"Hopefully whoever dropth off our order will jutht leave it on the doorthtep," said Robin.
So for two hours the "Teen" Titans did their best to keep themselves busy. It was hard, since they kept tripping over their clothes. Oddly enough, Beast Boy and Cyborg did the same thing they always did. They played video games. Robin cheered on, but he was different this time. He really got into it and cheered both of them on. Starfire grabbed the Teen Titan puppets that the Puppet King had made and began playing with them happily. Raven seemed to be the only one who tried to act normal. She sat to the side and read one of her books.
There suddenly came a loud pinging sound. All the Titans stopped what they were doing and looked around.
"It is the doorbell!" said Starfire.
"Our clothes must be here," said Beast Boy. All the Titans, except Raven, rushed over to one of the windows and looked below. They waited and then saw a boat leave the rocky shore. They hoped the guy had left the clothes.
"I'll go get it," said Raven. A black circle former under her and she melted through the floor.
"Do you think they have left our clothes?" asked Starfire.
"I hope so, because I really don't want to do that whole talkboy thing again," said Cyborg.
Raven came up through the floor with a large package in her arms. She placed it on the floor and undid the tape with her mind. She flipped the flaps open and there lay several articles of clothes still in their plastic wrapping. She passed them out and they all parted to go change.
Robin reentered the common room in his new set of clothes. He was in a pair of jeans and with a red shirt that had a black stripe going across it. "Sheesh, I haven't drethed like thith thinthe I wath five," he said to himself.
Cyborg came in and had a large smile on his face. He was in a pair of jeans and a blue football jersey. "Man, does it feel good to feel clothes!" he laughed. "I feel like an athlete again."
"You look like one, too," said Robin.
And then Starfire came in. She was in a purple, frilly dress that poofed out like a tutu. She couldn't stop spinning around. "Oh, I do love your dresses here on Earth!" she squealed. "Do I not look wonderful?"
"Blah! It's so girly," said and Cyborg.
"And fluffy," said Robin.
Beast Boy entered and Starfire couldn't help gushing over him. He was in a pair of farmer jeans with a dark pink shirt underneath. "My sleeves are still too big," said Beast Boy showing off his long sleeves.
"Oh, Beast Boy, you look so cute!" said Starfire. "Your shirt matches your cheeks."
Beast Boy had forgotten that he had had rosy cheeks when he was young and he blushed, making his cheeks redder. "Yeah, well, you're puffy," he said, hoping that it sounded like a good come back.
Raven finally entered and the others had a look at what she was wearing. They weren't surprised to see her in a black leotard, but they were a little surprised by the glittering, small skirt attached to it. "Not a word from any of you," said Raven through her teeth.
Now that they were all dressed and had calmed down they could take a look at the clock. They went into Cyborg's room where he took another look at it.
"Jutht be careful," said Robin. "We don't want to turn into babieth."
"I'm bein careful," said Cyborg looking through the clock once more. "Besides, I'm just lookin for one thing."
"And what is that?" asked Starfire.
"This," said Cyborg holding up the thick blue wire that had been cut in two. "I think all we have to do is replace this wire and the clock should work again."
"But will it turn us back to normal?" asked Raven.
"Probably not immediately, but I'm sure we can figure it out," said Cyborg looking through his draws. He went through every single one and then said, "Crap."
"What?" asked Beast Boy.
"I don't have any of those wires," said Cyborg. "We're gonna hafta order one."
"And how long will that take?" asked Robin.
"Let me see," said Cyborg hopping onto his computer. He searched for the closest store that carried that particular wire, but there weren't any in the city. All the Titans groaned. "The only place that carries it will take a week to ship it here."
"Great," said Raven sarcastically.
"Well, order it," said Robin. "We'll jutht have to lay low thith week."
"But what shall we do about all of the villains that attack the city?" asked Starfire.
"We could always call the Titans East to help us out," said Cyborg.
"No, they've got enough to do already," said Robin.
"Then what are we gonna do?" asked Beast Boy.
They all thought as hard as they could. But, strangely, their minds kept wandering to other things. They wanted to go play and have fun, but they quickly tried to snap their minds back to their situation.
"Hey! I've got an idea," said Beast Boy. "What if we just send all of them out of the city?"
"And how are we going to do that?" asked Raven.
"I dunno," said Beast Boy. "I'm just trying to help."
"Actually, that'th not a bad idea," said Robin. "We could thpread the word out that there'th a major weapon of math dethtruction up for grabth in the middle of the Gobi Dethert or thomething. That would get rid of them for a while."
"But is that not lying?" asked Starfire.
"It ith, but we're doing it to protect the liveth of thouthandth of people," said Robin.
"And, that makes it okay?" asked Starfire.
"I gueth not, but we're doing it for a good cauthe," said Robin. "Doeth that make thenthe?"
"I guess so, but I can barely understand you, Robin," said Starfire. Robin tried his best not to get mad. It had taken him two years to finally get rid of his lisp and now it was back and stronger than ever.
And so Cyborg sent an e-mail (disguised so that the villains wouldn't know who sent it) out to a few select villains whom they knew would spread the word about the "prize" in the desert. The Titans hoped that it would work. Sure enough, within the hour, little red bleeps on the map, representing each villain, was moving out of the city.
