YOU. GUYS. ROCK. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.


Cyborg was alternating between bouts of laughing hysterically and hungrily woofing down a slice of Triple Meat Pizza. "Ok, ok..." he said attempting to get his wind back. "...tell me again how he said it."

Beast Boy laughed and hurriedly finished his slice of Tofu Bacon Surprise pizza, and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, tried to stop laughing for a second in order imitate Dr. Light.

"I...I think I just wet myself." he said in his best Dr. Light voice. Cyborg roared with laughter, slapping his metallic knee. "Oh man..." he said, wiping a tear from his eye. "I wish I could have seen that..." and went for his 5th slice of pizza that night.

It was Friday night at Titans Tower, which meant it was pizza night. The gang had ordered two pizzas from Bloaty's Pizza Barn...a "XXL Gut Buster" pizza for the boys, with one half Triple Meat for Cyborg and Robin and the other half Tofu Bacon Surprise for Beast Boy.

The girls had their own pizza too, a medium one. One half was just cheese for Raven, the other a cheese, mustard, jelly bean and mint frosting concoction for Starfire. The boys sat on one side of the OPs room, laughing and carrying on, fueled off caffeine and greasy pizza.

Starfire ate her food by herself, playing with Silkie while Raven sat in the corner, only taking a break from her latest book to stop and take a little nibble of her slice of cheese pizza. Every once in a while, when he wasn't looking, she'd sneak a glance at Beast Boy, then scold herself afterwards for being so "childish."

The night dragged on into the early morning, with Starfire having fallen asleep on the floor, curled up next to a snoring Silkie. Cyborg and Beast Boy were engaged in a heated battle on the GameStation 720, while Robin was trying his best to sway from nodding off.

Raven had long since retired, and was sleeping peacefully in her own bed, or at least so they thought. Eventually, Robin stood up, stretched his limbs and made his way to Starfire. Since the two had officially started dating, Starfire rarely slept in her own room, preferring the company of Robin's bed. Though, as the Tammaranian put it "The act of copulation will not occur until the ring of wedding is given. It is a strong tradition on Tammaran, one that I plan to uphold."

Robin gently shook the sleeping beauty to wake her up. As her pretty emerald eyes slowly opened and saw Robin, she quickly shot to her feet to hug her boyfriend. Robin wheezed a little bit before croaking "Star...hun...my ribs..." Starfire quickly let Robin go, as the Boy Wonder gulping for air.

"Apologies, infant." she said sweetly.

"It's 'baby', Starfire." Robin corrected, smirking slightly. Starfire made a mental note and happily took Robin by the hand as they made their way to their bedroom.

Cyborg glanced at the power meter on his arm display. "Hmm...looks like I'm done to 15 percent juice left. Guess I better call it a night." he stated and with that made his way to his room to plug in and re-charge for the night.

That left Beast Boy, who stayed up a couple of extra hours to play some more PIRATE HAMSTER SHOWDOWN on the GameStation 720. Eventually, after failing to beat Cyborg's high score, he made his way to bed. The green changeling yawned big and scratched his side as he stumbled to his bedroom.

He pressed the button to open his room and was nearly knocked back by the horrible stench that attacked him. His nostrils burned, his eyes watered, his lungs ceased to function, his vision went blurry.

Beast Boy let out a loud squeal and hurriedly shut the door. "Dudes!" he hollered "Help!" and within seconds, the Titans were at his side. "What is wrong, friend Beast Boy?" Starfire said eagerly, still clad in her PJs, which consisted of a XXXL pink CareBears tee-shirt that hung way down below her knees. "Star, it's terrible! It's horrible! It's..."

"Is it SLADE?" Robin asked.

"No..no..it's worse than that!" Beast Boy protested.

"Is it Mad Mod?" Cyborg offered.

"I'm telling you, it's the worst possible thing you can think of!" the green boy wailed, his arms waving frantically.

"So just spit it out already!" Cyborg demanded. "What's so terrible that you had to wake us up at 3 AM in the morning for?"

Beast Boy gulped as he prepared to share with his friends the drastic news.

"My bedroom...it stinks!" he admitted, only to be greeted by blank stares from the rest of the team.

"In other news, water is wet..." said Raven, a hint of irritation from being up so late in her voice.

It was dark in the hallway, but in the moonlight, Beast Boy could make out Raven's pajamas. A thin black cotton tank top, along with blue sweat pants that matched the color of her cloak perfectly, accented by her dainty bare feet. He found himself admiring the way her slender body seemed to fit inside in her clothes...it was a rare threat, he thought, to see her in something besides her usual leotard and cloak.

He was quickly snapped back to reality by Robin, much to his dismay. If given the chance, he could spend all day admiring her.

"Beast Boy...no offense, but your room has always kind of stunk. I don't see why it's such a big deal now." the Boy Wonder declared. Beast Boy frowned.

"Fine, you guys don't believe me...I guess I'll show you the hard way." and with a push of a button, his door spread open, ambushing the remaining 4 Titans with the horrors of the Stink'O Bomb 9000.

Robin gasped for air and fell weak to his knees, Starfire's eyes rolled back in her head as she passed out on the floor, Cyborg shut off his smell receptors and Raven encased her head in a black energy bubble, to shield out the gas.

Thinking only a few seconds was proof enough, Beast Boy hurriedly shut the door, letting the Titans breathe in precious oxygen.

"That...smells like the underbelly of a Snervian blork worm." Starfire said, slowly getting to her knees from passing out. Raven let down her protective shield and Cyborg turned his smell receptors back on, with Robin taking deep, controlled breaths to return the oxygen back into his lungs. "What in the world caused that?" Cyborg wanted to know. "Is that spoiled tofu or something?"

Beast Boy flashed a nervous grin. "Heh...actually, it's the Stink'O Bomb 9000. I was...uhhh...planning to use it against you for giving me the wedgie yesterday. I guess I kinda forgot about it heheh...looks like I'll be needing a place to sleep tonight, huh?"

"Well you ain't sleeping with me..that's for sure." said Cyborg. "I mean, no offense BB, but your snoring is a thing of legend."

"My friends, I have a solution!" Starfire proudly exclaimed. "You may rest in my old bedroom!" Beast Boy's sagging ears perked up at this idea. "Duh..." he thought "why didn't I think of that?" and followed Starfire to her old room. The rest of the Titans returned to their beds, except for Raven who watched Beast Boy disappear behind Starfire's bedroom door.

She sighed deeply, wishing she had enough courage to tell Beast Boy he could spend the night in her room. She quickly shook the thought off. "No...I can't do that. I can't afford to love. One slip up and my powers could hurt him or even kill him..." she watched again as Starfire wished Beast Boy "the most pleasant of the the dreams" and wearily floated back to her and Robin's bedroom.

Raven hid in the shadows, watching Starfire, feeling herself become slightly envious of Star's free spirit and ability to express love so openly and passionately.

"It has to be this way..." Raven tried to convince herself. "I...I have to be alone."

A single tear rolled down the Azarathian girl's face as she opened the door of her bedroom, disappearing in it's cold blackness to rest her weary head for the night.
