Raventhedarkgoddess: I never realized how many people this series would/has attracted when I started writing it- Thanks to those of you who have been with me from Design onward, means a lot to me even if you are doing it just to be nice. Anyway, I'm tired, so who knows what this chapter turns out like- I think it's crap, but I'm typing it anyway, because at the moment I don't have anything better anyway. Enjoy if at all possible. Oh, and because this was written while I was on vacation, I'm not putting anyone in it until next chapter, when I can get back to my reviews and get it sorted out- Sorry.
Chapter Two: Disaster Meets Style
Star's Room...
Gizmo: (cursing to himself, painting the walls purple)
Cyborg: Will you just shut your mouth already?
Gizmo: Why should I listen to you, anyway?
Cyborg: Just shut up and get back to work.
Gizmo: No! And while you're at it, tell your lazy girlfriend to get up and DO something.
Raven: (working on something in the corner, ignoring the boy's fighting)
Cyborg: Leave her out of this, she's working just as hard as I am, no thanks to you.
Raven: (stands, picking up Gizmo's paintbrush with her mind and hitting him in the head) Somehow, I don't think I'm lazy.
Gizmo: If you're Miss Powerful (rubbing his head where he was hit with the paintbrush) Why don't YOU just do it?
Raven: One, I've been sewing curtains. (Holds up a pair of purple drapes) Two, you'd whine even more if I didn't make sure you had something to do.
(Robin enters, cutting off whatever smart remarks Gizmo might spew)
Gizmo: ...Just wait until I rule the world.
Robin: (sweatdrop)
Raven: Okay... Do you need something, Robin?
Robin: They need your plans for furniture at the workshop.
Raven: Alright. You two, don't kill each other while I'm gone. Finish painting the walls and then DON'T wreck anything.
(Raven and Robin exit the room)
Gizmo: Haha, your girlfriend seems mad at you.
Cyborg: (pointedly ignores Gizmo)
Gizmo: What's she see in something like you, anyway?
Cyborg: (continues to ignore Gizmo)
Gizmo: I mean, sure, she's not beautiful either, but anyone could do better... Or maybe it's just that she's desperate?
(a loud bang is heard as the sonic cannon hits Gizmo, sending him into the wall)
Cyborg: Keep that little cheeky mouth of yours in line.
Gizmo: Hey, you're digging your own grave with that hole. She's going to kick your ass when she finds out why it's there.
Cyborg: She'll just kill you instead.
Gizmo: Shut it.
(long, tense silence between the two)
Gizmo: Can't ya fix it!
Cyborg: With what?
Gizmo: (eyes fall upon duct tape)
Cyborg: Man, that'll NEVER work. Rae can tell wood from tape, or at least I hope so.
Gizmo: It's only temporary. You can get the carpenters to fix it later.
Cyborg: We are NOT putting tape on Star's wall!
Gizmo: You got any other bright ideas?
(more silence)
(Gizmo tapes the wall)
Cyborg: I still say she's gonna notice.
Raven: Good, you've gotten the walls painted... What's this?
(Gizmo and Cyborg exchange nervous looks)
Gizmo's Room...
(Walls are now orange with a large pink and white racing stripe, carpet has painted polka-dots on it of the same colors)
Jynx: It's so beautiful in here!
Starfire: It is much brighter than even my own room...
Blackfire: And it's all over my perfect nails! Ew!
Starfire: Well, sister, from what I have heard, it could have been in your hair as well...
Blackfire: Why don't you just shut your mouth, LITTLE sister?
Jynx: Robin has decided we're going to get more help!
Blackfire: NO! Not those people again!
Starfire: I found them to be, um, nice people...
Jynx: Finally, people that can do all the work for me!
Blackfire: Like they actually know how to work...
Starfire: At least they do not complain of their work.
Blackfire: Shut up!
Jynx: Don't you think you're kinda overreacting?
Blackfire: NO! You don't understand! They all hate me! They're out to get me! They're...
Jynx: You two should just calm down, I'm going to go see the carpenters about what needs to be made... (runs out of the room)
Blackfire: They're so horrible, they mess up my hair, they hate me...
Starfire: Sister, Jynx was correct. You must do the 'calming down'...
Blackfire: (grabs Starfire and hides behind her)
Starfire: (sighs) Sister...
Carpentry World...
Beast Boy: Dude, these are awesome! I get to use these!
Slade: Perhaps I should rethink having help...
Mammoth: Would you rather that you had the former help I've heard so much about?
Slade: (eye twitch)
Mammoth: Sorry, too many bad memories...
Dr. Light: Not as bad as mine of Raven... So, so dark... (shudder)
Slade: They're worse.
Dr. Light: (screams like a girl)
Beast Boy: You've never seen Raven mad, then...
Enter BB's Flashback (NOTE: This is the events that transpired at the end of Trading Spaces that weren't in the story- Pointless, short, and stupid.)
Raven: (chasing Beast Boy) I'm going to kill you, dammit!
Beast Boy: (keeps running, wondering how many times they've run through the living room)
Cyborg: (watching them while eating popcorn, amused)
Robin: Five more bucks says she'll catch him.
Cyborg: Man, I can't bet that much, it's so obvious.
Starfire: I am wishing our friends would not fight...
Terra: I dont' want him dead, but...
Robin: You two would make a really annoying pair of ghosts.
Terra: Be that way!
(The pair pass the Titans on the couch)
Terra: Could you make it sort of painless for him? Please?
Raven: (glares at Terra)
Terra: (shuts up)
Beast Boy: (has finally been backed up into a wall) Couldn't we talk this over?
Raven: NO!
Beast Boy: (whimpers)
Raven: Now, where the hell is my stuff?
Beast Boy: (sweatdrop) Hehe, you didn't really need those musty old books, did you?
Raven: (growl)
Terra: Mistake, BB... I can't watch...
(loud crashing is heard as Beast Boy flys through a nearby wall, earning scratches on his arms, legs, and back. As he climbs out of the wall, a paintbrush falls and hits him in the head)
Beast Boy: A PAINTBRUSH!
Raven: Get in there and fix it. I want things back where they were, and you are to find my books at any and all costs. If I don't like it, you're dead.
Beast Boy: A chance to live! Raven, you are too kind! (throws himself at Raven's feet, groveling, kisses shoes)
Raven: (kicks him in the head) Don't do that... Too creepy...
Beast Boy: Um, right! (runs away)
Terra: So I guess this means we can't be a ghost couple?
Raven: (shakes head in disgust)
Present...
Beast Boy: ...And that paintbrush HURT!
All: What?
Beast Boy: Never mind.
(Robin enters the room)
Robin: Slade, your help will be here soon!
Slade: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I mean... I really don't need any help.
Dr. Light: Nah, you're just afraid of them.
Slade: Shut up! It's just... I'm not... NO! They can't come here!
Robin: (hears doorbell) That must be the help! (dashes up the stairs to meet our wonderful reviewers)
Beast Boy: As long as they aren't the same people that worked with me...
(footsteps are heard coming down the stairs)
Slade: AHHHHHH! (jumps in the closet)
(Jynx and Raven appear with their plans)
Mammoth: Slade, you can come out now...
Slade: (pokes his head out) You'll never take me alive! Oh, hello ladies, what can I do for you?
Both: (look very puzzled)
Raventhedarkgoddess: Wow that's bad... I blame it on the salt water, sugar, lack of contact with my friends, and my sudden tiredness... This is the last chance to be in if you'd like to be in it. I'm doing what I can to balence it, but you may not end up in your requested rooms. Sorry about this, but it's kind of imbalenced as of my writing of this. Reviews welcome- Although I don't understand the reviews.
