Raventhedarkgoddess: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! I'm sorry I haven't' been around very much, but I wrote this over the holidays and thought I'd better get it posted… Sadly, the series is winding down and the next chapter shall be my last. If you have requests for teams, pairings, plotlines, or other spoofs like this you'd want me to do, I'd love to hear them! Trading Spaces is something I want to continue.
On with the fic already… Suggestions wanted!
Chapter Nine: Touching Up
At least Mariasha got the room fixed….
(Mariasha and Raven are surveying a now much, much better-looking room. The walls are a deeper purple, the carpet has been repainted, and new curtains/bedspreads have been made. Gizmo is standing in a corner by himself, painting over a new piece of wood put where he was thrown through the wall)
Mariasha: I'm sorry I let him do that to your beautiful room…
Raven: Don't worry about it. Looks better now, after all.
Gizmo: It's UGLY! UGLY, do you hear me!
Cyborg: I don't believe anyone asked you… (steps forward)
Raven: We really don't need any holes in the wall.
Cyborg: (blush) Fine… (backs away)
LadyHood: Starfire will really like it!
Gizmo: Who cares what that cake-sniffing Titan likes anyway?
Cyborg: Can't I please just strangle him!
Raven: No. Robin's going to be here soon and we don't want to hear anything from him except how over-budget we are.
D. Montgomery: Raven, this is so cool! It's so pretty! (Bouncing on the bed)
Jamie: I wouldn't do…
(Cracking noise)
Jamie: That.
Raven: (hood flies up) I can't believe this. Robin is going to be up here and the bed is…
Robin: What about me? (Has entered the room, accidentally tripping over Gizmo in the process and knocking his head into the board he had just finished painting. Gizmo's face turns a bright shade of purple)
LadyHood: You? Who said anything about you? We didn't say anything about you! I mean, why would we talk about you! (twitch)
Robin: Um… The room looks great. (goes over to sit on the bed)
D. Montgomery: I wouldn't sit…
Robin: (sits down, falls on the floor)
Raven: (sits on the non-broken part) Can we please just get this over with?
Robin: Why am I on the floor!
Raven: Aren't you going to tell me about my budget or something?
Robin: But WHY AM I ON THE FLOOR!
D. Montgomery: (hides behind LadyHood and Mariasha) SAVE ME!
Gizmo: Haha, I still screwed everything up!
Mariasha: (grabs Gizmo by his shirt again) I'm going to kill you, you annoying little…
Robin: Um, you aren't over budget… So tell me, did the team get along? (sweatdrop)
Raven: (looks at Mariasha shaking Gizmo, Cyborg pointing and laughing, LadyHood and D. Montgomery, and Jamie, who is standing in a corner smirking) Yeah… Just great.
Robin: Um, I'mgonnagoseetheotherteambye! (runs out the door)
Raven: All right, Mariasha, you don't have to shake his teeth out or anything…
D. Montgomery: I wanna help fix the bed!
LadyHood: That's okay, I've got it…
D. Montgomery: Why don't I get to do anything! I can do something 'sides breaking stuff!
(Collective sweatdrop)
Jynx is the only happy one here….
Morph: And you're leaving it like this? Please tell me this is some sort of sick joke…
Vandagirl: It's bright…
Blackfire: ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN MY BEAUTIFUL EYES! ARE YOU JEALOUS OF THEM OR SOMETHING!
Starfire: Sister, no one could be jealous of you for any reason…
Blackfire: Be quiet, little sister…
Jynx: It's BEAUTIFUL! (heart eyes)
(I'll let you decide if it's 'beautiful… We have our lovely red rug on the floor, the NEON walls, the NEON green bed, two lovely NEON dressers, the wall and bed coverings dotted with various shades of NEON, and assorted small items. Anything Gizmo originally had in the room is completely gone)
Morph: You call yourself a designer…? Doesn't that typically require DESIGN sense?
Jynx: What are you talking about? Iris, you like it, don't you!
Vandagirl: Of course Ma'am doesn't like it!
Iris: (is once again being strangled by Jynx) No… And STOP CALLING ME MA'AM!
Vandagirl: Yes ma'… I mean, Iris.
Iris: (sweatdrop)
Starfire: Look, it is Robin! (flies over to hug him)
Blackfire: (Flame eyes)
Robin: Hi Star… I think I'm in the wrong room.
Jynx: He's seen the changes you all just can't appreciate, right Robin?
Robin: Um… So, you're exactly on budget for this… room…
Morph: Oh, call it ugly already!
Vandagirl: Let's all group-hug Robin!
Morph: (squeals like a fangirl) OH BOY!
Vandagirl: Just… don't' do that again…
(Everyone glomps Robin)
Robin: Dying…
Blackfire: Hey, don't hurt MY Robin!
Starfire: Your Robin?
Iris: Oh, fight, fight!
Robin: (seizes chance to RUN away from them all) They're rabid, I tell you!
Downtime is a bad thing in Slade-land…
(Slade and Dr. Light are hiding behind a workbench. Everyone else is having a normal party… If every party involves the random use of power tools, that is)
Slade: Look at them… (twitches) They're rabid, I tell you!
Dr. Light: Keep your voice down… We're their main targets!
WeazelChick: Hehe… Need anything, Beast Boy?
Beast Boy: No… AH! (moves out of the way of swinging hacksaw)
Artemisgirl: This isn't fair… I want to get rid of Slade and Dr. Light!
Mammoth: I'm sure we'll find them!
Beast Boy: Haha… Wait, weren't we on their side before?
Mammoth: Yeah, so?
Beast Boy: I don't know… HAVE TO PEE AGAIN! (runs away)
(Jessica, Jackie, and Haz are having a contest- Who can make the most woodchips)
Jessica: I SO OWNED YOU!
Haz: You two are going to hurt something…
Jackie: Uh-uh!
Haz: Come on, guys, knock it off before you hurt some… (gets hit with a flying piece of wood)
Jackie: Did she say something?
Jessica: Nope!
(both shrug)
Slade: Crazy… Completely crazy.
Azareth-girl: I FOUND THEM!
Slade: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! (Runs with Dr. Light)
Azareth-girl: So who wants cookies?
Mammoth: What was that scream?
Beast Boy: COOKIES!
All: (sweatdrop)
Raventhedarkgoddess: Well, I hope you all have a very Happy New Year... My thanks to all who gave me their characters for these stories. Best of luck in 2006- See you all then!
