Okie dokie then...first off, PIZZA ROLLS AND COOKIES FOR EVERYONE! YEAH! And, for those who love it as much as i do...MOUNTAIN DEW! and for those who don't... what is your DEAL? but anyway... thanks for reviewing! extra thanks to DarkDizzyMerryGoRound for reviewing my other fics! both of them! i felt much better!
I'm not telling who the sister is, but i think it will be in the next post or two that you find out who it is! wait till you see ! hehehe!
I feel the need to explain the whole where i got speedy being gay thing...i knew this dude who was like the BIGGEST womanizer in the i dunno, area, not the world, or country or even state, but area...maybe bigger than that, but that's beside the point. He was all like how Speedy is in the cartoon and comics and then one day, while he was away visiting his family, a friend of ours comes up to me and this other friend of mine and was all like "So is it true that (name omitted 'cuz he'd kill me) is gay?" and my friend and i were all like "NO! HE CAN"T BE GAY!" but we wondered all the same, because the dude she heard he might be gay from IS gay and said he saw his profile on a gay guy dating website. so we actually signed up as pixiedust and bigdude and looked for like 2hoursfor him, but couldn't find him i still get mail from that site, its kinda creepy and when he came back, my friend who was working at the desk to the hall we lived in was all like "you know you can tell us anything, right? we'd still be down." and he was all like "WTF, mate?" but she refused to be the one to ask him so i got that job and i said, "we heard a rumor that you might be gay" and he was all like "oh, yeah." and then i was like "WHOA!" cuz i never saw it coming. But yeah...sorry for making you read all that, but that's where i got the idea from cuz Speedy kinda reminds me of him, sorta.
but as to the "stuff" i'm trying to work on it...there won't be much in this, but i'm working on it in my other fics and am thinking on writing a sequel if this goes over well...sorry, but i need to improve my skills, i'm more of a reader than a writer.
but...i don't own Teen Titans, or Terra would either be nicer or suffer a horrific fate that i will leave to your imaginations (yes, i'm still mad at her for breaking beast boy's heart, even if they are only comic book and cartoon characters) now..on with the fic...
Titans East left the next day which left our Titans to make up for lost time on training. They were all glad that there had been no trouble during the visit, with the slight exception of Beast Boy, though he made no mention of this, but were now ready to get back to work as usual. As would be expected, Raven spent the first few hours in her room, meditating. Cyborg and Beast Boy spent the free time catching up on their precious videogame time. Robin and Starfire, after a quick scan of the city, disappeared. This is when the first true test of Beast Boy's promise to Speedy showed itself.
"Did you hear? Bumblebee thinks that Speedy might by- you know- not into girls." Cyborg said.
Beast Boy, drawing on experience from his temporary acting career, acted like he had no idea and that this was a total shock. "WHAT!" he cried, "DUDE! I hung out with him-like ALONE! What if he-? Is he really-? Does she have any proof-?" He threw in this last question to see how vain it was for Speedy to keep up his charade.
"I don't know 'bout 'solid evidence' but she thinks she heard him on the phone with a dude named JR, talking--that way." Cyborg said.
"Eww." Beast Boy acted like that was all he could muster.
"Yeah." Cyborg said gravely, "What say we stick Robin with cleaning his room?" he then added with an evil grin.
"Dude, that is so nasty and mean." Beast Boy said, "And I LOVE IT!"
They then returned to their videogame which had temporarily been forgotten.
"MOM! I'm better now, honest!" Leia argued with her mother, "And there's not a drop of rain out there!" As though to mock her, the rain started to pour. She thought a few choice words to herself, not trusting herself to same them under her breath in front of her mother, soap tasted awful.
"See! It is too raining! Now stop fussing and rest so you can get better quicker." her mother sternly told her.
"But I only have a cold!" Leia protested, "Gimme a couple Dayquil and I'll be fine!"
"No. Now you're not going out, and your going to lie down!"
"But-"
"No but's young lady! Now go lie down!" her mother yelled.
Thinking of the severity of her mother's wrath, Leia did as she was told to do.
She flipped through her book, not really felling like reading, considered going online till she remembered her computer was in the family room and her mother had confined her to her room, then , as an absolute last attempt to find something to do, turned on the TV.
She channel surfed for a while, then settled on watching a marathon of an animal show called "Zoboomafoo" or some such thing. The little lemur puppet was kinda cute, in a puppet sorta way.
After Raven felt she had meditated long enough and Robin and Starfire reappeared, the team headed to the gym. There they worked out a bit then headed to the danger room. It wasn't a bad work out for Beast Boy, though he was a little sore after all was said and done. They didn't run the obstacle course as it was storming again,
though Robin had argued with them for half an hour that they should run it rain or shine until Starfire whispered something in his ear that made him relent.
The team ambled back into the main room and ate a late lunch. Robin then declared two hour break before they started to re-clean the Tower, and he and Starfire disappeared again. Cyborg went to work on his "Baby" and Raven grabbed a book. Beast Boy looked forlornly about. He couldn't leave the Tower as it was raining, and by the time he got anywhere good, he would only have a half hour or so before he'd have to come back; no, he'd have to stay here. Everybody was busy with other things so bonding time wasn't an option. He did the only thing he could do, he plopped on the couch, heaved a great sigh and started channel surfing. He happened upon the PBS station and saw a marathon for a show called "Zoboomafoo" and decided to watch it to see how accurate it was. He often did this when he was bored. It made him realize just how truly bored he was.
Two hours later, the team had gathered in the main room. Beast Boy, humming "I Feel Ant-eater-ish" under his breath, listened as Robin divided the rooms up. "Any volunteers for any of the rooms?" Robin had asked.
"I shall clean the room of friend Bumblebee." Starfire offered.
"I'll take Aqualad's." Raven said.
"And BB and I will take Mas's and Menos' room." Cyborg said. BB didn't object to Cyborg's offering for him too as it got him out of cleaning Speedy's room.
"You sure?" Robin asked.
"Yeah." said Beast Boy, "No prob."
"I mean it's just two little guys, right?" Cyborg said.
"Alright then. Let's go." Robin said in a slightly apprehensive voice.
Cyborg and Beast Boy headed to the room that Mas and Menos had occupied. They, thinking they had gotten off easy with two people cleaning one room, stopped
dead in their tracks when they opened the door.
"Dude!" Beast Boy exclaimed.
"What happened in here?" Cyborg questioned the area in general.
What they saw was not a room that two teenage guy had occupied for two nights, but a disaster zone. Beast Boy looked around the room half expecting to see the Red Cross setting up booths. The sheets for the beds were on the other side of the room, the pillows had been emptied, feathers lying all about the room, the mattresses weren't even on the bed frames. Drawers were in all different directions. The pictures of the team, that Robin had hung around the room as a result of his superiority complex that stemmed from his much-bigger-than-the-average-person's competitive streak, were all askew, as though they had been blown down then hastily put back up. Several of the glass panels in the frames were either cracked or broken. Even pieces of the paneling of the wall had come lose.
"Well," Cyborg said, defeat in every syllable, "we might as well get started." And so they spent the next several hours in their room.
When they finally finished, they slinked their way to the main room, to tired to even trudge.
"It took you two long enough." Raven said peeking over her book.
"We had to replace WALLS!" Beast Boy shouted indignantly.
"And the pillows, and the mattresses, and the sheets and the pictures!" Cyborg added his share, "We gotta buy 10 all new frames!"
"Who know such little guys could make so much damage! I mean honestly!" Beast Boy threw in again.
"I tried to warn you." Robin said.
"NO YOU DIDN'T!" both Beast Boy and Cyborg shouted.
"I TRIED! But you guys wouldn't let me! I believe the words went, 'Yeah. No Prob. I mean it's just two little guys, right?' Or at least something along those lines." Robin defended.
"But what did they do in there?" Beast Boy asked, "Fight off the bed bugs?"
"By the looks of things in there, they had a right out battle!" Cyborg said.
"They probably did." Robin explained.
"What, were the beds trying to eat them?" Beast Boy asked.
Robin went on to explain himself. Apparently Mas and Menos have what is called "Sleepwalking Disorder". This disorder causes people to act out what is in their dreams as though they were awake, but they were sleeping. Thus, if Mas and Menos had a dream or nightmare where they were fighting a bad guy, they would act it out, actually believing that they were indeed fighting a bad guy; and the "twin thing" usually caused them to have the same dream. While they are taking therapy and medication for it, it is a working process. Robin thought he had warned the team of this before Titans East had arrived, but it must of slipped his mind.
"Some slip." Cyborg muttered.
Leia was going crazy! She had been confined to her room for the past three days and her mother was seriously thinking on keeping her in solitary confinement through the weekend! It wasn't that she had any big plans for the weekend, but Leia at least wanted the freedom that is associated with the weekend. She could have kissed the ground her father walked on when he told her mother that he thought that Leia was well enough to be out and about seeing as her cough had turned into a scratchy throat that just needed to be cleared once in a while. She immediately went to put on her shoes to go for a walk to get out of the house when her mother reminded her that it was 10o'clock at night and, while she may not be on bed-terms, as her mother called the solitary confinement she placed on her family when they were sick, she still wasn't leaving the house this late at night.
This slightly irked Leia, but she wasn't about to argue for fear of being grounded so soon after gaining freedom. She contented herself in doing her workout routine that had also been denied her when she was "on death's bed". It re-energized her and she felt so much better. 'Honestly!' she thought, 'Being sick makes you sick!'. She couldn't help but notice that she was humming the "I feel komodo dragon-ish." song as she was running on the treadmill. That stupid lemur and his catchy songs.
The team had spent the next two days getting back up to speed on the training front. Robin was ever-so-suspicious of the lack of criminal activity over that week and was prone to voicing opinions of a conspiracy amongst all the villains in the city (the rest of the Titans ignored this, however, Robin often got like this when things were slow).
Saturday had come! Wonderful, beautiful, lovely, peachy. perfect Saturday! There was no training on Saturdays! The team usually went to the park on Saturdays, unless it was raining or threatening to, then they went to the mall. They ordered real food (yeah, pizza was good and Cy was a great cook, but ordering real food from a
sit down restaurant was a nice change). Then they came back and watched a movie. Yep, Saturdays were great.
This particular Saturday was spent at the mall as there was a 100 chance of rain. The team had gotten lunch at the food court and then went their separate ways. Cyborg went to the electronics store, Raven to the book store, Starfire went to some accessory or clothing store and Robin went to a sporting goods store. Where did Beast Boy go you ask? Was there really a need for that question? No, no there wasn't because you know as well as I do where he went-the arcade.
Once there, he changed a five for tokens and picked out a fighting game. Once this game lost his interest, he wandered about, looking for another game to call his name. What got his attention, however, was a familiar looking girl in an equally familiar looking hat. "Leia?" he asked.
The girl turned to him to indeed be revealed as Leia. "Hello, Beast Boy!" she said, "How's your week been?"
"Slow." he simply commented on his week. He then asked, "Can I join you?"
"Sure. It's just a shooting game though."
"I like this game." he said, though he couldn't recall ever playing it. "How was your week."
"Ugh! Don't get me started." she said as she placed quarters in her slot.
"That bad?" he asked placing quarters in his.
"Worse! I've been SO BORED!"
"Sounds kinda like mine." he chuckled.
"A super-hero being bored? What? All the villains not enough for ya?" she giggled.
"I think they took a break or all got colds from the rain."
"ACK! Don't sat that word!"
"What? Rain?"
"No! The "C" word! It is acid to my ear drums!" she explained, taking on the air of a very poor actor who thought that he was the next great thing to hit his particular type of media.
"Cold?"
"Ahh! No more! Please, no more!"
He chuckled, "OK. No more "C" word." The game started easily enough and they were up to the third level before either had to put more quarters in, Beast Boy being the first to do so.
"You're good." he said.
"Thanks." she said, "You're not bad yourself."
They continued playing and were almost at the end when an electric zap went past their heads and landed on the screen of the game.
They quickly turned around and the author will leave out the phrase that flowed from Beast Boy's mouth. There, standing on the other side of the arcade, was Overload.
