Raven stared at the other Titans in disbelief. "Are you crazy?"
"Come on, Raven!" Beast Boy pleaded.
"No," Raven said. "Don't you remember what happened last time?"
They all nodded, remembering all to well. In the seconds of silence, Dayna could be heard in the kitchen making breakfast and muttering to herself.
A door at the edge of the room opened and Rorek walked in, stretching. He spotted the Titans, gave them a strange look, then continued into the kitchen.
Raven opened her mouth to continue.
"No!" Dayna yelled. "Get out!"
The Titans turned to see Dayna pushing Rorek out of the kitchen.
"No one's allowed in here until breakfast's ready!" she yelled at him.
"Sorry," Rorek muttered. "I'll just fo to the living room." He turned and walked in, turning on the TV and flopping down on the couch. A few seconds later, his snoring could be heard with the noise of the TV.
Raven raised one eyebrow. "Does that boy do anything but sleep?" she asked no one in particular.
"Oh, Raven!" Beast Boy said suddenly. "I just remembered something!"
Raven turned her attention back to him. "What?"
"If we let Rorek join too, then will you let her in?"
Raven shook her head. "No."
Beast Boy stared at her, stunned.
"But friend Raven," Starfire said.
"No."
"Raven," Robin began. "Dayna and Rorek would make a great-"
"No." Raven stood up from where she was sitting. "No. Now stop bothering me." She walked back to her room.
The Titans sighed. This would be harder than they thought.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BREAKFAST!" Dayna yelled.
The Titans and Rorek, who was still yawning, sat at the bar and awaited their meals.
"All right then," Dayna said. "I've fixed food for everyone." She reached underneath the bar and pulled out a plate stacked with pancakes and a bottle of mustard on it. "This is for Starfire. I found a brand new bottle of mustard in your fridge so you can be sure not to run out."
"Oh, thank you Dayna!" Starfire said, delighted. She picked up the mustard and smothered her pancakes.
Dayna grinned and pulled out a plate with a steak, lots of bacon, eggs, and sausage. "This is for, of course, Cyborg, who needs his daily breakfast of a steak."
Cyborg picked up the steak and chomped on it. "All right!" he said, his mouth full. "Now this girl knows how to cook!"
Dayna pulled out two plates this time: one with a normal breakfast and one with a small helping of eggs and some herbal tea. "I command you both to eat," she said, shoving the plates to Robin and Raven.
"Uh...sure..." Robin said.
Raven looked at the eggs and then back at Dayna. "Eggs?"
Dayna nodded. "Sure. They're wonderful! Trust me. Michelle likes 'em and she doesn't even eat eggs!"
Raven nodded and picked up the tea. "Maybe later."
Dayna shrugged. "Whatever." She pulled out a plate stuffed with bacon, eggs, sausage, a bowl of grits, and a bowl of cereal and shoved it at Rorek, along with two bottles of cola. "Eat, boy. I remebered you told me that night we spent with Slade that ou eat a lot, so I fixed a lot."
Rorek smiled and dug in.
Dayna pulled out the last plate and shoved it at Beast Boy. "Great tofu goodness, dude!" she exclaimed. "My speciality! It's my job at Meat Junction! This particular one is Breakfast Veggie Meal #7. Trust me, dude, #7's are always the best."
Beast Boy grinned at her and began to eat.
"What about you?" Robin asked. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I ate while I was fixing breakfast," she said. "And now I think I'll go take a shower." She left the kitchen, humming a Green Day song under her breath.
All the Titans looked at Raven. "Well?" Cyborg said, meat juice dripping off his face.
Raven sighed and took a bite out of the eggs. "Fine," she muttered, putting the fork back on her plate. "But one slip up, one turn to Slade or anyone else, and she's out."
They nodded. "Sure!" Beast Boy said.
Rorek, of course, was to busy eating to notice this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Breakfast
The Titans gathered around Dayna and Rorek in the main room. "Well," Robin said. "We've done some thinking, and..." He trailed off and pulled two communacators from behind his back. "We'd like you two to join."
Rorek took his with interest and turned it over and over, looking at the detail.
Dayna gave a little squeal and stared at hers. "You actually mean it?" she said breathlessly.
Robin nodded.
"Yes!" Dayna yelled, punching the air. "I'm gonna be a Titan!"
Rorek finally stopped examining the communacator and looked at all six of the Titans. "I don't know..."
"Oh, come on, Rorek!" Dayna said. "You've got to!"
Rorek sighed. "All right. But I only want you guys calling me if it's an absolute emergency. You got that?"
They nodded.
"Good," Rorek said, standing up and shoving the communacator in his pocket. "I've got to go show my parents-or at least my dad-that I'm all right." And with that, he vanished in a light blue light.
Dayna stared at where he had been standing and then back at the communacator in her hand.
"We must celebrate!" Starfire said gleefully. "We shall travel to the mall of shopping!"
Dayna grinned. "Awesome idea, Star!"
"Uh...you two go," Robin said. "I need to train."
Dayna nodded and grabbed Starfire. Without waiting for any other excuses, she also vanished, but in a puff of flame.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After 40 Minutes of Shopping
Dayna and Starfire stood behind a goth boy at the check out. He was scanning the 'free' CD's at the front of the desk while a bag of already purchased CD's sat on the counter.
"Uh...S-sir," the nervous boy behind the counter said. "I have other people waiting, can you p-please make a selection?"
The goth boy looked up at the other boy and scowled. "Be patient, Jimmy," he snarled. He finished looking at the CD's and slammed his fist on the counter. "Dammit, Jimmy! Where's my CD!"
Jimmy cowered. "I'm s-sorry, sir! We sold out!"
"You were supposed to save me one!" the goth yelled. His black eyes darted to the left and he spotted a black hat above Jimmy on the wall. Four feathers stuck out of the brim, two black and two red. He turned Jimmy's head so he could see it. "See that?" Jimmy nodded. "Get me that instead."
As Jimmy went to get the hat, Dayna got the goth's attention.
"You know, that wasn't very nice!" she told him.
He turned and scowled at her. "So?"
"So you should apologize!"
He snorted. "Yeah, right. Sure I will." He turned back to Jimmy. "Jimmy! Hurry the hell up!"
Dayna scowled and handed her clothes to Starfire. "Do you have some kind of problem, or somethin'?" she yelled at him.
The goth whirled back around. "Yes I do, and do you know what it is? It's the annoying little bitch in front of me!"
Dayna's eyes turned orange with fury and flames burst out of her hand and stormed behind her. "What!"
"You heard me!" He turned back around to Jimmy and told him to get him a new pair of shades also.
"Friend Dayna," Starfire said nervously. "We do not wish to cause trouble."
Dayna ignored her and aimed a punch at the goth. It hit him square in the back and he flipped over the counter.
When he was on his feet again, the goth propeled himself at Dayna. He grabbed the collar of her shirt and shoved her up against the wall. "Now, you listen here, missy," he snarled. "I don't want anymore shit from you. Got that?"
Dayna smirked and said nothing.
"Answer me!"
"Xanka!"
The goth boy gave a little jump, dropped Dayna, and whirled around to face an angry looking man. "Yes?" he said weakly, his voice now full of fear instead of anger.
"What have you been doing!" the man roared, reaching forward and grabbing the boy Xanka.
"Nothing, I swear!" Xanka squeaked. "I was buying some things from Jimmy, when this young girl provoked me, honest!"
The man looked at him, not believing a word Xanka was saying. "Get your thing you've bought and get in the car, now!"
Xanka nodded and walked back to the corner to pay for his hat and shades.
"Now get in the car!" the man yelled.
Xanka nodded again and flipped the hat on his head and put the shades on. The dark blue lenses his eyes. "This is over, missy," he whispered to Dayna as they passed.
Dayna watched him in wonder as Jimmy rang up her and Starfire's stuff.
"Sorry about sir Xanka," Jimmy muttered, handing Starfire the bags. "He must be having a bad day to be yelling so loudly. But don't worry, his uncle Frank'll keep him shape. He's that man that was here before, and he's the only thing Xanka's afraid of."
Starfire accepted the bags and waved goodbye to Jimmy. "We are sorry we caused such disruptions," she said, dragging Dayna out. "I hope sir Xanka has a better day tomorrow!"
WeaselChick: Xanka's uncle Frank is very mean...luckily, we will not be visting them at home. thankfully. nest chapter: Chapter 7: Recruiting Red X/Kidnapped...Again: Thorn and Terra recruit Red X, aka Xanka, and X in turn kidnaps Dayna.
And after that: Chapter 8? oh like i know that far ahead right now.
