WeaselChick: This isn't one of my better chapters, but it's supposed to just explain what's happening to Dayna and the Titans. The thankz'll be at the bottom.
Disclaimer: Man, it's been a while since I've done one of these...All right, I don't own Teen Titans, theCingular song, or the Coke song.
Early Next Morning
Dayna groaned and lifted her head. She was lying in a cage in a large white room. At the left edge of the room, a chair sat in front of a gigantic computer/television that was playing rock music videos. "Hello?" she said, sitting up and staring at the back of the chair. "Who's there?"
The chair spun around to reveal Red X, or rather Xanka. His mask was lying on the armrest, and his black hair was tousled. "What?" he asked roughly.
Dayna stared at him, groaned again, and fell back again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Titans Tower
Robin picked up Red X's belt off of where he had put it in the evidence room. He was still shocked at how Red X was able to disappear when he still had his belt. "How did he do it?" he wondered aloud. He sighed and walked out of the evidence room, the belt still in his fist.
In the main room, Cyborg was playing video games half-heartedly. His eyes kept flicking to Beast Boy, who was staring at the screen, a worried and sad look on his face. "C'mon, B," he said. "Playin some games might help you relax."
Beast Boy shook his head. "No thanks," he said, standing up and walking slowly to his room.
Starfire, who was hovering near the window, watched him go. "Oh, Robin," she said, flying over to him. "We have to find friend Dayna! Without her, Beast Boy has lost all-"
"I know, Star," Robin said, cutting her off. "But we don't know where Red X took her." He sighed again. "We're just going to have to wait for some kind of sign."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at Red X's Place, Two Hours Later
Dayna sighed. She was bored. The hours she had spent here were uneventful, except for the sudden arrival of Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth. She sighed again and pulled at her shirt. Xanka had thrown some clothes in with her and had left the room earlier so she could change. "I like this shirt," she said for the fifth time.
"I know," Xanka said. "You've told me."
Dayna ignored him. "It says 'It's Mind over Matter: I Don't Mind, Cause You Don't Matter'."
"I know!" Xanka said louder. "I picked the stupid thing out!"
Dayna looked at where he was sitting. He had switched his Red X outfit for a Rob Zombie t-shirt and a pair of battered and torn black jeans. He was wearing his black hat with the feathers and his shades. "Why?"
Xanka flipped the shades off and his eyes narrowed. "Because Thorn told me too."
"Who's Thorn?"
"Our Master," Xanka replied.
Dayna sighed again. "Do you mind if I sing?"
"Mind if you what?"
Dayna stood up and grabbed two of the bars on her cage. She opened her mouth, took a deep breath, and started:
"I'd like to teach the world to chill,
To take time to stop and smile.
I'd like to buy the world a Coke,
And chill with it a while.
It's a simple taste-"
"All right, hell no!" Xanka yelled.
Dayna stopped and smiled. She had found something to interest her.
Four Hours Later, Red X and Dayna
Xanka scowled at Dayna. She smiled back. "If you sing one more stupid song, I'm gonna rip your damn head off!"
"You don't like Green Day?" she asked sweetly.
Xanka groaned and grabbed onto the bars of her cage. "Please, just stop the singing."
Dayna gasped.
"What?"
"You didn't say a cussword!" She grinned. "I'm so proud of you!"
Xanka actually growled this time.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?"
Xanka turned, and Dayna moved aside, to see Gizmo standing in the doorway. "I could ask you the same thing," Xanka said gruffly.
Gizmo shrugged and walked over to them, taking the same position as Xanka. "So why are you yelling at the pretty girl?"
Dayna gasped again. "You hear that?" she asked Xanka. "He thinks I'm pretty."
"Yeah, and he's also like three feet tall," Xanka replied, placing a hand on Gizmo's head.
Gizmo started yelling and trying to get his hand off.
Dayna watched them for a little over two minutes, then sighed and began to sing again.
"I know I'm goin somewhere,
Don't care; I'll take any place at all,
Sometimes, I just drive around for hours,"
She grinned when she noticed Xanka scowled at her. "What?"
"I told you not to sing anymore damn songs!"
"Hey!" Gizmo yelled from underneath Xanka's hand. "Don't cuss at the pretty girl!"
"Shut up!" Xanka yelled at him.
"My name's Dayna," she told Gizmo, ignoring Xanka.
Gizmo nodded. ''Gotcha," he said. He grinned.
Dayna looked back up at Xanka. "Ain't he sweet?"
Xanka stared at her in shock and she burst out laughing.
"Hey!" Gizmo yelled. "I know you didn't just make a joke about me!"
Xanka regained himself and kicked Gizmo out from underneath his hand and he flew across the room. "I hate that kid!"
Jinx appeared at the door. "I don't know what you three are doing in here," she said, walking over to Xanka. "but Thorn said he's needs Gizmo to get that chair to work."
Gizmo got to his feet and left the room, grumbling.
"And he also says that you need to stop the yelling," she told Xanka.
Xanka snorted. "Tell this bitch here to stop singing and I will," he said angrily.
Jinx smiled. "And he also said that I am to stay here, and if you yell again-" She paused dramatically. "I'm going to give you a little bad luck."

Next Morning: Titans Tower
Beast Boy poked at a pile of tofu eggs. He sighed and pushed the plate away, then laid his head on his crossed arms.
"Uh, Beast Boy," Robin said. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"I'm not hungry," Beast Boy muttered. "I think I'll go to the mall."
"Oh!" Starfire said happily. "May I join you?"
Beast Boy shook his head and walked out of the Tower, leaving the others to wonder when he'd be back and what he was doing.
Two Hours Later, Titans Tower
The door to the main room opened and Beast Boy walked in, holding three bags of clothes. Without saying a word to the other Titans, he continued through to his room.
"What do ya think he got?" Cyborg asked.
"I don't know," Robin said.
Raven looked over the top of her book. "Those were bags from Hot Topic."
The others looked at her, surprised.
"What would Beast Boy be doin in Hot Topic?" Cyborg asked.
None of them could answer.
WeaselChick: Right then! That was interesting...I guess. All right then, thankz:
Estell: story alert list, fav story list, fav author list, and author alert list
Raventhedarkgoddess: story alert list
Revenant666: fav author list
And also thankz to all those who reviewed: Revenant666, Estell, Raventhedarkgoddess, overmind2000, Athena-Tonks 42, Cring White Wolf, and Raven42431. All in all, that's7 reviews! Aya! Aya! Aya!
The message thing on Dayna's shirt belongs to Cring White Wolf, not me.
Next Chapter: Chapter 9? I don't have a name for it yet. But I know it contains more of Dayna singing to infuriate Xanka. But not a lot, as I've gotta get back to the suspenseful and action parts of it. In other words, Thorn contacts the Titans to tell them that Dayna is all right, but not for long. That'll be the end of the two weeks when they have no idea where Dayna is, and the beginning of Terra and Dayna fighting. I'm sorry I couldn't fit that in this one, but Thorn is busy building things, and Terra has to help him because she is his 'dear'. And if anyone has any suggestions for a song Dayna should sing, tell me and give me the lyrics. BUT KEEP IT SHORT! Oh yeah, and if you have any ideas for what BB just bought, tell me.
And if you're wondering, the first song Dayna sang is a Coke song. The one from the commercial where all those people are on the roof. And the second one is theCingular songfrom the commerical where the dude is lying on the bed with a broken leg.
Anyway, REVIEW!
