This special ½ addition is for Nightwing38 – who is having a birthday! Is everyone's birthday this month? Eh, nevermind. Anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY NightWing. We warned you we would try to get an update out… it's just really, really small. I didn't have time to write a full chapter – sorry – hope this amuses everyone in the mean time.
Oh, and Bob couldn't make this chapter – he is currently throwing up from one of the rides… hehehe.

The next stop did, in fact, turn out to be home. The Titans all breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, they were out of the endless, brain rotting programs and home.
They promptly arrested Control Freak, though in all honestly when he looked over a manically grinning Raven he didn't put up much of a fight, and headed for heaven, also known as their beds.
They spent all of Saturday recovering; Raven didn't even have the energy to pull some 'Missions'.
Sunday came around bright and cheery. Since they had all spent most of the previous day sleeping they were all up early and going about their normal routines. This of course meant that Robin was training, Star deciding to join him, while Beastboy and Cyborg played video games.
Raven was, naturally, plotting.
The two days lost had seriously interrupted her plans. She had everything planned out on a time schedule and now it was moot. She was a little annoyed but simply shrugged it off. This simply meant that she would have to advance the time table and speed some things up.
Deciding not to waste any time she quickly dressed, still in her new pink cape, and headed down to the training room. She knew Robin would be there, what else would any sane superhero be doing at 7am on a Sunday (cough sane cough right), but she didn't count on Star. Oh well, she thought, an added bonus.
Rushing in, acting out of breath, she ran up to Robin, "Please tell me you have seen a fat bald Tibetan man come through here."
Robin just blinked at her; he really should have been expecting this, "A fat bald Tibetan? Uh – no, can't say that I have."
Raven cursed and stomped her foot. She looked over at Star who had stopped what she was doing mid-hover, "What about you?" At Stars negative she cursed some more, something Robin and Star were both shocked to hear and ran out of the room screaming, "COME BACK WITH MY MONEY YOU BALD BAS-"
Robin was thankful the door cut her off when it closed; he didn't want to have to explain the 'Bas-' word to Starfire.

Deciding that she could get a few more 'miles' out of Mission: Fat Bald Tibetan Man Who Has My Money, aka MI:FBTMWHMM, she headed for the common room where she knew Cyborg and Beastboy would be killing off brain cells with video games.
She walked in and sure enough neither noticed her, they were to busy trying to kill each other in their newest game, Crack Speed Racers: Pitstops of Doom. Smirking she started to walk around the room and look in the most unbelievable places she could. Really, who would think a fat bald Tibetan man could hide in the stereo system?
She looked in the fridge, she looked in the cabinets, she looked in the computer, she looked in the closet, she looked in Beastboys ear (which, surprisingly, he never noticed). It wasn't until she looked into the game station itself that the boys paid her any attention.
Beastboy started to ask her what she was doing but was cut off when Cyborg sharply shook his head. He knew this would only end badly if they 'played' into her delusions. One thing he knew about crazy people was that you never, ever encouraged them.
It wasn't until Raven 'phased' her hand through his chest that Cyborg finally broke. "Um, Raven? What are you doing?" He winced knowing he would regret asking.
"Looking for the fat bald Tibetan man who stole my money."
"Right, and you think he could be in my chest!"
Raven just looked at him, "Duh, they can hide anywhere; they're a very sneaky breed."
Simply nodding Cyborg watched as Raven continued to search. It wasn't until she used her powers to lift the couch that he and Beastboy were still sitting on that he decided to try and stop her. She could very well tear the tower apart if she was so inclined, and from the look of it, she was.
"So this man, he took your money?"
Raven just nodded, "Yep, well, no, I kinda gave it to him."
Beastboy looked at her funny, "Why would you give a fat bald Tibetan man your money?"
Raven just looked at him and smiled, "Wouldn't you like to know."
With that she did one last searching look around the room, "Guess he's not here… damn. You guys will let me know if you see him right? He's mostly naked and carrying a hundred dollar bill."
The two boys simply nodded wide-eyed at her.
"Great, I've got to check the basement." With that she phased out of the room heading, presumably, for the basement, leaving the two Titans looking at where she had disappeared.
Beastboy looked at Cyborg, "Do you think-"
Cyborg just cut him off, "No, and don't think about it again."
Beastboy watched as Cyborg shut off the game station and headed for the door. "Where are you going?"
"To work on Ravens room." With that he headed out muttering under his breath something about 'Fat bald Tibetans running off with his teammate's brain.'
TBC…
Yeesh, this was only supposed to be a tiny little thing but it kinda wrote itself. Full chapter in a few days… hope no one minds the wait… I have a year long pass to BG and I plan on making the most of it in the few days I've got here this week – yay. Oh, and a bit of advice. 'Sheikra' is not for beginners lol. I got to the top, Bob screaming all the way, and when it pauses and you look down, yes, I had to sit in the front row, you suddenly get this thought 'maybe this wasn't one of my brightest ideas'. After that first drop though it's a breeze…
