CHAPTER 2 Part 2:
Beast Boy only laughed then ran after Robin to head home. He put his bag in his mouth then morphed into a falcon and flew home, again though Robin beat him there. Though Beast Boy didn't stop at the door, he flew to his window and managed to open it from the outside. Ha! Now he didn't have to face Cyborg.
Starfire let out a sigh of surrender, they had searched nearly the entire mall and she was still hopeless for a gift to Robin.
Robin however had to take the time to park his bike and all. Great, Beast Boy had ditched him to face Cyborg on his own. Not really surprising though. The Boy Wonder pulled his helmet off and placed it on the seat of his bike. Even more greatness, now he had helmet hair. Maybe he should just use his bird-a-rang to get to his window... Yeah, he was that desperate. He pulled his cape around himself so he was nearly covered by the black side, holding the bag under it. Yeah, that didn't look suspicious one bit. It was worth a shot though.
"Don't worry, Star, we'll find something," Terra tried to encourage her friend, though she was doubtless herself. She was getting frustrated and felt like hitting something. This was a serious pain. And since she couldn't hit the shops, she half wanted to go him and hit Robin for being so difficult to shop for. Though, that was out of the question.
"I am starting to have the doubting..." Starfire said quietly.
The door of the tower opened, Cyborg walked out and looked around as if looking for something... or someone. He spotted Robin then walked over "Yo Robin! BB said you might need help with something," He said.
Beast Boy… he was going to pay. "I don't need help with anything," the Boy Wonder said flatly. Robin pulled his cape around himself a little more, though not enough to notice. The last time he had fully pulled his cape around himself like this was when he first met the other Titans, right after he'd gone solo. That hadn't lasted long, but Robin was glad he had met the Titans.
Cyborg's eyes darted to the cape that near fully covered Robin then allowed a smirk on his face, "What's under the cape?" He asked in a teasing tone while crossing his arms.
Terra sighed. She didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to say. "Maybe you could make him something?" she suggested.
"Oh, I do not know what to make either!" Starfire was worried that she had to get Robin something, since she might of sorta of kinda liked him. But what in the name of Tamaran was she supposed to do? She had no idea what he liked!
"Nothing," Robin said in the same calm yet point-blank tone. Oh yeah, extra training for Beats Boy for this brilliant move. Or at least extra dish duty. Maybe laundry. "Why?" he asked his eyes flashing to the left then back to Cyborg.
"Don't worry, Starfire," Terra said. "He won't mind. It's not like he'll be disappointed with you or anything," she added.
"Because Robbie Poo, it's almost v-day and it looks like your hiding something. And being as nosy as I am I want to know what," Cyborg was fighting back the laugh; he was almost dead sure what it was. Or at least who it was for.
Starfire looked at Terra with a doubtful look "Are you... sure? It would not seem right for me not to get him a gift..." She kicked at the floor slightly.
Robin twitched at the name 'Robbie Poo'. His eye twitched as he looked up at Cyborg and said, "Do NOT call me that," in a serious voice, though not mean. The last person to call him that… the very thought made him shudder. He let Cyborg's remark wash over him as though it had never been said.
Terra smiled. "Dead sure," she said. "Robin's not like that, you have nothing to be worried about," she added. She paused before saying, "Besides, I bet he'd enjoy spending the day with you more then any little gift." She smiled again. As she had noticed before, Robin and Starfire didn't spend much time alone together. She thought Robin would like that though.
"Okay, okay," Cyborg rolled his eyes then looked back at Robin. "So what's under the cape bird boy?" he stretched out the word 'so'.
Starfire blushed deeply, "Oh um... Yes... that would be... nice" She said still blushing but grinning all the same.
Drat… change of subject had no affect here. "Nothing," Robin said, his eyes narrowing slightly. Oh… Beast Boy would pay! Extra training, dish duty, and laundry, Robin thought. And if I'm mean enough, no video games. …Okay, that's a little harsh.
Terra grinned. "You wanna just head home?" she asked with shrug.
Cyborg gave Robin the 'yeah right' look, "Aww c'mon, I won't tell your girl friend what you got her, I just want to see." He laughed that time.
Starfire thought about it, taking a quick glance around before nodding her 'yes'.
Robin's grew wide, then narrowed and he let his shoulders come up, making it look like his head had sunk down a bit. "I don't have a girlfriend!" he half mumbled.
Terra nodded as well and turned on her heel to head out the doors. Well… at least the tried. She jumped onto the rock she had used earlier and started off.
Cyborg decided to leave Robin alone for now, "Right sure, I'm going back inside." He let himself laugh a few times on the way before walking back inside the tower then sitting on the couch next to Beast Boy who looked ready to bust into laughing fits.
Starfire followed, soon in the air herself and flying along side Terra back home.
Robin sighed a sigh of relief. He waited a couple minutes before going inside as well, cape still draped around him. He headed for the stairs. First thing he was doing was putting this stuff in his room. He walked down a couple halls finally coming to his room. He let his door slide open and set the small bag down. He then left his room and headed back downstairs.
Terra jumped off the rock once they were back at the Tower. Oh great, now she had to get it to her room without Beast Boy seeing. Maybe her window? No, it was locked. AHA! The roof!
"Okay, if Robin tries to strangle me or something try to buy me enough time to make a run for it," Beast Boy told Cyborg who seemed to be ignoring him because the TV was of more interest.
Starfire used the door, she had nothing to hide. As she walked into the tower her eyes made a quick scan around the room.
Robin's foot hit the down stairs floor and he walked up behind Beast Boy on the couch, glaring at him, though not saying a word. He would wait and see how long it took the jokester to realize he was there. He was ready to tackle him though and hold a piece of steak in his face until he begged for mercy. Okay, maybe he wasn't that cruel. Then again, maybe he was. He hadn't made up his mind yet.
"Cyborg? Are you listening to me! I just know Robin is going to want to beat the crap out of me! I kinda need your support here..." Beast Boy said to his cyboeretic friend. "Okay fine! My blood on your hands," He said before glancing over behind his shoulder. He turned around again and saw Robin "Robin! Dude! Hi!" he laughed nervously.
Cyborg was trying not to snicker right now.
Robin had his cape around him still, making him look all the more menacing. And taller too. His glare hardened. "You have three seconds," was all he said. He knew even Beast Boy would get the point of that statement.
Terra got back on her rock and flew it up to the roof top where she jumped off, still holding the bag. She made her way quickly to the door that would take her downstairs and opened it. She didn't know how many flights of stairs and hallways she went down, and she didn't feel like counting either.
Beast Boy gulped then took a quick glance around; he grinned then got up and screamed at the top of his lungs. "STARFIRE! HELP," the green teenager ran over to hide behind his red haired friend.
"Help? With what?" Starfire looked down at Beast Boy then up at Robin who he was most likely was running from.
"Don't' even pull that with me, Beast Boy!" Robin darted after him.
Raven came walking downstairs, hearing all the yelling and what not. She looked at Robin. Great, now her leader had sunk to Beast Boy's childish level. Well… that's it, they were done for. She smirked and said, "Well, we're doomed now," in a sarcastic tone.
Terra let her door slide open and went over to her bed. She set the bag down on the floor next to it. She'd wrap it later. Looking up as she heard yelling, she strained her ears a little. A smile went up her face, she was missing this! Quickly walking out her door and down a few more halls and stairs, she finally made it downstairs.
Beast Boy saw the whole 'hide behind Starfire' trick wouldn't work. For one reason Starfire didn't look like she was about to help him and Robin looked like he didn't care. So he did the next best thing... He ran towards where he had caught Terra coming in and morphed into a puppy, giving out little barks that almost sounded like 'Help me!'.
Cyborg was tuning them out, trying to focus on the car show that was playing on TV.
"Whoa, Beast Boy," Terra said as the little green puppy ran towards her. "What's wrong?" she asked, stooping down. She got her answer about two seconds later.
"Beast Boy! Don't even try hiding behind her, you little coward!" Terra looked up more to see Robin going after Beast Boy. She wondered what Beast Boy had done to get on Robin's nerves now.
Beast Boy made one last burst of energy and jumped into Terra's arms and hoped he was safe... for now.
Terra caught Beast Boy in his puppy form, and petted him.
"Terra," Robin had caught up seconds later. "Give me the mutt," he said.
"Why?" Terra asked innocently. "What did he do to you? And if I give him to you, what are you gonna do to him?" she questioned.
"Nothing… much," Robin said. Terra gave him an uncertain look. "I'm not going to do anything to hurt him… too bad," he only half joked.
Terra didn't move, just continued petting the puppy's head and back, scratching behind his ears occasionally. "At least you're honest," she said.
"Would you just give me the dog?" Robin was losing his patience.
"Hmm…" Terra pretended to think. "Nah," she said after a short pause.
Beast Boy sat there, enjoying the petting. A large puppy smile stayed plastered on his furry face as he looked at Robin. Deciding to get brave the puppy formed boy brought his paws to his eyes and pulled them down then stuck his tongue out. Making a weird impression of a 'na-na' face in puppy form at Robin.
Robin glared at the puppy as Terra hugged him. "Isn't he cute?" she said in a mocking voice to Robin.
"I call it disturbing," Raven joked in her usual way.
Robin shook his head slowly. "You better watch your back," he said to the puppy before turning on his heel and heading for the couch. He was planning ways to get Beast Boy back already.
Beast Boy lowered his paws to allow himself hugged, ha the life of a puppy wasn't half bad! He gave laughing barks at Robin before just limply hanging in Terra's arms with his little pink tongue sticking out in a cute pant. He lowered his head and gave Terra puppy kisses before wiggling as if asking to be put down now.
Cyborg happened to glance back at the two... odd couple. "Okay, I'm agreeing with Rea... that is disturbing," he laughed.
Robin ignored the little puppy barks and sat down on the couch, deep in thought of ways to get Beast Boy back. Usually he wasn't the type for revenge on his friends when they did stuff like that to him, but this time was different. That would have been a years worth of teasing right there.
Terra laughed a little bit and set him down, seeing as he was safe from Robin now.
Raven nodded her head as Cyborg agreed. Those two were such… flirts.
Beast Boy stretched his legs out before morphing back to his humor form. A winning smile painted on his face. "Thanks Terra, I thought for sure I was about to become bird food for a minute," he joked.
Starfire shook her head at her friends, not that she didn't enjoy the chaos every now and then. She took a seat on the couch not far from Robin. Taking one quick glance at him before looking up at the TV.
Terra smiled as well. "Anytime," she said. "I wouldn't let you become bird food," she assured him with a laughing grin.
Robin looked over at Starfire as she sat down, then looked back ahead of him, not wanting to stare or anything.
Starfire stood up a few minutes later and walked to her room. She wanted to get some decorating up; maybe it wouldn't make her feel so bad about not being able to get Robin anything.
Beast Boy chuckled then looked over at Robin, grinning to himself. He turned back to Terra. "Okay, I'm going to need you as a shield again," he grinned in an 'I'm about to do something' way.
Terra gave him a questioning look, but nodded her head. "Okay," she said, wondering what he was up to now.
Robin looked over when Starfire stood up. He looked away again after a few moments, but couldn't help to stare at her a little bit. Looking up at the TV, he watched the car show Cyborg still had going.
Beast Boy started to the kitchen, looking as casual as he could as he grabbed a paper bag from the cupboards. The green joker motioned Terra to follow him as he walked towards the back of the couch while blowing the bag up. Oh he was in so much trouble, but it was for the sake of a joke. Beast Boy held the bag tightly; trapping the air in it he held it close to Robin's head then...
BANG
Terra followed Beast Boy. It only took her a second or two to realize what he was doing. She grinned mischievously and held her laughter in.
"GAH!" Robin jumped nearly three feet in the air, and yelled in surprise, eyes wide. "We're under attack! TITANS!" he whipped out his bo-staff and stopped before he could finish his battle cry. Beast Boy… AGAIN! He should have known. He scowled at the jokester and extended the bo-staff. "YOU ARE DEAD!" he yelled and jumped the couch.
Terra immediately cracked up, holding her sides from laughing so hard. That was hilarious! "You should have seen your face!" she laughed out as she pointed to Robin.
Cyborg had even jumped at that, he turned around to glare at the green prankster. "Yo BB! I'm trying to watch TV!" He snapped.
At first Beast Boy was laughing too hard to care about either Robin ready to beat him to a pulp, or Cyborg snapping at him. But a minute later he stopped his high pitched laughing and jumped behind Terra. He placed his hands on her shoulder and peeked past, as if Terra was a barrier wall between Robin and himself.
Terra smirked at Robin, though still laughed.
Robin glared, still scowling. "Move, Terra!" he snapped, eyes still stuck on Beast Boy, looking ready to beat the crap out of him.
"Make me!" Terra snapped back, though in more of a joking way.
"Don't make me make you!" Robin said, his eyes flashing to Terra. She only smiled.
"Go ahead and try," a smirk went up her face.
"Don't let him get me!" Beast Boy whimpered. Though it was really hard not to laugh right now.
Cyborg turned around and watched the three, okay this was amusing.
Robin sighed, clearly annoyed with the whole situation. He stepped back as if saying he surrendered. Terra grinned smugly right before Robin, using his bo-staff, vaulted himself into the air and over Terra so he was now in front of Beast Boy. Her smile quickly faded. She should have seen that one coming.
"AH!" Beast Boy yelped, pressing his back to Terra's in slight surprise. "Why do I get the feeling I am about to run for my life?" he asked in a slightly joking tone.
Terra turned her head to watch Robin's next move.
Robin only glared for a moment. "Run," was all he said in a dangerous voice. He would be after Beast Boy the second he ran.
Raven looked up from her book. "Oooh, do we get to see Beast Boy get his butt kicked because of a prank he pulled?" she smirked again.
"Sir yes sir!" Beast Boy gave a wiry grin before faking a dash to the left and then making a dead run for the hall to the right.
"Looks that way," Cyborg answered Raven with a laugh.
Robin went to the left as well, and the scowled again before dashing off after Beast Boy.
Terra stood there, considering her options. She grinned and bolted after the two boys.
"Ahh! Call the government! Call the police! Call the SWAT! Call the pizza dude! Call someone to help me before I'm dead!" Beast boy screamed of course joking as he ran into the hall way that went to each Titan bed room.
"Ah man, there goes the entertainment!" Cyborg whined, joking though.
"Darn," Raven said, though not sounding too disappointed.
Robin was right behind Beast Boy, ready to tackle him.
Terra ran after Robin. Right before he tackled Beast Boy, she jumped and tackled Robin to the ground. The two of them hit the floor and Robin's bo-staff which he still held flew out of his hand. "TERRA!" he yelled as she pinned him.
"What?" she asked innocently, grinning at Beast Boy.
Beast Boy stopped running and looked behind him to see the two and laughed. "Way to go Terra!" he cheered.
Cyborg heard something or someone hit the floor and sighed. "I'm gonna go make sure they don't kill each other," He got up from his seat and started to the hall way.
Raven looked over at Cyborg, to her book, and then up at the ceiling. She set her book down and stood up, walking after Cyborg.
"Terra, get off of me!" Robin said slowly and clearly.
Terra only smiled. "Nah," she said without a pause. Robin scowled in frustration and grabbed her arms. He locked his legs around hers and pushed her up, and then over so her back hit the ground and he pinned her. "HEY!" she snapped with a glare.
"That's what you get," he said with a smirk as she struggled to get free. He was starting to annoy her. She figured he was right, she deserved it, but still. She grabbed onto his shoulders, trying to push him off, but he was stronger then her. She considered pulling that flippy stunt where she flipped him off of her.
Cyborg walked over and looked over the scene "I can't believe you guys are-" He stopped and looked down at BB. "-two bucks on Robin," he betted.
"Ha! You're on! Terra's gonna kick Robins behind!" Beast Boy grinned then resumed cheering.
Starfire came out from her room to see what was going on and saw the two on the floor and the other two boys cheering. "Friends, what is going on?" She asked, flying over.
"Live wrestling Star," Cyborg laughed.
Raven merely raised an eyebrow. This was… interesting.
With a yell, Terra flipped backwards, kicking Robin off of her. She landed a few feet away, skidding to a stop. Robin jumped back and then lunged at her again. She moved out of his way and grabbed his foot, pulling him down. Cheap move, she knew, but that made it fun. Robin yanked her down and went to tackle her at the same time she did. They grabbed onto each other's shoulders, trying to pull the other one down first.
"Shouldn't we... be breaking it up?" Starfire asked.
"Nah," Cyborg and Beast Boy said at the same time then resumed cheering.
"C'mon Robin! She's a girl!" Cyborg yelled.
"Go Terra! show bird boy who's really boss!" Beast Boy cheered. Though he was starting to consider jumping in and tackling Robin for pinning Terra down. In his mind, only he was allowed to do that.
Raven shot Cyborg a glare. "What does being a girl have to do with this?" she asked.
Robin grunted as he finally pulled Terra down. He pinned her in a way that made it near impossible for her to flip backwards again. Terra immediately realized this and struggled to get free again. "Aw c'mon! That's no fair!" she protested.
"Life's not fair," Robin told her.
Cyborg looked at Raven while a giant sweat drop ran down the side of his head, "Oh uh... Just forget I said that." He laughed nervously.
Beast Boy grunted at Robin before running a short distance and tackling the boy wonder off of Terra.
Starfire had her hands laced down at her waist, why did boys like playing so rough? Well maybe it wasn't entirely boys, Terra was playing too. Though she had always played rougher... alwell.
Raven looked away from Cyborg, and back to the 'fight'. She enjoyed doing that to people.
"GAH!" Robin was tackled off of Terra, and surprised by it too. He looked up to see Beast Boy. Surprise there. "What's wrong, Beast Boy?" Robin half taunted. He knew perfectly well why Beast Boy had tackled him. Or, he thought he knew anyways.
Terra sat up, and looked over at Beast Boy and Robin. "Yeah! Go Beast Boy!" she yelled triumphantly.
Beast boy already had a excuse, "What? I'm not allowed to join in all the fun," He laughed. Like he would say why he had really tackled Robin in front of everyone, HA.
"Yo man that's not fair! You interrupted the fight," Cyborg whined at Beast Boy while crossing his arms.
Robin shook his head at the excuse. "Sure," he said. He grabbed Beast Boy's arms and pulled the same move he'd used on Terra earlier to pin him down.
Raven looked over at Cyborg. "You should be happy. He should owe you two bucks now," she said.
Terra looked over, still sitting on the floor. "Nu-uh, he pulled a cheap shot!" she said.
"And you didn't?" Raven asked.
Terra didn't answer that. Okay, so she had pulled a few cheap moves too.
"Ah!" Beast Boy yelped at Robins move then smirked before morphing into a rat and scurrying out from under Robins grip. Now free Beast Boy morphed back into his human state and stuck his tongue out at Robin, making a thibbit nose.
"Hm, good point Rea." Cyborg grinned.
Robin stood up, and moments later tackled Beast Boy again. He didn't get him pinned though, only attempted to wrestle him to the ground.
Terra grinned at her opportunity and jumped in, tackling Robin.
Beast Boy was again tackled to the floor, but rescued by Terra. He stood up and laughed. "Yay Terra!"
"I believe they are doing the teaming up on Robin... is this allowed?" Starfire asked.
"I dunno, but it's amusing." Cyborg laughed again, wishing he had some popcorn.
"Yo Terra! Try to hold Robin down," Beast Boy jogged over then ripped off one of Robin's boots with some struggle. Okay, a few things, 1, he needed to take these things off more! Smelled worse then Starfire's stink cake. And two, they were too heavy.
"Will do!" Terra said. She held the Boy Wonder down as well as she could. He was struggling and fighting back of course.
Raven watched, waiting for the torture to begin. She knew where Beast Boy was going with this.
"This is unfair!" Robin protested. Terra only smiled.
"Life isn't fair," she quoted him from earlier.
Beast Boy started to run his finger lightly up and down Robin's foot after removing the stinky sock and throwing it on Robin's face, ha that was fun.
Robin immediately stopped protesting and started cracking up; the sock fell off his face in doing so. That was a good thing, though. "Stop!" he yelled at Beast Boy through laughter. "Don't! Stop!"
"Don't stop?" Terra laughed. "Well, you heard him," she said to Beast Boy.
"Yep!" Beast Boy laughed then kept ticking, though now with both hands. He had never heard Robin laugh more then a few times a week. He wasn't most of the laughing all the time type.
"Hmm... someone should probably help him..." Cyborg laughed, yeah right.
Robin continued cracking up. "STOP!" he yelled desperately through laughs. "That tickles! Stop!"
"That's the point," Terra laughed.
Robin was seriously considering spitting in her face to get her off of him.
They carried on a little longer, Beast Boy laughing nearly the whole time as Robin's torture bore on. But finally Starfire stepped in and asked Terra and BB to leave Robin alone for a little bit. And with hesitation BB agreed and stood up from where he had been sitting at Robin's feet.
Terra sighed and stood up too.
Robin just lay there for a minute breathing heavily from laughing so hard. He looked up at Starfire and smiled sheepishly. "Uhh…heh… thanks," he said with a nervous laugh, still on the ground.
"Well, fun over," Raven partially joked.
Starfire smiled, "You are welcome," she shyly offered her hand to help Robin up.
Beast Boy coughed. "Do you want us to leave you two alone?" He joked.
"Yo, you took my lines," Cyborg gave Beast Boy a playful push on the shoulders.
Robin shot Beast Boy and Cyborg a warning glare and Terra started snickering. Robin took her hand a bit hesitantly. So, he got nervous with his friends already teasing him. Oh well.
"Well, I'm getting a coke," Terra said. "Anyone want something?" she asked before leaving the hallway.
Starfire blushed lightly then lifted Robin up, though being strong she pulled a little hard.
Beast Boy and Cyborg totally ignored Robin of course. BB turned and watched Terra for a moment before jogging to catch up with her.
"I'll like to order a root beer and a snack, an apple if you would and-" Beast Boy started as if Terra was a waitress, joking around again. But Cyborg cut him off in a tease.
"And He'll have the side dish of a flirt," The half robot laughed.
Beast boy narrowed his eyes at his giant friend, okay so the teasing wasn't fun when it was on him.
"Whoa!" Robin was pulled up instantly, a little hard, but pulled up. "Thanks," he said to Starfire with a small smile.
Terra laughed at Beast Boy's jokes, and then turned to glare in a joking way at Cyborg. Mostly joking.
Starfire smiled "Oh, you are most welcome!" she said before remembering she still had decorating to do! "I must get back to my work, again you are welcome!" she said blushing slightly for some reason then hurrying to her room.
Cyborg ignored the glares; he was used to those by now.
"Like I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted! Root beer and an apple sound good." Beast Boy looked at Terra and smiled as they walked.
"Wait, wait. If you two are gonna start flirting give me time to clear the room. I rather not barf yet," Cyborg laughed again.
Robin smiled as Starfire left. He looked back at Cyborg. "Then you better move quick," he said as Terra laughed and shook her head at Beast Boy's joking, though in a way that said she thought it was funny.
Raven listened to her friends before heading downstairs. She felt like getting something to drink too.
Cyborg laughed at Robin's comment "Yeah."
Beast Boy glared over at the others then leaned closer to Terra and whispered "Run!" with laughter in his voice before he morphed into a skunk and looked at the other two boys with evil eyes.
Terra smiled and bolted down the hallway. Raven wasn't too far ahead. She grabbed onto Raven's wrist, pulling her down the hall.
"Terra!" Raven said, surprised at the blonde's actions. "What're you doing?"
"Helping you!" Terra laughed as they ran down the hall.
"Aw man…" Robin eyed the skunk warily. "RUUUUUUN!" he yelled as he bolted in the other direction.
"aWw man!" Cyborg whined then ran along side Robin.
Beast Boy bolted after them, morphing into a few animals till he was just a little ways in front of them before morphing back into the skunk... and doing what skunks do best. 'Spraying' them.
Cyborg started to turn green "Oh man!" He gagged, waving his hand back in forth as if it would help.
Robin plugged his nose. "BEAST BOY!" he yelled, and then coughed a few times.
"Do I even want to know what he did now?" Raven asked from one of the barstools in the kitchen.
"Probably not," Terra said. "But I'll tell you anyways," she laughed. "One word: Sunk."
"Ah," Raven said.
Beast Boy scurried away from the other boys and soon joined the girls in human form "Hey ladies!" He smiled, clearly proud of himself.
"Hey," Terra said. "Things go as planned?" she half joked. Alright, she knew they had otherwise Robin wouldn't have yelled Beast Boy's name like that.
Raven looked up at him. "You're life is bent on torturing them, isn't it?" she asked.
"Just as planned," Beast Boy laughed and smiled at Terra before looking at Raven to answer her question. "Yea, pretty much. But they asked for it."
"True," Terra said with a grin.
Raven just kinda shrugged.
"I want lunch," Terra said. She was just realizing they hadn't had lunch yet.
"I'll make lunch!" Beast Boy quickly volunteered. In seconds he already had different foods cooking, in one skillet sizzled veggies and in the other tofu! Yum.
It was nearly an hour later when Cyborg came down, still smelling slightly though not as bad. He had been constantly trying to get the nasty smell out but it was hard since he couldn't really take showers. And the tomato sauce didn't seem to help much.
Robin came down too, grumbling still and shooting Beast Boy warning glares.
Terra was waiting for food. She'd eat almost anything. Right now, even vegetables sounded good. She had another can of cherry coke in her hand which she been sipping on for the past few minutes.
Raven had a cup of tea in her hands, also waiting for lunch.
Beast Boy was dishing out the food when the boys came down, he smiled sweetly. "Hello Cyborg and Robin! Have fun?" He was clearly mocking their glares.
"Shut up skunk boy... VEGGIES! FOR LUNCH!" Cyborg looked ready to blow his head off.
"YES! VEGGIES! THEIR GOOD FOR YOU," Beast Boy shouted back.
"But I hate veggies! And... TOFU!" Cyborg moaned. "Move over, I need REAL food," He had a whinny voice.
"No way man!" Beast Boy said.
Starfire was in the hall, she had cut out pink and purple red and blues, green and yellow hearts from paper. And was now taping them everywhere. She had done put a bunch on Raven's door and lined the hall ways. The alien was making her way down stairs; she heard the yelling and sighed to herself.
Robin sat down, not minding the fact that it was veggies but eyed it warily. "What did you do to it?" he asked, automatically assuming Beast Boy had put something in it. He picked around the food with his fork.
Terra picked up her fork and started eating immediately. So she was hungry. She eyes the vegetables. "This would be good with peanut butter!" she said randomly.
Raven leaned over to stare at Terra with an unbelieving look.
"I didn't do anything to it! It's just veggies, eat and enjoy," Beast Boy rolled his eyes. Then looked over at Terra before grabbing the peanut butter and dishing a spoon out onto his veggies and tofu then handing the butter to Terra. "Here you go!" He smiled sweetly at her.
Cyborg made gagging signs at the smile Beast Boy was giving Terra as he pulled out some hot dogs from the fridge.
Terra smiled back with her own sweet, slightly flirty smile. "Thanks," she said. She dished herself some peanut butter and set the jar down on the counter before continuing to eat.
"You're both nuts," Raven said, shaking her head slightly.
Terra looked up. "What?" she asked.
Robin only shook his head before eating the food that Beast Boy had given him, slowly at first as though expecting some kind of… burping powder or something to be in it.
Beast Boy ate a few forkfuls of his food before looking at Robin. As if he had read his mind Beast Boy said "Relax Robin, I ran out of anything I could possibly do to your food yesterday. I was meaning to get more, forgot though," He shrugged then scooped more in his mouth.
Cyborg was now enjoying boiled hot dogs, or he was till he spit them out. "BEAST BOY! WHAT DID YOU DO!"
Beast Boy snickered, "Nothing!"
"You did something!" Cyborg demanded. "What?"
Beast Boy snickered again then let it out, "I put horse radish in the ketchup," he laughed.
"You little-" Cyborg was cut off by an obvious happy Starfire floating into the room with her arms full of decorations.
"I am in need of help," Starfire said.
Terra was grinning to herself. Oh the Titans would love her after this. She just bought Beast Boy a whole thing of more pranks and prank ideas… With a gift card for refills. She took another bite of food, and looked up at Starfire.
"With what?" Robin asked, turning to look at her.
"With the decorating of valentines!" Starfire said happily.
Beast Boy and Cyborg exchanged glances, each as if saying 'you do it!'
"I need to meditate," Raven said with a shrug of her shoulders. She had just finished eating and stood up, walking over to the large windows in the living room. She sat down in her meditation position, levitating into the air a little.
"I'm busy. Well, I have something I need to do," Terra said. And it was true. She had to wrap Beast Boy's gift. She'd rather do it now and get it over with then later. She hated wrapping things. She was horrible at it.
Seeing as no one else would help, Robin looked at Starfire. "I'll help," he said. He wouldn't mind spending the time with her. Actually, he's more then likely enjoy it.
"Oh thank you Robin!" Starfire smiled brightly then handed him about half of the streamers and hearts and what not. "Just put them as you please in this room." She said, smiling sweetly then floating over to the windows and walls to start taping the decorations up.
Beast Boy and Cyborg where playing rock paper scissor too see who would do dish duty, so far they kept calling re rolls. So no one had to yet.
Terra hopped off her stool and headed for the stairs. She walked into her room a few minutes later and went to her bed were she'd left the gift. She took it out of the bag and went to the middle of her floor where she set it down. In her closet was some wrapping paper, just incase she ever had to wrap gifts, like now. There was some silver metallic paper with red hearts on it. Corny, but Valentine's Day-ish enough. She sat down in the middle of her room to wrap the gift.
Robin randomly put decorations up as Starfire had told him too. He taped some of the little hearts on the windows and walls, or where ever else he found.
Raven opened one eye, looking at the decorations. Oh tomorrow would be fun. Flirts, pink decorations. She figured she'd spend most of the day in her room.
Paper
Scissor
Rock!
"Drat... REDO!" Beast Boy called and the boys redid it, again. Oh yeah a lot was getting done this way for sure!
Starfire hummed as she taped the steamers and hearts all around the tower. Mostly going into the spots Robin would have trouble with since he couldn't fly.
Once... or twice… okay, multiple times, Robin couldn't help but stop and stare at Starfire a moment before continuing on and putting decorations up.
Raven had caught this but merely smirked and kept on meditating.
Around ten minutes later, Terra came downstairs again. Okay, so she'd had a little trouble with the wrapping paper and it turned out poorly wrapped. But oh well.
"I beat you that time!" Beast Boy laughed.
"What about all the times I beat you? Hmm?" Cyborg asked. "You got dishes."
"Dude! No way!" Beast Boy shook his head no.
"Dude, yes way!" Cyborg said again, this time crossing his arms.
Starfire glanced at the boys and giggled as she hung up another paper ornament.
Robin smiled to himself at Starfire's giggle. He couldn't help it! …Again. He taped the last of the paper hearts to one of the walls. "Done," he said.
Terra looked around. "You guys are still trying to figure out who gets dishes?" she asked the two boys in the kitchen.
The boys didn't seem to hear Terra over their arguing over the oh so evil dishes.
"But I beat you how many times? I lost count at ten!" Cyborg claimed.
"Aw you lair! You did not win that many times. You must have gotten your score mixed with mine," Beast Boy laughed.
Cyborg narrowed his eyes and grunted, "I remember beating you more then you beat me booger breath."
"My memory says other wise!" Beast Boy protested
"What did we have for lunch yesterday?" Cyborg asked.
"Ummm..."
"My point made" Cy laughed.
Terra laughed a little at the two of them. They never stopped fighting. Well, they did, but they always fought at the same time. If that made sense.
"Would you two be quiet?" Raven more of ordered then asked.
Robin shook his head at his two friends, then looked over at Starfire. He couldn't help it. He couldn't look away either.
Cyborg and Beast Boy ignored Raven and kept arguing till they came to peace at last.
So now Cyborg was washing the few dishes in the sink then rinsing while Beast Boy dried and put away.
Starfire smiled to herself when her too loud friends finally came to peace over the matter of a few simple dishes in need of washing. The two seemed to always make peace some way at the end of a fight, or totally forget about it. Perhaps that's why it didn't bother her when they fought, or as much anyways because she knew they always made up in the end.
Starfire turned her head to take a quick glance at Robin but then quickly turned away when she saw he was looking at her, her face started heating into a blush.
"Yo, BB get your head outta la-la land and dry these man," Cyborg told Beast Boy who had a plate in his hand only half way dried with the blue hand towel.
Beast Boy shook his head and looked away from Terra back at Cyborg, "oops, sorry."
Robin hurriedly looked away, blushing slightly. Why did he do that? And why did he only realize he was staring when she realized it? That had to be the most annoying, embarrassing thing. Robin moved away from the wall he was standing by and made his way over to the couch. Picking up the remote, he took a seat and started flipping channels. Was it just him, or did they all look Valentine's Day like?
Terra looked over at the two boys in the kitchen when she heard Cyborg. She never saw Beast Boy in 'la-la' land though. All she saw was him drying plates. She figured he'd been spacing off at the wall or something, day dreaming maybe. For some reason, Terra didn't look away from him. She did it without realizing of course.
Beast Boy stacked another dish onto the growling pile then looked at Cyborg, "Can I borrow the T-car?" he asked, that was a very bold thing to do.
Cyborg let that process for a minute before slowing turning his head to look at B with an expression that gave Beast Boy the clear answer, 'NO'.
"Please? I won't crash it I swear!"
"Oh sure! I'll let you drive! I mean your only under age and have never driven a car before. Yeah! I feel so sure you won't crash the most high tech car on earth, sure Beast Boy!" Cyborg's voice was filled with sarcasm.
"Are you being sarcastic?" Beast boy asked.
"Yeah, yeah I am."
"Figured."
Starfire looked around the newly decorated room and smiled in delight. She thought that maybe Silkie would like to join in this day of valentines so floated closer to the floor in search of the mutant worm.
Terra looked on in amusement. It was fun to watch them argue. Well, she mainly watched Beast Boy, but she looked back and forth from one to the other sometimes too.
"What do you need the T-Car for anyways?" Robin asked.
"Or do you just want to get behind the wheel and 'take a spin'?" Raven guessed. She was still over by the window in meditating position.
Robin finally stopped switching channels. It was some TV Valentine's Special. He wasn't going to watch it, oh no. He was just bored of flipping through channels.
"Yup," Beast Boy agreed with Ravens guess.
"Too bad, remember the T-sub incident? We let you fly it that one time. Any idea how hard it was to replace those parts you broke after crashing?" Cyborg returned his look to the dishes he was washing.
Beast Boy opened his mouth to protest, so what if he had 'crashed' the sub? In his words it was only a rough landing. He closed his mouth and just grumbled his protest over while putting the plates away.
Robin stood up from the couch. "I'll be right back," he said. He was going to go wrap a certain gift to a certain person. There wasn't anything else to do. Nothing on TV. He headed upstairs, and finally down a few halls until he came to his door. He let it slide open and walked in. He picked up the small bag and looked around. He had a small amount of wrapping paper here somewhere. He pulled one of the rolls of paper down from his closet and sat down to wrap the gift.
Terra jumped up from her stool. No one was watching TV, so… She made her way over to the stereo and turned it on. Music! She switched it from Robin's usual station to her own usual station. ROCK! "What the-" her station was playing a love song. She sighed and changed it to another station she listened to. LOVE SONGS! She glared at the stereo with an 'I hate you' look.
"Eww! Turn it off!" Cyborg gave a mock whine over the music. "All this lovy dove crap is gonna make me puke," he laughed as he finished the dishes.
Beast Boy finished putting away another stack of plates and cups before rinsing the last few skillets then setting them on the towel to dry. Okay so dishes weren't that bad, but he would never admit that. "Aw knock it off Cy, your just jealous because you don't got a girl friend," Beast Boy laughed.
"And you do?" Raven smirked.
"Never knew you two made it official," Robin teased while Terra wasn't paying attention. She was over by the stereo flipping channels still trying to figure out what to listen too.
She made gagging motions after figuring out that the rap station was one of the only stations not playing love music. She immediately changed the channel.
Beast Boy's face turned red, "uhh umm I ... umm..."
Cyborg joined Raven and smirked down at his green no wait... red friend. "Yeah" he stretched the word out.
"That's not what I meant!" Beast Boy tried, while shifting his eyes from side to side.
"Then what did you mean?" Cyborg laughed.
"Umm..." Beast Boy looked around the room a few times as if looking for help. "Hey! Where's Starfire?" he tried.
"Nice try on changing the subject," Cyborg raised his eye brow, trying not to let the little green teenager out of his situation so easily.
Beast Boy's eye twitched as if saying 'darn it...'
Starfire came into the main room looking proud over Silkie's new uh look. The poor worm was now enduring a red dress with pink frills and a heart shaped bonnet.
Robin looked over at Starfire and the pitiful worm. He gave a partially sympathetic look. Poor worm…
Raven looked up. "Uhh... Starfire?" she asked a bit unsurely. "You do know Silkie's a boy, right?"
Terra finally turned the stereo off, finding nothing on.
Starfire nodded, "On my planet it is not uncommon for boys to wear such dressing," she informed.
Cyborg and Beast boy looked over at their alien friend.
"Dude..." Beast Boy gaped, his poor little buddy. He may not go into battles, but he did his share of pain around here.
Cyborg on the other hand pointed and laughed at the annoyed looking worm who was trying to eat its bonnet.
Robin stared. Wow… he… didn't know that.
"Oh," Raven said quite simply.
Terra went to the fridge, pulling out a cherry coke. She popped it open and took a sip.
"How many of those have you had today?" Robin asked, looking over.
Terra shrugged. "I dunno, three maybe," she said with a grin. So she liked cherry coke.
Cyborg restrained his laughter then looked over at Terra and raised his eye brow. "Girl, watch it with those. Last time you drank to many we almost had to duct tape you to the couch to make you hold still for more then five seconds," He remembered.
"Yeah but it was funny to see her so hyper," Beast Boy laughed.
Terra only grinned. It was anything but an innocent grin. She took another large gulp, as if taunting her friends.
"She doesn't care," Raven said.
Robin shook his head a little, though smiling at his friends.
