Chapter 2 Part 2:
The day was so far still a pretty quiet one. Even a few hours later. By then, Terra had had two more cherry cokes still. She didn't often drink more then two a day, usually only one. She was getting on Raven's nerves. Highly. The blonde couldn't stop laughing.
"Somebody… shut her up," Raven said with fingers to her temples as if she had a headache.
Cyborg's vein was throbbing; Terra's laughter was starting to get on his nerves. "If only..." he responded to Raven while trying to play his video game.
Beast Boy only laughed along with Terra, that didn't help the clearly annoyed Cyborg, or Raven for that matter. His high pitched laughing sounded more girly then Terra's at some points.
Terra had a hand on Beast Boy's shoulder, head down as she continued laughing. She calmed down enough to ask, "What's the funniest joke you know?" just because she wanted to laugh more.
Robin's eye twitched a little as he side glanced at the two. Raven merely groaned. Great, another one of Beast Boy's jokes.
Beast Boy stopped laughing for a minute then resisted his newly made joke. "Okay, how do you talk to a lost traveler? The answer, in SIGN language!" He cracked up at his own joke.
"Anyone got duct tape?" Cyborg asked, only half joking about it. He felt like taping the two laughing teens to the floor and taping over their mouths.
Starfire merely shook her head at the joke.
Terra merely stared with a blank look at first, blinked at first, but then seconds later cracked up in a fit laughter.
Both Robin and Raven groaned with a sigh of hopelessness about getting the two to stop.
"I think we have some in one of the kitchen drawers," Robin said, clearly… not joking.
Cyborg actually got up and started to the kitchen, humming to himself as he looked through the drawers. He couldn't take much more of the jokes or the laughter. His head was starting to hurt!
Beast Boy stopped for a minute though laughter still echoed in his tone. "Okay, okay, what did-... Cyborg... What are you doing?" He had stopped the next joke to look at the on coming Cyborg.
"Curing the headaches," Cyborg grinned in a slightly evil Cyborg-ish way as he undid the duct tape.
Terra was still laughing, not noticing the duct tape. Or that Cyborg was serious. "No, no," she breathed out. "Keep going with the joke," she laughed out again.
Raven was glaring, still with one hand to her head, rubbing it. This was seriously not how she enjoyed spending her time. Okay, yes, they were her friends and she cared for them…. BUT SHE COULDN'T TAKE THE LAUGHTER ANY LONGER!
Robin looked over at Cyborg, shrugged, then looked away.
"Umm... Terra," Beast Boy no longer was laughing as he poked her shoulder then pointed at Cyborg. Though doubted she would listen, she was too hyped.
Cyborg's grinned widened as he stepped closer, still unrolling the tape slowly in a taunting way.
"Robin... this does not look like a good thing," Starfire said, watching Cyborg and the two 15 year olds.
Terra kept laughing, no longer really at the joke, just because she couldn't stop. When she felt Beast Boy poke her, she looked up. "Dude! Duct tape!" she laughed. She remembered a shirt she'd seen one time that said 'Silence is Golden… BUT DUCT TAPE IS SILVER!' That had cracked her up a good one, and now it made her laugh even harder. Obviously she didn't understand what Cyborg was intending to do with the duct tape.
Robin looked back over his shoulder at the maniac grinning Cyborg, and listened to the uncontrollable laughter of Terra before looking over at her and Beast Boy. He then merely shrugged as he remembered the high pitched shrill laughter of Beast Boy. "They've lived through a lot, they can suffer a little bit of tape," he joked.
Raven looked almost ready to help Cyborg. She figured if the two tried to run she'd find a way to stop them.
Beast Boy gave Terra an 'your helpless...' look right before Cyborg did one quick fancy move and taped over Terra's mouth then Beast Boy's.
"Mm! mude!" Beast Boy muffled, his 'dude' came out a little messed up though.
Cyborg grinned triumphantly then taped Beast Boy's hand's together then got to work on Terra. He grabbed her arm and was dragging her to the wall where he was to tape her.
Beast Boy muffled more words and struggled before realizing, well duh! He can get out of this! Beast Boy grew bigger as he morphed into a gorilla, the tape snapped from his wrists though left red marks.
Terra made a muffled kind of scream when the duct tape was put over her mouth. She immediately stopped laughing and her eyes snapped open. Okay… so she hadn't been expecting that. She made another muffled attempt to talk that sounded a lot like 'Hey!' She dug her heels into the ground as Cyborg dragged her, but it didn't help very much.
Raven listened to the laughter free room as did Robin. "Music to my ears," the Boy Wonder grinned.
"You can say that again," Raven said, glancing over at Beast Boy, Terra, and Cyborg.
Cyborg was able to drag Terra with ease, she was the lightest Titan and he was the biggest. He had a better idea other then taping her to the floor, why not the wall? Cyborg was ready to laugh himself after taping each of Terra's wrists to the wall then taping her torso and legs as well. Her feet just barley touched the ground and Cy had used nearly the whole roll of duct tape. Okay maybe he had gotten a little carried away...
Beast Boy grabbed the tape on his mouth and made a weak attempt to pull it off, though cringed his face and chickened out on the first try.
Terra made more muffled yells that sounded like 'Dude! Not cool! Get me down!' She tried to pull her arms off, but that wasn't working. She couldn't her legs untapped either. Then she realized something and she gave Cyborg a glare. Getting down… was going to hurt. Immediately, she started reaming him off in muffled speech because of the tape of her mouth. It almost sounded as though she was using a few threats, and a bit of cursing too.
Raven looked over and so did Robin. Neither of them did anything though. Just stared, then looked mindlessly back to the television.
As Terra saw this, she glared, saying something along the lines of 'Thanks guys, you're so helpful'.
Now it was Cyborg's turn, he pointed and laughed at the wall hung Terra. "I like our new wall ornament, a little on the dirty side though," he joked in reference to Terra's threats.
"How long are you going to leave her there?" Starfire asked a tint of concern in her tone.
"I dunno, as long as I like." Cyborg grinned then walked back over to the couch and sat down.
Beast Boy made another weak try at the tape over his mouth, anime tears running down the changelings face as he chickened out again.
A vein throbbed on Terra's temple and she immediately started up with the muffled threats and cursing. She just kept going and going, and she would do so until someone got her down!
Raven looked over at Terra a smirk on her face. She could barely make out some of the things she was saying. She looked away again and picked up her book. Maybe she could get a little reading done now.
Robin looked over at Beast Boy. "Need help with that?" he asked with a smirk of his own.
Beast Boy looked at Robin with wide eyes and shook his head no about thirty times. The last thing he wanted was anyone besides maybe Terra or Starfire pulling the tape off his mouth. They would purposely do it really fast and make it sting.
"I could always do it for you," Raven smirked as the duct tape was next second covered in her power as though she was readying to pull it off.
Robin was getting ready to laugh himself. Part of him wondered if Raven really would, or if she was just taunting him.
"MMM! MO MO!" Beast Boy screamed the best he could while flinging his arms in the air.
Cyborg looked over at his green friend and bit back the laugh that wanted to come out, ah sweet friendly revenge.
Starfire cuddled Silkie in her arms while watching the others, not wanting to take part in it really. She was more of the peace maker, but then she didn't think she would be able to stop them at the moment. Besides, it was funny.
"I could pull this off nice and easy, or I could rip it off really fast," Raven taunted, acting like she was getting ready to pull it off. She was still thinking about it. Part of her very strongly wanted to pull it off, while the other part wondered if maybe she should just… let him be… Right now she was leaning toward pulling it off.
Robin looked over, wanting to watch. He thought it was pretty funny either way. Watching Beast Boy fight with himself to pull it off, or watching Raven threaten to rip off. Either way, he got a laugh out of it.
Terra's muffled yells could still be heard as she continued to yell at them. It obviously wasn't working either.
Beast Boy's eyes again started to water till they where big puffy anime eyes. Begging her not to rip it off, he didn't feel safe about others doing it. Some how it always seemed to hurt more.
Raven looked over at Cyborg as if asking if she should rip it off, or give the changeling a break.
Robin just watched, waiting to see what she'd do.
Cyborg shrugged as if saying he didn't care. Like Robin either way had a laugh in the package.
Raven gave Beast Boy a really... really evil smirk. So, she was planning on being mean. She let the black energy fall back for three seconds, and then immediately it was surrounded in her power again and ripped off his mouth. Hard and fast.
Robin cringed at the sound of the tape ripping off. That was gonna hurt.
Beast Boy didn't scream right away, he let the pain process before letting out his high pitched scream then covering his mouth and moaning. "That was wrong... and cruel," He mumbled through his hand covered mouth.
Cyborg grinned at first, then busted out in his own laughter.
Robin started cracking up right when Beast Boy screamed. He couldn't help it!
Raven smirked still. "Oops, slipped. Sorry," she said, sounding not in the least bit sorry.
Terra continued with her muffled yells. They would pay! And they would pay dearly! She became overwhelmed with happiness of her choice in a Valentine's gift for Beast Boy. Oh yeah, they were gonna pay.
Starfire shook her head at her friends sense of humor then put her attention back to the laughing pet silk worm she held.
Beast Boy gave Raven a mock glare then rub his lips and the sore areas around them. "I forgive you," he said with sarcasm.
Terra glared at Raven for doing that. She made another attempt to talk, something like 'HELLO?' as if trying to get their attention. Robin looked over, grinned, and looked back to the TV.
If her mouth hadn't been taped over, she would have sighed. Instead she glared, vein throbbing again.
"I think our little wall flower wants down," Cyborg joked then looked back at the TV, getting a notion Beast Boy was going to save Terra from the evil duct tape.
As thought, Beast Boy shot one more glare at his humored friends then looked over at Terra and resisted a laugh. It was pretty funny to see her stuck up there. "Need help?" He laughed slightly before standing up from where he had plodded himself down and walked over to Terra.
Terra made a very sarcastic mumbling noise, which sounded like 'No, course not, just peachy…' Though she nodded her head 'yes' all the same.
Beast Boy looked over the tape before rubbing the first piece off Terra's arm only to show another lair, oh this could take awhile...
Terra moaned and hung her head. This was not going to be fun… she could already tell.
Beast boy ripped off the next lair, "God Cyborg!" He yelled then ripped yet another lair, but that happened to be the last one. "Now for the next arm!" He declared.
Terra made a pained groaning sound. That hurt… she shook her arms around as though trying to wear the pain off. There was a red mark now. Great.
Raven and Robin both looked over again. Man… this was great! Hilarious!
Beast Boy made hasty rips at Terra's other wrist held in duct tape. Leaving another red mark on it. "In a way... this is sorta funny," He admitted, though didn't know if that was the wisest thing to say to Terra.
Terra made another whining sound, her eyes watering up. Though when she heard Beast Boy she glared and hit him over the head with her hand. Not very hard, just hard enough to let him know this wasn't the time. Sure, maybe she'd think it was funny in a couple weeks. Even tomorrow. But not now.
"Ow!" Beast Boy yelped rubbing his head with his palm before bending over and starting on the tape that covered Terra's legs.
Cyborg laughed when Terra hit Beast Boy, "aww, don't make your gal friend mad." he laughed again. The simple pleasures duct tape could make.
Terra shot Cyborg a look that said he was next. She rubbed her wrists still, stupid tape.
Beast Boy grumbled about Cyborg's teasing as he slowly ripped the tape off of Terra's thin and now red legs. He thought he had it bad because he got it on his mouth? Ha! This girl was covered in duct tape from torso to feet. Though still since it wasn't him stuck to the wall B found it rather funny. His hand ripped the last piece of tape from Terra's first leg then got to work on the next, getting the last few pieces off as fast as possible. Even if she would complain or something about him pulling too hard on the stupid tape he rather get annoyed with then spend all day taking the tape off as if this was surgery.
Terra's lip trembled and she had those big, watery anime eyes from the pain. She whimpered but couldn't really do anything about it. This was torture! She gave Cyborg another glare. He was going to pay! It hadn't pained her wrists too much, seeing as she had a long sleeved shirt, and gloves. …But she wore shorts, and a crop top that showed her stomach. That was a lot of duct tape on her bare skin, and a lot of pain.
As Beast Boy finished her last leg he looked up at Terra's face and felt bad for her. "Your legs are free, did you want me to get the rest off?" he asked while pointing to her torso where the tape covered all her skin. He should have at least gotten a picture though; he doubted this would ever happen again. And no matter how bad he felt for her, there was always some humor in it.
Terra brought a hand up to her mouth. Okay, so she'd been stalling. She very slowly started to pull the tape off her mouth, wincing in pain. She whimpered again, struggling with herself to either rip it off or slowly pull it off. She couldn't do it. She couldn't just rip it off. That would hurt too much. She started talking to him through the tape, not making much sense at first until she started using her own form of sign language. First she pointed to Beast Boy, then to her mouth and made a ripping motion as if to pull the duct tape off.
Beast Boy shrugged then grabbed a lose piece of the tape. "On three okay? One... two-" he never made it to three, instead Beast Boy ripped the duct tape from Terra's mouth right after two.
Terra had nodded her head, making a small whimpering sound. When the tape was pulled off after 'two' it had surprised Terra and she screamed in pain. Her hands slapped themselves over her mouth. "Ow…" was all she said. With one hand rubbing her mouth still, and the other picking at the duct tape, she began to work on getting it off her torso. "Help?" she asked Beast Boy, using only one word because her mouth hurt and she didn't want to talk just yet.
Beast Boy nodded then started ripping the duct tape off Terra, slowly at first then yanking the strap off near the end.
"Having fun?" Cyborg mocked.
"Time of my life," Terra grumbled. "Ow!" she said as she yanked one off at the same time as Beast Boy.
"Sure sounds like it," Raven said without looking over.
Terra looked ready to pounce on her. She actually tried to push herself off the wall but the stupid tape was holding her back. She just wanted down.
Beast Boy helped Terra rip the remaining duct tape straps from her body, when finally done he took a step back and looked her over real quick. "Ow... are you going to be okay?" he tried to keep the laughter out of his tone. Terra's legs and torso where still red from the constant ripping duct tape.
"Eventually," Terra whined rubbing stomach area. She looked… sunburned. She looked over at Beast Boy and rolled her eyes. "Laugh, laugh away. I know you want to," she said in a partially annoyed tone. She looked over at Cyborg, death glaring him.
Robin looked over. "Oh, Terra," he said. "I see you're finally off the wall."
"Can it, bird boy!" Terra snapped.
"No that's okay, I won't-" Beast Boy tried, honestly but, he busted into laughter only seconds later.
Cyborg snickered at Terra, "shame, she made a nice wall decoration."
Starfire walked over to Terra, "Friend, are you in need of anything?" she asked, wanting to help.
Terra glared at Cyborg as if saying he was in for it. She looked back to Starfire. "I'm okay," she assured. "Thanks though." Looking back at Beast Boy, she merely sighed. She couldn't get mad at him. She'd told him it was okay to laugh. She couldn't help but grin at his laughter though.
Raven looked over and raised an eyebrow. She opened her mouth, getting ready to make a smart remark, but Terra cut her off. "Not a word," she said. Raven smirked and looked away again.
The rest of the day was spent messing around. Starfire insisted on making valentine foods. So now the tower smelled like both Tamaranian and Earth foods. Little heart shaped cookies and cakes and even fungus cluttered the few counters in the small kitchen.
Beast Boy and Cyborg were perfectly happy just watching the food be made, turning down most offers to try out any thing they weren't sure of. The fungus stuff just didn't look right to them.
Beast Boy had wrapped Terra's present already and couldn't wait for tomorrow night when he thought about asking her out.
Terra had been helping with the baking, mostly of the cookies because she had no idea how to make Tamaranian foods. She even frosted them, some with red, others with white, and even though she hated the color, a few with pink. "You're my taste tester," she told Beast Boy, holding a cookie out to him.
Robin mostly watched too. He didn't cook very often. Okay, he watched Starfire more then Terra, but that's automatically assumed anyways.
Beast Boy took the cookie then eyed it, "what's in it? Poison? Dirt? Toilet water?" He joked before nibbling the end off.
Starfire pulled out another batch of cookies, some had a tentacle sticking out, but that was perfectly normal!... right?
"Just eat it!" Terra laughed, wanting to just shove it in his mouth. Though she didn't. She couldn't wait for tomorrow. She went back to frosting cookies, pushing her hair out of her face again.
Robin glanced down at the cookies. Somehow… that didn't look healthy. He looked back up at Starfire, then over at the fridge, trying not to stare for too long.
"Fine! But I am going to take my jolly ol time doing it!" Beast Boy joked then kept on nibbling the end of the cookie, though his head was slightly hung as he leaned on the kitchen counter. Beast Boy's green eyes stayed fixed on Terra.
Starfire had glanced at her friends a few times, Robin more then others. She still felt horrible at not getting him something. She had half her mind thinking about it but couldn't find anything he would really like item wise.
Terra set a cookie aside, and started on another one. She frosted it in red, her favorite color, and then looked briefly around at her friends before taking a bite out of it. Hey, she liked cookies too. Hmm… not bad.
Robin glanced at Starfire, and looked away again. Wow… tomorrow should really be… interesting.
"Aww, you snitched a cookie! I'm gonna tell," Beast Boy joked in his most childish voice possible.
Terra laughed and with her other hand, she handed him a second cookie. "Don't tell and you can have all the cookies you want," she joked. She licked the frosting off her fingers and pushed her hair away again.
Beast Boy looked at the cookie as if he was considering it before smiling up at Terra. "Well, okay then." He reached over and grabbed the cookie from Terra though his fingers had collided with her hand. Hey it was valentines, so why not flirt a little?
Terra glanced down at her hand as Beast Boy's fingers his it. She didn't say anything about it, but a small grin went up her face as she turned around to get more powdered sugar for the frosting. Stirring it up, she licked her fingers again, already having more frosting on them. She could feel a big smile go up her face and was glad she had her back to the other Titans. So, she couldn't help but get a little excited about tomorrow. She calmed herself down and came back with the bowl of frosting.
"Oooo, frosting!" Beast Boy chirped again in a childish voice. He stuffed the cookie into his mouth and gulped it down before scanning over the newly frosted cookies for the 'perfect' one.
Cyborg walked past from coming down the stairway. He had been working on some computers to pass the time. "Ooo cookies!" He grinned as he scooped about five up in a handful without stopping.
"Hey! My cookies!" Beast Boy yelled, mostly joking. He was standing here more for the blonde making the cookies other then the pastries themselves.
"Not anymore booger butt," Cyborg said then started eating the cookies about two at a time.
"You guys are such pigs," Raven told the two of them, half joking.
Terra just smiled and continued frosting cookies. She was resisting the urge to just throw a cookie at Cyborg's head. Although, he'd probably just eat it, so why waste another cookie?
Just to be a sarcastic little butt head Beast Boy morphed into a cute little round pig with darker green blotches on his back. The pig formed boy snorted before picking up a cookie with his mouth and gulping it down.
Terra started laughing while black energy surrounded the nearest spatula as Raven glared at him. "You little Jack A-"
"Raven!" Robin said before she could finish. "Put the spatula down," he more of ordered then said.
She reluctantly put it down. "Even better, we'll just make Cyborg some bacon. Fresh bacon. Or we can have pork for dinner," she emphasized the two pieces of meat she had listed.
"Or green eggs and ham," Cyborg laughed as he mocked the old nursery rhyme.
Beast Boy morphed back human quickly, "Heh heh, no need for that..." He said with a guilty grin before snitching another cookie to nibble on.
Starfire covered her mouth and giggled at the joking before frosting a few of her own cookies.
"Didn't think so," Raven said in response to Beast Boy.
Awhile later, all the cookies were baked, all the cookie dough that had survived through the six teenagers and not been eaten was cooked, and the kitchen was a complete mess.
Terra was staring up at the TV, wondering what the heck she was even watching. It was just some TV show she'd never seen before.
Raven was reading, sitting on the far end of the couch.
Starfire was currently in the bath room trying to get all the flour off her face and out of her hair. She was starting to think a shower would be needed. New clothing as well, she looked like some type of cookie ghost with all this flour. Course when Beast Boy tried to 'help' a little bit ago he had splashed the flour all over her, she had him get out of the kitchen after that.
Beast Boy was running around the tower being annoying, too many cookies and now it was his turn for the sugar rush.
"Will you sit down!" Cyborg yelled annoyed.
"No! Cookies! I love cookies! Did anyone know how much I like cookies?" Beast Boy's head rested on the back of the couch as he chattered about cookies.
Terra laughed again. "A little too much?" she joked.
"Look who's talking," Robin said. "Just awhile go you were on your own sugar rush," he reminded.
"Yeah, and I still have the marks to prove it," she half glared at Cyborg as she rubbed her stomach again.
Cyborg only smirked at Terra, He still thought it was funny "Yeah well I'm about to go get some more duct tape if grass stain wont shut up."
"I just LOVE cookies! With chocolate and sugar lots and lots of sugar! And red ones and black ones and green ones and blue ones and yellow ones! I like cookies lots and lots! Like as much as Terra! Cookies taste good with milk and sugar and sugar and milk-" Beast Boy kept on, not taking notice of other things he had said.
Cyborg looked ready to laugh but instead teased, "Aww hear that Terra? He loves cookies as much has you," he laughed then.
Raven and Robin looked at each other, grinned, and then both started cracking up.
Terra averted her gaze to the floor, blushing and trying not to smile. "Oh, put a sock in it!" she told the three Titans, looking back up.
Cyborg laughed some more before watching the TV again, though listening to Beast Boy now. He was gonna get a lot of teasing out of this for sure!
"Cookies are cool in horse shapes and heart shapes and flower shapes and ginger bread men shapes! oooo remember when you made the heart shapes Terra?" Beast Boy shifted his eyes looked at Terra as he talked now. "They were good! I ate lots and lots! I want more! You make good cookies! Have I told you how much I like cookies? I mean they taste so good and yummy! I like the red ones and yellow ones because they remind me of you! Yeah! And the green because they remind me of ME! Ahahahaha!"
Robin and Raven had finally calmed themselves. But when they heard Beast Boy, the once again looked at each other, smiled and then burst into laughter again.
Terra blushed a little when he said why he liked red and yellow ones, but she kinda liked this. Maybe she should make cookies more often…. "Yeah… I remember," she said. That had only been a little while ago… "You don't have to tell me, I saw you eat lots and lots and lots and… lots of cookies," she told him with a little laugh.
"But I want to tell you!" Beast Boy insisted. "I like telling you lots and lots!... Do we have anymore cookies? I'm still hungry."
Cyborg was trying to stiffen his laughter but it failed. He rested his hand on his forehead and laughed some more before looking at his hyper green elf friend. "How about a banana or something?" He laughed then got a idea. "Or meat? With cookies in it?"
"But I don't like meat! Aww! You tried to trick me! Ahaha! I'm smarter then that! Na na!" Beast Boy laughed then stuck his tongue out at Cyborg who only laughed once more.
"There's more in the kitchen," Terra pointed her thumb behind her at the mess of a kitchen.
"I think a banana sounds good for Beast Boy right now," Robin breathed out as he wiped a tear of extreme laughter off his face.
Raven sat up, she'd fallen back on the couch laughing so hard. She didn't laugh like that often, but when she did, it was always funny. "Or anything but sugar," she added.
"A banana! Only monkeys eat those! Do I look like a monkey boy to you!" Beast Boy put his hands on his hips.
"Don't make me answer that," Cyborg laughed once more.
Beast Boy ran over to the messy kitchen and started snooping around the junk to find the cookies, though they where right in front of his face. "I cant find them!... wait got em!" B pulled about five cookies from the tray then skipped over to the others once more.
Raven snickered when he asked about the 'monkey boy'. She had her own opinion on that one.
Robin groaned. "Terra, when he's like this," he started, "don't tell him where the sugar is."
Terra rubbed the back of neck, grinning sheepishly.
"Don't listen to the guy in the mask Terra! I need sugar to live! sugar is my fuel in life! Without it I would shrivel up and DIE!" Beast Boy yelled before eating another cookie.
Robin started laughing again. "You wouldn't die!" he said.
"Yeah, you're more likely… to die if you have too much sugar," Raven said.
"That would not be good," Terra whined.
"Course you said that first," Robin smirked.
"You know what, Bird Brain-" Terra started, but Robin again started laughing at the situation.
Beast Boy looked over at Robin when he started laughing again, He lifted his cookie up and whapped it on Robin's head. "Hey! Don't laugh at her." Beast Boy looked at the broken cookie then was stuck in Robins over filled hair gelled hair. "You made me break my cookie! How could-eth you! The poor cookie died trying to stop your evil laughter, it never had a chance to be eaten!"
"Oh how could you Robin?" Cyborg laughed out loud.
"Ow!" Robin yelped. It had more surprised him then hurt though. He put a hand top his hair. "You got cookie in my hair!" he yelled, swiping the crumbs away.
"Or did you get your hair in his cookie?" Terra asked.
Robin glared at her. "What do you think?" he asked in a sarcastic voice.
"I am this close," Raven held up her hand, index finger and thumb a centimeter apart, "to knocking all three of your guys' heads together!" she informed.
Beast Boy looked over at Raven then laughed, "That sounds fun!"
Starfire came walking into the main room in a clean uniform. Her hair looked like it had just been blow dried, well it had. She had gotten out of the shower a few minutes ago.
Terra laughed a little while Raven looked as though trying not to strangle him.
"Hey Starfire," Robin said, immediately noticing her. Of course he would, though.
Terra opened her mouth to start taunting but was interrupted. "Don't say a word," Robin muttered out of the corner of his mouth. Terra merely smiled and closed her mouth again.
Beast Boy had keen hearing, so he had heard Robin. "A word!" he said with sarcasm then cracked up again.
Cyborg on the other hand was gonna tease. Robin had told Terra not to say anything, not good ol Cy! "Funny how Robin is always first to say hi to Star," he almost laughed.
Starfire heard her robot friend and blushed, though tried to hide it.
Robin continued grinning as nothing had been said and kicked Cyborg in the shin.
Terra laughed at both Beast Boy and Cyborg's comment.
Raven smirked. "You noticed too?" she asked Cyborg.
"Oww!" Cyborg growled under his breath while rubbing his now sore shin. Oh Robin was gonna pay for that in the most hurtful way possible. Teasing!
Beast Boy felt ignored, he wasn't really being ignored but when he was on a sugar rush well... he was in hyper active mode and wanted constant attention. The sugar was bond to wear off soon though. He morphed into a puppy then ran around the couch and put his paws on Terra's legs. His little tail wagged from side to side and his pink tongue hung out in a mock pant.
"Now that's just sick lookin'" Cyborg commented on the puppy with a roll of his eyes.
Terra scratched him behind the ears and petted his head, ignoring Cyborg. Robin nodded his head in agreement and flanked at Starfire, then back to the TV. Raven looked up at Terra and Beast Boy. "What an attention seeker," she said with a roll of her eyes.
"You can say that again," Robin mumbled.
Beast Boy barked his thanks, his voice high pitched in the cute puppy way. He liked attention anytime, and liked Terra's the most.
"I find our puppy friend quite..." Starfire thought for the right word. "Adorable and humorous," she said, still thinking for a better term. Her finger rested on her lips as she thought about the earth words, but why earth? Why not her own? "Or as on my planet we would say, dandora." Starfire took a seat on the couch, squeezing in between Cyborg and Robin. Cy moved over a little for her, smirking of course.
Robin frowned, not saying anything, but looking up at the TV instead.
"Yeah, me too," Terra said to no one's surprise.
Raven looked down at the puppy. "I find him annoying and a pain," she said before looking at Robin. Upon seeing his face, she smirked, hoping Cyborg would see this.
Beast Boy made mock jumps before taking one big leap and landing in Terra's lap. He stuck his tongue out at Raven then looked back up at Terra, now sitting down with his big green eyes looking up at her.
Cyborg looked past Starfire at Robin and smirked as well. "Aww, is Robin jealous?" He almost choked on his laughter then.
Starfire looked slightly confused, but blushed when she got the joke and stole a glance at Robin for a brief moment.
Robin very slowly… slowly turned to look at Cyborg, a death glare on his face and a vein throbbing. It looked like he was having trouble turning his head he was so mad. "Jealous?" he repeated. Then a moment later he laughed a few times. "Jealous, that's a good one! Of what?" he asked, no laughter in his voice all of the sudden.
Terra blocked out the others, ignoring them as near her full attention was focused on Beast Boy at the moment.
Raven smirked. This should be good.
Cyborg ignored Robin's obvious mad attitude and smiled. "That you're not the one that got called adorable."
Starfire's blush darkened; maybe she should have kept her mouth shut...
Robin's glare hardened. He opened his mouth and said two simple words: "Not true," then picked up the remote and started flipping channels. It looked like it 'Movies on TV' night or something. A lot of channels had movies running.
Raven smirked. She could sense things… and she was sensing jealousy.
Starfire stood up from her seat and walked to the bar to sit. Now she felt kinda bad. She had only meant that cute thing in a friendly way, the face worked on her half the time. In reason she found Robin more of the handsome type other then just plain cute.
Cyborg let it drop then turned back to the TV.
Beast Boy played around with Terra, batting at her hand with his paws like a real puppy would. Barking at nothing and always looking up at her with the cutest green puppy eyes he could. But finally he jumped down onto the seat next to Terra (there was just barely room) then morphed human, sitting pretty close.
Terra smiled, of course. She didn't mind having to sit close. Who would?
Robin looked over at Starfire, giving her a questioning look. He looked back at his other friends. "You guys wanna watch a movie?" he asked. "Starfire?" he looked over at her, just incase she hadn't heard.
"What movie?" Raven asked. Of course, she'd probably sit through it anyways.
"WHOO! MOVIE NIGHT!" Beast Boy cheered. "Just no horror movies..." He laughed and gave Raven a joking look.
"Hm? Oh yes! Movie! That sounds most delightful!" Starfire chirped then flew over and hovered behind the couch, "Do you wish for me to get the unhealthy earth candies?"
"Yeah!" Robin said in response to Starfire. This was always fun, sitting on the couch with your five closest friends, pigging out on junk food and pop, watching a movie.
Raven looked over at Beast Boy. She actually didn't lash out at him but grinned a little bit, half guilty, half in a remembering way.
Terra stared. "Uh… why not?" she asked. She didn't get it. Raven didn't seem to be the type bothered by scary movies.
"Yay!" Starfire cheered then darted to the kitchen for the earth junk foods.
Beast Boy turned to look at Terra, looking confused at how anyone could forget that one night. Well duh! She wasn't there. "Oh, last time we all watched Wicked Scary Raven got so scared these monsters came out and hunted us all down in a night. It was totally cool! But not something I think we want to do," he laughed.
"Wicked Scary?" Terra asked, looking over at Raven. "You guys actually watched 'Wicked Scary'?" She wasn't so sure she wanted to watch that movie.
Raven was grinning sheepishly. "I wouldn't admit that I was scared… and so my fear found another way out, as Robin said," she told Terra.
Terra nodded in an understanding way. "So… what movie are we watching then?" she asked.
Robin was still flipping channels. "I dunno, stop me if you see anything worth watching," he told his friends.
Beast Boy and Cyborg watched the TV flip from station to station. Finally Beast Boy found a solution,
"Eeny meeny miny. MO! STOP," He shouted.
Starfire came in with four bowels of popcorn, handing one to Terra for her to share with Beast Boy, one to Cyborg and one to Raven. She handed the last to Robin before resuming her seat next to the boy wonder.
Robin stopped when Beast Boy told him to. The movie was just barely starting. He held the popcorn so it was easy for Starfire to reach too, just incase she wanted some.
"Looks like we're watching 'Titanic'," Raven announced.
"That's always looked like a corny movie to me," Terra said, having never seen it before. "Oh well, I'm cool with this. You guys?" she asked, setting back in her seat.
"Fine with me," Robin shrugged.
"Whatever," Raven said.
"I guess, bet nothing else is gonna be on that's any better this time of year." Cyborg joked before grabbing a handful of popcorn and shoving it in his mouth.
"Dude the movie just started, your like half way done with your popcorn already," Beast Boy looked at Cy with a raised eye brow.
"Movie rule number one, eat the popcorn before the movie," Cyborg joked. Though that happened a lot. The popcorn was usually more to hold you off till the movie got interesting.
Beast Boy shrugged then picked out a yellow piece from the bowl Terra held and popped it in his mouth then sat back in his seat.
Starfire had never heard of this movie, she didn't know it was based on true advents, or else she would have been more excited. But was never the less, she took one or two little popcorn pieces and chewed on them while the movie started.
Robin snacked on a bit of the popcorn, eyes glued to the TV. Though, he kept glancing at Starfire every now and then too.
The couch was still quite crowded, causing her to be sitting really close to Beast Boy, but once again, she didn't care. Raven was taking up a very small amount of room, sitting with her legs and arms crossed, watching the television
Beast Boy was grinning so far, not because of the movie but because of how close he 'had' to sit to Terra. He had heard this movie was supposed to be really sad, but so far saw nothing sad about it. He hadn't read about the Titanic much, wasn't his fault that piece of history wasn't on his cereal box!
Starfire's eyes where also glued to the TV, she was resisting the urge to start asking questions about the humans. Such as their dressing and such. It was hard, but she didn't want to interrupt the movie.
Cyborg yawned and leaned back, watching the figures move on the TV screen.
Terra had sat back, her shoulder leaning against Beast Boy's because it was 'too cramped' on the couch. Though, part of it was her doing just because she wanted to.
Robin had his arms spread out across the back of the couch. He hadn't meant for one of his arm to end up behind Starfire, really he hadn't. Though, when he did realize, he didn't move, just pretended to keep not realizing. There were a few parts of the movie that made Robin get up, saying he needed something such as a glass of water, or a coke which he took longer to get then usual.
Near the end of the near three and half hour movie, Terra's eyes were drooping, and her head kept tilting forward as though she were about to fall asleep. She was enjoying the movie, it was good, corny, but good. It was both sweet and sad. She was just tired. With about half an hour left, she finally couldn't help it anymore and fell asleep, her head falling against beast Boy's shoulder.
Beast Boy watched the movie with wide eyes, every now and then at a romantic scene squealing "Ewwwwwwww". Course that was to be expected from a teenaged guy. He didn't mind the extra weight on his right shoulder, it actually only made him grin and blush slightly. But the lights had been 'hit' and the room was only lit by the giant TV screen so no one could see his red cheeks.
Starfire was in tears, being the emotional type. She found it so sweet and sad that several times she had used Robin's cape to wipe her face from the tears.
Cyborg on the other hand, found the movie needed some 'spice'. He kept doing mouth over the characters. Making them say something goofy or stupid. He found it amusing, even if Starfire (who kept elbowing him in the chest to make him stop) didn't.
Robin didn't mind Starfire using his cape, he thought it was cute. He looked over at her, giving her a sympathetic look. Seeing her cry was never the highlight of his day if she did cry. It didn't happen a lot, but when it did, it always made him feel bad.
Raven found the movie quite sad. She knew it really happened, and that made it worse. She didn't cry or anything though. Movies had never really gotten to her like that… Okay, once, but 'Wicked Scary' didn't count. She'd never cried at a movie, never been scared out of her wits (again 'Wicked Scary' didn't count). She looked over at her friends, seeing Cyborg and Starfire seemed to be 'fighting' in a friendly way. Okay, so the added voices were getting a little annoying. Robin had arms over the back of the couch again; Raven was quick to notice he had one arm behind Starfire, even if he didn't have it around her shoulders or something. She smirked and looked over at Beast Boy and Terra. She raised an eyebrow but said nothing. Terra was obviously comfortable. Raven looked back up at the TV.
As the movie ended Starfire gave one final sniff before the screen blacked out and credits came on as the TV advertised new TV shows and what not.
"That was... most... sad..." She said, finding it the only word to describe it at the moment. She grabbed Robin's cape once more and wipe her face on it, then looked at it before blushing and letting go. "Um.. I am sorry."
It hadn't gotten to Cyborg that bad, and he had been so busy goofin off he hadn't noticed Starfire and Robin. Lucky them. He stretched his arms out, poking Beast Boy in the face and making Starfire duck.
"Dude! You nearly shoved your finger up my nose!" Beast Boy yelped, being pushed against Terra.
Cyborg ignored Beast Boy then looked at Robin's arm that was sitting behind Starfire, now catching at least something he smirked. Robin would suffer teasing once more!
Beast Boy sat up a little, though slowly so Terra's head didn't fall from her shoulder, he didn't mind her head being placed there at all. It was probably starting to get late, so he should probably wake her up so she could go to bed.
"It's okay," Robin said, leaning forward and pulling his arms back. "Guess we shoulda brought tissues," he joked. Sorta. Standing up, he stretched a little. That was a long movie.
Raven stood up. "Well, I'm going to bed," she said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow," she said, then paused. "On Valentine's Day," she added as a way to taunt the four- er three- teens.
Cyborg stood up and yawned before walking over and setting the security system up. "Night y'all!" He gave a lazy wave before heading to bed, thinking up evil teasing things to do on the way.
Starfire stood up as well. She glanced at Terra then at Beast Boy. "Are you going to require help in getting friend Terra to bed?" she asked, half hoping he would say no so she could go to bed herself. But asked to be nice.
Beast Boy shook his head "No thanks, I'll get her." He then yawned himself before shaking Terra's shoulder gently. "Terra-" he stretched the word out. "c'mon, time for bed."
"I'm going to bed too, night," Robin said before heading to the stairs. He was tired.
Terra didn't wake up. She hardly stirred. Her head moved a little bit, but she didn't wake up.
"Good night Robin, pleasant slumbers friends," Starfire told the other two before walking to her room for bed, yawning the whole way.
Beast Boy grinned slightly then shook her again, "Terra, c'mon it's bedie by time." He chuckled slightly.
Robin smiled at Starfire and then headed for his room. He only pulled his boots, belt, and cape off before climbing into bed, placing his mask on his bedside table. He fell asleep almost instantly.
Terra just snuggled her head into the couch as if it were her pillow, mumbling, "Five more minutes," as she curled up in her sleep. It seemed like almost nothing could wake her. She was comfortable and tired.
Beast Boy sighed, though smiling. "Okay fine then..." He stood up and tried once more, shaking her shoulder gently but it didn't work. He looked around, all of his friends had gone to bed, probably all the better. He bent down and slipped his arms under Terra's legs and turned her around as softy as he could. Then slipped his other arm behind her arm. He arched his back and bent his knees then picked her up. She was far from heavy so he was able to stand up straight, he shifted his weight around till her head leaned on his chest and wasn't flopping around. Though blushing slightly Beast Boy started for Terra's room. Holding her tight so she didn't fall. He took the way through the hall other then the steps.
Beast Boy came to Terra's door and had to juggle the blonde in his arms while opening the door, but was able too after a few tries. He looked around once more before walking into the desert painted room and towards Terra's bed. He set her down gently; it probably wasn't comfortable to sleep in boots and gloves. He was so going to smack himself for this, or get major teasing. Just do it! Jeez, not like it's anything 'bad' or anything! Just her boots and gloves... the belt is going to have to stay though. He thought to himself before removing Terra's boots and dropping them on the floor then her gloves.
Terra once again snuggled her head into her pillow, curling up. She must have been seriously tired seeing as she hadn't woken up through the whole trip. For all she knew, she was still sleeping on the couch, head on Beast Boy's shoulder.
Beast Boy watched Terra snuggle up and smiled softy. He grabbed her blanket and covered her up, tucking the sides in. He looked at her once again before planting a soft kiss on the cheek.
Ahh! What did you do! GET OUT OF HER ROOM NOW! Jeez. The little voice in his head yelled. But Beast Boy only smiled then left the room and closed the door gently before jogging off to his own room. He changed into his sleeping boxers and an old white T-shirt then crawled into bed.
