Again; we do not own Teen Titans or anything in this fan fiction you notice (like movie titles foods ect).
CHAPTER 3 Part 1:
The next morning Robin had his alarm clock set for 6:30. He shot up and turned his alarm clock off. Why had he set it so early? He looked around his room, spotting a gift wrapped in Valentine's Day-ish wrapping paper. Oh yeah, that's why. He had a couple early bird teens to beat to the door. Fun. Robin yanked the covers off himself and jumped up. He grabbed a fresh uniform and put his mask on before running to the bathroom. He skidded to a stop outside the door and pushed it open. Throwing his clothes in a pile on the floor, he turned the shower on and took a thirty minute shower. His hair was all flat in his face as he pulled his uniform on. He would have to fix that. He dried his hair as best as he could with a towel and pulled out his comb and gel.
Raven was in her room still, she had just woken up by the time it was 7:00 AM. The first thing she did was sit down to meditate.
Cyborg was cooking breakfast, Beast Boy had gotten up early in attempt to try and get some non dairy waffles made, but gave up within five seconds of his mission. He was sleeping with his head on the bar counter, he had gotten up so early that for one his belt was too lose and sagging off, and his shoes were on the wrong feet. Not to mention he had forgotten his gloves.
Cyborg had made five non dairy waffles for Beast Boy; if he wanted anymore then he would have to make his own.
Starfire yawned, at first not bothering to get out of bed. But the Mumbo alarm clock kept insisting that she got up. So she did, brushing her hair then getting dressed. She covered her mouth as she yawned and walked down the hall.
Robin gelled his hair, trying to get it… perfect. Just like he did almost every other morning. He used his brush and fingers, trying to make the way he liked it. Though one little bit would not cooperate! This was ticking him off. He pushed it back and put more gel there. He removed his hand and waited a couple seconds. HA HA! It stayed! "Prefect," Robin said happily before leaving the bathroom to continue on downstairs and into the kitchen. He had about forty five minutes left before anyone came to the door.
Terra rolled over in her sleep. She was starting to wake up, but didn't want to.
"Mornin' Robin," Cyborg greeted after a quick glance up, then had another friend to greet. "Mornin' Starfire."
"Happy morning wishes friend-" she yawned "-Cyborg."
"Make...sure...we...got...tofu... waffles..." Beast Boy muttered in his sleep.
Robin grinned. "Morning Cyborg." Upon hearing Starfire's name, he looked around. "Hey Starfire," he said with a grin still on his face. He took a seat at the bar and looked over at Beast Boy. "Whoa… Beast Boy… out of bed… before eleven," he said, not really joking. "Is he sick?" okay, that was more of a joke.
Starfire nodded her good morning to Robin, since she was caught in a yawning stage. She took the next seat to Robin and waited for breakfast.
"No, he just wanted to make sure he got his non dairy waffles, no way was I making any of the tofu junk though." Cyborg laughed then dished out the breakfast to the first two up and around.
"I-" yawn "-Thank you" Starfire grabbed her fork which resembled a pitch fork and started digging into her stack of waffles.
"Thanks," Robin said and started eating. He was a bit slow, but he wasn't as hungry as usual. He finished only three waffles and took him near fifteen minutes. He wasn't very hungry today. He pushed his plate away and looked up at the clock. He had about fifteen, twenty minutes left.
Terra rolled over in bed, yawning. Her eyes slowly opened as she looked around tiredly. Whoa… where was she? Oh, her room. Wait… she didn't remember coming up here. The blonde sat up and stretched. All she remembered was falling asleep last night… on Beast Boy's shoulder. Weird… as she wondered how she got up here last night, she stood up to find her boots and gloves on the floor. She blinked. Why couldn't she remember that. She shrugged and pulled the two gloves on and slipped her feet into the gloves. She still had her belt on. Wow… she must have been really tired to not remember. She had marks on her stomach from her belt, which is why she usually took it off. Maybe she shouldn't drink so much cherry coke in one day. Maybe that's what made her tired, all that energy she used up on her sugar-high. The blonde stepped into the hallway a moment later and closed her door behind her before starting off down the hall and down the stairs, and a few minutes later, into the kitchen.
Cyborg looked over at Terra, seeing her walk in he fixed her up a plate. "Yo little rock 'n' roller! Got your grub ready!" He called over at Terra while setting the food on the bar counter.
"Grub...yum..." Beast Boy snored. His plate of waffles was sitting in front of him where Cyborg had placed them.
"Robin, are you feeling of the well? You do not seem to want to enjoy the wonderful fluffy waffles this start of day." Starfire pointed out before gulping down her ninth one.
"Huh?" Robin looked over at Starfire. He'd been staring at the clock. "Oh, no, they were good," he said. "I'm just not feeling very hungry," he added with a shrug.
Terra jumped onto one of the barstools, grinning. She looked over at Beast Boy. "Is he okay?" she asked. He looked a little… dead. If he wasn't talking, Terra might have thought he'd been knocked out or something.
"Yeah he's fine! I just whapped him over the head with the frying pan to shut him up," joked Cyborg. "Really, he's fine. Just got up too early, well for him anyways." he laughed.
"Too...early..." Beast Boy agreed, only half asleep now.
"Oh," Starfire said simply before devouring five more waffles.
Terra laughed a little bit before starting on her waffles. She ate around five of them in the course of ten minutes. That was good enough for her. She pushed the plate away, wiping her mouth off. Jumping up from her seat, she made her way into the kitchen to get a glass of orange juice.
Raven came down the stairs, looking around a little. Her friends' voices could be heard from the kitchen, so that's where she started to. She walked in as Terra sat back down with a glass of juice. Raven looked over at Starfire who she remembered decorated yesterday. Raven had come out of her room this morning to find multiple pink flowers taped to her door. She must have been so tired last night she hadn't noticed. Or had her eyes closed in a long yawn.
"Hey Rae," Terra said before taking a gulp of juice.
"Morning Raven," Robin said, tearing his gaze from the clock.
"How many waffles today?" Cyborg asked Raven as she came in, after she was served he would finally eat.
"I greet you good morning Raven!" Starfire chirped, in a good mood for today was the day of valentines!
"Morning... Rea..." Beast Boy mumbled, becoming more awake but still more then half asleep. His hand waved in the air for a lazy wave then landed in his waffles.
"Speak for yourself," Raven responded to Starfire. Pink hearts on her door was not the start of a good morning. But, oh well. She figured today would be a hilarious day in Titans Tower. Just then the door bell rang and Robin shot up, looking over at the clock. And now the hilariousness would begin. "I'll have two waffles," Raven said.
Cyborg raised his eye brow at Robin's sudden jolt up at the door and smirked. "I got it!" he yelled before making a mad run for the door and opening it, then raising his eye brow "umm... Hi?"
"Go... fetch the door... Cyborg..." Beast Boy mumbled.
Robin glared at Cyborg and bolted after him, nearly shoving him out of the doorway.
A guy was standing there with a box of candy and flowers- Robin's order from yesterday. "Uh…" he gave the two a funny look as Robin attempted to shove Cyborg out of the way. "I have an order… thing," he said.
Cyborg stumbled and balanced on one foot then regained his footing and gave Robin the funny looks as well. "Mm hm, gee can't think who those are for," he laughed then walked back towards the kitchen.
Starfire held her plate up, "More please!"
"Comin' up Star," Cyborg said.
"I don't know," the guy said. "I was told that some guy named Robin wanted them here at 8:00," he added.
"Yeah, that's wonderful, I'm Robin, I'll sign whatever needs to be signed and- Cyborg! Go give Starfire her waffles!" he snapped as he attempted to push him away again.
Terra looked over, straining to see who was at the door but couldn't. She took another gulp of orange juice.
Cyborg was laughing to himself and snickering, oh the fun he would have. "Don't need to snap bird boy!" he snapped then dished out some more waffles to Starfire. Who seemed to not care who was at the door other then filling her nine stomachs.
"Is it time to eat yet?" BB muttered and moved his head to the side so his forehead was leaning on the end of the bar counter. Though it was red from having the pressure for so long.
"It's been time to eat sleepy," Cyborg informed.
"Oh good," Beast Boys mouth gaped open for a minute then closed again. Making slimy sounds as he moved his slobber around in his mouth from just waking up.
Terra was trying not to laugh at the sleepy teen. "Did you sleep well?" she asked. It didn't look like he had, but then again he had woken up early.
Robin took the clipboard from the guy at the door and he gave Robin the stuff he'd ordered yesterday. He signed it off with his signature and the guy said thanks, and left. Robin sighed and quietly closed the door before literally running upstairs, down the couple hallways and into his room. Walking over to his bed, he set the candy and flowers on the bed next to the gift he planned to give to Starfire later… if he didn't chicken out. Flipping the light switch off as he left his room, he let the door close and walked back down the hallways and stairs, and into the kitchen again.
"Sleep? Oh yeah! I-" yawn "- slept okay..." Beast Boy yawned once more then sat on in his seat, and found his hand in the waffles in front of him. "Dude..." he whined, shaking his glove up and down to get the splattered waffle off.
Cyborg looked over at Robin with a teasing grin going from ear to ear.
Terra laughed a little bit again.
Robin shook his head at Cyborg as if saying he better keep quiet. I swear if you doesn't say a word, Robin thought, I'll get you into the all you can eat meat buffet for free, he pleaded as if Cyborg could read minds, which right now he was wishing he could.
Raven finished her three waffles and pushed her plate away.
Beast Boy finally got the waffle off of his hand then licked the few remaining crumbs. He then grabbed his green fork (HIS FORK! no one else dare touch it!) and started eating the non dairy waffles. "So, how was your morning?" he asked Terra, taking a side glance at her.
Cyborg looked as if he was truly trying to stay quiet; it was taking every ounce of straight he had not to start teasing. Just wait till today's over, don't want to ruin Robin's gift... as much fun as it would be to tease him... he thought.
"Fine so far," Terra said. "A little confusing when I first woke up, but I'm fine now," she added in reference to her not remembering earlier. In about three gulps she finished up her orange juice and set the glass on the counter next to her plate.
Robin sat back down in his seat, still pleading for Cyborg to not say anything.
Beast Boy nodded, not wanting to ask why she was confused he knew why. And would have found the explanation embarrassing in front of all the others.
Cyborg on the other hand needed someone to tease, so he took on the youngest 'couple'. "Oh really? Why? Were you confused I mean" Cyborg asked Terra, having a good idea why.
Terra half shrugged. "Nothing much, just didn't remember how I got to my room last night," she laughed a little bit. "Guess I was more tired then I thought." She tried to get more juice out of her glass before jumping up to get more.
Raven got up and moved into the kitchen. She pulled a tea packet down from the cupboard and made herself some tea. It sounded good to her.
Robin was really only half listening to the conversation going on. He was thinking about other things. About Starfire to be honest.
"Yeah, you were out before the movie ended," Cyborg laughed.
Beast Boy was giving Cyborg a look that begged him to drop the conversation.
It was ignored, "I remember BB tryin' to get you up before I went to bed. Say B, did she ever wake up?"
Beast Boy snorted then mumbled something under his breath. "Why?"
"Because we are nosy teens," Cyborg laughed then dished his own breakfast up at last.
"No." Beast Boy said simply then stuffed his mouth full with pancakes, hoping Cyborg would drop it, he didn't.
"So how did Terra get in bed?" he asked.
"That explains why I was so lost this morning," Terra said, seeming to have no interest in the fact that she was somehow 'magically' placed in bed. Just happy she knew why she was so confused. She poured herself yet another glass of orange juice.
Robin looked over at Beast Boy as if asking the same question Cyborg did while Raven smirked at Beast Boy.
Starfire seemed to have no interest in the conversation, or not as much as the others as she fed her pet worm left overs.
Beast Boy's eyes darted from Robin to Raven to Cyborg. "Dude! You guys are nosy! Man..." he sighed then swallowed another bite of his waffle.
"Well?" Cyborg questioned.
Beast Boy made an annoyed type of growl then told them the answer to the question they wanted to know so bad. "Okay I carried her, happy! God..." he took another bite of food.
Robin and Raven both looked at each other again, exchanging smirks before snickering.
Terra looked over at Beast Boy a questioning look on her face, but then she smiled. "You did?" she asked. "That was nice of you," she said still smiling. She would have said 'sweet' if people weren't everywhere. She'd rather sleep in her room then on the couch anyways.
Robin and Raven both gave Terra looks as if saying 'you're no fun' before pulling their attention off the subject. Raven poured herself a cup of tea while Robin turned to look at Starfire.
Beast Boy was about to shoot the two snickering teens an annoyed glare, but heard Terra and couldn't help smile back up at her. He changed his smile into a flirty type of face with the cocked eye brow and toothy grin.
Cyborg made gagging noises causing Beast Boy to snap out of his little smiley phase.
Terra looked away again as she took another sip of orange juice. Robin finally snapped out of staring and looked over at his other friends. Raven was smirking at him again, having caught him staring. The boy wonder glared at her and she smiled in an 'innocent' way.
Beast Boy looked down at the few pieces left of his waffles; he scooped them up on his fork and stuffed the rest in his mouth then chewed it down.
Cyborg was resisting the teasing of Robin, man this was torture. He stuffed down the rest of his food then set his plate in the water and soap filled sink.
"Cyborg! Take my plate! Please" Beast Boy held his plate up for the taking.
"Man, you get off your butt and take your own plate to the sink. I ain't your maid." Cyborg protested.
"But you're already up!"
"So what? You can get up just as fast."
"But-"
"You could have had it done by now," Cyborg almost laughed.
A black aura surrounded Raven's plate and drifted over to the sink and set itself on top of Cyborg's plate. As she did this, Raven leaned back slightly in her seat as if teasing Beast Boy without saying a word.
Terra got up to take her plate to the sink as Robin did the same.
Around an hour after breakfast was over, Robin was sitting on the couch, flipping channels. He'd so far been a nervous wreck around Starfire and had decided on keeping his mouth shut unless she spoke to him.
Raven was reading though keeping an eye out for… flirters. She thought it would be fun to taunt them about it.
Terra was still sitting at the bar, spinning around in her chair for fun.
Starfire had been pacing her room most of the time. Her finger pressed tightly to her lips as she thought. She still had no gift, and the more she thought about it the worse she felt. But couldn't find anything else to think about really.
Cyborg was watching the TV, though pretty much doing the same as Raven and looking around every now and then in hopes of catching a flirt or two.
Beast Boy was on the stool next to Terra's. He had been sipping on his root beer can for the last 15 minutes. Though watching the blonde goof around on the stool he was thinking about the presents he got her, he should probably go wrap them. And what about asking her out? He pushed his worries away and brought the can to his lips and sipped the pop once more, though keeping the can there to hide his smile at Terra. Or making a weak attempt too.
Terra continued spinning a little. The only sounds heard were that of the TV, Beast Boy sipping on the root beer, and the sound of the stool swiveling around. "It's too quiet in here!" Terra finally blurted.
"Just the way I like it," Raven said.
Terra sighed in an annoyed way and looked around. Way too quiet… this room needed noise…
Beast Boy looked around, Terra was right. "I'll fix that, SILKIE!" Beast Boy whistled.
The little Silk worm came plodding over and jumped up and down like a puppy.
"Good boy," Beast Boy laughed and petted the worm on the head before pointing to the back of Cyborg's head, "go get em boy!"
The worm hummed in understanding, he had always thought Cyborg tasted good. He took a couple leaps before landing on Cyborg's head.
"AHHHH!" Cyborg screamed as he jumped up. "Get it off me! Get is off me!" he yelled then started running around with Silkie on his head.
Robin looked over at Cyborg and started laughing.
Raven looked up from her book and sighed in annoyance. Right when you think you've got yourself peace and quiet, a mutated worm has to ruin it for you.
Terra stared for a moment, blinking a few times before immediately cracking up. "Did you see his face?" she laughed out. She leaned over, cracking up, until she eventually fell off the stool laughing so hard.
Silkie fell down to he was hanging on Cyborg's leg, though now chomping down.
"OW! YOU LITTLE MUTAINT PAIN IN MY BUTT!" He started shaking his leg while jumping on the other. "Eat this leg and I am gonna be shoving the other one up your-" He was cut off by Silkie chomping down even harder. "Owww!"
Beast Boy held his sides and started laughing his brains out. One hand started pounding on the counter in his laughter.
Terra was holding her sides, lying on the floor, laughing. She couldn't breath she was laughing so hard! This was priceless! Where was the camera when you needed it!
Raven rolled her eyes at the Titans as Robin's laughter died down enough for him to watch the scene with a grin on his face.
Starfire heard the commotion and came to the main room and eyed the scene then gasped. "Silkie!" she flew over and snatched the worm from Cyborg. "Why did you do such a naughty thing?" she questioned the sulking worm.
Cyborg sat down on the couch, limping slightly though okay. He was fine, lucky Silkie's sharp teeth hadn't pierced the thick metal.
Beast Boy was still laughing though as he leaned in his seat, threatening to fall down. Though about half a minute later he did fall and unlucky for both Terra and himself he landed right on her. "oof!" he grunted.
Terra's laughter was interrupted by a yelp of surprise and a little bit of pain at first. That had hurt a little. She had jammed her eyes shut upon the impact of Beast Boy falling, though opened them again. It finally reached her mind what had happened, that Beast Boy had fallen on her, and she blushed, though made no attempt to move. Well... she kinda couldn't.
Beast Boy mumbled something before opening his eyes and blushing as well. "Oh um... sorry..." He grinned sheepishly. Though not moving from his spot till he heard a laugh/cough from Cyborg and had a feeling they where being watched. He sat up then pushed himself from the floor; still blushing he held his hand down to help Terra up.
Terra looked over at Cyborg as he laughed and her blush deepened. She could swear she could feel her face burning. Her gaze made its way back to Beast Boy. She glanced at his hand before looking back up at him and taking it.
Raven was feeling a little mean… so… "Sometimes I wonder if things like that were intentional," she said to Beast Boy with an evil grin on her face.
Beast Boy smiled at Terra as he lifted her up from the floor, then let go of her hand. He tried to ignore Raven's little comment but found it too hard. "Oh yeah, I just love falling out of my seat and hurting myself in the process, loads of fun." He said sarcastically though Cyborg was snickering at the two teens.
Terra brushed herself off, attempting to ignore the others.
"I'm positive you do," Raven said in her monotone voice as Robin broke into laughter again.
"Shut up," Terra more of mumbled as she continued to blush.
"I am now ignoring you," Beast Boy informed them as he looked down at the floor to hide the blush. He also brushed himself off so he had a reason to keep looking down and giving his face time to cool off.
Cyborg snickered one last time then looked back at the TV and yawned, maybe he had gotten up to early.
Terra had her head bowed slightly out of embarrassment. She looked up, only moving her eyes. Seeing the other Titans had torn their attention away, she lifter her head again and looked over at Beast Boy. She couldn't help but smile a little bit.
Robin looked around again. "Where's Starfire?" he asked. He hadn't seen her for awhile.
Beast Boy kept brushing his pants off even when no dust was visible, he had glanced up at Terra and caught her small smile, and repaid it with his own.
"I am here," Starfire said, she had been sitting on the corner couch with Silkie who was now sleeping in her arms. "I have been trying to get pet Silkie to slumber,"
"Oh, I was wondering why you were so quiet," Robin said before once again flipping the channel. "Here," he passed the remote to Cyborg. He was tired of flipping channels.
Terra rolled her eyes before muttering, "And he makes fun of us?"
Beast Boy chuckled at Terra.
Starfire smiled at Robin then looked down at the sleeping Silkie before standing up and walking to the wicker basket that usually held the little monster. She laid him down gently then sat on the couch.
"Whoo!" Cyborg cheered as he grabbed the remote and started flipping till he came to a show that involved a car chase, ha! That was good enough.
A few hours later and after lunch (waffles and cookies!) Cyborg had fallen asleep watching the countless movies that involved car chases.
Beast Boy was shifting around in his seat, it would be dark soon. So he was nervous about asking Terra out, he didn't want to make it too late or anything. But still he kept putting it off.
Terra glanced over at the sleeping Cyborg. She was longing to give Beast Boy his gift now and start on countless destructive pranks. She jumped up and went into the kitchen, pulling a cherry coke out of the fridge. "Anyone want something to drink?" she asked her friends.
"I'm fine," Raven said, once again reading.
Terra shrugged as Robin shook his head no.
"No thank you," Starfire said as she became more interested in this movie.
Beast Boy took a few quick glances at Terra, the others seemed to be interested in other things then teasing. He turned around in his seat and smiled a few moments before speaking up. "Hey Terra, do you um, have a moment?"
"Uh, yeah," Terra said, setting her coke down on the counter and letting the fridge close itself. She walked over to him, thought passed by him and out of the room.
Beast Boy hoped down from his seat and fallowed closely behind, though smiling he was fighting not to start stuttering with his words again. It was hard around Terra. Beast Boy looked over his shoulder as the automatic door to the hall way shut behind them; he stopped walking and faced Terra, grinning nervously as he played with his fingers.
Terra held one arm with her other hand, glancing around a little. "So…" she said after a moment of silence. She smiled, really having nothing to say. Well, she had a lot to say, she was just too chicken to say it.
Robin looked over at Starfire. The room was near empty. Cyborg was sleeping… Raven was reading. No… not a good time. Later. He would ask her later… give her gift to her later. Maybe… ask her to... go… to go ou-… hang out later, he couldn't bring himself to say 'as her out'. He sighed and looked away. This was all harder then her thought.
Beast Boy was smiling nervously, "Yeah so um... I was wondering if you weren't planning anything tonight, maybe you uuummmm... erm..." He looked away at the wall before taking in a deep breath and looking back at Terra. Though finding it hard to keep eye contact with her and hung his head. "Wanted to go out tonight maybe if that's okay... With me I mean..." his face started turning red as he held his hands behind his back and kicked at the floor with his toe.
Terra listened to him, a grin on her face. He seemed… nervous. When he asked her out, her face broke into a full smile. "Yeah!" she blurted out happily. "Well, you know I mean, that'd be great! I'd love to," she declared.
Beast Boy's head shot up and his smile brightened, "Really! Awesome!" He pulled his hands out from behind his back. He thought if now was a good time to go ahead and give her the presents. This was the first valentine he had ever had with someone he like liked. So was kinda lost on what to do when to do it. "Um, I got you something, if you want it now..." he started, his face stayed painted red.
Terra blushed a little. "I kinda… got you… something too," she half mumbled. She'd never done this before. She was more the Tomboy type, she had always hung out with the boys more then the girls back in Markovia. Or, tried at least. She was more then once not allowed to do so because of something she had to learn and because it wasn't considered… proper or whatever. But back then, the boys she tried to hang out with more just friends, not anyone she like liked. Then when she ran away… well, that's pretty self explanatory. There wasn't anyone around for her to celebrate with, so she'd just kinda ignored the holiday. When she had been running away… she'd never liked any kind of holiday. She never had anyone to celebrate with. But… now was different. She had the Titans to celebrate holidays with, and Beast Boy to celebrate Valentine's Day with.
"You didn't have too," Beast Boy laughed slightly. Though he knew Terra wouldn't let him get her something on a holiday unless she could get him something. He liked that about her, how she wasn't selfish. He often had to fight with Terra just to let her let him pay for something. He found it funny when they argued over who was paying, both insisting they do it. "C'mon! I gotta give you my gift first. If I have to wait any longer I am going to roll over dead," he joked before grabbing her wrist. Beast Boy jolted forward and spun Terra around as he did so since she was facing the opposite way. They came to his room a minute or two later.
"Okay waits here! I doubt you could move in my room, only one person at a time," he only half joked before letting go of Terra's hand and walking into his room.
The wrapped CD and the heart shaped box of candy, he smiled and snatched them up and hoped he had gotten the right stuff.
Terra rolled her eyes when he said she didn't have to get him anything. Yeah, she did. It didn't feel right getting gifts from people and not giving one back. It made her feel bad. Terra laughed when Beast Boy grabbed her wrist and she followed him to his room. She couldn't wait to give him his gift either… but a couple more minutes wouldn't kill her… maybe. "Okay," she said as he walked in his room. She wanted to give him his gift now… but it would have to wait. She was born with patience! ...Right? Ha... Yeah, right.
Beast Boy scurried out of his room, tripping on something and doing some kinda of juggling act to keep from dropping the CD. I really should pick up a little bit ... Na maybe later... WAY later He thought before leaving his room with the two items behind his back. He thought he would tease Terra. "Guess," he laughed.
Terra's smile was replaced by a joking-hurt and disbelieving look. "You have gotta be kidding me," she stated, her grin coming back up her face as she did so. "Aw c'mon, just tell me! Or... let me see!" she begged giving him a pouty look.
"Aww, you're no fun!" Beast Boy laughed before pulling the two items out from behind his back. The pouty face would work on anything; she had the power of the pouty face.
Terra laughed. "Gee thanks," she joked. She looked at the silver, heart-shaped box of candy and smiled. It reminded her of the first gift he'd given her. When he had asked her out for the first time. She still had it; she'd more then likely always have it. Forever. She looked over the wrapped item. She ripped the paper off to find a CD, a 'Monster Ballads' CD. Her smile got even bigger. "I love it!" she said happily, turning the CD over to read the back. She had an overwhelming urge to hug him. She found herself nervous to do it though. Man, the things a single day did to a person. She looked up at him. "I have to give you yours now!" she said excitedly.
Beast Boy watched her open the CD, he smiled when she said she had 'loved' it.
Yay! We did it! We got her something she didn't hate! Yay for us! Lets par-ty! The little voice in his head yelled with joy. In another one of those cherbie scenes Beast Boy's little self could be seen doing the victory/disco dance.
"Well..." Beast Boy sighed as if he didn't want his gift. "Fine, I guess I will take it. Though you really don't have to give me anything," He couldn't help but laugh. As long as you're still around, that's enough for me he thought with a smile.
"Yes I do," Terra said before grabbing his wrist and pulling him off to her room. "Trust me," as they came to her room and she pushed the door open. "You'll love it," she promised. "C'mon," she said pulling him in and letting go as she walked over to where she had left the… poorly wrapped gift. "Heh… I'm not the best with wrapping paper," she said coming back to him and handing it to him.
Beast Boy pulled slightly at his wrist when she dragged him along, though he did want a gift, he had to act like he didn't, why? To be a pain duh.
He couldn't help but smile as he took the gift into his hands. He looked over it then up at Terra. "Don't fret over it, remember my first wrap job?" he laughed before yanking the paper off. His eyes got bigger then tire wheels and looked like they where starting to water up. "No... freaking...way..." he gasped.
Terra grinned sheepishly. "I almost had to... uh… by myself one," she admitted with a laugh. "You don't know how many times I wanted to whip out yesterday for… revenge on a certain few Titans," she half joked. Mainly meaning Raven and Cyborg, though Robin had been a pain too. She wondered if he liked it, hoping she had gotten the right thing.
Beast Boy looked up at Terra and smiled once more. "Don't worry; I need help pranking them to make up for all the teasing. You're gonna be using this puppy as much as I am!" he laughed before wrapping his arm around Terra's shoulder in a half hug. "Thanks Terra, this thing rocks." He turned his head so he was looking at her with the largest smile known to man kind.
"I'm glad you like it," Terra said with a smile nearing equal to his, turning her head to look at him as well. "I thought you would," she told him. "Oh yeah," she added. "There's also a gift card for refills when you run out of stuff." Not being sure if he'd seen that, she decided on just telling him. She didn't know what to say anymore, so she just kept on smiling, not being able to stop very easily.
"No way, that's awesome!" Beast Boy almost jumped up with joy. "Makes my gift to youlook like it came from the toilet," he joked. His smile almost got bigger; well it didn't for one reason. It couldn't. His eyes ran over Terra's face. Starting with her chin then working their way up. But like it happened so often they stopped at her eyes. His head leaned a little closer to hers, asking for a kiss.
Though he got no further, Silkie came running (crawling?) in with Cyborg's cooking utensil in his mouth. Jumping into Beast Boy as if thinking the green teen would catch him. Well Beast Boy was taken by total surprise and was thrown back when the worm crashed into his chest. (That thing sure can jump for having stubby little legs XD).
"Ahhh!... Silkie?" Beast Boy asked in a half annoyed tone, though the worm only hummed.
Terra's smile had gotten bigger and she had barely moved before the worm jumped into Beast Boy. "Huh?" she was caught by surprise at first but then realized it was only Silkie. She laughed a little, not as much as she usually would have, seeing as how Silkie had had such horrible timing.
The worm that was perched on Beast Boy's chest nibbled on the handle of the spatula as he hummed.
"Where is that little monster!" Cyborg yelled from the hall way.
"I should turn you in you little butt head," Beast Boy joked as he sat up straight so that Silkie slid down to his lap. He looked over at Terra's door way then up at Terra. "Can I hide Silkie in here for a minute?" he asked with a grin. Even if Silkie did just ruin that little moment there, he didn't want his pet to become bug juice.
"Yeah," Terra said, holding her hand down to Beast Boy to help him up. The day wasn't over, they'd have another chance. Right? She hoped so.
Beast Boy set his present down as if it was glass then tucked Silkie under his arm before grabbing Terra's hand and letting her help him up.
"Silkie! where are you!" Cyborg yelled as he made his way through the halls. "I saw you come down this way you little pain!"
Beast Boy looked around before jogging to Terra's bed. He stuffed the worm behind her pillow. "Don't worry, I'll clean up any drool," BB laughed. "Thanks Terra." he looked at the door as Cyborg came in.
"Any of you seen Silkie?" Cyborg asked.
Terra shook her head. "Nope, nowhere. Do you hear any yells of anger, or annoyance?" she joked. Though, Cyborg was really the only one Silkie really annoyed. "Why what did he do?" she asked.
Beast Boy nodded his head agreeing with Terra as he slowly scooted away from the bed.
"He took my spatula! I need to make the meat filled pancakes!" Cyborg whined.
Beast Boy cringed at the meat part. Note to self, thank Silkie later.
"If you see the little monster let me know," Cyborg grumbled then left the room. Not seeming to feel up to teasing why Beast Boy was in Terra's room right now. That could wait, meat came first!
Terra sighed a sigh of relief. That was close. Though on the plus side he hadn't teased them. That was good. She looked over at Beast Boy again. "Meat filled pancakes?" she asked. "That's a new one." She'd never heard of those before.
Beast Boy listened to Cyborg's heavy foot steps to fade away until he uncovered Silkie from the pile of pillows. He looked over at Terra as he un-dug his pet. "Not really, he tried them once. He was the only one who ate them too," he laughed.
Silkie popped up from the purple yellow and red pillows with the spatula still locked in his teeth.
Terra laughed a little. "Well, they don't sound too great, but I'd try it," she informed him. She almost sure he already knew that, Terra would try anything once. If she didn't like it, she'd more then likely never try it again.
Raven had moved to her room to meditate more while Robin was on the couch again. He had gone back to flipping channels. Almost nothing was on though.
Beast Boy laughed, "Figured you would." He again tucked Silkie under his arm then walked over to where he had set his pranking kit. He grabbed it with his spare hand and looked over it real quick before turning back to Terra. "I'm gonna go see what this puppy can do, thanks again Terra." He smiled at her before dashing towards his room, with Silkie (still chewing on the spatula) under his arm.
Starfire was watching the TV channels change about every three seconds. Her chin rested in her hands that rested on her knees.
Terra smiled as he left. She followed him to the door and after watching him till he was gone, closed the door. She returned to her bed, falling over on it to stare at her ceiling. She was really only thinking about Beast Boy right now. He was so perfect. So sweet. And funny… and cute. She smiled to herself still.
Robin looked over out the window. It was a nice day. He was about to look away when he saw Starfire's reflection in the glass. A small grin went up his face as he stared at the reflection. She was beautiful. Everything about her.
Beast Boy closed his door after he walked into his room, he set Silkie down though his eyes stayed glued to the packaged he was reading over. But Terra's best gift in his mind was agreeing to go out with him. He smiled at the thought, and couldn't wait till it was finally night.
Beast Boy walked to his bed where he sat down and opened the package and rumaged through the pranking tools. Laughing gas, burping gas, farting gas.. and... TEAR GAS! awesome-ness! fake dog poop, ha! If he could sneak that into Cyborg's meat... it would be to die for. He was hoping he got Terra what she really wanted, he was always afraid anything he got her wouldn't be good enough, but then in his mind nothing would ever be good enough for her.
Starfire sighed quietly, thinking about her present crises. How was she going to admit that she hadn't gotten Robin anything? It would be hard.
Terra reached over to where she'd set the gift Beast Boy had gotten her on her bed. She read over all the songs and opened the CD from the plastic wrap. Standing up, she walked over to her stereo and hit power. She pushed the open/close button and the tray for the six CD change opened up. Terra gently placed the disk into the open spot and closed it again. A few seconds later after it had loaded, the CD started playing.
Robin looked over at Starfire. He was still nervous beyond words at giving her a gift for today. Right now was probably best though. No one was around to make fun of them. "So…" Robin started, wondering what to say. "Uhh… you have anything planned to do today?" he asked.
Starfire snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Robin with her chin slightly rising. "Oh, no I do not..." she trailed off, looking at Robin with asking eyes.
Robin nodded his head. Okay… that's a start… so… ask her. To like... hang out or something, a voice in Robin's head told him. The Boy Wonder opened his mouth as if to talk again, but found he couldn't, so ended up faking a yawn. This is going to be harder then I thought, the voice said to him.
Starfire's head stayed turned to Robin though her eyes shifted to the side for a moment as if saying she was waiting.
Robin stood up. "I'll be right back," he said. He left the room and to the staircase which he walked up, and then down the hall, going to his room. His eyes darted around as if looking for someone, but he didn't see anyone at all. Letting his door slide open, he stepped in. He was nervous already. Picking up the flowers, candy, and the main gift, he left the room again only to end up walking down the halls again, and to the staircase where he stopped. His back leaned against the wall. Man… why was this so hard for him? He sighed, readying himself to go back in the main room.
Starfire nodded her head at Robin then turned it back to the TV screen and yawned quietly.
Robin sighed again, closing his eyes before pushing himself off the wall and going back to the living room. He walked in farther, a bit hesitantly until he came to a stop behind the couch. He opened his mouth to say something, anything, and silently cursed himself. SAY SOMETHING! ANYTHING YOU TWIT! He yelled at himself. After taking in a deep breath and letting it out, he said, "I- I uh… kinda got- um…. Here." He handed her the gifts he had gotten for her, blushing nervously and embarrassedly.
Starfire turned around then looked at the gifts then up at Robin. She felt guilty, even more so then before. Star stood up from her seat and smiled as she took the gifts in her hands. "I-" she found a little loss of words. "I fear I was not able to locate gifts for you though..." she sounded slightly ashamed.
Robin smiled, then actually laughed a little. "It's okay," he said. "I've always been told I was hard to shop for." His eyes scanned over her face and long red hair. "Half the time I can't find anything for me either," he added. It wasn't really a joke. He never often found himself anything to buy just for the heck of it, or because he wanted it.
Starfire looked a little on the confused side when he laughed, but soon smiled once more when he didn't seem upset. Still, she felt that Robin had to get something! She looked down at the gifts once more then back up at Robin. There was only one thing she could think of, Starfire set the items on the couch then floated over to Robin and hugged him. Not tight, she didn't want to kill the poor boy! "Thank you."
Robin looked truly shocked and surprised at the hug… He looked as though he might faint. He smiled though, kind of a nervous, shy smile as his face heated up slightly in a light blush. He placed his hands on her waist in a kind of half hug, but still a hug. "You're welcome," he said. He was considering asking her out… thinking about it…
Starfire had a red stream of blush going over her cheeks, and didn't feel quite so bad about the whole gift thing.
Cyborg walked in grumbling about Silkie, he looked up at saw Robin and Starfire before smirking. "Ahem, sorry to interrupt the moment," he had to fight to keep the laughter out of his voice.
Starfire's eyes shot open and her blush deepened, "F-friend Cyborg!" she exclaimed as she pushed away out of the hug.
Robin immediately removed his hands, letting them fall to his sides, as he looked away from both Starfire and Cyborg, and to the ground. He cleared his throat as his light pink blush was replaced by a bright red one. "Uhh… Hey Cyborg," Robin said as if nothing had happened, though that didn't work so well seeing as you could hear the embarrassment in his voice.
Cyborg couldn't help a snicker, whoo hoo! Wait till he told Raven, they would have another field day of teasing. And what about Terra and Beast Boy? Teasing was so much fun.
"I-um-I" Starfire stuttered as she shifted her eyes around. "Must... go... clean my room! Yes that is it!" she gathered her gifts in her arms and shot Robin a warm smile before floating off to her room.
Cyborg watched Starfire go before looking back at Robin, "Good job. You actually did it." He didn't sound as if he was teasing that time.
Robin watched Starfire go, smiling back to her. He couldn't help it! Her smile could make him melt sometimes… get all… jelly legged. Sometimes she didn't even need to smile. Just the sparkle in her eyes could do the same thing! "Huh?" he snapped back to reality, tearing his gaze away. He grinned a little. "Yeah," he said with a slightly nervous laugh.
Cyborg grinned, then let the subject drop.
Beast Boy walked into the main room, "hey guys!" he greeted as he walked to the fridge and pulled out a soda can.
"Yo BB, grab me one of those will ya?" Cyborg asked as he made his way to the couch.
"Suuuure" Beast Boy grinned to himself, time for his new present to go on its first test drive.
Raven came walking into the room next, followed by Terra. Raven headed to the couch, while Terra went to the kitchen. "Do we have anymore cherry coke left?" she asked Beast Boy.
"Not after yesterday," Robin grinned.
"We're locking it up and never buying more again," Raven added to the joke.
Terra rolled her eyes and looked back to Beast Boy.
Beast Boy laughed then opened Cyborg's pop, taking longer then usual to bring it into view, he looked at Terra and winked before taking the pop to Cyborg. "Here master" he said with sarcasm.
"Ha, I like that," Cyborg laughed before drinking almost all his pop in a single gulp, not seeming to think about why it was open. A minute later he burped. "Excuse me-" he burped again. "What the-" burp "-is going on?" Cyborg looked over the pop then over at Beast Boy. Beast-" burp "-Boy!"
Terra grinned a mischievous grin, giving Beast Boy a questioning look. She grabbed a Cherry coke from the fridge and watched Cyborg drink near the whole can down. She immediately started laughing though, automatically understanding what had happened.
Robin looked over at Cyborg, raised an eyebrow, and laughed.
Raven looked over at Beast Boy. "What did you do?" she was quick to make an accusation.
Beast Boy looked around at his friends before looking at Terra with a mock disbelieving look. "Why am I always first to blame for the pranks? They act like I am the one who does most of them or something!" he shook his head.
"When I get my hands on you, your gonna be the next steak I eat!" Cyborg yelled, burping about every two words. He shot up from his seat and ran for the green prankster.
Beast Boy yelped then morphed into a puppy with his butt in the air and his paws covering his eyes.
Terra shrugged in response to Beast Boy, then broke out into a fit of laughter when he morphed into a puppy.
"Maybe because you are the one who plays the most pranks," Raven said, though grinned a little at Cyborg's… belching issue.
Robin laughed a bit. "Where'd you get burping powder anyways?" he asked.
Terra's laughter almost immediately stopped.
Cyborg stopped and looked down at the puppy and grunted before burping again. "You just wait little man," he mumbled before taking his seat back... And burping again.
Beast Boy morphed back human in time to hear Robin's question, "Umm, Terra." He said then looked over at Cyborg who was turning blue (or bluer XD) from trying not to burp. It didn't work.
BURP
"Dang it!" Cyborg half yelled.
Both Robin and Raven turned to Terra. "Where did you get it?" Raven asked.
"Heh…" Terra laughed nervously, rubbing her neck. "You don't wanna know," she admitted with a guilty smile.
Robin and Raven gave each other wary looks after looking at Beast Boy. That nervous laugh and guilty grin probably weren't a good sign.
Beast Boy crept out of the room as Starfire came in, he had more pranks to pull on two other Titans who had been teasing.
Starfire looked over at Cyborg as she floated in. He seemed to be mad or something, ready to blow a circuit from the looks of it.
"He thought he had it bad then! Oh booger boy is so in-" BURP "-for it!" Cyborg mumbled.
Terra couldn't help but laugh at Cyborg. Man, she could tell already she was going to have fun just watching Beast Boy pull pranks! Popping open the can of cherry coke, she took a couple gulps.
Raven smirked as Cyborg burped again. She found it kind of amusing. So long as Beast Boy stayed away from her.
Beast Boy saw Ravens room was next, he grinned in an evil way before setting up a smoke bomb in Ravens room. Soon as she went back in there, oh he was so in for it.
Starfire shook her head then walked to the fridge and pulled herself an orange soda out, though then jumped back and screamed/yelped.
Robin looked over. "What is it?" he asked Starfire after she screamed.
Terra looked over as well, as did Raven. "Another prank?" Raven asked.
Starfire had her hand on her chest as she took in deep breaths. "I believe it is..." She answered Raven as she picked up a spider that had flown out of her pop can.
Raven shook her head. "He better stay away from me, or I swear…" she trailed, not bothering to finish her sentence.
Terra grinned to herself. She knew that wasn't gonna happen.
"Great, now he's on a pranking spree!" Cyborg yelled after burping at least twice that time.
Starfire threw the empty can away and grabbed another, though opening it slowly to make sure nothing popped up at her.
"Thanks Terra, really," Robin said, half mumbling.
Terra laughed guiltily again. "Anytime," she stretched the word out a little.
"Please don't," Raven responded to the 'anytime'. How about no time? Like never again.
"Girl, you just wait, I am going to beat your skinny butt to the moon," Cyborg grumbled just loud enough for Terra to hear.
Beast Boy walked back down stairs looking as innocent as he could.
Starfire gave her green friend an annoyed type of look.
Terra shrunk back a bit, but grinned as Beast Boy came in. "You'll have to catch me first," she told Cyborg.
"That should be easy with all three of us on her heels," Raven informed. It was her way of saying that if Beast Boy came anywhere near her, she'd be going after TWO fifteen year olds instead of just one.
Robin looked over at Beast Boy. That was such a fake look. Beast Boy and innocent didn't mix.
Beast Boy looked over at Raven and smirked before sitting in the couch in the corner, waiting till it was tonight. Only an hour or two... just try to wait that long, he told himself.
