Yay for reviews! Whee. Sorry I took so long. Again, again. Well, hope you like the new chappie!
WildCat9221: Thanks :DD Kuro isn't a character from the the actual show, or anything. She's just… egoth, that's what she is. (Don't even bother asking…)
Happy Sun: Cliffie indeed! I know, the neon colored straws are SO under appreciated. And I totally agree! Robin likes his cheep impersonator. I love screaming at Speedy. In his first ep, with Robin being all over competitive, towards the end when Speedy says "Yea, but was it worth it?" I was all "Damn right!" and that in that one with Control Freak, the idiot is brushing his hair. I mean, come on. Then he says, "They have flat panel computer displays. Why don't we have flat panel computer displays?" and I scream "Cuz your not cool!" ...Talking to a TV doesn't mean you're insane, does it? Oh, and you never told me where that quote was from!
robins#1fan: Thanks! :D Sorry I took so long.
Luna: Oh noes! You scare me sometimes, Luna. xD But thanksss!
angelslove: Thanks!
Robin glared at me. His lips were moving slightly, but no sound was coming out. I realized he was counting backwards, which, as much as I've pushed him, he only ever had to do once ...when I stole all of his hair gel. The scene went something like this:
Robin: BELLA, WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY HAIR GEL?
Me: -cough- I, uhh, gave it away... to children in need.
Robin: -twitch- ...What?
Me: -nervous laughter- Isn't it good to know you've helped children in need...? -runs-
Robin: -passes out-
Starfire: Robin? ROBIN?
It ended with Robin not letting me back in the T-Tower (I had ran out, and kept running, far, far away...) until I replaced all the hair gel I had taken. It was pretty sad. He told me what store to go to, and everyone in the store knew Robin and his insane gel-fixation. I chose an awesome time to take it, because as it turns out, Robin buys his hair gel weekly; I happened to take it right after he had bought his next week's worth, so I got it alllll. On the other hand, it wasn't so awesome, because I had to buy a full entire week's worth of Robin's hair gel. It wound up being seven large bags filled to the brim with bottles of gel. Which I had to lug all the way back to the T-Tower by myself, might I add. I had to pay for it myself too. Do you have any idea how freaken' expensive it was? I bet the Teen Titans are in debt just from Robin and his hair maintenance. I had to bring those bags back one at a time, because they were so heavy; Robin wouldn't even let any of the other Teen Titans help when they offered, the meanie.
What really happened to all Robin's gel? Let's just say the High 5 will find an early Christmas present when they open their front door. Who knows, maybe the next time the Titans meet up with them, Jinx will have a cool new hairdo...
Anyways.
Robin finished counting and looked at me. "Bella," he said, slowly and darkly. "Are you serious?"
I winced. "Yea…" I answered, causing him to fix me with a look that could kill.
"You might want to run. He's gonna kill you." Kuro warned me.
I cautiously took a few steps back from Robin. "I don't have to run now…" I said, watching as my concoction took effect. "It's when it wears off I'm that I'm in trouble…"
Robin's anger changed into a sort of daze.
I looked at Slade. He was giggling to himself. "…This is the song that never ends… it will go on and on my friend..." he sang softly.
Kuro blinked. "Yeah, never spike Slade's drink. EVER. If you do I'll personally kill you."
Slade nodded wisely. "You've got to kill her with something shiny."
Kuro slapped a hand to her forehead.
"You should always kill them with something shiny. That's bad guy rule number one." Slade informed her, still nodding. "Or is it never make deals with flying slices of pizza...? I always forget. Either way, remember, flying slices of pizza never hold their end of the deal. Trust me. I had to learn the hard way."
"I'll take your word for it." Kuro answered, reaching out and grabbing his forehead to still him as he continued nodding like a bobble-head doll.
I pulled out a notebook, writing, 'Seams to effect evil people faster' as Slade's one visible eye looking towards his nose. I was pretty sure he was blowing a raspberry beneath his mask, but I couldn't be positive. 'Warning: This stuff will seriously mess you up. Or Slade is just messed up naturally.'
Kuro glanced over my shoulder, reading what I wrote. "He is not, and you know it! This is your fault!" She protested, hitting me hard over the head.
Rubbing the spot, I turned my gaze to Robin, who still looked dazed as my concoction slowly took effect. It was the perfect opportunity. While he was out-of-it enough not to get mad, but not so out-of-it that he wouldn't understand the question. "Robin, did you really lay an egg?"
Robin looked at me. "Wha…?"
"You know... that holiday song!" I started to sing, "Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg…"
"That's redic-ilus man." Robin said, pronouncing the word 'ridiculous' oddly.
"Bell, why does Robin sound like a hippie?" Kuro asked.
"Dunno… It might be a side effect." I said, writing, 'Possible side effect: hippie behavior'
"Hey, you! Dude in the shiny mask." Robin said suddenly, stumbling forward. "I know who you are!"
"I know who you are too." Slade said.
"Re-ally?" Robin said, stretching the word.
"Um hum!" Slade said proudly. "Hey, I just remembered! I don't like you."
"Yeah, I don't like you either." Robin answered.
They glared at each other.
"I know how to settle this… Table Top Hockey!" he proclaimed.
"I've never played Table Top Hockey." Slade said. He frowned. (Theoretically, again. Curse those masks.)
"Really?" Robin asked, sounding shocked. "The Titans and I play every Friday. That is, every Friday SOME PEOPLE don't make any evil plans that we have to cancel the game to stop!" Robin looked pointedly at Slade.
"Hey man, a villain's gotta do what a villain's gotta do." Slade said. "So, let's settle this with Table Top Hockey."
Robin nodded. "First we need ice cream."
"Why?"
"Cuz. Ice cream's good." Robin explained. "And we use the sprinkle container as a puck, and we use the spoons as sticks."
"I don't have ice cream though." Slade said sadly.
"I do!" Robin replied. "At the T-Tower." With that, Robin started leading the way.
My eyes widened in horror. If they were going back to the T-Tower, the other Teen Titans would see Robin like this.
I can't let that happen! There's no way! Once it wears off, he'll totally kill me!
Since I didn't know how I could stop the two from going, there was only one thing to do. I had to let Robin and Slade play their game, without letting any of the other Teen Titans see them.
"See ya Kuro." I said quickly, and ran for the T-Tower.
Luckily Robin and Slade were walking slow, chatting and acting all buddy-buddy, so I got there first, with enough time to do something with the rest of the Titans.
I charged through the door, gasping for air. The Titans all stopped whatever it is they were doing and stared as I burst in.
"Bell? Are you okay?" Beast Boy asked.
I didn't answer him, I only said, "Break out the ice cream!"
