"…Ice cream?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yup, ice cream." I affirmed, still panting.
"Please, why do you desire the iced cream?" Starfire asked.
"Cuz…"
"Because what?" She probed.
"Let the girl breath Star." Cyborg said as I gasped for air.
I glanced at him thankfully.
I had to think fast… As my breathing became slower and more natural, I looked up at them. "Well…" I started telling them what happened to us after the Titans all split up. It was pretty close to what actually happened, but I left out some minor details which… weren't so minor at all, but who really cares? Ha…ha.
Anyway.
"So... Robin's angry..." I summed up. "REALLY angry."
"I am sure Robin is not that angry." Starfire answered comfortingly.
"Oh, he is…"
"What did you do?"
"I'd rather not say." I told her, looking down.
She nodded.
Dude, go me! I'm pulling this off!
"So why do you need ice cream?" Cyborg asked.
Crud. Quickly, I managed an answer. "Well, I was kinda hoping me and Robin could sit down and work this out…I figured some junk food might help."
"Speaking of Robin…where is he?" Raven asked.
"Outside." I replied truthfully. "I think he's trying to cool down… Like I said, he was mad. Hey, do you think while me and Robin talk you guys could…give us some space?"
"Sure." Beast Boy said.
"Why don't you watch a movie?" Out of no where I pulled out a DVD. "It's a sci-fi, and it's supposed to be really funny!" I said, catching the interest of Cyborg and Beast Boy.
"I'm not watching that." Raven stated in her usual dry tone.
"C'mon, Raven! We're all gonna watch it." Cyborg said.
"Robin isn't." Raven pointed out. "I'm going to my room to read a book."
"Oh no you don't!" Beast Boy said, grabbing Raven by the arm and tugging her down the hall way. "You go work thing out with Robin, Bella."
Raven let out sigh, deciding it would be better to just to watch the movie than waste her time listening to Beast Boy try to convince her to, and allowed him to lead the way. Cyborg and Starfire followed.
I carefully waited for them to leave, and then I trusted my fist into the air. "Oh yeah, I'm good!"
I ran to the kitchen and began gathering bowls and spoons as I grinned to myself. Ha ha! Just look at me, acting and stuff! I should try out for Broadway or something! I know, I should try for a part in the Phantom of the Opera! And Robin to be the Phantom! He won't even need a mask, he already wears one! But he probably wouldn't go for it...Darn...
When I heard the knock I was expecting on the door, I opened it to reveal Robin and Slade. Robin looked different for some reason. I realized it was because had on a big smile. Slade did too. (Theoretically, again. Still, even without being able to see his mouth, I'd bet good money Slade was smiling.)
"Let's play in your room, so we're not interrupted." I suggested, eager to get Robin and Slade safely out of the halls. I didn't want one of the Teen Titans spotting either of them if they went to the kitchen for snacks or something. "You guys go ahead, I'll get the ice cream."
I grabbed the ice cream and the supplies all at once and rushed to Robin's room. When I entered I found Slade and Robin chatting and acting like they were best friends.
"Remember that time I kidnapped you and made you be my apprentice?" Slade asked, breaking out into laughter.
Robin laughed as well. "Totally! And I was all dramatic saying if you wanted to kill my friends you'd have to kill me!" he added enthusiastically.
Slade laughed louder. "Oh, man, that was so good!"
Robin bobbed his head. "The outfit you gave me was so awesome!"
"I know! And that other time I had Terra spy on you! You guys totally fell for it!" Slade continued, still laughing.
"Yup! We never even saw it coming!" Robin said through yet another burst of laughter.
"And that other time I made you dance around in a tutu!" Slade continued.
Robin blinked, face slipping into a pondering expression. "I don't remember that." he responded earnestly.
Slade thought. "Oh… that's right, you wouldn't remember it after I drugged you with tons of sugar…" Slade murmured. He glanced up. "Hope you don't mind."
"It's cool." Robin said, waving a hand casually.
I finished serving the ice cream and handed the bowls to Slade and Robin, all too happy to join in the conversation.
"So if Robin doesn't remember…" I grinned evilly. "Why don't you tell us the story?"
Robin nodded, expression keen.
"Well…" Slade began, leaning back slightly in his chair like a true story teller. "I was in the perfect position to blow up the entire city, but I was bored and didn't really feel like it…you know those off days…and I decided it'd be funnier to make Robin wear a tutu. So I explained to Robin how I could very easily destroy the city but I wouldn't if he'd wear a tutu and dance on the roof, so of course, he had to. But then I figured that ruin my 'image', and you wouldn't believe how hard i work to maintain it, so to save face I decided to drug Robin afterward so he'd forget. Simple really."
A bit later, things were still going smooth. Robin and Slade were still exchanging stories, and I got lots of notes for my trial.
"Hey, Bella!" Beast Boy called.
"Be right back." I said to Robin and Slade, rushing outside to Beast Boy and the other Teen Titans.
"How's it going with Robin?" He asked me.
"Umm. Not so well… How was the movie?"
"Idiotic and completely pointless." Raven responded flatly.
I sweat dropped. "Well, Robin and I haven't exactly sorted everything out. Think you could watch another movie?" I asked, grabbing another DVD from no where.
"Cool. Movie round two!" Cyborg said, taking the DVD and leading the way.
"I'm gonna go back to Robin." I called after them, and jogged back to his room.
To my horror, all I found when I got there was two empty ice cream bowls.
I hadn't even left them for an entire minute! And everything had been going so well! I sighed miserably.
Raising my head, I could distantly hear what sounded like Slade cheering Robin on. That could not be good.
Following the sound of Slade's voice I sprinted to the roof.
I blinked. What was Robin doing with all those sheets…?
I blinked some more, then it clicked. "You want to jump off the T-Tower?" I asked in a panicked tone.
"Think it'll work?" Robin asked Slade.
"Definitely!" Slade responded enthusiastically.
Robin grinned largely, knotting the sheets around the pole of the volleyball net.
I had no clue when he had the time to tie all those sheets together but I'd worry about that later. "Wait! What will the other Teen Titan's think?" I asked, hoping to get him to change his mind.
"The Titans!" Robin gasped. "Where are they?"
"They're watching a movie."
"I'm gonna go say hi!" Robin said brightly, and he tugged on the sheets to make sure they would hold.
I knew what he was going to do. Bungee jump right through the wall probably, and in the state he was in he'd just dust himself off with a big smile.
Robin jumped.
I turned and ran as quickly as I could back inside. The Titans were watching one of those 3D movies and were all wearing paper glasses with the red and blue lenses.
I rushed over to the window next to the TV, throwing it open, muttering, "Wow, it's hot in here, isn't it?" trying to keep the panic out of my voice.
I was glad to attract the attention of Raven and Starfire as I headed back towards the door.
Raven eyed me. "Not really. It's a little chilly."
Which was true, but I couldn't tell her that. "Really? I'm burning up." I responded quickly.
Luckily for me Starfire and Raven were distracted by me so they weren't looking toward the window as Robin came flying through.
Robin did a flip in the air and landed, his odd mental state not dulling his martial arts abilities.
"Awesome effects!" Beast Boy said. "That dude kinda looks like Robin!"
Cyborg merely looked at him, clarly thinking Beast Boy was being pathetically clueless. "That's not just some 'dude who looks like Robin'! He's -insert name of famous actor here- !" he corrected, as if it were obvious. (A/N: -shifty eyes- whattt? I couldn't think of any celebrity who looked like Robin. Just make up someone yourself.)
As Star and Raven glanced back to Cyborg and Beast Boy, I gestured to the ground and then gave a wild flap of my hand to urge Robin forward, desperately hoping he would get the message.
He did, dropping to the floor and military crawling behind the couch the Titan's were sitting on.
I gave a sigh of relief; Raven and Starfire hadn't seen him. BB and Cyborg had just thought he was one of the movie characters.
"Raven, Star, did you see that dude on the screen? He looked just li-" I slapped my hand over Beast Boy's mouth.
All the Titans looked at me oddly.
I gave a weak grin. "I haven't seen it yet…I don't want you to ruin it." I told Beast Boy in an explanatory tone.
He grinned at me in understanding when I released my grip on his mouth. "Ohhh. Okay."
I gave a nod and quickly left, Robin following behind me.
When we made it back to the roof, Slade was no longer there. I slapped my forehead.
After searching frantically and being unable to find him, all we could do was exchange glances and head to Robin's room to wait for Slade to return.
Finally, he opened the door to Robin's room, smiling boyishly. (Theoretically, again. Man I wish I could actually see his face.) "Where'd you go?!" I asked.
"To the zoo to get a teddy bear!" Slade proclaimed happily. In the hall behind him, a large grizzly bear let out a loud roar.
Sweat dropping, I prayed the other Teen Titans thought the sound was part of the movie. "Uhh… That's not a teddy bear."
Slade looked at me blankly. "Yes it is."
Grabbing a near by bottle of hair gel and a black marker, I crossed out the words "hair gel" with a thick X and wrote "HONEY" in large, messy letters. With shifting eyes, I scrawled across bottom " -is not Robin's hair gel-" There. Totally inconspicuous!
I held it up. "See? Want the honey, bear?"
The bear looked at it with interest, sniffing a little.
I waved the bottle. "This way…" I said, walking carefully away down the hall, making sure to hold the bottle high.
The bear followed.
I threw the bottle into a random room. "Go fetch!"
Quickly I locked the door and trusted my fist in the air in victory. "Okay, one more round of table top hockey and them we have to get Slade outta here." I instructed.
This last game put their score at 5 wins each, but I talked them both into just agreeing to leave it as a tie, and Slade left. Then Robin went to bed, thankfully, while the other Titans finished their movie.
Mission accomplished.
The next day I was busy making mixing together new ingredients in the kitchen when Robin called me. "BELLA."
I winced. My previous concoction had worn off after he slept, but he now had a sort of hangover.
I hurried to Robin's room to see Beast Boy and Cyborg on the right side of Robins door, Raven on the left. What is this, the Lion King? I thought as I remembered Scar calling Sarabi with the hyenas on either side.
The other Titans never found out what I did, or anything that happened yesterday, but they knew Robin was very mad at me.
Starfire exited the room. "Good luck." she said, placing her hand on my shoulder. More Lion King I thought, remembering Zazu do the same to Simba. This was just weird. I could feel the chills coming on.
She stepped aside and I walked in.
Robin was standing with his back turned to me. "…Don't you EVER spike my drink again."
"I won't…" I responded slowly.
He turned around and met my gaze suspiciously. "OR my food."
I pouted. "Okay…"
Robin still seemed suspicious. "Don't ever drug me, or anyone else, EVER AGAIN, in any way!"
"You're no fun!"
He glared.
"Oh fine…meanie." I said grudgingly after few moments.
"You can go." He dismissed me.
Raven walked in as I left. "Is everything okay Robin?"
"Fine." He answered tiredly. A thought struck him. "…Raven, did I ever…wear a tutu...?" He asked slowly, remembering the other night.
Raven looked straight ahead, instead of at him. "Do you really want me to answer that?"
Robin's eyes widened slightly, understanding her meaning. "…no."
