Chapter 29: Football with a side of cameo
---Previously---
"Are you really going?" Sean asked Squirrel softly looking at its cute little face.
---Continues---
Squirrel looked at Sean then nodded its head.
Sean sat on his knees.
"No" He said softly.
The five onlookers, Terra, Robin, Cyborg, Starfire and Beastboy looked at eachother.
"WELL I have to cook the… umm… TV!" Cyborg said walking inside.
"I have…to…Oh yeah! CALL SPEEDY he better be a Jump City Fanatic…" Robin said as Terra helped Beastboy up.
"Me and Beastboy need to…." Terra began.
"MAKE OUT IN THE CLOSET" Cyborg yelled out.
"Punch up Cyborg" Beastboy finished as Terra helped Beastboy chase Cyborg.
Robin began to walk in and saw Starfire just looking at Squirrel sadly.
"Come on, Star" Robin said pulling Starfire in.
"No" She said softly as Robin pulled her inside and closed the door.
Starfire stood at the glass door Robin had locked and rushed over to the phone that was visible on the wall.
"CYBORG; RINGING SPEEDY" He yelled out.
Cyborg nodded as he walked and sat the table with a glass of Coke.
Robin dialled a number and put it to his ear.
"Yo, Speedy" Robin greeted.
"Oh, Robin, Yo" Speedy replied.
Robin talking to Speedy was liking talking to yourself in the mirror; Speedy would answer with the exact same thing Robin would answer with if he was the one asked that question; Robin didn't exactly noticed as he was fixed on getting a supporter on his team.
"Watching Football, What team?" Robin asked.
"Football is on now?" Speedy yelled.
Robin nodded.
Speedy sighed. "My mum won't let me get the TV" Speedy replied.
Robin frowned. "Who…Jump City or Gotham?" Robin asked.
"JUMP CITY!" Speedy yelled.
"WOOH!" Robin replied happily.
Robin looked at Cyborg.
He put the phone down and blocked the microphone in it; "Can Speedy come?" Robin asked.
Cyborg laughed. "Whatever" He replied.
Robin put the phone to his ear. "Can you come over?" Robin asked.
Speedy frowned. "I think so, just dunno where Cyborg lives" Speedy replied.
"Stone Street" Robin replied.
"What number?" Speedy replied.
Robin looked at Cyborg. "What number again?" Robin asked.
Cyborg looked at Robin. "Someone will be out there" Cyborg replied.
"They will?" Robin asked.
Cyborg shrugged.
Robin sighed. "It's one story; got the heaps of rosebushes out front" Robin said to Speedy.
Speedy sighed. "Better only be one" Speedy replied.
"It is near a huge mansion; Kitten's house" Robin continued.
"Think I know it" Speedy replied.
"Cool, See you soon" Robin replied.
Speedy nodded then set off to ask his mum who always agreed to let him go anywhere.
Robin jumped in the air cheering "WOOOOOOH!"
"Speedy's coming and he supports Jump City Warriors?" Cyborg asked his eyebrows raised looking at Robin as it was peculiar to see him jumping and cheering; well for the short time he has known Robin he hasn't been prone to huge and loud actions.
Robin nodded excitedly. "We'll show 'em… We'll show 'em all!" Robin yelled obviously excited.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah; Gotham Rangers gonna woop some ass" Cyborg replied.
"I cheer for the Rangers of the City of Gotham!" Starfire said turning around.
"There you are!" Beastboy yelled running at Cyborg though he was in pain as he did it.
Terra just sighed as she walked and sat at the table.
Starfire sat at the table with Terra.
"You also are the one to have problems, Terra?" Starfire asked.
Terra looked up shaking her head laughing. "No, Just a sigh as I'm tired of running around helping Beastboy" Terra said smiling her head slightly tilted to the side as she looked at Starfire's unsure face.
"Well…" Starfire started clearly upset.
"I am not in such a great mood; Sean's friend; Squirrel may be leaving for his family and he won't be happy as he is partaking in the family ritual with that squirrel…" Starfire said softly.
"Family…ritual?" Terra questioned.
"Correct…" Starfire said with an upset sigh.
"Uh… Star don't worry everything will turn out okay…" Terra assured Starfire.
Starfire smiled at Terra's positive comment and nodded.
"Thank you Terra, my feelings are healed" Starfire said.
Terra nodded smiling.
Charm and Raven were now back in the lounge room after choosing their pizza choice.
"So… tomorrow Night, you going?" Raven asked.
Charm seemed startled as she looked up from her thoughts. "What?" Charm asked.
"Are you going tomorrow night…you know the whole…Skye Café Poetry night…?" Raven asked.
Charm nodded. "Yeah" She said simply.
"You got anything more for it…?" Raven asked remembering Charm had a poem the first night.
Charm looked at Raven and shrugged. "Possibly" She replied.
Raven nodded.
She stood up and walked away then came back with a book.
Charm looked at Raven. "You keep a book here?" Charm asked.
Raven nodded as she sat down.
"Have to keep something to distract me from Cyborg's random cheering and offensive tackles…" Raven replied.
Charm chuckled; the day's events hadn't let her laugh in any variation… such as a chuckle or even a giggle or any laugh with meaning.
"Okay; so who ever can drink the whole cup of Yummo Milk Shakies using nothing but a spoon the faster wins" Cyborg asked.
Beastboy nodded as he edged his spoon closer to his cup filled with Honey Malt Milk which happened to be his favourite; they made up huge names for it but everyone knew that it was just honey comb with a longer name using words that make you want to eat it; like the word luscious when used about chocolate can put you on the edge of your seat; well some people.
"3…2…1…Go!" Robin yelled.
"GO BEASTBOY!" Terra squealed.
"Get that milk in you Cyborg!" Robin yelled.
"Go friends!" Starfire squealed.
A classic 'ding dong' was heard for their bell.
Cyborg turned around as did the cheering stop.
Cyborg walked to the door and let who it was in; they walked down the hallway with Cyborg to reveal that the guest was Speedy.
Beastboy was nearly through his cup though feeling frustrated how he had to use his spoon to drink a whole cup of milk.
Cyborg ran to his mostly full cup and drank it down without using the spoon.
"CHEATER!" Beastboy yelled milk flying from his nose and his mouth.
"You're cleaning that up…" Cyborg said simply looking at it.
"But at least I win" Beastboy replied with a grin.
"Not really; you didn't drink all the milk" Cyborg said pointing at the milk on the kitchen bench and floor. "Using a spoon".
Beastboy looked up at Cyborg who raised his eyebrows a cheeky grin on his face.
Beastboy glared. "I'm not drinking off the floor!" Beastboy objected.
"I can't believe I drunk of the floor" Beastboy said frowning.
"I think I can feel a piece of dirt in my mouth" Beastboy said shoving his finger in his mouth; it was more of a mind of matter thing; he believed the milk was so covered in stuff he believes there is now.
Terra rolled her eyes. "Wouldn't be surprised if it was apart of the tile that you seemed to try to shatter as you got the spoon to get all that milk" Terra replied.
Beastboy squealed as he put both index fingers into his mouth to find a tile piece.
Robin and Speedy laughed sitting at the table with them.
Cyborg yelled through the house. "5 MINUTES AND IT STARTS!" Cyborg yelled.
"Isn't the pizza here yet?" Beastboy groaned.
"Should be here soon" Robin assured him.
"When did you guys order it?" Speedy asked.
"…What was it; 40…50 minutes ago?" Robin asked.
Beastboy nodded his stomach grumbling as he did.
"Well let's all get ready in the lounge room before Cyborg rips us into a million pieces" Terra said with a laugh.
They got up continuing their talking and heading for the lounge room.
Raven continued her reading then looked up.
"What's wrong?" Charm asked.
Cyborg came running in singing the Gotham City Ranger's theme song followed closely by Starfire singing it.
Terra, Beastboy, Speedy and Robin came in chatting debating their favourite flavour of 'Yummo Milk Shakies'.
Charm looked at Raven who was on the next seat of the 8 seat corner lounge.
"I see…" Charm said simply.
Cyborg turned on the tv, stereo then turned on the cable TV.
"It's live too!" Cyborg said excitedly.
"The give you ads all exactly three minutes so you can replay parts that you liked; how cool is that?" Cyborg yelled.
"YOU'RE SERIOUS?" Beastboy yelled.
"I guess we are going to see a lot of Jump Warriors making terrific and near impossible goals then" Robin replied.
"In the wrong goals" Cyborg retorted.
Robin seemed steamed as Beastboy laughed.
"Wait… We are sharing the replay time right?" Speedy asked.Robin seemed steamed as Beastboy laughed.
"Wait… We are sharing the replay time right?" Speedy asked.
Cyborg nodded. "Most of us will get a break" Cyborg laughed.
"Fine with me…" Raven said clearly not wanting for any break.
"Shh!" Cyborg snapped as the program began to start; it wasn't the game yet; more just talking and what not.
"The game is exciting yes!" Starfire said happily.
Raven sighed rolling her eyes as Cyborg closed the curtains and all lights were off except one lamp where Raven was sitting which he let slide.
The commentators were announcing statistics while Charm, Starfire and Terra were looking at one certain commentator which Terra or Charm would call 'hot' or as Starfire would say 'he is one of the higher temperature beings'.
Robin and Speedy cheered as the lesser 'hot' one announced he thinks the Jump City Warriors are most likely to win.
The 'hot' one they found out his name was Boyd disagreed. "Sorry Dave but I think the Gotham City Rangers have this in the bag" Boyd replied.
"Well we'll just have to wait and see!" Dave replied a little annoyed well sounded it in his voice.
"Boyd is not only hot but has good taste!" Terra squealed.
Beastboy glared. "Only half of that statement is true" He replied.
"What's the matter…jealous" Cyborg whispered nudging Beastboy while Robin heard; the two burst into laughter while Beastboy glared at Cyborg.
"You wish!" He yelled back.
They would have thought he had the 'crazies' but they knew Cyborg had said something what he said was a different story.
"Shh!" Cyborg snapped.
Beastboy glared.
"And here are the players…" Boyd said announcing the amount of tries, conversions and other football related statistics ((No I don't watch much football/rugby whatever P.))
The Jump City Warriors were announced first; well there players statistic making Robin and Speedy cheer; when the Rangers came around the rest… besides Raven cheered.
"And the game will start in about five minutes, right Boyd?" Dave asked.
"Right; so after this brake we'll get this game started" Boyd said grinning.
An ad began to play.
"Isn't it a bit pointless to give an ad for replay use without having any game stuff to watch" Speedy grumbled.
"Not entirely" Charm replied snatching the remote from Cyborg and replaying to show Boyd talking.
Most of the girls seemed to melt; once again besides Raven; it wasn't she wasn't attracted to him; it was more what's the point squealing over guys when they don't know his real personality? What if he is a cow and just puts on an act; that's why Raven doesn't exactly care that much.
"That's around three minutes of drooling back to the game!" Beastboy snapped.
"Beastboy… it's only been around fifty seconds" Cyborg replied.
Cyborg grinned. "Oh I know why…" Cyborg whispered.
"SHUT UP!" Beastboy yelled.
After around two more minutes they turned back to the channel to watch the game and the teams were called out; since it was located at Gotham City when the Gotham City Rangers were called the majority cheered but there were still quite a lot of Jump City Warrior supporters.
There were even quite a few posters of a warrior like man holding a sword near a helpless ranger who had there hand to their mouth as though they were quite feminine.
Speedy and Robin seemed to crack up every time they saw it getting quite a few glares from Terra, Cyborg and Beastboy while Starfire would go more for the friendly like nature that she had by nature.
The game was started and the hearts of the people there was obviously racing as was the commentators as they began to quite quickly telling what was happening.
There was a lot of cheering in Cyborg's house; Starfire, Cyborg, Beastboy and Terra would go into huge cheers when the ball was gained by the Rangers, intercepted one of the other teams throws and then they got into a possession and even when they edged close to getting a goal though no goal was scored yet; Robin and Speedy would cheer for the same things Starfire, Cyborg, Beastboy and Terra would except swapped around as they were going for the Warriors.
The Rangers were edging close to getting a goal; the ball was intercepted by the warriors and fumbled straight into the Rangers hands again who scored a try.
Cyborg, Beastboy, Terra and even Starfire screamed and cheered; Starfire finished her cheering and Terra did eventually; Cyborg and Beastboy were now rubbing it in Robin and Speedy's face.
They stopped arguing to see if the conversion was a success; which it was.
It was now 6-0 the Gotham City Rangers winning.
Cyborg and Beastboy were now cheering madly; Starfire let out a small squeal of a cheer and Terra joined in with Cyborg and Beastboy with their huge cheers.
An ad was now started and Cyborg replayed the try then the conversion the two cheering joined by Terra; Starfire had already cheered once so she didn't, she just clapped quite happily.
After quite a few replays they returned to watch the commentators who were stating what they thought.
"That was a wonderful try by the Rangers just then...wasn't it Boyd" Dave said with a grin.
Boyd laughed uncomfortably. "Great defence by the Warriors; a nice try to stop them" Boyd said positively.
"Which didn't work" Dave retorted.
Boyd laughed showing how uncomfortable he was through the laugh just like earlier.
"Well back to the game I guess" Boyd said smiling.
The game was continued once again the house was filled with cheers as the game continued to get close; now there was a few goals; two by the Jump City Warriors and Gotham city had gotten three more; it was clear that the Gotham City Rangers were going to win considering Jump City Warriors hadn't converted any of their goals while the Gotham City Rangers had converted all.
It was now 18-8; Gotham City Rangers were winning.
This was shown by Speedy and Robin's attitude as they sat on the edge of the seat booing whenever the ball or groaning whenever their team would lose possession; Beastboy, Cyborg and Terra were much more laid back about it all as they were clearly going to win and the time was going down quite quick; there had been a few ads now and they had replayed the tries and conversions.
The doorbell rung.
Cyborg jumped up smelling the pizza; he ran to the door.
"That took long" Cyborg groaned.
"Sorry; we put in a free garlic bread, Coke and another vegetarian pizza" The man replied. "Due to lateness".
Cyborg groaned and paid the money then handed out the pizzas to each person.
They began to eat their pizzas while they waited; it was a long brake in the middle; it was the only long brake and the fans loved the long brake; replays were an essence of the fun they had to Cyborg anyway; Cyborg would replay all the tries by his team anyways.
Starfire walked out of the room followed by Charm.
Starfire looked out the door and saw Charm sitting down on the grass playing with Squirrel and his family.
"Wondered where he was…" Charm said startling Starfire who turned quickly.
"Oh… Charm" Starfire said looking at her; Starfire and Charm had never really made any huge conversation with Starfire.
"Why's he out there?" Charm asked.
"Sean was searching for the squirrel earlier thus the many sounds you were to hear and found Squirrel had a family who wishes to leave Sean to live with his family" Starfire explained.
Charm nodded. "I see…" Charm said softly.
"Shall we go talk to him?" Starfire asked.
Charm nodded. "Best to" Charm replied.
Starfire unlocked the door and walked out with Charm just behind her.
Charm and Starfire walked up to Sean.
"HELLOOOOOOOO FELLOW PEOPLE!" Sean yelled happily.
"Hi…" Charm said unenthusiastically.
"Well a good…umm helloooo to you too" Starfire greeted him waving happily.
Sean stood up with the four squirrels circling his neck.
"There is still another two aswell!" Sean said happily two more circling his body
Sean grinned.
"Umm, Yeah, Okay; So what you doing about Squirrel?" Charm asked.
"Squirrel is leaving, no?" Starfire asked.
Sean grinned.
"Squirrel is staying with me!" He said grinning.
"So where are the other four going?" Charm asked.
"His parents wish to stay here but Squirrel will feel much more at home with his sisters and brother" Sean replied.
"Great" Charm said glaring at Squirrel.
Sean nodded. "I know!" He said happily.
"A happy ending!" Starfire said clapping her two hands together.
"But Squirrel's parents are going to follow Cyborg to school so he can see Squirrel and his siblings; then they will play outside and join me at lunch" Sean explained.
"THE SYSTEM WORKS!" He yelled happily.
"It…does?" Starfire asked.
Charm giggled. "Just agree with him; it always works".
"HEY! That is so my system!" Sean yelled.
"Well…I'm hungry now" Charm said turning.
Starfire nodded. "I too need to partake in the consumption of these 'pizza'.
Sean grinned.
"Pizza" He said in a creepy voice.
"PIZZA!" He yelled running quickly into the house.
Charm laughed. "Sean's…back" She said smiling.
Charm turned with Starfire.
"So..." Charm said turning to Starfire.
"How you been Star?" Charm asked.
Starfire smiled. "I have been quite delightful" She replied.
Charm nodded. "That's good" Charm replied.
"Do you want something?" Starfire asked politely.
Charm started to same something but shook her head.
"Please, I am willing to listen" Starfire said smiling.
Charm smiled. "It's nothing really… just thought it'd be fun if we knew eachother a little more" Charm replied.
"You wish to do the hanging out" Starfire said happily.
Charm blushed; she was kinda embarrassed and nodded. "After the game; just we don't know each other at all…" Charm explained.
Starfire nodded. "Let us join our friends in the watching of the violent sport my father loves oh so much" Starfire said clapping. "Football" She said finishing it off.
Charm smiled and the two walked into dining room then passed the kitchen through the hall way and into the lounge room; Sean was laying on the floor with a pizza box with just plain cheese pizza in it as he ate it.
Charm sat in her place next to Raven and Starfire back in her place next to Terra.
"It's starting in a sec" Beastboy whispered as Cyborg finished watching a replay then it was back on the commentators talking.
"And here are a few fans!" Boyd said happily.
The screen showed quite a few fans; the first was a young man; he was dressed in yellow and white the colours of the Gotham City Rangers; his shirt had a large cardboard sign across his chest stuck on the shirt having the logo and the words saying GC Rangers across it.
"Here is a young spirited fan of the Jump City Warriors!" Dave said with a cheerful tone.
There was a seven year old child waving his hands quite happily.
His face was painted to look like a warrior and he had a plastic axe.
"YAY!" He squealed as he must of saw himself on the huge Jumbo-Vision which showed random people and what is happening on the field.
The kid waved happily.
"Aww!" Terra said happily.
"He is as you would say 'cute'" Starfire said smiling.
Raven looked up rolled her eyes and went back to her book.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah… Get on with the game!" Beastboy whined.
"And this man" Boyd said showing a Gotham City Ranger fan's face; it was someone they all knew; Mostly Robin; it was Bruce; Robin's father.
It zoomed out to show he was only in his underwear and was painted one side yellow the other white.
"Iris!" Charm said startled as the young blonde girl tried to put her father's Gotham City Ranger's gown back on him.
You could slightly hear her voice saying "Please dad; sit, your embarrassing me… aw… now we're on that TV thing".
Charm stood up and shook her head walking out of the room sniffling.
Raven closed her book looking up seeing the girl then put her book on the desk where the lamp reside and walked out; Starfire followed; Charm and Starfire were planning to get to know each other more so Starfire felt obliged to go.
They walked through the computer room; through the kitchen and through the dining room and out the door.
Charm was outside sitting on the grass lying back looking at the sky.
"Charm" Raven said still in her monotone voice.
Charm bent up and looked back to see Raven and Starfire walk out the door.
Charm had tears welling in her eyes.
"It's really hard…" Charm said softly.
Raven sat next to her and Starfire on the other side.
"It's hard enough knowing she left on that sort of terms considering we are best friends…were…" Charm said softly.
Raven looked at Charm. "She'll get over it; you know it will get better" Raven said her voice also still in monotone but it was obvious she cared.
Starfire nodded. "Friend Iris is a reasonable person; she will care of your feelings and will fall to try and talk to you again" Starfire said smiling.
Charm shook her head. "She won't! That's the problem!" Charm objected.
Starfire seemed startled.
"She is sensitive but being sensitive is… double edged; she is sensitive about hers and others; she will know that you are hurt by what happened and will try to talk to you" Raven explained.
Charm nodded. "It was hard…especially seeing her how she wasn't sad about what happened…" She explained.
"Friend Iris will return; somehow she'll return…She loves living here" Starfire said smiling.
"Actually she hated her house; she wanted something nice and big; her dad promised her a huge place at Gotham; she will love it there… it's a well known mansion; Bruce is well known; everyone will know her there… honour her as 'Bruce's daughter'… they will use her for her money; to know Bruce; to hopefully get their parent's a job…She will be used; Gotham City people are pigs!" Charm objected.
"Have you been to Gotham?" Starfire asked. "I have not; my father goes quite often…" Starfire said softly.
Charm nodded. "I was born in Gotham…" Charm replied.
"People there are mean; they only befriend you if they want something… and if Iris stays there too long; she may turn into one of them…and then all chances of befriending Iris again is gone… I wouldn't want to be a friend with someone like that either" Charm objected.
"Maybe we could go to Gotham?" Raven asked.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! You say you know the place; maybe Iris will be able to communicate with you and your problems will be gone!" Starfire said clasping her hands together.
Charm looked at Starfire; her speech really annoyed Charm though Charm's annoyance was cancelled out by Starfire's childlike innocence she had; though her innocence annoyed Charm also due to its similarity to Iris.
No matter what way you look at it; Iris was causing Charm pain.
Charm smiled.
"Maybe I could talk to her; but she may not want to talk to me…" Charm said softly.
Charm shook her head. "Thanks you guys…" Charm said looking at the two.
"Group…HUG!" Starfire squealed pouncing onto the two hugging them both.
"Get off me…" Raven groaned while Charm was happy; Charm was a lot like Raven but Charm still had her soft side; she loved hugs, stuffed animals on occasions, etc.
