A/N: Sorry if that last chapter was a little confusing to some of you. I guess it wasn't to me because I knew what was going on in my head. XD Also, it's great that some of you figured out that Raven wrote the book (it was somewhat supposed to be evident during chapter twelve).

Now, a reviewer (not telling who…they'll probably be proud of them self) guessed what was going to happen in this chapter way in the beginning of the story. I think I know how they figured it out so quickly. I was a little disappointed, but oh well. Thanks for reviewing!

Chapter Sixteen: Magic

"You're late," was the first thing Miss Angles said to her. From Starfire's stories about her, Robin expected her to smile and greet Starfire as if she were her greatest student ever. The teacher was smiling however, but it wasn't a friendly one.

"I'm sorry," Starfire told her. "I was preoccupied with something else." During this statement, Robin noticed that Starfire had learned to use contractions, but only used them in her teacher's presence. She looked at Robin as she did so and he suddenly understood why. She didn't want to completely change when around him. And that was a drastic change.

"Something more important than class?" Miss Angles asked Starfire, astonished.

"No, Miss Angles...I—"

The teacher then cut her off and looked at Robin. "Who is this?" she asked Starfire, lazily. Apparently she had little interest in him.

Starfire beamed. "This is my friend, Robin! He was nice enough to accompany me to school today."

"And I'm guessing that he is the reason you're late?" Miss Angles asked.

"Um..."

"Yes," Robin told the teacher and he stepped forward. "I'm sorry about that."

"Well, you caused Koriand'r to miss the fieldtrip the other students and volunteers are on today. While you were out 'being late' the others have gone to the city zoo for the day." She then faced Starfire, "You could have gone dear, but you must stay here now. Those are the consequences."

Robin looked over to see if Starfire was upset, but she wasn't fazed in the slightest.

"You will have to do extra work today," Miss Angles told Starfire.

"You can't make her do that," Robin blurted out. "I said it was my fault she's late."

"It's for the best," the teacher said, with a twinkle in her eye.

It's for the best. Robin was sick of hearing that statement, even from his own mouth. In the past few weeks, every time those words were said it wasn't for the best, and right now, it was not for the best for a student to miss out on a great time because of him.

"Starfire," he said, "You like going to the zoo. Don't you want to go?"

She sure did. "I—yes, I do."

"Do not disobey your teacher," Miss Angles said. "Now stop chatting and get to work."

"Please let me go to the zoo," Starfire said. "I have already learned very much."

"You know the consequences and you are testing my patience. Now sit please."

Without much of a choice, Starfire sat at an empty desk, despite Robin's persistence. She sadly shrugged and opened her book to wait for instructions. "Open your book to page 404 and do exercises 5, 6, and 7," Miss Angles said.

oOo

Apparently, Beast Boy didn't want to know who Mumbo's help was. He turned into a frog, and small as it was its tongue wasn't. He leaped up and stretched out his tongue, grabbing the second produced wand. He snapped it in half with his tongue, and although it hurt very much Beast Boy was satisfied. Raven's mouth unzipped, and she reached for her communicator to call Cyborg.

Mumbo paid no attention to her. "Fool, haven't you noticed that I can make other wands?" he asked. "It's a shame you weren't the one who ended up with the book, because it would have surely been much funnier."

Raven tried hitting Mumbo with the bench again with her powers, and he groaned at her attempt. He produced yet another wand and many different items flew out of it. Raven blocked the majority of it with her powers, and Beast Boy helped by turning into a gorilla and crushing them through his fists. Soon however, the two were buried in a pile of miscellaneous objects.

Mumbo kissed his wand, while holding it out before himself triumphantly. A blue light came from behind him and it exploded.

"Boo-Yah!" Mumbo heard behind him. He had forgotten all about the other Titans for a moment. Cyborg threw a punch at the villain, before he could pull another wand from his sleeve. Cyborg's eyes darted around as he searched for the other Titans.

"Will you stop breaking my wand!" Mumbo cried to the half metal man. He dodged Cyborg's punch as he shouted, and ignored Raven and Beast Boy who were nearly finished pushing themselves through the items. "Someone out there could be affected by all this damage—"

"Like me?" Raven muttered. "If I could deal with your screwed up powers for the past few weeks," she said while finally climbing out, "Then so can anyone else."

oOo

Robin glared at the teacher while Starfire quietly worked for a long time. Starfire was wrong. Miss Angles was not friendly at all. Robin wasn't sure if it was just Starfire's definition of 'friendly', or the fact that Starfire was late that made the teacher so rash. He knew Starfire wasn't stupid. She'd know an evil woman when she saw one.

As Robin stared at her some more, he noticed a bump appear on the teacher's nose. He leaned closer to see if he really saw what had just happened. The bump began to grow larger and larger after each moment and while doing so her face tinted to a familiar green. Starfire was now looking up at her teacher in awe.

The number of eyes on her face multiplied next. Miss Angles' body expanded, and her neatly ironed dress tore in half. To Robin's relief, she was wearing something under the ripped dress, and she wore a blue apron. The teacher looked smugly at them.

She wasn't even finished her transformation when both Robin and Starfire simultaneously shouted, "Mother May-Eye!"

Mother frowned and looked at her appearance in the window. "Oh, poo. Someone must be meddling with Mumbo's wand," she said. "Mother will be back soon, children."

Mother May-Eye quickly flew out of the room and Robin and Starfire took no time to start following her with the same pace. As soon as they were out of the room, Starfire took Robin's hands in her own to carry him while she flew. Robin let go of one of her hands and reached in his utility belt for something to throw. He retrieved a bird-a-rang and threw it at the woman. Unfortunately it bounced off of her and nearly hit Starfire's head. Starfire didn't seem too upset about that because she had other things on her mind.

"I do not believe this," she said softly. "How could I have been fooled?"

"I would have been fooled too," Robin said, still astonished over the transformation. "Don't worry about it."

"You were right about the classes Robin," Starfire told him, and she landed while pulling Robin with her. "I feel so...stupid."

"But you're not," Robin said, "You wanted to be better at English, and you took advantage of it. I shouldn't have tried to stop you in the first place."

"And I shouldn't have tried to stop you from training our team."

"What do you mean?" Robin asked, trying to concentrate on his target before him. He had felt guilty about the training schedule since the first day when Beast Boy couldn't go to the movies.

"All of that training must have been able to prepare us to fight the Mother May-Eye...and I believe Mumbo as well today. If we had not trained so well, our performance would merely be...mediocre," Starfire explained.

Well, that made me feel better, Robin thought to himself, truthfully. "I guess that's a good point Star. Now let's get going even faster. We need to call the others and we've also got some catching up to do...with two villains apparently."

A/N: Next chapter…big battle scene coming up! I like how it's all the Titans together fighting villains once again, after a long time. Oh yeah…there are three chapters left, including this one. So sad. :(
