A Series of Unfortunately Awkward Events

CHAPTER THE THIRD; THE PERILOUS PARTY

Later, Raven was making tea with Beast Boy's teapot.

Starfire, who was making her lunch, asked, "Where did you get that particular pot in which you make tea, friend Raven? It is most suiting for you."

Raven poured her tea into a mug. "Somebody gave it to me." Starfire squealed.

"Joyous! Friend Raven, you have found the love!" She hugged Raven. "I am most delighted for you!" Raven turned red from embarrassment and lack of oxygen.

"Stop… hug... no... love..." Raven managed to grumble. Starfire stopped hugging her and looked at her curiously.

Raven sighed. "A friend gave it to me. Get it? Friend." Starfire smiled again.

"Who is the individual that is your friend that gave the pot in which you put tea in, friend Raven?" Starfire inquired.

Raven took a sip of tea. "Just Beast Boy." She shouldn't have said that...

"Eeeeeeeeee!" Starfire squealed. She hugged Raven, who was puzzled.

"I am overjoyed for you Raven! You have finally mended your friendship with Friend Beast Boy!" She exclaimed. "We shall do the feasting, the games of the party, and the refreshments of party!"

Raven pushed her off. "I am not having a party; he only gave it to me because he owed me a teapot"

Starfire ignored her. "I shall be back to the Tower in approximately thirty-eight minutes, twelve seconds, and fifteen milliseconds!" She flew out of the window, leaving a bewildered Raven.

Thirty-eight minutes, twelve seconds, and sixteen milliseconds later, Starfire flew back into the tower, carrying a few bags. "I am apologetic that I am not on time, I was the misplaced."

Raven groaned and glared at Starfire. "I said no party." Starfire disregarded Raven again and set up the decorations in the living room. Raven was tired of Starfire's defiance, so she used her powers, ripped up all of the decorations, and went to her room, leaving a heartbroken Starfire. Starfire flew out the window again...

Even later, about eight or so, Raven heard noise from the living room. Soon after, she realized the Titans were calling her. Sighing, she began walking to the aforementioned room.

A few seconds later, she heard them calling: "Raven! Beast Boy! C'mere!" (Or in Starfire's case, "Come to the here!") Beast Boy met up with her in one of the hallways.

"Whuh?" He asked her. She shrugged.

As they opened the door, the rest of the Titans yelled, "SURPRISE!" Beast Boy and Raven looked around at the room. It was decorated party-like.

Glaring, Raven said, "Do you remember what happened at the last party? Something about one of the worst days of my life?"

Cyborg shook his head. "Nah, this is diff'rent. This isn't a birthday party! It's a Booyah-you-guys-are-friends party!" Raven looked at the banners. They said, "Happy Booyah-you-guys-are-friends Party, Dawgs!"

"I assume Cyborg designed the banners?" Raven asked dryly.

Again, Raven was ignored. Beast Boy looked around. "Um, Dudes? What are we supposed to do at the party? Pin the tail on the donkey? 'Cause I'm against poking sharp pointy things into donkeys' butt."

Robin smiled. "We rented a Karaoke machine, and as the two main people of the party, you guys have to sing a song first!"

Beast Boy screamed and Raven melted Robin's 'oh-so-indestructible cape'.

"You guys either sing or you play spin the bottle," Cyborg said.

"Singing is good," Raven and Beast Boy said.

Starfire clapped. "Friend Robin, Friend Cyborg, and I have chosen the song. It is the 'Barbie Girl' by the Aqua!" Raven twitched. Maybe I should have stuck with spin the bott-

"NO!" She yelled. They thought it was in response to the song, but Raven was saying it to herself.

While Beast Boy and the rest of them argued, Raven battled mentally.

Hey! I know I wasn't the one who thought that!

Oh no. We've been caught, She heard sarcastically in her head. Her emotions!

Never. Again. Deal?

Raven never heard the answer, because she was being dragged onstage by Starfire. She thought she may as well not fight, or someone might pull out a bottle.

Reluctantly, Raven and Beast Boy grabbed their microphones and looked at the screen of the machine. The words formed on the screen and they began to sing:

Hiya, Barbie!

Hi Ken!

You wanna go for a ride?

Sure, Ken!

Jump in!

I'm a Barbie girl

In a Barbie world.

Life in plastic

Is fantastic!

You can brush my hair,

Undress me anywhere!

Imagination,

Life is your creation!

C'mon Barbie, let's go party!

As they continued singing, everyone looked at Raven, including Beast Boy, who, for some reason, knew the words to the song. Raven could… sing? Good? Everyone was shocked, and it showed on their faces.

Oh, I love you, Ken!

That was the end of the song. Raven pulled her hood up more and sat on a chair. "For payback, I'm calling all of you by your real names."

Robin grinned triumphantly. "You don't know them. They're hidden in the secret files."

She raised her eyebrow. "Oh, don't I, Little Richie?" Robin blushed and hid in a corner.

Cyborg laughed. "That was tight."

"Whatever you say, Vicky." (Short for Victor) Cyborg hid in another corner.

"Try not to throw me any more parties, okay Kori?" Starfire hid in a third corner.

Cyborg came out of his corner and pulled something off of a table. "Spin the bottle time!"

Beast Boy looked at him incredulously. "You said we wouldn't play it if we sung the song!"

He laughed. "I never said you wouldn't, just that you wouldn't play it then."

"Goodbye," Raven said, hiding her and Beast Boy in a black force field-thing and teleporting them somewhere else.

Cyborg scratched his head. "Now what?"

Robin grinned. "Get me four magnets and some super glue."

Elsewhere, Beast Boy and Raven appeared. Beast Boy looked around. "You're… allowing me in your room?"

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Soon, they'll give up and we can go back. For now…" She telekinetically locked the door. "…We wait." She sat on her bed and grabbed a book from under her pillow. Beast Boy pulled a comic out of his pocket and unrolled it. He walked by Raven's bookcase before sitting on her bed, reading also.

About half an hour later, she put down her book and sighed. "Beast Boy, how long, does it take you to read one comic book?" She peeked over his shoulder and gasped. Beast Boy had done the thing where you pretend you're reading one book, but you're hiding another behind it. Beast Boy was reading one of her books. One of the ones in Azarathian.

"Beast Boy, you can't read Azarathian, can you? You can't even read most chapter books!" She said. Beast Boy blushed.

"I can read hard books and read other languages… I just didn't want you guys to know." He said.

"Why?"

He scratched his head. "I can't remember." Raven sweatdropped.

"Anyway, it's probably safe to leave now, so…" She teleported them back.

A few seconds earlier…

Robin was holding two magnets and Cyborg was holding the other two. They had superglue on the back, which they avoided with their fingers. They saw a black void appear in front of them

"NOW!" Robin shouted. As soon as they appeared, he put one magnet on Raven's top lip and the other on her bottom lip. Cyborg did the same to Beast Boy. This shut both their mouths.

Oh no, now I can't talk to any— She thought sarcastically. She was cut off when Cyborg pushed her towards Beast Boy. The magnets began pulling towards Beast Boy and one thought went through her head: I HATE YOU.

The four magnets came together and a few lamps exploded. In case you are dim-witted, the magnets coming together made it look like Raven and Beast Boy were kissing.

They frantically tried to pry themselves apart, but Robin just said, "Super magnets." When they tried to pull the magnets off, Robin said, "Super glue." Then the other three Titans burst out laughing.

And, as if to put a metaphorical cherry on the metaphorical ice cream of embarrassment, a compartment came out of Cyborg's chest and he said, "Say cheese!" A bright flash filled the room and Raven tried as hard as possible to throw the three Titans out of the window, but she was too embarrassed/ freaking out to use her powers. She did manage to explode the couch near them, covering them with fluffy couch stuff. If you noticed, I haven't mentioned Beast Boy. That's because all he was doing was blushing, then he fainted for a split second. But the oddest thing is that the entire time, his eyes looked similar to when Terra was there… but no, that couldn't be true.

Raven grabbed a random piece of paper and pencil and wrote, "Separate us now or I'll get my own magnets for you." Immediately, Cyborg ran to his room and came back with a bottle of Goo-be-Gone.

Robin looked puzzled. "Why do you have that in your room?"

Cyborg looked at the bottle. "I don't know," He said, also baffled. Robin shrugged and grabbed the bottle and applied it to the magnets. Raven and Beast Boy tried to separate, but with no avail.

Looking at the back of the bottle, Cyborg said, "'Allow twelve hours for full effect.' You guys are stuck together for the whole night!"

Beast Boy came out of his trance, grabbed the paper and pencil out of Raven's hands, and wrote, "Dude, how are we supposed to sleep!"

Robin scratched his head. "Very carefully," He said. A black force came from Raven's direction and pinned Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg against the wall. Raven grabbed the super glue and glued them to the wall. She picked up the paper and wrote, "Then you three have to sleep carefully, too." She did put the Goo-be-Gone on the magnets, but they would still have to wait.

Robin blushed, along with Starfire. Raven intentionally put them side by side, to add insult to injury. Cyborg was red too, but that was because he was upside-down. To annoy them even further, she left the Karaoke machine on. It started playing on the song, "My Humps". Raven and Beast Boy walked out, turned off the lights, and left to the hallway.

Raven used her powers to write out black letters in the air that said, "I'm not staying in your room, so we're going to sleep in my room." She added the alphabet at the end. Beast Boy caught on and grabbed the letters, rearranging them again.

"You keep letting me in your room today. Weird." They awkwardly walked to her room, due to the fact that they had to walk sideways.

That night, no one in the tower slept much. Starfire and Robin kept glancing at each other, Cyborg would've slept, but to turn off, he would need his charger. Beast Boy and Raven were incredibly uncomfortable that they had to stare in each other's eyes all night.

The next morning, Raven looked at the clock. Seven twenty-nine. She looked back at Beast Boy, and, noticing he was asleep, levitated the alarm clock next to his ear. It rang, sending Beast Boy leaping. Forgetting about Raven, he fell over, so this time, Raven was on top of Beast Boy.

A while ago, Cyborg set up a hidden camera in Raven's room that would take a picture in any embarrassing situation. It took its first picture then.

They blushed for a few minutes before managing to get up. They walked back to the living room and saw the other Titans on the wall, the Karaoke machine still playing "My Humps" for the thousandth time. Raven turned off the music and everyone cheered.

Half an hour later, Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire fell off the wall. Robin landed on top of Starfire, causing even more blushing. Cyborg landed on his head and fell unconscious.

Raven dragged Beast Boy with her over to them and lightly pressed on Robin's head with her foot, making him kiss Starfire. With her foot still on them, she reached over and grabbed Cyborg's camera, taking a picture as she removed her foot, but Robin and Starfire stayed like that for a second before Robin jumped off of Starfire, as red as his costume. Starfire remained on the floor, blushing like mad.

Robin looked at Beast Boy and Raven and grinned. "You know, the super glue already wore off..." Beast Boy jumped back, and, lo and behold, he didn't drag Raven with him.

"Wahoo! No more Raven!" he cheered, then looked at Raven. "Oh, uh, not that I hated it... but not that I liked it either." He added, noticing Starfire giggling. Raven looked from Beast Boy to Starfire to Robin to Cyborg.

"...Awkward."
