Chapter 3; Jack and the Bean Stock

"Yes, I also wish for the same," Starfire chirped.

"Can we go home yet? I am totally missing my show! Clash of the planets was on today," Beast Boy whined.

"I do not believe we will be going home soon," Starfire sighed.

Terra sighed. "I say as soon we get home, chase Raven down and torture her," she suggested, only half joking.

"At least we agree on something," Robin muttered.

Things started getting brighter, "Here we go again," Beast Boy sighed as he braced himself for the blinding lights.

Cyborg jammed his eyes shut and tried to look away but it was useless.

Starfire hid her eyes under her wing though snuggled in Robin's neck slightly. (haha, BB and Ter aren't the only flirts XD)

When the light died down, Cyborg looked up to see he was- human! woot! "Oh yeah!" his voice sounded heavier though.

"Dude!" Beast Boy wailed, flapping his new wings up and down. "I'm a goose!"

Cyborg looked down at BB and laughed. "Ha ha! ... Hey wait, now you're the shorty!" he pointed down and laughed.

Beast Boy rolled his eyes then waddled around before saying; "Aflac hey that's fun! Aflac!"

Starfire looked around to see she was standing next to a little cottage, wearing a long blue dress. "Friends?" she called out.

Terra had turned her head, closing her eyes to escape the blinding white flash of light. As she opened her eyes again, she found herself down a small road a little ways away from a small cottage. "AH!" she yelped. What was she wearing? First of all… She had a white shirt on under jean overalls. She looked at them for a moment before noticing her hair. Braided pigtails? THAT WASN'T RIGHT!

Robin had lifted one arm and closed his eyes, turning his head away. Once the light had subsided he opened his eyes. Well… he was still the same height… only he was wearing… farmer like clothes. Not only farmer like clothes- but farmer clothes that looked as they belonged to a younger boy.

Starfire looked around, "Where are we- EEE!" she screamed, jumping back after seeing Silkie in his new form.

The Silkie worm was about the size of a cow, and even had a cow bell.

"Silkie?" Starfire asked a bit unsurely at first, but the silk worm bit into the cottage. "Yes, it is you."

"Aflac!" Beast Boy quacked again.

"Shut up goosy," Cyborg said as he looked around, where were the others?

"Aflac! Dude this is fun!" Beast Boy said again as he flapped his wings up and down, though getting no air.

Cyborg rolled his eyes at his feathered friend before yelling out in a large booming voice. "GUYS! WHERE ARE YOU!"

"I think I gotta poop," Beast Boy twitched. Cyborg looked down at his friend with a raised eye brow.

"Thanks for sharing...?"

"Got a bathroom round here?" Beast Boy asked as he moved his head around, looking for a place to 'dump'.

"How am I supposed to know?" Cy asked.

"I dunno-" Beast Boy stopped when the urge left, he looked down. "Hey! Cool! An egg! ... Wait... I'm a boy I can't lay eggs!" he freaked.

"AHAHA! Now you're the sissy boy!" Cyborg laughed.

At that Robin cracked up into hysterical laughter. "You- Y-you j-just laid an e- an egg!" he laughed out, holding onto his stomach. Robin rarely 'cracked up', but this was one of those times to remember. "Sissy boy!" he laughed harder.

Terra looked around at hearing a few people. She could have sworn she heard Starfire and Cyborg a moment ago. And now someone who was laughing really hard. Sounded like Robin… "GUYS?" the confused blonde yelled out. "Where are you? And why am I alone?"

"Shut up," Beast Boy quacked before trying to cross his arms... er wings. But found it was a little hard for a goose to do so, so gave up and pouted with his head ducked down.

Cyborg heard his friends but didn't see them till a minute later, he looked down. Jeez these guys were like ants almost. "Hey little dudes!" he hollered as if they couldn't hear him right.

"Oww," Starfire moaned to herself, covering her ears with her palms. Cyborg's loud voice was hurtful- being so loud.

Silkie only hummed with pleasure as he ate another chunk of the stone cottage, finishing the straw roofing first.

"Hope we didn't need that," Beast Boy said, looking at the cottage. He then looked around, remembering Terra and thinking he might have heard her.

"Hey where's Terra?"

"I dunno," Cyborg shrugged.

"You're helpful," Beast Boy retorted up at Cy, who seemed to be able to hear them fine.

Robin's laughter finally ceased as he looked around for the blonde titan. He couldn't seem to find her anywhere though. "TERRA?" he yelled out to her.

Terra's hearing increased a little bit at the sound of her name. "ROBIN?" she yelled back. Was that Robin? "Is that you!" she called.

"Yeah!" he hollered back. "We're all at the cottage! Where are you?"

"Down the-" she started out in a yell. Why were they yelling? She reached for her pocket where her T-Com would usually be. Though she ended up pulling out a small pouch like thing. She opened it and found five beans. "Oh, that's helpful," she muttered. "I'M DOWN THE ROAD!" she yelled back to the other four Titans.

"Wonderful!" Starfire cried before turning around again to see half the cottage eaten. "Silkie, I do not think this house of stone and straw was to be your lunch..."

"HURRY AND GET YOUR BLONDE BUTT OVER HERE!" Cyborg yelled, though his yelling wasn't needed.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL!" Terra screamed, hands over her ears. She grumbled something inaudibly as she walked over to the small half eaten house. There was a small fence around it which she jumped over.

Once he saw Terra, Robin nearly busted into laughter again. Braided pigtails? That was too good.

Beast Boy looked at Terra and snickered. "Love the hair."

Cyborg looked down, man this was hard. He was about 15-20 feet tall for Pete's sake. So instead of having to look down at every one the Cyborg bent down so his butt almost touched the ground. His arms flopped over his knees as he got a good look at Terra, then laughed a loud strong one.

"Silkie, no please stop!" Starfire tried to pull the worm off by the cow bell collar, but it wouldn't work. Her powers didn't seem to be working. So the worm only stood there, ignoring Starfire and eating the house- er cottage. Or what was left.

Terra glared at the three boys. "Shut up," she said. She looked over at Cyborg. "Did we shrink… or did you grow?" she asked, obviously searching for change of subject.

Cyborg shrugged, "I grew I guess... anyone know a story that involves a giant?"

"I dunno, unless one was in a movie," Beast Boy quaked.

"Ever try getting your nose out of movies?" Cyborg snorted.

"No," Beast Boy snorted back. "Don't forget it was because of my TV watching I got us out of the last mess."

"Like that's going to help now," Cyborg rolled his eyes.

Robin looked around a little bit. Okay… Silkie was a cow… kind of. Starfire looked like… hmm… a mother maybe? Cyborg was obviously a giant. And Robin looked like he was dressed as an eleven year old. "Does anyone know a story with a mother, kid, giant, and a cow? And then these two," Robin jerked his thumb back at Beast Boy and Terra. A duck… and whatever Terra was.

"Goose, not duck." Beast Boy corrected.

"Look like a chicken to me," Cyborg teased.

"State your source!" Beast Boy ruffled his feathers.

Cyborg didn't answer instead he ducked lower as Starfire was swung in the air and to the other side of the field by Silkie.

"I dunno, maybe... Jack and the Bean Stock?" Cyborg asked, ignoring Starfire.

Beast Boy shrugged.

Terra got a dawning expression on her face. "That explains these," she pulled out the little maroon pouch and dumped the five beans into her hand.

"Well… that's settled," Robin said. "Jack and the Beanstalk it is."

"Soo... where is my castle!" Cyborg demanded much like a little kid. He stood up with crossed arms and a pouty face.

"Hey, does that mean I'm Cyborg's pet? Dude! I am nobody's pet!" Beast Boy repeated himself.

"In this you are," Cyborg smirked. "Quick, go get me a soda."

"And where am I supposed to get a soda?" Beast Boy retorted. "Where do you want me to get it? Pull it out of my-" he was cut off by Starfire walking over rubbing her head.

"Please, I know not of this Jack and bean stock..."

"It's simple really, Star," Robin said. "It's a children's story." He briefly told her the story in the shortest simplest possible way.

"Oh I see!" Starfire nodded her head in understanding. "But do we need the cottage as you call it?" she asked a bit unsurely.

"Well…" Robin looked at the half eaten cottage. "It's probably not needed," he said a little unsurely. "I'm sure we can get along fine with out it."

"Yeah, you got the mom, you got your giant, you got the beans for the beanstalk, you got your duck- I mean… goose, and your cow," Terra listed. "Not much else is needed. Oh, and we have our Jack."

"That is good..." Starfire said as all but the window and a small frame of the wall collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, look!" Terra said in mock happiness. "He even left the window for you to throw the beans out."

"Let's hope It doesn't rain," Robin muttered in a half annoyed tone.

Silkie hummed, saying he was full and happy before belching out a wad of straw on Robin.

"Aww, Silkie likes you Robin- er Jack." Beast Boy snickered.

Robin brought a hand up to wipe his face off. He flung the straw off of his hang and glared at Beast Boy. "Bug off, ugly duckling," Robin sneered.

Terra glared at Robin.

"Goose, GOOSE." Beast Boy stated. "G-O-O-S!"

"You spelled goose wrong," Cyborg snickered.

"When do we start?" Terra asked. "And how?" she asked, jumping up to sit on the fence.

"Let us start! For I wish to end this story of Jack and beans of stock." Starfire looked down at her dress then back up at her friends.

"Yeah, let's get on with it," Robin agreed.

Terra jumped down from the fence and handed the five beans over to Robin. "Okay, five 'magic' beans for your cow, take the beans home, plant them, blah blah blah, have fun."

"Way to jump right into it," Robin shot at her, quite sarcastically.

Starfire looked at Silkie. "We must give Terra our... cow now yes?" she asked.

"HEY! What about my castle! In the sky?" Cyborg demanded once more.

"It's there… somewhere," Terra assured, sitting down to watch the show now. She had no more part in this story.

"Okay…" Robin held the five beans in his hand. "So… what do I do now?"

"Give me the 'cow'" Terra reminded him.

"And Silkie is…?" Robin trailed.

"You lost my cow? Gimme those back then!" Terra was clearly only being a pain to Robin.

"C'mon Terra!" Cyborg whined. "Silkie's yours, just go find him."

"How about we give her a title deed or something?" Beast Boy suggested.

Cyborg shrugged then wrote in some dirt with his fingers: "Silkie the cow is Terra's from Robin and Starfire,"

"There happy?"

"Okay, okay, I'll stop." Terra leaned her back against the small fence to watch.

Robin shook his head slightly and came over to Starfire, handing her the beans. "Uhh… I guess you just throw them out the window or something…" he looked to the used-to-be house, now only one side of the frame and the window.

Starfire took the beans in her palm, looked at them then over at the window.

"Can we get any more pathetic?" Cyborg mused.

"Don't jinx us," Beast Boy mused back.

Starfire closed her hand over the beans then walked to the other side of the window. "Umm... be gone beans!" she shouted before throwing them to the other side.

"What now?" Robin asked, clearly lost on the whole idea.

"Now you go to bed and the next day there should be a HUGE bean stalk outside the window," Terra told him.

"We have to wait a whole day?" Robin asked in disbelief. The sound of a clock ticking rather fast was heard and the background behind them like the sky turned to night. As it turned back to day, all of the sudden there was a huge beanstalk as well as though someone had merely turned the pages.

"What a long day, I had a great sleep!" Terra sounded excited, but it was obviously sarcastic excitement. Robin blinked a few times, confused.

"I want breakfast!" Cyborg whined out.

"Yeah me too! We missed lunch and supper!" Beast Boy joined in the whining.

Starfire looked around then up at the bean stock. "Umm, what is it we are to do now?" she asked, still looking up at the giant twisted green vine like plant.

"I gotta go up there I guess, and wait for Jackie Chan over here to climb up and try to steal my duck" Cyborg said, now also looking up.

"Goose," Beast Boy corrected.

"Whatever," Cyborg remarked.

Robin frowned. "It's Jack! Wait… I mean Robin! It's Robin!" Terra was laughing at the group, clearly enjoying sitting this one out. Now if only she had her uniform back.

"Na, I am calling you Jackie Chan, deal with it," Cyborg smirked before asking. "So how am I getting up there?"

"Climb," Beast Boy snickered.

Cyborg's face dropped. "But!" he looked down at his friends. "You know how high that thing has to go? If the air pressuredidn't kill me- I'm sure the lack of oxygen will!"

"Dude, this is a fairy tail, climb it!" Beast Boy rolled his eyes.

"Are you afraid of heights or something?" Terra asked. "As Beast Boy said, this is a fairy tale, there's no logic, science, or math behind it! I'm sure that here, one plus to equals truck."

"No I am not afraid of heights but this can't be safe! Who wrote this story anyways!" Cyborg demanded. "Everything has to have some logic behind it," He muttered.

"Just climb the stupid vine so we can go home!" Beast Boy wailed.

"You first ducky," Cyborg grumbled.

"Goosy! No I mean goose! I'M A GOOSE! NOT A DUCK! GOOSE!" Beast Boy flapped his wings up and down.

"JUST CLIMB THE STUPID BEANSTALK!" Robin ordered them.

"Yeah! I wanna go home!" Terra whined. "The faster you two climb up to your little castle, the faster we can get home!"

Cyborg looked up at the bean stock and grumbled a few things under his breath before slowly starting to climb.

"Dude! What about the adorable little goose down here?" Beast Boy quacked.

"Fly," Cyborg yelled down as he slowly started climbing.

"Please do not fall to your deaths!" Starfire cried out.

"Oh I feel better," Cyborg mumbled.

"So… do I just wait for them to climb that thing?" Robin wondered.

"I guess," Terra shrugged.

"I'm tired of this! This is boring! I'm hungry! There better be food up there!" Cyborg whined as he climbed.

"You are supposed to eat Robin remember? Or try too... grind your bones to make my bread stuff." Beast Boy mused, he had flown up and perched himself on Cyborg's shoulder.

"Ooo, roast Robin bread! Sounds good," Cyborg hummed, jokingly.

Down on ground level, it was almost quiet. Terra was mindlessly staring at the beanstalk. "I still think we should hunt Raven down when we get out of here. Lock her in a book for hours on end."

Robin looked over at her. "Have fun trying," he told her.

"I do not wish to do such things to Raven," Starfire said a little defensively.

"Are we there yet?" Beast Boy moaned.

"Does it look like we're there yet?" Cyborg snapped.

"I dunno, you tell me,"

"Don't make me cook roast duck tonight," Cyborg mumbled.

"GOOSE!" Beast Boy screamed. A few minutes later Cyborg pulled himself up onto a cloud, weird... "The logic behind this is so unsteady." He complained as he walked towards the castle that stood a few feet away.

Terra leaned her head back now, staring at the sky. This was awfully boring. Maybe she could look at cloud shapes. Nothing better to do.

"Well, I'm going up," Robin announced. He made his way to the beanstalk and started climbing, though stopped. "Is there a faster way to do this?" he asked in pure annoyance.

"Please be careful!" Starfire called after Robin, she saw no quicker way up.

"Don't worry, I will be," Robin said as he continued climbing. It seemed to take forever. How big was this thing, anyways? He looked down after climbing for who know how long. He could barely see the house below. Or what was left of it anyways. He sighed and kept climbing. Finally his head popped through a cloud. Wait… weren't clouds made with water? Shouldn't his hair be soaking wet by now? Well… Terra was right about one thing- No logic here. He pulled himself up to step on another cloud, spotting the castle up ahead.

The doors to the small little castle (well for a giant,) flung open as Cyborg came in, a black eye patch on his left eye.

"Ar! Who goes there?" He shouted.

Beast Boy, still on his friends shoulder laughed. "Pirates are way better then giants and geese!" he then put on his best parrot voice and squawked.

"Yeah I agree," Cyborg nodded to BB.

Robin sighed and started down the little path towards the castle. Maybe he should give Raven extra training. That sounded good right about now.

"Aren't you supposed to say your line?" Beast Boy asked.

"I dunno if this is Jack and the Bean stock line though.." Cyborg said.

"Aww say it anyways!" Beast Boy urged.

Cyborg sighed before booming out. "Fee fie foe fump... aww this sounds dorky!"

"C'mon!" BB urged again.

Cyborg grumbled. "I smell the blood of a ... masked one!"

"Do you have to mix all the trade mark lines up?" BB asked.

"Sure do," Cyborg mused.

Robin came to the doors of the castle. He stepped through the one that was left open and looked around.

Cyborg looked around, "Hey where did Robin go?" he asked.

"I dunno, you weren't paying attention! I GOT SOME DUDE NAMED JACK AFTER ME AND YOU WERN'T WATCHING HIM!" Beast Boy shrieked.

"You wouldn't stop talking to me! I was distracted!" Cyborg snapped.

"Sure! Blame it on the duck!"

"Goose," Cyborg smirked.

"Guys?" Robin yelled. "C'mon, where are you? I wanna get this over with! Beast Boy? Cyborg?" he yelled. Okay, so in the real situation, you probably wouldn't call out to the giant who's trying to eat you. But this was different.

"Robin?" Cyborg questioned as he looked around.

"He's coming for me! QUICK HIDE ME! I DON'T WANT TO BE KIDNAPPED!" Beast Boy cried out.

"Knock it off goosy." Cyborg rolled his eyes.

Robin headed for another door and stepped outside, quickly spotting his giant friend and the goose. "Hey!" he called up to them, walking over.

"Don't call me goosy," Beast Boy snorted.

"I'll call ya what I want to-" Cyborg looked down. "Oh hi Robin!" he smiled.

"KIDNAPPER! CALL THE POILICE! ALL THE FBI! CALL THE TEEN TITANS!" Beast Boy flapped his wings up and down.

"Beast Boy," Robin started. "Shut up." He looked back at Cyborg. "Hi. Can I have the goose now so we can go home?" he asked, his voice flat.

"Don't sell me out Cyborg! Don't do it! I'm too young to be treated like this!" Beast Boy wailed out.

Cyborg threw the eye patch to the floor, bored of it then looked from Beast Boy to Robin. "Hmm, I dunno..."

"Cyborg don't do it buddy! Who knows what torture Robin has for me!" Beast Boy wailed on.

Robin sighed, clearly beyond annoyed. "Look, as soon as you hand over the goose, the sooner we can go home to our- Meat. Filled. Fridge." He said each word slowly and clearly. "And waffles too."

Cyborg looked back at Robin, "Ooo, you know Jackie Chan has a good point," Cyborg hummed.

"What! You're selling me out like that! I'm telling Terra!" Beast Boy whined before feeling a strong hand grab him.

"Go ahead Goosy Lousy," Cyborg laughed before handing the goose down to Robin. "Now go home to your mama boy!" he laughed.

Robin looked up at Cyborg, grinning. "Thanks Cy," he said. "And she's not my mother," he said. He started walking off with the Goose.

"Oh yeah sorry, she's your girl friend. SORRY I FORGOT FOR A MOMENT!" Cyborg then busted into laughter.

"You wait till I call animal cops on you, kidnapping me! The nerve!" Beast Boy protested.

Robin stopped dead in his tracks, his eye twitched and vein throbbed as his heart skipped a beat and then beat faster then before. "She's. Not! My. Girlfriend!" Once again, he said each word clearly. WHEN WOULD THEY LEARN STARFIRE WAS NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND?

"Keep telling yourself that Robin. But I picture in a few years your gonna have a mini van instead of a bike for all the little half aliens" Cyborg fell over laughing- making a large BOOM sound

Robin could have sworn he felt his heart leap into his throat. He couldn't seem to find his voice. "I- you- she- me- Her? And me? As in us? Li- Little WHAT?" Robin's face was red, either with anger, embarrassment, or both.

Cyborg put his hand on his forehead and continued his laughter- Beast Boy soon joined in.

"You heard me, in a few years the towers gonna be full of little black haired half aliens," Cyborg laughed out, gasping for breath for a minute then breaking into laughter once more.

Robin couldn't believe this! Was he hearing this wrong? He couldn't even tell Starfire he liked her. How could he- "This discussion is over! I'm leaving!" Robin announced, pulling Beast Boy off with him, attempting to ignore the laughter while his face burned and his heart continued racing.

Cyborg kept laughing, though stood up and followed Robin. "Yep I see it now! And all your little butt heads will be playing with all the little blonde changelings!"

Beast Boy was laughing but then started choking on it. "Whaaaaaaaaaat!"

"There will NOT be any little black haired aliens running around, trust me on that one!" Robin snapped. "Though I can see the little blonde changelings running around causing non-stop trouble and pulling pranks."

"Oh, so you think your kids will have red hair like their mom?" Cyborg choked on his own laughter.

Beast Boy glared at his two friends, not really sure what to snap back at them.

"Oooo, lookie our little goose isn't objecting!" Cyborg laughed.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Beast Boy snapped in an annoyed tone. "You're crazy!"

"So I've been told," Cy smirked.

"You're BEYOND crazy! I wouldn't- She wouldn't! We would not! That's just-" Robin was at a loss for words.

"Just life," Cyborg ended for him with more laughter.

"RAVEN! Cyborg's being mean!" Beast Boy cried out.

"C'mon, lets just hurry this up, I'm getting hungry," Cyborg whined.

Robin seemed to be muttering and grumbling all the way down the beanstalk. That had to be one of the worst, most embarrassing conversations in his life. The climb down seemed to go by a lot quicker then the climb up. Robin's foot touched the ground and he let go of the bean stalk with his hands.

Once Beast Boy caught sight of the two girls and giant silk worm a little ways off he started screaming. "TERRA! STARFIRE! Help! Robin is kidnapping me for something!"

Cyborg slid down, resisting the urge to scream- WEE all the way down. But he finally touched the ground as well. "That was... fun."

"Beast Boy, its part of the story," Robin told him in still a slightly annoyed tone.

Terra jumped up, pointing a finger at Robin. "Unhand that du- goose!" she corrected herself before saying 'duck'.

"Yeah! un-hand me the cute annoying green goose!" Beast Boy said, wiggling.

Starfire yelped with joy as she ran over to the others. "Robin! Cyborg Beast Boy! You are done yes? We may go yes?" she asked at once, her hands curling up together in eagerness.

"Not just yet," Raven's voice rang out again.

"WHAT?" Terra wailed. "Why not? We behaved. Right?"

Robin moaned. This was not how he planned on spending today.

"Why not?" Beast Boy copied Terra.

"Raven! I'm hungry," Cyborg wailed

"Why not?" Raven asked. "As much as I enjoyed it, the teasing was a little over the edge," she smirked, her way of saying she'd heard it all, and laughed about it too.

"Wait… so you're keeping us here just because they had a little teasing fight?" Terra whined.

"Little?" Raven asked. "Trust me, you're better off not knowing." That line merely confused Terra.

"But…" she started. This was so unfair!

"Aww c'mon Raven! Robins going to punish me for that enough! This isn't right!" Cyborg pouted.

"What's not right is me having to sit through YOUR constant fighting! Personally, I'm sick of it. This is simply… a lesson. The quicker you learn it, the quicker you come home."

"You know there's two hours of extra training behind this," Robin grumbled angrily though wasn't sure he really meant it. Maybe they did deserve this.

"Oh yeah, this all makes me just want to perk up and be mister nice guy," Beast Boy muttered in a sarcastic tone.
