Chapter 4 Cheese and Dominoes

"Let's get some food before we go anywhere else," Beast Boy said while grabbing onto Robin's arm and dragging him to the food court.

Robin yelled while being yanked, "Sure. Whatever you want." He knew fighting with Beast Boy's stomach was impossible. They got to the food court in a hurry and Beast Boy looked around while licking his lips.

"We can have nachos, pizza, or a sub sandwich," Beast Boy said to Robin as they walked past the crowd of tables and chairs to different lines for food. "What do you want, Robin?"

"I just had something with Raven," Robin said while shrugging his shoulders. "I'll pass."

"Nachos then!" Beast Boy said while coming to the line and it only took a few minutes to order. Beast Boy got his food and slushy and smiled over to Robin who just sighed and looked really bored. "I now need cheese," Beast Boy said while coming to the self-serve place.

"I don't think we should use that machine, BB," Robin said as they came up. The cheese machine was all rusty and looked like by the touch of a button would blow up. "We should find another one."

"What could happen?" Beast Boy asked while putting his nachos under the machine and pressing the green button. The machine whirled into life after a few tries. It started to have smoke come out from the top, and it was shaking all over. Beast Boy did not seem to notice, though. He had his eyes set on the hot melted cheese coming out.

"Turn it off and let's go," Robin said while glancing at the smoke. He knew his birthday was unlucky and wanted to get out of the way before the machine blew up or something bad like that could happen.

Beast Boy pressed the red button for it to stop but nothing happened, and the cheese kept coming out. Now Beast Boy's nachos were over flowing with cheese. Beast Boy kept pressing the button and the same thing happened...nothing. He gave a guilty smile over to Robin and slammed his fist onto the top of the machine.

BANG! SPLAT! The machine started to stutter then go out of control. Robin backed away with Beast Boy as they saw the top of the machine come off and cheese start to spray out.

"That does not sound good," Robin muttered to Beast Boy as the thing started to bounce around the shelf, still spinning cheese into the air.

Then the thing went haywire. It looked like a volcano exploding cheese everywhere. People screamed and ran out of the way of the hot cheese flying into the air. "RUN!" Robin yelled to Beast Boy as he grabbed his green friend's shoulder for him to move.

They started to run away but Beast Boy stopped and turned around while desperately saying, "MY NACHOS!"

"No, BB, stop!" Robin tried to stop his stupid friend from running back, but he was fruitless. Cheese splattered all around the food court and Robin saw Beast Boy grab his food and run back while shoving half of it into his big mouth. He caught up with Robin and they both took off to the second floor.

"Remind me to never get food with you again," Robin said to his friend as they spotted some police men point to them. They knew Beast Boy started the volcano of cheese, and he was going to pay if they did not ditch the police.

"We got to get out of here," Robin said to Beast Boy as he grabbed his arm and ran faster while dragging his friend with him. Really Robin thought it was fun ditching the cops, but it was still wrong. The whole nacho thing made Robin angry, though. This was not his day.


"This is perfect!" Cyborg said to Raven while pulling her over to him. She yelled as he grabbed her, and she gave him a glare but knew he just meant well.

"It is a comic book," Raven said blankly while she looked at the thing in Cyborg's hands.

"But not just some comic book," Cyborg said with a smile. "It is the 500th Spiderman comic book! Robin has been looking for this. He will love it!"

Starfire flew over and looked at the comic book with question. "I wish to know what is so important," she said to Cyborg. He frowned and knew girls would have no idea what this meant.

"Let's just get it," Raven said while shoving Cyborg to the counter where a punk guy was reading a newspaper and chewing some pink gum. He raised an eyebrow at them as Cyborg set the comic book down on the counter.

The guy at the counter blew a bubble and typed a few things on the register. He put the comic book in a bag and said, "Thank you for shopping here. Hope you have a nice day." It sounded like he had said this way too many times and it had no emotion.

It did not matter to Starfire, though. "I welcome you," she said with a smile. "I wish to know why that book is so important."

"Come on, Starfire," Raven said while grabbing her arm and started for the door. "It does not matter why the book is important."

Starfire got out of Raven's grip and while doing so, she bumped into Cyborg. He stepped backwards to get out of the way and hit into the metal shelf that held many comic books. Before anyone could do anything, the shelf fell backwards into the other shelf. All the Titans winced as it went like dominos till all the shelves in the store were on their sides.

The guy at the desk stared at the mess of comic books and up turned shelves. His gum fell out of his mouth and hit the floor as he pointed dumbly at his store and to the Titans.

"Opps," Cyborg said with a guilty smile down to Raven. She did not look all that mad though. She just stared at the mess as well and shook her head in shock.

"My boss is going to kill me!" the guy at the counter yelled in panic and started to scream like a girl while running around in a circle.

"Is this some dance from Earth?" Starfire asked her two friends as she watched the poor guy scream and run around. Before they could answer the alien girl, a door behind the counter busted open and a heavyset man ran out.

The punk guy screamed more when he saw the man and ran out of the store while screaming back behind him, "I'm sorry dad!" The guy watched his son run off into the mall in panic, and he glared over to the Titans with the meanest look in his eyes.

They gulped and turned around and ran for their lives once more that day. The manager took after them, but did not make it too far because he had too many donuts that day. He watched them keep running down the hall. They did not even look back as they went down stairs to the first floor.


"You better be happy," Robin muttered to Beast Boy as he sat across from him in a booth. They had run away from the cops and they went into a fancy sushi restaurant to let Beast Boy eat without getting a cramp.

Beast Boy just nodded from digging his face into his cheese infested nachos. Robin just looked off into space with a frown. He swiped a thing of cold cheese out of his jet-black hair and gave an annoyed sigh. This was turning out to be the worst birthday so far in his life.

Beast Boy looked up and saw that Robin still had a spot of cheese on his nose and he looked for a napkin to get it off. "Let me get us some napkins for us, Robin," Beast Boy said and stood up in the booth.

"No, BB!" Robin tried to warn, but it was too late. The table tipped and all the food splattered onto Robin's lap and face. He just thanked God that Beast Boy had his hands on the slushy before it hit his lap.

"Sorry!" Beast Boy said while leaning forward and pushing the table with him. The table slammed into Robin's stomach and knocked the air out of him. Robin got out of the booth and fell to his hands and knees while gasping for air.

"I'm so sorry, dude!" Beast Boy said while getting out of the booth. He tripped over his two big feet and his slushy flew into the air. The ice-cold blue slushy fell right on top of Robin's head and the ice chunks started to drip down Robin's face.

Beast Boy stood absolutely still. Robin gained his air back and slowly rose to his feet and grabbed napkins while glaring daggers at Beast Boy. "I hate birthdays," Robin muttered to himself as he headed for the restroom in the back of the room. Beast Boy watched him go in silence.

This was going to be a long day.

A/N: I thought it was funny. I cracked myself up while typing it. Poor Robin. My little sister had the whole cheese idea and it was not mine at all. The rest was mine, though. Please give a review!
