A/N: With the help of some friends and my insane older sister I got my idea for the whole chapter. I don't own anything. Please read, enjoy, and most importantly...review!
Chapter 8 Blown Up Microwave and Where Did BB Go?
"What kind of pie does Robin like?" Beast Boy asked from the kitchen. Cyborg was in the living room hanging up a poster that said Happy Birthday on it for Robin.
"He really likes cheery, but why are you baking him a pie?" Cyborg answered while tying one end of the poster to a hook on the ceiling.
"Because I like pie," Beast Boy answered. Cyborg rolled his eyes and shook his head from where he was on the ladder in the living room of Titans Tower. "And I think it will be something different for him. You don't have to have a cake every birthday party you have."
"Yeah, but," Cyborg started while slowly stepping down the ladder. "I just think making a pie is a bit...out there, man. What ever happened to a cake?"
"I'm not baking a pie for him," Beast Boy shouted from the kitchen as he opened up the freezer and peeked in with a funny smile on his face. "I'm going to heat one up for him."
"Wait," Cyborg said while stopping in his tracks. "You've had pie in the freezer for how long?"
"Don't sweat, tin man," Beast Boy said. "Starfire and I went shopping two days ago and we got some pies. She thought it would be better than cake. I think she has some phobia for cakes now."
"I knew sending you two to the store was a bad idea," Cyborg muttered while moving the ladder to the other side of the room.
"What was that?" Beast Boy asked from the kitchen. He took the pie out and cut off the plastic over it.
"I did not say anything," Cyborg said with a tiny smile on his face. Beast Boy was so gullible sometimes. It was almost funny.
"Okay, dude," Beast Boy said while placing the pie in the tin fowl tray in the microwave. He closed the door to it and asked, "What do I set it to?"
"How should I know," Cyborg asked. He was thinking Beast Boy meant the oven. The microwave was no place for a pie. "Just set it to around maybe 15 minutes or something like that," Cyborg said with little thought.
Beast Boy shrugged his shoulders and pressed a button on the microwave. He had never heard all the stories of microwaves before. This was about to get ugly.
The tin fowl pan with the pie in it start to rotate on the little platform inside the microwave. Beast Boy stared into the little window watching it go around for a few seconds. Then...ZAP!
A big giant blue lightning flash went around the tin fowl inside the microwave and Beast Boy's eyes widened in wonder. Cyborg turned around when he saw the spark of lightning flash through the kitchen. He started to walk towards the kitchen, leaving the ladder behind him.
The lightning flew around the tin fowl at great speed and sparks flew all over the pie that was now in spoke and was black. Beast Boy was too stupid to think about taking it out and kept watching the dangerous light show in front of him. He had no idea what it could do.
"BB! NO!" Cyborg yelled as he came running into the room to see what was going on. Beast Boy had his eyes glued to the lightning in front of him with wide eyes. Cyborg rushed to the microwave to save whatever was left of the black pie sitting in there. He did not make it in time.
SPARK! BAM! BOOM!
The whole microwave exploded into bits and the black pie splattered all over Beast Boy's face. The remains of the microwave flew into the kitchen were on fire and crashed all around Cyborg, who had to dodge most of them. The whole kitchen burst into one big ball of fire, and the alarm went off as water sprayed down on the two.
Beast Boy turned around with his whole face black with crumbs of what looked like pie, but Cyborg was not too sure. Cyborg tried to keep a steady face and not laugh. But this was way too funny, if you X out the kitchen on fire, the microwave exploding, and Robin's birthday pie burnt to a crisp.
"Don't laugh," Beast Boy demanded. But this only made Cyborg chuckle a bit. "Don't even chuckle!" Beast Boy yelled and Cyborg put a hand over his mouth. "Next time...we get Robin a freaking cake!"
A beeping sound was heard from somewhere in the kitchen and Cyborg had to shuffle though a bunch of left over metal from the blown up microwave to find Beast Boy's communicator. He flipped his open and he saw the face of Raven.
"Get us out of here," she demanded with her monotone voice, but he hinted a bit of deep frustration in it.
"Be there right away," Cyborg said with a smile and then he hung up.
"How long do we have to wait here?" Robin asked as he sat down on one of the metal bars on the coat rake in JC Penny. Robin and Raven had gotten away from the police by hiding like a kid in one of the clothing racks. (The ones that go around and you can hide in them and play hide-and-go-seek when your mom is not looking. Yeah. That one!)
"He said he would come real soon," Raven answered while peeking out from a coat to see if the police were gone.
"It has been 45 minutes!" Robin almost yelled. He was ticked off now. His butt hurt from being pushed onto it so many times and from sitting on the metal poll, he was tired from being chased by the police, and Starfire was nowhere to be seen.
"Maybe they can't see us," Raven said.
"Then lets get out of here and search for them," Robin said while standing up. Raven shrugged her shoulders and followed Robin out. They both crept along the pathway to the front of the store and right away saw Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire all together looking for them.
Robin and Raven ran over to them quickly and the first thing said was, "You will not believe what Starfire got Robin!"
"No time for that, team," Robin said flatly. "We got other problems on our hands. Raven and I are wanted for no reason and the mall closes soon. We got to get out of here!" He was saying it like they were surrounded by Slade's villains at a dead end, but they all took it just as seriously.
They quickly went through the mall on the way out. But they had to pause for a few seconds because an elevator opened up and a rush of people came out. Beast Boy was somewhere other than there and for some reason thought they were all going into the elevator because they stopped near it, so he stepped inside.
Robin looked around and a flash of annoyance flew into his eyes. "Were is Beast Boy?" he yelled. They all turned around just in time to see Beast Boy running to the door inside the elevator as the doors were just shutting.
"NO!" they all screamed. But it was too late, and the doors closed right as Beast Boy ran up to them. They all winced as they saw his face smug up against the glass doors inside the elevator. It went only to the middle between the second floor and the first. The elevator was stuck!
"Can this day get any worse?" Cyborg asked while staring up at Beast Boy, still plastered to the glass doors with spit sliding down the glass.
"It can," Robin said with a nod like it was no big deal. "On one of my birthdays, Batman by mistake got caught in a tree and dropped his communicator so he could not call anyone to get him out."
Cyborg and Raven just stared at Robin for a moment. Starfire just kept her eyes on the elevator and her friend trapped in it. "What happened to him?" Raven asked. Robin looked over to her with a bit of surprise that she had wanted him to keep going.
"I spent the day looking for him. You know. All the bad luck stuff. Got hit with a baseball, scratched by a cat, hit by a mailbox,(don't know how that one happened but it sounded funny) and peed on by a dog." If his team was not so focused on Beast Boy at the moment they would have all laughed so hard. "Found him after a few hours and got stuck in there myself too."
Cyborg began to chuckle. Robin looked sternly over to him. Cyborg then began to laugh so hard his eyes started to tear up. Robin sighed deeply and looked back up to Beast Boy, who finally got his face away from the glass doors and was waving to them. Starfire waved back.
"Dude!" they could all hear their friend from way up. He was always loud enough for the whole world to hear. "I wonder if I can see the Tower from here." All the Titans rolled their eyes after he said this. Then Beast Boy screamed at the top of his lungs and pointed ahead. "It's the cops!" he yelled.
"Great," Robin muttered and turned around to see a bunch of cops coming right for them. "This is not going to end well," he said to his team and they just all nodded.
A/N: did you think it was funny? The whole microwave exploding was from my older insane sister who put some tin fowl in the microwave without thinking and sparks of lightning almost blew the whole thing up! Thank Bob my parents were not home. And please don't try that in your microwave. And don't put your cat in one too. I heard some guys talking about that and it was really gross. And please give a review!
