It was still early in the day, but nobody felt like doing anything. The TV stayed off. No alarms went off. Nobody wanted to play Stank-Ball, Cyborg and Beast Boy's favorite game, and nobody wanted to talk.
By about two o'clock, Beast Boy couldn't take it anymore.
"I'm bored!" he whined to everyone in the Tower at least twice. Everyone was becoming thoroughly annoyed with him when Robin had the ingenious idea that he should go cheer up Wren, who was sitting out on the beach again. "Great idea!" said Beast Boy, who traipsed down to the water to sit next to the depressed teenage girl.
"What's up, Wren?" he asked brightly.
"Not much. Just contemplating the meaning of life," she said.
"How far have you gotten?"
"The Answer is 42."
"What?
"Never mind," Wren said with a quirky grin. "So, they sent you to cheer me up, did they?"
"Yeah, cuz you looked pretty depressed sitting out here all alone for like three hours straight. It was making everybody feel bad. Plus I think I was annoying everybody to death." Wren laughed.
"Sometimes it is a useful skill to have," she told him.
"What? Annoying people?"
"Yep."
"Cool. So are you still going to stay here with us?" he asked. She looked up at him, puzzled.
"So you guys aren't going to kick me out? Even though I'm a…well, you know?"
"Why the heck would we kick you out? You're part of the team now, remember? Titans always stick together, no matter what," said Beast Boy.
"No matter what?"
"No matter what. And you're staying."
"Okay," said Wren, smiling again. "So what should we do? I'm getting bored out here."
"Go get ice cream? I've kind of been craving it today," replied Beast Boy.
"Right on! I've been craving ice cream too! Let's go!"
