Me-Hola folks! Sorry about the wait...again. I was on vacation.
Jake-Ooh! Where?
Me-At my grandpa's hunting lodge in Upper Pennsylvania.
Jake-Gasp! You hunt! (Looks teary-eyed.)
Me-No! I wouldn't hurt a fly! Maybe a fly...they're annoying. And maybe another human if he/she piss me off enough...
Jake-Phew.
Me-OoO! Chapter Seventeen!
Chapter Seventeen-Home Sweet Home
Billie, Damien, and Robin came out of the lake shivering.It was cold, in the dead of winter, not to mention. Those poor boys walked for a few days without food or water, until they got the bright idea to hitchhike. As the cars wizzed by every half-hour or so, something was happening to Billie.
"I'm sure someone's going to pick us up eventually," he said in a much deeper voice. Then he realized, "Wait. Is that my voice? Is that MY voice? Score! I hit puberty!" Damien and Robin laughed for a moment, then went right back to hitchhiking. A taxi stopped suddenly in front of them.
"Crap! I don't have any money!" Robin exclaimed.
"No problem! My treat," Cyborg said, rolling down the window.
"Cyborg! Where's the T-car?" Robin asked.
"Left it in New York."
"Huh?"
"I'll explain later," he told him. The three boys hopped in the taxi as Cyborg scooched over.
"Hey, can we get some music in here?" Billie asked hopefully.
"I only listen to classic rock," the taxi driver responded.
"That's cool," Damien said in awe. The driver switched on the radio just as a ballad began to play.
"Ooh. Perfect song," Robin complemented.
"Since when did Motley Crue become classic rock?" Billie joked. Then he began to sing, "You know I'm a dreamer, but my heart's of gold. I had to run away high, so I wouldn't come home low."
"Just when things went right, it doesn't mean that they were always wrong. Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone," Damien followed.
"Take me to your heart, feel me in your bones. Just one more night, and I'm coming off this long and winding road," Robin belted out. Then the three sang, "I'm on my way. Well, I'm on my way, home sweet home. Tonight, tonight, I'm on my way. I'm on my way home, sweet home!"
"You that I've seen, too many romantic dreams. Up in lights, falling of the silver screen," Billie started again.
"My heart's like an open book, for the whole world to read. Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams," Damien followed once more.
"I'm on my way. Well, I'm on my way home, sweet home! Tonight, tonight, I'm on my way, just set me free, home sweet home!" Robin continued. They all finished the song (save Cyborg), "I'm on my way. Well, I'm on my way home, sweet home! Tonight, tonight, I'm on my way, just set me free, home sweet ho-me!"
"All right!" Cyborg applauded, then wondered aloud, "Any chance we can get some rap music on?" He soon felt everybody's glares on him.
"Raven, what are you doing?" Terra asked as Raven typed into the main computer.
"I'm turning on everybody's trackers to see where they are," she answered firmly.
"It's about time! Why didn't you do it before?" Terra shouted.
"I was in a complete careless state! Leave me alone!" Raven yelled. Terra giggled and said, "So, where is everybody?"
"This is weird. Everyone is heading towards the Tower."
"Whaddya mean?"
"Starfire is walking home from the cemetery, Beast Boy is running home from...a club. Robin and Cyborg are in a moving car. That's odd."
"When will they be home?"
"Right about...now," Raven concluded as the doorbell rang.
Jake-Wow. This is going to be interesting.
Me-Yeah. Everybody's story intertwines in the next chapter.
Jake-Nice.
Me-Did I mention there's going to be three songs?
Jake-Awesomeness! Bring on the next chapter! Hurry!
