Raven was trapped in a cage thanks to Slade, forced to sing for him.
"Nobody knows the trouble I've seen. Nobody knows my sorrow." Sung Raven.
"Come now Raven, try a song not so depressing. Try one with a little bounce in it." Suggested Slade.
"When there's trouble you know who to call...!" Raven sang/threatened. (A/N:LOL! You people have no idea how long I've waited to type those words.)
"NO! Not that! Anything but that!" said Slade.
Raven sighed. She knew what she had to do…unfortunately.
"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, twiddly dee, there they are a standing in a row. Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head." Sung Raven.
Slade just sat back and enjoyed the music/torture of Raven.
"Oh I never had to do this sort of thing when Nightwing was around…" said Raven.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" shouted Slade.
He stormed over to Raven so despite the cage he was face to face with her. Raven didn't even move an inch.
"You heard me." Said Raven.
"You know the law: Never, ever mention THAT name in my presence. I…am…the KING!" shouted Slade.
"Oh yeah, and so far you've done a real Cracker Jack job of it." Said Raven sarcastically.
Slade was about to threaten her when he was interrupted by the three stooges…I mean Hive members!
"Hey boss!" shouted Gizmo.
"Oh what is it you three want now?" asked Slade.
"We got a stinking bone to pick with you!" said Gizmo.
"I'll handle this Giz…Slade, there's no food and no water…" said Jinx.
"Yeah, it's dinner time, and we aint got no stinkin entrees!" said Gizmo.
"It's the women's job to do the hunting…" said Slade.
"But they won't go hunt. And that stupid blonde dirt clod left so we can't take it out on her!" said Gizmo.
"Yeah, I love the way she cries and mumbles about that stupid little grass stain in her sleep." Agreed Jinx.
"Oh beat up Raven." Said Slade.
"Just try it!" said Raven as her hands were surrounded in a dark aura.
"Aw she isn't any fun, her spirit is still in tact! Beating her up wouldn't be any fun!" said Gizmo.
"Oh don't be ridiculous. It'd be three against one, you'd obviously win." Said Slade.
"Perhaps later." Said Jinx.
"Man, and I thought things were bad under rasen frasen Nightwing." Mumbled Gizmo.
"What was that?" demanded Slade.
"I said Night…"
However before Gizmo could finish Jinx elbowed him.
"I said uh…fighting? Yeah fighting! Me and snot bucket over there were fighting earlier!" said Gizmo motioning to Mammoth.
"Good. Now get out." Said Slade.
"Yeah, but…we're still hungry." Said Gizmo.
"OUT!" shouted Slade.
They run off with Mammoth laughing crazily the entire way.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy and laying in the grass when Beast Boy lets out a loud belch which could be heard through out the jungle/Jump City.
"Whoa, nice one Beast Boy." Said Robin.
"Thanks. Man, I'm stuffed." Said Beast Boy.
"Me too. I ate like a dude with a metal stomach." Said Cyborg.
"Cyborg…you DO have a metal stomach." Said Beast Boy.
"Oh. Right." Said Cyborg.
The three sigh deeply in unison and look up into the starry sky.
"Robin?" asked Cyborg.
"Yeah?"
"Ever wonder what those sparkly dots are up there?" asked Cyborg.
"No I don't. Not now, not ever." Said Robin getting himself a bit more comfortable.
"I always thought that they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away." Said Cyborg.
"With you, everything is gas. What about you Beast Boy."
"Well…nah forget it." Said Beast Boy.
"Aw come on. Give, give, give .. Well, come on, Beast Boy, we told you ours…pleeeeeeeese?" asked Cyborg.
"Come on, come on…give, give…" said Robin.
"Well…okay. Sigh. Somebody once told me that the great kings of the past are up there, watching over us." Said Beast Boy.
"Really?" asked Cyborg.
"You mean a bunch of royal dead guys are watching us?" asked Robin.
There was a moment of silence for a little while…but then Robin and Cyborg bursted with laughter. Beast Boy faked a laugh that was supposed to be obvious.
"What idiotic, stupid moron told you something like that?" asked Robin.
(A/N: Wonder if he knows he's insulting a future version of himself.)
"Yeah. Heh. Heh. Pretty dumb huh?" asked Beast Boy.
"Oh, for once you actually made us laugh on purpose!" said Robin.
Beast Boy just sighed and walked away depressed.
"Was it something I said?" asked Robin.
Beast Boy walks out on a ledge and looks up at the stars. He collapses on the edge to lay down, but unbeknownst to him milkweed floss is stirred into the air by said flop. The milkweed floss crosses the dessert until The Beast Within snatches it out of the air with his hand. He sniffs it, grunts, and bounds down into his tree. He pours the milkweed into a black mirror and sifts it around. After a closer examination his eyes widened with realization.
"Beast Boy?" he said in a very gruffy voice. "He's-He's alive? He he-he's alive!"
He laughs to himself as he picks his staff and some paint on the wall. He leaps over to the smeared picture of Beast Boy and uses his thumb with green paint to make his hair longer and on end.
"It is time!"
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Cyborg had wondered off from Robin and was now stalking an evil jaw breaker. It thought it spotted him for a second but Cyborg hid behind a tree. He tries to leap over a log to get the jaw breaker but gets caught in some vines. He hears some rustling in the tall grass behind him and looks over his shoulder.
"Robin?"
He just looks around and shrugs. He breaks free from the vines and continues to follow the jaw breaker.
About five seconds later he's being chased by a blonde girl on a floating rock.
"I'm going to take you apart and sell your parts for food!" said the girl.
As Cyborg ran he shot his sonic cannon at her but she kept dodging. Spiked rock flew at him as he ran to avoid the girl. Unfortunately he never saw the quick sand in front of him and fell right in. Luckily Robin had managed to find Cyborg and ran up to him.
"Cyborg! What's going on?" asked Robin.
"I'm sinking in quick sand, and some blonde girl wants to take me apart! WHAT DO YOU THINKS HAPPENING?" shouted Cyborg.
Robin pulled out his bow staff to get Cyborg out Robin said "Why do I always have to save your metallic…"
The blonde was about to throw more spiked rocks at them when a green lion tackled her off her rock with a big roar. The two then began a Titanic fight as Robin and a sinking Cyborg watched.
"Get her! Bite her head!" shouted Robin.
"Go for the jugular. The jugular!" shouted Cyborg.
"Knew having a changeling around wouldn't be such a bad idea." Said Robin.
She made a giant rock hand come out of the ground and grab Beast Boy. But he changed into a gorilla and broke free pinning her to the ground. However, the girl made two pillars of rock to throw the gorilla off her, these same pillars pinned him down as he changed back to normal. The girl floated over to him on a rock looking like she was ready to continue the fight. That was when BB saw her face.
"Terra?" asked Beast Boy.
The pillars immediately came off him and Terra got off her rock to look at him better. Beast Boy got up and walked over to her.
"Is it really you?" asked Beast Boy.
Terra was a little scared that this person knew who she was.
"Who are you?" asked Terra.
"Dude, it's me. Beast Boy." Said Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy?" asked Terra. She squints her eyes to get a better look and then she got really excited. "WHOAH!".
"Aaah! How did you... who... wow... this is cool... it's great to see you..." said Beast Boy.
"Well how did you... where did you come from... it's great to see YOU..." said Terra.
"Hey, what's going on here?" asked Robin.
Unfortunately neither Beast Boy nor Terra could hear them. They were too busy being excited to see each other again.
"Hey, what do you say we butt heads just like the good old days?" suggested Beast Boy.
"Sure!" said Terra Happily.
"Head butt!" shouted both right before they butted heads.
However it was very painful and they were now staggering trying to regain their balance.
"Wow, that really hurt." Said Beast Boy.
"Yeeeeeep. Just like the good ol days." Said Terra.
"HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" shouted Robin.
"Robin, this is Terra. She's my best friend." Said Beast Boy.
"Friend? SHE TRIED TO TAKE APART CYBORG!" shouted Robin.
"Yeah, speaking of who…er I mean whom. Whatever. Cyborg! Get your metallic butt over here and meet Terra!" shouted Beast Boy.
Cyborg shot his metal hand onto a branch and pulled himself out of the quick sand.
"Why didn't you do that in the first place?" demanded Robin.
Cyborg just shrugged and held out his hand to Terra.
"Please to meet ya little lady." Said Cyborg.
"Terra, this is Cyborg. Cyborg, Terra." Said Beast Boy.
Terra shook his hand.
"How do you…Whoa! Whoa. Time out! Let me get this straight. You know her. She knows you. But she wants to take him apart. And everybody's …okay with this? DID I MISS SOMETHING?" shouted Robin.
"Relax Robin." Said Beast Boy.
"Just wait till everybody finds out you've been here all this time! And your mother…what will she think?" asked Terra.
Beast Boy's face suddenly turned serious. (A/N: Sounds like an oxymoron I know but go with me on this)
"She doesn't have to know. Nobody has to know." Said Beast Boy.
"Well of course they do. Everyone thinks you're dead!" said Terra.
"They do?" asked Beast Boy.
"Yeah. Slade told us about the stampede." Said Terra.
"He did? Well…what else did he tell you?" asked Beast Boy.
"What else matters? You're alive. And that mean... omg…that means you're the king." Said Terra.
"King? Listen, lady I think you've got the wrong shape shifter." Said Robin.
"King? I gravel at your feet." Said Cyborg.
He knelt down on one knee and kissed BB's foot.
"Ew! Duuude! Stop it!" said Beast Boy.
"Cyborg it's not 'gravel.' It's 'grovel'. Check your circuits. And Beast Boy's not the king…are you?" asked Robin.
"NO!" said Beast Boy.
"Beast Boy?" said Terra.
"No, I'm not the king dude. Maybe I was gonna be, but…that was a long time ago." Said Beast Boy.
"Let me get this straight. You're the king? And you never told us?" asked Robin.
"Look, I'm still the same guy." Said Beast Boy.
"But it would've been nice to know!" said Robin.
"Could you guys…excuse us for a few minutes?" asked Terra.
"Hey, whatever you she has to say, she can say in front of us. Right Beast Boy?" asked Robin.
Beast Boy looked at Terra and saw that she really wanted to talk in private.
"Maybe you'd better go." Said Beast Boy.
Robin sighs and starts to walk off.
"It starts." Said Robin.
"You think you know a guy…" said Cyborg.
As Robin and Cyborg walk off Beast Boy sighs.
"Robin and Cyborg. You learn to love'em." Said Beast Boy.
Beast Boy then noticed Terra with her head bowed sadly.
"What? What is it?" asked Beast Boy.
"It's like your back from the dead. You don't know how much this will mean to everyone….what it means to me." Said Terra wiping away a tear.
"Hey, it's going to be okay." Said Beast Boy.
Terra wrapped her arms around his neck to his surprise. (think when Raven hugged him). And yet he did not resist, something about it felt…right.
"I've really missed you." Said Terra.
"I've missed you too." Said Beast Boy.
It had taken him a moment but now he was returning the hug.
Meanwhile in a bush Robin and Cyborg were watching the whole thing.
"Man this stinks!" said Robin.
"Sorry man. My exhaust pipe has been acting up lately and…" said Cyborg.
"Not you! Them! Him. Her. Alone." Said Robin.
"So what's wrong with that?" asked Cyborg.
"Do I really have to spell it out for you?" asked Robin.
"Yeah, I don't see your point." Said Cyborg.
"Sigh. I can see what's happening." Sung Robin.
"What?" asked Cyborg.
"And they don't have a clue!"
"Who?"
"They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line…our trio's down to two."
"Oh….That's what you mean." Said Cyborg now starting to get depressed.
"Ze sweet caress of twilight. There's magic everywhere, and with all this romantic atmosphere…DISASTER'S IN THE AIR!"
Beast Boy and Terra are now in front of a waterfall.
Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings. The world, for once, in perfect harmony. With all its living things.
After walking around with each other, they both cup their hands and begin to have a drink.
While drinking, Beast Boy sung/thought 'So many things to tell her, but how to make her see. The truth about my past? Impossible! She'd turn away from me.'
Now while Beast Boy was thinking that, Terra was having some thoughts of her own. 'He's holding back, he's hiding. But what I can't decide. Why won't he be the king I know he is, the king I see inside?"
Beast Boy had now walked off. He soon came back swinging on a vine and did a cannon ball into the lake as a gorilla. Luckily Terra got up a wall of rock to take the splash headed towards her. She now put down the wall and didn't see Beast Boy anywhere. She noticed some bubbles raising to the surface of the water and leaned in to take a closer look. But suddenly a green octopus arm shot out of the water and puller her in.
She soon came out completely drenched breathing hard. She also had a look on her face as if to say 'MAN that water was too cold!'
Beast Boy soon came out of the water and Terra playfully pushed him back in.
Can you feel the love tonight? The peace the evening brings. The world, for once, in perfect harmony. With all its living things.
Beast Boy now tackles Terra down a hill just like the old days but this time Beast Boy wounded up on top. Beast Boy was about to whoop and holler about finally beating Terra when she kissed him on the check. Beast Boy's jaw drop and he looked at her surprised. She just gave him a seductive smile. (A/N: that doesn't sound right for a kid's movie.) Beast Boy then went from surprised to comprehensible and started to hug Terra.
Can you feel the love tonight? You needn't look too far. Stealing through the night's uncertainties. Love is where they are.
Back with Robin and Cyborg, the two looked like they were about to cry.
"And if he falls in love tonight, it can be assumed…" sung Robin.
"His carefree days with us are history." Sung Cyborg.
"In short our pal, is doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed! WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Cried Robin and Cyborg.
