Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans. I asked for them for Christmas, but all I got were some stupid video games.
Okay, some of you have expressed concern towards the pairings of this story. I cannot say how annoyed I am with it. There are NO pairings for this story. I do not intend on making an entirely romance fic! I will try to include hints of the major pairings such as, RobRae, RobStar, and BBRae, and you can interpret those hints as you wish. But trust me, there will be no "I just realized… I have always loved you." or anything like that. So please, don't complain about the pairings. It's just stupid and pointless.
Anyway, here's chapter 9! Get ready for some revelations concerning the curse.
Chapter 9
Raven and Starfire were not enjoying being Robin's personal servants. The night before, they, at his request, gave him a footbath, pedicure, washed his laundry, and sang lullabies to him before he slept. Today, he wished for them to join him to the mall.
"Please?" he begged with puppy dog eyes. "I need someone's opinion on what outfits I should buy."
"But wouldn't that mean following you into the fitting rooms?" Starfire asked.
"Exactly," he answered smugly, only to have both girls slap him and call him a pervert.
"Hello? Personal servants!" he pointed out.
They groaned.
"And precisely how are we going to get there?" Starfire asked.
"We'll take my R-Cycle," he answered. "But only one of you can ride. Who wants to?"
"Starfire does," said Raven.
"Raven does," said Starfire. The two had said it simultaneously.
"Hm…" said Robin. "This will be tricky." He closed his eyes. "Eeny, meeny, mynee, moe!" He opened his eyes. "Raven! It's your lucky day!"
"Not really," she mumbled.
"And Starfire, you'll be following behind, right?"
"Of course," she said, while trying to suppress a giggle. Raven would have to deal with Robin's current lecherous state. "Funny."
A few minutes later…
Starfire couldn't help but laugh at the sight in front of her. Robin and Raven were arguing about the most trivial things.
"You have to hold on to me tightly!" he stated firmly. "Otherwise, you'll fall off!"
"No, you're just saying that because you want a nice hug…"
"Fine! Be that way! Lose your balance!"
"I can balance myself fine, thank you," she replied back as she climbed on.
When they were finally on the road, Robin made a sharp, swerving turn, causing Raven to lose her balance and grab onto him tightly.
"Why, Raven," he said sarcastically, "I never knew you felt that way about me."
"Shut up" she said to him.
When they finally got to the mall, Starfire's eyes widened at the sight of her favorite, okay, well only the favorite when she was in this state of mind, store. "Raven, you and I are going to spend some quality time shopping at..."
"American Eagle!" Raven squealed and finished for her.
"Oh, no no no no," Starfire said. "We're going… here," she paused for a dramatic effect.
"Oh god! No way! The people in there creep me out! And the clothing is so… blah!" She clung on to Robin's arm. "Robin, don't you think that American Eagle is more suited to me rather than this place?"
"Of course I do, Raven!" he said. "In fact, I'm going there now. Wanna come?"
Realization hit Raven as she heard him say that. "You know, actually the clothing in here isn't all that bad. Coming Starfire!" she shouted as she ran after her friend.
He shrugged his shoulders and walked off.
"Here Raven, try this on," Starfire said as she handed her a shirt.
"I'm not wearing that!" she whined. "It's way too big for me! And I've never even heard of the Ramones!"
"Too bad. Because you're getting it, and… oh perfect," she mumbled.
"Starfire? What's wrong?" she turned around to see who Starfire was looking at. "Oh my god! It's…"
"Sshh!" Starfire said as she covered Raven's mouth and pulled her down to eavesdrop. They listened intently to hear the conversation between the two people.
"And you should see those Titans now, Kikyou," came a familiar voice.
"Jinx…" Starfire whispered. Raven's eyes became wider at this.
"Really? How bad are they?"
"Oh my god, Kikyou, you should take a look at them. The creepy chick has gone all preppy. The idiotic green dude has become smart. The alien girl actually speaks in a language we all understand. And Robin's all of a sudden become a cocky, perverted jerk who believes he's a rapper."
"Wait, what about the other one?" Kikyou asked.
"Whoa! He's, like, the worst of all. He's become a total wimp and has resorted to making friends with inanimate object."
"Oooh, you guys got them bad," she observed.
"Yeah, I know," she said proudly. "And with them in this current state, they're hopeless! No one will get in the way of the HIVE Five now!"
"Uh, you do realize that there are six of you, right?" Kikyou asked.
"Oh whatever!" Jinx exclaimed in frustration. "Point is, the we'll be able to do whatever we want without anyone stopping us."
"Hm… I see," Kikyou said.
"Great," said Jinx. "So, how much does this ring up Kiks?"
"That'll be…" she showed Jinx the total cost on a piece of paper.
"What the hell!" she screamed. "That much for a teeny bit of nothing? Some friend you are, Kikyou," she said teasingly.
"I know, it must kill you to think that your own friends won't give you a discount," she said sarcastically rolling her eyes in the process.
"Yeah, it does," Jinx retorted back as she walked out of the store.
Once she had vacated the store, Raven said, "Starfire, we should tell Robin about this."
"All right, all right," she said. "Let me get my communicator." She pulled it out. "Starfire calling Robin… over."
They waited several moments for a response.
"He's not answering," Raven observed. "Please try again."
"Starfire calling Robin… over."
"Hey, are you guys actually going to buy something? If not, then get out of here," Kikyou warned.
They did so. "Starfire, where do you think he would be?"
"Well, Robin wouldn't ignore his communicator for something like shopping. Maybe the bathroom?"
They waited outside of it for ten minutes. "I doesn't take that long, does it?" Raven wondered.
"Maybe he went back home without telling us."
"That's unlikely."
"I know, but it's the only logical answer." Starfire pulled it out again. "Starfire calling Beast Boy… over."
"Hey, Star? How's the mall?"
"BB, did Robin go back without us?"
"No, he's not here, why?"
"He just took off, and he's not answering."
"Relax, he's probably just using the bathroom or something."
"BB, we've waited outside the bathroom for ten minutes now."
"Well, go inside and check for yourself. He could be… really busy."
"It's a men's room, Beast Boy," Raven said, peering over Star's shoulder.
"I know. Star, with your droopy boobs and Rae, with you facial hair above your lip, you two could pass off as guys."
They glared at him. "You are so getting a beating for that!" Starfire said.
She closed it shut. "Well? Are we going in?" she asked.
"Uh, you can go. I'll stay out here."
"Hmph, what a great girlfriend you'd be to Robin," she sneered.
"I would be!" Raven answered back. "But I really don't think he's in there! So why wasted my time going in?"
"Hmm, because of this?" Starfire pulled out a picture and shoved it in Raven's face.
Raven blushed. "That's not real. I never wore that."
"Oh really? I saw you last night prancing around in your little bunny costume. How much do you think the media would pay for this?"
Raven growled and grabbed the picture from Starfire. She then ripped it to shreds.
"Go ahead, I have forty copies at home."
"Fine, I'll go in there."
"Good."
A few minutes later…
"Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"Remind me never to go in there again."
"Sure. Me too."
They stopped to think for a while. "Where do you think he'd go at a time like this?" Star questioned.
Raven said, "Well, giving his current state of mind, he's probably got some money and he's going to a-"
"We don't have one of those in Jump City, Raven," Starfire said hastily. "Trust me, if he wanted really good quality of that stuff, he'd go to Thailand or something. Not here."
"Okay, just saying."
"Hmm," they both said. Where would he be?
"At a bar! Trying to rap!" said Raven.
"What?"
"I can sense him! He's at a bar!"
"Where?"
"I'll teleport us there."
They entered slowly. There, before their eyes was Robin, rapping, well in his case trying to rap.
"I'm as hot as a frying pan…"
"Robin!" Raven shrieked as she and Star went up to grab him and take him home.
"Hey! How'd you get in here?" He turned to everyone. "Everyone, meet the two most beautiful, wonderful women I've ever met, Starfire and Raven!"
Everyone cheered. "Isn't that Droopyboob? We LOVE you! Hey! It's the creepy girl, Raven! Marry us!"
The girls grimaced as they turned to face Robin. He was pretty drunk. "I will now rap about these two beautiful ladies,"
"Uh, I'd rather you not. Raven, grab him!"
"Oh no you don't! Let me have some fun! I can fight you!"
Starfire looked at him with an expression on her face as if saying, "Riiiiight…" She barely touched him with a single finger and he lost his balance and dropped down.
"Okay, Star. I'll teleport him home, and you bring his R-Cycle."
"Sure… wait! I know what you're doing! You're trying to get Robin all to yourself so you can have some fun with him! I'll fly him home. You take the R-Cycle."
"Fine by me." She walked out of the bar and immediately encased the vehicle and herself in it. They were at the tower in a matter of seconds.
Starfire carried Robin in her arms as they flew fifty feet above the ground. Little did she know that he was actually conscious. She didn't notice until…
"Quit touching me, you sicko!"
"But I like touching you, Starfire!" he said. "Please?" he begged.
"No! Continue and I'll drop you from up here!"
He knew she really wouldn't and continued. "Suuuure you will."
"I said stop touching me! Why the heck do you insist on touching my boobs, for crying out loud!"
"Cuz I'm attracted to you of course! Oh, and Raven too. And I'm pretty sure you won't have the heart to drop me from here. You couldn't stand a world without my good looks and charm."
She grumbled. "Raven, you are so going to pay for this. Good thing I still have those pictures…"
Meanwhile…
"Now, where are those pictures Starfire was going to blackmail me with?" Raven thought to herself as she scanned Starfire's room.
"Hmm, she needs work on where she hides things," she thought as she picked up an envelope on the bed labeled "Raven Blackmail Pictures".
"What should I do with them? I know!" She emptied it out and called Beast Boy.
"Yes?" he said, appearing before her.
"I need a favor."
"Anything for you," he said drooling.
"Yeah, whatever. I need you to burn these pictures for me." She handed them to him.
He looked at them with interest. "Okay, I'll go shred them… with a shredder."
"O…kay. That works too."
"Wait, what do I get out of this?"
"Um, my gratitude?"
"Something else."
"Uh, okay. I'll… meet you in your room in the A.M. hours."
"Really?" he asked excitedly.
"Yeah, riiiiight… sure…"
"Cool! Thanks Rae!"
When Starfire gets home and reaches into the envelope…
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Curse you, Raven!"
Hehe... I don't own the Inuyasha character Kikyou either. Hehehe... Raven and Beast Boy? In the A.M.? Stick around to find out. Oh, and please review as well all you "kind" people.
