Mortal Ways

Chapter 5: Of Parties and Pups

Kori learns about the green monster and ENTER NICOLE! And the party and the mini showdown.

Dedication: To Nicole and Phantom of the Opera! IT ROCKS!

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans because it wouldn't have stopped, and would have more movies. Yea you know. Stupid Cartoon Network.

Trying to update as much as possible!

Cartoonstar: Okay, sorry but Terra will be in it but hold out! It's like I said about Kitten. She will be in it so I can torture her, and play a semi-important part.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Kori yawned before slamming her head down on her desk. "KORI!" Rachel's voice screamed. Kori gave a loud grunt. "Whatever is on your mind better stop bothering you or it will have to deal with me." Rachel growled. "Fine." Kori mumbled. She could not fall asleep. Tomorrow was Richard's party (I know everyone does it but whatever!) and ever since Xavier had come to school Richard had been a lot grumpier. "Males." She sighed. She flopped down on her bed and fell asleep staring at her ceiling.

"How did you sleep?" Kori asked Rachel who was drinking coffee. Rachel scowled at her. "You shouldn't drink that stuff you know." Kori said pointing to Rachel's coffee. Rachel just scowled at her again. "You can wake me up five times but no one can take my coffee away." She growled.

"I'm guessing you're not a party person." Kori shrugged. "I'm not even sure why I agreed to this." Rachel sighed. "Hey guys!" A familiar voice called. Kori looked around. "Gar! Are you excited for Richard's party?" She asked. "Yea. His house is so big! It is AWESOME!" Gar cried. "Hey Rae." He waved a bit nervously. Rachel gave a little wave. Gar gave a big goofy grin.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Rae pounded on the big mansion's doors. "LET US IN! IT IS WINDY OUT HERE!" She screamed. Richard opened the door quickly. "Come on! Gar and Vic and using every single bathroom in my house." He explained. "What is wrong with them?" Rachel cried. "Well I do have like 32 of them. Last year Gar got lost. Here there are problem done now. Come up to my room." Richard smiled.

"This is your room." Kori gasped. "Yea." Richard said awkwardly. "Our apartment is smaller then this." Rachel gasped. "Hey!" Gar called. "Want a soda?" He asked. "Sure." Kori shrugged. Rachel shrugged and Gar grabbed two bottles of soda out of a mini fridge. "So what are we doing?" Rachel asked. "MOVIE!" Gar screamed. Rachel sighed. "I guess it's a movie." Richard chuckled.

"I say we watch an action movie!" Gar cried. "Yeah!" Vic cried. Kori raised her hand. Gar and Vic looked taken aback. "What Kori?" Richard asked. "I think we should view Phantom of the Opera." She said calmly. "Me too. Before you say anything it is not a chick flick!" "Vote." Vic called. "I say action." Vic said smugly. "Me too." Gar grinned. "Phantom." Kori said slowly. "Ditto." Rachel said with a sly grin on her face. "Richard?" Vic asked. "Um." Richard groaned. "Phantom." He whispered. Kori cried happily hugging Richard.

Kori said hugging a pillow watching the screen. She was silently crying. "This is the saddest part. Poor Phantom." She sniffed. Rachel nodded a grave expression on her face. "This is sadly a really good movie. Vic was crying." Gar pointed out. Vic hit him. "I was so not! So were you!" Vic cried. Kori giggled. She reached up and turned off the TV.
What did you think Richard?" She asked. "Good, and somewhat tragic." He gulped. Kori yawned. She curled up and went to sleep. "She went to sleep fast." Richard grinned. "So were staying up all night!" Richard cried but as he looked around he was everyone was asleep.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Richard woke with a yawn to find everybody gone. "Where did they go?" He asked standing up. Suddenly something rushed into him. Richard gave a yell or terror. "Richard did I startle you?" Giggled a familiar voice. "It's okay Kori." Richard chuckled turning around as Kori let go of him. "You were sleeping very soundly so we didn't wake us up. Your nice butler Alfred has made breakfast. Come on!" Kori called.

Soon everyone was out of the house and walking down the beach by Richard's house. "Why is nobody here?" Kori asked. "Bruce owns a small section of the beach." Richard shrugged. Kori squealed. "Hey Kori! Grayson." A voice called. "Xavier!" Kori waved. Richard just growled. "Spring formal is coming soon." Xavier smiled. "Spring formal?" Kori asked. "It's a dance." Richard said still glaring at Xavier. Xavier gave him a lofty look before walking on. "See you back at school." He said giving a small wave. "Bye!" Kori called.

"RICHARD GRAYSON!" Kori cried. "What?" Richard asked. "What is wrong with you?" Kori asked. "Green monster." Rachel pointed out. "Richard is not green or a monster." Kori said quite confused. "It means he is jealous." Rachel sighed. "Oh." Kori gave a nod of understanding. "I am not." Richard said giving a gasp of exhaustion.

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

"Thank you for walking me home." Kori smiled. "No problem." Richard grinned. "Rachel had work today so she couldn't walk with me. I love company. "Kori said starting to skip.

There on the street sat a little black Labrador puppy. It was pretty small with large brown eyes that seemed sad and forgotten. "Richard look at the poor thing!" Kori cried running to it and hugging it. The puppy tail wagged and it licked Kori all over. "I'm going to keep it." Kori declared. "But you live in an apartment." Richard sighed. Kori did love the dog, and it was all alone. "From the words of Rachel, the owner is a drunk he won't notice." Kori cried. "I will name you Nicole!" Nicole gave a bark of joy.
