It Could Only Be One Thing

Chapter 4: High
Cyborg laughed maniacally as he surveyed the sacred object he held in his hands. This will be fun, he thought. Well, maybe not for them, but…He laughed evilly once again, and dramatically receded into the shadows behind him.

Starfire was happily chattering on about something or other, and Robin was listening intently to his future girlfriend. Suddenly, Cyborg entered the room, a huge grin upon his face and a steaming mug in his hand.
"Friend, what is it that you are drinking?" Starfire asked inquisitively. Cyborg feigned surprise, looking at the mug. "Oh, this? Just some of Raven's tea." Robin frowned. "Since when do you drink tea?" he asked, suspicious as ever.
"I bet BB that he couldn't down some of Raven's herbal tea. I lost, so now I want to know why he likes it so much. Turns out that the green dude is actually right! This tea is great!" Cyborg was being a bit fake, but he knew that if Starfire bought his story, then Robin would just go with it.
"Glorious! In that case, friend, would you mind fetching me some of Raven's tea?" Cyborg grinned widely and handed her a teapot he produced from his metal torso. "There you go, Star, offer some to Robin, too, why don't you? Oh, oops, I gotta run, bye!" He left at a rapid pace, leaving Starfire and Robin blinking.
Starfire shrugged it off and ventured into their shared room to pour a cup of tea. "Robin, would you also like to have some of Raven's tea? She often says that it is very nutritious and has certain medicinal values."
"Well, I guess one cup of tea can't hurt."

Cyborg began to laugh maniacally for what seemed to be the thousandth time that day. "They have fallen in my trap!" he cackled in a strange Dracula accent. "And soon, they will be completely overwhelmed, for I, Cyborg, the evil mastermind of matchmaking, am the greatest matchmaker in the world!" he laughed maniacally once more.
--
Raven and Beast Boy, upon hearing this, sighed.
"He took the tea again." Raven deadpanned.
"Yep."
"Should I, or will you?"
"I'll do it, you did it last time."
Beast Boy wearily trudged towards the cockpit, where Cyborg was still laughing maniacally. Sighing and plugging earplugs into his elfin ears, Beast Boy pulled out his weapon and aimed. "Sorry, Cy, buddy, but this is for your own good."
And then he pressed down on the trigger.
--
Starfire blinked, looking around. "Robin, I believe I hear a horn of fog screaming. Should we be alarmed?" Robin looked up from his tea and newspapers, cocking his head. "A foghorn? Ah, it's alright, Star, it's probably just Cyborg and Beast Boy fooling around." Starfire smiled. "If that is what you say, Robin."
--
"ARGH!"
"Ah, that must be Cyborg." Raven murmured, not even looking up from her book. For a moment, she could hear Beast Boy explaining his actions – but then, in mid-sentence, his voice stopped, and Raven frowned. "He'd better not do anything stupid," she sighed, standing up.
--
Beast Boy was in a tight position. Blowing a foghorn in Cyborg's ear when he was high on both Raven's tea and sugar wasn't clever, and now Cyborg was clutching his human ear in anguish with one hand and keeping a tight hold on Beast Boy's neck with the other.
Raven, phasing herself through the wall, raised an eyebrow. "Wow, Beast Boy, now even Cyborg wants to kill you." Beast Boy glared at her, but was unable to say anything.
"Azarath Metrion Zinthos." With those three magic words, Beast Boy was set free. "Thanks, Raven. How do you plan on waking this guy up?" Raven looked at him incredulously. "You're really insane. He almost killed you. We wait until he wears it out."
"What, we're just gonna lock him in the cockpit?"
"Actually, Beast Boy, that plan is better than you think."
"But it's his plane. He built it, so I'm pretty sure he'll know the combination."
"Beast Boy, Cyborg is crazily paranoid. I bet that he made a password longer than 20 characters, which, in his hyper state, is too long for his attention span."
"Point taken. C'mon, Rae-ven, let's get out of here."
"Close save."
"…That was intentional!"
"Riiiiiiiiight."
So how was it? Good, I hope. Review!
