Hello, hello! Here's the continuation of that R-E-A-L-L-Y short one I put up last time.
Okay, another short update; I'm warning you now. :) Enjoy the little snippet.
Chapter 9
Titans Tower…
The teen heroes sat in the Commons Room; Starfire and Robin deciding where to go on their honeymoon, Cyborg and Beast boy vigorously playing the GameStation, and Rachael and Raven in separate corners of the room meditating.
Rachael easily cleared her mind and found her center; but Raven struggled to calm her torrent of biting thoughts and doubts that threatened to overwhelm her. The doorbell rang.
Beast boy promptly dropped his controller and zoomed to the door before anyone else could so much as move. He yanked the door open roughly and quickly signed the clipboard presented to him before being handed a petite package. He jubilantly whirled around, intent on heading to his room; only to find everyone staring at him.
He crossed his arms,
"What?"
The other Titans blinked in unison, and then resumed what they had been doing prior to the disruption a bit too enthusiastically. After analyzing their actions with suspicion, he shrugged, and then darted off to his room excitedly.
Once he had entered his sanctuary, and locked the door, Beast boy quickly tore open the small package to find a minuscule square box. He opened it and inspected it's contents; nodding approvingly as he gently reclosed the container.
He sat on his bed turning the mysterious box over in his hands as he contemplated how to be sure about this situation. He sat in contemplative silence for a long while before a brilliant idea occurred to him. He leaped to his feet and pocketed his treasure before bounding out of the room impatiently.
Beast boy arrived in the Commons Room, but upon entering, he skidded to a stop, wordlessly gaping at the shocking sight before him. Raven still sat in the corner; struggling to find her center; Robin and Starfire still sat at the table, but their gaze was focused - not on each other - but on the same spectacle as Beast boy.
Cyborg and Rachael sat on the couch, both holding controllers in their hands. Rachael's expression was one of solid determination, Cyborg's one of absolute bewilderment. The screen before them switched from an image of two cars crossing a finish line to a screen that read- WINNER: RAVEN.
Cyborg dropped his controller – making no move to retrieve it – as he stared blankly at the screen. He spoke in a detached tone,
"H-How did she beat me? I'm the champ…"
Rachael placed her hands on her hips gloatingly,
"I guess there's a new champ, Cyborg."
Beast boy blinked; completely forgetting what he'd been in the middle of doing, as he immediately got over his shock.
"Oh yeah? I want to play the 'new champ'."
Her eyes narrowed in mock malice,
"Bring it on, Garfield."
He chuckled slightly,
"Oh, it's on!"
He leaped onto the couch and snatched Cyborg's controller off of the floor. Starfire and Robin simply stared wordlessly as the two engaged in a virtual war, insults flying between the two teens as they dueled.
Robin looked to his fiancée with an odd expression that she reciprocated exactly.
"Okaaaaaay…?"
I'll try to add the next part by Friday. :(
Well; you have to have some sort of comment on that one. What is it? I'd love to hear your guess! XD
Later Days!
