ARGH! I'm really, really sorry about the super-long time to make an update. I'm losing inspiration...well...not really...but I need something to go in between my ideas for other chapters...
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. Thanks for reminding me.
"Oh...it won't be that bad, would it?" Kori said hopefully, trying to be a little optimistic. "Just a bit of reading."
"Yeah, but I don't get to have a lie-in!" Richard pointed out. "Come on, let's just leave or we'll be late."
"And the Principal would probably make our lives worse," Gar added. Then they all fell silent.
"Vic...what time is it?" Jenn asked cautiously.
"How about I just say we have forty-seven seconds left to get there?" Vic said.
"Then what are we standing around here for!?" Gar said frantically. "RUN!"

Beast Boy rapidly pressed the buttons for the wireless controller as swerved to dodge someone's vehicle's missile. He was sticking his tongue out in frustration and his eyes were glued to the massive T.V. screen of Titans Tower. Raven was sitting some distance away from the green teenager and her eyes, instead of being locked on a game, were in a book. Beast Boy's occasional outbursts of annoyed yells at first passed over Raven but it started to get on her nerves as it became more frequent. Beast Boy was losing terribly. Then, she couldn't stand it any longer and shut her book loudly. Before she could tell Beast Boy to shut up, the team's leader entered the common room. He was also accompanied by Starfire and Cyborg.
"Titans, I've got some information on our doppelgangers," Robin said officially while he was holding bits of paper. Beast Boy paused his game and turned around with interest and Raven placed her book on a nearby table.
"Have you?" Raven said, interested. "What have you found?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you," Robin said matter of factly as he moved over to the nearest table (which Raven had put her book on, if you're interested) and spread out the pieces of paper. Beast Boy bounded of the sofa and scuttled over to them. Most of the pieces of paper were actually blueprints which you could guess was Cyborg's upcoming invention. A few of them had endless writing on them which were only just legible to read.
"Raven, you were right about them being from another universe or 'dimension'," Robin started, glancing at Raven. She nodded.
"They're also completely human and don't have any 'unfound' superpowers," Robin continued saying the obvious.
"Dude, I think we already know that," Beast Boy pointed out.
"Yes, but I've also found that that isn't the only dimension around," Robin said. "There are other dimensions which are still unknown to us."
"How did you find all this?" Cyborg questioned.
"You'll find out soon enough," Robin replied. "I also discovered that out doppelgangers go to High School."
"Dude! Really?" Beast Boy was amazed. "Wow..."
"Robin, are you guessing all of this?" Raven asked. He shook his head.
"You're joking," Raven said, disbelievingly. She couldn't think of any way on how Robin had found out all this.
"Trust me Raven and I didn't do anything illegal if that's what you're thinking," Robin joked.
"Yeah...so when can I actually started making the machine?" Cyborg asked, hopefully.
"Right now," Robin said and handed him a large amount of blueprints. Cyborg scarpered off.
"Dude...I forgot! What are we going to call the machine?" Beast Boy asked the Titans who were left.
"I do not think it matters," Starfire pointed out who hadn't really said anything in a while. Beast Boy was shocked.
"Dude! Of course it matters!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "How about...Dimension Taker?"
"No offence Beast Boy, but that's lame," Robin said.
"Whatever, dude, I'm sticking with it!" Beast Boy said adamantly. Then a question struck him. "Hey, did you find out what those red blinking thingies were?" Robin shook his head.
"No, I still haven't got one of those 'red blinking thingies'," Robin said, quoting Beast Boy.
"Oh," Beast Boy was deflated.
"Well, I'm going to research on these people more," Robin said. "There is a lot to be found out." He walked out of the common room and Starfire followed him. To avoid Beast Boy whoop and yell about the game anymore, Raven also exited the common room. Beast Boy shrugged to himself and continued playing his video game.

The six of them had no urge to be punished even more by the Principal for being late. He was extremely picky about lateness and took even the seconds into account. After some breathless running, they arrived the double doors of the hall and crashed in.
The hall was bursting with colour which was its usual state during the time for the Teen Titans Comic Con. The Principal was telling a student off for perhaps not putting up the decorations properly and didn't appear to have noticed them. The five of them started tiptoeing towards the bags of Teen Titan costumes but before they could grab them, then Principal spoke to them.
"Hello, Kori, Richard, Garfield, Victor, Rachel and Jennifer," the Principal said in his normal formal fashion and took his time to say all of their names to show that he registered the fact that they were all here.
"Hello Principal," they all chorused timidly, hoping that he wasn't in a bad mood. More punishment was definitely not a good thing.
"I'm certain that you've read your rotas for today, am I right?" The Principal looked at each of them and they went a bit fidgety. They didn't reply and the Principal assumed that they had.
"Good! Now change and off to your positions!" he ordered and he walked off to tell someone else off for breathing.
"Don't worry, I've got the rota here," Jenn assured them once the Principal was out of hearing range. Grateful that Jenn had remembered, they set off to the toilets to get changed into their ridiculous costumes.
When they all had come back, they gathered around Jenn who was holding up the rota which had annoyingly small print.
"Let's see..." Jenn squinted hard to try and make out the words. "Looks like Kori's on the Kissohero stand."
"What!" Kori shrieked in horror. "I thought only boys did that!"
"Kori! Don't be sexist!" Gar warned.
"Sorry...but I really, really don't want to do it..." Kori pleaded as if Jenn could somehow change the rota. Jenn gave Kori a sympathetic look.
"I can't do anything, sorry," Jenn said.
"Wait!" Richard said. "Gar, go get the fish from your locker!" This was nonsense to the others but Gar seemed to understand Richard's words and went off to do what Richard had said. When Gar left, they went back to looking at the rota.
"Looks like I'm drawing Richard today," Jenn said. "Sorry, Robin." Jenn smirked in Richard's direction. Richard glared at her while Vic sniggered.
"What am I doing?" Rachel asked Jenn, peering at the paper.
"Superheroes signing," Jenn told her. "Where people write stuff on you."
"Joy," Rachel commented sarcastically.
"Where am I today, Jenn?" Vic asked.
"Err...um...you're at Hug Your Favourite Hero," Jenn answered Vic. Vic burst out laughing.
"HAHAH! I'd like to see people try and hug me!" Vic said. "They'll get a concussion!"
"From what?" Kori asked him, confused.
"From banging their heads on my metal parts!" Vic explained. Gar came back in, holding something behind his back which looked extremely suspicious. Richard noticed Gar so he took Gar's object from behind his back and passed it to Kori while trying to conceal it with his hands.
"Take the fish!" Richard hissed. Obediently, Kori took the fish though she had no idea what to do with it.
"What am I supposed to do with it?" Kori hissed back.
"I'll explain later," Richard told her. Then he turned back to the rest of the group.
"What am I doing?" Gar asked Jenn.
"You're doing Autograph Animal," Jenn answered him. Before Gar could comment on that, the Principal came over.
"Why aren't you going to your stands!? GO!" the Principal yelled at them (particularly in Gar's face, much to Gar's dislike) and the six of them obediently rushed off. Jenn went over to the 'Drawings with your Hero' stand, Vic to the 'Hug your favourite hero' stand, Rachel 'Superheroes Signing', Gar 'Autograph animal' and Kori and Richard to the 'Kissohero'.
** ** ** ** **
Kori noticed the line for the Kissohero was very, very long and she gulped audibly. She looked at the smelly fish with disgust.
"How am I supposed to use this?" Kori asked Richard.
"Well, you first seduce them-"
"What?" Kori shrieked. "I am not doing that!" Then a thought occurred to her. "You tried to be seductive to those girls?"
"Uh..." Richard didn't reply immediately. "Um...well, it was really hard..." He was hoping Kori wasn't going to get mad again but she didn't.
"Wow...I feel sorry for you," Kori joked. Relieved, Richard started his teaching.
"Ok, so you seduce them so you make them all 'yes, she wants to kiss me' and you tell them to close their eyes. Then lean in and right before you kiss the guy (Richard tried to resist cringing at the thought of that) you put the fish between both of you!" Richard explained. Kori still wasn't eager to do that plan.
"What if I get caught?" Kori asked Richard. "And what happens if they don't want to close their eyes?"
"Then just say you won't kiss them," Richard said shrugging. "People are really desperate in that line." Kori nodded but was still doubtful.
"I really don't want to do this..." she moaned.
"Well, you kind of have to," Richard pointed out as he indicated the impatience people waiting in the line. Just before Kori went, he leaned and whispered in her ear: "Good luck." And he walked off towards the 'Drawing with your hero' stand. Kori shivered slightly when he whispered in her ear. She didn't know why she did though...perhaps it was the close proximity he was to her. Reluctantly, Kori made her way towards the stand, while concealing the fish behind her back, and stood behind it. The first boy was geeky looking and was quite fat. Now thankful for the fish, Kori smiled at the boy in the best seductive way she could but she wasn't too good in that area at all. It didn't matter though as the boy seemed to fall for it.
"Hi," he said, trying his best to sound cool. "I bet you can't wait to kiss me."
Yeah right Kori thought in her head but did not say it.
"Same here," she replied, fluttering her eyelashes. She didn't notice Richard, who was looking at her from a distance; suddenly feel a surge of jealously. But he knew she was faking it.
"Well then..." the geeky boys pushed up his glasses in attempt to look attractive but instead, it made him look uglier. And the freckles and spots didn't help at all. Kori hated this by the second.
"Close your eyes," she whispered. Fortunately, he did and started leaning towards her. Kori quickly put the fish between them just in time or otherwise, she would have been receiving a slobbery kiss. He kissed it passionately and Kori was checking no one was watching. The boys behind the geeky boy didn't notice. When Kori removed the fish, the boy opened his eyes.
"Wow..." he murmured. He placed the money in the tray and walked off, eyes staring off into the distance dreamily. Kori groaned inwardly as she saw the amount of boys left. This was going to be a long day (or hour).
** ** ** ** **
With Rachel
Rachel at first wasn't thinking that people writing on her would be so bad. I mean, she was going to wear a white robe thing and all she had to do was stand. But she had assumed wrongly.
Surprisingly enough, people writing on her were painful. When people wrote, they dotted their eyes really, really hard and wrote while pressing down so it dug into her skin. It must have been because they were writing in biro and biro didn't write well on clothes. Why couldn't they use felt tips or ink pens!? The standing up was also very boring so Rachel sometimes glanced down to see what people had written on her. The stuff people wrote was mostly 'I love you!!!!!!' or 'You're awesome' but some were about her and Gar. Sorry, I mean Beast Boy. When she read the ridiculous comments, she found herself blushing and was hoping no one would notice that.
One comment though really annoyed her.
The same girl from French Class came over to her with a (stupid) biro pen.
"Hi Raven! You're awesome!" she exclaimed. Rachel was used to these common outbursts so didn't flinch or cringe. She was expecting some other normal fan message but instead she got something else!
'Rob/Rae 4eva!' was what the girl wrote.
What the heck!?
Rachel wanted to get rid of that message before Kori or Gar saw it and she also wanted to cause pain to the girl. She just smiled sweetly at Rachel.
"So? When are you going to start going out?" the girl asked Rachel. Rachel unfortunately knew what the girl was talking about.
"Never," Rachel hissed at her. The girl appeared to not have heard her and skipped off. Rachel didn't know how annoying it was for someone to tell you that you liked someone you didn't, until now. She didn't press on with her thoughts as another pen had jabbed her in the leg.
"Ow!"
** ** ** ** **
With Gar
"Ow!" Gar moaned as he rapidly shook his hand. It was aching from writing on different surfaces for forty minutes. While he was attempting the 'shake out the ache' from his hand, he glanced at the analogue clock which was high up in the wall of hall. It took him a few seconds to calculate that he had fifteen minutes of autographing left. He had autographed many things- toy animals, animal covered pens, books, dairies, schoolbooks, pencil cases, mobile phones (that was really hard to do) and many more things he forgot. This was just plain torture. He swore that the same people came into the line five times. Despite that, he continued signing random objects as the Principal was looking at him.
"Hi!" someone said loudly, practically in Gar's ear. He jumped up in shock and tried not to glare at the person.
"What do you want me to sign?" Gar asked wearily. Happily, the girl put down the piece of paper she was holding in front of Gar. Gar's eyes widened when he saw what was on the piece of paper. Not the usual pieces of paper which were just simply essays people wrote; it was a picture. The figures of the picture were carefully drawn out and the colours were perfect. Gar was taken aback by the wonderful artistic effects on the drawing. What shocked him even more was that it was of him and Rachel...though it did say 'BBXrae forever'. In the picture, Gar or Beast Boy had his arm around Rachel and she was smiling...he couldn't believe how accurate the artist was.
"Wow..." Gar said, impressed.
"You like it?" the girl asked him hopefully. "It took me ages to draw..."
"You want me to sign this?" Gar said. He was afraid that he would ruin the artwork.
"Yes!" the girl nodded her head vigorously. "I mean, it's not every day that you have Beast Boy in your school hall!"
Actually, it is Gar thought.
"Err...ok then," Gar signed 'Beast Boy' on the piece of paper in his scrawly handwriting and the girl happily paid and walked off.
** ** ** ** **
With Kori
She couldn't believe no one had noticed so far. Wasn't it obvious? She was holding a fish for goodness sake...she couldn't tell whether the people were lying or not when they said they enjoyed the kiss. Kori was quite grateful though, that no one had noticed and prepared herself for person. Up came a boy with blonde hair and obvious muscles. Kori had to admit- he was quite attractive but a little too flirty.
"Hey," the boy said, smoothly. "I'm Brad. And I'm guessing you're the wonderful Starfire." Kori wanted to roll her eyes, but didn't. Then something struck her- wasn't Brad that person Koma liked?! If Brad kept boasting about kissing Kori, her sister would surely kill her...
"Yes, I am," Kori or Starfire said, trying to be flirteaous too. She fluttered her eyelashes.
"So, are you ready?" Brad asked.
"For what?" Kori said, confused.
"To get kissed by the wonderful Brad," Brad boasted.
"Oh...of course!" Kori said. Brad leaned in and fortunately he closed his eyes. Immediately, Kori got out the fish and put the fish between them. She tried to hide her giggles as Brad smooched the fish. Then, he started sniffing and his face showed suspicion. Quickly, Kori put the fish behind her back before Brad could catch a glimpse of it when he opened his eyes.
"What's that smell?" he asked her, still sniffing.
"Uh...my perfume?" Kori made up randomly.
"Oh," Brad shrugged. "Well you're an awesome kisser anyway." He put his money in the money tray, winked at Kori and walked off. Now, Kori rolled her eyes and hoped Koma wouldn't find out that her crush had 'kissed' her younger sister.
** ** ** ** **
With Vic
Much to Vic's displeasure and surprise, there was a long queue waiting to hug the famous Cyborg. Vic or Cyborg was wondering how Teen Titans got popular in a matter of one week. Was that humanly possible? Unfortunately for Vic, no one got a concussion when they hugged him and the hugs sometimes lasted really long. He also couldn't understand why people wanted to hug some robot dude. He sighed when someone came crashing at him and he glanced over at the 'Drawings With Your Hero' stand. You could tell both Jenn and Richard were getting bored and the girl sitting next to Richard was literally just staring at him with dreamy eyes. He noticed Richard also glanced at the 'Kissohero' stand and he understood why. He found it pretty hilarious. Gar was about to fall asleep and Rachel looked like she was about to kill someone. When the person finally stopped hugging him, he gazed up in awe.
"You're like...so cool!" the boy exclaimed. Vic realised he was probably in 6th grade.
"Uh...sure..." Vic said.
"Like...these metal parts are awesome!" the boy said, prodding Vic's leg continuously.
"Hey! Stop that!" Vic said.
"Ooh...look at the awesome eye!" the boy pointed enthusiastically at Vic's red eye. Vic restrained himself from telling the boy that it was all fake but if he did, it will give away that he was not actually Cyborg, the boy would get upset thus making the Principal have an excuse to give Vic detention and perhaps, 24 hours of fan-mail answering.
Dang it, forgot about the stupid fan mail thing...Vic groaned inside his head. The boy was still awing over him when suddenly; the end of lunch bell rang.
"Yes!" Vic yelled happily. He shoved past the boy. "Freedom! Freedom!"
The boy looked at Vic's retreating figure strangely.
** ** ** ** **
"How bad was it?"
"I think I have about ten scars on my leg." Rachel told Kori. "Ow...and I still don't get why people want to sign on you...it makes no sense really." Kori shrugged.
"I do not know the answer to that but perhaps our Principal does..." Kori said. "How was it for you, Gar?" Said Gar was shaking his hand furiously for a reason someone could only guess.
"It...was...painful..." Gar said in between vigorous shakes. Kori looked at Jenn which meant she expected an answer from her.
"Well, my arm's aching a bit too but y'know, it wasn't so bad," Jenn shrugged.
"Yeah, because you didn't have to wear goofy costumes!" Richard said. "My stupid costume was so tight for goodness sake..."
"At least you didn't have someone staring at your costume for five minutes!" Vic said indignantly. "That boy was just weird..."
"Hey dudes, did any of you manage to catch the episode of Teen Titans last night?" Gar asked them all which made him receive glares from everyone else.
"No, I forgot," Kori said. "I don't think it matters too much anyway..."
"Gar, how come you love Teen Titans when that's the exact reason your hand's aching?" Rachel questioned him.
"I love-hate teen titans I guess," Gar shrugged. "Well, here's my biology class...bye dudes," Gar disappeared into his said biology class. There was a chorus of goodbyes after him and then the rest of them parted to go to their respective classes.
** ** ** **
School was finally over.
People escaped from school doors almost all at once as they pushed and shoved. The crowds of different aged students were more concentrated near the school entrances but depleted as it came to the school buses and school car parks. Students clambered in the stuffy, congested buses while some students waited by the school fountain, which you could only guess that they were waiting for their friends. Gar, Kole, Garth and Kori were some of those people who were waiting for their friends to come out of the school. They were out together first as they had their last class together (English, if you're dying to know). They mostly talked about everyday things like how boring school classes were, or if they were doing anything interesting over the weekend.
"Oh yes. We're answering fan-mail for three hours," Kori said sarcastically.
"Ooh...that sounds bad," Garth sympathised. "I'm sure it won't be all bad."
"You'll only be reading stuff! Nothing else!" Kole reassured. "I'm sure it will be fine."
"I fail to agree dudes," Gar said. "You didn't see how much reading we have to do."
"How much reading do you have to do then?" Kole asked. Kori and Gar exchanged glances for a moment, to try and give Kole an answer.
"Let's say that if I magically teleported to you in that room," Gar said. "You'd die of suffocation." Garth and Kole were surprised at the answer.
"Wow..." Garth muttered. "Well, I'm pretty sure you won't have to read all of them. That would be just unfair."
"Unfair is our Principal's middle name," Gar said. "Oh look! There's Rach, Richard and Vic!" Gar waved to said people who were only just visible through the midst of people.
"Joseph, Toni, Jenn and Wally's with them too!" Kole exclaimed, waving also. Finally, after a few shoves and pushes Richard, Rachel, Vic, Jenn, Wally, Joseph and Toni were with them. After a few chorused 'hi's, they started their conversations.
"My day sucked," Jenn told Kori, Gar, Rachel and Wally.
"What happened?" Rachel asked.
"I think about seven different people had a go at me for 'defeating Teen Titans'!" Jenn exclaimed angrily.
"Uh...what?" Gar was confused. Then, he understood what Jenn was talking about. "Oh..."
"People these days..." Rachel muttered.
"And two annoyed guys kept flicking paper balls at the back of my head!" Jenn said, exasperated. "I really wanted to kill them."
"We get the opposite of hate..." Kori mumbled. "Well, at least you don't have to answer fan-mail."
"You have to answer fan-mail?" Wally said. "Oh! So that's what those letters were about!"
"You saw them?" Kori asked. Wally nodded.
"Yep, I think they're now blocking the hallway!" Wally laughed. "Man, you guys are going to take ages to finish reading all of those!"
"Not funny Wally!" Gar grumbled.
"Ok, Ok," Wally quietened down. "I never thought you'd say that Gar! Something that isn't funny!"
"That's usually my line," Rachel said.
"Or mine," Jenn added.
"Well, I'm not exactly in a good mood you know," Gar sighed. Gar then was hit on the head by a paper ball.
"Huh?"
The sound of boys laughing was heard ("Hahahahahahahahahahaha!") and Gar realised that Jenn was being pelted by paper balls. The ball that had hit him had probably had bounced off Jenn. The boys who were throwing them were standing some distance away and since the crowds of people had lessened, there were more of accurate shots. The paper balls were bouncing off various people and most of them landed in the fountain were they got drenched. The boys seemed to have an endless supply of paper balls.
"Hey! Stop throwing paper balls at Jenn!" Wally shouted at the boys defensively. They ignored him.
"Idiots," Rachel muttered.
"Too right," Kori agreed. "C'mon Jenn, let's get out of the way."
"What's so fun of throwing paper at someone?" Wally continued shouting at them.
"Wally, ignore them, they're just idiots," Rachel told him. She dragged him and Jenn off from the pelting paper balls. The paper balls did keep following them but the aim worsened and they just ignored them. They went over to the larger group.
"Where's Karen and Roy?" was the words Kori, Gar, Jenn, Wally and Rachel caught when they came over.
"One of the teachers wanted to have a word with them," Garth answered. "I don't why they're still not back yet."
"Are you guys up for some pizza? Around five thirty?" Toni asked them all. She got positive replies to the question.
"Should I ask Karen or Roy if they wanna come too?" Vic suggested. Toni shook her head.
"Na, Karen told me that her family were invited to a dinner round her dad's colleague's house so she can't make it. And Roy's got a date so he can't come either," Toni explained.
"Oh cool. So we'll see y'all around five then at the Pizza place?" Vic asked.
"Oh before we go, where were those paper balls coming from?" Richard asked. Jenn sighed.
"Some people who hate Jinx," Jenn said, rolling her eyes. "So we'll see you soon, ok?" After some byes, everyone parted to go their separate ways.
** ** ** ** **
PIZZA!
"Meat!"
"Tofu!"
"Meat!"
"Tofu!"
"Meat!"
"Tofu!"
"Olives?" Vic and Gar ceased their potential never-ending argument (much to everyone's delight) and stared at Kori, the speaker of the pizza topping.
"You're serious?" Gar squeaked.
"No, I just wanted you to shut up," Kori giggled. "Sorry..."
"Oh..." Vic and Gar chorused.
"Right, since some people have stopped arguing-" Toni glared at the two guilty people-"what do you guys want to order?" Vic and Gar opened their mouth to say something but Jenn shot them a look which meant Talk and your head comes off.
"How about beef, peppers and mushrooms?" Kole suggested. Garth, Kori, Joseph and Richard agreed to that suggestion.
"Right, so one beef, pepper and mushroom pizza," Toni noted this down mentally in her head. "What else?"
"Meat feast!" Wally declared.
"Aw yeah man!" Vic put his hand up for a high five which Wally accepted. He saw Jenn's look. "Hey! I'm not arguing!"
"Ok, Ok! I'll have the meat feast too." Jenn said. Toni nodded, remembering Jenn's choice.
"Hey! What about the vegetarian pizza?" Gar blurted out. "Who's going to have that?"
"I'll have it," Rachel said sighing after a moment of silence. "As long as there's no tofu on it." Gar nodded.
"Fine, no tofu!" Gar negotiated.
"I'm having the meat feast," Toni informed everyone. "So that's one extra large beef, pepper and mushroom, one large meat feast-"
"What about extra large?" Vic butted in.
"Are you sure you're going to finish all that with four people?" Toni asked.
"What? I meant extra large for me," Vic said. He gained a few strange, but not surprised, looks after that and Toni sighed.
"Right so one large meat feast, one extra large meat feast and a small vegetarian pizza. Is that all of us?" everyone nodded. Because they were ready to order, Toni put up her hand and started yelling 'WAITER' really loudly. A few people turned around to the source of the voice but Toni didn't mind- she wasn't the person to get shy easily. Finally, a Toni got a waiter's attention and the waiter reluctantly went over to them. She held a notepad and pen and her eyes were fixed on the notepad.
"Hello, what would you guys like?" she asked wearily.
"We'd like one extra large beef, pepper and mushroom pizza," Jenn did the talking this time. "Two meat feast pizzas- one large and one extra large- and one small vegetarian pizza." Their waiter quickly jotted everything down.
"Drinks?" she asked. All eleven of them had already decided on the drinks before they chose their pizzas.
"Five cokes, two glasses of water, three root beers and one glass of orange juice," Jenn answered. After noting down their drink choices, the waiter walked away.
** ** ** ** **
A little time later
The pizzas had arrived steaming hot and everyone was enjoying their slice of pizza. They were all on the balcony of the pizza place and the sun was beginning to set. They conversed while they ate and Gar often made the odd jokes which sometimes were funny though, Rachel did not laugh. This made Gar determined to make Rachel to laugh so Gar was now cracking jokes every other minute. While they ate, some other people on another table were speaking loudly and some of them secretly overheard their conversation.
"I thought yesterday's episode was amazing!" one girl with brown hair exclaimed while she sipped at her milkshake. Gar, Vic, Rachel, Richard and Kori could only guess what she was talking about but their guesses were very accurate.
"I know! So sweet at the end!" the other girl agreed, clasping her hands together.
"What are they talking about?" Garth hissed to a shocked Kori.
"Teen Titans," Kori hissed back.
"Oh," Garth said. "Err..." Gar was eager to know what happened in yesterday's episode so he was tuning in to the rest of their conversation.
"I know! Robstar is the greatest!" the brown-haired girl said.
"Robstar?" Toni said, having no idea what that meant. "What the heck is that?"
"I think it's Kori with Richard," Rachel informed her. "You know, like a couple."
"Oh..." Toni smirked in Kori's and Richard's direction when they flushed. Kori, Richard, Rachel, Gar and Vic continued to overhear their conversation and the others 'accidentally' started overhearing too.
"I hated her sister though!" the brown-haired girl said. "She's just like a Mary-Sue." This caused some snorts to emit from the group.
"I agree," her friend agreed. "And that goth kid was way creepy..." the girl shivered. She took a bite out of her pizza slice.
"I swear, he wants to go out with Raven! I can see the lust in his eyes," the brown-haired girl hissed. Some of the group raised eyebrows at Rachel, wondering if it was true. Gar looked furious.
"Robin's line was so cute! Amazing...I'm definitely going to watch Teen Titans tonight!" the other girl declared. She pushed her unfinished pizza slice away from her. "Let's go." Her friend nodded and left her unfinished milkshake on the table. The pair of them left and this ended the eavesdropping. Toni, Jenn, Garth, Wally, Kole and Joseph were a bit bewildered while the other five were interested to find out what the episode was.
"Were they talking about Teen Titans?" Jenn asked, wanting it to be confirmed.
"No, they were talking about Little Einstein's," Rachel said sarcastically. This was good enough for Jenn as she understood Rachel's sarcasm.
"Who's goth kid?" Kole asked the five of them, assuming that they would know.
"I don't know!" Vic shrugged.
"I think he might be the guy from the library..." Rachel mused. Garth and Wally exchanged looks.
"Does he have 'lust' in his eyes when he looks at you?" Wally asked.
"No, the girls are just making it up," Rachel said. "Like the shippers they are." Rachel mumbled that under her breath.
"The whaters?" everyone else repeated, obviously overhearing what Rachel said.
"Doesn't matter," Rachel sighed. "I'll tell you later."
"Dude, I need to see that Teen Titans episode!" Gar exclaimed, slamming his hand down on the table. Wally copied Gar's actions.
"Me too!" he said indignantly. "Though...how are we going to do that? There's going to be a new episode today."
"The marathon thing!" Gar said. "It's on all week next week! I'm so excited!"
"I still haven't seen Teen Titans yet," Joseph signed.
"Joseph said he hasn't seen Teen Titans yet," Kole translated for everyone.
"Dude...are you the only one who hasn't seen it?" Gar asked, shocked.
"No, I haven't seen it," Toni said.
"Well, see it tonight!" Gar demanded, practically making it an order.
"Well, I think it's time to go," Garth announced.
"Why?" Gar asked.
"Because there's no pizza left," Garth pointed at the empty pizza dishes.
"Well y'all, see y'all on Monday! And see you tomorrow," Vic said, the last part a bit glumly. Kori, Richard, Rachel and Gar didn't take offence though, as Vic was talking about the obscene amount of fan letters they had to read. After exchanging many goodbyes, they all departed the restaurant and went their separate ways.
I FEEL SO BAD! I took ages to write this chapter! And I'm on a writer's block for SOMECHAPTERIDON'TKNOWTHENAMEOF so don't be expecting another update soon. So....did you like it? It was a long chapter...and I completely forgot whether Toni had watched Teen Titans or not so if you remember that she has, and then err...tell me please. I forget some stuff quite easily...
As always, please review and tell me your thoughts on this chapter. I'd like to know...and if you are wondering, the next chapter of 'Earthquake Disaster' should hopefully be up sooner than next year XD. Sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, I couldn't be bothered to check everything through.
