Wow! You know that my name has a couple of numbers in it? Well, I didn't want the numbers at first but I needed them because somebody had already taken Emily Snow. And I found that person! She said she got 'Emily Snow' from her two favourite things like stuff from books. She also likes yaoi and...no, I didn't talk to her if you guys are wondering.
I also want to thank ElvenQueen18 a lot for helping me with this chapter! Once again...enjoy! :-)
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. If I did, I'd still be writing this story as I can't really make it into an episode. I also don't own Cillit Bang.
Warning: The characters haves severe murder tendencies.
"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.

Cyborg pushed down the protective mask in front of his partly-human face and continued soldering a metal joint of the machine he was working on. The high temperature was intense but that did not bother him as he was used to this and had often came across such heat especially when making the famous T-car. As soon as the blazing heat ceased and Cyborg checked the joint was satisfactory, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Cyborg called. In came Robin, the leader of the Teen Titans.
"How's the machine going?" asked Robin inspecting the machine. It was in its embryo stage so you couldn't yet identify it was a dimension-travelling machine. Actually, even if it was finished; you still probably wouldn't recognise it.
"Great, just doing the basic metal structure and once I'm finished with that, I'll start on the electrics," Cyborg answered, removing a steamed up protecting mask from in front of his face. Robin nodded.
"When do you think that'll be?"
"Say," Cyborg started waving his hand around a bit unconsciously. "A few days? Maybe even tomorrow if we get no villains disturbing us."
"I highly doubt that, Cy," Robin laughed. "So you want any help?"
"Na, I'll be fine. I don't think y'all understand anything about electrics anyway." Cyborg pointed out.
"True," Robin agreed. "Well, see you at dinner." Robin walked out of the room.
"See ya!" Cyborg called after him.

"What shall I do now?" Starfire asked her green friend who was holding some cards in front of his face, to prevent anyone from seeing them. Raven was sitting in between Starfire and Beast Boy who were opposite each other. Starfire had a confused look on her face as she looked at her cards. They were not ordinary playing cards but cards which had weather symbols printed on them. Beast Boy lowered his laminated paper cards when Starfire asked her question and he seemed very weary when he answered her.
"Put down another card that beats fire," Beast Boy told her, trying not to let anyone see his cards and also trying not to sound annoyed.
"Water," Raven said quite suddenly as she hadn't said anything in a while. Beast Boy gaped at her while Starfire put down a card with a raindrop on it.
"Thank you Raven! But is it not against the rules to help others?" Starfire inquired.
"Yes it is, but Starfire you're still not getting this," Raven said, sighing. "We've played this before." Starfire's face saddened.
"Oh...but this is still confusing for me!" she said sadly. "Why must it be so difficult?" Beast Boy and Raven decided not to point out that in fact, it wasn't that difficult at all but as she was an alien from Tamaran, this was all very new to her. Their game was interrupted by the alarm and Robin came rushing in immediately suggesting that he had been already on his way to the common room. Without any words of greeting, he rushed over to the computer and started looking for where the crime had been taken place. The other Titans crowded round wordlessly and Cyborg came rushing in.
"Who's committed the crime?" he yelled, ready to kick butt. After a couple of taps on the keyboard, Robin answered him.
"I don't know! It must be a new villain: at the warehouse!" Robin exclaimed. "Titans GO!" With no hesitation, the Teen Titans set off.

Kori arrived home and she took off her shoes. She then dumped her school bag beside her shoes, noting down that she should pick it up later when she decided to do her homework. But it was Friday; she liked to relax on Friday. And boy, she needed to relax since she was to read countless (literally) numbers of fan letters which were rather unnecessary since the students of the school could just go up and talk to them...
In fact, fan letters were better.
Kori walked into the lounge and plopped onto the sofa and noticed her sister, Koma, was looking at her with a glint of venom in her eyes. At first, Kori couldn't realise why her sister was looking angry but then she remembered.
"Did you kiss Brad!?" her sister said suddenly. Kori sat up from her slouch. She shook her head like a little child.
"You're lying," her sister accused as she narrowed her eyes. Kori shook her head once more.
"No I am not!" Kori protested. "I didn't kiss Brad!"
"Then why was he going on about that he had kissed Starfire then?" Koma snapped.
"Oh...I made him think I kissed him," Kori told her.
"What? By hypnosis?!"
"No, he kissed a fish instead," Koma fell silent when she heard this. Most likely because the sentence was very strange and that Kori sounded like she was telling the truth.
"How?" Koma asked a bit weirded out.
"Before he kissed me, I put a fish between us and then got rid of it when he opened his eyes." Kori explained. Koma blinked in confusion and took a few seconds to understand.
"Ok...so you didn't kiss him?" Koma asked, just to be sure.
"No, I didn't," Kori said.
"Good...and also, did you watch Teen Titans last night?" Koma asked her. Kori shook her head.
"Nope." She answered, though she knew what she was getting at.
"Well, everyone kept telling me I was a jerk at school today for apparently 'stealing Robin from you'." Koma put the silly phrase in quotation marks which she formed with her fingers. "Stupid people..."
"Oh...I think they thought you were in it..." Kori calculated. "Wow that is very, very creepy."
"Do you think they're stalking us?" Koma asked but didn't expect an answer. Just as well as Kori didn't reply as she and her friends had thought the same thing. There was no more talk after that as nothing else was left to be said. While they watched some outtakes of different shows on T.V., Kori debated mentally whether she should do her homework or not. She decided not to.
** ** ** ** **
Kole and Joseph were walking home together as they lived on the same street. Their journey home contained a bit of talking (and signing) at first but they were now silent. Joseph however liked the silence and he didn't know that Kole did too. Even though there was no communication between them, they both enjoyed each other's company. The only sounds that could be hear was the sound of feet making hard contact with the pavement and occasional voices drifting out from houses.
Joseph, while enjoying the silence, was also debating whether to ask his father if he could watch Teen Titans. He had no idea what he would say. He wasn't exactly a caring father but that didn't mean he hated him (Joseph knew that because he actually let him live in his house). Joseph's younger sister, Rose, seemed to get more attention from her father than Joseph. Joseph didn't mind so much but he wouldn't have minded still if his father actually showed he cared about him. When Joseph saw the sight of his house, a mixture of emotions swarmed inside his body. He waved farewell to Kole who also returned the wave with a smile Joseph loved.
Using the house key Joseph owned, Joseph opened the front door of the house. He silently took off his shoes and placed them in the shoe rack. He could hear sounds from the television which relaxed him slightly. Whenever his father watched T.V., he was in a good mood. But that did not guarantee a yes for Joseph question of course...actually, he might as well not ask as his father seemed to be enjoying the movie a lot. However, Joseph was willing to take his chances. He glanced through the translucent glass in the lounge door and waited a few moments before he opened the door and let himself in. He could hear his mother washing up the dishes from the kitchen but it was quite quiet. His father was looking at the T.V. in interest and was leaning forwards in his seat slightly which proved the point. Joseph noticed that his father was watching some sort of violence movie and he guessed it was something to do with wars. His father still hadn't detected his presence yet and Joseph doubted he ever will as he was very silent. He gently walked in, readying himself to ask/sign the question. But, before he could, his younger sister came in.
"Dad! Dad! I got it!" she said excitedly. Joseph was confused by what his sister was talking about but he guessed that he would find out soon. His father paused the movie and turned to his daughter, catching a glimpse of Joseph.
"Excellent, Rose," he said, but despite what he said, he sounded emotionless. Rose didn't seem to mind.
"Can I start the other move now? The Killer?" Rose asked. Joseph's eyes widened. Killer?! He thought. His father thought for a moment.
"No, you need a little more experience and technique for that. We'll practice the basics again tomorrow and then you can try fighting me," Joseph's father told Rose. She nodded, happy with the plan. Rose Wilson, Joseph's sister, had a craving to learn martial arts when she was extremely young and Joseph's dad happened to be very experienced in that area of expertise. Since she was 12 she had been practising almost every day and Joseph had to admit- she was pretty good. But it appeared she wasn't good enough to master the 'killer move'. Good! Joseph thought.
"What do you want Joseph?" his father asked suddenly. Joseph started signing rapidly and his father seemed understand it. His eyes narrowed.
"Teen Titans?" he asked a bit sceptical. Joseph nodded. His father did not seem happy and Joseph was ready to go up to his room and do his homework when his sister spoke.
"Teen Titans? Oh! That's the other thing I wanted to ask you! Everyone at school is talking about it and they're saying its very good and all so I was wondering if I, sorry we, could watch it? Just to see if their statements are true," Rose asked. Their father seemed to soften but he still had a hard look on his face. He glanced back at the T.V.
"Fine. You kids can watch T.V. I've seen this movie three times anyway." Their father said, a bit grumpily. He threw Rose the remote suddenly and she caught it easily. She sat on the sofa and called:
"Thanks, dad!" she said. Joseph could not do the same as his father had already left the lounge. Joseph sat next to his sister who was changing the channel to Teen Titans which was just starting.
"I didn't think you'd be the one wanting to watch this Joseph!" Rose exclaimed. Joseph signed "My friends are all watching it and they told me to watch it. I'm also quite curious if Teen Titans is actually that good." Rose nodded, understanding Joseph.
"Same here. My friends told me to watch it so I am now," Rose said. They watched the screen. It first showed two of the Teen Titans members, Beast Boy and Raven, talking. Beast Boy apparently was doing a prank to payback on Cyborg and Joseph was already very freaked out.
"My friends were right! The characters do look like them!" Joseph exclaimed. Well, as much as you could exclaim when you were mute. Rose's eyes widened.
"Are you talking about Rachel Roth and Garfield Logan?" Rose asked. Joseph nodded. She looked back at the screen."Wow...how weird!"
"They're really shocked about it too. But Gar still loves the show," Joseph signed. Rose nodded and continued watching. Then, the Teen Titans theme song started playing.
"The Theme tune is a bit weird..." she muttered. Joseph privately agreed. Despite that, the two of them enjoyed the rest of the show but one part made Joseph and Rose feel a bit strange.
"That guy seemed a bit...familiar..." Rose said as the show ended. She was referring to the part where the old man who actually was quite powerful and he had some weird sort of voice that was so similar but neither of them could actually tell whose voice it was.
"What are you children watching?" Joseph's mother asked as she walked in.
"Teen Titans," Rose answered. "It's actually pretty good."
"Teen Titans? Hmm," their mother said thoughtfully. She looked at the T .V. screen which was now showing an anti-dandruff shampoo advert. She frowned. "Teen Titans is a...shampoo advert?" Joseph and Rose both looked at the screen in unison.
"No, it just finished," Rose explained, grinning. Their mother nodded. She got up. "Well I'm going to do my homework...but I can't do my Maths!"
"Joseph, why don't you help her?" their mother suggested kindly. Joseph got up which meant than he agreed to help his younger sister. Together, they left the lounge.
** ** ** ** **
The next day
Gar was wishing he had a moped while he ran to school. His tendency to kill the Principal was still intact and was planning to talk to Vic about a possible way to perhaps kill him. Or at least send him away to Antarctica. Gar was getting breathless as he took long strides and moved his arms to and fro. He was wishing he knew how to operate his stupid alarm clock...why did he shred the manual again? Gar was desperate to know the time so lifted his arm in front of him but there was no use trying to read it when he was going at forty miles per hour. As a result, he halted and peered at his watch. Two minutes left. Gar looked ahead. He could just make it...
Ignoring the protesting screams of 'STOP!!!!!' in his head, Gar continued his running but his legs were aching like crazy. Just before he died of exhaustion, he reached the school's entrance. Fortunately, the room which had the fan-mail in was on the ground floor. Gar slowed down considerably when he was inside the building knowing he'd get there in a couple of seconds. When he walked however, he saw Kori, Rachel, Vic and Richard's heads popping out of an avalanche of letters. Seeing this, Gar sped up towards them.
"Dudes! Are you alright?" he asked, concerned. The Fan Letters were sprawled all over the corridor floor. Some had skidded a few metres away but most of them were currently burying the four friends.
"No. Look at all the Fan Letters we have to read!" Rachel said, annoyed. She stood up and brushed any stray letters off of her black jumper (which Gar had to admit, Rachel looked nice in). Vic was looking around at the letters helplessly, a bit freaked out by the large amount. Kori was currently removing a letter from her long red hair. Richard just looked plain irritated.
"What? We have to read all of them?" Gar asked, surprised.
"Yes! The Principal told us...and he's so going to kill you dude. You're late," Vic informed him. Gar's eyes widened.
"Dude! Am I?" Gar said frantically. "I thought I was in time!"
"Don't worry man, he didn't mention a punishment...yet, anyway," Vic said, not very reassuringly. Gar glared at him.
"Would you mind getting out? You're kinda freaking me out dude...it's like you just have a head!" Gar asked. Vic got up, sending a shower of fan letters fall.
"Should we go in?" Kori asked, getting up also once she removed the letter from her hair.
"Is it safe? Are you sure no more fan letters are coming out?" Richard asked, cautiously.
"I think so," Rachel said. She stepped onto the fan letters lightly, and then padded into the room. Fan Letters were sprawled all over the floor, covering almost every inch of space. There were large mounds of letters which was covering the unseen teacher's desk. Some letters were small, others were big. Despite the sizes, it was most likely the small letters had the most writing. They all groaned simultaneously and walked to a random desk. Brushing some letters of their seat, they sat down. There was a small pile of letters at each desk which they could start with. But there was a problem.
"I don't know whose' whose!" Gar said, picking up random letters and scanning who it was for at the front. Some were for multiple people, others for one person and some for all of them. They all checked to see if the letters were jumbled up. Much to their despair, they were.
"Right," Rachel decided. "We should first, move all these letters into a pile over there." Rachel pointed to the existing mound of fan letters. "Then, we make piles which are separate from each other for a particular person or a group of people." The others agreed with this arrangement.
** ** ** ** **
Ten minutes later, the five of them had organised an efficient arrangement which aided them to read the fan letters more easily. They had lined up all the chairs against the walls and they had a small distance between them. The same was done for the small desks. The fan letters had been moved to the very large pile so the floor was clear of letters. However in the process of removing some fan letters, the avalanche of letters had cascaded slightly which made it even more difficult to leave the room. They removed the letters the five of them were sitting could sit on the floor, after checking it was free of any visible dirt. The other letters which were currently outside were forgotten for the moment. Hopefully, the Principal will slip up on them and get himself killed...
There were many different piles they realised once they finished sorting the letters out. There was one for Kori's letters, Gar's letters, Vic's letters, Rachel's letters, Richard's letters, Richard's and Kori's letters, Gar's and Rachel's letters, Vic's and Richard's letters etc. They had started with their own individual letters and then they were planning to move the other letters. They discovered that most of the fan letters were rather pointless like 'You're awesome!' or 'You rock' or 'You're so funny!'. But some were creepy, freaky, weird, strange, and long and Richard was currently reading a creepy one. Richard frowned as he read his.
"What's the matter Richard?" Kori asked him when she saw his expression. Richard simply handed her the letter.
"Look." Kori read it.
The fan letter:
I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you!
Love (he he),
Mary-Sue Holden
Kori frowned at it and then her expression changed to anger when she saw who it was from.
"Her!? Mary-Sue!? Typical!" Kori said loudly and handed the letter back. She seemed irritated so Richard silently took it back and planned to get rid of it later on. Rachel raised an eyebrow at Kori's outburst but didn't say anything. Instead, she pursued her letter.
The Fan Letter:
Raven, you're so awesome! I mean, your powers are amazing! I can't believe you go to school! I mean, shouldn't you be saving the world? Wait...but you're just the actors, I get it! Your hair's the best! I'm going to cut my hair like yours on Saturday! Then we can be best buddies! Won't that be so so so so awesome? We could read books together! Like...William Shakespeare or something! Though, I can't understand it! He he, maybe you could explain it to me! Yeah? Won't that be fun?
From,
Jenny
Rachel rolled her eyes at the content of the letter. These fans were really devoted! Purple hair wasn't exactly a common colour people had. Rachel got a lock of her hair and examined it. Who would want purple hair? Well, she had gotten purple hair when she was very young but she completely forgot why...or was it natural?
"Looking for split ends, Rachel?" Gar joked as he saw what Rachel was doing.
"No," Rachel said. "This girl wants to have her hair like me so we can be 'best buddies'."
"That's what I got here expect the person wants plastic surgery so he can have green skin," Gar said, a bit weirded out by idea. "Do they even do that?"
"Do you actually think that person would get plastic surgery?" Richard asked and he was actually serious. How far would these fans go to show that they loved Teen Titans? Gar was quiet for a moment when he thought of the idea.
"I think he would..." Gar said slowly. They all thought of the thought of that for a moment before hurriedly going back to reading the letters, cringing at the thought. Fortunately, most of the letters were short so it didn't take too long to read them. However, Vic was having some trouble to read his current letter as was Richard and Gar after a while. They kept turning their piece of paper this way and that, turning it upside down, squinting at it, bringing it close to their faces. Finally, Rachel had it.
"What's wrong?" she asked wearily. Gar continued examining his letter for a moment before answering.
"I can't read this!" he whined. Kori was confused.
"Gar, why can't you read it?" she asked. Gar handed her the letter without a word and Kori accepted it and attempted to read it. She too did the same gestures and movements as the other boys but instead started to read it out loud.
"Hi...I...I...am...an...aardvark? No, no...that's not it..." Kori muttered. Rachel raised her eyebrows.
"Vic, should I try and read it?" she offered.
"Be my guest!" he said and handed her the letter. She took it and read it also. After a few moments of scanning the paper, this was Rachel's reaction:
"Whoa," she said. "This person really, really needs to work on her or his penmanship." She continued to try and pursue it but no avail. It was just not legible.
"Hmm...I can see that's a 'u'...and that's an l...or is it a z?" Kori murmured to herself as she tried to somehow comprehend what Gar's letter said. While Kori was working on that, Gar got out another letter from his pile and started reading that. Kori was too busy trying to figure out the meaning of the scribbles to read her own letters.
"I give up!" she cried after ten minutes. She handed back Gar's letter. "We need to tell the Principal that we need people to write clearly."
"I still haven't worked what my letter means yet!" Richard exclaimed, frustrated though he wasn't reading that particular right at that moment which suggested he'd probably try and figure it out letter.
"Ditto," Vic muttered glumly. "You never know, we might just be tired of reading all of these darn letters."
"We've only been reading for an hour," Rachel sighed, disappointed that time was going very slowly, too slow for everyone's tastes. There separate piles were almost finished if you ignored the mountain of pointless unchecked letters outside the classroom. When Richard finished his final fan letter, he picked up the illegible one.
"Right...I'm going to try and figure out what this means," he announced as he tried to make out the letters.
"I'm still trying!" Vic said which meant he had started trying to work out what his illegible letter meant before Richard.
"Why do you are you trying?" Gar asked.
"It wastes time," Richard informed Gar. "And errr...I know we're supposed to be reading letters but the Principal did say we needed to read everything...so it's not our fault is it?" Knowing this, Gar grabbed his illegible letter and started pursuing it too.
"I think all these letters are from the same person," Rachel pointed out.
"Thanks for telling us that, Mrs. Obvious," Richard said sarcastically. After a while of a few mutterings and guesses, Richard announced that he had figured out what the letter said. This grabbed everyone else's attention.
"Hello, my name is Sally with the Jam Jar," Richard read, seemingly oblivious of the randomness of it. "I you love my singing is great! Teen Tyrants are so cold! I hate my his stupid idiotic annoying green fingers! Jam Jars are awesome, are not they? They have a huge, small connection with the Titan Teens! Silly Billy said he hated me! I was so happy about that, aren't that it so annoyed too? Five hundred people in each person! So Kitty my dog told me it hated me which made me little sad. How do animals know that so hardly? Teen Titans is amazing! You suck, oh Rollin! You're so hoot! I bet you can you he she it! BYE!" Silence dawned amongst them after taking in the bizarre contents of the fan letter.
"I don't think you read it right," Vic said, after a while. Kori was pretty freaked out by Richard's interpretation of his letter as were the others.
"It's the best I can do," Richard said. He shoved the fan letter on the read fan letters pile. "Now, since that's over with let's start on the other piles. Are you guys done with yours?"
"Dude, I still need to read my letter!" Gar protested, waving the illegible writing printed letter in the air. "Would you mind helping me?" Gar added, with a bit of irritation. So, Rachel, Kori and Richard went over and stood behind Gar to try and read the letter.
"Oh, I'm fine reading this myself, thanks for asking!" Vic yelled, annoyed and sarcastically. Richard went over hurriedly to help him.
** ** ** ** **
"AHHH!"
The sound of someone's yell ceased the reading of the fan letter immediately. Richard, Kori, Rachel, Gar and Vic all whipped their heads around to the direction of the source of the noise. The classroom's door was open as a mountain of fan letters had cascaded down the entrance and into the hallway. Rachel craned her neck to let her eyes see through the doorway and she saw who had caused the noise.
"Principal!" she said indignantly. This one word was a shock to the others and almost immediately, they were scrambling off the floor and were climbing over the pile of letters. This was surprisingly as hard thing to do as if you grabbed onto a letter, you would simply slide down and end up on the floor once more. It didn't help that they were all going at once and frantically at that. However, they finally made it over after a few slides and small avalanches. They found the Principal had fallen over which explained why Rachel had shouted 'Principal!'. He was face first on the floor with letters splattered all over his body. Before, they were perfectly happy if the Principal had fallen over the letters and killed himself. At first they thought their hopes would come true but alas, the Principal groaned loudly which indicated his heart was still beating. At least the first half of their wishes came true...
"Are you alright?" Gar asked, concerned. The Principal made no movement. The five of them were worried about what was going to happen next. The Principal then pushed himself off the floor, put his feet down firmly and turned to face them.
Uh-oh.
The sight of his red face, the Rachel, Kori, Vic, Richard and Gar took a step back in fear. Red face, steam coming out his ears, eyes bloodshot...nope, not a good sign.
"WHY ARE THERE LETTERS ALL OVER THE FLOOR!?!" The Principal bellowed, flecks of spit going all over the teenagers'. How disgusting.
"There...was...a...letter avalanche?" Richard suggested weakly, chuckling nervously. Silent for a moment...
"LETTER AVALANCHE!?" It was a surprise that there wasn't a letter avalanche then, due to the extremely loud voice. Their ear drums were close to bursting. They didn't say anything else after that.
"Do you want another punishment!? Now, sort this out! We need to finish at least half of these letters today!" the Principal barked at them. He suddenly brought out brooms, Cillit Bang bottles (BANG! And the dirt is gone!) and a mop. He handed the cleaning equipment to Kori, Richard, Vic, Rachel and Gar roughly. "Clean this up! You have one and a half hour left!"
"One and a half!? Are you joking!?" Vic spluttered, without thinking. The Principal narrowed his eyes.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" The Principal snapped. One look on his face and you could practically see 'Serious' written across his forehead. Realising that was a rhetorical question, Vic gulped.
"You need to be faster! People paid good money to post these letters so the Teen Titans could read them!" the Principal said.
"Wait, money?" Richard was surprised. "You charge people to post fan letters?"
"Of course I do!" the Principal looked at Richard as if he was dumb. "This school is lacking money and we need money to restore swimming pool!" The five teens remembered that unpleasant incident almost immediately when the Principal said that.
"But...you're lying to people!" Kori exclaimed. "We're not the Teen Titans!"
"Sssh! Quiet, girl!" the Principal hissed. "Now go! Hurry up!" he stormed off, still furious. Rachel looked at her Cillit Bang Bottle.
"Why on earth would we need this?" Rachel threw the bottle away and a cat meow could be heard afterwards. "It will make the letters soggy."
"I hate the Principal," Richard muttered, unhelpfully.
"Like we don't know," Rachel quipped. She grabbed a broom and started sweeping the letters in. Vic, who had been handed a mop, did the same method which Rachel used to dispose of it. He then did the work manually as the others used the brooms (he had handed them four brooms as the Principal can't count.)
** ** ** ** **
Richard and Gar flopped onto the floor. They were both worn out from the sweeping and carrying of fan letters into a huge pile. You might start thinking their lazy but in fact; putting about 1 million fan letters into a pile with them always sliding off is rather difficult. It was extremely tricky to stop letters from sliding down somewhere smooth off the mountain but eventually it had been done.
"My arms hurt..." Kori moaned as she tried moving her arm at the elbow joint. She whimpered. "I swear the Principal is trying to kill us."
"...you may be right," Vic said, agreed to what Kori said which surprised her.
"How much time do we have left?" Rachel asked who was the only one who wasn't showing any sign of pain or exhaustion (Richard and Gar were on the floor, Kori was whimpering and Vic was leaning against the wall breathing quickly). She didn't wait for an answer as she inspected the positions of the hands on a clock on a wall.
"We really need to hurry up, we have an hour left." Rachel said, deadpanned. Aching body parts were forgotten almost immediately and they sprinted back into action. Since their small piles were finished, they started to get to work on the group piles. The biggest piles were Robin and Starfire ones and Beast Boy and Raven ones (Kori and Richard and Gar and Rachel respectively). Vic found that he had no piles that he could read (he had run out of his own fan letters).
"What should I do?" Vic mused to himself.
"How about sorting out the rest of the letters?" Rachel suggested. Vic was reluctant about that but he decided to do that anyway as they were going to run out of time soon. While Vic did the boring job, the others had to read their fan letters.
Kori, Richard, Gar and Rachel found that most of their joint fan letters were written by girls.
To Robin and Starfire!!!!! WOW!!!!
Like you guys are like so cuuuuuuutttttttteeeeeeeeeee together!!! I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!!! Who can't see that!?!!?!?!?!?! Like, like, like ROBIN!!!!! Your hair's amazing!!!!! I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!!! I'd go out with you if Starfire wasn't around! But she's still awesoooommmeeeee! YOU GUYS NEED TO GET TOGETHER NOW!!!! NOW!!!! Or I shall kill you!!!! HAHAHA! Joking!!! You didn't realise that, did you?
"This girl abuses the use of letters," Richard said bluntly. He whipped the letter in the read letters pile which was increasing rather rapidly. "What are we going to do with the finished letters?" Rachel and Gar stopped reading their letters to see how big the pile was getting.
"Shred it? Burn it? Explode it?" Gar suggested, getting more adventurous every time.
"I'd like to burn them," Kori said rather frankly. "On the roof the Principal's house." Richard, Gar, Rachel and Vic stared at Kori.
"Right..." Richard trailed off. "Um...well...let's go onto the next letter."
** ** ** ** **
To: Raven and Beast Boy
Wow! You are so awesome together; I mean why don't you go out? Is Raven a bit too mean for you Beast Boy? She's probably doing that since she likes you! Though, it's usually the other way around but who cares? Please, please, please get together! I'd love you if you do! Can't you understand that you guys have feelings for each other? Are you blind?
"Great," Rachel said when she finished the letter. "All these people say is that we look good together."
"Uh...same here," Richard said and Rachel noticed a red tinge on his cheeks. There was a similar tint of red on Kori's cheeks too. Rachel hoped she didn't look anything like them as well...didn't you read the letter!? It was quiet after that for a moment where all four of them seemed to be a bit pink with embarrassment and uh...stuff from the letters they read. Vic didn't notice as he was too busy sorting out the fan letters. But he did notice the sudden quietness.
"Right, y'all, what's got you so quiet?" Vic asked as he turned around.
"Nothing," they all said simultaneously and rapidly grabbed letters and started reading them to avoid any questions from Vic.
Gah...I'm taking longer than usual to update! Hopefully, when I finish one of my stories I will be a bit quicker...so did you like this? Again, review and I mean it. I don't just say this out of habit you know.
If you guys have any suggestions, I'll be very happy to use them! I want this story to continue as long as possible. Sorry about the lack of romance...
