Hey Y'all, I'm back! Took me a while to finish this chapter, I'm usually pretty fast, But I wasn't in the mood.
Anyway, Thanks again Somewhere In Time and also fabmab and Nickie, Your reviews mean a lot to me. (I feel the way I felt when I got my first allowance!)
One thing, I'm not to sure whether or not Cyborg seems in character. Maybe I'm just tired....
Read and Review please!!!
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, yet... (just kiddin'!)
Chapter 4
"Shotgun!" Happy called as the Titans entered the garage.
"You got it Rae," Cyborg hopped into the drivers' seat.
The back seat was in this order: Beastboy, Starfire, Robin.
"This time BB, keep your head inside the vehicle. Understand? I don't want you messin' up my paint job again." Cyborg asked. He started the car and they floated across the body of water that separated them from the mainland.
The excitement of being in the car was almost too much for Happy to bear. She pressed the buttons that changed the music from station to station until she found a nice upbeat song that complimented her attitude.
"That is quite an interesting song selection, friend." Starfire said. "I did not know you liked such music."
"Like it?" Happy giggled. "I LOVE it!"
Nevermore…
"Knowledge, why is it so hard for me to contact Happy?" Raven asked, thoroughly annoyed.
"I believe it is because she is no longer apart of you. She has somehow broken loose, broken free of this imprisonment. I fear there is no way to actually contact her now, for she is no longer inside of you."
"What am I supposed to do then?"
"We must sit here and wait." Knowledge said plainly. "While Happy is not the smartest of us emoticlones, I am fairly sure that she can tell that something is amiss. It is most likely that she will confront your meditation mirror. Then we will be closer to solving this puzzle."
Raven groaned and rubbed her temple.
The pizza place…
"Are we gettin' this to go, or are we gonna eat here?" Cyborg asked the rest of the crew.
"I propose that we do the eating here." Starfire said.
Robin agreed. The waiter took them to their table. Robin pulled out Starfires chair for her, before he himself sat down.
"Okay guys," Robin said. "Let's be quick about ordering this time, alright?"
Starfire and Robin agreed to a cheese pizza, Cyborg ordered his own, a meaty-supreme. Beastboy, chose a vegetarian pizza, with bell peppers and such. Happy couldn't make up her mind so they agreed to let her try a piece of each one.
They sat at a round table in this order, Robin, Starfire, 'Raven', Cyborg, Beastboy then back around to Robin.
The pizza came.
"Oh Yeah," Cyborg said, picking up the whole pizza, minus one slice, then shoving it in his mouth. "This is the best pizza I've had all day!!"
"This is not the only pizza you have had today?" Starfire asked
Cyborg just smiled. "Well dig in y'all! I'm already finished."
Happy tried the cheese pizza first. "Mmm, this is good!" She quickly ate her first piece.
"You wanna try BB's next?" Cyborg asked her. "I think you'll really like it." Secretly he was hoping she would be full before she could get to the last piece of meaty-supreme, so he could have it himself.
"Sure!"
Beastboy happily handed her a slice of his pizza. She took a bite.
"You like it?" He asked, hoping she would.
She could not say anything at the moment, for her mouth was full, but she smiled sweetly and shook her head yes.
"Cool! Now I have a pizza partner!"
"Pizza partner?" Cyborg asked, a puzzled look on his face. "What on earth does that mean?"
"Er…well it means I now know someone else who likes the same kinda pizza I do." Beastboy explained.
"Neat-O!" Happy shouted.
Cyborg just rolled his eyes and turned towards the two who sat across from him. Starfire apparently had a little bit of pizza sauce on her face and Robin took his time wiping it off with his napkin. Starfire giggled slightly and turned slightly pinker as a blush swept across her face. Cyborg merely chuckled. He thought the scene quite funny. "Well aren't you two cute." He said smiling.
They turned and looked at him.
"Why don't you stop making fun of us and focus on your own personal matters." Robin said. It was pretty obvious he was annoyed with Cyborg. "Since you seem to be finished with your dinner why don't you go and give Bumblebee a call. You can, after all reach anyone on your communicator."
'Bumblebee?' Cyborg asked himself. 'What does he mean by that? He can't possibly know that I've had a massive crush on her……No! It's not massive, it's not even a crush, I just like how strong and independent she is and how well she leads her team…'
"Totally likes him…" Beastboy was saying
"Really?" Happy asked
"What?" Cyborg asked, not exactly sure the present conversation.
"It's true!" Beastboy said.
"Speedy told me you turned down dancing with her for a Gamestation 2." Robin stated.
'Were they talking about Bumblebee?' Cyborg wondered. 'I Guess it couldn't be any one else. Wait, I traded HER for a round on the gamestation??"
"The titans east have a gamestation 2!?!" Beastboy said. "How come we still play the original gamestation?"
"You okay Cyborg?" Robin asked. "You look a little worried."
"Is there any such thing we can assist you with?" Starfire asked.
"No," He answered. "Just gotta go use the restroom… " He got up and walked away.
"I do hope he is okay." Starfire said before returning to her pizza.
"He's probably fine." Robin smiled a reassuring smile at her. She smiled back.
Outside of the men's room…
"Hey Bee, how you doin'?" Cyborg asked.
"Not bad sparky. It's nice to see you." He could see Bumblebee through the communicator's tiny screen.
"Nice to see you too…"
Nevermore…
"Ughh…" Raven moaned, her head resting in her hands. "Okay, I think its obvious Happy isn't coming back soon. How did this even happen?" She was asking this to no one in particular, but knowledge was listening and tried to help her as best as she could.
"Can you remember anything unusual before you fell asleep? It may give us suggestions as to how this happened."
"If I could remember some thing unusual I would've told you."
"True. Perhaps tell me everything that happened in as much detail as you can. It may help you recognize something you did not notice before."
"You're apart of me, right?" Raven asked her yellow cloaked doppelganger. "Don't you know all this already?"
"Indeed I do. But like I said before, this is really about you finding something out that you did not know before."
Raven sighed. "Okay," Then she began her story.
The Pizza place…
"Hey Cy," Robin said. "You're back."
"We have already paid for the meal of pizza." Starfire said. "We are free to leave once you are ready, Cyborg."
"You seem happy," Robin pointed out.
Cyborg just smiled. "Well then, let's pack up and head home. It's gettin' late anyway"
"Late?" Happy cried.
"Its only 7:30!" Beastboy complained.
"It doesn't matter what time it is we gotta head home." Robin said as he picked up the last bits of pizza they had to take home. "Besides its not like you have to go to bed when you get home."
"Yeah," Beastboy agreed. "I'm not tired."
"Me neither." Happy agreed.
They all filed into the T-car.
This time Robin sat up front.
Starfire, Raven and Beastboy sat in that order in the backseat.
Before they had reached the halfway mark on their way home, both Beastboy and Raven had fallen asleep. Raven resting her head on Beastboy's shoulder.
'And they said they weren't tired…' Cyborg thought to himself as he glanced at them through the rearview mirror.
Sorry, this is my shortest chapter. Nothing major is going on either. But you got to have filler chapters sometime, right?
Gotta go back to scholl tomarrow, so I might not update 'till this weekend.
Take care and God Bless!!
