'You have to concentrate, concentrate . . .' Raven was trying to look up a spell to restore Starfire and Silkie to their proper bodies, but it was too hard to focus with Beast Boy's sobbing.

"Beast Boy!" Raven screamed from across the room. "Get over it!"

He sobbed louder.

Raven sighed; annoyed she walked over to the kitchen, reached into the fridge and grabbed a blue Powerade. She held it up to Beast Boy. "Look, sugar. Drink it."

Beast Boy stared at it then turned away. "No, it's sad."

"What?"

"It's blue. It's sad."

Grumbling to herself, Raven picked up the Powerade and a permanent marker, and then drew a happy face on it. "Here."

"Yay!" Beast Boy grabbed it and rocked it in his arms. "I'm going to call you Darlene."

As Beast Boy stared at the energy drink, Raven realized he was talking to the Powerade. She walked away as he started singing to 'Darlene'. Raven shook her head and sat down beside Starfire.

"Friend Raven?" Starfire said from her wormlike body.

"What is it Starfire?"

"I am not bothering you am I?"

"No." Not yet, that is . . .

"Have you found the way to get me back to my normal body yet, I would be most happy."

"No, I haven't Star." She said, trying as hard as she could not to strangle the maggot thing beside her.

"Oh, okay."

Raven looked back at her spell book. 'Why is it so hard to find a spell that works? I wouldn't have to do this if Silkie hadn't eaten the remote. Wait, where is Silkie?'

"Oh no." Across the room Beast Boy was protecting Darlene from a thirsty Silkie.

"No! Get away! It's okay Darlene. Stay with me, don't go into the light!" Silkie grabbed Darlene and started drinking her.

"No! Give Darlene back!" Beast Boy grabbed Darlene and ran behind the couch, near Raven. "Oh Darlene! I'm sorry she hurt you. She will pay!"

"Again, Beast Boy that's not Starfire it's Silkie they switched bodies." Beast Boy was brushing off Darlene and looking for dents. "And you don't care." Raven finished.

"Darlene has suffered a major lose of blood. She may not live . . . to see . . . tomorrow." Beast Boy broke off crying.

"Jeez, how much can a guy cry?" The green titan sobbed tears all over Darlene, wiping them off every few seconds. "Looks like a lot." Raven said to herself.

'I shouldn't have made him so attached to that drink. What will happen when the bottle goes empty?' Raven thought

All of a sudden Beast Boy shouted to Raven. "Look Rae!" He said happily. "Darlene can breakdance!"

Beast Boy spun Darlene around on her bottom rim, making Darlene spin. Then he knocked the plastic bottle over and spun her on her side. "My Darlene is talented! She is the best friend ever. She is my baby. I love you Darlene!"

Beast Boy hugged the bottle so hard the plastic bent in and there was a cracking noise. "Oh Darlene, I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. Shh, it's okay Darlene, it's okay."

Raven couldn't take it anymore. "Beast Boy, it's a plastic bottle with liquid sugar inside."

Beast Boy gasped, covering the cap of the Powerade bottle named Darlene, he said. "Don't speak about Darlene like that." Lowering his voice he said. "She can hear you."

"Enough. I gave you that drink in order for you to drink it, not for you to act like it's your baby." Raven said, annoyed with Darlene.

Shocked once again at Raven's insults at Darlene he held the plastic bottle tighter to his body. "I am not acting. You are insulting both Darlene and me. I am going somewhere where we can be appreciated; the other couch." He walked off and sat down 2 feet away and started apologizing to Darlene for Raven's rudeness.

'I need to get rid of Darlene. Wait; did I just call that piece of plastic Darlene? Oh no. I'm starting to crack.' Raven looked over at Beast Boy. 'This is all your fault your know.'

Mentally laughing to herself she thought. 'I would make the worst , -Leader- Robin! I can't believe I forgot!'

Raven looked around. Crumpled in a corner was the unconscious body of Robin. 'I didn't even put him it a chair or on a bed or sofa. I don't do well in charge do I?'

She put one of Robin's arms on her shoulder and grabbed his side. Surprisingly, he was pretty light. 'For a teenaged boy, you don't weigh much. Do you ever eat? Then again you do hours of training each day. But who am I to judge?'

Depositing Robin on the couch, Raven made sure she knew where each titan, and Silkie, was and what they were doing.

Beast Boy was reading Darlene a story; no wait, comic, my mistake. He would never read a real book, only one with tons of pictures.

Starfire was sleeping peacefully, stretched out on her back. She took up barely any room in Silkie's body. In her own body, the whole chair she was laying on would be covered, with long limbs hanging over the arms of it.

Robin was still knocked out, lying almost perfectly still, except for the slow rise and fall of his chest.

Silkie was now raiding the kitchen.

And Cyborg . . . Where was Cyborg?

"Wee! I'm a plane! Wee!" Cyborg pretended he was a plane and made shooting sounds as he ran.

'Is he nuts?'

"Lets go fly over the rainbow and talk to the starfish riding the rainbow pony! Wee!"

'Yes, yes he is.'

"Oooo, can I come? Darlene really wants to come! Please!" Beast Boy ran over with Darlene, hoping to go with Cyborg to nuttyland.

"Board the purple cheese monkey rocket powered bathtub train and we'll be off!" Cyborg said miming opening a door.

The two walked around the titan's tower yelling. "Chugga-chugga-choo-choo!"

"Wee! Raven join us!" Cyborg said.

"No, she can't. First she has to apologize to Darlene." Beast Boy said, crossing his arms.

"I don't even want to come on the train. I just-" She sighed and mumbled. "I'm sorry Darlene."

"Darlene forgives you." Beast Boy said.

"One more thing about Darlene and I'll strangle you."

Beast Boy stepped back.

"Good choice, now move I'm going behind Cyborg." Raven said, shoving Beast Boy aside.

"But, that's Darlene's spot."

Raven turned around furious.

"Darlene can move."

Raven stepped in front of Beast Boy. Behind Cyborg she had access to all of his main circuits and cords in his back. Raven studied the metal cover concealing what she needed to get to. She unscrewed the bolts, then grabbed a few cords and yanked them out. He powered off almost instantaneously.

"There, one thing taken care of, now just a few more to go."

"NO!" Raven heard someone shout, she spun around. Beast Boy was kneeled on the ground looking at Darlene. Blue Powerade was spilt across the floor, the empty bottle rolled around on the ground.

"Darlene!" He cried. "She was so young! Why did she have to die! WHY!"
