Raven walked out of her room, hair still wet from her shower. She was glad to be rid of the toilet stink and just wanted to get the spell for Starfire and Silkie over and done with. But first she had to find Silkie.
'Where are you Silkie?' Raven wondered.
As Raven approached the door to the titan's main room she heard, giggling? She opened the door. "What the-? Beast Boy!"
Starfire was laughing as she watched Beast Boy draw a mustache on Robin's still face. Raven suppressed a laugh and put up her hood to hide her smile. Robin looked ridiculous with the drawn on mustache, and Raven was surprised he didn't wake up from the strong odor of the permanent marker. Robin was going to kill Beast Boy when he woke up.
"Beast Boy!" Raven said again. She grabbed the marker from his hand.
"Aww, but I was having so much fun! Can't I give him a beard?"
"No."
"Uni-brow?"
"No!"
"Sideburns?"
"NO!"
"A beauty mark?"
"Beast Boy!"
"Fine." Beast Boy slumped down into the couch, disappointed. "You're no fun Raven."
"Yeah, yeah. Where's Silkie?"
"Dunno." Beast Boy flipped on the television and flipped through channels looking at each one for a second before moving on to the next. "You know what I'm kinda hungry."
"And you want me to do what?" Raven asked knowing what his answer would be.
"Can you make me something to eat?"
Raven glared at him. "No."
"Aww, but I'm hungry!"
"I am not touching your tofu." Raven grabbed some sugary cereal. "Eat this."
"I can't have milk."
"Then eat the cereal plain." Beast Boy grumbled something and stuffed the food into his mouth. As much as she hating asking she said. "Did you want something Starfire?"
"I would enjoy some the glorious yellow mustard." Starfire answered with a dreamy expression across her face.
'Jeez, most girls look like that over guys. Not mustard.' Raven rolled her eyes and walked to the fridge. Sitting where it always was, was Starfire's beloved mustard. Raven had to move the last Powerade they had to get to it and in the action of moving the drink, Beast Boy saw it out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head slowly to face Raven.
"Darlene!" He dropped the box of cereal and sped over to Raven, then asked. "Is that Darlene?"
"No. That crumpled piece of plastic is Darlene." She said pointing to the half destroyed bottle on the counter.
"Then who's that?" Beast Boy asked staring at the drink.
"Not Darlene."
"I know, you told me." Beast Boy said. "Why can't I have Britney?"
"No, no, no, we are not doing this all over again."
"Gimme Britney!"
"NO!"
"Please! It will help ease the pain from the lose Darlene."
"Erg, fine. Just don't . . ." Beast Boy had already ran off to do whatever with 'Britney'. Raven quietly finished her sentence. "Make a big deal about it."
Raven walked over to the wormy Silkie and gave her the bottle of mustard with a straw sticking out.
Listening in on Beast Boy's conversation with Britney, she heard. "So you don't get destroyed like Darlene did I'm going to teach you some simple defense moves. Ready?" Beast Boy did a bunch of weird looking jumps and Raven wondered how that would even help you at all. She looked away, shaking her head. She toned out everyone in the room.
"Can we have a real funeral for Darlene? Britney thinks we should too." Beast Boy asked Raven, startling her
"I hope you mean throwing Darlene in the recycling kind of funeral."
Beast Boy thought about it. "Good enough for me."
"This will be fun, will it not? Raven, what is this joyous occasion called a funeral?" Starfire asked.
"Starfire, a funeral is when you have a ceremony for someone's death." Raven explained.
"Oh. I did not know." Starfire said, sad. "Does this mean Darlene is dead?"
"In, in a way." Raven said trying to explain. Starfire started crying out fat tears. It was strange seeing a worm cry, kind of depressing actually. 'Argh, it is so hard to explain these things to Starfire.'
"If we have a funeral we need Cyborg fixed and Starfire back in her body." Beast Boy said numbering the things off his fingers.
"And you're asking me to do it?"
"Yes?" Beast Boy answered, saying his answer in a question.
"I will get Starfire her body back, but you have to fix Cyborg." Raven said, regretting her choice a little bit, but how much damage could he do to Cyborg anyway? "You made him like that in the first place."
"Okay! Lets go to Cyborg's room Britney!" While Raven watched him run off, she heard a crash, then Beast Boy saying. "Whoops, wait is that supposed to look like that. Oh, no."
'Oh no is right. I shouldn't have given him permission into Cyborg's room. Too late now, I guess.'
Do you know where Silkie is Starfire?"
"Let me think." Starfire licked mustard off of her lips. "I saw Silkie in the room of training, but then Silkie left."
The training room is one floor down from my room. If Silkie moved up a level then it would be in . . .' "My room!" Raven shouted and transported to the hallway outside her room.
After Raven left, Starfire went back to sipping her mustard.
