Um, so I'd like to apologize for that last chapter. I was reading a bunch of creepypastas right before I wrote it. So yeah, sorry about that. Anyway, this story got over 1,000 reviews! Woohoo! Go wykkyd, go wykkyd! Haha, alright. Lets get on with the chapter!
Kole observed Beast Boy as the two ate their breakfast. Kole thought to herself as Beast Boy took another bite of tofu. 'Why was he so frightened by Robin?' She wondered. 'Was Robin a part of Beast Boy's nightmare?' Kole narrowed her eyes as these thoughts ran through her mind. 'If he was part of it, then it must have been really scary.' She noticed that Beast Boy still seemed on edge as he swallowed more tofu. Kole cringed. How could he eat that stuff? She may have been a vegetarian, but that didn't mean she liked tofu.
Beast Boy glanced up from his plate, and noticed Kole staring at him. He gave her a reassuring grin, before turning his attention back to his tofu. Kole narrowed her eyes. She was not convinced by that smile. Taking a deep breath she asked, "So what about Robin had you so spooked?" Beast Boy froze, staring at Kole like she had just slapped him in the face. He gulped down the chunk of tofu in his mouth.
"I don't know what you're talking about," he denied. Kole crossed her arms over her chest, and gave him "the look." (Guys, you all know this look. You've all been on the receiving end.)
"I may be a bit naive, but I'm not stupid." She hissed, looking slightly offended. "I know when there is something wrong with someone." She looked into his eyes. "Now tell me what's wrong." She demanded. Beast Boy sighed, and put his fork down.
"It just has something to do with my nightmare," he muttered. "Just forget about it." Kole scooted her chair next to Beast Boy, and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I want to know what's wrong." She told him. Beast Boy shook his head.
"I don't want to mentally scar you, Kole." Kole squeezed her grip on his shoulder.
"Tell me anyway." She said. Beast Boy hesitated, then nodded.
"At first, it started out as us winning the tournament," he began. He paused, making sure he had her attention. "It was great, everyone was happy. But then Robin..." Beast Boy stopped. He felt Kole place a reassuring hand on his. He continued. "But then he pulled out a birdarang, and he...he killed you Kole. You died in my arms, and there was nothing I could do." Tears began to leak out of his eyes. He shook his head, and took a deep breath. "So then I wake up, and I make my way to the common room, thinking that the nightmare was over. But then when I enter, Robin is sitting on the couch. And he had this wild grin on his face." He glanced at Kole, wh simply stared at him, giving no obvious signs of fright or sadness.
"So then we begin a conversation," he continued. "But his words quickly grow more and more phycotic. Until finally he pulls out a birdarang and says, 'Run.' I ran, but I kept on hearing his laughter behind me, saying 'I killed Kole' over and over. He then starts chasing me." He paused again, his eyes filled with fright. He then continued to speak. "So I finally make it to my room, and I lock the door. But then I hear banging on it, followed by a messed up voice. Like, it kept on changing pitches, and it sounded distant, yet so close. It kept on trying to convince me to let it in, and it just continued to laugh. I hid under the bed, and eventually the voice went away. Then I woke up."
Kole remained silent through the whole story, but niow she looked kind of disturbed. She glanced up at him, eyes wide. "That sounds like a really scary dream." She murmured. Beast Boy nodded.
"Yeah," he agreed. "It does." He sighed, then stood up, and walked out of the kitchen. "Come find me on the roof when you're done." He said over his shoulder. Kole just sat there, still processing the dream in her head. She shuddered. She didn't know it would be THAT scary! No wonder Beast Boy was so frightened by Robin! She would be too. Kole looked around the room, a bit startled by the way the atmosphere turned cold. She shivered, and quickly finished her cereal. She then hurriedly made her way to the roof.
When she reached the roof, she saw Beast Boy smiling warmly at her. Geez, was the guy bipolar or something? Kole shook her head. No time for that. She got into a battle stance, as did Beast Boy. The two circled one another, each anticipating the other. Kole finally took a deep breath, and lunged. She quickly slid between Beast Boy's legs, before springing up onto his shoulders. She flipped her body around, causing him to be thrown across their little sparring area. Beast Boy landed on his feet, and shook his head. Now was not the time to think about how he felt Kole's panties on the back of his head. Growling, he turned into a gorilla, and threw a punch at Kole. She jumped to dodge it, and ran up the animal's arm. She then leaped from its shoulder, changing her leg into crystal.
The gorilla grabbed her leg, though. He swung the girl, tossing her away effortlessly. Kole gracefully landed, and nimbly dodged the bull charging at her. She kicked its head, causing it to change into Beast Boy. Beast Boy then disappeared from view, much to Kole's confusion. She did not notice the wolf crouching behind her. She turned around, only to be tackled by the wolf. The wolf growled, frightening Kole. The wolf seemed to notice this, so it gave Kole a small lick on her nose. Kole giggled, but then froze when she heard a voice.
"Um, are we interrupting something?" Kole whirled her head around, and blushed when she saw Jericho and Herald standing there. The wolf hopped off of her, and changed back into Beast Boy, who looked away, scratching the back of his head. It was Herald who spoke (obviously) and he had a facial expression that looked half amused, and half confused. Jericho looked pissed, however. He glared at Beast Boy, who sheepishly grinned back, still blushing.
"It's not what you think." Kole reassured them. Herald raised an eyebrow, but then sighed.
"We came by to wish you good luck at the second round tomorrow." He said. Then he cocked his head a bit. "That, and to ask you if you want to go out for pizza." Beast Boy's head perked up at the mention of pizza. He glanced hopefully at Kole, who smiled and nodded.
"Sure," she answered. "I've never had pizza before." She noticed the shocked looks that the boys gave her. "What?" She asked. "I live in a prehistoric world under the Arctic, give me a break." All the guys glanced at one another, their eyes saying "Pizza. Now."
...
Beast Boy anxiously observed Kole as she raised the pizza slice to her open mouth. Jericho bit his nails, and Herald silently prayed to the gods of all religions. Kole bit down on the slice, and chewed slowly. She swallowed, and grinned. "It's good." She stated.
All the guys sighed in relief, and took their own slices. Herald decided to start off a conversation. "So do you guys know who your facing tomorrow?" He asked. Kole shook her head.
"No, not yet," She answered. "Although I'm a bit nervous." Beast Boy patted Kole's shoulder.
"Everyone is." He said. "I mean, we made it this far. It would suck if we lost." Jericho placed his hand on Kole's, blushing slightly.
"You can win this, Kole." He signed. "Hell, I bet you can even beat Robin, too."
Beast Boy growled. "You mean WE can beat Robin." He hissed, wrapping an arm around Kole's shoulders. The two glared, sizing each other up. Herald shifted his eyes between the two heroes, before coughing loudly.
"Anyway," he said, trying to break the tension. He turned to Kole. "How are the other titans doing?"
"Great," Kole answered. But she found herself glancing at her two other friends. 'Why are they being so hostile towards each other?' She thought. She shook her head. 'It's probably just a guy thing.'
...
The next day, Kole woke up bright and early. She stretched, before walking out into the halls to take a shower. She noticed a paper taped to the door. She stopped, and glanced at it.
Match #1: Raven/Wondergirl vs Kyd Wykkyd/Angel
Match #2: Beast Boy/Kole vs Bushido/Killowat
Match #3: Robin/Starfire vs Negative Man/Robotman
Match #4: Cyborg/Bumblebee vs Hot Spot/Argent
Kole noticed how she and Beast Boy would be going up against Bushido and Killowat. The nervous feeling returned. Could they do it? She had watched their match against Gnarrk and Red Star, and their teamwork was absolutely amazing. They were probably going to be tough opponents. Kole briefly wondered if Robin had done this on purpose, like he wanted them to lose. Probably. Kole narrowed her eyes, and shoved her nervousness away. She continued to walk towards the shower, thinking to herself.
'You better be careful, Robin," she thought. "Because Beast Boy and I will give you one heck of a run for your money.'
Welcome to the Hotel California! Just kidding. Welcome to the end of the chapter. Hope you enjoyed it! And it seems like we have a bit of a rivalry going on here. ;)
