A/N: Hello fellow readers. So, just a refresher, this chapter is a fan request from a guest that amused me enough to request Eris to think of a proper story for it. Thank you Eris, and credit to the guest that wanted this Laundry Day sequel. I'll write it to the best of my ability. Also, we reached 2000+ views and over 10 favorites and followers! We're really starting to pick up steam! Also, I apologize in advance if I mess up Mad Mod in this. I tried looking for a website for 1960s British slang, but I couldn't find one for that specific need, so I'm just using British slang I know of.
Beast Boy was not having a good day. While in town, he came across a few... he wasn't sure what -ist they were but a few guys in the city made fun of him for being green and looking like a mutated elf-goblin for having pointed ears and being short. Normally he wasn't bothered by the occasional jerks that were likely tourists, but just how intensely and persistent they were making fun of him really got underneath his skin. He scared them off by turning into a bear, but the hurt still remained. It reminded him of the time when the titans were telling Robin about why he didn't want powers, and his reasons hit him hard today. He went to Cyborg's room and knocked. The metallic titan opened up and smiled at his best friend.
"Hey BB. What up?"
"Can you use some sort of hologram whatchamacallit or exo-skeletons stuff, dude? I want to look normal for at least a few hours."
"Oh, sorry to here you're having one of those low days. I'd love to help, but my portable hologram mask is for some reason locked on one person and I'm trying to figure out the glitch." Showing him said mask and put it on, only to turn into comic book writer Marv Wolfman. Taking it off he said, "I don't know who Marv Wolfman is but apparently he's a good comic book writer. I should look into his stuff. Sorry bro." Beast Boy sighed.
"It's okay bro. Maybe I should talk to the others. See if they can help." Going to Starfire's room, he knocked on her door, though he swung at thin air when it opened before he hit the door, showing a distressed Starfire.
"Oh, do not worry my little bumgorf. I will get you to the vet."
"Something wrong with Silkie?" The shapeshifter asked.
"Yes. He has eaten the zorkaberries again and is having the allergic reaction."
"Will a vet even know what to do? They normally don't do moth larvae. Especially mutated ones."
"I have got to at least try! I got to go! Sorry!" Starfire called out as she flew past him quickly. So Starfire was out, so he went to Robin, only to read a note on the door.
Titans, I'm having a serious talk with Batman. No interruptions unless it's an emergency. Grumbling, Beast Boy went to Raven's room and knocked, and the sorceress answered.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Do you have a spell or what not to change one's appearance?"
"Of course I do. But why would I do it for you? You're not up to one of your pranks, are you?"
"No. I'm just having a bad day is all. I want to be normal looking like Robin." He explained. Raven's normally stoic face softened up as she placed her right hand on his left shoulder.
"Let's talk on the couch." Nodding, the two went to the living room and sat down. "Now, tell me what's wrong."
"Well I was minding my business on the city, getting some food and whatnot, when these tourists I think started making fun of me. About how I look silly colored green and that I look like an elf-goblin hybrid because of how short I am and have pointy ears."
"You shouldn't let hurtful words get to you. Not everyone appreciates us."
"I know. Words like that normally don't get to me, but this time it did. I bet you would feel hurt and upset if people at the grocery store maliciously called you a witch or somethin'. You'd be able to hide the pain but you'd still feel it, right?"
"I would." She admitted, seeing his point. "But instead of indulging in something that would be seen as normal by others, you should take pride in the fact you're not an average person." She took hold of his hands. "You are Beast Boy. You can change into any animal. And besides, considering the kind of change you went through, it could've been worse. You'd have the hairiest parts a male typically grows and might've even gotten a tail in your human form."
"Heh, that'd certainly blur the line between beast and boy, wouldn't it?" The changeling chuckled at the image. Raven lightly smiled from his more positive expression.
"It would, so don't worry about it. And besides..." She gave him a peck on the cheek. "...you're my elf-goblin." This time, that description didn't make him feel bad, but wanted.
"Thanks Rae."
"You're welcome. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to tend to my emoticlones. I have to periodically check and make sure Pride is behaving herself even though she's depowered." With that, Raven retreated to her room. Beast Boy was feeling good about himself again. Maybe by tomorrow, that hurt will go away.
It didn't. Looking into the mirror right after waking up and in nothing but his sleeping shorts, his blurry eyes for a moment made him think a goblin was on the other side. Beast Boy yelped while rubbing his eyes before then recognizing himself. The boy groaned while placing his right palm against his face. He appreciated Raven's words, but the sting was still there. Opening a drawer, he dug out a bottle of tan body paint. The first time the green teen used it, it was very uncomfortable. How do those living statue street entertainers wear that stuff for hours? Not wanting to feel uncomfortable in his skin on both the outside and inside, he put it back. Then he thought of something. He knew it was going behind her back, but even if just for a moment, he wanted to see his skin fair, and his hair red-orange. A time where only his eyes were green. Exiting his room and peeking around the corner, he saw the four other titans eating breakfast. Slinking back, he tip-toed towards Raven's room, and turned into a fly to slip through. Once inside, he looked at books, and tried to find a spell-book. Good thing she was organized.
"Champion of Legends, Chancers' greatest risks, Changers of History-ah! Changing spells!" Taking it, he removed the book from the shelf and opened it. However, while the spine was English, the text inside was the symbols of Azarath. "Augh! Why have spines that speak English when there's no English inside?" Luckily, the text after saying that shifted the symbols from Azarath to English. "Oh, cool." So he skimmed through the pages, searing for the right kind of page. Finding the page that said "Skin Change" the instructions read
"To enact the spell, chant this incantation in proper tongue: Deceive those who see, for I must hide in light. To reveal one's body, must the moon be new outright."
"Huh. Okay. Azarath." The symbols changed back to the book's native language, and tried to read it the best he could do. "Okay, here we go. Vendentes decipat ego abscondor in lucem. Ostendere unum corpus sit omnino nova luna. Azarath Metrion Zinthose!" Beast Boy's eyes glowed white as the power of the spell took effect, before the feeling left, his eyes returning normal. He looked at his hands. Still green. The changeling sulked before realizing something. He saw his hands? He wore gloves almost all the time. And it wasn't just the lack of gloves, but also the sleeves, shirt... oh no. The nude titan was about to yell out in shock but managed to keep his voice in. However, the same wasn't for the others as he felt a commotion coming from the kitchen. Turning into a flea, he jumped under the sliver of space underneath the bookshelf before Raven entered her room, freaked out from the fact she was also completely in the buff, the only light being the numerous candles which kept the room illuminated, yet dim. Heading over to her closet, she grabbed the nearest leotard and tried to put it on, but the cloth turned into air. She tried covering herself with a cloak but that too turned into the air itself. "Why is this happening?" Turning around, she noticed one of her books out of place. Walking to it and picking it up, she saw it was on a spell to change one's look.
"Beast Boy." The half-demon girl growled as she sensed him out. A ping of fear was emanating right underneath the bookshelf. Using her magic, she picked up the flea, whom reverted back to human. He was facing away from her.
"Uh... hey Rave." The green teen greeted greatly nervously.
"To think you have the gall... the audacity. After what we said, you decide to go behind my back, enter my room without my permission read one of my books and bungle it up in a way in which we're all naked and can't put anything on. I've gotten used to your stupid moments, but this? I'm honestly both impressed and disappointed." Using her magic to conjure up a black cloth, Raven tied it around Beast Boy's head, and made sure it was uncomfortably tight.
"Ow. Too tight Raven!" Beast Boy complained.
"You're lucky I'm not tying it around your neck. Now that you're unable to see, now's the time to tell the others." Walking to her vanity and taking out a spare communicator, since the first was turned into air, the female titan alerted her fellow comrades. "Guys, I found the reason why we're naked, and he's in my room.
"Beast Boy?" Robin responded. "He should've known better. Alright, bring him to the living room so that we discuss his punishment."
"Gladly."
All of the titans were in the living room, and everyone except Starfire were blinded to avoid seeing something private. Starfire wasn't blindfolded because when it's not her, she doesn't have a nudity taboo due to being Tamaranean whom don't have such a social rule. Robin memorized all the floors and where all the obstacles are so he doesn't need sight. Cyborg's using an internal radar, and Raven's using her magic like a radar as well.
"So, care to explain yourself, 'friend' Beast Boy?" Starfire started the interrogation, saying friend with a threatening tone.
"Dudes, I'm sorry. I just wanted to look normal like Robin and such."
"Given your changed looks, I can certainly understand that." The titan leader admitted. "But of all things, why one of Raven's spells? The only language you're good at other than English is a little Spanish thanks to Dorothy the Expeditioner. Her books are way above your reading level. Not to mention that the much more higher reason is that Raven would either banish you or punish you with something worse than anything we could come up with."
"Yeah, I can also understand that, but that was a really dumb move, bro." Cyborg agreed with while shaking his head.
"It wasn't like I was going to stay that way forever, or even the whole day. Even if it was just for a minute that would've been enough."
"Then you should've asked me. I would've done it if it was just for a moment." Raven told the guilty green teen. "But due to your mistake, we're now possibly stuck like this. You have your hand holding and cheek kissing privileges revoked."
"Man, I sure messed up big time." Beast Boy sighed with sorrow. And that's when the crime alert went off.
"Now? Of all times?!" The naked half-demon complained.
"Let us go. I never wear actual clothes anyway and BB can just stay as an animal the entire time." Cyborg suggested.
"Fine, just go!" Robin replied. The cybernetic titan ran while pulling his green teammate.
Luckily for the two titans, it wasn't supervillains, but just a few regular bank robbers. After the bandits got all the money into their van, they started to drive off, only for Beast Boy to run up front in cheetah form and then shifted into an African elephant, stopping them dead in their tracks. Ripping the door off, bullets bounced off his steel like body and grabbed the two robbers. With very little effort, he slammed their heads together, knocking them out.
"Nothing to it."
Upon returning to the tower, and being blindfolded again, Cyborg went to Raven and asked her, "So, is there anyway to fix the spell?"
"The way the spell was made, it was to change one's appearance. There are spells to see through the disguise, but this specific spell isn't easily broken. As far as I know, only the lack of light from a new moon does it wear off. Luckily, tomorrow night will be the new moon, so we'll only be like this for about 36 hours."
"So just as long as crime is down to a minimal, then we'll get through this with the most minimal amount of embarrassment for everyone."
"Yes, and then I'll see to it which dimension will really teach Beast Boy when I banish him there." She said. Cyborg could tell from her voice. It betrayed just the slightest amount of hurt and anger.
"Why don't you let me handle the punishment. It may not be as harsh per say, but it will be far more karma like for what he did." He suggested. Raven considered it. Sure, she wanted the satisfaction of punishing the green idiot personally, but if anyone knew Beast Boy's biggest pet peeves, it was his best friend.
"Fine. You'd better make it a good one."
For the next 36 hours, the titans did what they could do, and to make sure the villains didn't suspect anything, one or two titans of different team ups always went. Robin and Starfire, fighting from the shadows and high flight speeds respectively beat him before he could see them during the afternoon. The same thing goes for Control Freak in which Cyborg and Raven fought him during twilight. Let's just say Cyborg was the distraction while Raven acted as a living shadow and manipulated the poor man's fears. He was sent to prison shivering in sheer fright. Tomorrow morning before breakfast had Cinderblock wreaking havoc, but Starfire pulverized him into pebbles by flying through him at the speed of sound with her starbolts. Robin was also able to single handedly stop Johnny Rancid with a well place birdarang at the front wheel of his motorcycle, and an ammunition disc that froze him in place to the ground once he crashed. The last villain to appear for the day was Doctor Light, as he decided to rob another bank. And this time, his outfit was decorated with a lot of white dots around his body. Blasting the front into oblivion, the mad doctor was about to make his escape when a female voice called to him.
"Halt the Doctor Light! We won't let you get away with that!" Starfire exclaimed.
"Ah, the two titans that bothered to show up. I've heard that you guys are just blitzing all the other villains before they even see you. That's much faster than your usual M.O, but here's the thing; nothing is faster than the speed of light!" Activating his suit, dozens of beams of light shot out from his person, scorching whatever surface they touched. Starfire was quick enough to evade in between the beams that were wide enough as she flew up. Raven wasn't as lucky as she was hit in the belly, pushing her back. She yelled out in pain as she was pushed back into a car. Being made of shadow didn't protect against light. "Hahaha! With my suit like this, no attack can reach me!"
"Raven!" Starfire cried out in concern before her eyes and hands glowed with green energy. Pooling said energy into a ball which she let grow into a large ball for beach volley ball, the Tamaranean warrior threw it at the mad doctor. Seeing the incoming green star, Dr. Light knew a few of those wouldn't be enough to destroy it, so he focused all the beams that could aim toward the attack and created a concentrated white beam of light that pushed against the star until it exploded, illuminating the entire area in green.
"Haha! Not even a miniature sun can withstand the might of Dr. Light! Now, where-Ack!" He was so focused on gloating, he didn't notice Starfire going behind him and was kicked in the back of the head, faceplanting into the ground. Making sure he was knocked unconscious, Starfire ripped the suit apart and checked her injured teammate.
"Raven, are you okay?"
"Yeah. I was able to heal the burn. It still hurts but I can have us retreat." The half-demon explained as she allowed her soul-self to envelop them, helping them disappear and return to the tower.
For once, all of the five titans were in one room not blindfolded, but because the spell was broken, but more like it almost was, because they were watching the moon, looking like a bare patch without any stars amidst an ocean of them.
"Thank the goodness this is almost over." Starfire spoke first after several minutes of silence.
"No kidding. I've felt even more naked than usual since I didn't even have my utility belt or titanium cape." Robin added.
"After this I'm going to have to make sure my clothes are only affected by magic cast by me." Raven stated, being passive-aggressive with Beast Boy, whom looked down in guilt. Once the new moon reached its apex, the magic wore off and their clothes magically returned.
"Glorious! It feels so nice to be in my outfit again!"
"Now everything's back to normal." Beast Boy said, but Cyborg placed a hand on his shoulders.
"Oh no no no. There's still the matter of your punishment. For having the rest of us, mostly them though, go through that ordeal, your punishment is to fight crime with us naked. For a week."
"What?! But what about the media?! Think of the children!"
"Oh, don't worry about that. Although now that you mention that, I think an alteration to your punishment will do the trick just as well." Robin explained with a mischievous sneer.
"Oh man." The green teen groaned.
By tomorrow, there was already another crime alert, and it was Mad Mod. He was leading a robot assault that consisted of giant beetles on the city while his technology was hypnotizing the people with the famous The Beatles "Yellow Submarine" song. Jump City was in the process of being turned into artwork that was used for the song as well.
"Ah yes. Who can resist the best band of all of Great Britain? I'll need to change the deaf myself but that's a small price to pay for my imperial empire. No one can stop me!" That is, until a wave of black magic silenced the music. "Hey, who clogged up me ol' tunes?!"
"Sorry Mad Mod, but not even the Beatles don't harmonize with your evil."
"Oh, if it isn't my little duckies. Just because you turned off the music, doesn't mean the parties-What the bloody 'ell is your green lad scantly clad?!" Mad Mod reacted in disgust when he took a proper look at the nearly nude Teen Titan, whom blushed and looked away in embarrassment. He wore nothing but pink underpants with red hearts along with rainbow socks. "I knew you bratty teens had no class, but this is just deplorable! Are you bent? Seems like you stupid children are beyond what I can tolerate now, so prepared to be destroyed! Get them!" All of the titans engaged in combat with with the giant beetles: some with difficulty like Cyborg and Raven, and some with ease like Starfire and Raven. However, Beast Boy had one thing in mind. Getting that staff. Turning into a Black Mamba snake, he slithered across the ground, evading the stabs that the robots tried to inflict upon him. Reaching the beetle that Mad Mod stood upon, and slithered up the leg until he was behind Mod.
"I don't think so." The mad Brit tried to counter was a blast from his cane, but Beast Boy was able to jump around the beam by moving into a spring formation before turning into a mountain goat and ramming into the villain. As soon as Mad Mod let go of the staff, Beast Boy turned back into human and snapped the staff against his leg. And with that, everyone was freed from the hypnosis and all the changes to the city went back to normal.
"No! Ugh, why can't you bloody heroes just let honest working villains be?! Nobody was asking you to butt in!"
"Because you hypnotized them." The green teen replied with no casualness to his tone before clocking out the looney Brit in the head with his staff. Not wanting to be seen, he turned into an eagle and flew away.
Of course, it was eventually found out that Beast Boy was fighting in laughably colorful underwear, and they had to describe what the situation was even though that just made the city laugh even harder at the poor titan, but as the days passed, the constant mockery and ridicule no longer bothered him. In fact, at the tower he decided to stay nude. Such as...
"Booyah, it's movie night again! What should we watch this time?!" Cyborg asked his friends.
"Atlantic Edge!" Robin suggested.
"The Culling." Raven replied.
The family movie Chilled!" Starfire cheered.
"What about The Fox on Floor Street?" Beast Boy asked, coming into the room.
"From Marvin Scoresayshe? I mean, I heard it's funny but isn't that a little bit mu-Gah! Beastie, you do realize that your punishment is over, right?"
"Yeah, but why should that stop me?" The green teen questioned sarcastically as he flipped over the couch and bounced the furniture big time, causing his teammates to instantly look and move away. "Actually, I should be thanking you, dudes. What better way to get comfortable in your own skin then by being in nothing but your skin?" He stretched causing some joints to pop before relaxing, letting his legs lay wide open.
"That's great Beast Boy, but stop displaying it to everyone." Raven complained. "You're really squicking us out."
"Dudes, what is there to squick about? My body can finally breathe outside of the skin tight costume, I could take a tan without having to worry about tan-lines, and I don't have to worry about stains if I eat messy foods! I can just lick the mess off."
"Ooookay then. I'll just get the popcorn then." Cyborg ran into the kitchen.
"I'll get my pj's." Starfire said before flying to her room.
"I'll get me some soda." Robin followed suit of Cyborg.
"I'm not interested in a movie anymore." Raven teleported to her room. Once they were all separate, the cybernetic titan called everyone except his best friend.
"Okay, it's obvious to everyone that our punishment for our little grass stain backfired in the long run. What do we do?"
"I could force him to do it. And all that he would suffer from is maybe an accidental sprained joint or broken bone if he struggles too much."
"Let's leave that as a last resort." Raven recommended. "I anyone's going to do it, it's Cyborg. The two are best friends, so perhaps he can somehow bribe Beast Boy to wear clothes like a normal person."
"Aw man. Well, if it means not having to see BB's little wee wee all the time, so be it."
"Great, we'll await for results. Titans out." Robin ended the discussion.
By tomorrow, Beast Boy was walking down the hallway when he noticed pieces of M&M's on the ground leading somewhere. Figuring this was a trap, the green teen shrugged and went along with it, even following an old meme.
"Oh, piece of candy. Oh, piece of candy." One by one he went like this, even into the elevator where there was a M&M on one of the buttons to the floor where the laundry room was. Once he was finally in the room, he saw Cyborg holding all sorts of clothes. "Hey dude. I didn't know it was your turn for laundry or somethin'."
"Oh, it ain't my turn for laundry, Beastie. This is about getting you to wear at least some shorts."
"Cy, you're my bro, and I can see why this would be unnatural of you, but I will not wear clothes again.
"It's because you're my bro that I need to do this. Being au natural all the time is making everyone uncomfortable. Including me. I don't want to hurt you, but you had better put on some dang underwear before I have to."
"Then come and get me dude." Beast Boy beckoned, going into a defensive crouch. With a battle cry, Cyborg charged at the shapeshifter, whom lunged and turned into a large squid. Splatting and entangling the cybernetic titan's arms. As he struggled without having to hurt his best friend, Beast Boy squirted ink into his eyes, blinding him.
"Ahh! Come on man! That really stings and stinks!"
"Then let's get you cleaned up." The changeling chuckled before turning into a green rhino, crushing the unsuspecting cyborg with about 3 tons of weight. Turning into a gorilla next, he pried the dazed robot out of the floor and untwisted his head from his body and threw it into the laundry sink.
"No, no, don't you dare-" The body-less titan tried to protest before he was rinsed with the coldest water. Spraying soap all over his head, Beast Boy washed his buddy's head with a soft cloth quite aggressively with his gorilla hands, washing away the ink the best he could until there was nothing left. Holding the head unamused up, the green ape chuckled.
"I know I call you Chrome Dome all the time, but I must say this is the shiniest I've seen my reflection on your head. Time to put you with the clean towels." Throwing the head at the towels, the pile fell over the titan's disembodied head.
"Beastie! Get me out of here!" Cyborg called out, unable to get out. "Beast Boy!"
Beast Boy was taking a nap underneath one of the trees, enjoying the great out doors when he felt a disturbance, opening his eyes, he rolled back and turned into a squirrel just before a white T-shirt landed where he was sitting. Looking up, he saw a teched out Robin parachuting while holding a T-shirt sniper rifle. Reaching the ground, the titan leader discarded the parachute and discarded the clothing rifle for two T-shirt cannons that were attached to his sides hooked up to a containment unit on his back likely full of ready to wear clothes.
"Beast Boy, as Titan leader, I order your to put on some clothes, now!"
"No can do Anti-Commando! You can't dress an animal if he doesn't want to!" Climbing up the tree, that left Robin growling as he took out one of his smoke bombs and threw it into the tree. It was soon consumed in the smoke and a green squirrel jumped out hacking for breath. And that was when he was hit and trapped by a single tube sock. Beast Boy struggled to get out but the snugness was too tight. Hearing the sound of gun cocking, he looked up to see the Boy Wonder aiming both cannons at him.
"Any last words as a nudist?"
"Yeah actually. I can worm my way out of this easily." And that was literal as he turned into a green earthworm that tried to burrow into the earth.
"No you don't!" Robin objected as he grabbed at the worm, only to transform into a monkey and climbed all over him while howling. "AH! Get off me! Get off!" While the leader was occupied, Beast Boy managed to press the self-destruct button and jumped off. Now free of the wild antics of the monkey, Robin aimed the cannons at him and called out, "I got you now!" But they didn't fire, and he was confused by this until he realized what happened, and groaned before the unit exploded, showing the immediate area in clothing articles.
During sunset, it seemed like nothing else would happen, until a bull crashed through the living room window and fell a hundred feet before turning into a bird to fly away. Starfire and Raven followed suite. Each of them held a piece of eithr shorts or pants.
"Give it up Beast Boy! There's no way you can escape us!" Raven yelled.
"That is right! We are the faster and more of the skilled then you!" The flying Tamaranean agreed.
"Oh yeah, well what about finding a green needle in a haystack?!" Diving down, he turned into a sailfish and dunked into the water, instantly vanishing.
"Darn it! How are supposed to get him out from the underwater?" Starfire asked her fellow female teammate.
"He wants to hide as a fish? Then he'll have to be caught be a predator. Bringing her soul-self out shaped as a raven, she sent it down into the sea at a breakneck pace. In less then a minute, the magic raven emerged with the struggling fish.
"Hey, no fair!" Opening her cloak up, showing an endless portal within that couldn't be seen instead of her body, the soul-self and Beast Boy disappeared into it.
"Quick, get his clothed!" The sorceress told the alien warrior. Starfire nodded, and flew into her cloak before it was closed, leaving Raven alone with a satisfied laugh. "Hehe, no way is he getting away from this. However, her cloak started to bellow out and expand, as if some huge object was forming. "What?! What are you two doing in there?!" Raven tried as hard as she could to contain them, letting her cloak grow as to contain it, but it wasn't enough as the thing inside grew too quickly, and a green whale escaped, shredding some of the cloak to pieces. The two girls fell screaming into the sea below. As they surfaced, they once again screamed in fright this time as Beast Boy crashed into the water, his huge body causing a mini-tsunami that washed away the female titans, leaving them to be washed up on the island's shore with Raven missing the lower half of her cloak. Walking up onto the beach, the grinning shapeshifter looked down on them.
"Sorry ladies, but seems like it was a washed up effort." He laughed at his own joke. The girls looked incredibly disappointed in themselves. Cyborg and Robin joined the three with Robin dropping on his knees.
"Okay Beast Boy, we get it. We give up. Maybe there's a deal we can make? Something in which that can have you wear anything?" Robin begged, with all the rest nodding in desperation. The green teen smiled and thought about it.
Two days later, the outdoor pool was newly equipped with a giant 1000 foot long water slide that coiled above the pool, and a giant umbrella to the side big enough for five people to relax under, along with a whole basket filled with magazines. The four titans waited anxiously if their fellow titan would hold up his end of the deal. When the doors opened, they sighed in relief that Beast Boy was wearing purple swim shorts.
"Whew. Thank goodness you're wearing something now." Robin remarked, swiping away his sweat.
"Yeah, I've had enough nudity to last me a life time." Cyborg agreed.
"If I never see Beast Boy naked again to the end of time, it'll be too soon." Raven commented dryly.
"Hey, as far as I know, I've still come away from this with a lesson. Being naked for that long allowed me to really get comfortable in my own skin. And ummm... I apologize about making you guys all that uncomfortable and such. It was funny but I just want to let you guys know I didn't have it against you or anything. I know I messed up at the beginning, so I'll try to be more considerate, dudes."
"We very much appreciate it." Starfire told him with a smile.
"Yeah. Well, since Beast Boy learned his lesson and gained some self-confidence, how about we go change and have a pool party right now?!" The titan leader suggested. All except Raven cheered and went to go, but Beast Boy stopped Raven by holding her hand for a couple of seconds.
"Hey Rae, mind if we talk for a second?"
"What is it?" She asked, showing that she was still somewhat cross with him.
"Look, I apologize about not taking your word and going against your back. It was wrong of me to do, and I won't do it again. Even if my privileges' aren't restored right now, will I be able to earn them back?" Raven's face didn't change upon the question, and the two just stood there completely still for several seconds before she answered,
"We'll see." And headed back into the tower.
"Well, at least she didn't say no."
A/N: I have to admit, this was difficult to write. Particularly the crime bits. And took up more words than I would've guessed. But something that helped is that while I was having trouble trying to write the end of this chapter in the way Eris suggested, a memory came to me. Something that I would have an easier time writing about. I made the last third of this chapter similar to the Johnny Test episode 'Bath time for Johnny'. Season 3 Episode 4B. Obviously not entirely the same but the inspiration is clear if you connect the dots. Well, I hope you got what you wanted guest reviewer. This was the Laundry Day sequel I hope you asked for. Also, as for the next chapter on Books, a fellow fan called Omarnosian10 gave me this idea for it, and with his/her permission, here is the idea as 10 wrote it:
"you can make it Malchior's debut in your story, albeit at the start. Instead of Raven making the Titans into a book club, the Titans do it themselves to cheer her up and reignite her passion since Malchior made her bibliophobic." And I gave the suggestion that to make Raven bibliophobic(phobia of books), Malchior is initially defeated, but he actually wasn't and is inside her head like a literal inner demon causing her stress as she reads. 10 liked the idea. So now, I ask you readers, what you would like to fill in there? Some details you can come up with to make the chapter feel more smooth and full of detail. Any suggestions would help, and you could probably share ideas with Omarnosian10 on PM as well, see what the he/she thinks as well. Communication and operation is key for all of us. I can't wait to hear your ideas.
