Sleepover Bash

Part I

"The party is here!" Kole shouted.

"Seems like the party is in the way." Speedy rolled his eyes.

She pushed him before walking in the common room. "I'm ready to have a great time."

"Cool." Bumble Bee said. "We're going to be in Star's room."

"Ugh! It's so... pretty in there!" Cheshire snarled.

Speedy wrapped his arms around her waist. "You could stay in here with us guys."

Her top lip curled in disgust. "It's just the right kind of pretty."

Argent and Kole laughed. Jericho, Hot Spot and Aqualad grinned.

Speedy let his kinda girlfriend go. "You're a mean cat."

She waved him off. "As long as you got good snacks, I'll be fine."

"We're pigging out." Bumble Bee promised. "Come on. Everyone's already there."

The whole room looked at Raven, who was reading on the couch.

"She's coming later." Bumble Bee huffed.

The female Titans East spoke in unison, "Okay."

They followed the brunette to the elevator and the foursome went down a level.

The guys all crowded around the common room. "Should we discuss our plans in front of her?" Speedy hooked a thumb at Raven.

"I wouldn't care if you suddenly were struck lame." She nearly whispered.

"That's reassuring."

"You asked." Cyborg reminded him.

"What's the plan?" Jericho signed.

"Video games, video games and more video games." Changeling announced happily.

"Any food on that diverse list?" Aqualad wanted to know.

"Fish sticks." Kid Flash said with a straight face.

Aqualad turned green.

Speedy high-fived Kid Flash with a laugh. "Awesome!"

"Not cool!" The Atlantean steamed.

"We're going to start with the classics." Nightwing ignored them. "Madden, Mario Kart, Super Sonic, all of them. Then we'll move into racing games. There'll be tournaments. Then there's fighting games. Then we'll fuel up for team combat games."

"Riveting." Raven closed her book and stood.

"It's going to be killer, Rave!" Cyborg whooped.

"Better than painting toenails and talking about us." Speedy added.

"For your information, you're not a stimulating enough subject for us to discuss, Roy." She rolled her eyes and walked to the elevator.

Aqualad tapped him on the shoulder. "I think that's what you call... a burn!"

The other guys laughed as his face turned red. Changeling jogged over to her before the lift's doors closed. "Kiss for luck?"

"You know I don't believe in luck." She pulled the hood of her hoodie up.

"But I do."

She couldn't argue that so she kissed him gently. He smiled into the kiss and deepened it. He took it a little far when he backed her against the wall and tried to pick her up. She slapped at him to let her go.

"Sorry." He grinned sheepishly passed the ringing in his ears.

She pursed her (swollen) lips. "You've got your luck. Don't press it."
