CHAPTER

One Monday afternoon, Beast Boy was sitting in his bedroom playing a video game. Not only was he doing well, his victory looked assured. His eyes glistened with tears of joy.

“This is going to be the greatest achievement of my life,” he said, practically weeping.

Just then, Robin kicked open the bedroom door. “Beast Boy! Emergency! No time to explain. Come on, get the car! Gotta go!”

In an instant, Beast Boy flung down the controller and followed Robin out of the room. Beast Boy had been so close to winning the game, and now… it was game over.

Robin sat in the passenger seat next to Beast Boy as the Teen Titans’ car raced down the street.

“What’s the emergency?” asked Beast Boy.

Robin’s eyes narrowed. “Got a monster to deal with.”

But Beast Boy was in for a surprise. Robin ordered him to turn into the Burger Splode drive-thru.

“A monster case of the munchies!” explained Robin. He leaned across Beast Boy and shouted into the drive-thru intercom. “A cheeseburger, fries, milk shake, and a small side salad. Stat!”

Beast Boy sat fuming behind the wheel. He gave up his video game win for this?!

On Tuesday, Cyborg hooked himself up for his weekly data backup. A USB cable ran from the computer and plugged right into his head. A large warning displayed on the screen: CAUTION! DO NOT REMOVE CABLE DURING BACKUP. SOME DATA MAY BE LOST.

“Man, these backups seem like they take longer every week,” said a bored Cyborg.

At that moment, Robin kicked open the door.

“Cyborg! Emergency! No time to explain!” said Robin. “Come on, get the car. We gotta go!” He grabbed Cyborg, pulling him from the cable.

The screen flashed: WARNING! DATA LOST!

But Cyborg wasn’t there to see it. He was already in the driver’s seat of the car, zooming along. When Robin told him to pull over at the Game Bear store, Cyborg was confused.

Robin jumped out of the car before Cyborg could say a word. In a flash, Robin was in and out of the store. He held up a new video game.

“Check it out,” Robin said smugly. “Dog Simulator 2000!”

Cyborg was so shocked and annoyed, he swatted the game out of Robin’s hands and onto the ground.

On Wednesday, Starfire stood in the living room and removed yellow berries from an alien plant, placing them into a bowl. Her pet—a small, pink mutant moth larva named Silkie—lay next to the plant and tried to eat the berries.

“You cannot eat the berries, Silkie,” said Starfire. “They are bad for you.”

Just then, Robin crashed through the window and landed on the table.

“Starfire! Emergency!” said Robin. “No time to explain. Come on, get the car. We gotta go!”

As Robin and Starfire ran off together, Silkie saw his chance. He crawled over to the berries and ate the entire bowl. Instantly, his face swelled up and became puffy. Uh-oh.

Meanwhile, Starfire raced off in the car, with Robin next to her. When Robin asked to be dropped off at a D.J. Aqualad concert, all he said was, “Pick me up in an hour. Thank you!”

Starfire’s eyes glowed green with anger.

On Thursday, Raven was in her room. A demon roared and tried to come through a portal on her wall. Raven fired a bolt of magic at the demon, trying to banish it. “Back, foul demon!” As she was about to cast a final spell to send him permanently back into the portal, Robin tore a hole in the ceiling and dropped down.

“Raven! Emergency!” yelled Robin. “No time to explain. Come on, get the car. We gotta go!” He grabbed her and zipped out.

The demon hesitantly opened an eye and looked around. Surprised that it had been left alone, it smiled evilly and flew off, looking for trouble.

In the car, Raven and Robin sped off. With Robin’s directions, they ended up at the beach.

“Woo-hoo!” yelled Robin as he grabbed his surfboard and hit the waves.

Raven’s anger hit a boiling point. She had stopped battling a dangerous demon to give Robin a ride to the beach?!
