Last Slice of Pizza! *lunges*

I'm not sure if any of you remember, but I previously wrote a Teen Titans Animated story on FF.net, pondering why the heck they had it for a slogan. It was fluff, and mostly involved OOC Raven and greedyanddevious!Robin. I actually reworked it after getting some reviews, but figured that since a) updated chapters do not move you up FF.net's list, b) there are a gazillion TT fics, I kept the reworked story to myself. Here it is now for public consumption.



You know the slogan. You've seen the ads. But what do the Teen Titans /really/ think?

"Hey guys, they've got an article on us in the papers," said Beast Boy, spreading the newspaper on the floor. Four pairs of eyes peered over his shoulders.

" 'Fighting for truth, justice, and the last slice of pizza'," Starfire read. "It is truly an interesting title for this piece of journalistic information."

"I wouldn't fight for the last slice of pizza," commented a dry voice. The owner of the voice had her hood down, and annoyance could be seen on her face.

"Oh yeah Raven?" Beast Boy turned to shoot a glare at her. She ignored him and perched on the edge of the sofa, just outside the circle clustered around the paper. "That's because you always use your mind powers to get it before the rest of us!"

"No I don't." An inanimate object in the Tower deconstructed courtesy of a black aura.

"Truth, justice, yeah that's good," said Cyborg. "But who cares for any of Beast Boy's pizzas?"

Starfire tilted her head thoughtfully. "Certainly more than those who partake of my Tamaranian specialities."

In the embarrassed coughing that followed, Beast Boy could be heard complaining. "Dude,you don't like /anything/ that doesn't have meat inside! What is it with you and dead body parts?"

"It's not dead body parts, it's /food/."

"It was dead the last time I checked."

"Friends, we must practise the 2,304th line of the Poem of Friendship! Please don't..." Starfire's attempts to ward off the bickering that erupted every meal time went largely unnoticed.

"Guys." Robin had picked up the paper and was looking at it thoughtfully, hand on chin. "How can we fight over the last slice of pizza when we can't even decide on what toppings to get?"

Crickets chirped in the silence that followed.

"... hang on," Cyborg remembered something. "We only get one pizza if it's a delivery."

"Half of everyone's favourite toppings and half vegetarian," said Raven.

"And there's one last slice in the fridge," Robin offered helpfully.

There was only the slightest of pauses before the others dashed to the kitchen. Amidst the racket of the scuffle, no one heard Robin opening the door and paying the delivery boy he managed to bribe into rowing all the way to the island. As he took the pizza to his room, he glanced back at the forgotten newspaper on the floor, smiling slightly. It would make a good slogan though...

The next moment, Starfire snatched the pizza out of his hands with a cheery 'Thank you'. He tried to give chase, but was held back by some very familiar black energy. "...cut it out! What's the deal?!?!"

"Vegetarian, so only Beast Boy wanted the last slice," said Raven. "They demand a rematch."

"Aw, no!"


But the best part about this fic (which is why I'm posting it first) was the reviews. Got a whole range of them from the 'Dude! Stop writing fluff!' to 'EEEEE! *love*', which is more fun because I liked the unexpectedness.

Anyway, best reviewer is TheDarkAzar, who I would liked to have e-mailed but she didn't sign in. This gal left 3 e-mails, talking about how it related to her personally and ideas for future fics (which I attempted but failed =P). Thank you very much!

However, the best review goes to Raven-and-Starfire, who wrote me a review that had me snickering. Here it is in all its glory.
