5/ Five
Starfire happily ran through the hallways pouring more sugar into her mouth. Raven cocked her eyebrow at her. Then, she just shook her head at her.
ON. T.V.
"Sorry for the delay, we're on LIVE you know… Anyways we had to bring in another cashier, because we had to send the other to the hospital… So yeah, we're searching out our next customer!"
Off T.V.
"Hey, ya'll!" Cyborg yelled, "I'm headed to the store to pick up some oil for the T-Car! We're straight out!" He quickly slammed the door behind him. Raven didn't even bother to anything to him. She thought it'd be entertaining, that's also why she still hasn't mentioned anything to Robin yet. Raven went to the kitchen and popped a bag of popcorn in the microwave.
Department Store"-Whistles-." Cyborg picked up two jugs of 5w-10 oil and placed it in his cart. He was shopping happily. Then, he came across some fruit snacks that were in the shape of monkeys.
"Hmm…." He quickly picked some up and threw them in the cart. He continued whistling and walked down the aisle….
Raven was on the couch eating popcorn while watching "Boiling Point". Then, she noticed a blank recording tape.
"Well, might as well…" she got up and pushed the tape into the VCR and pressed 'RECORD'.
Back at the Dept. Store…Cyborg went to the checkout and saw that a girl was there; a "good-looking" girl. Cyborg's eyes got big.
"Move sucka!" he pushed an old lady in front of him, out of the way to hurry up to get to the checkout. He laid his elbow on the counter, propping his chin up.
On T.V.
"Look at this folks! We've pulled in our very own 'cyborg-guy'!" the announcer joked. The cashier/ actress just stared at him with a blank face.
"Ready to check out sir?" she asked.
"I'm ready to check you out." he smiled.
"Let's see… Two cans of oil and some fruit snacks… That'll be $876.89…"
"What?" he yelled, "Unless the fruit snacks are eight-hundred bucks, this is outrageous!"
"They are…" the lady showed him the receipt.
"What!" he ran back to the place he bought them and checked the tag. It said: "800.00."
"This is nuts!" he ran back to the lady, "I want to take these off the list."
"Sorry sir, I already rung them up."
"But you can still change it… Right?"
"Nope."
"No? Y-You can't?"
"No sir…"
"But-I?"
"Going to pay sir?"
"Uh…" he checked his pockets, "I don't have that much…"
"Looky here!" the announcer spoke up, "he's on the brink of ten minutes! 20, 19, 18, 17…"
"Uh… I-uh…"
"Sir, I made a mistake… It's not that much…"
"Whew, okay…" Cyborg let out a huge sigh.
"It's actually, $8,000.98… The oil was about three-thousand a piece, plus tax…"
"Oh… Um, can I put them on uh? Lay away…?"
"Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!" The announcer appears out of nowhere and shakes Cyborg's hand, to congratulate him, "you are on MTV's Boiling Point! You just won, one hundred dollars!"
"Booyah!" he shouted.
Raven's mouth fell open. 'He actually did it!' she thought, 'and he has like the worst temper…' Cyborg busted through the door.
"I WON! I WON! I WON ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS! I WON ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS!" He shouted through the tower. Everyone came running into the living room.
"Dude, what are you yelling about…?" Beast Boy scratched his head.
"I won one hundred dollars! I went to the store, and this lady tried to tick me off, but I was actually on this show call 'Boiling Point', but I didn't get angry so I won $100!"
"Dude! That's totally unfair! Why couldn't I be on there, I could've won it…"
"Actually, you were…" Raven spoke up, "it was at the store… We busted… All of us, except Cyborg…"
"Man, I feel stupid…" Robin said. Raven just smirked and said: "I don't…."
THE END!
