Bye Bye Robin!

By Strix Moonwing

Strix Moonwing: Well as I promised, here's the bonus chapter! Here the characters…(nods at the Teen Titan crew) get to ask me and my co-writer, StarK, some questions about why we did some of the things that we did in the story. Let the interview begin!

Bonus: Ask the Author…

"Are you guys ready?" asked Robin as he and the rest of the cast sat across from the writer, Strix Moonwing and the co-writer, StarfireK.

The two girls nodded and answered, "Ready!"

The crew looked down at their notebook, where they had taken the liberty to write down the questions they wanted to ask. Robin looked at Strix and said, "Okay, first off…where the heck did you come up with this idea?"

"Well…" began Strix, toying with her short dark hair. "First off, the idea first came to me after our school did a play of Bye Bye Birdie, the Broadway play that I based the story off of."

Beast Boy perked up. "Really? Were you guys in the play?"

"Yes." Answered StarK.

"What did you play?" asked Bee.

The two authoresses looked at each other and burst out laughing as they replied. "The fangirls!"

"What?!" gasped the titans. Raven raised an eyebrow and asked, "You mean that the fangirls were actually part of the play?"

StarK nodded happily. "Yep, it was our job to follow Conrad Birdie around, sing 'We love Conrad!", and faint whenever he touched us!"

"As you see," Strix said proudly, "We did our roles quite nicely."

Robin narrowed his eyes. "Yes, I'm sure that you two were perfect for the job."

"Had lots of practice." Strix announced, smirking as she thought of Danny Phantom. Seeing the titans started to tilt back in fear, she got back on topic. "Anyway….as I said, we did the play and I found that it was actually a really great play and hilarious."

StarK nodded and continued after her friend. "Yeah and two months later, Strix came up to me one day and said, 'Hey, what do you think about a TT crossover?' I had been on the fanfiction site for two weeks already, but Strix hadn't even started. So I asked her what she had in mind."

"And I said Bye Bye Birdie." Strix finished. "And that's how it started. Teen Titans was the perfect crossover for Bye Bye Birdie because it had tons of characters in it to choose from."

"Okay, next question," Raven said, looking at the notebook. "What characters did you base us off of?"

"Cyborg is based off Albert…" answered Strix.

"Beast Boy is Hugo." StarK said.

"Starfire and Raven are both based off Kim."

"Bee is Rose."

"Granny Cy is Albert's mother."

"Sunfire and Moonfire are Mr. and Mrs. Macafee."

"Slade is Ed Sullivan."

"Comet is Randolph."

"And Robin is Conrad Birdie!"

"Why did you make both me and Friend Raven Kim?" asked Starfire, curiously.

Strix and StarK looked each other and shrugged their shoulders. StarK turned to the Titans and admitted, "Well, you see it was very hard to decide who was going to be who."

"You mean you were going to make us be different characters?" asked Cyborg.

Strix nodded. "Yes, at first when I first thought of the idea, I wanted Beast Boy to be Conrad Birdie…"

"And I wanted Robin to be Albert." StarK said.

Cyborg looked outraged. "Then where was I going to be in the story?!"

"Uhhhhh….we weren't sure what you were going to be." Strix said with an apologizing look at the robot.

"It took us a while before we decided that Cyborg and Bee were going to be the main characters." StarK said.

"Why did you choose us?" Bee asked, folding her arms.

"Because, in the end, we decided your personalities best fit the ones of Albert and Rose." Strix explained.

"But what about Albert's mom?" asked Cyborg.

"Well…if Robin was going to be Albert, then we were going to have Batman be that character." StarK said with a laugh. Everyone laughed politely at this.

"Did you ever consider me as Albert?" asked Beast Boy.

"No, actually. We didn't really think that Mento or Elastic-girl would be as good as Batman or Granny Cy." Strix explained.

"We choice Granny Cy because we knew that she had been on the show before, but only as a cameo." StarK added.

"She wasn't the only character that we had to add." Strix said, "I also had to create a family for Starfire since she was going to be Kim."

"Yeah, the reason why we needed two Kims was because we needed one to be the person that Robin at the kiss…" StarK nodded at Raven. "But we also needed one with an overprotective family." She nodded at Starfire.

"So, basically," Robin stated, "Things have changed a lot in the story since you began writing it."

Strix sighed. "Yes…quite a lot actually. Isn't that right StarK?"

StarK nodded in agreement. "Yeah, at first, Bee wasn't going to be such an important character."

"Neither was Comet." Strix added.

"But then she turned out, literally, to be the own life to the story." StarK complimented, making Bee beam happily. "And Comet became kind of a bridge of neutral ground between the fighting going on."

"What was your favorite scene in the story?" asked Cyborg, smiling.

The two girls smirked at each other and said in unison. "The shipping fight."

"No question about it."

"It was our own little gag that we thought of."

"Since the whole story is a kind of shipper war."

Raven raised a questioning eyebrow. "And the pea-shooter scene?"

Strix blushed embarrassedly and said, "There was a hilarious line in the play about a pea-shooter and I decided just to add on to it. Our own little inside joke."

"What was your favorite song in the play?" asked Starfire.

"Telephone Hour." Strix said instantly.

"A Healthy, Normal, American Boy." StarK answered laughing. "Mainly because it was just a big Robin gag."

Strix laughed along with her friend. "Yeah, we make fun of Robin a lot in the story! Hahahah!"

As everyone laughed, Robin's eye twitched in annoyance. "How kind of you…" he hissed through clenched teeth.

"Hahahhaahha! Don't take it personally!" Strix giggled. "You're just a great person to make fun of."

"Hahaha, yeah!" chortled StarK. "Half the people love you and half the people hate you. You're neutral!"

"Okay, last question…" Bee said after the laughing had died down. "In your opinion, do you think that your story was pretty accurate to the play?"

The friends smiled to each other and winked. "Well, besides the fact that we didn't put in the 'An English Teacher' song…" Strix said.

"And that the entire crew was made up of superheroes and aliens." StarK added.

"I'd say we made it as accurate as we were ever possibly going to make it." Strix finished.

"Well, is there anything you guys would like to say before we bring this interview to a close?" asked Robin.

"Yes," Strix said, "I'd love to thank all of my reviewers for reading and posting comments of this story.
