"Food's
ready!" Cyborg called. It was the middle of summer and the
Titans were having a Barbeque on the top of Titans Tower. It was a
warm and breezy evening. The sky was painted brilliant shades of
pink, purple and orange.
The other Titans came
running to the table. Well, except for Raven and Moira, who glared at
the others and floated to the table. Moira, a thirteen year-old
banned from the same place that Raven was from, had recently joined
the team along with her friend, Aure. Having the same basic powers as
Raven, Raven had taken her on as her apprentice. Moira was like a
miniature Raven, except with blonde hair, and a black, tight dress
with silver designs. She also had a cape, just like Raven's except,
of course, black.
"Hey, it looks great Cy!
Cai 'have a hamburger, please?" Aure was in general a happy
person. A.K.A., she and Moira were complete opposites, if you block
out the fact they shared a few of the same interests and they looked
similar. Aure had the power to control pretty much anything that had
to the sky, such as wind, weather, stars and meteors. She had lived
in NYC until one day when some of her "buddies" had caught
her on the roof of the orphanage making new constellations. She had
to flee to Gotham City, where she met Moira, and then joined up with
the Titans. She had blonde hair that went slightly pass her
shoulders, blue eyes, and blue and white attire, made up of a
sleeveless shirt, bell-bottoms and a scarf. She also had a pair of
goggles, very much like Terra's, only light blue.
"Sure ya' can, Aure! And a veggie burger for BB, steaks for
Robin and I, a hot dog for Starfire, ((that's a joke, you have to
have seen the episode where Raven temporarily loses control of her
powers to get it)), and that weird stuff that Raven gave me that will
be done in a few minutes because I was afraid to put in on with
everything else for Moira and Raven. Oh, and soda and herbal tea for
all."
Robin, Beast Boy, Aure and Starfire all
gave a cheer as Cyborg bowed playfully. Raven and Moira just sat
silently glaring.
"Aww, lighten up Moira!
Don't worry be happy! laugh Ya' know...the song, and from the TV
show...No?" Aure's happy laughter turned to awkward laughter.
Moira just stared. "Okey dokey, then..."
The Titans ate there dinner, laughing and joking in between bites.
They all had pie, ice cream and brownies for dessert, well, except
for Raven and Moira, who had gone back to meditating after one final
cup of herbal tea.
"Hey guys, I don't think Aure liked
dessert!" Robin said with a laugh. Aure had wiped her plate
clean. It was hard to tell what she had even had. The others laughed
along with him, including Aure.
"Well, it was
good!" Aure said giggling. Then she stretched out her arms and
yawned. "It's late. I think I'm going to go to bed. Anyone with
me?"
"Yes, I think I am going to retire for the night as well,"
Starfire said with a long yawn.
"Yup, Cy's gonna hit
the sack, too." Cyborg got up, stretched and groaned.
"Yeah, me too." Robin got up from his chair.
"Me, three!" BB agreed. He got up and followed the others
to the door inside. "You guys coming?" He asked Raven and
Moira.
"No, we're going to stay up here
for a while. To meditate. Go ahead. Leave us alone," Moira and
Raven said in unison.
BB shivered. "That's just
creepy," he mumbled to Aure on the way downstairs.
"I know! Sometimes I think they share one brain or somethin',"
Aure agreed.
"We heard that!" Raven
and Moira called in unison from the roof. BB and Aure stared at each
other in horror for a second and then ran down the stairs
screaming.
"What is wrong with Beast Boy and Aure?"
Starfire asked Robin with a puzzled expression on her face.
"No idea, Star. No idea," Robin replied. He yawned and
stretched. "Well, good night!" And with that he walked into
his room.
(Commercial)
BB and
Aure ran through the hallways screaming. They had been doing this for
five minutes, and two minutes before Cyborg had started yelling at
him from his room to shut up.
"Aaahhhh!" Aure
screamed louder than ever as fell to the floor and tumbled into a
room.
"Aure, are you okay?"
Beast Boy asked, walking over to her.
"I'm fine...No,
wait. Scratch that. I'm practically dead. Same with you."
"Hit your head pretty hard, didn't ya' Aure..."
"We're in Moira's Room. We should get out while we still can."
"I've never been in Moira's Room before. I'm sure she
won't mind me taking a look around."
"Yes she
will." Aure stood close to the door. She was anxious to get
out.
"Hey, look! A toy castle! Wow, what
great craftsmanship..."
"Beast Boy, we have to
leave! Don't think I didn't hear about the time you went poking zips
in Raven's Mirror-" Aure gasped. Beat Boy was reaching for the
"toy" castle.
"Don't touch it!" Too
late. All of a sudden, BB was surrounded in a black vortex. When the
vortex disappeared, Beast Boy was gone.
"Someone's in my room, Lady," Moira said, waking up from
deep meditation. She stood up and curtsied. "Excuse me, but I
have to get whoever it is OUT of my room, before they screw something
up." With that Moira opened the door and ran inside.
"Beast Boy and Aure, those idiots. When will they learn,"
Raven mumbled. She went back to meditating.
"Beast Boy...BB?" Aure called nervously. She slowly walked
over to the castle. "I wonder what happened to h-IM!!!!!!"
Suddenly, Aure was surrounded in darkness. She screamed. When the
darkness subsided, she was in...the front hall of a castle? "What
the bloody-"
"Aure! There you
are? I think we're in Moira's Mind!" Beast Boy ran up to Aure.
Aure looked around. Yup, this was a castle alright. Just like in her
books. Nice and simple...well, not exactly simple. The designs on
everything were very elaborate and such.
"I don't
think we're in her Mind, BB. Moira's Mind would be
life-threatening..."
"Where are we then?"
"I think is sort of
like Moira's Tree House, except it's not a house and it's not in a
tree."
"Nice Tree House."
"Thanks," said a voice from behind. Moira walked
up to them, a very angry look on her face. "Now if you don't
mind me asking, WHAT were you doing in my room?"
"Heh, long story..." BB started. Moira cut him off.
"I dislike long stories. Besides, even if I did want to hear
your pathetic excuse, we don't have time. I'm the only one allowed in
here. My "Tree House" has a bit of a pest control problem.
If we don't get out of here quickly, you two might be eaten by a
giant rat or something of the sort."
"I'm
good with-"
"Yes, I know that you're good with
animals. You've only told me about a thousand times. Anyways, it was
an EXPRESSION. Why the heck would I let such a tasty morsel run loose
in my Castle?" (Aure and BB cringed at this. Moira smirked.)
