Strange Happenings
By Shadow in the Rain
Welcome to the sequel to The Beginning. Enjoy your ride in this insane fic from the deepest corners of my mind…
Ok, y'all, Shadow in the Rain is back with… DUN, DUNNN…. A SEQUEL! A GAZILLION thanks goes out to everyone who helped me get this up and running; most particularly World of Nightmares. This chapter is dedicated to you, Nightmare.
O, yea. One more thing. I'm experimenting with different POVs in this one. I think that some will be in Raven's POV, possibly also some BB... Anyhoo, on with the story!
I realize that I never did a disclaimer in the last fic. So, here goes it:
Do I own Teen Titans? There's a veery simple answer to this question. Has Teen Titans been CANCELLED? Would I have done that? I'M EVIL, BUT I'M NOT THAT EVIL!
So, sadly, no.
Oh, yeah, LET'S BAN TOGETHER TO BRING BACK TT! SIGN THE PETITION. IT CAN BE FOUND ON MY PROFILE, YOU CAN'T MISS IT, IT'S THE FIRST THING THERE! SIGN OR DIE!
Oh, yea. One more thing. Part of this chapter spoils the end of The Ring 2. If you don't want to read it, just skip the part in italics after the second page break. You have been warned.
Chapter One: The New Hallowmas Party!
"Halloween candy, Christmas cookies, fireworks, The Ring, candles, a box of three-foot pixie sticks, an entire cake made of Jell-O, lotsa decorations, more candy, six six-packs of Mountain Dew, a tranquilizer dart just in case Nightmare gets too hyper…" Shadow said, surveying the main room. "Yeah, we've got everything. I think we're as ready as we'll ever be!"
"Yeah, the only thing missing is the guests…" Raven said sarcastically. "And we don't really need them, do we?"
"Someone needs to light the candles…" Shadow muttered, knowing just who would volunteer.
"I'LL DO IT!" yelled Nightmare, grabbing the matches and proceeding to strike one.
"Don't give her any matches!" yelled Cyborg indignantly. "She'll burn the whole Tower down!"
Yes, the Titans were having a party. Actually, it was three parties smushed into one, seeing as the first two had been cancelled due to crime. So now the Titans were having their long-awaited Halloween and Christmas parties. But it was New Year's Eve. So they were just celebrating that too.
Soon, everything was really ready. The East Titans were set to arrive any minute. It was a dark, stormy day, perfect for a Halloween party.
The Titans sat down on the couch and waited for their friends to arrive.
"So… are we going to watch The Ring at midnight?" asked Shadow, picking up the box.
"The Ring and The Ring 2!" said Nightmare excitedly.
"Gosh, its nearly noon…" said Shadow. "When are they going to get here?"
"NOON!" said Nightmare ecstatically. "ONLY TWELVE HOURS LEFT UNTIL WE WATCH THE RING!"
"You must be Nightmare," said a voice suddenly.
Nightmare turned around to see Aqualad.
"I HATE YOU!" she immediately screamed. "I HATE YOU WITH THE BURNING, WHITE-HOT INTENSITY OF A THOUSAND SUNS!"
Nightmare wasn't exactly a normal girl.
"C'mon, Nightmare. We don't want to scare them…yet," said Shadow grinning.
"Stupid Aqualoser, knows my name…" Nightmare muttered/growled.
Everyone got to know each other, and settled down a bit.
"LET THE PARTY BEGIN!" yelled Cyborg.
Many hours later…
"IT'S 11:45!" yelled Nightmare, who was getting more hyper by the millisecond. "CAN I START MAKING POPCORN?"
"You do that…" said Shadow.
"I'M SOO EXCITED!"
"Yes, we all know that…"
Fifteen minutes later…
"TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR, THREE TWO, ONE!" the Titans counted down into the new year as the clock struck midnight. "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" everyone yelled.
"WHOO-HOO!" said Nightmare. "NOW CAN WE WATCH THE RING!"
"YES!" ten voices yelled back.
Only ten.
"I… I think that I'll sit this one out. I'm not really into scary movies…" Raven said.
"You sure?" said Robin. "We're all going to--"
"You remember what happened last time. Besides, I'm… kind of tired."
"Ok…"
Everyone bade the darkest Titan good night, and she left.
"TIME FOR THEEE RING!" shrieked Nightmare.
"JUST PUT IN THE FREAKIN' MOVIE!" somebody yelled.
Several hours later…
"I'm not you fing mommy!" yelled Rachel as she closed the well on Samara.
The End?
"THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!" Nightmare yelled, terrified. "I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SLEEP, WATCH T.V. OR GO SOMEWHERE BY MYSELF EVER AGAIN, BUT I STILL SAW THE BEST MOVIE EVER!"
Starfire and Robin were holding on to each other, Beast Boy was hiding behind the couch, terrified, Cyborg was hiding behind Bumble Bee, and so on and so forth…
As you may know if you've ever been to a sleep over, all-night party, or a lock-in, after about midnight, people tend to get a bit crazy. And sometimes, they just get soooo crazy that sometimes they play…
DUN, DUNNN-
Truth or Dare.
After awhile of tame dares, Aqualoser decided that it was time to heat things up.
So, he dared Shadow and Nightmare to walk through the dark Tower completely by themselves.
Of course, Shadow and Nightmare had just watched The Ring and The Ring 2 with the rest of them, so you can see why it would be frightening.
But, they couldn't let everyone think that they were cowards, could they?
So, they bravely marched out the doors of the main room into the pitch-black hall. As soon as they were out of sight, they started walking very quickly in a stiff manor.
By and by, when their midnight (well, more like 4 AM) tour of Titans Tower was almost finished, they were walking by Raven's room.
Of course, Raven hadn't fallen asleep, so when she heard people outside of her room, she decided to go see who was up to what.
Out in the hallway, Shadow and Nightmare were right in front of the door, when it suddenly slid open silently.
They turned, terrified, to see an ominous, towering figure.
"AHHHHHH! SAMARA!" they shrieked as they ran off.
Raven didn't get this, and since crazy stuff like this was normal for Shadow and Nightmare, she simply rolled her eyes and went back to bed, thinking that the whole thing was over.
How very wrong she was.
