The titans were lounging in the tower. Raven was reading, Beast Boy was getting thrashed (as per usual) by Cyborg at a mindless video game, Starfire was cheering them on and Robin was bent over a battle plan, talking to himself; he was talking to himself more and more these days…
Suddenly, the phone rang. No, not the alarm, proclaiming that a criminal was robbing a bank; the ordinary telephone that they never used. Starfire answered it, and since she was hyper from a combination of mustard and the thrill of cheering, she shrieked, "Who are you, where did you come from, what's your favourite colour and will you be my friend?"
The voice on the other end said "It's the Mayor of Jump City; could I speak to the person in charge here?" Starfire threw the phone at Robin, yelling who it was.
"Hello, Robin speaking?"
"Ah, the Teen Titans leader. I have called to inform you that you are all legally obliged to attend High School. This is part of the Government's programme to stomp out this attitude you superteens seem to have that you are above the law. I will deliver the full details in the mail, and you will begin your school in three days. Goodbye." The Mayor hung up, and Robin spent a while staring at the phone with his mouth agape.
"Please, friend Robin… What is the cause of your apparent need to catch flies?"
After a few more moments of staring, Robin yelled "We're going to school!"
Everyone else simultaneously shrieked "SCHOOL?"
It seemed that the Mayor was quick to mail the details; an hour later, a delivery man arrived at the door, grumbling about how the Titans could have made their base more easily accessible. The envelope he eventually handed them contained timetables and a letter explaining the school rules, including a dress code against-
"MASKS?" Robin howled. As he stormed around the Tower, muttering about moving to somewhere without schools, the other Titans decided they would just have to think of a solution when the time came. During it all, Beast Boy looked at the letter, and felt like he was going to throw up when he saw the name of the school: Murakami school, the exact same one that Terra was now attending…but she wasn't Terra any more. And now…
"Hey, y'all!" Cyborg yelled, breaking into Beast Boys thoughts (or whatever went on in his head instead of thoughts) "We can make more of those rings I wore while infiltrating H.I.V.E academy! I could set them to make BB and I have normal skin, and we can just adjust them to change your face slightly, Robin!"
"Maybe Star and I should use them as well," Raven added "You know, to make us look more… normal."
Cyborg nodded and left to make the rings. An hour of video gaming later, Cyborg entered with the rings, and they put them on. The rings slightly warped the Titans faces, as well as taking away the distinctive markings on Starfire and Ravens faces. Beast Boy now had ordinary tanned skin and Cyborg obviously lost the mechanics. Satisfied, the Titans spent the rest of the day enjoying their last moments of freedom before going to school. The next day, the Titans went to a shop that sold all the things they would need for school. As well as stationary, they each bought a backpack in their traditional Titans colours.
Starfire and Raven then headed to the girls clothing section, and Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy to the boys. The clothing list was as follows:
Girls: Knee length or below black/grey skirt
White blouse with tie
Grey school sweatshirt
Knee or ankle length white/black socks
NO HEELS OVER TWO INCHES
Boys: Plain black/grey trousers
White shirt with tie
Grey school sweatshirt
White/black socks
No non- earlobe piercing or tattoos.
After purchasing the items, the Titans decided they might as well buy some casual clothes, just in case; surprisingly, they didn't have a lot of them in the Tower. Clothes, not Titans. They split up, and purchased the following outfits:
Robin: Red T-shirt, jeans and grey tipped black trainers (they didn't have steel capped ones.)
Starfire: Pink T-shirt with purple star, denim skirt, white trainers and star shaped hair clips.
Cyborg: Blue T-shirt with car on it, jeans and trainers
Raven: Long sleeved purple top with black bird silhouette on it, black jeans and Black high-tops.
Beast Boy: Green T-shirt plastered with pictures of animals, black shorts and trainers.
All in in, a good day of shopping, considering that they were buying school things.
On the final day of freedom they practised crime fighting, ate five pizzas and beat up Dr Light. He noticed they were scarier than normal.
The Titans went down to their local school bus stop, and while they were waiting, Beast Boy once again worried about seeing "Terra" again. Of course, with the ring no-one would recognize him anyway, but it would still be weird to see her again.
"Hey! Bus!" yelled Cyborg. After stepping onto the bus, the Titans noticed the Titans East, Jinx and Kid Flash sitting in the back, trying to look inconspicuous. The Titans walked over to them, trying hard not to laugh. Kid Flash had try to style his hair differently, with limited success; Speedy and Aqualad were wearing wrap around sunglasses, and both Jinx and Bumblebee had put on a lot of eyeliner. Mas y Menos had done better; they looked like normal little kids. But this didn't stop Robin saying in a loud whisper, "You guys look just like Titans wearing bad disguises."
Bumblebee squinted at them "Teen Titans? How'd you change how you look?" The Titans showed them the rings.
Kid Flash demanded to know where he could get one.
"You're in luck, I brought some spares for the others, especially Beast Boy."
When Beast Boy they demanded to know why, Raven coolly said "Because every technological item you touch falls to pieces around your ears."
By the time Beast Boy had finished crying, the school bus had arrived and the Titans were going to school.
OK, it's a cliched idea, but I tried... I do not own Teen Titans. Please review, if only with flames. I'm lonely!
