Mountain Dew Pitch Black: The Promo
That's right, this story's a sequel to my Teen Titan Fanfic: Mountain Dew, so I would recommend that you read it 1, because you will understand this story better and 2, because it is a good read, if I do say so myself:.:wink:.:wink:.: so yeah, you can find that on my author's page, story: mountain dew. So yeah, for all of those who don't want to take the time, I will be summarizing it below as a point a key events to understanding this sequel, but please, check out the story anyway, because I think it's the best I've ever written and I really think you'll enjoy it! It's chocked full of some of my best comedy, my only regret is how I wrote the ending, it just wasn't exactly how I wanted it to turn out, but at least it was half decent.
The other problem is that I left some vague endings, not everything was explained and there were some loose ends. So, I am writing this sequel because of those and because I had so much fun with it, I just had to write another one like it!
Now, if you really just want to read the boring summary of Mountain Dew, here it is, but I'm warning you, you'd really understand it better and get much more out of it if you read the actual story, so GO READ IT!
Now, if you all just obeyed my commands, you wouldn't be reading this, but anyway, here is the summary of Mountain Dew: (italics indicate quotes from Mountain Dew)
All of the Teen Titans have been fighting battle after battle, losing sleep and quickly fading, the energy sapped from their bodies.
Well, ALMOST all of the titans are tired, but one over-zealous Tamaranian princess seems to have a never ending supply of energy, and of course our dear Cyborg who can recharge and replace his batteries whenever he pleases.
Of course Starfire worries about her friends and cannot understand why they are so tired, "What is wrong, my friends? What could possibly trouble you on such a fine day?"
Unfortunately, because the titans are getting testy, she was met with harsh answers, such as one by Raven, "Don't remind me, If Mumbo EVER dares to turn me into his bunny assistant again, I will-" She stopped, suddenly composing herself before something blew up. (Beastboy was looking warily at his cereal bowl, which had begun to levitate with Raven's last comment.)
The Titans press on, despite even more attacks from various villains, but their energy is quickly depleting.
They then decide that since they aren't getting enough time to sleep, that they need some kind of energy booster, like a soda. They settle on the most caffeinated, most sugar-packed product they can think of: Mountain Dew.
Starfire inquired as to what "is this dew of the mountain" and is answered by Raven:
"Not mountain of dew, mountain dew. It's a type of beverage, loaded with a ton of sugar and caffeine, much more than is needed for a normal person." Raven replied.
"But I drink that stuff all the time!" Beastboy exclaimed, "Are you saying that I'm not normal?"
"No comment." Raven replied flatly.
Starfire then goes to retrieve the soda while the others battle yet another villain in which Raven gets hurt because she has gotten so weak.
Robin insists that they all drink the soda at once so that they can fight a robber who had invaded a… Bath and Body Works store (of all places, why there?) but Starfire is reluctant, not sure if she will like the soda or not. Robin reassures her and she drink it, but something goes wrong.
According to Cyborg, "Since she already has high energy levels from her solar energy starbolts, and since her thermal energy was higher than normal when we were teasing her, the added sugar boost from the soda caused her to overheat and pass out!"
"So…" Beastboy said, breaking the dead silence, "can I have an English translation please?"
Well, after her initial reaction, Starfire began to experience different side effects, namely: hyperactivity!
And thus the next few chapters are of her hyperactivity and of the titans attempts to stop her. (If you read nothing else, then pleas, read these chapters, the 'starfire's insanity' series!)
After Starfire's had her fun, another problem surfaces: Her addiction to Mountain Dew. This basically turns her into a crazed monster, almost like a rabid variety, and she lets that thirst take over her and terrorizes Cyborg and Robin, trying to get them to give her some.
(At this time, Raven and Beastboy have been separated from the group and Beast boy is having a sugar high of his own, much to the dismay of Raven:
"BEASTBOY, YOU COME BACK HERE THIS INSTANT!" Raven screamed, her anger causing the cracks in the pavement to grow to enormous size.
'MustChaseMustChaseMustRunMustRunMustOhWhat'sThat?' A green dog (aka Beastboy) thought, suddenly changing direction as he spotted a cat into a nearboy min-golf course across the mall parking lot. 'NoNotTheWindmillYouStupidCat!HowAmISupossedToCatchYouNow-Ahh!' Beastboy found his path blocked by a rising piece of golfing green outlined in a black aura. 'NoFairNoFairNoFair!'
So, after many struggles, Starfire suppresses her cravings and comforts Robin because he had been beating himself up, thinking that her condition was his fault.
And after Raven takes her anger out on Beastboy, she apologizes and they finally make it back to the T tower.
So you see how crappy that ending was? See why I have to continue it? So please, Read Mountain Dew, I had to skimp on the summary because I'm running out of time, so read it, and stay tuned for the first chapter of pitch black!
