Double Trouble

Chapter One: Going, going, GONE!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans. Though I do own Lauren

Hello all! Thank you for stumbling upon this oh so humble story! Please review, for I am new to fan fiction and need to know how things are done. So review! It really isn't that hard, you know…

"Terra, I'm still not convinced." An uneasy looking blond (a.k.a, Lauren) glanced down at her lavender painted nails. She used to like primping, you know, painting nails, putting on makeup to look silly, pretending to be a rock star.

Terra, her almost identical twin sister (you could tell the difference from their eyes, Lauren's were lavender and Terra's were blue), had never been into it. Lets face it; Terra was loud, independent, and a tomboy. Lauren was quiet, nervous, and a girly girl. So, you would understand that it was entirely Terra's fault that they were now running around the countryside, battling evil monsters.

That's right, Terra had somehow convinced Lauren to come with her to fight monsters outside their quaint little village, Naraville (Lauren thought it was hypnotism, but really, deep down, she new that she would never be able to live without Terra).

Their latest mission: giant scorpion. It has been terrorizing Jump City, the city closest to Naraville. Lauren had been wondering why the Teen Titians didn't take care of it, it was their city. Oh well, it was their duty to pick up the extra pieces that the big time superheroes thought they were too good for. 'The Janitors,' Terra said. But, of course, they both new what they really were. They were the Elemental Twins, born with abilities so they could fix what is wrong with the world and protect it from all evil (at least, that's what they thought).

"Come on, Lauren," A much mare casual looking blond punched her lightly in the shoulder (a.k.a, Terra) "With your perfectionist attitude, you can do about anything."

"Terra," Lauren smiled, "I'm not a perfectionist."

"Aren't you the one that refused to sleep in the cave closer to town because it had a rock that made the symmetry in the cave totally off?"

"Well-"

"And, wasn't it you that got totally mad when I told you to direct the wind 45 mph, and you did only 44 ¾ mph?"

"That was-

"AND, you were the one that would only go skiing in Wisconsin in perfect S's."

"Alright!" Lauren couldn't help but burst out laughing. "I do go perfectionist sometimes, but none the less, I think that a sandstorm is a bit out of my range, especially if I haven't practiced."

"Look,' Terra glimpsed anxiously at her watch, "We don't have much time. The scorpion comes out for its afternoon snack at 2:00, and it's 1:55. Just direct the wind into the sand. If you won't do it for the city, will you do it for me." She made puppy dog eyes and blinked 100 times per minute.

Lauren sighed, but couldn't help smiling, "Well, O.K, you can count me in."

Just as those words left Laurens mouth, the sand dune beside them slowly started collapsing (no, silly, the sky is not falling. That is the scorpion's lair). Terra got the scorpions attention by screaming, giving Lauren enough time to float up toward the rocks above (wouldn't it be a rip-off if you had control over the wind and couldn't fly?). She positioned herself on the rock exactly above the spot when she should start the (gulp) sandstorm.

This was tricky business, everything had to be perfect. The scorpion had to see Terra, but not for too long. He couldn't get too close, or else Terra would be as burnt as French toast. Just as Terra passed under the rock, Lauren blew the wind into the sand, like Terra had instructed. Yes! A sandstorm! Lauren jumped up and down with glee, she had done it! She was sure that Terra would give her a pat on the balk, but due to the circumstances, it would have to wait.

At exactly 45 mph., the wind rushed into the sand, making it almost impossible to see, but Lauren wasn't worried. She had played enough pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey games with Terra to know that she didn't need her eyes to see. When needed to (such as now), she used her scenes to see.

Lauren kept the wind going into the sand for exactly 15 minutes and 34 seconds (Lauren counted) until she heard the definite crunch of rock, then she slowly made the wind go down. She had to do it slowly, so if people where coming by, it would seem natural. When the san completely sent down, Terra was no longer in the spot where she promised to be. That's odd Lauren thought she always keeps her promises.

Oh, well, Lauren surged minor setback. She scanned the canyon for Terra until she found her, talking to the Teen Titians! Lauren smiled. So they where not as lazy as Terra made them out to be. But Terra and Lauren had beat them to it.

"Where did you come from, how did you get here, what is your favorite color and do you want to be my friend?" A female voice floated across the canyon. Hmmmmmmmm, that was odd. Why did Terra not signal to Lauren to come? While Lauren was contemplating this fact, the same female voice drifted across the canyon:

"I will not let my new friend stay in the cave of darkness!"

This time it was Tara's voice.

"I have a flashlight"

Then, a male voice "Why don't you come live with us?"

Then Lauren saw Tara going into the distance, with the Teen Titians.

Going, going… GONE!

What!

I hope that you like! PLEASE R&R, I want this story to be the best you've seen!
