Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, nor do I own VH1's idea for the show 'Bands on the Run'. I did however lent Robin my bass to practice.
Titans on the run!
Prologue:
Well, it started out as something to do when there wasn't any crime or disasters. Another one of Robin's psychological team building-thingys. But, then it just sort of developed on it's own, you know. He kept saying that it would keep our minds sharp or something like that. He also said something about our group not being the most well rounded. I mean, who would have thought? We all have our obvious talents, and stuff. But, music?
At the Beginning, it almost seemed like a parody or long-running joke. It was anything but serious. I didn't even know how to hold my guitar right side up. It was Star's enthusiasm with the drum kit Cyborg found for her that really pushed me. Even simple three-note melodies sent her into a curious frenzy. I think Tamaranian musicians would find earth music a blast. After a while, barring any injuries or needed repairs, we would still practice. Or at least Star and I would. Cyborg would watch between repairs on the T-car and playing gamestation. Raven would read or mediate silently nearby. I figured the noise and sour notes would drive her away, but she hangs around. Sometimes she would give a suggestion like "Beast boy, use a D chord instead of E minor." Where she got her musical knowledge, I can't say. But it always worked. On rare occasions, our noise would draw Robin out of his Slade museum. Star would mess up the timing more often when Robin was watching. I swear, if she gets any more obvious, and he gets any denser...
It was shortly after that Robin showed up at a practice session with a bass guitar. See, obvious.
AN: Yes, it's short. There will be more. Lots more. I always wished they would put "Bands on the Run" back on the air. But, alas. That's when I got the idea to have the Titans play in a band. Please review, my kids need lunch money. Later.
