*sniffle* I still don't own the Teen Titans...


The Invitation

I returned to the house. Not a single person was there. Good that makes packing easy. I walked inside and up the staircase to my room. I pulled a lonely backpack from the back of my closet and shoved my favorite close in it. I clicked my tongue as I felt around in the top drawer of my dresser for my most prized possession. I smiled as I felt my fingertips touch the small figurine. "El tigre," I whispered softly as I pulled out the tiny tiger statue.

I was lost in thought until I heard a car door in front of the house. I quickly shoved the statue into my cargo pocket with my ipod and rushed to the nightstand. I pulled out an envelope filled with cash that I had been saving just in case something happened. Planning ahead…do I get bonus points in life for this? I could hear footsteps on the stairs and I opened the balcony windows. The door opened slowly as I jumped from the balcony.

I clicked my tongue as I fell and landed lightly on my feet. I pulled the backpack tighter onto my back and started walking down the road. I had no clue where I was really going. I had no clue what I was going to do. I had nothing figured out. I merely walked. My feet treading their own path off the road and away from the main part of Jump City. The ground was changing. It became rocky and slippery. I could hear the water and smell the salt in the air.

"The ocean," I said softly as I sat down on large rock. I removed my Vans and socks and let my feet dangle in the water. I pulled out El Tigre and sat him on the rock. This is the very spot I met him. The very spot where I vowed to be a vegan. And the very spot where Gar left El Tigre for me. I left the cool ocean breeze wrap around me. "It seems like it were yesterday," I whispered. I heard footsteps and then a plop as someone sat next to me. I heard a hand fumble in the pebbles, searching for one to throw. I smiled as I heard the rock skipping across the water.

"I thought you were familiar," Beast Boy began, "but I never thought that you were the same girl I met here all those years ago." "And why is that?" I asked. "Well the white haired girl from my childhood had cat ears and was called Neko," he replied. "If I could see I probably would have noticed it was you and said something Garfield," I said softly. He chuckled, "Yeah it's kinda hard to hide green skin. I stick out like a sore thumb." We both laughed.

"So…I heard what happened," Beast Boy's voice was soft and apologetic. "News sure travels fast," I replied. "Where you gonna go?" Beast Boy asked. I sighed, "I really don't know yet. I was thinking about just walking until I collapsed but my feet brought me here." "Come with me. To Titan Tower. You could be one of us," I could tell by his voice that he was smiling. "Beast Boy I don't think I'd make a good Titan…I'm blind," I stared blankly at the ground as I spoke. "And you manage just fine without sight. Come on," he said as he grabbed my arm and pulled me up.

When we entered the tower Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire screamed, "SURPRISE!" Raven placed a communicator into my hand and in her monotone voice said, "You're on a trial period for now, but if things go well you'll officially be a Teen Titan." I tried to smile but I know it wasn't working. "What is wrong friend Kiri?" Starfire asked. I sighed, "I don't think I'm Titan material. I'm blind, I'd be a hindrance." Every one of them laughed at me. "Dude we didn't even know you were blind until you told us! You'll do fine," Cyborg encouraged me and soon they all were.

We ate some weird goop that Starfire made. Star said that it was Vegan safe…but honestly I don't think it was safe period. Beast Boy and Cyborg were puking their guts up for an hour after eating while Robin was trying to convince Starfire that they had eaten bad pizza earlier. Then we played Ninja Monkey 3D 2 on the Game Station XL. Yet the best part was watch Wicked Scary 4. It gave everyone the chills.

"Alright," Cyborg said as he turned off the TV, "I think it's time we all got some sleep. We got training in the morning." We all stood up. Beast Boy morphed into a cat and stretched. Robin started walking toward the main door and said, "But first we show our newest Titan to her room." All five of them lead me down the hall and stopped in front of a door. "This is your room. I think you'll like it, it's your favorite colour," Beast Boy's voice dropped as he said colour, as if remembering that I can't see. "Thank you Beast Boy," I smiled at him as I placed my hand on the pad to open the door. "Goodnight Kiri," The five Titans said in unison as they backed up. I turned to face them and said brightly, "Just call me Neko."


What do you think?

Bueno? Mal? No es interesante?

I can't really give my own opinion...It's bias.
