Teen Titans – Video Games Are Fun!
10. Chapter 9: Getting Gay With Kids is Fun! (Read Author's Notes!)
A/N: Okay, this is based off of an episode of South Park. There was this child lip-sinking group called Getting Gay With Kids and the chapter title is the freakishly misleading chorus of the groups main song. I was thinking of giving an episode summary here, but I'm not sure that's legal on this site, so I think I'll just leave you with one last bit of reassurance. There will be no pedophilia in this chapter or, for that matter, the entirety of this fanfic! I repeat; no pedophilia! So, calm down! I'm no tight ass, but even I'm bothered by that concept… ewwwwww…
Mail Call!
Wow, six reviews! That's the best so far!
Rave-Widow – Thank you! I was wondering what it'd take to get you reviewing again. You're, like, the only person who actually comments on stuff that happens in the story! Do you know what one review said? "Hey" What the hell is that? That doesn't even make sense in my paint fume infused mind! Well, sorry for the ranting… like I always say, you can fix any problem with ranting and toast. It's a proven fact.
About coursework being stupid, I'm totally with you dude/dudette! That burrowing thing is based off what one of my cats does. He'll use anything he can find around him and turn it into part of a nest and one can usually only see one of his ears. And, he's extremely sensitive to touch in his sleep. I'm just glad that I was able to get control of my hands back in time to get Raven to kick that freaks ass. The point I was trying to get across is that perverted bastards exist no matter where you are! As for Terra, she's purely… scratch that… mostly good in this story. She's still got some quirks, but she's basically a positive addition to this story. She's been chosen to be their… NEVERMIND! Damnit! Almost did a spoiler! That wouldn't be be good at all! Thanks again for your review. Try to keep it up if you can. I'd appreciate it!
Nood – Yeah, I just love GIR so much! I was waiting for someone to point that out! You can expect to see a lot more Psychotic Raven in the future! And, do you think that I should introduce the readers to Russian Raven? Thanks for the review!
Tenshijaki – COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKIIIIIIIIIEEEEES! Gimme! I want cookies! Cookies are good! And, I'm spent, okay! I'm glad that there's gonna be some people who'll be surprised by the special Zelda-ish events! Doing things is what I like to do!
Sunkistgurl10 – Yeah, I guess I do kinda update a lot. I just make sure to update as often as possible. I hate people who take too long to update, so I don't wanna be a hypocrite, so I work quickly. It's not really that I type fast… maybe a little…. But mostly, I just keep at it whenever I've got something to work with. Well, thanks for the review. I honestly appreciate it.
Talim9 – Okay, try reading it again. It was originally meant as a joke, but it became something far more serious as I continued. Just read it. You might not understand some stuff I'm gonna do later if you don't. With that aside, thanks for the review! This is so awesome!
Warprince2000 – Thanks! Well, here's that next chapter you're asking for!
A/N: Don't miss the drama when BB and Rae finally reach their first temple, on TNT's drama in the daytime! I'm on vacation and have been watching TNT for the last eighty or so hours! I didn't know that so much Law & Order was possible!

Terra's Dream Sequence
I was just floating through an oddly familiar darkness, not that crappy metaphorical darkness meant to represent the darkness of one's soul, mine wouldn't be this black… not that I'm trying to say it would be white! It would probably be a pretty shade of grey… back to the point!
I was just floating through an oddly familiar darkness when a yellowish glow seemed to appear off in the distance… or really small right in front of me… that kind of effect, ya' know? I just stared at the light for the longest time, until it began to… speak?
"Terra" it said in a creepy and shadey way… kinda like Raven!
"Huh?" I asked, slightly creeped out by its… creepiness!
"Do you even know why I awakened you?"
"Uh… " I couldn't think of anything to say, 'cause I really didn't know.
"Two people from your past, both of whom you cared about to varying degrees and in different ways, have been sent to a dimension parallel to your own as to save it from a great evil power. You are the one chosen as their guide through their trials, due to your… particular experience."
"Uh… " I was still confused as I tried to register everything. I wasn't having very much success with that task… probably made harder by the murky and ominous way the voice liked to put things!
End Dream Sequence
I shot up from my sleeping location, incidentally causing me to slam my head against the top of the tube thingy. After rubbing my head as to relieve some of the pain, I began to wonder what that dream was all about. In my conscious mind, the information from the dream was finally seeming to make some sense. But, now I had to wonder; who was he talking about?
"Mommy, mommy!" I heard a small child shout. "There's a hippy in the tube!"
"It's okay honey" said another voice, this one belonging to a middle aged woman. "Just make sure not to get any second-hand highs."
I was officially pissed off. First, there's some old lady who thankfully had a sleeping disorder. Plus now, I was called a hippy! I hate hippies! I love meat out of spite for hippies! Hmmm… that's probably gotta have something to do with Cy's love of the stuff… wow! He must REALLY hate hippies! Just remember, every time you eat steak, a hippy's hackysack goes into the gutter…
With that, I climbed from the tube thingy and quickly left the park grounds. Outside, I used my powers to bring two fist sized rocks over to me, which I would use to fly to my final destination. "Well, here goes nothing!"

Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Promptly upon finishing our meal, we returned to our room to equip ourselves for the upcoming trials. Beast Boy got the sword and shield and I made sure that I still had the ocarina and hookshot. I figure, I found it, I'll use it. I may not know all that much about this world, but I'm gonna be as helpful as I damn well can!
As we were leaving, Beast Boy had told me to wait for him. I did so, and was pleased when he returned quickly.
"What did you do?" I asked upon seeing the proud expression on his face which could only be a bad sign.
"Nothing!" he said defensively. "I just got us a map in case this world isn't exactly like the game."
I nodded in approval. I seem to be agreeing with him quite a bit lately. Well, he's in his element… damned video games!
Finally prepared, we left the village behind rapidly. According to Beast Boy, the temple could take most of the day in this real life situation. Then, he started to mutter something about a 'boss'. I don't know what he was referring to, but I'm far too preoccupied to really be bothered. It's probably nothing.
After a surprisingly short walk, having expected it to take all day or something, we arrived at a strange tunnel leading into the woods beyond.

I was quite pleased when we reached the tunnel to the forest without incident. It really brought my mood up. Plus, as if to make my day, Raven didn't make one snide comment all the way here…
"So, ready to return to your atmosphere, grass stain?"
… and I spoke too soon!
Deciding that a village of midgets was the last thing Raven needed to see at this point, we took the shortcut to the Lost Woods. We crossed through another one of the tunnels like the one that had marked the entrance of the forest, and found some weird kid, looking oddly like a scarecrow with a skeleton mask on its face, reminding me of the game's stupidest mini-game. You give the little fuck a mask as a kid and he tries to kill you after the whole seven-years-later thing.
"Watch out, Rae" I warned, drawing the sword instinctively. "Those things don't like taller people, and he uses his flute like a blowgun."
"You gotta get a life" was all she said, sending a burst of energy to strike the kid before he even got a chance to attack.
I glared at her, trying to look annoyed and she just smirked at me and hovered through the nearby tunnel. I, of course, just followed her. I knew that we needed to stick together and I took the lead, having a slight memory of which way to go.
We followed the tunnels, without any problems until I reached the one I could never quite memorize. I decided to take the simple approach…
… the easy approach…
… shit…
… I don't think there is a simple approach…
… shit…
"Well?" Raven asked, glaring at me impatiently.
"I forgot the way" I replied, quietly, but just loud enough to be heard.

Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I was so irritated that I threw him against a tree. Who knows, I just might have boosted his memory…
"I remember now!" he nearly shouted as he stood. He then ran through the tunnel to my right, and I followed close behind, truly pleased that the physical harm I inflicted wasn't completely useless… other than giving me joy.
A short while later, we entered what looked like a forest maze… a different kind of maze than the one we had just gone through. This one was more open. We could actually see where we would end up… unlike the last one… what's with all the mazes?
"Sacred Forest Meadow" said Beast Boy, announcing our current location. I simply ignored him and walked through the opening directly ahead of me. I was just about to enter the first splitting path when I heard Beast Boy shout "Raven, wait!"
I tried to stop, but fell forward due to my momentum. I began to stand up, but stopped when I heard an ear splitting shriek. It sounded oddly pig-like. I looked in the direction of the sound, and chanted my mantra as to put up a barrier. But, all the I could get out was "Azarath Metr-" when I felt the end of a spear pierce through my shoulder. I felt myself be dragged as the creature was pushed forward by it's own momentum. But then, it stopped with such force that I flew off the spear, flesh and muscle tearing as I collided with the wall… and fell… into water… deep water. I thrashed about for a short while, attempting to swim. But, with my injury I couldn't do anything but sink to the bottom… as my consciousness faded. But, I could swear that I saw a pair of beautiful emerald eyes just before the blackness became absolute…

"Raven, wait!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. She actually listened to me but just fell from momentum… damn physics! I ran toward her as she began to stand, but I fell from shock when I heard the animalistic shriek. It was far more ferocious than I remembered from the game… but I guess that's to be expected.
I had just regained my balance when Raven was rushed by the creature. It was the same kind of bulldog/pig-like creature that had tried to attack me in the bath! It happened so quickly that I hardly had time to react. One second, she was there. The next, the monster was running with her hooked on his spear… oh! That sounded wrong.
I waisted no time in drawing my sword and rushing the creature from behind. In one clean stab, I had pierced its heart and it fell, creating a puddle of blood in its wake. But soon, it faded, blood and all, into an odd greenish mist. I'm really starting to hate the color green!
I hadn't given the beast a second glance as I sheathed the sword and leapt into the water. I swam toward Raven at top speed, making my hands webbed just for this situation. Just before I reached her, her eyes closed, causing a burst of terror to shoot through my entire body. I only swam quicker and pulled her from the water in record time.

Raven's POV
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
I felt like complete and utter shit as my consciousness slowly began to return. My entire body felt like lead and my shoulder seared with agony. I opened my eyes and was quite pleased to find the sun blocked out by the trees around me. I never thought I'd be so happy to see trees. Stupid trees… always so tall and proud… they can all just die for the amount I care!
"Rae… are you okay?" I didn't recognize the voice at first. But, slowly, I registered that it was Beast Boy. I tried to sit up but quickly gave up on that when I remembered the pain in my shoulder. I quickly folded my uninjured arm over myself so that the hand was over the wound.
"Azarath Metrion Zynthos" I chanted quietly, causing a warm sensation to rush through my entire right side. After a bit, the pain subsided and the injury was no more. I was pleased that Beast Boy had understood my actions and hadn't tried to stop me at any point. Maybe he's not as dumb as he acts… nah!

BB's POV

I noticed that she was trying to rise once again and I ran over to help her this time. She accepted my hand and I stood her up with little effort.
"We should get going. I already cleared the path… mostly" I said, pleased with myself when I heard the happy sigh escape her lips. I had, in fact, gone through the remainder of the area, taking down all those creatures, more in an attempt to get out some access aggression than to make future events easier. But, if it works, don't fix it, right?
She seemed to be fine since healing herself, so we made through the remainder of the meadow and to the stairs that lead to the temple's entrance… place… thingy. But, we quickly came up against the one person I had forgotten. It was a giant version of those bulldog/pig-like things. It was easily twenty+ feet in height. Even I was slightly intimidated…
But, Raven never let the beast react to our presence. As soon as she had seen it and it raised the club it held… did I mention the club? It's about the height of… me plus a half! Anyways, as soon as it had raised the club, she had quickly chanted her mantra, sending a burst of energy straight through its chest. It fell and soon discintegrated into the same green mist of its brethren.
And, as if nothing had happened, Raven and I just walked the length of the corridor and began to scale the next flight of stairs. Forest Temple, here we come…

I can't believe this is happening! Starfire's gonna rob a frickin' bank and Cyborg tells me to calm down! What's wrong with the team today? First, Beast Boy and Raven go missing… oh, I was supposed to check on that… whatever! I don't have time! Now, Star's gonna break the law and Cyborg doesn't care? What fucking psychotic world have I fallen into? I can't let her go through with this. Whatever her reasons, I have to stop her… even if I have to hurt her… but, dammit! It's black and white! You do something bad… without good reason… your bad! It's just that simple! Starfire, here I come!

It's just a little further. The tower's finally risen over the horizon. It's only a matter of time. Please. Let them be okay. Don't let them refuse. Well, either way, all I can do is hope. Titan's Tower, here I come…
A/N: Well, there's another chapter. I hope you like it. I don't know why but I couldn't seem to keep my concentration on it. I think I focused it on one group for too long or something. By the way, how do you like the simultaneous event thing I did? They've all reached a big point in the events of their story at the same time!
By the way, sorry for the shortness. I just wanted to end it here with all the story timelines equalized. So, just hang with me. There's gonna be a lot of action in the next few chapters. We've basically reached the point where the story really picks up!
