The Teen Titans fell out of the darkness, and onto a patch of soft grass with five loud 'thunks'. Robin stood up and looked around, followed by the others.
"This looks pretty normal," he said. They were standing next to a long road, empty save for an eerily familiar van parker a few feet behind them on the road. Beast Boy was the first one to see it.
"Hey guys, what's that?" said Beast Boy, pointing to the van. They all rushed over to it, and saw that it was empty. Starfire walked over to its side, looking at the strange vehicle.
"Friends, what does 'Mystery Machine' mean?" she asked.
"Mystery Machine?" responded Beast Boy. "That's the name of Mystery Inc's van!"
"Mystery...Ink?" Starfire repeated, with a hint of confusion in her voice.
"Yeah, from the cartoon 'Scooby Doo, Where Are You?'" Cyborg chimed in. "I wonder if the Scooby gang is around here somewhere. Maybe we get to meet up with them and solve a mystery!"
"Um, I don't think so..." Robin's voice trailed off. Both he and Raven were looking at his clothes. His once red and green uniform was now blue bellbottom pants, a white shirt and an orangey-red ascot.
"Dude, you're...sixties!" exclaimed Beast Boy before doubling over in a fit of laughter. Cyborg and Starfire joined in, and Raven couldn't help but smirk. Robin scowled, but then started to laugh also.
"I'm sixties? Look at Cyborg!" Over the last few seconds, Cyborg had grown a thick mop of shaggy brown hair and a tiny goatee, along with his newly acquired green shirt and brown bellbottom outfit. Cyborg stopped laughing.
"Oh man, I hate hair," he said with a frown, yanking at the messy brown mop on his head. By now, Beast Boy was the only one laughing. Starfire was now admiring her new outfit.
"Raven, does not this orange and red attire match my coloring? And what are these?" Starfire removed the thick glasses from her face to look at them. Only, when she did, she couldn't see a thing. Starfire lurched to the side when luckily Raven caught her before she hit the ground. "I seem to have lost the ability to see correctly."
"Yeah Star, that's what glasses are for," said Beast Boy. "Funny, I thought Star'd be Daphne, seeing as she has red hair and wears purple, and Raven would be Velma, being intelligent and all..."
"Excuse me, Beast Boy, but Star is not dumb, if that's what you're implying." Raven glared angrily at Best Boy. "She may be a little naïve, but she is intelligent. She just hasn't learned all of Earth's customs yet. What are you laughing at?"
The four other Titans were now looking at Raven, or rather, the purple mini dress, pink tights and lime green scarf she was wearing. Raven looked down at her clothes and winced. "Ugh, purple." Raven turned to the laughing Beast Boy. "I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, dog-boy."
Beast Boy stopped. "One, two, three, four...uh oh," he said, but instead of 'uh oh', it sounded like 'ruh roh', because he now resembled our favorite mystery solving Great Dane. Now it was Raven's turn to laugh. Beast Boy said something and started to run around in circles.
Now that everyone had "transformed" and stopped laughing at each other, they had no idea what to do next.
"Maybe we should drive down the road in the van. After all, that's what it's there for," suggested Robin.
"Sounds good to me!" answered Cyborg, "I've been itching to get behind a wheel!"
"Too bad," Robin replied, scrambling into the driver's seat. "Everyone knows Fred ALWAYS drives." Cyborg sulked and climbed in the back with Beast Boy.
And so, the Titans found themselves driving down a rural road. They had been driving for what felt like a really long time.
"Yo, there's a mini fridge back here! Hey BB, quit eating all of the chocolate-covered mini pizza bites!" At Cyborg's exclamation, both Robin and Raven made gagging noises, but Starfire reached back and grabbed a few of the snacks.
"These little morsels of cholesterol and sugar are delicious!" Robin and Raven looked at each other, and then at Star.
"Oh well, let's just hope we get somewhere soon, I think we're running out of gas," said Robin, and he turned back to the road, only to see a small town up ahead. The van started to make a sputtering noise, and slowed down until it came to a complete stop at the edge of the town.
"Guess this is a sign," said Cyborg, who climbed out of the van to get a better look. The town, which resembled an old western pioneering town, was totally empty. The dirt was a light, dusty brown and was pretty much everywhere, save for the small, wooden buildings lining the one main road.
"Looks like a ghost town," said Robin. "Maybe we should try going into one of the buildings."
"Yes, let us enter this one," said Starfire, and pulled the Titans into the Saloon. The Saloon was dark and covered with a layer of dust and cobwebs. There was a bar to the right, a few tables and chairs to the left and a big upright piano against the back wall. The girls and Robin wandered around, while Cyborg and Beast Boy sat down at the bar.
"Hey bartender, one root beer please," said Cyborg with a laugh. "And a bowl of water for the pooch." Beast Boy growled. A mug and bowl slid across the bar. "Hey, there's only cobwebs in here!" said Cyborg peering in to his mug. He then looked up to the far end of the bar, where there stood a skeleton in western attire, complete with a ten-gallon hat.
"Guys, I think we'd better run!"
Robin, Raven and Starfire didn't have to be told twice, especially when the skeleton started to grown and run after them. They ran down the street, and after they had reached the end of the road, realized that there was nowhere left to run.
"I hate to say this, but we'd better split up!" shouted Robin and so Starfire, Cyborg and Beast Boy darted to the right into the bank and Raven and Robin ran to the left into the General store.

What have the poor Titans gotten themselves into? What is Slade's real motive? Will the Titans be able to rescue Terra in time? Will I keep writing hypothetical questions? Stay tuned!
