AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK. This is my first Teen Titans fanfic, so be nice, please. This chapter focuses more on Carly, but I promise that the next chapter will be from the Teen Titans' point of view.
I hope Carly's not a Mary Sue. I couldn't find a Mary Sue litmus test online, so if any of you know of one, could you please tell me in a review or email me? My email address is in my bio. Oh, and the two sections under the summary are prologues, I couldn't decide which one to use (although I like the second one better), so they're both in there. The first one doesn't lead to the second one.
And I'm really sorry it's so short. I just thought it would be a good place to stop. And sorry for any mistakes, I don't have a beta reader. As soon as my friends start watching Teen Titans, I'll have one. Unless one of you wants to volunteer…
---------------------
EXTENDED SUMMARY: Carly, a girl from this reality, gets to the Teen Titans' reality through a portal. She wants to meet the Teen Titans, so she taunts a monster into attacking her, thereby making the Teen Titans rescue her. Once the danger is past, she talks to Raven and gets an idea: to switch bodies/minds with Raven. Raven has never had a chance at a normal life, and Carly gets the chance she's wished for all her life: super powers. So they find a way to switch, and Raven goes back to Carly's reality, and Carly goes to Titan Tower with the rest of the Teen Titans. For a few days, both girls are in paradise. But then Slade finds out about the portal, and Carly (in Raven's body) is forced to own up to the switch. Can Carly (who's never done any fighting before), relying on what was in the TV episodes, and the rest of the Teen Titans, unswitch Raven and Carly, and close the portal before Slade can get into a world without any Teen Titans to save it?
----------------------
Carly loved Teen Titans more than life itself. So what happened next was no surprise, really, to those who knew her well.
Raven was her favorite character, another big surprise. They were so alike some ways. Carly could relate to her more than she could relate to most of her friends.
----------------------
Carly was a 5'1, black haired (the result of hair dye, she was naturally blond), 15-year-old girl who loved Teen Titans as much as life itself. Raven was her favorite character, naturally. She was just that kind of person. But, unlike Raven, she could laugh, cry, and get mad without things exploding or melting.
Raven was a 5', violet haired, 15-year-old superhero who was part of the Teen Titans. She was the gothic character, the one who loved meditation, the one who kept a straight face all the time.
Although they were practically nothing alike, Fate brought them together. For good or bad had to be determined.
----------------------
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
Carly woke up slowly, reluctantly. It was midnight, right when she had set her alarm to go off. She had recently moved into a new house and decided to explore her new surroundings at night. After all, there was no telling what could happen at night. It was a magical time, when wishes came true and things happened.
She got up, got dressed, got a flashlight, and snuck outside. As soon as she got out of seeing distance of the house (in case anybody was looking out the window), she turned the flashlight on.
As she shined her flashlight in front of her, she failed to see a tree branch on the ground. She tripped over it, twisting her ankle.
"Ouch!" she cried softly as she landed. Her flashlight tumbled out of her hands and rolled down a hill into a river.
Carly cursed and looked around, pulling herself up to a sitting position. She thought she saw a light in the distance. It was enchanting, and Carly found herself limping painfully towards it. As she got closer, the light turned different colors.'What is this?' she thought. 'It's making me come towards it. It's almost as if it were magical or something. Or something dangerous, like those fish that glow to attract other fish and then eat them.'
Carly finally found herself in front of the light source. It seemed to be swirling, and just made of lights. She circled it, and found it seemed to be flat and just floating over the ground. She shrugged and touched it.
Carly was pulled through a whirl of lights, colors, and sounds. 'It's almost as if… no, it couldn't be…' she thought. 'But what else could it be? Let's face it, I think I'm being pulled through a portal.'
Finally, Carly dropped to the ground on her injured ankle. "OUCH!" she shouted. She seemed to be in a deserted warehouse. The portal-like thing was on the wall. After a few minutes of nursing her ankle and ripping off a strip of her black shirt to bind her ankle, she stepped cautiously outside. There, not ten feet away from the warehouse, was a sign. She went closer to the sign to read it. After she read it, Carly gasped and fainted. The sign read:
JUMP CITY
POPULATION: 10,000
----------------------
I have no idea how many people Jump City has in it. If any of you know, tell me and I'll change it. Review and I'll love you like Triple Chocolate frozen custard with fudge chunks in it!
