Chapter 3: an unforgettable history lesson
Disclaimer: I don't own teen titans. Deal with it.
"This is our house?" Raven asked aghast
"We just missed by 0.1 we can get out of this house by next week" Cyborg said
They put in their beds and few possessions, which barely fit, in the room. There was little room to move around, and the bathroom was small and a very ugly shade pink. The weekend went by pretty quickly and before the titans could say odamodapea the Monday bell rang.
Raven and Beast boys' class:
"Now class as your all aware of that you have a history project due Monday. I'm feeling generous so you can work in partners whom I will assign" Mr. Brancamp (or Brainkrap) dulled.
"Sean and Michelle; Alex and Alexis; Felicity and George; Raven and Beast boy..." Mr. Brancamp called
"Um Mr. Brancamp what's the project on?" Alexis asked
"The history of Alakuloinen, because as you know we've been here since the beginning of time" Mr. B said rambling on and on
Cyborg's class:
"Holly pay attention" snapped Mrs. Ayabe
"I'm listening you were talking about genes and heredity" Holly yawned lifting her head from the table
"So her name's Holly..." Cyborg thought
Starfire and Robin's class:
"Look an atom" Mr. Avalone said pointing to the overhead
Robin mouthed the words to Starfire making a funny face to go along with it.
"Robin!" Mr. Avalone Snapped "That's no way to hit on a girl, why when I was your age my friends and I would spit on the girls we liked; of course it never worked, but we tried" Mr. Avalone said getting off topic again. While Robin just sat there shaking his head blushing a bit. Starfire let out a giggle.
"I guess it worked..." Mr. Avalone said
"What I wasn't-I don't- I mean" Robin mumbled blushing
l8ter:
"Beast boy and I have to go to the library to research for our project" Raven said walking out of the room
"Okay have fun" Starfire said watching them walk out of the room.
At the library:
"There's too many books here can I go now?" Beast boy complained
"No" Raven said pulling out a book at setting it on one of the empty table tops
She skimmed the page and scribbled a few notes on a blank sheet of paper.
"Hey" a girl said
"What" Raven said annoyed
"I just wanted my bag" The girl snapped picking up an indigo backpack
Raven spent a lot of time looking through the books and she had almost all the information she needed except for one fact of your choice. She picked up an old looking book she found wedged between all the other books on the topic of their city.
"This one looks different" Raven said taking it to the check out counter
"Sure whatever, a books a book" Beast boy muttered
"Look I'm sorry miss but this book isn't owned by our library" the librarian said
"I'll find its owner" Raven said she figured the snappy girl must have left it there
"Okay that would be very helpful" the plump old woman said
Raven walked out of there and started reading the book.
Diary,
The truth about this cursed town I would like everyone to hear, my name I cannot tell but if you are reading this I'm not someone to fear. I must spread the truth I must get rid of this sorry city. I need peoples help and if you want to help me, spread the word (or the book). I know this is not real. I remember a city, big and dirty, but in the same sense beautiful. Gothem. That's where I'm from I can feel it in my heart, and the word rolls off my tongue. We lived where we wanted based on money; no tests at all. Life was good. One thing I want you all to know is that the city's name, Alakuloinen, which means in low spirits, in Finnish a language which I know still. Listen to these words and hold them as truth, pass on the news.

Raven put down the book quietly thinking: someone else knows about the real world.
Starfire walked in half an hour later from a trip to the store and picked up the book. Silently she read the diary entry and wondered how it got in their house, but just put it down in the same place. Robin walked in smiling.
"Hey Starfire, wanna go to the park?" Robin asked
"Glorious." Starfire said getting up from her bed and walking to the door.
They walked in silence until a snobby girl walked up to robin.
"Hey Robin" the girl said in a commanding tone
"Yea" Robin said a little annoyed
"Would you consider marring the fantastic and beautiful me?" the girl asked forcefully
"No, I don't even know your name" Robin said speeding up to catch up to Starfire.
"My name's Amanda" the girl called
"Still no!" Robin called back over his shoulder
In the secret part of her heart Starfire was wondering if Robin would marry her...
As if one side of her mind said sadly
But there's hope! Star's other side argued
That's as likely to happen as getting run over by a car while standing on the very tip top of the Eiffel tower. The negative side thought
I really have to stop talking to myself or I'll end up as weird as Becca... Starfire's positive side thought shaking her head in dismay.
With marriage only a week away will the titans be able to fight this invisible force or be stuck getting married? With Raven's help will Beast boy raise his score? Whose diary is it? Why did I include Mr. Brainkrap and Mr. Avalone? Why did I call myself weird? I really appreciate reviews and suggestions, but I won't force you to review so review if you feel up to it. (I also love questions)
