A/N: Hello everyone! I didn't get as many Reviews as I did the last chapter, but I think that may have been because I updated on a school night. So, I will be updating chapters on Fridays at night, sometime between 6-12, Central Time. Thanks a bunch!
OK! Review response time!
To YRProcks66: A special Triforce90 cookie! (hands you a cookie with about every topping possible) Glad you liked the chapter, and I hope you'll like this one!
To afterdark: I guess I should make things clear, I don't hate Yoko Ono. However, I did kind of think that she looked like an older version of the girl from "The Ring", so that's the only reason why she's in there! And yay! A 10/10! (dances for joy)
To ????: I KNOW! IT'S SO HARD TO END A CHAPTER WITHOUT A CLIFFHANGER! I'LL TRY EXTRA HARD THIS TIME, JUST FOR YOU!
To disappearer/Syani: Well, sorry to burst your bubble. But you don't have to go acting all whiney about it. I, too, am a Raven fan, and that was all added just for kicks. I would hate to see how you act on some of the Teen Titans episodes. Mind you, I don't care a didley about fluffy romance stuff (except for my little "angst" fic that I wrote, but that was just for the hell of it, and I was extremely bored that day), and I am titled to MY OPINION! I am not forcing you to read this, so if you don't want to then by all means, LEAVE!
To SpiderSquirrel: Ah . . . so it needs to be purple or red. Gotcha. And yes, I am quite awesome, aren't I? tries to hold in laughter I want to be your friend! But I don't have your email or anything. Do you have AIM? You could IM me on Jeb713, and email me at ! Or, just send an email on the link provided on my profile, and I'll try to respond back to you! That sounded way too formal. Poo.
To noname: Well . . . I guess you could say that. Not really, but close!
OK! Let's get this chapter over with!
Raven walked into the TV room, eyes still tingly from the accident before. There she saw Cyborg, Robin, and Starfire, slumped over the kitchen table and looking extremely down. Beast Boy was on the sofa, snipping out pictures from a magazine and pasting them onto a piece of paper. Apparently a tradition done in "To Kill a Mockinbird". Or, maybe they were blueprints for some kind of Yoko destroyer. Who knows?
Raven walked over and sat down at the table, where she then noticed what the Titans were trying to do. Apparently, all of Robin's hair about been shaved off, and Cyborg and Starfire were trying to glue a toupee to his head.
"Please do not resist, Robin!" said Starfire as she struggled with the messy super glue. Cyborg struggled in keeping Robin's head in place.
"You heard her, man!" said Cyborg. "This is for your own good!"
Finally, Starfire plopped the toupee on Robin's head, and Cyborg let go of him, sighing as he did. Robin had just donned on his head a brown toupee, which looked like something that would have been popular during the British Invasion.
"You look . . . fabulous!" said Starfire, struggling with words to describe Robin's new look.
"Yeah . . ." said Raven, staring at the black mob. "Just peachy."
Cyborg looked at the toupee. "This thing reminds me of my Beatles CD . . ." he said, sadly. "He was whacked!"
"Beast Boy?" asked Raven, Starfire, and Robin at the same time. The four Titans just stared at eachother.
"So . . ." said Robin, twirling his fake hair in his finger. "I'm guessing that the 'curse' is real?"
"Yeah," said Raven, rubbing her eyes. "Did any of you get sprayed with mace?"
"HE SPRAYED YOU WITH MACE?" shouted Cyborg, apparently shocked beyond belief.
"Yeah. We got in a struggle. I would've blocked it, but somehow my powers were gone. Beast Boy's too."
"My powers were gone as well," said Starfire, sadly. "Otherwise, I would have been able to retrieve my artificial hair hat."
"Is this something from the 'curse' too?" asked Robin, apparently not able to think of a better word than "curse".
"I guess so," said Raven, now twirling her own hair. Wait . . . twirling her hair? She never did that before.
"Well," said Robin, standing up. "I guess we should just ignore it until the time comes for him to come back to normal. I'm watching TV."
"I'm there," said Cyborg, standing up. Starfire sighed and shortly joined them.
Raven continued twirling her hair as she scanned the kitchen. Why? She didn't know. It was just something to do.
But she couldn't help but wonder why she had shouted "GIRL POWER!" when she kicked Beast Boy, or why she was twirling her hair. Maybe it had something to do with her loss of powers?
Wait . . . her powers were gone. Then that meant that . . .
Was it possible? Could she finally act . . . normal?
Raven giggled insanely. SHE COULD BE WILD! And nothing bad would happen, either!
Apparently, Raven's giggle caused all the Titans but Beast Boy to stare up at her. Raven got up as if nothing was wrong and made her way over to Beast Boy.
"Hey Beast Boy . . ." she said, slowly.
"Hmm?" he asked, not looking up from his "project".
And then . . . Raven jumped onto his lap.
"KISSY KISSY!"
"AAAAAAAAAH!" screamed Beast Boy as he threw Raven off of his lap, got up, and ran away.
Raven burst into hysterics as she watched the changeling dart from the room, not noticing the concerned looks from the Titans.
"Uh . . . Raven?" asked Starfire. "Is something troubling you?"
Raven immediately stopped laughing. "Noooooooooooo. Why do you ask?"
"You were . . . laughing."
"Grr . . ." Raven slowly got up. "What does it matter? Come on everybody! LET'S PARTY!"
Raven began to swing her hips Elvis Presley style as she swung her head left to right. The Titans couldn't help but stare with wide eyes.
Raven hopped over to a storage closet and pulled out a guitar. "Let's rock!" said Raven, putting the guitar over her head. She then began to sing and play.
"HEY HEY MAMA SAID THE WAY YOU MOVE
IS GONNA MAKE YOU SWEAT! MAKE YOU GROOVE!"
Raven played a short solo while the three Titans communicated.
"What is she doing?" asked Cyborg.
Raven began to sing again.
"THE CLAIM IS ON YOU!
THE SITES ARE ON ME!
WHAT CAN DOOOO
THAT'S GUARANTEED?"
"Don't know," said Robin. "Maybe it's part of the 'curse'?"
"With the lights out
IT'S LESS DANGEROUS!
Here we come now
ENTERTAIN US!
I feel stupid
AND CONTAGIOUS!
Here we are now
ENTERTAIN US!"
"Perhaps we should . . . FRIEND RAVEN, SHUT UP! YOU CAN'T SING!"
Raven stopped and looked at Starfire. "Well excuse me, Miss Bizznotch! Who died and made you President Nixon?"
Starfire was dumbfounded. "Uh . . ."
Raven clapped. "BRAVO! YAY!"
"Raven . . ." said Robin. "We need you to stop now. Please."
"NO! RAVEN WANTS TO PARTAY!"
"Raven can 'partay' somewhere else."
"Fine! Raven will partay on the couch!"
"What?"
"You said 'somewhere else'. I have picked a location." Raven jumped on the sofa and began to dance again.
The three Titans slowly walked away from the room and out the door, leaving the girl to stay alone for awhile.
Starfire peaked through the window. "Do you think she has stopped?"
"Doubt it," said Cyborg, also peaking. "But she's not in the room. Let's go in."
Robin slowly opened the door, followed by Cyborg and Starfire. They saw the living room and immediately gasped.
There was a disco ball on the ceiling, accompanied by strobe lights. Streamers were everywhere, with the occasional lava lamp on several tables. The door that led to the rooms flew open, and Raven slid out, dressed like a young Stevie Nicks. She began to dance once more to more rock 'n roll songs.
"Hey fellas have you heard the news?
Amy's back in town!"
Raven saw the three Titans staring at their living room, freaked out by the changes that Raven had made in such little time.
"COMPANY!" shouted Raven as she ran towards them, arms stretched out. "Come party with me! Here! Put these on!"
Raven threw Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg long wigs; one black, two brown. Raven put on her own blonde wig.
"We'll all dress up like Led Zeppelin, and then we'll have a concert! It'll be awesome!"
Starfire screamed and threw her wig in the air, then ran out the door once more. Robin and Cyborg soon joined her.
"WAIT!" cried Raven. "LED ZEPPELIN IS A FOUR-MAN GROUP!" She fell to the floor, saddened.
But then she had an idea!
Raven paraded around the vast streets of Jump City, now dressed up as Robert Plant, except she . . . uh . . . had a white shirt on underneath, if you know what I mean.
(A/N: Go to Google Images and type in Robert Plant. It's not inappropriate, but you'll see what the shirt has to do with anything!)
As she paraded, she noticed how everyone was just walking around, doing nothing. And they all looked so . . . so . . .
BORING!
Raven shrieked and ran to the nearest Home Depot. She walked inside, ran to the paint department, and bought at least 2000 gallons of different colored paints. She stared at her new purchase, smiled happily, and skipped out of the building.
It didn't take to long for the citizens to see what the girl had bought. Raven ignored all of the stares as she walked up to a nearby skyscraper. She looked from the skyscraper to the paint, then the skyscraper, then the paint again.
She cracked open a can of red paint and splashed all of the contents onto the side of the building. People gasped.
She did this, can after can, until soon enough the whole building was one huge collage of colors.
It looked like the Beatles's clothing store they had back in '68.
Sure enough, a huge tie-dye building was in the middle of a vast concrete world. Just several more hundred buildings to go!
"Raven . . ." came a voice from behind the Party Girl. "Turn around . . . slowly . . ."
Raven did not heed this "threat" and rapidly turned around to see Robin, Cyborg, and Starfire, standing there with fear in their eyes and hands held outward, as if trying to get Raven to back away.
"You come to play Rock Band Dress Up?" asked Raven, excited now.
"No . . ." said Robin. "We've come here to get you home."
"But why?" Raven looked sad. "The partay's just begun!"
"The 'partay' is over."
"Never! Not when Raven owns the streets!"
Cyborg stared at Raven. "You can't even drive, and now you expect to own the streets?"
"Raven doesn't need to drive!" she shouted back. "Raven moves with the power of Dance!"
Robin give an angry sigh. "That's it! I'm sick of your parties!"
"You've only been to one," said Raven, wondering what the heck the Boy Wonder meant.
"Yes . . . well . . . I'm still sick of it!" He lunged for Raven, but, as Raven said, she had the power of Dance with her, and easily dodged Robin's attempt. Robin fell face-first on the cold cement.
Cyborg, who had no super powers to begin with, fired a net at Raven. Once again, the power of Dance was too quick for such things as Raven tiptoed gracefully out of the way. Or . . . is that what it is? You know, that little thing that ballerinas do across the stage? Is that tiptoeing or some kind of exotic dance?
Oh well. Anyway, it was now Starfire's turn to attack! She hurled her arms towards Raven, but to no effect! She was powerless! How could she forget so easily!
"That was cool Starfire!" said Raven as she noticed Starfire's arm dancing. "Now try moving your feet some."
Starfire, who suddenly and, unexpectedly, very PO'd, ran towards Raven and leapt to jump. Of course, nothing could stop the power of Dance.
"Party poopers!" yelled Raven as she turned around. Unexpectedly, she pulled down her bellbottom pants and . . .
What? Did you think I was going to say "mooned them"? Well, she kind of did, but her panties were still on. But, on the back of the panties where her heiney was delicately placed, was a picture of a smiley face sticking his tongue out.
Robin looked up just to see this, and immediately put his face down on the ground again, scared beyond belief. Raven laughed spastically as she leapt down the city streets, her destination unknown.
Following Raven, we see that she has appeared just in front of the city's disco, ready and anxious to get in there and shake some bootay. She walked inside, only to notice that only people that must've been born in the sixties were here.
"Of course!" Raven said outloud. "It' s a disco! Only nostalgic people are going to come in here!"
An older looking man of about 39 walked up to her. "Are you old enough to be here?"
"I'm old enough to have a good time!" she said, smiling hugely.
"Oh good," said the man, reaching for his wallet. "How much will you take?"
"What?" asked Raven. It took her five minutes to understand what he meant.
"EW!" she screamed, knocking the wallet out of his hands. "CHILD MOLESTER!"
Raven danced quickly out of the way of the old fart and towards the center of the building. She noticed that all of the old people were staring at her, wondering what she was going to perform. Since when was a young person interested in disco?
"MAESTRO!" shouted Raven to the DJ. "Play something good!"
The DJ nodded and slammed an old record down, and soon enough, music began to pour out.
YOU CAN DANCE!!!!
YOU CAN JIVE!!!!
Havin' the time of your liiiife!
See that girl!
Watch the scene!
Diggin' the Dancing Queen!
Raven shook her booty and swung her head from side to side, then began tiptoeing to the rhythm. The old people, apparently impressed by her rhythmic skill, began to dance along with her. Soon enough, she was the head of a dancing line.
The people dipped, twirled, hopped around on one foot, and all of that jazz. Pretty soon, the song was over, and the dance line broke up.
Raven still danced in the same place as she was, this time dancing to Michael Jackson's "Beat It". For the sake of the author's remaining sanity, the lyrics will not be typed.
Raven began removing her Robert Plant style jacket, slowly, but still dancing. She closed her eyes and sang.
"I'M TO SEXY FOR MY JACKET!" said Raven, now removing the jacket. "I'M TOO SEXY FOR MY SHOES! TOO SEXY FOR MY SOCKS!"
A police officer walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me," he said, causing Raven to stop her feet stripping.
"Yeees?" she asked.
"We're going to have to ask you to leave. You're disgusting people with your shoe stripping."
"Oh! Is that so?" asked Raven, hands on hips. "Well in that case, I guess I'll just have to go do it elsewhere!"
"Oh, no you're not," said the officer, grabbing Raven by the arms. "You're going to have to come with me."
"WHAT?" she shrieked, trying to dance from the officer's grasp. "You can't do this to me! I'm Raven! Party Queen!"
"Well the Party Queen needs to sober down!" The guard led Raven outside, opened the door to his cop car, threw her in there, climbed in the drivers seat, turned on the car, put a stick of gum in his mouth, pulled out of the parking lot, and drove down the road. That has got to be the longest sentence in this chapter.
Raven was dragged into the station, where she was later questioned and searched for drugs. They did find several small bottles of helium, but Raven explained that that was to alter her voice when she sang "Money Talks" by AC/DC.
"The claim is on you!" she began to sing.
"Sing in your cell," said the officer as he threw Raven into an open and unoccupied cell. "We're contacting the people on your cell phone. We're going to see if they can come and get you."
"NO!" shouted Raven, grabbing the guards leg through the bars, on the ground and looking up at him, typical begging style. "You can't do that! They'll take me to the nut house!"
"Right . . ." The guard walked away, leaving Raven all by herself.
Raven sat on the cold concrete. There's beena lot of cold concrete lately.
"Poo," she said, poking the ground.
"We need to get the police station," said Robin as he hung up the phone. "Raven's been arrested for public shoe-stripping."
"What?" asked Cyborg. "What's shoe-stripping?"
"It's a CRIME, Cyborg!" said Robin, rolling his eyes. "Don't you know it's indecent to take your shoes off in public?"
"Uh . . . no. But then again, I don't wear shoes, so it doesn't concern me."
"Perhaps we need to go rescue friend Raven?" asked Starfire, an impatient look on her face. "NOW?"
"OK! OK!" said Robin, grabbing the keys for the T-Car. "Chill."
Robin slammed the door open the police station. You know what? Robin's done too many cool and important things in this chapter already. Let's change that.
Cyborg slammed open the door to the police station.
"RAVEN!" he called. "WHERE'S RAVEN!"
A random cop stood up and held out a pistol.
"DISTURBING THE PEACE!"
"Woah, Fred," said a balding man with gray hair, pushing Fred's arm down and the gun with it. He looked over at the Titans. "I'm sorry about that, kids. What can I do for you?"
"Yes," said Starfire. "We wish to buy our friend out of jail. Her name is Raven."
The balding man typed in a computer. "Raven. . . Raven." He sighed. "Apparently the computer is going by criminal charges. We'll only find her cell number if we know what crime she committed."
"Yeah," said Cyborg. "You may know her as the girl who was 'shoe-stripping'."
"GOOD LORD!" shouted the man, standing up. "You mean to tell me that she SHOE-STRIPPED?"
"Yeah," said Robin, nodding and frowning. "Amazing, isn't it? I know it's sad, but we promise, we'll never permit her to do it again." He looked around cautiously. "But uh . . . we might need to borrow a straightjacket, if you know what I mean."
"Sorry, kid. Can't lend straightjackets to people."
Robin pulled a one-dollar bill out of his pocket. "Even with, uh . . . this?"
The man grabbed the bill from Robin. "We'll send one right over." He turned around to a woman. An ugly woman, at that. Kind of like Janet Reno.
"Hey Sue!" he called. She looked up. "Lead these kids to prison block CC76!" The lady stood up and motioned the Titans to follow her. They did.
Raven hung up the last of her balloons and sighed in happiness. She was lucky that the police let her keep her cans of helium!
She heard her prison door open and turned around. There was an ugly lady, kind of like Janet Reno, thought Raven, and behind her the Titans! They came to rescue her!
"OH! I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!" She lunged at Robin and threw her arms around him and gave him a big, cuddly, dancy hug.
"Get away from me, vile woman!" cried Robin, unhooking Raven's arms and setting him free. "You should be ashamed of yourself! Shoe-stripping? I thought we taught you well!"
"But you did, Pa!" cried Raven, sad.
"Pa?" Robin looked confused.
Raven laughed spastically, as always. "Just kidding. But seriously, thanks for coming. Now I can go party some more!"
"No way, Raven!" shouted Starfire. "You must stay in the Tower! We cannot spend five-hundred dollars on you again and again!"
"But Ma!"
"Don't you 'Ma' me!" Starfire then looked at Robin. "Are we being to harsh on her, Dear?"
Cyborg slapped Starfire. "Of course not! Let's just get out of here!" Cyborg then looked around the cell. "Nice cell."
"Thanks!" said Raven, examining her work. "I'm very proud of it. It took me the time from between I got arrested to not too long ago. Approximately . . ." She looked at her watch. "10 minutes."
"Wow." Cyborg then grabbed Raven. "Let's go."
"But I just got here!"
"NOW!"
The balding man from before wheeled a straightjacket up the four Titans and Janet Reno.
"Here's the straightjacket you requested." He grabbed Raven from Cyborg and slammer her against it, then buckled her up.
Robin wheeled the straightjacket down the hall, Starfire and Cyborg following. Raven couldn't help but smile at the situation she was in.
"WAIT!" cried the man. "DON'T FORGET TO GIVE HER FOOD AND WATER!" He turned to the Janet Reno wannabe. "I probably should have told them that before."
The lady nodded.
"Quickly. Make sure my lawyer is available in three days. They'll want to sue."
Robin wheeled Raven into the Tower, followed, as usual, by Cyborg and Starfire. Raven turned her eyes back to where she was looking at Robin.
"OK Robin!" she said. "Now run really fast, and then let go!"
"No," he replied, wheeling her to the Tower's elevator, which was seldom used and used only in emergencies. "We're going to lock you in your room for a while. All by yourself. You can party all you want there."
"Oh goody! And maybe while I'm in there, I can redecorate! Turn all of that drab into something flashy!"
"Sure you will." With that, Robin and Raven were off to her room, leaving Cyborg and Starfire behind.
"So . . ." said Starfire. "Should we go look for Beast Boy?"
"Nah," said Cyborg. "Just leave him alone."
"How often until you think another one of us is infected?"
"By the rate this is all going, probably not too long. But you can't help but wonder who will be next."
"Indeed." Starfire then shuddered. "UH! This is all too suspenseful of an ending for the day! We should do something fun!"
"OK!" Cyborg ran to the kitchen and up to the sink, grabbing the kitchen sink faucet and turning the water on. "Water tag! I hit you with the water, and you have to try to hit me!"
"OK!"
And so, the robot and the alien played a friendly game of Water Tag, ending the day in a somewhat happy note.
OK, ???? How's that for a nonsuspenseful ending? It's the best I could do. Sorry.
OK again! A hint on the next character's insaneness! She has green eyes!
If that wasn't good enough, then she is tall, skinny, and wears a skimpy outfit! Who could it be?
And by the way! If any of you guys can tell me the names of the bands whose songs are in here, you'll get a special Triforce90 Cookie! But you have to name all of them!
Find out who the next person is and find out who the bands are, all on the next chapter! And leave a Review or two while you're at it! Bye!
