Chapter 9: The Flashback

Tip of the Day When doing flashbacks, make it clear where and when the flashback starts and ends. Also, make a flashback when you have to explain the past in detail. (LuckyDay)

Example: Red X was pinned down to the ground by a strong hand, which he knew so well.

Flashback- "Hey! Nice to see you again? Did you cut class again?" Red X laughed at his friend, who grabbed his hand in a firm, solid handshake." Flash Back End

Sunny tried hard not to look at Speedy or the others as Sparky said those words. "What if the love of your life isn't here?" The rest of the Titans stared at Sparky. Robin scratched his head.

"I guess you can pick another one, then," he mumbled. Speedy looked shocked, but recovered and quietly drank his Pepsi. Sparky asked Raven to pull one from the hat, and Raven quickly used her powers to find the perfect one. Sparky thanked her and read it out loud.

"You must hug and kiss the boy who is sitting closest to you." Speedy blushed, and Sparky looked a little nervous. All of a sudden, her cell phone went off.

"Saved by the bell," she said and went outside to take her call. When she left, all the Titans looked at Sunny. Starfire asked, "Who is this boy who Sparky speaks of?"

Sunny cleared her throat and looked at them. "His name is Zorro. He is the one who took her heart. It all began in 8th grade at Ridgecrest Junior High…"

Flashback

Sparky was walking out of class one day with Sunny and Aqualad as the bell rang. They walked a little and met Speedy, who walked next to Sparky.

"Algebra was whack! I didn't understand explanation of the problem! I know how to do it, and I definitely know that two plus two does not equal sixteen," Sparky said as they got to their lockers. Sparky opened hers and dropped her books in and took out her brown bag. It was leaking. She tossed it into the trash can and waited for Sunny and Aqualad to get their stuff. Speedy hurried up to Sparky, who was leaning on the lockers, bored.

"Let me carry your books," offered Aqualad. Sunny gave him her books and the foursome walked to their special table. They all sat down. Speedy gave Sparky half of his mother's homemade ham and cheese sandwich. She quickly ate it and stood up.

"Well, I'm headed down to the field to either play extreme dodgeball with Captain CharLee, archery with the Ing brothers, or fencing with Spencer the fencer. See you slowpokes later!" Sparky ran quickly and head down. She jumped onto a railing and slid down like it was a skateboard. She jumped off, did a three-sixty and landed on her feet. Hand clapping reached her ears. A boy who was dressed in a white t-shirt and black jeans walked up to her. He had on a black mask, and had on a long black and red cape. He stuck out his hand.

"My name is Zorro. Nice to meet you," he said. Sparky shook his hand. "My name is Sparky. Nice to meet you." She walked down a cement slope with him and they talked about random stuff like track and baseball. Sparky glanced at the field, and saw a flashing light on top of a steep green hill. She walked up to it and looked at it. Zorro followed her, but then yelled, "Look Out!" Sparky turned around and saw a guy in a black trench coat shoot his laser at her chest. She tried to duck, but the flashing light had been a trap and pinned her to the ground. Zorro jumped in front of her and grabbed her. He pushed her down the hill and the tumbled. As they hit the bottom, Sparky was on her back, flat. Zorro got up and held out a hand to Sparky and pulled her up. He looked at her.

"You okay?" Sparky nodded her head, but then saw the laser burn on his neck. She reached out her hand and brushed off the blood with her t-shirt. She looked melancholy, and tears began to fall from her eyes.

"It's my entire fault. I'm sorry Zorro," she said, and cried into his cape. He awkwardly hugged her.

"It okay, Sparky. You were doing what you knew was right." Speedy, Sunny, and Aqualad had heard the commotion and ran down to find Sparky. She wasn't there; only a black caped person was down there at the bottom of the hill. Then Sunny knew where Sparky was. She ran to the hill and found the machine. She looked down at the guy.

"Keep her safe, please." Speedy looked down and then saw Sparky with the black caped boy. He gasped, and turned away, tears running from his eyes. Aqualad and Sunny chased after him…

Flashback Ended/Interrupted

"So you had to tell them my story without inviting me?" asked Sparky as she entered the room. Sunny turned to her with a look in her eyes, and Sparky understood. She looked at Sunny and said, "I'm meeting him tonight. Go have your party without me. I'll be gone all night," As she turned to leave Speedy, grabbed her arm.

"I'll come with you, to protect you," he offered. Sparky looked away. "I can save myself," and pushed his hand away. She neared the door, Sparky pulled on her regular clothes and twin sais. She tossed Cyborg a beeping red button.

"I don't like tracking devices. Night, Sunny." Sparky left the room. The Titans began to buzz with questions. Who is Zorro? Is he related to Red X?

Sunny stopped the questions.

"It'll soon be Thanksgiving, why don't we have a Thanksgiving feast?" The Titans all agreed.

Sunny smiled. "Okay, Robin and Starfire can prepare the decorations, Raven and Cyborg can create the play, Terra and Beast Boy can find the games, Aqualad and I will provide the music and singing, and Speedy and Sparky can cook the meal. Remember, a turkey and tofu," said Sunny. The Titans looked at the clock it was midnight.

"Night ya'll. See you in the morning," said Cyborg as he shut down. Every Titan fell asleep, except Speedy. He walked up to Sparky's sleeping bag and picked it up. A note fluttered out.

To Speedy

Sorry for everything I have done to make your life miserable.

Sparky

Speedy looked at it and whispered, "It's alright Sparky. I forgive you." He hugged the letter and went into his sleeping bag. He fell into a deep sleep which was peaceful.

In a dark warehouse:

Sparky leapt in through the window and quietly landed on the floor. She looked around, and flexed her twin sais. A movement came, and she threw the sais at him. The figure caught them. Sparky looked at him and smiled. The figure went up to her and hugged her.

"I'm sorry about last time. Can I ever make it up to you?" Sparky pulled off the white mask and looked him in the eyes. Then she thought of Speedy. Sparky pulled away and sat down on a crate.

"I have to stay with the Titans. You were once a good guy, why not now?" Red X chuckled.

"You always said I had to play the hero part. I guess you never expected me to take you seriously," retorted Red X playfully. Sparky laughed, and Red X gave her an invitation. It read, "This is going to be the Christmas Blast Ball of the year! Come and bring your friends and sweethearts!"

Sparky took it and they looked at each other. "I'll bring the others. Until then, my hero." She stood up and headed out when Red X shot his hand out and grabbed her shoulder. He shook her hand once more, then gave her a "football pass" hug. Sparky left afterwards. It was six in the morning when she got home.

"I'm back!" she yelled loud and clear. All of a sudden, all of the Titans were looking at her, and it was dark with only a light shinning over her.

"Where have you been?" asked Robin in a fatherly voice. Sparky gulped and replied, "Somewhere." The Titans held up a record and it said every single word Sparky had said in her conversation with Red X. She understood. She looked at Sunny desperately, but then Cyborg blocked her.

"Who was that guy? What did you guys talk about?" asked Cyborg. Sparky looked at Sunny again, and Sunny understood. She jumped up and kicked the tape recorder out of Robin's hand. Sparky was about to puncture it when an arrow blew it up. Everyone looked at Speedy.

"It's her privacy. Let her be," said Speedy. Sparky looked away and out into the clear water. She thought she saw Red X, and grinned. Starfire hugged her.

"It is joyous that you are back! We are going to have a feast for the thanks of giving! Can you cook?" asked the alien. Sparky got a glitter in her eyes and said, "Watch me!" She dragged Speedy out the door to go buy grocery. As they got out the door, Sparky looked at Speedy and said, "Thank You." They walked to Jump City's super Whole Foods store and went to shop.

The Titans watched them leave, and turned to Sunny. "Your sister okay?" Sunny nodded, and everyone got ready.

"Everyone, you'll have to change into costumes! But lets wait till Speedy and Sparky get back," said Cyborg as Raven mentally made costumes. Everyone was busy. The doors opened.

"We're back!"
