Teen Titans- Behind the scenes

Disclaimer: Teen Titans are not mine. Well, Doy. I've had to say that enough now.

Watch them get it wrong. Only on the Zoicyte channel.

The song American woman blared in the background, much to Raven's discontent.

"Dude! Come on and dance!" BeastBoy called.

Starfire was quick to oblige.

Cyborg opened the door to the front room.

"Hey! Pipe down in there! I'm tryin to put on some rust away!"

"Sorry babe! We'll keep it at a minimum scream? Kay?" Starfire called out.

Terra continued rocking, oblivious to anything else.

The director poked his head in.

"What is going on in here?!"

"Pep rally, I guess." Raven said, slipping on her headphones and tuning into the wonderful world of Evanesscence.

"I have your new script here! Raven, make them read it!"

Raven gave him a thumbs up sign.

The director sighed, and left the room.

"Hey, everybody! We've got the new scripts here!"

Terra dashed over. "Thanks Rae!"

"No problem." Raven unwrapped a piece of gum and stuck it in her mouth.

BeastBoy snatched his, followed quickly by Starfire, who delivered Cyborg's to him.

"Okay, everybody, let's go over this."

"Rae, Robin's still asleep."

Raven looked at her shoulder. Sure enough, he was still deep in slumber.

She shook a bit.

"Yo, Rich. Wakey Wakey! NOW!"

"Huh? Wha-Rae?"

"Uh, Yeah. We've got tonight's scripts here, we have to go over them."

"Okay, let's go then."

Raven glared at the radio, and telekinetically shut it off.

"Okay, we open with Terra....yadda yadda yadda....oh look she's remembering stuff....yammer yammer.."

Terra nodded. "I can do this! Piece of cake."

"We show up.....yeah yeah, attack Terra, Terra runs off...."

"Aw, man! I have to run to Slade and he hits me around!"

"Slade melds the three uglies together.." Raven popped her bubble.

"We fight them..." Robin continued, looking at Raven's script, being too lazy to get his own.

"I run off to get Terra.." Beastboy reads.

"Oh look, I get to help you when you get knocked down." Raven grins.

"Yeah. Wow. I fall." Robin says, still unable to believe this new turn of events.

"We all have to fall down sometime, Robby-poo."

The Titans break up in laughter.

Robin lightly smacks Raven on the head.

"Rae!"

"Couldnt help it."

"Okay, then. Rae-Rae."

"Robby-poo."

"Ravey- avey."

"Birdie-boy."

"Goth Rocker"

"Boy Scout"

The Titans watch in fascination.

"Crazy"

"Groupie"

"Psycho"

"Lazy"

"Junkie"

Spiky hair"

"Boy haircut"

"Justice freak"

"Sociopath"

"Goody Goody"

"Evil girl"

"Okay! That's enough, y'all!" Cyborg shouts.

Starfire giggles, and Terra grins.

"So, uh, you guys go to find me.." Beastboy reads, attempting to restore some order.

"Tell me Richard, is that mask permanently stuck to your face?"

"How do you manage to not smother in your sleep with that cape, Dearest Raven?"

"How many gallons of hair gel do you use a day now, Rich darling?"

"How many children have you scared this week, Raven honey?"

The director pokes his head in.

"Are you guys ready yet?!"

The Titans freeze.

"Uh....."

"Halfway?" Robin volunteers.

"Get with it!"

Slam.

"Okay, so...I find Terra, she tells me to destroy her.."

"Destroy me, Beastboy! Isn't that what you came for? Hurry up and kill me so I can get that vacation time already!" Terra yells.

The Titans burst out laughing.

"So, then she pins me and is about to kill me, you all show up..."

"Hopefully not with a Sobe Power and a mirror in your hands this time, Raven and Robin."

"Hey, at least I got there last time!" Raven pouts fakingly.

"Yeah, Cyborg. You had left the building." Robin grins, drawing Raven closer to him.

"Dude! When they found you-"

"You were at the motorcycle shop!"

"Soo hanging out with those biker friends of yours!"

"That was, like totally funny, y'know?" Starfire finishes.

"But seriously, Rae, this time you cant come on stage drinking a sobe, okay?"

Raven frowns, leaning into Robins chest. A muffled giggle is heard.

"Well, after y'all get through this disaster scene, Terra fights with Slade, organ music on in the background." Cyborg blinks. "Okay, if he says so.."

Beastboy arches his fingers, as if playing an invisible organ. "Doo doo doo doo doo dooo"

"Phantom of the Opera!" Raven shrieks, standing up.

"In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came...That voice which calls to me, and speaks my name..."

Raven sings, sweeping her arm out.....operatically.

She walks a few paces, and continues.

"And do I dream again? For now I find......The Phantom Of The Opera is there-inside my mind..."

Robin gets up, swirling his cape around himself.

"Sing once again with me... a strange duet....my power over you grows stronger yet..... "

He walks over to her.

"And though you turn from me, to glance behind, The Phantom of The Opera is there, inside your mind.."

Raven continues, sweeping around the floor, well, operatically.

"Those who have seen your face draw back in fear.... I am the mask you wear.."

She tries to pull off Robin's mask, but he ducks away, grinning.

"It's me they hear.."

Slade enters the room, and shakes his head.

"I never should have given them those theatre tickets..."

"You couldnt have known Raven was a phan." Terra says, shrugging as they continue their duet.

Robin runs off a ways to prevent the mask snatching.

"In all your fantasies, you always knew that man and mystery..."

Raven slides over to grab at the mask again.

"Were both in you.."

Robin grabs her hand and twirls her around.

They both start to sing.

"And in this Labyrinth where night is blind, The Phantom of the Opera is there/here- inside your/my mind..."

"That was their first date." Starfire sighs, knowing the next part by heart.

Terra covers her ears.

"Sing, my angel of music!" Robin commands.

"He's there, the Phantom of the Opera!"

"Sing!"

Raven's singing becomes more and more loud and extravagant, until the director bursts in the door.

Everyone jumps.

Several mirrors break as Raven becomes suprised.

"What are you DOING in here?"

"Vocalizing." Slade answers.

"That's not what I asked you to do!!"

Slade shrugs.

"Somebody get me an aspirin..."

The director wanders off, looking rather lost.

"Have you even read the script yet?" Slade asks.

"Mostly." Starfire shrugs.

"Let's see....The place explodes into a lava-y mess...That's funny, wasn't it a church a while ago?"

"I think so.... Oh well." Slade answers.

Cyborg continues skimming the script.

BeastBoy tries to get Terra to leave, but she stays to stop it.."

"Oh joy." Terra comments. "What a hero I've become in the last three minutes."

"She turns to stone, that oughta be a long makeup session....Slade's mask is seen melting, but if it was him, I dunno."

"Lovely. Leave me and my paycheck hanging." Slade rolls the one eye that can be seen through the mask.

"We all come back, well, Me, Star, BB, Rae, and Robin, and set flowers and a mushy plaque down by her. Rae makes a comment about trying to find an antidote, and, we leave."

"Geez." Terra's eyes widen. "I gotta stand still for a long time. This is gonna take a few tries."

"Well, yeah. We cant do this stuff right the first one hundred times, that would be a miracle."

"Everybody ready?" Starfire asks.

A chorus of affirmations are heard.

"Alrighty! Let's go!"

The Titans leave the dressing room.

The director groans.

"You guys are too late! We put on Ed, Edd and Eddy instead!"

"What?"

"They don't take forever to go over their scripts!"

"They don't even have scripts, Dude." Cyborg says.

Behind the Director, Ed runs by and smashes into a camera.

The lights go out.

Slade turns to the Titans.

"Alright, who wants to go out and party?"

Everyone nods.

They head out the door, leaving the Director to clean up after the Eds.
