Tour
Raven made hundreds of calls, saying who didn't make it. She became impatient from the people who were crying and yelling.
"I'm sorry, you just didn't make it," She said.
"You know, I never liked your band. You guys always s…." Raven hung up on them, not wanting to hear what they had to say.
"This is driving me to crazy town," She said, fixing her hair.
The others looked at her and looked back at their instruments. Cyborg was at his drum set, he drummed a song and then he drummed another. Raven made more calls as she tried to control her emotions. She rolled her eyes at some comments that the people were giving her.
"I can't do this anymore," Raven said as she hung up the phone.
"I'll do it," Cyborg said walking towards Raven.
Raven got up and went to her microphone. She tested her voice and started singing. Beast boy and Robin started playing to her song called 'Azarath Metrion Zinthos'. It was a big hit and all the fans loved it.
"Keep it down ya'll," Cyborg yelled trying to listen to the person over the phone.
The band stopped playing and they decided to play chess. They took their time at playing chess, since it was going to be a long day and they wanted to kill time. An hour later, Cyborg had called everyone that tried out, and it was the lucky person that Cyborg was going to call. Cyborg dialed the phone number slowly, he didn't want to accidentally call some one else.
"Hurry, Victor, Call!" Beast boy yelled.
The phone started to ring and Cyborg waited impatiently. Then a girl answered. Cyborg recognized the voice and opened his mouth, "Kori, you're in!" and Kori screamed on the other line, you could probably hear her a mile away, "Come tomorrow and you better be ready." Cyborg hung up.
"I hope we made the right choice," Cyborg sighed.
"Me, too," Raven said.
The next day, Kori came with her black leather Capri pants and a red T shirt. She carried her purple guitar case with her guitar in it. She was so excited to have made it in the try-outs. She walked up to the same place she had tried out. There she saw the band waiting for her; they had packed up all their things. Kori each shook their hands and said good morning to them.
"Are you ready to rock and roll?" Beast boy asked.
"Yeah," Kori nodded.
"Good, now let's go," Robin said.
They all headed for the bus that took them almost everywhere. They went in the bus one by one. Kori saw the bus driver and the seats that looked like a couch. They all sat down and Kori did too. She looked at everything. She saw a door way that led to bunk beds in the next room.
"Where are your instruments?" Kori asked noticing that they didn't bring in their instruments.
"They're putting it away for us," Robin explained.
"Who is?" Kori asked puzzled.
"Security guards," Beast boy said.
"Well we have to go to the studio. We need to practice some of our songs and we need to see if you can sing heavy metal, Kori."
"Heavy metal? I am a girl; I can't sing that kind of music." Kori explained.
"Raven can, you said you were a fast learner, so may be you can learn to sing it." Cyborg told Kori.
"I know." Kori said.
On the rest of the way they talked about the music. When they got to the studio, they went straight into the music room where Kori was the only one that they'd be listening to. She had her guitar ready to play.
"Okay, try playing that rock song and then try singing heavy metal. Then I want to hear how you really sing." Beast boy said in the other room.
Kori nodded, she plucked her guitar string, and then she started to play on her guitar. She tried to sing as heavy metal as she could, the band kind of liked it, but she needed more practice. Then she sang how she really sang. A soft song she sang. It was a happy song and the band liked it, but it wasn't them. They made so-so looks at each other. Raven went in the room to join her, Raven told her to copy her. Raven said some heavy metal words and gestured for Kori to copy her. Kori did so and she almost got it. For thirty minutes, Raven and Kori were singing and Kori caught on quickly. The three boys that were sitting in the other room clapped their hands as they looked at the two girls singing through the widow. The two girls stepped out of the room, "I barely noticed that, may be we could do some grunge for the band," Raven insisted.
"I guess," said Beast boy.
"Kori could sing a little grunge at times in the concert," Raven told them as they nodded looking at Kori.
For another two hours the band played together, Kori watched them as they played really well. She started writing down lyrics for her grunge song. She was so excited to join their band. It was a new beginning for her. Soon after she had finished her song, her new song.
Raven came in to see what Kori was doing. She leaned over Kori reading her lyrics. Raven nodded and nodded at the progress of Kori.
"That's a really good song; you should sing it at one of our concerts. Every one will love it." Raven said delighted.
"Thank you, I can not wait to sing it," Kori said happy to hear that Raven liked it.
For three weeks, the band had been practicing the new song that Kori made up. The progress was really good and in two more weeks they had to go touring to different states and cities. Kori was excited and so was the rest of the band.
During the nights they slept in the bus, there was only two bunk beds. So Beast boy, being generous, made a bed on the floor. They laughed and talk during the night, until they yawned and fell asleep. They kept talking about the concerts and Kori made little exciting noises as they talked about it.
"Kori, you're really progressing," said Robin.
"Thanks, I am really glad that I am a fast learner." Kori smiled.
Kori was on the top bunk and lying under her was Raven. They fell asleep that night dreaming of them at concerts. Kori still had her song in her head, repeating itself over and over.
The next morning, they got ready and went into the studio, this time only the boys were going to play. Raven sat down listening to them and Kori the same. Kori looked at Raven's purple hair that was short. Then she looked at Beast boy's green hair.
"Can I dye my hair?" Kori asked Raven.
"If you want, it's a really cool thing to do." Raven said facing her, "But your hair is awesome,"
That night Kori insisted she lay on the floor this time, since for about three weeks Beast boy was laying on the floor. Beast boy went back to his bed, which was on the top bunk of Raven. Beast boy always loved the top bunk. Beast boy made silly jokes and Raven kicked his bed making him jump and everyone laughed.
"Shut up, Gar," Raven said, still kicking the top bunk.
The two weeks were just around the corner. They sang and played for an hour every day. Before they knew it they were on the road to different states. Millions of people were buying ticket like mad. The band was getting ready, putting instruments on the stage. Soon the day was near and the whole stadium was packed. The concert was ready for them.
"Okay, we're going to play Azarath Metrion Zinthos first," Raven said.
"What about Trigun?" Beast boy asked.
"Okay fine we'll play that, but Kori is going to play her song last." Raven said.
Then the band went on stage as the crowd went wild. The band took their positions and Raven screamed, "Thank you all for coming for The Titans!" Robin played his guitar first then Beast boy. Cyborg drummed the hardest, Kori felt nervous to look at some people looking back at her. Then she felt nauseous. Raven looked at her and gave a look that it was her turn. Kori tried her best to play, but it came out awful. Beast boy and Robin looked at her. Raven wanted to stop, but she was half way through the song. Kori played a little and she didn't look at the crowd, she kept her eyes down as she looked at her guitar and she played, it sounded better. Beast boy and Robin gave her a smile that she was doing pleasant. She never experienced anything like this before. The crowd cheered and screamed.
Then Raven went onto her next song and the band started playing. The audience gave the love sign and some of them head banged. Raven was done with her song and she switched places with Kori. Kori went and the audience didn't know who she was. Cyborg played his drum first then the guitarist. Kori sang and everyone listened carefully, everyone loved it and they started giving her the love sign with their hands. After she was finished, everyone cheered for her, the band walked off the stage.
"That was better than I thought," Raven said about Kori's song.
Kori was so happy to have sung and everyone loved her song. The next day the band was off in their bus. They stopped in a city where their next concert was. Before the concert Kori went off to a store. The band was already ready to play when she got back. Then they saw her new look. Her hair red with black strips all over her head.
"Cool look," Cyborg complimented. Raven, Beast boy, and Robin just stared at her hair, it was really cool.
"Thank you."
For three weeks, they had been touring almost every state. The band was happy to have Kori with them and she was certainly a fast learner. They went back to their own town and went back to the studio, wanting to make new music and songs. So for three weeks they stayed in their town, in their studio making songs. In three months they would go back to touring.
