Chapter 3

The Titans still had some matters to discuss. Maybe they could get Aria back into the TV tonight. The Titans had been inside the television before. They could probably do it again.

"We have been inside of the television before. We'll use Control Freak's remote!" suggested Starfire.

"I don't know if that will work. I'm not a show you watch on TV. I'm from another dimension. It's not the same. If you do that I'll just be inside your TV, not back home." The Titans nodded. They all sat there thinking and scratching their heads for new ideas.

"I have an idea!" yelled Beast Boy. Cyborg butted in, "If it has to do with training chimps and dimension transporting hamsters, we don't want to hear it."

"Never mind," replied Beast Boy, "Wait, can't Raven transport people to other dimensions?"

"I have to be able to see which dimension I'm transporting them to. We have no idea what dimension she's from. For all we know, it could be more complex then just getting her back to a different dimension. This may have to do with certain stars and planets being aligned. We don't have enough information right now to get her back." Raven was right. This was a very weird situation. What had caused for Aria to be enveloped into a cartoon?

"Alright," Robin stated, "Here's what we need to do. We need to find out what exactly transported Aria here. We also need to see if there's a way to communicate with the dimension she's from. We'll focus on these things now and take this one step at a time. I'm going to go run some tests on Mad Mod's cane and see if it does what Aria said it does." Robin walked off and went to his lab. The rest of the Titans and Aria stayed upstairs in the living room.

"So, since you're staying with us for a while, let's see how good you are at video games!" challenged Cyborg.

"Alright, but I must warn you, me and my little brother had tournaments back home." Aria picked up the controller and got ready. Cyborg put in a fighting game. Cyborg and Aria fought for a long time. Just when you thought Cyborg would lose, Aria would make a come back. In the end, Cyborg won by just an inch.

"You're pretty good, but not good enough!" gloated Cyborg.

"Good game, good game!" Aria said, admitting defeat. Just then, Robin came walking in. He was done with all his experiments on the cane.

"Looks like you were right. The cane does make make you older. My guess is that Mad Mod was going to use the cane to steal our youth. You know what they always say, 'youth is wasted on the young.' Hey, while your hear, Aria, maybe you can help us. You watch the show and probably know some things we don't. Some of the information you know will be valuable. So, will you help us?" asked Robin.

"Of course! Its kind of payback for all that you guys are doing for me. I really appreciate it." Aria responded.

"Stuart! Aria! We're home!" Stuart and Aria's parents said as they searched for their kids. It was about 10:30. They had just gotten back from a nice dinner and were in good spirits. "Stuart? Aria? Where are you guys?" They went into the playroom to try and find their kids. They were shocked at what they saw. There was furniture flipped over, a counter was broken, papers and things lay everywhere. It looked like a tornado had ripped through. Sitting in the middle of it all was Stuart. He was glued to the TV. Tears were streaking down the little boys face.

"Stuart! What happened? Where's Aria?" his parents questioned him. They were worried and scarred. Stuart looked up at his mom, who held him in an embrace, and pointed to the TV.
