OK, my computer was still not working during this time, so I wrote this. No messages to announce, but I have a new comic! Hawkeye, what shall we call this one? The Dreaded School Supplies? Woof!
Oh, wait…I lied…one quick message! To all you guys at school, the chapters will probably get a little more boring, but please no more criticisms unless it's something that totally ruins the story or I'm blocking you! Actually, I won't do that because all the NICE people are the ones that have usernames (with the exception of Yunie and…does Fluffy read this at all?). KK, that's it! Sorry other people who don't like reading this crap.
The comic shall commence!
Actually, before I start, you should all know that neither of us could find paper to start the comic page…OK OK I'm REALLY starting now! That was just a necessary piece of info or you won't get it:
Kirby: Nevermind, found paper!
Fuzzle: Nyago, Kirby found paper!
Nyago: upside down rummaging through box What? I can't hear you. I'm looking for paper!
Pichu: wearing army hat (whatever their called) GO, MY FAIRY ARMY! RESCUE NYAGO!
"Fairy Army" rushes in, consisting of Tatl (carrying small rifle), Tael, and Navi (wearing same type of hat as Pichu, only much smaller)
All fairies: Um…
Nyago: now right side up with box on head We're under attack! Beware, I have rummages through box PENCILS!
Tael: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! falls over in faint
Navi: speaking into walkie-talkie REPORT! ONE MAN IS DOWN! REPEAT: ONE MAN IS DOWN!
Tatl: aims rifle I'll hold them off! fires at Kirby (ammo is push pins)
Kirby: OW! Not me, you fools!
Nyago: rummages more through box Beware the wrath of…pulls out calculator MATH!
Navi: NOOOOOOOOOOO! falls over in faint
Tatl: NO! Navi! That's it!
Battlefield appears and Tatl on one end with her rifle and a badly made cannon (by Pichu, of course) THIS MEANS WAR! Ch-chink!
In case you didn't get it, that "ch-chink" was Tatl's rifle. OK, a couple reviews:
"Sango": Anna, I'm gonna kill you…
Sango the lecher slayer: Lani, I have 4 words to say to you…I'M WORKING ON IT! SHEESH! Make that 5…
Anyway, I'm sorry that my internet is down everyone! It's all my fault! NO, the computer…IT MUST DIE! Punches computer FZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…
Titans Tower was silent…quite a rare thing when at least two titans were in. All that could be heard was a steady click click.
Cyborg sat in front of his computer, doing a Google search on insane asylums in Jump City. He sighed in frustration as he closed the 100th popup since he'd been on the site (A/N: Anyone seen Scary Movie 3?). He couldn't find anything! He looked at his computer clock. 10:30 AM. He'd been searching for a freakin' hour!
"Where are they, anyways!" he thought angrily. He felt a little intimidated by the silent tower. "Well, I guess Red X is a tough opponent…"
He sat staring at the screen for a while longer. Then a noise from downstairs took him by surprise. He listened. He heard another noise.
"Probably just the wind," he said to calm himself. He sat down again.Without warning, there was a crash downstairs. Cyborg jumped so high off his seat that he cracked it when he came back down.
"Damn, I knew I shouldn't have used BB's chair," he thought through his panic. He grabbed the closest thing at hand and walked towards the door. As soon as it opened, he raised his makeshift weapon over his head and prepared to strike. When he saw no one, he preceded to go towards the direction of the crash (swiping at every corner he turned).
Finally, he opened the door to the basement. It was dark and he couldn't see anything, so he turned on his shoulder-light and walked down the stairs. No sooner had his foot touched the floor than the door shut and he was surrounded by darkness. He heard rustling in the corner and walked towards it, holding his weapon over his head. He saw a shadow move in the dark and from the angle it looked a lot like…
"IT'S SAMARA!" Cyborg panicked and swung at the shadow. His weapon struck a solid object and it fell. Just then, the light came on to reveal three titans standing in various places of the basement. They all stared at him, then to the person on the floor. Starfire gasped.
"Raven, are you OK!" Beast Boy yelled and ran over. Raven slowly got up off the floor and rubbed the back of her head.
"Yeah…" she mumbled. She looked around. "What hit me?"
Cyborg just stood there, dumbstruck. "I—uh, that is, um…"
Beast Boy explained. "Cyborg came in and—" he looked up at the half-robot. "Um, why are you carrying a lamp…?"
"OH! This…er…" Cyborg tried to explain through his embarrassment.
Raven was now staring at him. "You hit me with a lamp?" she said simply.
"Uh…yeah," he replied.
"Cyborg, why did you hit Raven?" Starfire asked, still frightened.
"I thought she was Samara," Cyborg said sheepishly.
"Sure…" Raven said sarcastically.
"Are you sure you are all right?" Starfire had now flown over and was inspecting Raven's head.
"Star, I'm fine," she replied, glaring at her.
"Oh! I am sorry."
"Cyborg, you seem a little…shook up," Robin commented. He stood at the far wall, by the light switch. Apparently, he was the one who had turned it on.
"Yeah. I heard a crash down here and I got a little freaked out," Cyborg told them.
Beast Boy grinned as Raven said, "That was the genius who tripped over a box of video games. I told you two that we have too many of those things." Everyone laughed.
Back in the living room, Robin was sitting on the couch with a phone book in his lap. Everyone else crowded around him, Starfire sitting next to him on his right, Cyborg to his left, Beast Boy and Raven leaning over the backside.
"So, lemme get this straight," Cyborg said. "You guys came back from fighting, not even coming up to see me—"
"We didn't want to disturb you," Robin added.
"—went straight to the basement to get the phone book—"
"Why don't we keep it in the kitchen?" Raven asked. Everyone except Cyborg shrugged.
"—couldn't find the light switch, Beast Boy tripped and caused the crash—"
"Hey, that was painful!" Beast Boy interrupted angrily.
"—I freaked out and came down there, thought Raven was Samara and hit her over the head with the lamp—"
"And it still hurts…" Raven grumbled, rubbing the back of her head again. Starfire was about to get up and check to see if she was OK again, but a death glare from Raven sat her back down.
"—sorry, Raven…and then here we are, with me retelling the story." Cyborg finally finished.
"Yes! Robin said that he had an idea to find an ass-ylum of insanity," Starfire said. Robin glared at everyone angrily.
"OK, who's the smart-alec who's been teaching Star swearing!" he shouted. Beast Boy blanched and sank behind the couch. Raven took this opportunity to kick him in the shin. A muffled "OW!" could be heard behind the couch.
Raven turned to Robin. "It's been taken care of," she said, meeting his angry stare. Robin backed down. If looks could kill, all the titans would be dead and buried 36 feet under, courtesy of Raven.
"So, we brought up this phone book 'cause we figured it's gotta have an insane asylum in it," Robin said.
"Great! We should start looking!" Cyborg said.
For ten minutes, Raven, who was the fastest reader among them, scanned the pages of the phone book until she found what she was looking for.
"Here it is…but it's not in Jump City," she said, looking at the address, "it's in Tech City, which isn't far from here."
"How are we gonna get there?" Beast Boy asked. Everyone looked at Cyborg, who had a gleam in his eyes as he said, "I'll get the T-Car!" With that, he ran off to the garage.
"Great. You just had to say something," Robin said.
"Well, he would've probably suggested it anyway," Beast Boy said, defending himself.
"I hate it when you're right…"
"And it's usually a bad thing when he's right," Raven added.
"Aw, c'mon! I'm not that stupid, am I?" Beast Boy asked. Raven gave him a skeptical look.
"Don't even get me started…"
"C'MON, LET'S GO ALREADY!" Cyborg yelled impatiently from the door.j
(A/N: I don't know this girl's name, but she's the friend of the girl who died in the closet) She walked behind her curtain to the waiting room. Why she was there, she didn't know. All she'd been told was that a group called the "Teen Titans" were here to see her. The nurse walked her to the door and opened it, revealing the five oddly dressed teenagers, waiting anxiously for her.
The titans watched the semi-transparent curtain and the shadow behind it. It moved with her to the table where they sat, and it was pulled away, revealing the traumatized girl staring blankly at them.
Starfire took one look at her…and fainted, falling off of her seat.
"Starfire? Are you OK?" Robin asked, picking her up.
"Uh, dude, I think she fainted," Beast Boy commented. Robin shot him an "I know that!" look.
"This is too stressful for her…I should take her out of here," Robin said, carrying her out of the building, leaving just three titans.
"So, you were in the movie?" Beast Boy asked the girl.
"…"
"But, you were just an actress…that movie couldn't have been real, so why are you in this place?" Cyborg asked.
"…That…was real…" she said quietly.
"What?"
"I really saw her…I saw…"
"You saw who?"
"The closet…"
"The closet?"
"The picture…the TV…"
"What picture? What TV?"
The girl's expression suddenly changed to a serious one as she looked at them through her hollow eyes. "She will come for you…five more days!" she stood up and slowly walked out of the room, ignoring the nurse's commands.
"I dunno what her problem is, but she probably saw the movie and got traumatized by that…" Beast Boy dismissed the matter.
"Didn't you get what she was talking about?" Raven asked.
"What?"
"She was talking about the closet! Weren't you listening!"
Beast Boy was taken aback by this behavior. "No…why are you getting all worked up, are you PMSing or something?"
"You idiot!"
Beast Boy rubbed the bump on his head as Raven stomped out. The pieces of a shattered overhead lightbulb were scattered on the floor.
"Man, that was a huge mistake," Cyborg said to him, shaking his head.
In the car on their way home, Raven had somehow managed to get in the front seat so as not to have to look at Beast Boy (actually, Cyborg just knew how mad she was and didn't argue about the seating arrangements for fear of his life). Starfire was now awake and was looking back and forth between Raven and the changeling, clueless to the whole incident.
"Please, what has happened?" she asked timidly. "Raven, why will you not talk to Beast Boy?" No response.
"Star, I think you should just leave her alone…" Robin whispered just loud enough for her to hear.
"Oh…but why?"
"Cyborg said Beast Boy said something that made her mad…We'll ask him back at the tower."
At 1:37 PM, the T-Car pulled into the garage of Titans Tower. Cyborg didn't even bother announcing that they were home because, as soon as the car slowed down enough, Raven was out of the car and walking up the stairs.
"Wow, Beast Boy, you must have said something pretty bad to get her this worked up," Robin said.
"Shut up."
"What exactly did you—"
"I said SHUT UP!" And soon Beast Boy was also going up the stairs.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOK…" Robin said. "I think it's safe to say we'll be spending the afternoon without those two."
"But…why?" Starfire was clearly upset that her friends were so mad with one another. Cyborg told them what had happened.
"We got some interesting information, but BB really screwed it up for us," he finished.
"I see…" Robin said thoughtfully. "Maybe Beast Boy was right. The girl could have been traumatized by seeing the movie and she just looks like the actress…"
"I have a feeling that she is not lying."
Robin and Cyborg both turned to stare at Starfire.
"But, Star, you…you weren't even there," Robin said.
"I know, but…I sense something about her that is very frightening," Starfire said.
I am SO getting worse at cliffies…oh well! I decided to stop there because, well, I just feel like it! And I probably will be getting these up faster now because my mom has offered to lend me a spare CD to burn this story on and take it to school or something and post it! Oh, and, again…
CHECK MY BIO FOR INFORMATION ABOUT WHY I DON'T POST CHAPTERS IF I HAVEN'T UPDATED FOR A WEEK! THANK YOU!
So, we clear on that now? …Good! And, I have still more projects that my teachers are shoving down my throat, so I have a good excuse! No more getting mad! OK, maybe a little but not like a certain SOMEONE I know coughSangoTLScough. Anyway, keep checking back for more!
