Titans: The Musical
By Star's Fire, with the help of his so very cute and so very special little sister, Jessica.
Summary: Once upon a time in Titans Tower, everyone was doing their own thing, but then, out of nowhere, a mysterious music starts to play. What will the Titans do about it? Sing, of course! But what will Simon have to say about it?
Disclaimer: I don't own the Teen Titans, any of the original versions of the songs, OR Simon. … You happy now?
AN: Eh, I decided to put up this chapter early, instead of waiting a week like I originally planned. :-) But, just so ya know, the next chapter will take a lot longer to get posted, simply because it's gonna be really long! 0.o
RA:
-Napolean Dynamite clone: Awww, man, I'm really sorry about that. Come meet me at the end of this story, and we might be able to work sumtin out. ;-) …No, seriously, you'll be my first customer when I'm finished with this story… you'll see. :-D
-Raefire: …Why thank you. –cheesy grin- :-P
-daydreamr'girl: Ya see, it's reviews like these that make me get the next chapter up as quick as possible! Congrats to you, you've earned a gold star. :-D
Note: I am happy with how this chapter came out, but I think it's safe to say that it's not really one of my best. I dunno, you guys be the judges. :-)
Chapter Four: Raven, Meant to Live
"How long has it been now?"
Paula checked her watch. "Going on 15 minutes. How much longer do you think they'll be?"
"Noooo clue." Raven rolled her eyes. She, along with Paula, Starfire, and Robin, were waiting on the remaining members of the Tower, mainly, the guys, to come back to the living room. They had all (with the exception of Robin) run to the bathroom to get… washed up, and were taking their precious time doing it.
"Please friend Raven and stranger Paula, why do our friends take such a long time in the restroom?" Starfire asked. Paula and Raven looked sideways at each other for a quick second before answering.
"Because…" Paula started.
"…they need to rest." Raven finished for her.
"…Oh," was all Starfire said. Sensing that each of them weren't in much of a talking mood, she wandered over to Robin to see if he was any better.
Unfortunately, he was worse.
Robin sat in the middle of the stage, hugging his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth slightly. It looked to Starfire as if he were starring off into space, although she couldn't see where his eyes were starring at, with a very small smile on his face.
"Friend Robin?" Starfire called to him gently. No matter how gentle it was though, Robin still managed to jump up three feet into the air and onto his feet.
"Y-yeah?" he stammered as his voice cracked. Starfire just looked at him with her innocent stare, not knowing what was wrong.
"…I was just wanting to see if you were okay." She asked.
Robin cleared his throat. "I'm…" his voice cracked again. He cleared his throat another time. "I'm fine, Star." He gave Starfire a small but visible smile to prove it, earning a huge grin from her in return, causing him to blush.
After this exchange, Robin looked around and saw that a very dim and less-bright Cyborg was making his way back into the living room, followed by Beast Boy, who looked as if he just woke up from a very good nap. Randy and Simon weren't too far behind, who were arm in arm and singing (very badly, mind you. -coughcough judges my ass! coughcough-) to an old western song by the sound of it.
"Finally!" A sudden, squeaky voice yelled out of nowhere once everyone was back. "I thought you guys would never get back! But now that you are, on with the show!"
"Hold it!" Robin yelled, springing to his feet and into a battle stance. "Where are you? Are you the one causing all this? Show yourself!"
The weird, squeaky voice cackled. "In due time, Titans! In due time!"
The sound of a computer working, another laugh from the weird voice, and another beat started to play.
"Great…" Robin mumbled. The hypnotized Beast Boy and Starfire (Robin's heart beat started to speed up) wandered onto stage. Raven went next, and stood right in the middle. Everything was still for a second, but then electric guitars appeared in mid air and fell into the hands of the performers. A few strums later, and the song began.
Raven, Meant to Live
(Real Song: Meant to Live, By Switchfoot)
-Guitar playing intro-
Raven:
Pondering the prophecy
And wondering why he would have passed me by…
Hoping that he's gone for good so I can have
My free attempts to fly… fly…
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
The Earth will not be his
The Earth will not be his
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
The Earth will not be his
-Guitar playing-
Dreaming about Providence
And if I'm worthy of my second tries…
Maybe I was livin' with my eyes half open
Maybe I was bent and broken… broken…
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
The Earth will not be his
The Earth will not be his
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
The Earth will not be his
-Guitar playing-
I've got all that this world's got to offer…
I've got all that this world's got to offer…
I've got all that I want from my father…
And everything he has is nothing that I want, yeeeeaaaaah!
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
I was meant to live for so much more
What was he thinking?
I was meant to live…
I was meant to live…
-Guitar playing, fade out-
Once the beat faded, Raven looked up and blinked. That was actually… kind of… fun …!
Robin slowly stood up. He seemed to have forgotten about questioning the random voice from before, because he suddenly smiled and started clapping. After a moment, the rest of the Titans and the judges also started to applaud and yell out to Raven.
"Dude! Who knew our Raven here could sing! Way to go!"
"Boo-ya!"
"Very marvelous!
"Not in the least pathetic! Scary maybe but…"
"…WHERE'S MY ROOT BEER?"
Everyone suddenly stopped clapping and looked at Randy, who was throwing a fit. "Where'd it go? I left it right here! WHO TOOK IT?"
"BuuuUUUUuuuUUUUuuuUUUURRRrrrRRRPP!" The weird voice was back.
"Oops! Sorry bout that, Randy! But hey, no worries! Here, have this Vodka I found! It was in the Titans fridge!" A panel disappeared from the ceiling in the living room, and a crate of Vodka dropped down onto the floor. Randy dove for it.
"…DUDE!" Beast Boy yelled.
AN: Lol. So, yeah. Only one more chapter! One more song! …Or is it? Are you ready for the exciting conclusion? MUHAHAHAHA! … … -cough-
