Hello, all. Wow, my reviews increased 133 percent! Neat! Many thanks to Wind Lane (you're welcome) and TAS14 (I may take one of your recommendations.) Cybermuffins to both, as you'll soon see.

DISCLAIMER: I didn't, don't, and won't own Teen Titans, "Weird Al" Yankovic, any of his songs, or Taco Bell (you'll see.) Period. Deal with it.

From his position on the Jumbotron, Overactive Mind surveyed the audience, smiled, and called "OK people. If you liked that performance, you'll love this one. Next up is none other than the darkest member of the Titans, Raven!" The stage remained empty. "Er...Raven!" The stage refused to produce the half-demoness. "Dang it..."

After a brief flurry of typing, the Jumbotron sprouted a large mechanical arm, which grabbed the reticent Raven and plopped her down front stage. She was quite irritated, and the arm was quickly crushed out of recognizable shape. She growled out, "This is pointless. I refuse to participate in this frivolous spectacle glorifying some mildly insane hack."

Overactive Mind flickered off the Jumbotron and began a telepathic conference with the Goth. 'I warn you, one more crack about Weird Al and you're singing Britney Spears in a Day-Glo bikini. Understood?'

Raven mentally sighed. 'Fine. If I must.'

'What are you complaining about? The crowd loves you!' Indeed, the audience had produced a number of dark banners proclaiming admiration, love, and a number of other emotions for the dark telekinetic.

Raven smiled a little at the reaction of the crowd. 'They seem to like me more than I do.'

'They sure do. Now get out there and wow 'em!' cheered the MC, and the lyrics for Raven's song materialized before her.

'Technically, I'm already "out there," but I get the point.' she replied. Raven perused the lyric's of her song, was for a moment terrified, then noted the last line. She smiled, and gave a thumbs up to the face now replastered on the giant screen.

Grinning, Overactive Mind began his next bit of proclamation. "And now, ladies and gentlemen, Raven will perform "Since You've Been Gone." With that, the stage adjusted again. The front remained as it was, but the rear portion of the stage rose up a bit. Robin, Starfire, and Cyborg all appeared on the raised rear stage, and in front of the front row, Beast Boy was plopped down into the best seat in the house. Overactive Mind took control, and music began to play:

(A/N: Raven (Robin & Star) Cyborg All)

Since you've been gone

Well I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil

Since you've been gone

It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil

Well, I'm feeling like I stuck my hand

Inside a blender and turned it on

You know I've been in a buttload of pain Yeah

Since you've been gone

Well, since you've been gone

(Since you've been gone)

I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped

A two-ton bowling ball on my toes

(Since you've been gone)

It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved

A red hot cactus up my nose

Since you've been gone

Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day

Since you've been gone

It's like I got an ice cream headache that won't go away

Ever since the day you left me

I've been so miserable, my dear

I feel almost as bad as I did

When you were still here

Closing her eyes Raven fell silent, though Robin held the last note out a bit. As she shrugged of the typist's control and reopened her eyes, she realized she was sitting in Beast Boy's lap, and recalled that she'd been closing in on him the whole time. The shapeshifter himself had passed out from joy, and she quickly removed herself from the rather compromising position, blushing furiously. Raven was so embarrassed, a black aura quickly engulfed every stand, and all the spectators (i.e. all of Jump City)were launched into the air and landed in the lagoon (A/N: or whatever you call that body of water that separates the city and Titans Tower.) All the Titans nervously peered over the edge of the converted Tower, where millions were treading water and said, as one, "We're OK!"

Everyone, Overactive Mind included, breathed a sigh of relief The populous was promptly teleported back to their seats, dry and, for some reason, smelling faintly of melon. The typist cleared his throat and called "Now then, our next performer will be..."

Heh heh, couldn't resist a little BB/Rae in there. I felt that, given their relationship and Raven's past, that was completely appropriate. "Since You've Been Gone" is an original, but if you've any doo-wop, it's along those lines. Now press the button or face my infinite hordes! Wait, never mind. My hordes are on lunch break. Fine, review, or face my infinite hordes after they get back from Taco Bell!
