Sorry it took so long, but the fabulous, gorgeous, witty, entertaining, all-round-better-person-than-staremerald (nyaah!)author (who does not, by the way, have an ego problem)is back!

First: Reviewers! I'm touched to think that so many like my story so much. Yay! you all rock!

april4rmH-town: Where is H- town anyway? I'm glad u think it's funny.

ZebraGirl: I made you LAUGH! Wow! sniff. I can now continue my life knowing I madea reviewer laugh. Thanx! -

rei10588: I know, the way I got the idea was because I performed in the play too, and NOT, as staremerald has deluded herself into thinking, from some idea she told ME about. As for the casting, you'll just have to wait and see.

Lysander: Great idea!

Overactive Mind: I know my characters have problems. I'm looking into shrinks for them. How did Terra get depetrified? It's a long story, one involving lobsters, can openers, a deranged, homicidal cow and a bad case of pnuemonia. I'll give you a cookie if you can figure it out!

Estell: Tank ya!

akiismarina: A cookie! Yay! what cookie? where? Must have... COOKIES! (grabs a bag of 'chips ahoy' and begins stuffing herself furiously)

Draco Blade: Oh, I am soooooooooo touched! Thank you sooooooo much! (I'm trying to break the record number of 'o's in a word: have you noticed?)

notyouraverageblond: I say! Are you suggesting I give homage to some other royal than good Queen Bess, wot wot? How dare you, sah!

staremerald: First off, your crickets rule. But I have to apologize for Mas y Menos' behaviour. They were on a sugar high. Um, and in ur review, you quoted Robin as saying "Oh, my ARMS are closed." I had a laugh over that one. And Hayden? You weren't already over him? I swear, I saw a pic of him in 'teen people' and he looked soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ugly!

thatpersonfromlondonyouknow: actually, it's staremerald who has the thing about the crickets. Welll, don't worry, you don't have to laugh out loud. spraying coffee everywhere would be acceptable though! jk, it's great to hear from you.

special raven: Don't worry, the Titans won't be forced to watch Dora the Explorer. (burns a talking dora doll. As flames cover it, it emits a final "Come on, vamanos!..."

Now, I'm sorry that I haven't updated for a while, but now, it's back, bigger, and better! You all loved the first chappie... now enjoy the second by the fabulous, gorgeous, witty, entertaining, all-round-better-person-than-staremerald author (who does not, by the way, have an ego problem)- Phishy2! Thank you all! I'm here until whenever! Or until everyone gets completely fed up with me and decides to burn me at the stake!

Kudos to Notyouraverageblond for 'Captain Obvious'.

Disclaimer: I don't own MSND or Teen Titans. I wish I did, but the pathetic truth is, I don't. Sigh, Ce' la vie... Oh, and I don't own Dora the Explorer, but I don't mind that at all.

Chapter Two: Casting!

Things had never looked worse for the Teen Titans (plus three members of Titans East and some assorted villains.). They were imprisoned by Mad Mod, there was no means of escape, and if they didn't do as he asked, they were doomed to be forced to watch 'Dora the Explorer' for ten hours straight. Truly, Moddy's cruelty knew no bounds.

The prisoners were locked in a very cramped chamber. The girls had insisted on sleeping on the opposite side of the room as the boys (well, except for Kitten, who Robin had had to dislodge from his sleeping bag at around 3 AM). Basically, all eleven teenagers (and Mas y Menos)were stuffed into a 30 foot by 30 foot room, meaning that everyone was grumpy and basically cheesed off with their surroundings.

"Well," said Robin, "this certainly isn't good."

"Well done, Captain Obvious!" said Raven.

"Yeah!" agreed Cyborg. "I HATE Dora the Explorer."

"Not me!" Kitten squealed. "Boots is so cute! Yay Dora!" She immediately began humming the 'Dora the Explorer' theme song.

"Come on, vamanos!

Everybody, let's go!

We gotta stick right to it!

I know that we can do it!

Where a-" Thankfully, she didn't get any further than that, because Beast Boy changed into a hippo and sat on her.

"Thanks, BB," said Bumblebee. "Now, let's talk this over calmly and clearly. First of all, WHAT THE HECK ARE WE GOING TO DO?"

"Well..." said Robin thoughtfully, "We could always do the play..."

"Yes, friends!" exclaimed Starfire. "This performance of a story for entertainment and enjoyment could be glorious!"

"And besides," concluded Raven, "How bad could it be?"

LATER

They were rudely awakened from a bored stupor when their cell door flew open with a crash. Blinking in the sudden light, the prisoners watched as more figures stumbled into the already cramped space. For a few moments, chaos reigned, with much tripping, stumbling, and shouting going on...

"Speedy! What're you doing here?"

"That's what I want to know."

"Whoa, it's Robin's clone again!"

"Friend Galfore! Why have you traveled to the Earth?"

"I did not mean to be coming to this planet, young princess."

"Aqualad, the doofus convention is in New York, not Jump City."

"Huh?"

"You're in the wrong place."

"All you stupid teenagers-"

"Que, senor Gizmo?"

"-and Mas y Menos are gonna pay for this!"

"El Shakespeare esta muy abburido, no?"

"Si, creo que si."

"STOP SPEAKING IN SPANISH!"

"QUE! NO HABLAS EL INGLES!"

"Pew! Johnny, you really need to take a bath."

"Rancid? He's here?"

"Hmm, let's see, how many other Johnnysdo we know?"

"SeeMore! Long time no see, eh?"

"Please, no vision jokes..."

"Cinderblock!"

"Juveniles!" The voice of Mad Mod rang out over the greetings and exclaimations of surprise. "All right, you 'orrible lot, I've given it a good deal of thought, over tea and biscuits, and I've come up with the cast list!" He started passing out pieces of bright blue paper.

Starfire and Raven shook hands. "Good fortune to you, friend Raven," whispered Starfire.

"You too. I just hope I get assigned to backstage, and not to some big role. I'm not really a good actress..." She broke off as the cast list was thrust into her hands. On it was written in red and dark blue:

For a few minutes, there was silence as the Heroes and Villains found their names on the long list.

Mammoth broke the silence. "What's dramatics again?" he said.

You could literally feel the tension building up in the room.

"I'm TITANIA!" screamed Raven. "Oh, no, I can't I get stage fright..."

"And that also means you'd have to kiss Nick Bottom, who is-"

"Aqualad!"

"WHAT! Okay, I'm definitely not being Titania!"

"Funny, I always thought Aqualad was an ass...

"Huh?"

"You've just been insulted, by the way."

"Friend Robin, what is the part of Hermia?"

"Um, I think she's the girl who is in love with Lysander."

"Oh, Robbie-poo! Guess who I am!"

"Um... "

"I'm Titania's lead fairy! And she gets to kiss Lysander, which you are, right!"

"Right, FRIEND Kitten! Over my glorkpo'hd, dead, unmoving body you're right!"

"Who are Pasty, Biscuit, Crumpet and Pudding?"

"They're my nieces," replied Mad Mod. "The author couldn't think of any actual characters to fit the part, so she invented them instead! Lovely names, aren't they?

"But all complimenting the author's inventive qualities aside, let's move on," he said, "to our next point, which is the scripts. I'll be bringing them to our next little meeting. Cheerio!" So saying, he slammed the cell door behind him, leaving the unlikely band of actors in the dark.

Dun, dun, dun! You know the drill- read 'n review!

Toodlyoodles!
