Hey, People! How come I didn't see many reviews in my previous chapters? As you've noticed, I changed the title to Another Terra? So anyway, to those who reviewed, thank you. This chapter is actually more happy times. So enjoy! And please review! Flames not accepted.
Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat, not own Teen Titans or the two songs
Raven knocked on Misty's door. "Misty, can I come in?" "Sure." came Misty's voice. The door slid open. Misty was on the floor carpet reading a really thick book. Misty looked up and closed the book. She sat up. "Hey, Raven. Did you want something?" "Yeah, I just wanted to talk. It's real boring outside with those idiots squawking." Raven replied.
Misty laughed. Once again, it sounded like a nightingale's song in the middle of the chiming of a thousand bells. In other words, it was really sweet. Raven sneaked a peek at the book. It said The Guarding Light in a beautiful curvy writing. It was thick so it could be clearly seen on the beautifully carved wooden background.
"What's that?" Raven asked her. Misty looked to where she was pointing. "Oh. The book? It's was a gift." "Really?" Raven inquired. "By whom?" "A friend. She made the cover and filled the pages with everything about paranormal stuff she could find." Misty told her. "Wow. She must be really talented."
"So, anyways, what did you want to talk about?"
"You."
"Me? What about me?"
"Nothing. I just want to know about you. About what you can do. Your personality. Your past. You know, just about you."
"Um…I'm not the kind of person to tell all about me, Raven. But if you really want to know what I can do, you'll find out. Raven. If you want to know these things, it takes time. A lot of time. But you'll find out soon enough."
Raven was just about to reply when Misty's cell phone rang. "Oh, Sorry I've got to take this." Misty walked out of the room but, Raven could hear her…because she was using her powers. "Report….didn't you tell him, we don't need money... Then, he's just being difficult. If he won't go for training, then he'll have to go get another job….yes Anna…I told you Anna. Not in a million years will I let him do the job without someone experienced…Thank you. Keep me updated."
Raven froze. What was that supposed to mean? Training? Experienced? No money? Misty came in again. "What was that about?" Raven asked. "Nothing." Misty replied quickly. Just as Raven was about to protest to the answer, the alarm went off.
"Titans Trouble!"

As the Titans arrived in the T-car, they spot a dark figure blasting fire onto some trees. Raven could swear she heard Misty mutter, "Gawd this'll be easy." Suddenly she looked over to Robin. "Uh, Robin, I forgot to tell you. My friends are gonna be here anytime so could they stay. In my room, of course." Robin looked at her in surprise for asking in such a situation but he nodded anyway. "Sure. But first, let's hit this guy with everything we've got. He could burn the town if he burns those trees."
"This'll be a snap. Relax. I got it." Misty assured him. Relax. I'll take this 1. He looks easy enough." Without another word, Misty trudged over to a nearby river. "Although I'll have to use my powers for this. There's no fire hydrant in sight. A river? There's a stream. It'll do."
Misty put her palms together and concentrated. Slowly, she parted them and concentrated her powers towards the water. Slowly, a stream of water rose. Misty suddenly jerked the water towards the figure. The fire stopped. Misty ran towards the figure and started fighting with martial arts. Soon enough, he was defeated. Weird thing was that he disappeared in a puff of black smoke and a yell.
Soon the fire was out and the Titans returned to the Tower. In the car, Raven had to ask a question. "Misty? How did you know how to beat the guy?" Misty looked at her. "Common sense. The guy was using fire, right?" The others nodded. "The other 4 element were capable of destroying fire so obviously, he wouldn't waste his time. With water, the fire's common enemy, it should be able to stop the fire long enough to have his butt kicked."
Cyborg, Beast Boy, Robin and Starfire stared at her with blank expressions. "Say what?" Cyborg said. "Dude, could you repeat that…slowly…?" asked Beast Boy. Misty sighed. "Nevermind." Fortunately, Raven understood. As far as Raven concerned, that was all that mattered.

"Guys, meet my friends, this is Kellie, Rose, Chelsea, and Tammy." The Titans smiled. "They'll be staying in my room, if you guys don't mind. " "No, we don't mind."
Raven eyed the girls. Kellie had layered blonde, with pink streaks hair and dark blue eyes. Rose had dark hair and matching eyes. Chelsea had red hair and green eyes that looked a lot like Starfire's. Tammy had jet black hair and deep green eyes. It was so green, it looked almost black
To Raven, they were as suspicious as Misty was.
That night, Raven snuck into Misty's room while the others were out for pizza to welcome Misty and friends properly. She looked around, her eyes scanning the room. She knew exactly what she wanted. "There it is" Raven thought to herself.
Raven picked up the book. The Guarding Light. "What does Misty have to hide, I have a feeling this will help me find out. I don't believe that story she told me." Raven said to herself. Bringing the book to her room, she scanned the pages.
"The Fall. Based on the prophecy by Oracle Tatiana. There will be a day that will come where good shall fight evil in the utmost important battle. The battle will take place and good may not come out victorious…."
As Raven read on, she became surprised at the story. She had always thought the battle against Trigon was bad. This seemed just as bad. The book was like a book she would buy. Spells, potions, prophecies, information on demons and ghouls. All the writing was written in the old English font. Curved, elegant and small.
Just then, BB's voice rang in her ear. "RAAAEEEE! We're back! We brought take out for ya'!
Raven winced in irritation. She walked out and faced Beast Boy. "Beast Boy, I have two things to say to you. One thanks. Two, never again call me Rae. Got it?" Raven growled to prove her point. "Uh, yeah, okay." Beast Boy said.

"Good morning guys!" Misty greeted brightly. "Morning…" they all greeted her as they rubbed the sleepiness from their eyes. "Misty isn't it like, six in the morning? Don't we usually wake up at like, seven?" Kellie asked her."Yes, yes Kellie. But I just couldn't wait. I've got us tickets to the show in the evening."
Robin looked up from his buttered toast. "A show? What's so special about it?" Misty looked annoyed. "What's so special about the show is that it's going to help the poor and we're going to be in it." Chelsea looked confused then she smiled. "Oh. That show." The Titans looked at her in shock. "We?" Misty looked at them and let out a laugh. "No, you guys, Kellie, Chelsea, Tammy, Rose and I."
"We're singing for some rich people who tip very generously. The tickets are also quite expensive, but I scored the last five." "So what are you guys singing?" Cyborg inquired. "We're only singing chorus for one song. Misty's singing lead and she's also singing another one." "Which is?" Raven arched an eyebrow. "You'll see," said Tammy with a shrug.
"And it's formal so please get your gowns and suits pressed." Rose reminded them. "Great. This day just gets better." Muttered Raven. "Tonight will be glorious!" exclaimed Starfire.
That night, the Titans wore their gowns and tuxes while the other girls out on their costumes. Starfire was wearing a long, pink, strapless gown that had a slit at the side and matching slippers that were wrapped with string until above her ankle... (The one she wore in date with destiny) She also wore a plain pink choker around her neck. Her straight, fiery hair hung down loosely around her shoulders.
Raven was wearing a dark blue gown with a V shaped neckline and three quarter tight sleeves. It also had slits but there were slits at both sides and they reached all the way to her thighs. The length was till the ankle. On her feet were black heels with the same model as Star's. Completing her outfit was a plain black choker around her neck that had a silver heart hanging from it.
Misty was dressed in an elegant tube topped gown that had a silver piece of string around her waist. It hung loosely and it had a shimmery tail at the side. On the same side was a slit. Slightly higher than Raven's. Around her neck was a black beaded necklace around her neck that had beads hanging from a dark red heart. She wore a pair of black high heels that had a few shimmering beads hanging from one side. And finishing it off with a black, silk, shawl around her arms. Her hair was curled into princess (defined) curls and it was let down.
The other girls were dressed as medieval peasants. While the guys were in their tuxes. Except now they weren't the Titans anymore. They were Richard Grayson, Kori Anders, Raven Roth, Garfield Logan and Victor Stone.
At the theater…
"Wow this is a lot for a charity show…" Raven commented. Misty gave the tickets to Robin. "Here, get your seats. The girls and I have to go backstage." Misty told him. He nodded and motioned the others to follow him.
A few minutes later, everyone was settled and in their seats. A loud voice boomed over the speakers. "Merry Christmas and welcome ladies and gentle men and thank you for joining us for our little performance. We hope you'll enjoy it. Tips are appreciated. Thank you. Now to start off here is the Bay City choir!" Every one applauded politely as the choir began to sing "You raise me up."
After a few performances, it was Misty's turn. "Ladies and gentlemen please welcome our talented Misty Kayed!" Everyone applauded again. Misty walked onto the stage. "First off, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Also, I thank everyone for being here tonight. As you all know, the money from this show will go to charity, so please be generous." Misty flashed her million-dollar smile to the audience as the music began. Then, in her clear sweet voice, she began to sing…
I
believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them
lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give
them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us of how it used to be
Everybody's searching for
a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone
to fulfill my needs
A lonely place to be
So I learned to depend
on me
I
decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow
if I fail, if I
succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take
from me
they can't take away my dignity
Because
the greatest love of all
is happening to me
the greatest love
of all
is easy to achieve
learning to love yourself
It is
the greatest love of all
I
believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them
lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give
them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's
laughter remind us how we use to be
I
decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadow
If I fail, If I
succeed
At least I live as I believe
No matter what they take
from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest
love of all
Is happening to me
The greatest love of all
Is
easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest
love of all
And if
by chance that special place
that you've been dreaming of
leads
you to a lonely place
find your strength in love
As the music ended, applauds were heard. This time, the applause was loud and long. More importantly, it sounded sincere. Misty beamed at the audience and returned backstage. It was after all an excellent performance. The Titans, even Raven, actually looked forward to their friends' next performance. Soon enough the performance came.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you would love this performance. An extract from the classic The Hunchback of Notre Dame, God Help the Outcasts by once again, Misty Kayed!" The theater filled with applause. As Misty stepped out in her gypsy costume. A multicolored frock with a maroon fabric hung around her waist. Touched with gold hoop earrings. This time Misty didn't say anything. The music started. It had a long music solo so Misty took the opportunity to look around the audience then, she put the mike near her lips and sang…
Misty:
I don't
know if you can hear me,
Or if you're even there
I don't know
if you would listen
To a gypsy's prayer
Yes, I know I'm just an
outcast,
I shouldn't speak to you
But, Still, I see your face
and wonder
Were you once an outcast too?
God help the
outcasts,
Hungry from birth
Show them the mercy
they don't
find on earth
God help my people
we look to you still
God
help the outcasts
or nobody will
Then Kellie and Chelsea walked in Stage Left and Rose and Tammy walked in Stage Right. One by one.
Tammy:
I ask for Wealth
Rose:
I ask for Fame
Kellie:
I ask for Glory to shine on my name
Chelsea:
I ask for love,
I can posses
Kellie, Chelsea, Rose and Tammy:
I ask for God and his Angels to Bless me
Misty:
I ask for nothing
I can get by
But I know so many
Less lucky than I
Please help my people,
The poor and down trod
Please help my people
I thought we all were
The children of God
God help the outcasts
Children of God
As the music, once again, ended, everyone applauded almost as loud and long as the first time Misty sang but just as sincere. It was the last performance of the evening so everyone left leaving tips in theirs seats for the staff to collect it. The Titans left although only Richard a big amount of money in his seat.
Then, Misty and the others joined them. They had decided to go for dinner at "Eloanna". Which was the most elegant and grand restaurant in Jump City. Misty was back in her elegant, black outfit.
Kellie and the others had changed into their gowns. Kellie had her pink and blonde hair in a high ponytail. Her straight hair was curled into sweet waves and let two locks of hair frame her face at both sides. Her hot pink, dress hung from one shoulder. The length reached until above her knees. She wore classic, pink heel shoes.
Chelsea wore a red dress that hangs from two straps at each shoulder and no slits. It reached till below her ankles, almost covering her red shoes. The red shoes were almost like Kellie's but with a tiny gem on both sides. Her red hair hung around her shoulders freely.
Tammy wore a simple and very fitting black gown and matching shoes. Her jet black hair was straightened and reached her shoulders.
Rose wore a light blue dress with a full skirt. The neck line was covering half her neck and her long, loose sleeves reached her wrists.
But all of them, Raven noticed wore a metallic pink watch…looked like it could be opened. Raven let it drop as they headed for Eloanna in the T-Car. Just then, Cyborg perked up. "Oh man, we forgot to make reservations!" BB looked at him with a confused expression. "Why?" Raven felt her heart pound, "Because, you dimwit, it's Christmas. The Eloanna is gonna be stuffed!" Raven stated through gritted teeth. A quarrel soon broke out between the Titans blaming, whining, yelling, the whole deal. A yell silenced them, "WILL YOU PEOPLE JUST SHUT UP!" This had come from Misty. "I made a reservation. Didn't you people hear me when I told you in the car? Everyone was silent. BB managed a stunned 'Oh' but that was it. After a minute of silence, Kellie stroke up a new conversation.
Well, that it for this chapter. If any of you got any ideas for the story, please share it, I'll try my best to put it in.
