Special Note for Django X: Happy Birthday! Bob and I have cobbled together enough internet 'virtual' credits to get you your very own 'Virtual Beastboy Cuddle Doll'. When ever you have a bad day you can cuddle with the imaginary green doll and think happy, drooly, thoughts. And as a special bonus he comes with a 'Virtual MI: Mode Raven Doll'. It is not recommended that you try to cuddle with the Raven doll, though you can have the BB doll cuddle with Raven doll, this has been lab tested to be safe. Enjoy. (And if anyone wants to do something nice for Django on this special day then please go read her stories and review.)

Tenshi: Dang it, I just burned my finger!
Bob: On what?
Tenshi: Dinner.
Bob: looks at clock. Uh, you do realize that its 1am right?
Tenshi: And your point is what?
Bob: Normal people eat dinner at like 6.
Tenshi: Aw – but I don't want to wait five more hours!
Bob: I meant 6pm! Why are you being so stupid today?
Tenshi: Hehehe, I did research.
Bob: Research made you stupid?
Tenshi: This kind did, just read and find out…. Four hours of this show… twitch.
Bob: Let's just – uh – do the reviews…
Tenshi: smirk. 'I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!'
Bob: Do I want to know?
Tenshi: No, you really don't. Reviews are at the bottom again! Dang rabid reviewers… so many! Makes me a bit nervous, having to live up to expectations…

When the Titans saw their next surroundings they were puzzled. Surely there wasn't a show that looked like this. The 'world' looked as though a five year old had drawn it. The lines that made up the world would actually 'squiggle' from time to time, as though who ever was drawing it couldn't stay within them.
Everyone looked around confused. None of them recognized this place.
Cyborg scratched his head, "Must be a low budget channel or something… who would watch a show that looks this bad?"(1)
Just then a strange looking kid walked up to them. He appeared to be a kid anyways… his body was small but his face, well, it looked like a middle-aged mans. He smiled up at them rubbing his hands together.
"Hey, you guys must be new to the 'hood. I'm Eddy, and I rule the cul-de-sac here."
Robin merely nodded slowly thinking to himself that if this kid 'ruled' then he would hate to see the ones under him.
The kid was obviously oblivious, er – right, to the looks he was getting and just continued. "You're in luck today my strange looking friends. You see me and my friends, that those two guys over there," He pointed down an alley where, indeed, there were two more kids, a skinny one with a skull cap and another who was tall and stupid. How did they know he was stupid? He was currently in the process of trying to knock a hole in a fence with his head.
"Hehe, don't mind Ed, as I was saying, me and my friends are opening a fun-tastic amusement park and you get to be the first ones in! It's only a quarter per person for admittance, just step this way." He then held out his hand as though waiting for them to pay up, a big stupid grin plastered on his crudely drawn, strangely over-aged face.
Cyborg looked over the 'park' and was shocked at the site. It wasn't the bathtub Ferris Wheel or the cardboard Merry-go-Round that got him, kids made stuff like that all the time. What got him was the fact that all of these things were actually working. There was no way in any laws of physics that such things were possible.
Control Freak leaned over, seeing the stupefied expression on the metal Titans face, "It's a cartoon remember… anything is possible."(2)
Raven was about to prove this true. She had been watching the disgusting kid holding out his grimy hand waiting for payment with interest. Digging into her pocket she pulled out a pencil.
We will now take a minute to explain a few things about Raven's cape and its pockets. You may have noticed that Raven can just about produce anything out of her pockets… this is because she is always prepared. After reading Harry Potter 4, she took Mad-Eye Moody's advice to heart and installed several pockets in her cape. Now she was always prepared for anything… 'Constant Vigilance!'
So far she had in her pockets the following items: Lighter, Pencil, Pen (for when a pencil just won't cut it), Duct Tape, Some Paper, Chop Sticks, A Snickers, Baby Wipes, One Rubber Chicken and a Copy of Bambi (we personally never, ever want to find out why she has a copy of Bambi).
Now that that is cleared up, back to the story.
Raven had taken out the pencil and approached the still expectant boy. He saw her coming and raised an eyebrow, "Uh, I don't need a pencil, it's a quarte-"
He was cut off by Raven grabbing him and putting her hand over his mouth, "Shhh… don't struggle, this shouldn't hurt… much."
Beastboy was looking at her funny, "Ra-Raven? What are you going to do with that pencil?"
She simply smiled at him, and it wasn't a nice one either, "Just want to test a theory, think of it as an experiment…"
With that she proceeded to take the pencil and rub it over the captured boy's mouth. He was fighting her but she wasn't a Titan for nothing. After about a minute Raven got up looking triumphant, "Just as I thought…"
The others could only stare at the poor, crudely drawn, strangely over-aged boy who was staring back at them wide eyed.
It was Control Freak this time that decided they needed to leave… Raven still had that pencil after all. He waited for the others as they herded Raven back in, she had been about to try more 'experiments' on the kid, and then proceeded to press buttons on the remote.
As they faded away the kid was still staring at them in shock. He wanted to say wait, he wanted to ask for some quarters, he wanted to question how they had disappeared and he wanted to plead for that pencil… But nothing would come out of his mouth. That was probably because Raven had erased it with the pencil's eraser.

This time when the world became clear they noticed they were inside a dinning room. They weren't alone – there was a group of five people and a dog. Said people never notice them. That was probably due to the toddler that was standing on the table distracting them.
Said toddler was saying something in a very gay sounding, British accented, voice. "… then the fat guy had a heart attack so I was kind enough to call the 'hambulance'." Apparently not noticing the eleven blank stares he was getting the child proceeded to laugh hysterically. "Haha – get it – hambulance… that's because it's normally 'ambulance'… but he was fat… like a pig… so its hambulance – like ham, as in pig… cause he was fat… oh, that was rich."(3)
He laughed until he finally started to taper off… "Hahaha…haha…ha…ha." Everyone at the table just stared at the kid, still not noticing the others. They stared, and stared, and stared some more. No one moved during this abnormally and completely uncalled for 'pause'… not even the dog.
Robin looked over at Control Freak who was holding the remote. "Did you hit pause?"
Control Freak looked down at the remote, "No?"
Cyborg decided to put in his two cents, "You must have, they aren't moving… See? It's…unnatural."
Beastboy just nodded, "Yeah, creepy even, and not in a good 'Raven Creepy' way either." He ignored the looks he got from the others.
Star was the only one left watching Raven as she approached the still frozen family. Since her friend hadn't taken anything out of her cape yet Star figured it was alright if Raven got close to them.
The boys were still fighting over what to do, it went something like this:
"Just hit play - that should return this place to normal."
"I did hit play, nothing happened."
"Here, let me see it… hmm... maybe the batteries died?"
"That would be a bad thing! That means we could be stuck here!"
"Here, let me try something…"
"ACK! What did you do! I look like Beastboy!"
"Oh, sorry – that was the tint contrast button… guess the batteries work."
"Well fix me then! I don't look good in green!"
Raven meanwhile had reached the assembled 'family'. She knew they weren't really frozen. Even though they were cartoon characters they were still 'real' in this world and there for had emotions which Raven could pick up. No, they weren't paused, more like stupid. It was almost like they had shut off and forgot how to turn themselves back on.
Shrugging Raven deciding to see how far this 'pause' went. She poked the freakishly huge older male with her finger. He teetered to the left, and then tottered back to the right… this rocking motion continued for a few minutes in fact. Watching him sway back and forth Raven decided to see if the others came with 'Rocking Action'™ as well.
Going around the table she proceeded to poke each member, with the exception of the toddler who was still standing on the table, and set them in motion. They all did the prolonged sway except for the older woman. Apparently her butt was to boney.
Star was watching the swaying family and started to get a funny feeling. It wasn't a bad feeling, more soothing in fact. Her eyes started to get heavy as she watched them go right, then left, right, then left…
The boys turned around when they heard a loud thud. Robin looked at the alien girl sprawled out on the kitchen floor, fast asleep. "What the…"
TBC… (Special Note: The Family Guy 'joke' came from our lovely reviewer: Isa Lumitus. All praise the greatness… see, we do use your ideas… if we can fit them in.)
(1) Gah! Teen Titans is off the air but shows like Ed, Edd and Eddy get to stay! What kind of world do we live in?
(2) Possible… hmm… Kim Possible! – Darn it… stupid word play… now I want to have them go to the KP world! Must stop the madness!
(3) If anyone has watched this show then they should know that this 'beating of a dead horse' is exactly what they do… all the time… as in repeatedly… cause they thinks its funny… but its actually kinda old… and annoying… but repea- (Bob: smack Tenshi: Thanks Bob, got a bit lost there Bob: np, that FG crap will rot your brain.)

(OMG – I was going to work in DPhantom and SpongeBob, but this chapter wrote itself, I started typing and then checked how long it was and was shocked, yes, shocked when I saw almost five pages… So I guess the adventures in animated TVland will continue for another chapter… that is all.)
Tenshi: Hey Bob, someone wants me to fire you! At last – I am not alone!
Bob: glares. You can't fire a muse! I live in your head.
Tenshi: Hm, good point. tries to look inside head, crosses eyes instead. Brain… you're fired!
Bob: Your eyes are going to get stuck like that.
Tenshi: Aw Bob, are you mad?
Bob: No.
Tenshi: Hehe… someone got under your skin…
Bob: Other people still like me!
Tenshi: Only rabid spiders know why though. Hey, you can't get away with that… you're trying to distract me! Do the disclaimers!
Bob: groan. Fine, Tenshi does not own 'Ed, Edd and Eddy' or 'Family Guy'… or 'Harry Potter'. Happy?
Tenshi: nods. Yep. Wait – no I'm not – I want to own Harry Potter! Darn you JKR! Darn you!
Django X – First off – HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry to hear about your 'review problem'. Trust me, I know the feeling… most of my stories cap out at 8-10… this one has surprised the – the stuffing, yeah, stuffing – out of me. Yeah, Sailor Moon is old school but it's still great, well, at least to me. It's the first anime I ever saw so it holds a place in my heart. I told Bob what you said, he cried… I kinda feel bad for him. Lol. That's ok though, his memory span is only like ten minutes, he will forget it in a few. DoReMi is on about an hour before Winx, well, at least for me… it's a very- er – interesting show… I think the target audience is like 5-9 year olds… my niece is 8 and she loves it. I agree with you on the Winx club, and people thought Britney Spears was a bad influence on young girls. Yeah, the profanity on South Park is pretty excessive – but I like the fact that the show pushes boundaries… its nice to watch something that isn't 'conforming' – though the language is pretty bad – I had trouble writing that part of it because I wanted to get the 'feel' for it but I didn't want to have to rate that chapter 'm'. Thanks again and I hope you have a great B-day!
Isa Lumitus – Well? Are you happy? I took your idea and it turned into a monster! A monster I say! But I had fun doing it. lol. So thanks. And of course I update fast… its always two day's lol. Though the time during the day varies… but since I didn't like chapter 9 all that much I decided to give out chapter 10 on the same day… kinda like a bribe to read chapter 9 lol. Thanks again.
Shadow in the Rain – Aw, thanks. Glad you liked… cause I didn't like chapter 9 at all lol. But I have said it before, I get these ideas and I think, hey that would be funny, then I go and type it all up and its not funny, well to me anyways… I guess because I wrote it, and I'm a very critical person on my own stuff… eh. So we like it when people tell us it's ok. Thanks again matey (must see new POTC movie! In a pirate mood.)
Nightwing38 – But it's so fun when the meds do the talking lol. Bob loves you right now… he got bashed by a reviewer and it hurt his feelings… he wants to marry you apparently – he keeps going on and on about buying a ring… eh – just say no. Works for drugs, and Bob. We hope you feel better – being sick sucks… and blows, and coughs and sneezes and – um – sorry… thanks again, reviewing and reading even when your obviously delirious due to the cold – you must be cause you like our story lol.
Calamol – Ahhh – BUUUURRNNN… I have a confession – I like fire. But I swear I don't know what happened to that house that burned down last week… Glad you liked. We try not to get to random… we like funnies that are actually 'believable' but occasionally we throw it in – as long as it all works out in the end. Thanks again.
cailinXaiden – You worship the story? You shouldn't have told it that… it is now demanding homage in the form of pineapple pizza. Yeah, Sailor Moon is great… I just wish they would have brought the last season over to the US… censors – blah – what do they know. Thanks for the support :) we'll see if we can work in some more SM references just for you.
dark girl – Well, this should answer your question. Since this is apparently going to go on another chapter you can always input an idea for a show if there is one you would like to see us destroy-er-feature, we meant feature. Thanks for the continuing support.
Chantily Lace – Yeah, we loves Danny Phantom too – and I was going to do it in this chapter but it will have to wait for the next one. Can you believe they are not making any more episodes of it? First TT and now DP! So not fair – all the good shows. Sigh. I don't get the channel for SP either, but my neighbors do, so sometimes I get to see it… and I have the movie giggles. Thanks for the support, we greatly appreciate it.
Elizabeth – Wow, I too have tried homicide on my sis… though I used mace and a door… oh how she cried… lol but in all fairness she was trying to use a knife – my sister is older, and not very nice. I have a younger brother and his is a little (beep) too. Lol – I'm boxed in on all fronts! It's not fair! Glad you like insane – 'cause I refuse to take meds! Stupid doctors… eh, what do they know? Yep, the cape will burn! Soon… Thanks!
XxHunter the One and OnlyxX – hehe, you sound like a pyro… which is all good, as long as you stay away from my home lol. Only two people here have ever heard of Esca! They don't know what they are missing. Glad you enjoy insanity land – 'cause we're going to be there for another chapter! Lol. Thanks.
sexy dancer – one question – are you? A sexy dancer that is? Right – off topic lol. Glad you like and thanks for the review. We loves reviews…
Overactive Mind – As for the order I was just thinking… what shows to use? And then I came up with those two… and I started writing in DoReMi and was like, wait, haven't watched enough… though Raven interacting with the 'green blob' would have been funny now that I think about it… but I wanted to see Raven run around yelling 'I'm a pretty sparkle fairy' so I had to go with winx… yep, this CF thing is getting pretty crazy… I was like, one chapter, then I was like – ok, one isn't going to happen, two then – now it's going on three! Hopefully I will get them out soon…
random zinthos – cool? Thanks :)
prince vincent black – Hmm… the fact that you zeroed in on that section makes me want to put in the disclaimer 'don't try this at home'. Lol. Thanks for the review, glad your enjoying Ravens revenge.
Dark-Anime-Gurl – yes, I admit, fox kids was the only thing that popped in my head at the beginning of that chapter, but this one branched out… and so will the next one. Glad you liked the Sailor Moon ref. and yes, Kenny had to die… you can't have South Park with out a dead Kenny in there somewhere. Thanks for reviewing and since a few of you seemed to like the SM reference I might have to work some more in lol.
World of Nightmares – OMG – I had the same idea… kinda. I was like, hmm… should I put the TT in the TT cartoon world? Wouldn't that be funny? Maybe I will, right before they get kicked out of the 'tvland'. Lol, see, someone else has a messed up mind like me. Yay. Thanks for the reviews, on both chapts too. Most people only do the latest one lol. Hope this wait didn't kill you too much – we like your reviews to much… so hyper and soooo many CAPS! Lol. Thanks again.
