Tenshi: blink, blink.
Bob: Now what?
Tenshi: Nothing… just – awed.
Bob: Awed? At what? My greatness?
Tenshi: snickers. You wish. No, twelve chapts and no flames, well, not really… and such loyal reviewers… I'm just – well, awed.
Bob: Yeah, you've said that. So what are you going to do about it?
Tenshi: Hmm, don't know… I know that I have to start wrapping this baby up, but people seem to like it so much…
Bob: Eh, wrap it up and start something new – you do have three or four other stories ideas you could do. 'Sides, you said you were only going to do 20 chapts on this total… you're getting there.
Tenshi: Yeah, I know… heck – with the way this CF thing is going I could get to 20 just doing this. I've got to get them out of the TV! So on with the story! (REVIEW RESPONSES AT BOTTOM)

Breaking Point
by TenshiJaki

"I don't need you to remind me of my age, I have my bladder to do that for me." - Stephen Fry
---

"What the…" Robin looked from a snoring Starfire to a giggling Raven to the group of swaying people at the table. "Riiight. Control Freak, get that remote going, Cy grab Star, Beastboy get Raven, we are leaving. Now." He couldn't believe that Star had hypnotized herself - of all the things he had ever seen…

Shaking his head he joined the others in a huddle and waited as the remote did its thing. As far as he was concerned the sooner they got out of 'TV Land' the better.

---
The first thing any of them noticed when they reached their next destination was a large pineapple with a door and a few windows. The second thing they noticed was that they were underwater and couldn't breathe.

Beastboy was able to help himself by simply shifting but this didn't help the others. The only thing that kept them from panicking was years of training. Unfortunately Control Freak wasn't a Titan and therefore didn't have years of training.

Instead of staying calm the large teen freaked. He started flailing like a llama with mad cow disease. In the processes he knocked into the door on the pineapple several times until it opened revealing a strange yellow square-like creature in brown shorts.

Now any sane person knows that if you're under water and you can't breathe you simply head for the surface. The Titans would have loved nothing more but they couldn't leave Control Freak, it was against the 'Heroes Oath'.

Robin was cursing him under his breath, well, he would have been cursing him under his breath if he could breathe. Instead he grabbed the taller teen in a head lock and snatched the remote. Motioning for the others to get close he started pressing buttons and was relieved to see the world dissolve around them, the strange square-like creature waving at them happily.

---
When everything became solid again they saw a large building in front of them with a sign that read 'Casper High'. Sharing a look they all simply shrugged. It was, yet again, another show they didn't know.

Robin grabbed Control Freak by the collar, "You are going to get us out of this nightmare right now! That last one could have killed us all!"

It was about this point Control Freak wet himself. Nodding to the enraged Titan leader he proceeded to check over his remote, hoping to find a reset button or something.

Meanwhile the other four had been poking around their new environment. Everything seemed relatively normal, there was a school and students, a well balanced world… nothing really seemed out of the ordinary. That was at least until they heard 'Woooooooooooo'.

Beastboy clutched onto Ravens arm, "What was that!"

Raven just smiled, kinda evilly at him, "Sounds like a ghost…. 'Woooooooo Beastboy, I am coming to get you…'" She was making wiggly motions with her fingers and swaying slightly in her attempt to imitate a ghostie.

Beastboy watched for a minute and then burst out laughing. "Oh haha, funny Raven. A ghost…"

He suddenly went really quiet. There were two reasons for this. The first was that he was completely dumbfounded at the fact that Raven had just joked with him, not to mention the 'wiggly' finger thing. The second reason was because a bluish looking being had just popped up behind her, looking at him menacingly.

"Uh…Raven?"
"Yeah?"
"Uh-uh…uh…" He couldn't quite come out with it. Instead he was left stuttering and making vague hand motions trying to indicate she should turn around.

Raven just smiled at him. "Oh! You want play charades?" She knew what was behind her but she could also feel it. It wasn't a danger to her.

Beastboy didn't know what to do. He grabbed Raven and pushed her behind him ignoring her comment, "You're not supposed to touch people in this game!"

Cyborg and Star had finally noticed the new arrival as well. "Is that what I think it is?" "I don't know friend, what do you think it is?"

Robin and Control Freak were still to preoccupied with the remote to notice anything else.

The new arrival hovered over them scowling down. "BEWARE!" It finally decided it had their undivided attention. "BEWARE!"

Raven looked around her as though nervous. She slowly walked over to the hovering creature, "They're here aren't they? They found us! It's all over now!"

The ghost looked down at her funny, "What?"
Raven just looked at him, "You said 'Beware', oh, you were just testing weren't you?" Looking back at the others she waved them off, "Never mind guys, false alarm."

The ghost just continued to stare at her until it rallied itself. Clearing its throat it decided to try again, "Ehem, Beware! For I am the Box Ghost!"

At first all it got in return were blank stares. Then something happened. Raven was the first, but then the others followed shortly after. They all broke out in uncontrollable laughter.

Beastboy said it best, "The Box Ghost? Oh man, how lame, a box ghost… what did you do, die cutting yourself packing up your home?"

The others just continued to laugh while the ghost blushed bright blue and scampered off crying to himself.

Robin and Control Freak however had made some progress, completely missing the interaction with 'The Box Ghost'. Robin gathered the others up and smiled, "We think we finally got it."

Raven bounced happily on her toes, "Really? So how many licks does it take?"

All the boys simply looked at her, Robin cocking an eyebrow, "Uh - no, nevermind – I don't want to know. I meant that we think we finally can get back home."

The others did a small cheer at this, except Raven who was still pouting at not knowing how many licks it really took to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

Everyone gathered together and Control Freak pressed a few buttons. The scenery started to fade and all the Titans were feeling pretty optimistic that this horror would finally be at an end.

---
How wrong they were. As they came into focus they noticed that not only were they not home but everything was made out of string.

Robin was confused, "I thought we were only supposed to be in animated shows."

Control Freak just shrugged, "I don't know what happened, that should have gotten us out. Does anyone know where we are?"

Suddenly two white mice walked up to them, "We can tell you where you are earthlings."

Star squealed; she wanted to love and cuddle and take the little mice home with her. Cyborg just scratched the back of his head, puzzled, "Uh, are those two mice talking to us?"

Beastboy would have surely made a stupid joke at this point; really he did have one to go with this situation. It went something like this;
What has six eyes but can't see? Three blind mice…
But unfortunately, or fortunately, depending who you ask, he was rather busy with Raven.

Raven liked the string people. Not only was everything here made out of string but so were the four people who were standing around. This gave Raven an idea.

She walked over to one of the people and started pulling on a loose thread hanging off them. It came out easily, bring more thread with it. The more that came out the more she continued to pull. Pretty soon the person was without an arm and their torso was beginning to disappear as well.

If Beastboy hadn't stopped her it would have surely gotten ugly.

Just as suddenly as they had arrived the scenery started to fade again. Robin looked over at Control Freak, asking, "Did you hit the button?"

The large teen just shook his head, "No… I think this is bad." Before anyone else could say something they were off again.

---
When the world became real again all of the Titans, and one fat teen, let out sighs of relief. Before them stood a large T-shaped tower on a little island in a bay.

They were home.

"Finally" Robin could feel the tension slip from his body. He wanted nothing more than to throw the remote wielding freak in jail and then sink into his bed.

"Let's go home guys." Before they could make it anywhere however there was a sudden blaring of the alarm.

They all let out a collective groan, Cyborg even moaning, "Nooo". None of them wanted to fight anymore crime today.

Before they could do anything however something very strange happened. In front of them the tower doors opened and out came five replicas of the Titans. They looked like them for the most part but then again they also didn't.

Beastboy just started opened mouthed, "Dudes… I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."

That became very apparent when the five replicas took off for destinations unknown and a large 'cartoon print' word of 'Whoosh' appeared where they had been.

"Whoosh?" Robin could feel the headache returning with full force though it was Control Freak who actually started to cry, "Why! We should be home! Who makes a freaking cartoon of you guys! WHO!"

Even Raven was a little creeped out at the idea of there being an animated version of her running around. It was Robin who suddenly remembered.

"Oh crap, I forgot." At the confused looks that he got from everyone he decided to elaborate, "You see, a few months ago some guys from Japan approached me with an idea to turn us into a show… And, well, Cyborg needed an overhaul and Beastboy needed that flea dip, and Star kept going shopping at the mall, not to mention how many books Raven buys… we needed the money! So I agreed…"

They all just stared at him blankly for a few moments before Beastboy let out a little hoot, "You mean we have our own show! That is so cool dude! You should have told us… I bet I'm the hot one, I am right?"

Cyborg just slapped him upside the head, "You could never be the hot one BB, but seriously Robin, you should have asked us."

Robin just nodded while Control Freak looked on with interest, "Do you think they would let me be on the show? As like your ultimate arch-villain guy?"

Raven had finally had enough. Sure, it had been interesting, and sure it had given her lots of things to do but she needed to get home and meditate. BADLY.

She walked over to Control Freak and grabbed him by the neck. Pulling him down to her level she proceeded to press down on his throat hissing, "Give me that damn remote right now!"

Wide-eyed he just whimpered a little as he hurriedly gave the dark girl the item in question, "Here, here – take it!"

Nodding in satisfaction she released him and watched with pleasure as he dropped to the ground. Sure she was a hero but sometimes sadism was satisfying.

She pushed her powers into the remote and watched as it glowed black and then white. Pressing a few random buttons she motioned for everyone to gather around her.

When they had she pressed the final button to activate the process then smiled evilly at everyone, "Next stop, Tellytubbie Land."

Before any of the others could tell if she was joking or not the world around them, that looked so much like their own and yet not, began to fade.

TBC…
