I woke up and groaned , my head hurt. the light was too bright so I kept my eyes closed. I try to figure out what day it is. 'Let's see…yesterday I had chorus so to day must be Thursday. Wait I'm still in my uniform so maybe it's still Wednesday.' I feel a vibration in my shirt pocket and, with my eyes still closed, I grab my phone. I slide it open and hit some random button on the full-sized keyboard. I pictured my phone as it turns on, it's dark blue. A mechanical voice says "Alarm 1. Wake up. Time 5:30 a.m. Thursday September 18th. To do, Test Science, History, English. Quiz French Math, Psychology. Projects History paper Friday, English paper Friday, Religion poster Friday. Drama meeting Friday free block. I groaned again. I have so much shit in school today. I don't even remember studying. The only thing I can do was study at my locker. At least I get to school early. I hate Thursdays, even more than Mondays. They are my teachers favorite test days. My head still hurts so I decide that I will try being Helen Keller for the next couple hours. I crawl to the end of my bed and feel around for my book bag, but it's not there. I sit up and mentally shrug. I guess I left it by the front door when I came in. I get up and walk to the door of my room. The room I had been living in for nine years, since I was eight years old. BAM! I bounced off a wall. I rub my head and feel around for the door knob. I couldn't feel it, or the door for that matter. I walked back to my bed and grabbed my phone. I remembered that I had turned my bed around, so my door is no longer in the same direction. Then I remembered why I turned my bed around. My dad ripped all the carpeting out of my room, so why am I standing on carpet? Where am I?

I open my eyes and scream. I dive back into the bed and pull the covers up over my head. I start to cry as I clutch my phone to my chest; my life line to my world. My phone started to play 'My World' by Avril Lavigne. I looked at my phone and saw I had a text from my best friend Shelby which read Hey r u ok? Brook tld me how u brk up with Alex. Txt me bck 3 Shelby I slid my phone open and hit reply. ill b fine. Im more worried abt all these tests 2day. R u ready 4 French? I hit send . I lay in bed staring at the ceiling. It suddenly occurred to me that I had just sent a text across dimensions, cool. I smirked. I could bend guns and send texts through space. All that is missing is my iPod. I sighed, I would just have to do without; it was lucky enough that I still had my phone. A phone that said it is currently 6:05. Why hadn't anybody come running when I screamed? Oh well. I get up and go to the real door, and stand there contemplating how it would open. The door is flush with the walls and I only know it is the door because it is a different color. A black bar on top must be some type of scanner, making it look like a high-tech super market door. My phone went off again, causing me to jump; this time it played 'All the Small Thing' by Blink 182. The door opened. I guess I must be in a high-tech super market. The text on my phone was from another friend, Brooke.

I don't reply to that. I look up and go right from my doorway until the hall ends at another, bigger door. It opened and, by shear luck, on the other side was the teen titan's living room. I walked over to the kitchen area and saw a note. Hi! If you are awake before we have returned, you may help your self to breakfast. We are on an important mission that could not wait, but we should return quickly. --3 Starfire

P.s. Don't touch the tofu, that's mine!-BB

I rolled my eyes, I hate tofu. I took eggs and cheese from the fridge, a pan from some cabinet, and a plate from somewhere else. The product is a beautiful cheese omelet if I do say so my self, and I do. Being the kind guest that I am , I also cleaned up when I finished eating. I walked over to the couch and checked the time on my phone, it was 7:28. I thought for a minute and hit the talk button. I didn't dial anything, I just out it up to my ear and said "Gusgus? Are you there?" I received no answer. "I need your help. Please." POP! My chibi Robin friend was floating a few feet in front of my face. "What can I help you with?" I stared. It had worked! I could call Gusgus anytime I wanted to! Maybe. " I need a book." he smiled like that would be easy. " what kind of book do you want?" "I need a specific book." his face fell a little. "What book?" "it's a book from my world." he waited for me to continue. "It's the D.C. Encyclopedia of Superheroes." His smile came back, "that's easy! I'll be right back! " He popped away. I waited, sitting on the couch. Just when I was going to get boarded, he came back with the book. "Here it is!" "O.k. Thanks." I smiled at him. I got up and took the book. I paced as I flipped through the book. I looked up and noticed Gusgus following me and looking over my shoulder. I shooed him away, and continued flipping. "Here it is!" I exclaimed. "What?" "My background check on my hosts." Gusgus looked confused "What do you mean?" "For most of the people that I know, there exactly three places to see this world that you sent me to: On the TV, in a book, or in their dreams." "What a bout computers?" "Shut up! I'm ranting. That's basically the same as TV anyway. Getting back to my point, to me, this world isn't real. Now suddenly it is, and I know almost nothing about it. Logical, since I can't just leave, I want to know more about it." "So what's with the book?" "I'm getting to the book!" I paused and took a deep breath. 'happy place happy place happy place' In a comic book world I need comic book information and this," I held up the book, "is the mother load of comic book information. Standard nerd stuff." "Oh." Gusgus floated away to look at something else. I looked at the page. It was all about the teen titans. There had been two groups with the same names and almost the same people. One thing on the page jumped out at me, in the bottom right hand corner was a picture of a giant robot. The caption read Giant robot Kronos, sworn enemy of the teen titans, specifically Cyborg. I didn't remember that, so I turned to Gusgus, "Hey, come look at this." He looked up and his face changed from one of curiosity to disbelief to fear in the space of a few seconds. There was a loud crash and I vaulted over the couch and hid behind it. Glass flew in every direction. I looked for Gusgus, but I couldn't see him, although I think that I heard a pop. I gulped. I took my phone out of my pocket and turned the camera on. I disabled the flash and took a picture of whatever was behind the couch. When I saw the picture I had taken, I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming.

"Starfire!" Robin yelled. The red head snapped around and blasted a robot the tried to get behind Robin while he was fighting. Beastboy ran at a group of robots, changing from a cheetah to an electric eel. He wrapped around three robots and gave off a discharge that took out half of the group. Cyborg ran up from the side and blasted the other half of the group, "Bo-yah!" Beastboy gave him a high-five and ran off. Raven used a bus to take out the last cluster of robots. Robin finished his off and Starfire looked around to make sure that they really were all gone. Raven walked over to Robin, Starfire landed beside them. " This is most strange," she said. " I know. They were just sitting in the street, waiting for us," Raven stated as she glanced around. "It wasn't a trap or, if it was, it didn't work," said Robin. He had his back to the girls and his staff was still out. He expected a bomb to go off any second. A green hawk flew towards them and turned into Beastboy as he landed. "Dude, don't be so tense," he told Robin, " We beat them. They're gone, really. Be happy our job was easy, for once." Robin relaxed and put his staff away. "That's what's bothering me. Why were these robots so easy to defeat?" Cyborg walked up then. HE had a troubled look on his face. "Does any one else have a severe case of déjà vu? 'Cause these robots look familiar." Beastboy rubbed his chine and looked deep in thought. " Now that you mention it, they kinda do. But you can't expect us to remember every robot that we've every beaten." "Beastboy is right," Starfire said. "Perhaps they simply look like other robots we have faced before. I to, feel the 'déjà vu', but for now, it would be best to return to the tower." "Alyssa may be up by now, and I still don't like the idea of her being there alone," commented Raven.

Meanwhile Robin was looking for something. "Hey, have any of you guys seen Lar- I mean Gusgus? He was here wasn't he?" They all started looking when Beastboy interjected, "Oh! I remember! He was following Robin but he stopped and looked all confused and popped away." "Don't worry, he can take care of himself," said Cyborg. "Its not him I'm worried about," Raven muttered, but no one heard. "It doesn't matter. Cyborg, why don't you see if Alyssa is up yet." Cyborg nodded and, walking towards the car, took out his yellow teen titans communicator. He flipped it open and hit a button. For a short moment, he saw Alyssa, with her back to him and a book in her hand. He almost thought he saw Gusgus to, but then the image was replaced with static. "Oh no," was all he could say before he was interrupted by a loud pop and a terrified Gusgus. The instant he saw Robin, he made a bee-line for him. "Robin! Help! The thing…! Broken…! And she…! The window…! Horrible! Danger! Alone!…" "Hey, slow down Gusgus." He stopped talking and took several deep breathes. " Now slowly tell me what happened. I definitely heard danger and horrible. Is Alyssa in trouble?" "YES! You have to come quick! It might be to late! I left Aly all alone, and…and the ro…and…" Gusgus started to look at the ground and saw all the robots on the ground. It was all to much for him, and he fainted.

I sat staring at the picture on my phone. IT was the giant robot from the book with two mini versions. The worst part was that all three were staring right at the phone!
