Episode 2: Explosive PopTarts
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans and I do not own Pop Tarts. (Note: Thank you RavenFairie, Kiona Kina and, of course, BlackDragonGirl04 for reviewing, now on with episode 2)"I know this is a bad time to ask this but," BlackDragonGirl04 began, "would it have really hurt to walk instead of dangling dangerously thousands of feet in the air with the risk of being hit by an airplane?" Her question was directed towards BlueDragonGirl1.
"Well, no," BlueDragonGirl1 replied. "But considering that on the TV show the Teen Titan's tower is on a small island in the middle of a big lake, it probably is better that we fly."
"It's called a boat!" BlackDragonGirl04 said. "Ever heard of it?"
"It saves time if we fly," Silverfire informed her looking straight ahead. "Not to mention it's cheaper."
"You people are insane," BlackDragonGirl04 mumbled.
"Thank you," BlueDragonGirl1 and Silverfire both replied.
They flew on in silence until a tall tower in the shape of a 'T' appeared in the distance. "There it is," Silverfire announced.
"Hey!" It's shaped like a 'T'," BlackDragonGirl04 said. "I've never seen a tower like that before."
"Well duh. 'T' for Teen Titans," BlueDragonGirl1 said.
Silverfire flew down and they landed onto the ground in front of the steel entrance to the tower. Silverfire ran up to the door and pressed a big, silver button right beside the door.
"That's one hell of a big door bell," BlueDragonGirl1 breathed.
"'Ello," a voice greeted through an intercom above the door. BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04 fell over onto the ground.
"Hey Cyborg, I'm back!" Silverfire said cheerfully. "And I brought some friends with me too!"
"Cool Silver, wait one moment please," Cyborg replied. There was a series of clicking sounds and the steel door slid open.
Silverfire turned to BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04, who were still on the ground shocked. "Come on. I'll introduce you to my friends," she said. "They'll be happy to meet you both."
"Uh-huh," BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04 replied uneasy as they got up off the ground and followed Silverfire inside. They walked down a long hallway lined with many doors.
"What's behind all these doors?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked Silverfire.
Silverfire shrugged. "I don't know. Training equipment?" she replied.
When they reached the end of the hallway, Silverfire pressed a button and the door slid open. They found themselves standing in a brightly lit kitchen that led to a giant living room that had a TV screen that covered a whole wall.
"Whoa!" BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04 gaped. "It's even bigger in real life then it is on TV!"
"Sister Silverfire!" a tall, red-haired girl wearing a purple top and skirt said excitedly appearing in the room. "You have returned!"
"Hey Starfire!" Silverfire said walking up to her older sister and they embraced in a sisterly hug. "How have you been?"
"I have been super," Starfire replied. She looked over Silverfire's shoulder. "You have brought friends from the other side?"
"Other side?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked. "Who does she think we are? Dead people?"
"Well, we did crash land into the ground leaving a less than massive dent in the earth's surface," BlueDragonGirl1 reminded her.
"These are my Fanfiction friends," Silverfire said. "This is BlueDragonGirl1 and she is BlackDragonGirl04."
Starfire stared at BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04 with wonder and puzzlement. "You do not look like a dragon of blue," she said to BlueDragonGirl1. "And you do not look like a dragon of black," she said to BlackDragonGirl04. She walked around them memorizing every detail of them. "May I ask? What planet do you originate from?"
"Earth," BlackDragonGirl04 replied. "The planet where deranged and whacked computers suck people into another dimension." She glanced at BlueDragonGirl1.
BlueDragonGirl1 shrugged. "It's not my fault," she said imitating her computer's voice.
"They're from my world Starfire," Silverfire said trying to clear up the confusion.
"Ahh," Starfire said finally understanding. "The world outside the TV screen."
"Huh?" BlueDragonGirl1 looked at Silverfire confused.
"Yeah, I sorta told them that their life is a TV series in our world," Silverfire replied.
"And they're alright with that?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"Hey Silver!" the door opened on the other side of the room and Cyborg walked in. "You said that you brought friends with you so let's meet 'em."
"Hey Silver Kina!" a green skinned boy named Beast Boy greeted entering the room behind Cyborg. "What's up?"
"Hey guys!" Silverfire said.
"Silver Kina?" BlueDragonGirl1 asked.
"Yeah. It's a cross between my Tamarian name and my Fanfiction pen name," Silverfire explained. "Hey Cyborg! Where's Robin and Raven?" she asked.
"Um . . . . . .well, you know," Cyborg mumbled.
"Please don't let them be doing anything hentai!" BlackDragonGirl04 pleaded praying to the ceiling. "I can hardly deal with being surrounded by all these freaks. I don't think I'll be able to handle people 'doing it' in the same building that I'm in!"
"Naked graveyard," BlueDragonGirl1 whispered into BlackDragonGirl04's ear. (Inside joke just between BDG04 and I)
"GAHHHHHHHHH EVILLLLLLLLLL!" BlackDragonGirl04 screamed covering her ears as she turned around and ran through the wall.
"You don't see that everyday," BlueDragonGirl1 mumbled as she watched BlackDragonGirl04, through the hole in the wall, ran away from the tower. "Luckily, she won't be able to get very far."
"Dude! Silverfire! Where did you meet your friends again?" Beast Boy asked. "A mental institution?"
(-)
"Jeez BlackDragonGirl04," BlueDragonGirl1 mumbled as she placed a square bandage over a cut on BlackDragonGirl04's forehead, which was surprisingly her only injury from running through a wall. "You didn't have to go and freak out like that."
"I hate you BlueDragonGirl1," BlackDragonGirl04 mumbled.
"Don't hate me," BlueDragonGirl1 replied. "Hate your ability to imagine in detail everything you read and freshman health." She slapped the bandage and BlackDragonGirl04 flinched as the cut underneath stung.
"So . . . .um, what did you guys say your names were?" Robin asked who had arrived upon hearing all the commotion in the living room. Raven was there also, having been interrupted from her meditating. (And no they had not been doing anything "hentai". They had gotten into an argument earlier and things just had been a little tense between them.)
"My name is BlueDragonGirl1," BlueDragonGirl1 replied introducing herself. "And this is my psychotic friend BlackDragonGirl04."
"I do not come from a mental institute," BlackDragonGirl04 mumbled glaring at them.
"Um . . . . .ok," Robin said.
"To celebrate the coming of our new friends, I shall make cakes from a pan for breakfast," Starfire said cheerfully as she crossed over into the kitchen area.
"Huh?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"She means pancakes," Beast Boy informed her. "Although, I should warn you now. Starfire isn't the greatest of cooks."
"Hey sis!" Silverfire said as she walked over to her sister who was searching through the cabinets to find certain ingredients. "How 'bout we have something simple for breakfast? No need in going through all the trouble right?"
"Wow! Even her sister doesn't like her cooking?" BlackDragonGirl04 said. "Is she really that bad?"
"Almost burned down the tower the last time she tried to cook something," Cyborg replied in a low tone so Starfire would not overhear.
"But it is Tamarian custom to welcome new friends by making a special meal," Starfire said to Silverfire.
"Since when did we become friends?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked BlueDragonGirl1.
"I don't know. I must have missed it too," BlueDragonGirl1 replied. "Don't worry Starfire, it doesn't really matter," she said to Starfire.
"But I feel that it is my duty," Starfire pleaded. "You are in fact our new friends."
"Um . . . . .well thanks," BlueDragonGirl1 said. "But that would make you guys our new friends too, right? So, um, it is our custom to have . . . .um," BlueDragonGirl1 trailed off.
"Have what?" Beast Boy asked.
"We have a 'new friends' custom?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"Pop-tarts!" BlueDragonGirl1 shouted finally coming up with something simple to make. (Poptarts plus toaster. Duh.)
"Poptarts?" the titans asked.
"BlueDragonGirl1, what the hell are you thinking?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"Tell me Dragon Girl of blue," Starfire said curiously. "What are these tarts and do they really pop?"
"Well, not literally," BlueDragonGirl1 replied. 'Damn it! How do I explain this!' she thought to herself. "It's like edible cardboard with icing!"
"Cardboard! Gross!" Beast Boy gagged sticking his tongue out. "You people eat cardboard?"
"NO!" BlueDragonGirl1 said. "It's like cardboard, I mean, as thin as cardboard with, like, strawberry filling inside and icing on top."
"Cool!" Cyborg said.
"Do they have tofu filled ones?" Beast Boy asked.
"Ewwwww!" everyone said in disgust.
"What! Just asking," Beast Boy said.
"Um, right," BlackDragonGirl04 said. "So, Silverfire. Have any poptarts?"
"I'm sure if I looked I could find some," Silverfire replied beginning to search the cabinets. Starfire began to help searching by checking the drawers.
"I doubt we have any you guys," Robin said.
"Look! Poptarts!" Starfire said excitedly as she pulled a dusty box out of a drawer. "Dragon Girl of blue, how do we prepare these 'poptarts'?"
"Just put them in a toaster and toast them," BlueDragonGirl1 instructed her.
Starfire opened the box and dumped out the silver-foil packets.
"Exactly how old are these?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked wiping the dust off the box with her finger.
Cyborg picked up the box. "I bet its been here since we moved here," he said.
"And how long ago was that?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"A couple of years," Cyborg replied. "Maybe a little bit more."
"Whoa! That's old!" BlackDragonGirl04 said. "Screw custom! I ain't eating any stale poptarts!"
"You guys," Starfire announced. "I have placed the poptarts in the toaster to toast them."
"Cool Star," Cyborg said.
"Uh, Starfire," Silverfire began. "Where are the wrappers?"
"The wrappers?" Starfire asked.
"You didn't take off the wrapping!" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"Don't worry, our toaster can only hold two pieces of bread," Robin said. "Two wrappers won't cause much damage."
"Robin is right," Starfire said. "Our toaster can only hold two pieces of bread. . . ."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"But I found that all of the poptarts fit into our toaster," Starfire finished.
"WHAT?" Everyone yelled.
Beast Boy tilted his head up and sniffed the air. "Uh, guy," he said. "Do you smell something?"
They all turned towards the toaster and saw that it was vibrating violently on the counter with black smoke trailing out.
"She's gonna blow!" Cyborg yelled.
"Everyone hit the ground!" BlueDragonGirl1 screamed.
Silverfire grabbed Starfire, who was taking her time contemplating what to do next, and they ran into the living room area and dived over the sofa. There was a loud explosion; causing the tower to shake and pieces of burning poptart crusts went flying everywhere.
"So, is this part of your 'new friends' custom," Raven, speaking for the first time, asked BlueDragonGirl1 who was sitting right next to her with her hands protecting her head.
"To tell you the truth," BlueDragonGirl1 began. "We don't even have a 'new friends' custom. I just made that up so I wouldn't have to risk spending the rest of the day in the bathroom vomiting up Starfire's cooking."
"I would probably have done the same thing," Raven replied.
When the burning poptart pieces had finally stopped flying everywhere, they all slowly peeked up over the edge of the sofa.
"Is it over?" Beast Boy asked.
The black smoke cleared and they could see that the toaster had erupted red, strawberry filling everywhere and it was still billowing out of the toaster, slow and oozy.
"Hey! It's pahoehoe," BlackDragonGirl04 said.
Everyone stared at her strangely.
"It's a type of lava that erupts from volcanoes," BlackDragonGirl04 explained.
"Save it for science class BlackDragonGirl04," BlueDragonGirl1 mumbled.
Beast Boy climbed over the sofa and touched a blob of strawberry filling that was cooling on the edge of the kitchen table. He wiped it up with his finger and tasted it. "Mmmm, this is pretty good," he said. "One of the best 'new friends' customs I've ever tasted." He got down on the floor and began to lick up the strawberry filling.
"Ick! Is that really sanitary?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked.
"Hell if I should know," BlueDragonGirl1 replied.
Suddenly the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Silverfire volunteered. "You guys stay here and clean this mess up."
"Way ahead of you Silver Kina," Beast Boy said then he went back to licking up the strawberry goodness.
"Riiiiiiiiiight," Silverfire said as she left the room.
"Well we better get cleaning," Robin said.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Everyone in the room froze.
"That was my sister's scream," Starfire said.
"Titans! GO!" Robin ordered and they ran out of the kitchen to Silverfire's rescue.
