Just Plain Stupidity

Episode Four: "Download Malfunction"

Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans.

"You know," Beast Boy said. "I never did like poptarts, especially when they turn into gigantic, molten monsters shooting strawberry filling!"

"Well, this is really a friendship breakfast gone wrong," Raven mumbled.

"You act surprised. From what I hear, they always seem to go wrong," Lance said. "How is this time any different."

"Hello!" Lan screamed. "Didn't you say, "Titans, go" a long time ago? What's taking so long?"

"Oh yeah," Robin said embarrassed that it was pointed out that he had been slacking of his duty." You guys might want to stand back," he said to Silverfire and the others. "We'll handle this. Titans, go!" The Titans rushed forth to attack the goop monster.

"Why can't we help?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked all fired up and ready to fight. "Do you have to have some sort of license to fight?" The goop monster turned its head and spit a missile of strawberry filling. It exploded just feet away from BlackDragonGirl04 causing her to squeal as she jumped and frightfully clung to BlueDragonGirl1. BlueDragonGirl1 lost her balance and fell into Silverfire, hence causing "The Domino Effect". Silverfire then fell into Kianna, who fell into Kia, who fell into Lanser, who fell into Lance, who grabbed a hold of his pants to keep them from falling down.

"Must I remind you," BlueDragonGirl1 said to BlackDragonGirl04. "That we are merely fanfic writers, not superheros?"

"To hell with that!" BlackDragonGirl04 cursed.

"Judging from our current situation, perhaps we should leave it to the professionals?" Lanser said. BlackDragonGirl04 growled in his direction.

The Titans had surrounded the goop monster on all sides. Beast Boy transformed into a pterodactyl and flew up to the ceiling then swooped down upon the goop monster. The goop monster raised up one sticky hand and swat Beast Boy, sending him to the floor. Raven quickly flew to Beast Boy's rescue and formed a black shield over him as the goop monster tried to crush him.

"Hey, goop freak!" Cyborg called from behind. The goop monster turned its head a complete one-hundred eighty degrees and Cyborg blast a blue laser beam out of his arm. The beam struck the goop monster between its eyes and it was sent reeling backwards, falling to the floor.

"Look out below!" Cyborg called to Raven and Beast Boy. Beast Boy turned into a cheetah and sprinted to safety while Raven flew away with a shield surrounding her. The goop monster landed with a large "splat" sending strawberry filling splashing everywhere. Robin ran up and pulled Lan from the sticky wreckage.

"Are you alright?" Robin asked.

"I may form a kitchen-phobia after this whole experience, but other than that, I'm fine," Lan replied.

"Well, that was easy," Cyborg said. Suddenly, the goop monster let out a roar and reared up onto its blob feet.

"Guess I spoke too soon," Cyborg said.

"Uh . . .guys," Beast Boy said. "What are we going to do?" The goop monster glared at them then opened its mouth and took in a deep breath, doubling its overall body size.

"Run?" Raven suggested. And on queue, they turned around and retreated away from the slowly growing goop monster.

"Hey! Why are they running towards us and waving their hands wildly in the air as if they were on fire?" Kianna asked.

"Um. . . .maybe we should kinda take the hint," Kia said grabbing Kianna and bolting for the nearest exit.

"Go, go, go!" Lan yelled.

The battle suddenly turned in to a frantic stampede to get to the nearest exit. They were so close to the door that would lead them to higher ground when the goop monster finally let out the breath it had been storing inside its body and strawberry filling cascaded out of its opened mouth, sending a tidal wave rushing towards them. Raven rose up into the air and formed a black shield around everyone. The red tidal wave hit the shield and slowly moved it. Raven struggled to keep it steady but the size of the shield was too hard to handle and the onslaught of the wave produced too much pressure. If she kept it up the shield would collapse and she would be hit with a mind recoil, but she couldn't let her friends be swallowed up by the goop monster.

Robin, sensing Raven's distress, looked up and saw that her hands were shaking as she chanted. "Raven, stop!" he yelled up to her. "Let the shield down. It's not worth it!"

"He's right, Raven. Drop the shield!" Beast Boy yelled.

Against her will, Raven dropped the shield and the wave washed her away and struck the floor flooding the entire room. Everyone was scattered by the force of the wave. Silverfire, Kia and Robin were thrown into the kitchen area and against the cabinets. Beast Boy caught Raven and they were both washed away along with Lance and Kianna. Lan and Lanser quickly disappeared underneath the wave and Cyborg and BlackDragonGirl04 were thrown through the windows. BlueDragonGirl1 was slammed against a wall. When the wave settled the Goop Monster gathered itself together and roared. BlueDragonGirl1 looked around her. Everyone was out cold and she was quickly slipping into unconsciousness. The last thing she saw before going unconscious was someone wearing a purple dress crashing through a window with green spheres and thinking:

"Damn, I hate irony."

On a peaceful night in a small town located somewhere in the United States, BlueDragonGirl1 woke up to find herself back in her own bedroom, lying in her own bed. Overjoyed and equally freaked out by the mere fact that she was home, she began to scream. Outside, the alarms of the cars parked outside started to blare and the various stray dogs that roamed the streets began to howl loudly waking up half off the town. Some of the angrier citizens of the town later wrote to their senators complaining about how people who have echoing screams should not be allowed to live in their small town, but that's another story.

"Oh for the love of it all! BlueDragonGirl1, shut up!" BlackDragonGirl04 ordered kicking open the bedroom door.

BlueDragonGirl1 looked up stunned. "What are you doing here?"

"I heard you screaming," BlackDragonGirl04 said as if it weren't obvious.

BlueDragonGirl1 stared at her with her mouth gaped. "But you live on the other side of town."

She nodded. "I know."

Lance sat up quickly from where he had been lying (un)comfortably on the floor and held his head in his hands. "Ah! My head."

BlueDragonGirl1 stared at him wide-eyed and took a deep breath. "GAHH!! THERE'S A MAN IN MY BEDROOM!!"

"Whoa! What were you up too last night?" BlackDragonGirl04 asked slightly wigged out herself.

BlueDragonGirl1 closed her eyes and violently shook her head from side to side to see if everything would just go away. She only ended up with a bigger headache then she had started with and looked up at BlackDragonGirl04. "Well, I had this really weird dream last night," she began.

BlackDragonGirl04 interrupted her. "Have you been drinking?"

"No," BlueDragonGirl1 replied clearly insulted. There was a thumping sound that came from the closet next to the end of the bed and then a crash as a shelf inside fell down. There was a multitude of "ouches" and some inappropriate phrases before the closet door slid aside.

"Hey!" Silverfire said as she climbed out of the closet. Kia and Kianna followed her closely from behind. "What are you guys doing in MY room?" she asked thinking that the dark room was hers.

"What are you doing in my closet?" BlueDragonGirl1 asked.

"Why are you even keeping people in your closet? Lance inquired.

"Ew," Lanser said crawling out from underneath BlueDragonGirl1's bed.

Lanser shot up from the other side of the bed screaming and clawing at himself. "AHHH!! THE STRAWBERRY GOOP IS EVERYWHERE!!" During the entire ordeal the car alarms had been silenced and the stray dogs shot but now the car alarms were blaring anew and this time the cats were up and yowling as if they were in heat. Everyone stared at him as if he were crazy.

"I didn't do it!" BlueDragonGirl1 said throwing her hands up in the air.

Kia slid closer to Kianna and whispered. "What's his problem?"

Kianna shook her head. "No clue."

"Now about that dream I had . . . . ." BlueDragonGirl1 started but Kianna interrupted. "Don't listen to her everyone. I heard she's been drinking."

"So did I!" Silverfire piped up.

"You all were drinking." Lance said.

"If this has anything to do with a bunch of teen super heros and soul sucking computers then I had that dream too," Kia said.

"Same here!" Lan said.

"We second that," Lanser and Kianna said in unison.

"OH MY GOD! WE'VE ALL BEEN DRINKING!" Lance said in despair then went back to cradling his head. "Oh, my head," he moaned.

"Feeling a little hungover aren't we?" Silverfire asked patting him on the back.

"Well, at least we've got that settled," BlackDragonGirl04 said.

"What are you talking about?" BlueDragonGirl1 asked. "We haven't settled anything."

There was a beeping noise and the computer in the corner of BlueDragonGirl1's room suddenly turned itself on. The screen began to glow. BlackDragonGirl04 looked to BlueDragonGirl1 who looked to Lance who looked to Silverfire who looked to Kianna and Kia who both looked to Lanser and Lan who then looked back at BlackDragonGirl04 who looked at BlueDragonGirl1 who got sick of looking at people and just shook her head in denial. "Uh-oh."

The computer screen suddenly began to glow white. Everyone got up from where they were and scrambled for the door, screaming.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" O.O

The afternoon of the next day BlueDragonGirl1 and BlackDragonGirl04 put together a small party in BlueDragonGirl1's backyard for no logical reason other than welcome the people who were going to be crashing at their houses until they could find out how to get them back home. BlackDragonGirl04 rubbed her eyes as BlueDragonGirl1 poured her a third cup of fruit punch, which was secretly POWERADE, but no one really needed to know that.

"Next time, I'd rather not sleep outside," Lanser said. "Couldn't we just have slept in the basement?"

"And risk my parent finding all of you?" BlueDragonGirl1 asked pouring him the POWERADE disguised as fruit punch. "Hell, no."

Kianna bounded up, feeling the full affect of the POWERADE. "Hey! This is a rockin' party!" she cheered jumping up and down. Kia crept up beside her. "Rockin'?" she asked. "This is as rockin' as a grandmothers' garden party."

"Well, at least the food's good," Silverfire said munching on a strawberry crepe.

"Complaints go to the chef," Lan said coming up to them with a tray full of chocolate covered sugar cookies.

Lance rushed up to Lan but Lanser pulled him back by his tail before he could tackle him. "Sugar?" he asked.

Lan shook his head. "Splenda." Lance groaned.

"Isn't that the same as sugar," Kia asked.

"They haven't proven that legally yet," Silverfire said.

Lanser looked up just as a line of blue light flashed across the sky and disappeared. "Hey! A shooting star!"

"That can't be a star you idiot!" Kia said. "It's in the middle of the day."

"Yeah! Even I knew that," BlackDragonGirl04 said proudly.

"Well, it could have been a star," Lanser said defensively.

"Is that possible," Silverfire asked Lance and he shrugged.

BlueDragonGirl1 looked up. "Come on guys! That's wasn't a star . . . ." Another line flashed across the sky and something plummeted down towards them. "IT'S A METEOR!!!" Everyone scrambled to get out of the way and jumped over a chain link fence and into a patch of tiger lilies in full bloom sending up a cloud of orange pollen. The meteor, although small in size, crash-landed into the backyard sending up an even bigger cloud of dirt and dust. When the cloud had subsided, everyone slowly rose up out of the lily patch and cautiously crept forward.

"You sure don't see that everyday," Kia remarked.

"That was frickin' awesome," BlackDragonGirl04 said.

"No it wasn't," BlueDragonGirl1 said smacking her across the head. "Do you have any idea what my parents are going to do if they see this?"

"That's IF they see it," Lan pointed out.

"No doubt they will," Lance said.

They cautiously looked over the edge of the cliff and BlackDragonGirl04's jaw dropped when she saw what was standing in the middle. "OH NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!" she screamed. Lan and Lanser pulled her back just as she was about to fall forward into the crater and allowed her to fall instead on her back with a thump.

Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg and Starfire all climbed out of the crater and stood in front of them, taking in the scenery.

"Uh, hey guys," Beast Boy greeted. Everyone stared at them awkwardly and at a lost for words.

"As if my life couldn't get anymore interesting," BlueDragonGirl1 mumbled.

"Ditto," Silverfire agreed.

"How'd you get here?" Kianna asked.

"Let's just say we had a little "download" malfunction," Cyborg put bluntly.

"A likely story," Kia said.

"It's just like déjà vu," BlackDragonGirl04 said. "Better them then us though." She looked to BlueDragonGirl1 for agreement but she shook her head. "I disagree."

"As usual," BlackDragonGirl04 mumbled.

"Is there anyway for you guys to, you know, go back?" Lance asked.

Robin looked to Raven, who shrugged, then to Cyborg, who shook his head, then just to break the tie looked to Starfire who gave him a confused stare. "Not that we know of."

There was a long moment of silence.

"Well, this is awkward," Lan commented.

"So, what are we going to do?" BlueDragonGirl1 asked.

They thought long and hard then Starfire piped up. "Friendship breakfast?"

Episode Four: End

The End.

BlueDragonGirl1: Due to the changes that occurred during the long hiatus after chapter three, I was forced to make the difficult decision of cutting the "Just Plain Stupidity" series short and end it with Episode Four. The friendship of the people in the story in real life isn't as close as it use to be and it became awkward to make the characters act close to each other when the real persons who portrayed them were not. So after contacting the fanfic writers involved with the story, we all agreed that it was time to bring things to a close. Thanks to everyone who has read and I'm sorry for anyone who is disappointed. Special thanks to Kiona Kina (now Nintendo Queen), Lance (SugarMaster15) and BlackDragonGirl04 for letting me use their colorful characters in order to make this story as funny as it turned out to be.
