Hey, today's my one year anniversary of being a registered member on fanfiction! It's a joyous day, indeed. And also, I think I'll get my 150 reviews back before chapter 10, thanks to you guys! I love the reviews!

But I absolutely MUST clear up something: I AM NOT MAKING TERRA EVIL! Just because she'd been working with Slade, it doesn't necessarily make her evil. If you think about why she betrayed the Titans and why she turned to Slade, then you'd probably say, "She's not evil, she's just messed up and insecure." You don't have to like her, but she's not evil. Do you think she would've cried in Betrayal if she were evil? Would she have wanted to kiss Beast Boy if she were evil? Do you think she would even save the city from the volcano if she were evil? Would she sacrifice her life for the world if she were evil? … I didn't think so. And just because I like Terra it doesn't mean I'm denying the fact that she worked for Slade, either. She did work for him, and that's that. Are we all clear about that now? Thank you! (how come I didn't have this problem with the original story? Strange...)

Disclaimer: Take a guess, because it'll probably be right, unless you say something like "mashed potatoes" or "ice cream."

Chapter 5: Meet the Families

The day had finally arrived. Drain flew to the tower with Starfire's powers, knocked on the door, and waited a little bit.

It was none other than Robin who answered the door. But he was not dressed in the same traffic light colored outfit that would normally be seen on him. Instead, he was wearing a red t-shirt, khaki cargo shorts, white socks, and white athletic shoes. He was also mask-less. His eyes were a medium size, and blue. "We're ready, Drain."

He chuckled. "Ah, good. Now, let's walk inside. I'll tell you all in the game room who your new parents are."

Robin escorted Drain to the game room, where the remaining Titans stood, all of them next to their luggage.

Raven was dressed in baggy black pants with purple stripes on the sides. A chain hung from her belt-loop to her left pocket. Her long-sleeved black shirt seemed to flow on her.

Starfire was wearing a khaki skirt with a light purple top. To match the top, she wore light purple boots that reached a little past her ankles.

Beast Boy was wearing a blue baseball cap, worn backwards. He wore a black t-shirt with the Wicked Scary logo on the front, along with blue jeans.

Cyborg was wearing a white Detroit Pistons t-shirt, blue jean shorts, white socks, and black athletic shoes.

Terra had on a green t-shirt with a yellow "T" on it. She also had on camouflage cargo pants, tighter at the hips, but loose everywhere else. With them she wore black boots.

Drain crossed his arms, shook his head, and smiled. "My, my, don't we look wonderfully normal today!"

"Just get on with it…" moaned Raven.

He snarled. "Fine…" He took out six pieces of paper. "Here are each of your families and your addresses for the next year." He held one paper towards his face. "Dick, your parents will be Larry and Deena Grayson. They will pay much attention to you, because… they're those kind of people. You will also have an eleven-year-old sister named Princess."

Robin rolled his eyes. "Oh great…"

Drain handed Robin his paper and continued with the next one. "Kori, your parents are Tom and Rita Anders. They enjoy singing songs around the campfire while playing various instruments."

"Oh, glorious!" Starfire exclaimed with a smile.

"Oh, and by the way, you have six brothers and four sisters."

Starfire's eyes widened. "THAT many brothers and sisters! Oh, that is wonderful!"

"Yes. They are Michael, age seventeen, Gloria, age fourteen, Kevin, age twelve, David, age ten, Annie, age nine, Carl, age six, Angela, age five, Abby and Charlie, the twins, age two, and little Roger, who is only five months old."

"Oh my goodness! I am speechless…" She smiled the widest smile since before her powers were taken.

"I'm sure you are." He handed Starfire the paper. He held another one near him. "Okay Raven. Your parents are Eric and Ingrid Roth. They both teach at a Catholic elementary school, and are usually at the school when they aren't at home. You also have five brothers."

Raven looked very puzzled and scared at the same time. "Wait, five brothers, or five siblings?"

"Five brothers. Deal with it. Besides, the family needs a girl."

Raven frowned and growled.

Drain continued, "Anyhoo, your brothers are Eric, age twenty one, Jim, age nineteen, Sam, age eighteen, Travis, age thirteen, and Ricky, age twelve. The three oldest don't live with the family anymore, so it'll be just you, your new parents, and the two younger boys."

Raven sighed in relief, but was still surprised at the large boy amount and the extremely low girl amount.

Drain continued with the list. "Gar, your parents are Greg and Michelle Logan. Your dad's a loser comedian, and your mom's a bitch. Deal with it."

Beast Boy moaned.

Drain continued, "And you have an older sister named Marie, who is sixteen."

"I guess what they say is true; like father, like son," Raven commented with a smirk.

Beast Boy looked offended. "Dude, I am NOT a loser comedian! I'm a brilliant comedian!" Beast Boy stated with pride.

"Sure you are!" stated Terra with a fake smile as she patted his back.

Drain became frustrated from the interruptions. "As I was saying…"

The Titans froze.

He cleared his throat. "Anyhoo, back to the families… Victor, your parents are Phil and Julia Stone. Your father is a dentist, and your mother is a nurse. They are rich, but they are always so busy. You are an only child."

"Boo-yah!"

The other Titans glared at him.

"Oh… sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck.

Drain was down to one last piece of paper. "Tara, your parents are Chris and Teri Markov. They are the most average parents out of all of the ones that I have chosen for you all. You also have two little sisters and an older brother. They are Peter, age sixteen, Cora, age twelve, and Becky, age ten."

She thought for a moment. "I guess I don't have it that bad…"

Beast Boy grabbed her shoulders. "Dude! You are SO lucky! WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE THE BAD FAMILY!" He crashed his forehead on her left shoulder.

"I don't know, BB. Just relax. Maybe it won't be so bad after all." She stroked his back.

Drain held up his finger. "Oh, and that reminds me, you have to call each other by your real names. You might as well get used to it now as opposed to later."

They each exchanged glances and they sighed. An awkward silence stirred the room.

Drain decided that he should break the silence. He smiled and swung his fist to the other side of his body. "Alright, kids! Let's get to your new homes!"

The words from Drain's mouth were followed by many groans and moans.

He pouted and shrugged. "Oh come on! It can't be THAT bad, can it?"

The Titans did not respond. They just followed Drain outside. After he led them outside, he took Robin's arm and started to fly away. "I'm going to take each of you individually to your new homes. You all just stay here and wait for me to pick you up."

Starfire waved goodbye. "Goodbye, Dick! I shall see you at the new school that we shall be heading to in a couple of weeks!"

Robin waved his hand a little bit. "Goodbye, Star—I mean, Kori…"

Drain flew him towards a little ranch house in a neighborhood not far from the tower. He landed in the driveway, where the family of three was waiting for their new son.

The father of the household approached them. "Hi, Dick! Welcome home!"

The mother smiled. "Oh yes! Welcome!"

The young girl approached Robin and smiled very brightly. "Hello, big brother! I'm so glad you could be here with us! Dinner is almost ready! We're having chicken!" She gave him a big hug.

Robin groaned. "This is going to be a LOOONG year!"

His new sister giggled, took his hand, and led him inside. "Come on, I'll show you my room! Daddy just painted it hot pink!"

While the rest of the family entered the house, Drain was waving goodbye. "Have a nice year! I'll check on you in about a month!"

The door shut. Drain flew in the air back to Titans Tower to grab Starfire. He took her to a richer neighborhood, with larger houses, some of them with swimming pools. Starfire's new home did not have a pool, but what it did have was a fire pit for bonfires. All twelve of Starfire's new family members stood outside, either on the porch, or on the driveway.

Her eyes twinkled with excitement and joy. "You must be my new family!"

The oldest son crossed his arms. "Don't get too excited… they're a little embarrassing…"

The mother of the house gave him a shoulder hug. "Nonsense! He just complains too much! He needs to loosen up a little bit!"

"Mom… stop!"

One of the youngest girls giggled. "Michael, you're so funny! Mommy, give him a BIG kiss!"

"Shut-up, Angela!"

"No!" shouted Angela.

"Michael, don't tell your sister to shut-up! It's very rude!" exclaimed the mother.

"Yeah, it's very rude!" said one of the younger boys, sticking out his tongue.

"Carl!" moaned Michael.

The eldest girl approached Starfire. "This family is crazy, just want you to know…" She held out her hand. "Gloria."

"I am Kori." They shook hands.

Drain decided that he wanted to leave this family alone, so he left without saying goodbye to Starfire. He returned to the tower and picked up Raven. He led her to an average-looking neighborhood, with some ranches, some two-story homes, some larger than others. He brought her to a smaller two-story home, with pink and white flowers in the garden, and standing on the porch were two parents, two boys, younger than Raven, and a small white dog with black spots.

"Hi Raven! You can call me Dad!" grinned the father of the household.

The mother leaned down to Raven's level. "Never mind your dad. He's a little strange…"

The younger of the boys squeaked, "BARTHOLOMEW! PEEUPIE!" He snuggled with the dog on the porch.

Raven frowned in irritation. "I take it the dog's name is Bartholomew…"

"Yeah," said the taller boy. "Do you play Gamestation?"

Raven's eyes began to twitch when she realized that her own brothers for the year were as obsessed with Gamestation as Cyborg and Beast Boy. She only responded, "No, and I never plan to."

His mouth gaped open in disbelief. "But it's so fun! Come on, you have to try it!" He dragged her inside.

The younger boy screamed, "Travis is obsessed with Gamestation!"

"Ricky, I'm not obsessed! I just like it a lot!"

Drain snickered. "Goodbye Raven! Have fun!" He flew back to the tower to pick up Beast Boy. He took him to the same neighborhood as Raven, except it was a couple of blocks away, and he was taken to an older ranch house. There was no one in the driveway except for an older teenager talking on a cell phone.

"Oh my god! I can't believe he did that to her! What an ass!" She stopped talking on the phone for a second and spotted Beast Boy. "Hold on a minute, Kayla. I'll call you back." She hung up her cell phone. "You must be Gar. I'm Marie."

"Uh, yeah," replied Beast Boy. "Soo… where are mom and dad?"

"Oh, you don't want to go inside for a while yet. Mom's having a… really bad mood swing. She gets those every once in a while. I'll inform you when it's safe. Just want you to know, Dad doesn't do a very good job cheering her up, so it's not safe at all. So, don't you even try either. You might get screamed at uncontrollably."

"Oh great… just what I need!" He turned to Drain. "Why did you choose me to be part of this family?"

"Cuz I wanted to. I can do that. Well, bye-bye!" He took off. He went back to the tower to grab Cyborg. He was taken to an extremely rich neighborhood near Starfire's. The house was small, but it was gorgeous. The land behind it was very spacious. It had a swimming pool, and room for a basketball court and other activities. Cyborg could have a party over at this house.

He went inside. "So, where are my parents?"

"Oh, they're probably not home. They'll be back soon I'm sure. Well, bye!"

Cyborg stood there for a while, then crashed on the couch and watched TV on the big screen TV in the living room, waiting for his new parents to come home.

He finally picked up Terra, and he took her to the same neighborhood that Robin was living in, only it was just a few blocks away from his house. On the front porch were the two parents, and older boy, and two younger girls fighting over a CD.

"It's mine!" cried one.

"No, it's mine! Mom bought this one for ME!" cried the other.

"It's mine!"

"No, mine!"

"Mine!"

"MINE!"

"Minemineminemine!"

"Mine times twenty!"

"Mine times a million!"

"Mine times infinity!"

The boy became extremely irritated. "STOP! It's Cora's CD! I remember, Mom got it for her for her birthday! Mom, tell them to stop fighting!"

"They should settle this on their own, Peter."

"Yeah Peter! We can do it ourselves! We're not nine ya know!" the younger girl shouted.

"Becky, you're ten! It's close enough to nine!"

Terra stood in shock. Why didn't the parents do anything about this ridiculous and immature argument? She stepped up to Peter. "You're Peter, right?"

"Yeah. You must be Tara. I hope you don't fight like this with others."

"Are you nuts! I'm fourteen! I don't fight over Britney Spears CDs!"

"Good! I could use someone that could help me shut those brats up!"

"You can count on me." They shook hands.

Drain said his final goodbye to Terra and left.

So now, the Teen Titans have officially become The Teen Normals…

Yay, chapter 5. Hoped you liked it. Review, please! It's a little shorter from the original because I cut out a lot of stuff that seemed pretty pointless.I hoped you liked the theme song too. I changed it a little bit because I didn't want to use "preppies", and the way I changed it actually made more sense to a certain degree. Bye now!

Vandagirl :D
