My idea for this story came from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I made some of the characters a little occ but they still have their powers like in the TEEN TITANS show.

Summary: A dark power is trying to rise and take control of the universe. The only way it will succeed is to have the ring of power and Raven as it's portal into the world. Can Raven stop these events from happening? With a little help from her friends she might.

Raven, Terra,, and Beastboy finally made it to the mall where they were greeted by their friends, Harvey(This is Kid Flash) and Jinx. "Hey guys. Glad you could make it," said Jinx. "Yah. Well, we would have come sooner if my mom didn't have company over," said Raven. "Let me guess, Kane right," said Harvey. "Gess. Is everyone a psychic other than me," Raven said with a laugh.

So after their little joke they went inside and started looking around. The girls went to JCPenny and the boys went to some other stores to just look around. After about 30 minutes the girls came out with one bag each and the boys had no bags at all.

Jinx: Are you going to window shop everytime we come here.

Harvey: I never shop unless it is necessery.

Terra: Yah right. I saw you with a load of bags last week.

Harvey: Not true! I-It was for my mom.(blushing)

Everyone else: Yah. Sure.

Raven: What about you Beastboy?

Terra: Yah what's your excuse?

Beastboy: I'm not shopping unless I need it. I'm saving my money.

Raven: Really! For what?

Beastboy: Something cool like……

(scenery changes for his dramatic statement. Stars fly out of a moped)

The 2008 2x Moped. (Author's note: I'm not gonna write out all the details and junk that he said about the moped so use your imagination. K.) Pretty neat isn't it.

Jinx: Beastboy, why would you want a vehicle like that?

Beastboy:The ladies love Mopeds.

Jinx: I don't and I'm a lady.

Beastboy: Well other girls do. It's cool.

The girls: Whatever.

So next, the gang decided to go to the arcade for a while to play around. Raven played Beastboy at a shooting game and won. Harvey and Jinx were on the Dance Dance revolution game and were tied in every match. Terra was dominating the fighting game called Marvel vs Street Fighters (author note: I haven't played this game in a long time.) Soon they all got hungry and went to grab a bit from subway.

"Subway has the best sandwiches ever," said Harvey as he stuffs his mouth with another sandwhich.

"Dude, how much can you eat," asked BeastBoy.

"A lot," Jinx replied as she munched on her own sandwich. "Did you see how he acts in school? A total class clown."

"Ah, a total class clown with outstanding grades need I remind you," said Harvey with a mouthful of food.

"Lucky. Dude, what is your secret? I'm doing miserable in math and science, said Beastboy.

"I'm just a genius."

"Yea right genius. Raven's way better in school then you," said Terra with a smirk, "and I'm just two steps behind her plus Jinx so we overthrow you in that department."

"Aw you hurt my feelings (fake sob). I thought we were friends. (dramatic expression O woe is me, said Harvey.

"Well as good as this conversation is, I have to be excused. Make sure he doesn't touch my food," said Raven pointing at Harvey as she left.

As soon as she was out hearing zone, the rest of the occupants at the table started talking about what to do for Raven's surprise birthday party coming up.

Terra: I think it should be something she is interested in the most.

Beastboy: A gothic palooza?

"No way," said Jinx. "It should be something fun not depressing. Besides we always go to those things every year. We need something new." (Author's note: do you think they should be classified as gothic or not? Comment on it)

"Isn't she into reading about epic battles, magic, and all that jazz," Harvey said.

"Your point," said Beastboy.

"Let the theme of the party be 'Let the Magic Guide You'. And we'd have all the mystical things we could think of."

" Smart thinking K.F. She would be so surprised," said Terra. Beastboy then felt a little jealous that Harvey was being praised by Terra.

"Alright. Now that we have a theme, where are we going to get this stuff from the real mystics are too expensive," said Jinx with her hand on her chin.

"I can try and pull a few strings. Kane will help too, since he asked us for the ideas," Terra said with hope.

Harvey states as a judge would, "So it is decided. We'll meet in my chambers at a later time today to excuse the verdict."

Beastboy then replies, "Dude, don't do that again. Anyways, I'll stay with Raven and make sure she doesn't catch on to us. I have ways of keeping her in the dark."

"Keeping me in the dark about what?"

Everyone turns around and sees Raven standing behind Beastboy looking annoyed. 'Oh crap.' Was what everyone was thinking.

Beastboy nervously says, "Huh? Me, keep you in the dark? Ha Ha ha. It was a joke you know. Since you always reading and stuff, you – um – get – lost in it. See."

Raven looks at Beastboy a little weird but then she dismisses it and says whatever. Then Terra intervenes and says it's time to leave. Everyone went their separate ways saying good bye. Unknown to them a great evil was being planned and was almost ready to be revealed.
