SURVIVING THE TITANS!
By: GhostAnn

Chapter Nine: Welcome!

Danny grabbed his seat making the car intangible, just seconds before the collision. As they fell out of the back of the truck; brand spanking new boxer shorts hanging off the cars bumpers and side mirrors; Danny let the seat go returning the car to normal, and Jazz moved quickly to the right side of the road. He glared at his sister. "ARE YOU INSANE?" He ripped a pair of red boxers off of his head.

"Sorry I-"

"You could have killed us!"

Jazz pulled slowly into the school the last boxer attached to her car slipping off. "Sorry Danny, I wasn't thinking."

"Apparently!" Danny snorted.

"I've been worried about you… it's got me all out of whack…"

Danny glanced at her sidewise, when she said this, then he sighed; filling guilty about yelling at her. "Jazz. Don't worry I've got everything under control. You'll see; the Teen Titans are nothing."

"It's not just the Titans." Jazz said as she parked next to the Titans T-car; Danny glanced at her confused. "It's the way you've been acting. Every now and then you're totally out of character, like last night."

"Last night?" Danny was lost.

"You snuck out, after the Titans got back from patrolling, remember. You told me to stay away, and stay out of your business, that I was…" She trailed off. "Well what you said was harsh, and it was, well, verbal."

"You mean I cussed?" Danny asked. "Are you sure you weren't dreaming, 'cause I never left the house after the Titans got back, and I don't usually cuss. You know that."

Jazz looked at him puzzled. "Bu-

"Knock! Knock!"

Danny and Jazz jumped.

"Hello!" Cyborg said waving through the window he'd banged on. "What's up?!"

Danny opened his door. "We're just talking." He said. "Jazz, we'll talk more later. Okay?"

"But… 'Kay." Jazz said slowly before taking her keys out of the car and fallowing Danny out. 'Please stay out of trouble till then.' She thought.


Casper High- Monday Morning:

"Well here we are." Jazz said as the Titans fallowed her and Danny up the steps to the high school.

Some one screamed. "IT'S THE TEEN TITANS!"

"Oh no." Cyborg said.

"RUN!" Beast Boy cried. "Crazed fan girls!" Then he stopped. "Wait! Fan girls!"

Then he got this whole French thing going on. "Come to me for I am a man of love." He did a thing with his eyebrows and Raven smacked him upside the head.

Beast Boy got the fan girls though as they tackled him Robin and Cyborg. Then boys began hitting on Raven and Starfire.

"You wana-

"No." Raven growled. "Touch me you die." She said as a boy attempted to put an arm around her.

"What is in the back?" Starfire asked confused when a boy asked if she wanted to go behind the school with him. "Why do you want my 'digits'?"

Things kind of kept escalating after that. "Too much attention!" Beast Boy cried trying to dig his way out of the sea of girls.

"History of Mathematics! What is going on here!?" Mr. Lancer, an overweight bald teacher yelled.

Everyone stopped but Robin and a few girls. "Give me my cape!" He ripped it out of their hands.

Some of them started to cry, but Robin just ignored them, as he smoothed out the cloth and brushed away dust.

Lancer glared at the student body. "Is this any way to treat our guest? Disperse, immediately!"

The crowd slowly dissipated with groans and moans of disappointment.

Robin expertly straitened out his hair rubbing hopelessly at a lipstick mark on his left cheek. "Sorry about…" He trailed off not sure what to call it.

"No, I'm sorry. I'm Mr. Lancer, English teacher, vice principle, and part time sub."

"Do you have a life?!" Beast Boy asked wide eyed.

Lancers eyes narrowed at the changeling. "Yes, well, I presume you're here to investigate?"

"Yes." Robin said. "Of cores we weren't expecting to be a distraction."

"That's all right. They'll settle down. I'll see to it." The way he said that sent chills down the Teen Titan's spines. Then in a more cheerful voice the teacher asked. "Would you like a tour of the school? I'm sure Jasmine wouldn't mind."

"Of course not." Jazz smiled.


"Hey guy's." Danny said when he entered his class and found Sam and Tucker there desks joined together, and Tucker messing with his PDA.

"Hey Danny." The two greeted.

"Did you hear about the mysteries robberies happing around town?" Tucker asked.

"No." Danny said as he took a seat.

"See, things disappear but no one see's anything, not even the cameras." Tucker said.

"Sounds ghostly if you ask me." Sam said.

"It does." Danny agreed.

"Look what I got off of the internet!" Tucker said showing Danny the screen of his PDA. "Its film from one of the robberies."

Danny looked at the divice as the video started, just as he said, it was at an artillery store and as the film ran, guns began vanishing one by one. Poof, poof. Soon they were all gone. "What would a ghost want with human guns?" Danny asked just before the bell rang.

"It's not just guns." Sam said taking her seat. "A computer store was robed, along with a bank, and the weirdest of all a pizza place."

"So it's a ghost who has a fetish for computers, money, and fast food. Hey, maybe it's related to Tucker!" Danny joked.

Tucker replied without humor. "Ha, ha."

"Who ever it is you better find them quick Danny." Sam whispered as the teacher walked in and began the class.

Danny nodded but, what kind of ghost needed human weapons, unless… Danny looked up suddenly. "Vlad."

"Danny?" The teacher said. "Is there something you want to share with the class?"

Danny glanced at his friend's worried just as his ghost since went off, but he couldn't even react as its cause appeared in the middle of the room.

Skulker.

"Boo." The ghost said lightly to the stunned kids and teacher, causing everyone to scream and leave the room, except for Danny, Tucker, and Sam of course. "Going Ghost!" Danny cried when the room cleared, and after his costume change he floated up to Skulker's level.

"We meet again ghost child!"

"What do you want?"

"My trophy of course, have you already forgotten my promise to rest your pelt at the foot of my bed?" Danny just looked broadly at the ghost. Skulker on the other hand grind as he activated a small gun that popped out of his arm. "Say good by child."

He fired a small red ray that Danny dodged as it cut into the ceiling. "New upgrade?" Danny asked a bit fearfully from behind the teacher's desk.

"New upgrade." Skulker confirmed cheerfully, kicking away the desk, as he switched weapons once again, to shoot a net at Danny. It caught him, and Danny screamed in pain as its wired ropes shocked him.

"Danny!" Sam and Tucker yelled.
