HEYA GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm alive and I've had SUAGR!!!!!!!! (And injuries to the knees and left hand…I've had enough head injuries to last me a lifetime!!)
Okay, I probably skipped some of the story but I couldn't think of anything to do for the next part of Cinderella…
I don't own Teen Titans or Cinderella!!! Heehee, did you know there's a fairytale called 'The Shadow'?? It's really weird…
Flare flicked through a fairytale book, trying to find Cinderella. Finding it, she skimmed over the storyline and growled. "Gah! All the versions are different!!" she exclaimed, throwing the book in some random direction.
However, Robin happened to be in that random direction and received a thick, hardback book to the face. He grumbled and picked it up. "Fairytales? What are you looking these up for?"
"Because I just am!" Flare answered, "I'm trying to think of the best way to portray the Fairy Godmother!" She sighed when the Titans gave her confused looks. "There are a few different versions of Cinderella; the same thing applies to the Fairy Godmother."
"Ohh…" The others chorused. Flare face palmed.
"Hey! If there are so many different versions then why not let me do my own version?" Bumblebee asked, hand on her hip and one eyebrow raised. Flare started blabbering gibberish as she tried to explain why. The Titans watched in amusement.
"Oh, fine," she finally gave in. "Go on then! Start the scene! Remember, Starfire, or Cinderella, is upset because any hope of her going to the ball has been dashed by her step sisters." Flare snapped the crocodile thingy (I forgot what they're called) "Take one!"
The super-powered teens scattered to get to their places or just get somewhere off set. On stage was Starfire in a torn, warm-toned lilac dress. She was sitting on, what looked like, a stone bench and had her face buried in her arms, pretending to be crying.
Suddenly, a dark skinned girl walked on, wearing a glittering golden dress with a matching cloak and crown. In one hand she held a small, silver wand with a gold star on it, and her other hand was on her hip. However, before she could draw in the breath to deliver her line, Flare shouted, "CUT!!"
Starfire and Bumblebee sighed and looked at her questioningly. "What? We haven't even done anything yet!" the latter complained.
"Well, it's just I think your entrance needs to be more…dramatic…" Flare explained.
"And just how do you expect me to do that?"
"Uhh…" Flare looked around the room, stumped. Suddenly, a wave of inspiration hit her. "Ooh!! Robin, why don't you use one of you explody disk things? That might work!"
Robin stepped back. "What explody disks are you talking about? I don't have any explody disks…"
"But Robin," Starfire said, standing up and regarding him with confusion, ignoring the frantic hand gestures Robin was giving her to get her to stop talking. "You do possess the disks that do the exploding. You used one of them just yesterday!"
"Ya see!" Flare grinned. "You do! So…hand one over…"
Grudgingly, he reached into his belt and pulled out a black and yellow disk and handed it to Flare who took it gleefully. "Okay…how do I use this?"
The Titans face-palmed.
"You throw it…" Robin explained, "and it explodes…"
"You mean like this?" Flare chucked the disk in some random direction and a great big beam of light shot up from where it landed.
"Yes…like that…"
"Actually…I don't like that, it doesn't look quite right…"
A bit later, after trying out Raven, Cyborg, Jinx, Argent and Hotspot, Flare was beginning to wonder if they were ever going to get through the scene.
"Ooh!! Bumblebee…" Flare started, a sneaky smirk forming on her face. "You have those stingers…right?"
"Uhh…yeah…"
"Well, can you, say, ?" she asked in a rush. Bumblebee blinked.
"Uhh…what?"
Flare took a deep breath and repeated what she had said, "?"
Bumblebee sighed. "No…can you say it again, but slower…"
"Can you let someone else borrow them so they can make a cool effect with them?"
She looked down at her stingers and frowned. "Why should I?"
Flare deadpanned and motioned for her to stay still. She ran over to the prop cupboard and returned with a shovel. "Because if you don't then I shall use the shovel."
"Uh-huh, that's really threatening…"
Flare looked down at her shovel sadly. "B-but, it's a sh-shovel…"
"And…?"
Flare pouted and sulked off to put the shovel back where she had 'found' it. She soon returned and gave Bumblebee a puppy-eyed look. "Please!"
"No."
"Please!"
"No."
It went on like that for a while before Robin decided to speak, much to the annoyance to the other Titans who were finding the conversation very entertaining.
"Bumblebee just let her have the stingers…" he commanded. Bumblebee looked like she was about to retort something back but decided against it, instead opting for handing Flare the stingers with a 'Break them and you die' look. Flare just grinned and handed them to Robin.
"Here, you can use them!"
"What?"
"What? I don't know how to use them! All you've got to do is use them to make a cool flashy effect when I signal you to! Okay, let's try it!"
She snapped the crocodile thingy again and called out, "Take seven!" as everyone scrambled into position. Again, Starfire was 'crying' into her arms on the stone bench. Suddenly, a fork of lightning struck a girl in a golden dress as she came on, burning her to a crisp. Flare sighed. "Cut…"
Bumblebee glared at Robin. "Ow! What was that for?"
"Hey! I didn't mean to!" Robin defended, holding his hand out defensively and stepping backwards.
"Uhh…let's try again!" Flare said, ushering Bumblebee off stage. "Take eight!"
For the eighth time that day, Starfire pretended to cry into her arms on a fake stone bench. Again, there were some bright flashes of, what appeared to be, lightning, and a golden clad girl walked on stage.
"Hey, what's up with you?" she enquired in a slightly bored voice.
"Oh, who are you?" Starfire asked, looking up in shock.
"I'm your Fairy Godmother. You want to go to the ball so let me give you a dress," she said, waving her wand around.
"Uhh…" Starfire faltered. She hadn't remembered those lines in the script, "I, uhh…yes! That would be most helpful!"
"Yeah, yeah, okay, bippity boppity boo. Don't you look pretty! Okay, there's a coach behind that tree," she jabbed her thumb over her shoulder. "Make sure you're home by midnight 'cause that's when this stuff will go poof…have a nice day."
The Titans looked over at Flare, waiting for her to yell, 'CUT!' and make them do the scene again. They were, however, very shocked to see her watching the action with interest, a thoughtful look on her face.
Bumblebee then sauntered off stage again, walked over to the camera and pressed a button to make it stop recording. "And I am not doing that again."
Flare nodded absent-mindedly, lost in her own thoughts. "I…I like it!"
The Titans stared back at Flare, dumbfounded wide eyed. She had…liked it? Not one scene had gone so far in without Flare yelling 'CUT!', and Bumblebee was obviously not putting her all into it, so you can imagine how flabbergasted they were. Flare stared back and blinked. "What?"
"Uh…nothing!" Kid Flash said nervously. He looked back at the stage where Starfire was just hovering, wandering what to do, "Um, well actually…shouldn't Star be wearing that now?" he gestured to a chair on which a purple and silver dress was laying.
"Oh yeah…" Flare frowned. "I hadn't thought about that…hmm…I know!" She grabbed the dress and ran up some stairs to small area above the stage where all the lights and such were. "Kid Flash!" she called. "Get up here!"
The speedster looked at his fellow Titans before zipping up the stairs. "Uhh…yeah?"
"Can you go get some of that stuff…"
"What stuff?"
"You know, the clear thread stuff…"
"Uhh…"
"Just go!" Flare shoved him on his way and started adjusting the position of one of the lights, currently not being used.
After a few seconds he returned with the clear thread stuff and handed the reel to Flare who attached it to the label in the dress. She handed him the reel, with the dress hanging off the thread, and told him, "Okay, when Bumblebee says 'Bippity Boppity Boo' start lowering the dress. Beast Boy!"
Beast Boy looked up fearfully and, trembling, saluted her. "Yes?"
"Get up here! You have a job!"
He trudged up the stairs and waited for orders. Flare pointed to switch on a board with lots of other switches on.
"Basically, you need to press this when Bumblebee says 'Bippity Boppity Boo'."
"Okay, I can do that!"
Flare gave them both looks and walked back down. "Okay, let's do that again! But this time, Bumblebee, you need to pause slightly after the 'Bippity Boppity Boo' so the dress can get down…POSITIONS EVERYONE!! TAKE NINE!"
Again, everyone went into their positions. Starfire fake cried on the fake bench, Robin did the flashes of light and Bumblebee came on again.
"Hey, what's up with you?" Bumblebee asked.
Starfire looked up in shock. "Oh, who are you?"
While this was going on, Beast Boy was looking around the upstairs area. He found a small tub labelled 'fairy dust' and got an idea.
"Yeah, yeah, okay, bippity boppity boo." Bumblebee paused and looked up as a bright light beamed down to centre stage, just next to Starfire, and a purple dress started descending upon them, someone from above started singing the 'hallelujah' chorus slightly out of tune while someone else threw down handfuls of multicoloured sparkles. Everyone watched with fascination. Suddenly, Bumblebee squealed in pain and covered her eyes with her hand.
"Ah! Who's chucking down that messed up glitter? It's getting in my eyes!"
Starfire was having similar problems. "Ow, the light is so bright, and the powder of sparkles is most irritating to my eyes."
Flare groaned and stomped back up the stairs. "Alright, what's going on?"
"Eep!" Kid Flash and Beast Boy squeaked. The former dived behind something, leaving the other to face Flare's wrath. However, in his panic, he grabbed a fistful of sparkly dust and blew it in Flare's face, shouting, "EAT PIXIE DUST!"
Flare screamed in pain as she tried to rub the dust out of her eyes, though only succeeded in making it more annoying and agonising. "AHH! THE PAIN! MY EYES!!"
"Now you're in for it…" Kid Flash whispered to Beast Boy before whizzing down the stair and crashing into Jinx. "Uhh…heheheh…hello Jinxie…"
She growled and shoved him off her. "Don't call me that…"
"Heheh…" he laughed nervously. Jinx just glared and stalked off.
Robin, meanwhile, had run over to Starfire. "Are you okay?"
"Robin? Where are you?" Starfire asked, rubbing her eyes whilst Robin's widened in shock. Starfire took her hand away from her face and blinked a few times. She squinted at Robin through half closed eyes. "Oh, I am able to view you now."
Robin sighed in relief and wiped a few bits of sparkly dust from her face. Starfire smiled and moved a bit closer. Robin leant forward slightly. She slowly started closing her eyes as their faces drew nearer until…
"AHH!!!" Beast Boy screamed as he fell off the upstairs area, having been backing away from Flare but accidently walking off the edge. He landed right in between Starfire and Robin, both of whom were blushing bright red. "Uhh…sorry guys…" he said.
Flare soon came tumbling down the stairs, hands over her eyes, and landed in a heap on the floor. "Ow…"
After a while, when they had gotten the glitter out of their eyes, Flare told them to get back into position. "Why'd I give those jobs to the boys?" she asked herself, calling Jinx and Raven up to do Kid Flash and Beast Boy's jobs. "Okay! Take ten!"
This time, the scene went through smoothly, without off-tune hallelujahs or fairy dust of doom. Flare sighed in relief as she pressed a button on the camera and leant back in her chair. "Okay…good…let's go to the next scene! Everyone, get your ballroom outfits on!"
Robin, Beast Boy, Raven, Cyborg, Kid Flash, Jinx, Hotspot and Argent all groaned and moaned. Flare rolled her eyes and pointed to the changing rooms. "Make sure you get the right outfits!" she added to Jinx and Argent who where eyeing the pile of dresses from the shopping scene. They scowled and picked up the vibrant dresses they had to wear and trudged into the changing rooms. Starfire, Jericho and Kole didn't seem that bothered as they also went to the changing rooms, mainly because their clothes were actually quite nice and Jericho had no voice to complain with. Bumblebee wasn't complaining either as she wasn't in the scene at all.
Flare just grinned and went to set up the new set, brimming over with excitement.
