Oh no! I forgot to add 'what happened in the last chapter' in chapter 5! Sorry! But they don't really do much help...anyway! Here's the chapter and be honest guys...I am updating faster, aren't I? Please review! Or....I might stop updating quickly! *crowd gasps*
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans
"Hey! What about me? You never let me have a turn!" Richard said, annoyed.
"You can go later Richard. I'll make sure you get a go first." Kori said, smiling at him. Richard softened and said:
"Ok fine." Before Vic or Gar could comment of Richard's immediate change of reaction, little lumps of plaster came down from the ceiling and there was a big crash from outside.
The five of them stopped themselves from moving any further towards the door. They simultaneously looked at each other and slowly turned their heads to face the window. Nothing was there apart from a classic, hand lookalike tree branch.
"What was that?" Kori whispered.
"I have no idea, dudes...let's see." Gar moved himself towards the window and looked through it.
"I can't see anything." Gar declared after a few seconds and he turned around. He noticed that the four others were looking scared and frightened all of a sudden.
"What's the matter dudes? I haven't turned into a vampire, have I?" Gar asked. Richard shook his head and pointed to the window. Gar, confused as he already checked it, turned around and suddenly screamed.
"Ahh!" he screamed. He was looking at a crazed, scary, horrific, terrifying, mad-mad looking, drooling, obsessed...girl. A girl with blonde pig-tails even though she looked older than eight.
"It's the girl from my P.E. class and Maths class!" Richard yelled. "She's stalking me!"
"She's what?!" Kori gasped.
"Man...she's one crazy girl!" That girl of which Vic was talking about was looking at Richard hungrily. Not that she wanted to eat him of course, she was just very obsessed with him and his spiked hair.
"Dudes! Ok! Don't open the window!" Gar instructed.
"What makes you think we'll do that?" Rachel said. "We need her to get off the window or she'll get hurt."
"I don't honestly care what happens to her!" Richard said. "Ok, I'm going to get Alfred to make her go away."
"Um...why can't you make her go away?" Vic asked questionably.
"Are you kidding?! I'll be ripped to shreds!" And with that, Richard left the room to find Alfred. When he'd gone, Rachel commented:
"Honestly, he's acting like she's a hungry lion or something." Rachel said.
"Well, you've got the hungry part right." Gar said. "And you'd be scared too if someone...something...like that was stalking you!"
"Girls these days." Rachel said. "Can they get any more obsessed?"
"Before you know it, she'll try to get into Richard's bathroom when he's taking a shower." Vic smirked and he and Gar laughed. Kori didn't of course.
"She...if she does she'll be wishing she was never born..." Kori said scathingly.
"Chill, Kori! I was joking!" Vic said. Before he could make a comment about Kori and Richard, Alfred and Richard came in.
"Richard, please tell what's the hassle?" Alfred asked in his strong British accent. (A/N You rock Alfred!)
"There's...there's a girl at the window!" Richard explained.
"A girl? At the window? Do not mean 'at the door'?" Alfred asked.
"No! Alfred, there's some stalker girl from my class at the window!" Richard protested. "Look!" He pointed to the girl who was still clinging onto the window. Alfred looked at her and then looked baffled.
"How is she staying on there?" he said.
"Maybe she's Spidergirl." Gar said. "In disguise."
"Of course." Rachel said sarcastically. "She's Spidergirl."
"Can you get rid of her Alfred?" Richard asked. "I'd get rid of her myself but she'll probably rip me in half."
"Let me see." Alfred said and walked across to the window. He squinted at the girl who wasn't changing her expression. The other five silently watched and anticipated what Alfred was going to do about this girl. He started knocking on the window hard and he yelled: "Excuse me! Would you mind getting off the window? You're making Richard feel uncomfortable." Her expression now changed to a 'huh?' look. She didn't seem to hear him. He repeated himself only to receive the same look. After five tries, Alfred gave up.
"Master Richard, I think I should call the Police as they can get rid of her more expertly." Alfred suggested.
"Don't worry Alfred. I've got an idea." Richard marched to the window and the girl suddenly looked delighted. She watched him in awe as he reached for the window handle slowly and...opened it as quickly as he possibly could. It seemed to work and he could hear faint screaming. Alfred was shocked.
"Master Richard! Why on earth did you do that?" Alfred asked. "The girl might be seriously hurt!"
"I won't worry about her Alfred." Richard said. "She's a really big fat nuisance."
"Way to go man!" Vic cheered. "I wonder how many bones she's broken!"
"Why are you fantasying if she's hurt or not?" Kori asked.
"Hey! You were the one going on about that if you got hold of her then you'd-"
"Um, may we have dinner now?" Kori interrupted before Gar could finish.
"Yes of course." Alfred said, nodding. Just after he said that, the doorbell rang.
"I wonder who that could be?" Alfred said to himself. Alfred then went downstairs to answer it while the others stayed upstairs.
** ** ** ** **
Alfred walked towards the large front doors of Wayne Mansion and he opened it quite easily, despite the fact it looked quite heavy. He was very shocked at who was there.
"Excuse me, but if you're wondering Master Richard isn't having a party today." Alfred said.
"His name's Robin!" one girl yelled, pushing towards the front of a very, very large group of people. She was the exact girl who Richard supposedly flung off the window.
"Are you not the girl who Master Richard got rid of quite vigorously?"
"His name's Robin...not 'Master Richard'!" the girl scoffed. "What kinda stupid name is that? It was so romantic when he flung me off the window..."
"I see...well I don't think Master Richard-"
"Oh, shut up old man!" the girl said rather rudely but Alfred wasn't the person who got offended easily. "I'm going to find Robin whether you like it or not!" the girl pushed past Alfred and walked in the house.
"Hey! You guys can come too!" the girl yelled. There was suddenly a large flurry of people, barging to get in. Alfred was shoved as everyone entered the mansion. Shocked and furious, Alfred picked up the phone and started dialing a number.
** ** ** ** **
Meanwhile....
"Ok dudes, do you think we should go down now?" Gar asked. "I'm starving!"
"Wait..." Richard said and pressed his ear to the closed Game Room door. The others copied. They could hear loud stomping and shouting. People were yelling: "This doesn't look like Titans Tower!" and "Where's Robin's room?" and "Let's see how stinky Beast Boy's room is!"
"Don't these guys take a hint?" Vic muttered. "Why'd Alfred let them in?"
"Oh man..." Richard groaned. "Stupid fangirls..."
"Do you honestly think that those obsessed fans would listen to Alfred? They probably pushed past him." Rachel said.
"Dude, we need to escape somehow! Those girls are gonna pummel us to a pulp with their petrifying pens and pencils of problems!" Gar yelled. "Hey! Alteration!"
"Why can't they understand that we're not those people on the T.V. show? We're not even wearing those funny costumes they were." Kori said.
"Well I'm not really going to think about why they're chasing us now. All I want to do is escape...from my own home..." Richard said.
"They're still up on this floor." Rachel said. "How long do you'll think they'll stay here?"
"'Til they find the 'Teen Titans' I guess." Richard said. "Ok...let's go out there and run for our lives."
"Ok dude. I guess that's the only way..." Gar said. He took a deep breath. "Prepare for suffocation."
"Ok..." The five of them lined up at the door. "On the count of three, we crash down this door and run like our lives depend on it." Richard instructed.
"Well our lives do depend on it." Vic said.
"Ok...1...2-"
"Wait!" Gar said.
"What?" Richard asked, irritated.
"Do we go on three or do we go when you say 'go'?" asked Gar.
"When I say GO!" Richard yelled annoyed. "Ok...1...2...3...GO!" As soon as he said 'go' they pushed with all their might onto the door which crashed down onto the floor. Then they started running. Richard obviously led the way as he knew this place from the back of his hand. They were nearing Richard's room and Richard noticed the door was open.
"Someone's in my room!" he yelled. "Ok, they're getting out right now!"
"Dude! Wait!" Gar shouted but Richard had already marched into the room. He froze when he saw who was in the room and what they were doing. The girl from the Basketball game, maths class, stuck on Vic's car window and the game room's window was...looking through Richard's drawers. She wasn't looking through the T-shirts or the jeans or the jackets or whatever...but his underwear drawer.
"Oh my gosh!" she squealed, completely oblivious he was there.
"Dude, get out of the room!" Gar hissed peeping in. "Wait, is that the girl from the...dude WHY'S SHE LOOKING THROUGH YOUR UNDERWEAR DRAWER!?!?!?!?" Gar shouted. The other three entered because of Gar's outburst and the girl gasped and turned around. You'd think she'd be embarrassed and red in the face but instead she had a big smile.
"Oh hi Robin! It's nice to see you take your mask off once in and a while!" the girl said. Richard was positively ready to kill this girl. But he was like that, imagine...
"WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING LOOKING THROUGH RICHARD'S UNDERWEAR!" Kori screamed. "You stupid idiotic-!"
"Oh, it's you." The girl said. "Well it looks like I got it here first."
"What is she talkin' about?" Vic whispered.
"Bad move...bad move...." Gar muttered. "Ok, let's go and stop Kori from strangling that girl."
"OH MY GOSH YOU BETTER GET READY TO DIE!" Kori lunged but Gar and Vic were holding her back and Richard was just shocked at the whole situation. Rachel went over to the girl, picked her up by the scruff of the neck and placed her outside Richard's room. Then she closed the door and turned to Kori.
"Why did you just do that?" Gar asked.
"So Kori doesn't kill her." Rachel said. "I'm privately finding this amusing."
"Why was she so annoyed?" Richard asked, completely oblivious of something everyone knew about. Rachel decided she wouldn't tell him that Kori liked her as she probably would want to tell him herself when the time was right.
"You know Kori, she gets mad at anyone who upsets someone." Rachel said. "And that obviously made you pretty upset and angry so Kori was angry at the girl. You remember the time in 2nd grade when Kori was mad at the boy who stole Gar's biscuit..."
"Wait, wasn't that you?" Richard said. Rachel widened her eyes in realisation.
"Y-yeah...but you know what I mean." Rachel said. "Let's get out of here before another fan finds us."
"Yes we should!" Kori said a little too loudly and barged out the door. They'd completely forgotten the girl was still there. Yes. She was waiting for them to come out. All five of them jumped when they saw her and were punching themselves for their stupidity.
"Hi." The girl said, looking at Richard. "Remember me?"
"Um..."
"Ok, let's skip all the talking...Robin will you go out with me?" she asked and she flipped back her hair like snobby girls like Kitten did to make themselves look more attractive. Man, this girl was really stupid.
"Doesn't the guy usually ask the girl out?" Gar inquired.
"No thanks whatever-your-name-is and I've got to go!" Richard and the others ran off in a puff of smoke.
** ** ** ** **
The five of them ran down the stairs and towards Alfred who was still picking himself up.
"Alfred! Alfred!" Richard yelled. "Can I have the key?" The others had no idea what he was talking about and exchanged glances. But Alfred seemed to understand.
"Master Richard, why on earth are there people running around looking through all the cabinets and looking under the sofas?" Alfred asked. "Is this your way of partying these days?"
"Long story short Alfred: We're somehow celebrities and those are our obsessed-with-Teen-Titans-fans." Richard said. "Can I just please have the key? I know I haven't used that place in a long time."
"Yes...nine years in fact." Alfred said. He went over to a small cabinet and then took out a key from his trouser pocket. Then he inserted the key in a lock on one of the compartments and he opened the drawer. He picked out a rusty looking key and handed it to Richard.
"Here it is, Master Richard. I think I should call Master Bruce and ask him to somehow sort out this mess..." Alfred said. "Oh dear..." he handed Richard the key and Richard walked out the front doors, beckoning the others to follow him.
"Dude, what's that key for?" Gar asked. "It's all old..."
"I'll show you." Richard said. They started walking around the house and into the back garden which was extremely extravagant and beautiful. They occasionally ducked so they wouldn't be seen by the crazy fanatics and soon enough, the entered the back garden. Because of the situation, neither Gar nor Vic commented on the scenery and Richard led them to a tree. It appeared to be like ordinary trees expect it had some sort of small abode nestling in between the branches. It was bigger than average tree houses and appeared to be strong enough to hold all five of them but only just.
"So this is a tree house?" Rachel asked. "Why do you have a tree house? With a lock?"
"I asked for a lock to be fitted in." Richard replied. "Are you guys ready?"
"For what?" Gar asked, raising an eyebrow.
"To climb." Richard said and he started climbing swiftly. The tree trunk had knobbles to put your feet on and Richard climbed in almost no time at all which caused him to get a few stares from the people below.
"That was...fast." Vic commented. "Ok, I'll go next." Despite the size of Vic's muscles, he seemed to get up easily enough. He was extremely sporty and was captain of the school's soccer team. Gar decided to climb next. He got up eventually and then Rachel started climbing up.
"Don't look scared Rachel; I'll catch you if you fall." Gar reassured.
"I'm not scared." Rachel said firmly but couldn't help feeling happier that Gar seemed to care about her. She reached the top too and Vic (who took the key of Richard) was already inside the tree house.
"This is a pretty nice place man...for a tree house anyway." Vic's voice yelled from inside. Gar entered inside too as well as Rachel. Kori stared up at the tree and she was looking very scared.
"Kori, what's wrong?" Richard asked concerned.
"I...I'm scared." She said timidly and felt stupid for saying that.
"It's ok Kori; I'll go down there and help you up." Richard said and he started climbing down. Kori wanted to protest as she didn't want to feel like a baby for being scared to climb up but Richard already got down.
"Ok, so one foot at a time." Richard instructed. Kori gingerly put her feet on the little knobbles of the tree.
"I was never good at rock climbing." She said.
"It doesn't matter." Richard said. Kori started going up and she was feeling so proud of herself as she wasn't even on any ropes or anything. Suddenly, she missed her footing and she lost grip to the tree trunk altogether. I'm going to die! She screamed inside her head. She expected hard impact, but instead felt herself in strong arms. (Guess who).
"Where...why am I not on the floor?" Kori asked confused.
"Because I caught you, Kori. You don't need to be so worried." Richard said and he was right. Kori smiled up at him and after a few moments she said:
"You can let me down now."
"Oh." Richard blushed and let Kori down. She started climbing again, reassuring herself that Richard would be there if she fell. She finally made her way to the top and then Richard copied and climbed up but only much quicker.
"Um...thanks for catching me..." Kori said nervously.
"It's alright." Richard said just as nervously. Then they both entered. There was a battery lamp lit in the corner and surprisingly, there was a T.V. too! There were also cushions laid out everywhere and an old, tattered notebook which was covered in dust. Well, everything was covered with dust but the air for outside swept some of it away.
"This is a really cool place dude!" Gar said, relaxing on the cushions. "You didn't tell me you had a tree house!" Richard shrugged.
"I didn't think it was important. I stopped using it ages ago." Then Richard locked the door and shut the curtains (well pieces of cloth on some hung up string).
"Those fans will never find us here!" Vic said. "Great thinking, Rich."
"Why did you make this tree house?" Rachel asked.
"When Bruce had just adopted me...I didn't like it here very much." Richard said. "So I came up here and...I just made myself secluded from everyone." Richard didn't say anything else and the others didn't press on it as they knew this was a touchy subject. Instead, Vic started talking about the T.V.
"Does it have cable? Then we can watch Teen Titans, y'all!" Vic said. He looked at his watch. "It's almost seven!"
"You're thinking about Teen Titans when that show is the exact reason we're up here?" Rachel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What? It's a good show!" Gar defended. "So does it have cable, Rich?"
"Yep." Richard answered and he lay back onto the cushions. Gar switched the T.V. on which was a bit small for their liking. He switched it to the channel with Teen Titans.
"Hey, how did you get a T.V. in here anyway?" Gar asked. "There's no electrical current!"
"Well, I got Bruce to get me a battery powered T.V. with a laptop." Richard explained.
"I never knew there was such thing." Kori said.
"I didn't think so either, but Bruce got one anyway." Richard said.
"Ssh! Teen Titans starting!" Gar hushed. All of them looked at the screen.
On the T.V.
The screen was fuzzy at first but then it became clear and a logo appeared on the screen. A woman started talking about the Hive academy and then three people came up on a platform. The woman continued to describe their many talents while they demonstrated.
"...and for the right price. This ideal team can be yours." The screen fuzzed again but then it settled on the logo and an old woman came up.
"Well, Mr. Slade?" she got a reply from someone in the shadows and when they did a close up of him, it still wasn't enough to recognise who he was.
"...they'll have to pass one final exam. Destroy the Teen Titans."
"Dude, no!" Gar whispered. "Man this dude is evil!"
"Ssh!" the others sshed. The screen went black and then the theme tune started playing.
"This is a really rubbish theme tune." Richard commented. "Hey look! There's my face!"
"Dude all our faces are on there! Expect mines green..."
"They're exactly like those people we saw when we went to that dimension." Kori said thoughtfully. "Of course, they are the Teen Titans anyway."
"Rich's right. The theme tune does need a bit of work." Vic said. "It's starting!"
On the screen, the room was extremely messy and Cyborg was lifting up a sofa while Beast Boy was looking over at the CD racks.
"Hey, that looks like your casual lounge!" Gar pointed out.
"I don't believe this! How could you lose the remote?" Cyborg yelled.
"What makes you so sure I lost it?" Beast Boy replied.
"Err, because your you!"
"Hey! Just because I lost that video game!" Cyborg started listing a whole lot of other items Beast Boy had lost and they started arguing.
"That's me and Gar alright." Vic chuckled. "Wait! How'd they know we do that?"
"Ssh!"
Raven started to get annoyed so she shut her book and stood up.
"Simple. You just get up and change the channel."
"Don't even joke like that." Cyborg replied, narrowing his eyes.
"I wasn't joking."
"Good, 'cos it wasn't funny!" Raven was irritated now and mumbled something about pointless argument. Then Robin and Starfire came in.
"And that is the secret for travelling faster than light." She said and then she gasped when she saw that Cyborg and Beast Boy were arguing.
"You can travel faster than light?" Richard asked Kori, interested.
"No, this is a T.V. show," Kori said, laughing.
"Whoa! Take it easy Titans! Combat Practice is this afternoon!" Robin said.
"We must mend your dispute by the sharing of unhealthy junk foods. I shall fetch them." Starfire said and walked over to the fridge. She opened it and inside was disgusting, blue covered food.
"That's disgusting." Rachel commented.
Some scenes later...
The Titans were fighting the Hive five after they set up bait for them by surprise.
"Dude! They're losing!" Gar said. "Look behind you! He's attaching a rocket on your back!!!"
"I know him!" Vic suddenly said, pointing to a short person on the T.V. screen. "He was that dude we saw when we went to that dimension, and he goes to our school! He keeps hacking into the school's computer systems...man...this show is really accurate!"
"Look! Richard fell to his doom!" Gar suddenly said.
"I what?!" Richard said, looking at the screen. "I don't think he's dead...they won't kill people after the first few episodes." Then the adverts came on.
"I've got to say, this show is pretty good." Rachel commented. "And I don't watch many shows."
"I agree." Kori nodded. "Though, the adverts take ages."
"I don't want to know about shampoo!" Vic yelled at the T.V. After a few minutes the shows started again.
Raven and Beast Boy walked into the main hall with Beast Boy limping.
"That didn't just happen...tell me that didn't just happen..." Beast Boy said as she sat down on a chair.
"It did happen. We cannot change the truth, no matter how much we dislike it." Raven said. She noticed Beast Boy was rubbing his leg so she started healing them with her powers.
"Who knew we had a doctor in the house? Thanks." Beast Boy said.
"No problem." Raven replied.
"You two are flirting!" Kori giggled.
"No we're not!" Rachel said defensively.
"Maybe y'all should call me Flyborg. Iwas halfway to Gotham City before Star zapped that thing off my back. So what'd I miss?" Cyborg noticed the sad look on Raven's and Beast Boy's faces.
"Tell me how we kicked their butts. Come on, I gotta have the play-by-play." Cyborg continued.
"Where is Robin?" Starfire asked.
"Of course she worries about him." Vic mumbled under his breath.
"What was that, Vic?" Richard asked.
"Nothing!"
"Um Star? We're not sure." Beast Boy said uncertainly.
"Not sure? Why are you not-"
"We searched everywhere. All we found was this." Raven held up Robin's utility belt which made Starfire gasp in horror and Cyborg groan.
"I shoulda been there. I let that kid sneak up on me and-what was I-? It was a trap, and I-I shoulda known." He said to himself.
"I do not understand! How could you not find him? People do not just vanish! He has to be someplace so go there and look!" Starfire's voice got louder and louder.
"Easy, Star. Come on. This is Robin we're talking about. I'm sure he's fine. He'll probably turn up any second." Beast Boy reassured. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Awesome timing!"
"Robin!" Starfire said and started walking towards the door which suddenly exploded and burst open. In came the three bad guys from before.
"Isn't that Jenn?" Rachel pointed out.
"I thought she'd be a good guy!" Gar said.
"Well, she did used to be a bully before..." Kori said.
"Ssh! I want to see what happens next!"
The Titans split up and the battle begun. They went to different areas of the building, which didn't stop the trio from finding them and defeating them.
Gar, Richard and Vic started shouting at the T.V. with stuff like: "Behind you!" and "Watch out!" Rachel kept silent and just rolled her eyes when they did shout at the T.V. Then it came the time where the Titans were kicked out of their own house!
"Hey! The good guys don't lose!" Gar said indignantly.
"Keep watching!"
"But you are so damaged and-" Starfire said but she was cut off by Cyborg.
"I said I got it!" he snapped.
"Hey! She only wanted to help! What is your problem?" Beast Boy said.
"What do you think? We got kicked out of our house, a pint-size Poindexter took me for a joyride, and in case you haven't noticed, I just became left-handed!" Cyborg yelled.
"Enough! We need to control our emotions!" Raven said.
"Or what? Our bad vibes will keep you from meditating?"
"I wish Robin were here." Starfire said.
"Well he's not! Don't you guys get it? They won, we lost. IT'S OVER!!"
"Then...the Teen Titans are finished?" Beast Boy said.
"Not yet." A voice said. The Titans turned around. Robin was standing there and appeared to be in some sort of spotlight.
"Not if I can help it."
"That's so corny." Richard commented.
"You just said you're corny." Gar said.
"No, I said Robin was corny! There's a difference." Richard said. The rest of the show was how the Teen Titans beat the Hive and when it ended, Vic turned off the T.V.
"Well, that was a nice break from real life." Vic said.
"That looked like real life to me Vic." Rachel said. "We really need to find out why they look like us."
"Well, for now I'm just worried those fans haven't found us." Gar said. He opened the makeshift curtains and looked out.
"Nope. I think Bruce got rid of them somehow." Gar said.
"I swear...I've heard someone called Slade before..." Richard said. "But I just can't put my finger on it."
"Well, dude, I haven't heard of him." Gar said unhelpfully. Richard glared at him and then suddenly, his phone started ringing. He got it out and said 'Hello?' the others listened in to try and hear what was being said. Then he ended the call and the others waited for him to say who he was talking to.
"That was Alfred. He said Bruce got rid of the fans." Richard said.
"Dude, how'd he do that?" Gar asked, surprised.
"I really don't know..." Richard said. "He didn't say. But I guess this means it's safe to go down now."
"Great y'all, cos it's past seven and I haven't had dinner yet!" Vic said.
"Yeah, I need some tofu!" Gar said.
"How can you eat that stuff?" Vic asked him. "It's gross!"
"You've never tried it!"
"I don't want to try it thank you very much!" the two of them continued arguing their pointless argument which we would be how Rachel would put it. They made their way down the tree and then started walking back to Richard's Mansion.
Sorry if this didn't live up to your expectations! Especially the end...I was just eager to finish it! Please tell me ways to get better but only constructive criticism!
