What kind of Harajuku store would Raven wander into?
"Troubled Titans in Tokyo"
—My Kind of Store—
TWO
Robin looked at Raven, unable to believe that she had just uttered those words. "Really?" He asked in disbelief. Raven nodded in response, but she was a little bit taken aback. Why was he looking at her like she was the monster from "Wicked Scary" come to haunt him? What she said wasn't that unusual. Was it?
"Is the world ending again?" He reflexively grabbed his bo staff from his utility belt. You know, just in case.
Did he really just ask that? Raven sighed. "No," she said firmly, "that is, unless there is something you have yet to tell me." She tried to end this unnerving interrogation with a little bit of humor. Well, as much humor as Raven could do.
"But seriously?" Robin asked, refusing to let it go. "Harajuku?"
Silently Raven nodded her head.
"Shopping?"
Again a nod.
"Shopping at Harajuku?"
Another nod followed by a sigh.
"Harajuku's shopping district?"
Raven growled in exasperation. "If you ask one more time, it's your head that's going to be rolling!" Did Raven just grow two additional red eyes?
Robin, now convinced that his teammate hadn't been cloned and replaced, relaxed and smiled in humor. "No thanks. I like my head where it is."

And so, the Teen Titans walked towards the main street of Harajuku. Robin at first thought of the team going as civilians. Being Tokyo's personal heroes as of yesterday may have triggered their fans into becoming fanatics at the sight of them.
But, seeing as they had no civilian clothes with them, Robin decided they would have to travel to the Harajuku district in their uniforms. Go figure.
They soon found they didn't have to worry about being incognito. As they turned onto the main street of the Harajuku district, they almost lost sight of one another. They soon spotted a wave of walking traffic lights, Goths in leotards, and faux redheads in purple miniskirts walking up and down the street.
"Whoa," was all Cyborg could think or say. How in the world did these people get their costumes so fast? They only saved the city the day before. . . "I guess you can never underestimate the Japanese and their love of cosplay." Robin said.
"Dude!" Beast Boy said as he pointed at a 'Robin'. They all looked where he was pointing, (disregarding that it was impolite to point). "You're a girl!" The she-Robin had short black hair and wore a costume almost identical to the real Robin's. Well, except that she was wearing a green miniskirt and her utility belt was slightly crooked.
"What is with all these girls and their obsession with wearing miniskirts?" Robin asked no one in general. He didn't suspect someone would retort.
"Why? I'm not complaining!" Of course, that one would be Cyborg who was enjoying the sight perhaps a bit too much. Robin gave him a look and they started walking down the street again, hoping they wouldn't see a female Cyborg. Or, as equally disturbing, a male Starfire. They shuddered at the thought.
Weaving in and out of the crowd, they followed Raven. She obviously knew where she was going. How she knew was a question no one dared to ask, although the four of them wondered. Eventually, they ended their little excursion in front of a . . . store. A clothes store.
Robin just looked at the store in front of them. The whole front of the store was open as if it were dollhouse. Which brought Robin to another thought. "When you said you wanted to go shopping in Harajuku, I didn't think you'd pick a store that puts Hot Topic to shame. . ." Yes, the store was completely filled with racks and racks of blue and black clothes with buckles and skulls as decoration. It was definitely a Gothic wonder. So, why wouldn't a half-demon want to be here?
Raven just raised her eyebrow.
That was the only response Robin needed. You don't mess with a half-demoness and her choice of clothing.

A/N: Well, that was awfully quick. I thought it might take a bit longer, but I'm stuck on "Vacation Troubles". So, here's another "Troubled" moment. Sorry, it is a bit short. These are just moments, so it is hard to elaborate too much without it losing its effect.
Well, see ya soon.
Signed,
Her Sappiness
