Teen Titan's-The Musical

Chapter 1

"I do not think that is such a good idea." said Starfire.

“Me either." joined Cyborg. And after a short pause he added "Don't you remember the last movie night, Beast Boy?"

"Guys, guys what could happen?" Beast Boy argued "And besides," he hurried on before the others could come up with answers for his opening statement "I didn't rent anything scary this time. I brought home "Rent". It's a musical." He finished.

"Well," said Starfire "I have been wanting to see that one." She looked at Robin hopefully.

"Aww, Damnit B.B," complained Cyborg. "Why couldn't you bring home "The Terminator" or something?"

"Cyborg we've seen that one a hundred times already." grumbled Robin.

"Like you should talk!" Cyborg spat back at him. "And how many times have you forced us to sit through one of your, Bruce Lee movies?"

"That's different." Robin began.

"Yea, like hell it is!" Cyborg shouted.

"Quiet!! Down!!" Raven roared over her quibbling roommates. As soon as the group fell silent Raven didn't waste anytime. "Beast Boy," she commanded irritably “just put in the god for saken DVD already! And if anybody doesn't like it then they can go do something else!"

Surprisingly everyone stayed. And after the movie was over and the credits were rolling Starfire commented with tears still glistening on her cheeks "That was beautiful. Don't you agree, Robin?"

"Uhh, yea, sure, Star” said Robin even though he'd almost fallen asleep twice through out the whole film. Musicals just weren't his thing.

"Well, I thought" sniffed Cyborg. "That it was beautiful too, Star."

Beast Boy smiled to himself. Cyborg really was just a big ol' softy. It was always amusing to him to see his big ol' tough guy/strong man friend cry like a woman at the end of a sappy love story. When Cyborg had started to cry at the end of the movie, when they had found Mimi, on the brink of death but Roger's voice had brought her back Beast Boy had smiled despite the soft familiar sting he had felt because this scene had made him think of Terra. He still didn't want to believe she was gone.

"So, what did you think, Rae?" Beast Boy asked turning his attention to the stone-faced girl at the end of the couch.

"Well, since you asked. I found it rather sentimental and to be lacking any real logic. Let's face it Mimi was already sick when she left and on top of that she has AIDS and that would make it impossible for her to fend off the illness & then you have to take into account the season. Its winter and she was missing on the streets for who knows how long? So, the way I see it, it is highly unlikely that she would have survived."

Starfire frowned. "I think you have missed the point, Raven."

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything," Raven groaned. "No I did not, Star." Raven began "I know that the author wanted to convey a message of hope, and that was what Mimi's character symbolized. Hope. If she had died the message would have been lost."

"I'm afraid I do not understand" said Star "I mean what you just said before? I thought you did not like the movie."

"Never mind." Said Raven as she got up and left the discussion.

The next day went on like any other. Well almost. The part where Cyborg burst into a song about the Meats & Sausages during his and B.B. usual not so friendly debate over tofu vs. real eggs was hardly like any other day.

"Dude, what's going on here?" Beast Boy asked after Cyborg finished.

"I don't know, man” said Cyborg "But we'd better go warn the others before..."

Just then Robin, Starfire, and Raven entered the kitchen. "Warn the other's about what?" Robin asked taking a seat at the table.

"Well," Cyborg started "actually, maybe B.B. should take this one."

"Me! Why me?! You’re the one who sang the ballad of ham & sausages this morning.”

"Ballad?" Raven repeated with a slight hint of amusement in her tone.

At that moment everyone turned and looked at Raven.

"What?” she asked. "Your not blaming this on me again, are you? Now wait just one minute," Raven continued "You can't really think this is my fault!"

"Duh! Of course it's your fault." Beast Boy responded inadvertently. Then seeing the fleeting look of hurt on Raven's face he wished strongly that he hadn't been so impulsive and spoken so harshly but the look, that look of hurt was so quickly replaced by a piercing glare of anger that Beast Boy might have been the only to notice.

After a few moments she finally tore her eyes from Beast Boys and locked them on each of the others one by one she glared at each them and then finally she regained control of her temper but not before whispering the words "Azarath Metrion Zinthos" three times. Once she finally raised her voice to audible octave she found her voice sounded foreign even to her own ears as it was so cold she felt the chill in her own heart as she asked "Do you all feel this way?"

When no one answered Raven bent her head and looked down at her feet, the piercing spark had left her eyes, and all that was left was a sorrow so deep it was all that she could do. She forced the emotions down deeper and deeper into the darkest crevices of her mind and spoke with that same chilled foreign voice, the voice that wasn't her own. "I see." And with that she left the kitchen and walked up the stairs to her bedroom.

Beast Boy was the first to break the silence after Raven left, as usual "How long do you think this will last?" he asked.

"Probably as long as, Rae holds back whatever emotions that the movie revealed to her. You remember how everything went back to normal when she finally admitted to her fear," answered Robin.


A week went by without anymore "incidences" and the gang was starting to believe that whole thing might have been a fluke. And to make matters worse Raven who had already been a pretty quite roommate might as well have moved out for all the time she spent at the tower and when she was there and not locked away in her bedroom she would only speak when spoken to, or just out of politeness for example she would say "excuse me" if she needed to get by one of them in the hall.

Beast Boy seemed to be taking Raven's behavior the worst. He had tried everything he could think of to get her to smile, but nothing worked. Not that he really expected to succeed because he had never really been able to get her to laugh at one of his jokes, at least not outside of her head. he thought to himself.

"Raven," Beast Boy tired "Aww, forget it!" he slammed down his fist and started to sing...

Raven started inching away, but before she could Beast Boy caught her arm and looking directly into her dark violet eyes, he continued on with the song, and with his next line, Raven pale cheeks turned scarlet.
