Disclaimer: Yes as usual, I do not own Teen Titans, which is owned by DC Comics and Cartoon Network.

Author’s Note: Wow, chapter 1 was typed out after Halloween now chapter 2 was typed after Christmas, so probably by the time I finish, it’ll be Halloween 2006 ). Hey, first off as usual, thanks soo much to everyone who reviewed, your reviews really made my day! I did promise JLU gassing but since no one voted for a particular member, I guess you’ll just have to bear with my choices. ). Well, now on to Chapter 2!

Bring On the Spooks

On Halloween Night at Titan’s Tower, at 5’o clock in the evening, the Titans were all assembled in the main living room, dressed up in all manners of both spooky and comic apparel which was what they had picked out from the costume store yesterday, as named in Chapter 1.

“Titans!” cried Robin, dressed up as the Loch Ness Monster, in a foul, green costume with fangs and a long tail. Everyone looked up at him. He waved a piece of paper in front of them. “I have tonight’s itinerary for you, so that we can decide what we each want to do. I’ve prepared several suggested activities, so that we can each do what we want to do.”

The Titans peered at Robin’s list eagerly. He had written down several activities:

1. Trick or treating (duh)

2. Watch scary movie (How about we watch me in action, ie ‘Batman and Mr. Freeze: Subzero, hehe)

3. Explore haunted house (Maybe we could go scare Batman in the Batcave)

4. Go to Halloween party (I bet my costume will win hands down)

5. Scare people (especially little children)

6. Ask Zatanna for some spells to play with

7. Pay a visit to Dr. Fate’s house to learn magic (I can ask Superman to take us there)

Beast Boy nudged Cyborg as he read option 2. “What’s so scary about Mr. Freeze? And I always thought Rob looked a bit overweight in there,” he whispered.

Robin looked around proudly at everyone. “So, whatd’ya think?” There was the sound of some murmuring. Robin looked annoyed. “You don’t like them?”

BB shrugged. “I’m not really into haunted houses. I’d rather go trick or treating. Think of all the candy you can get…” His face had a glazed, dreamy expression on it. Cyborg agreed. “I’d prefer chilling out with a scary movie.” Bee nodded. Aqualad made a face. “Movie? How boring. Let’s go prank somebody!” he suggested, his dark eyes shining enthusiastically. “Right Starfire?” he asked, tugging her. She shook her head. “Robin has promised to take me to the haunted house.” Murmuring grew into a huge argument with all the Titans yelling at the top of their voices.

Finally, it was settled that Robin and Stafire would go exploring the haunted house, Cy and Bee would watch movies, Terra, Speedy and Aqualad would prank people while BB finally convinced Raven to go trick-or treating with him. The Titans then took their flashlights and went their separate ways.

“So, who’s your first target?” asked Terra, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder, unaware that Speedy was eyeing her with drool running down his chin. Aqualad grinned wickedly. “The little kiddies. They’re sure to be loaded with goodies. We’ll jump ‘em and take ‘em before they can do anything.”

Unfortunately, the little kids this year were very well armed with spray guns and the three of them soon found themselves drenched everytime they tried to pounce on a tiny tot.

“I GOT ONE!” yelled Speedy, holding up the pink Smartie he had managed to salvage from the ground. But even that was taken away from him, and he was soon paying the price for it with a drenching. The children squealed with glee.

Aqualad spluttered, spitting some water out of his mouth. “I’m all wet,” he complained. “My armor’s going to rust!” (A/N In case you’ve forgotten, he’s dressed up as a knight) Speedy glared after the kids who had just sprayed them. “Yes, run you little brats! Wait till I catch you, you’ve completely ruined my do!” He ran a hand over his carrot top. “This sucks,” complained Terra. “It was a lame idea of yours Aqualad!” Aqualad made a face in return. (A/N Hmm…Al seems to be making a lot of faces in this chappie)

“I’ve got a better suggestion,” Speedy said, after a while.

The other two looked quizzically at him. “What?” she asked. He turned to Aqualad. “Is Cyborg using the T-Car?” he asked. The Atlantean shook his head. “No. Why?” He grinned. “Because, I was thinking that we could just pay a little visit to some of the JLU members I know in Metropolis…”

“According to this brochure here, it says that there’s a good haunted house around somewhere at the edge of the western side of the city, down 12th Avenue,” said Robin, reading the pamphlet entitled, “Mysteries and Mystiques of Jump City.” He turned to the alien girl. “So? Ready for some nail-biting, goose bumping spooky horror, fellow adrenaline junkie?” he asked, grinning wickedly. (A/N I took that from the Toonami advert) “Legend says that the last owner was a rich old man, Mr. Alexander Moss who committed suicide after his love was not returned.” Starfire looked interestedly at him. “Yes, go on,” she replied eagerly. She had a curious affinity with ghost stories eventhough she often dreamt of them at night.

Robin’s wicked grin grew broader. “Not now Star,” he said. “I’ll continue at the old, deserted Moss Mansion. There’ll be more atmosphere there…”

“I told you already, I don’t DO trick or treating,” growled Raven, as BB pulled her along Main Street. “Let me go!”

“C’mon Rae, I know you’ll love it,” he argued, pulling the sleeve of her ‘Snow White’s evil stepmother’ costume. (A/N You remember her flowing black dress, when she was dressed as a hag?) “How would you know if you haven’t even done it yet?”

“Tried it once, didn’t like it,” she said through clenched teeth. (A/N Sound familiar? )). BB continued his tug of war with her. “When did you first go?” he asked. She shook her head. “A long time ago, on Azarath, when I was still a kid. It was dark, boring and we didn’t get any candy. Plus, we got beaten up for coming home late,” she replied bitterly, thinking of that Halloween evening long ago. It had been a wet, cold night and Raven and her friends had gone from house to house asking for candy, but no one would give them any.

Flashback

A small gang of Azarathian kids wandered the dark streets, holding up their Jack-o-Lanterns. The houses were all dark and quiet, nobody seemed to be around.

“Mess ta bek,” commented a young boy with pale skin, and purple hair, the trademark of Azarathians. (A/N I SO totally made that up, plus the language, please excuse me.) (Translation: Looks like nobody’s home).

“Kiato nor,” agreed Raven. (Translation: Guess so). They wandered further and further until almost midnight but they did not even get a scrap of candy. Finally…

“Wattero, alemo baino!” exclaimed the boy, pointing to a brightly lit house. (Translation: Look, a house with lights!). The children hurried there. They knocked timidly.

The door opened. “Ne?” answered an old man. (T: Yes?) They smiled. “Sobano, te moka bureno hila, agesso arlo?” (T: Hello, Happy Halloween, Trick or treat?”)

The old man snorted in disgust. “Braka! Scardo!” (T: Children! Get lost!) And he threw some metal pieces at them, which were sharp and cut them on the head. They returned home sadly, only to find Trigon waiting for them at the palace.

“Alazo!” (T: Late again!) “REZWAKO ILKA REKTA MURANO”! (T: HOW DARE YOU GO OUT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION!) And he beat them all up and took away the scraps of candy they had gotten from Arela. Raven remembered screaming with pain as he had whipped her until it felt as if her skin would open up. Later, he had thrown her into the dungeons where she had sat there sobbing, nursing her bleeding wounds. Every Halloween after that, she had sat at home, helping her father do whatever work he had wanted her to. Year after year after that incident, she had watched from the bedroom window, the sounds of other children laughing as they went from house to house, “begging” for all things sugary and seeing their Jack-o-lanterns gleaming in the dark streets, like eyes. And henceforth, she had always hated Halloween because it brought back such sad memories.

End flashback

BB stole a sympathetic glance at her. Raven had had a sad childhood, and he bet it was Trigon that had caused her to be this way. He gulped a little.

“Rae, it’ll be different tonight, I promise,” he said, taking her hand. Raven blushed a little. “I’m not too sure about that…”

BB suddenly broke into a wide grin. “Oh, but I’m sure about this. Candy, here we COME!”

“AAAHHH!” she yelled, as BB dragged her down the street, rushing madly, his Jack-o-lantern pumpkin basket swinging dangerously in the air.

“So, what movie do you wanna watch?” asked the tin man, looking at Bee. She shrugged, skimming through the Titans’ vast collection of DVDs. She brought out a few. “All right Sparky, take your pick,” she said.

Cyborg picked them up eagerly, then put them down in a hurry, his face screwed up in disgust. “BEE! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!” he yelled, gesturing at the DVDs.

“What?” she scowled.

“The Princess Diaries?” he glared angrily. “The Lizzie McGuire Movie?” Bee glared back. “Or worse, Legally Blonde? It’s Halloween for God’s sake,” he scolded. “Fine,” she sulked. “Have it your way.”

She took out one more DVD. “The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Take it or leave it.” Cyborg gave a resigned sigh. “Take it then. And remember to bring out the popcorn.”

He fluffed up the cushions and they settled down to watch it. But little did they know what they were in for.
