Hey guys! Finally, I've started to write the sequel to The Spirit of the Phoenix! Now, this is going to be quite different from the first one, since this one is a comedy and the other one was...angsty. For those who haven't read the first fanfic yet, I will highly recommend that you do. But, if you don't want to, that's fine.
Also, I plan this sequel to much shorter than the first one. But, hopefully it will be just as good as the first one, though it may be for different reasons.
I only own Lena. Now, we can get on with the story!
It was a quiet morning in the tower. Raven and I were on the couch reading, and Starfire was making some sort of craft on the table that involved a whole lot of glitter. I glanced at my two friends and smiled. I still can't believe how much my life has changed. A few months ago, I was a homeless, friendless, and frightened little girl. Now, I'm a Teen Titan with four friends and a boyfriend. Speaking of which…
"Is Cyborg still in the garage?" I asked, wondering if Cyborg had come up but I was too engrossed in my book to notice. Starfire looked up, her beautiful face covered with specks of glitter.
"I have not heard or seen him since he went down there," answered Star thoughtfully.
"We would have heard him if he came up," assured Raven.
"Okay, I was just wondering if I somehow missed him," I said, going back to my book.
"That is highly doubtful," Raven commented. I smirked, knowing that Raven was right. Even I had to admit that both Cyborg and I were pretty attentive to each other.
"Hey dudettes! Look what I found!" I looked up and saw Beast Boy as a green ostrich run into the room till he reached the table. He then turned back into his human form and threw a book he had under his arm onto the table. This caused all the extra glitter to fly everywhere and stick on everyone.
"Cough…oops…cough," said Beast Boy meekly.
"Ah! My…cough…card…cough…for…cough…Robin!" exclaimed Starfire.
"Oh that's…cough…what that…cough…was," I commented.
"BB…cough…next time be more aware of your…cough…surroundings. Star, use less…cough…glitter," advised Raven.
"Will do," said Beast Boy cheerfully as he saluted at his girlfriend. Star, on the other hand, looked a little put out. But since I knew she would get over it, I took a closer look at the long, big, and fat book on the table.
"What's that Beast Boy?" I asked. Beast Boy beamed excitedly as he picked the book up.
"Our scrapbook!" he exclaimed.
"You found it!" exclaimed Star happily, as she took the book from Beast Boy. Raven, however, just her hood over her head.
"Drat…I thought it was lost forever in your messy jungle of a room," she groaned.
"Well, I was cleaning…"
"YOU were CLEANING?!" we all cried in shock. Beast Boy looked offended.
"Hey, even I clean my room once in a while. And since I'm a changed man, I figured I need to clean my room more." Raven lifted her hood a bit, and I could see that she was blushing.
"Hey guys what's going on? And why is everyone covered in glitter?" My heart lifted up a good bit, even though I was already in pretty good spirits. Cyborg had just entered and was walking towards us curiously.
"Beast Boy found your guys' scrapbook and threw it near Star's card for Robin," I told him.
"Actually, it only belongs to me and Star," corrected Beast Boy, ignoring the glitter fiasco completely.
"Yes, Beast Boy shot the pictures and I put them in the book. I loved it, but then Beast Boy lost the book. But now he has found it when he was cleaning his room," added Star.
"BEAST BOY was CLEANING?!" Cyborg exclaimed in shock as he sat next to me and put his arm over my shoulder. Beast Boy looked offended again and looked like he was about to retort when Star flew and sat between Raven and me.
"Now we can look at our memories of beloved again!" exclaimed Star as she opened the book. Raven pulled her hood down in order to cover her face again while Beast Boy changed into a cat and jumped to her lap, with his face in the book.
"Hey, that's when we defeated the Hive for the first time!" exclaimed Cyborg excitedly as we looked at a picture of proud Teen Titans watching T.V.
"I still cannot believe that Jinx is a good guy now," commented Star as she turned the page.
"She's the one who is currently dating Kid Flash right?" I asked.
"Yep. I guess love can really change a person huh?" commented Cyborg as he gave me a little squeeze and smiled warmly at me. I smiled warmly at him took his other hand. He's absolutely right.
"Look, here is when we met Terra…for the first time," said Star quietly as she looked over at Beast Boy. I looked over at him too, wondering how he would react. But Beast Boy looked truly content, as he sat on Raven's lap with his back being scratched by her hand. Something tells me that mentioning Terra definitely doesn't bother him anymore.
"Hey Star, do you guys have a picture of all the Teen Titans after we defeated the Brain?" asked Cyborg. Starfire nodded as she quickly skimmed through the book.
"Found it!" she cried as she pointed to the picture. I leaned forward, excited to see all the honorary Titans in one place. I heard from Cyborg and the others of how they fought and won against the Brain. I wish I was there to see all those superheroes kick butt together. Oh well, I'm here now, and that's what matters.
"You know, we should have a reunion," said Beast Boy, now sitting on the top of the couch, with one hand on Raven's shoulder.
"That's not a bad idea. It would be good to see how everyone is doing at least once a year," praised Raven. I was just about to exclaim my excitement at this idea when I saw him.
"Yes, what a fun party that will be! I cannot wait to tell Robin when he gets done with shopping for food," Starfire exclaimed, ecstatic. It can't be…I'm just seeing things…I shook my head and looked at him again.
"This reunion will be a perfect time to test my new speakers…Lena? What's the matter?" Cyborg asked me, concerned. I took a deep breath and pointed at a blond boy in the picture.
"Who's that?" I asked, trying to keep my voice calm. Beast Boy leaned forward to take a closer look.
"Oh that's Jericho. He's quiet, but he's a good guy to save the world with. Why?" he asked curiously. I gulped.
"Because…I don't know him as Jericho," I answered.
"You know him?!" exclaimed Starfire, surprised.
"Who do you know him as?" asked Cyborg. I took another deep breath to steady myself.
"Joshua Wilson."
Dun dun dun...! Well, I bet everyone's happy now that he is in the picture...and me too. Anyway, how will the others react? Find out in the next update, which I don't know when it will be, since tomorrow is Fourth of July AND I am in the middle of writing Adventures in Cartoonland. Speaking of which, if you don't know what to read next, read that fanfic and tell me what you think about it!
P.S. Uh, did I just advertised for another story before finishing commenting on this one? Yes. Yes I did. Now before I forget, I would be happy if you review this sequel!
P.S.S. To all the Americans out there, Happy Fourth of July!
