Sunset Shimmer dropped her backpack on the floor next to the statue of Canterlot High. She was here for a specific reason, and that’s because of what the mirror contained. It was actually a portal to the world she came from, Equestria. Despite making this world her new home, she wanted to spend a weekend with Princess Twilight Sparkle, Spike and Starlight Glimmer, her friends native from that world as well.
It was a pretty normal week to say the least, besides the overwhelming amount of tests over the past few days, which Sunset was sure she passed. No Equestrian magic, no rogues plotting to use it, nor did any villains from Equestria show up seeking to conquer the world with the leaking magic in both worlds. The girls considered it a breath of fresh air to say the least. For once, things were normal. And if anything went wrong while she was gone, Sunset would head right back to help.
She was kinda curious about how much changed since she last appeared in Equestria as well. She heard Princess Twilight and her friends opened up a School of Friendship for the nations beyond Equestria, and wanted to see what that was about. She mused at the idea of her learning during the weekend and shook her head, choosing to let all the tests she did be but a fleeting memory for the moment.
Present to watch her go were Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and this world’s Twilight Sparkle and Spike. Of course they couldn’t refuse a chance to say goodbye to their friend for the weekend. Pinkie Pie was the first to hug Sunset, the girl smiling sheepishly. “I’m gonna miss you super duper much, Sunset! Please don’t forget to write while you’re there!” Pinkie said in a sad tone.
“Don’t worry, Pinkie. I’ll be back Sunday night. It won’t be forever.” Sunset assured her overeager friend.
Twilight agreed, “At the very least, you lent us a magic book to communicate with you.”
“That is true. It won’t be long.” Fluttershy added.
Rainbow put her arms behind her head and said, “Just don’t forget about us while you’re there. Then again, I won’t be surprised if you find pony me just as cool as yours truly.”
Sunset rolled her eyes, “I’ll be sure to not forget. You girls are my best friends after all.”
“Just have fun, darling. You won’t miss anything while you’re gone, we assure you.” Rarity chimed in.
Sunset chuckled, “I hope so.”
Twilight said, “I really do want to learn more about Equestria. Maybe when you come back we can talk about the differences in magic, science, anatomy-“
“Uh, Twilight...” Spike lightly tugged on Twilight’s sock to distract her.
The bispectacled girl blushed at her enthusiasm and smiled, “Oh right, sorry...”
Sunset replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to reveal every detail to you when I come back.”
“And if ya see well... us, tell ‘em we said hello from the other side.” Applejack suggested.
Sunset nodded, “I will.”
The girls waved her off, and Sunset inhaled. For once she had nothing to worry about once she stepped through the portal. Without any hesitation, she picked up her bag, waved to her friends once more and took a step, the base of the statue rippling as the portal opened. As bizarre as it was, Sunset realized that traveling across space wasn’t as scary as it sounded.
What did scare her was the giant green finger appearing in the rift. She gulped, “That doesn’t look good...”
Sunset had no idea what was happening, for she felt her entire body flung around in the rift between worlds, her destination and fate unknown now.
“Oh man, it’s so boring here!” the green-skinned teen, Beast Boy, whined, leaning on the sofa while half-asleep. The living room in Titans Tower had its usual occupants, Robin, Raven, Cyborg and Starfire were all eating something in the kitchen not too far away. Beast Boy only had tofu in his hand, a snack he had grown to eating. He took a bite, and his teammates all shared a gag at that, wondering how he could stomach it.
The Teen Titans were taking in the peace they currently had. Following all the adventures they had, they felt as though a break was needed. Their expanded team had all gone back to their homes, reuniting only for possible threats like the Brain or even something beyond their world again. For now, it was the five.
Starfire sat next to Beast Boy and petted the silkworm lying on the sofa next to him, “Who is the good boy, Silky? You are!” the bug creature giggled.
Beast Boy yawned and grabbed the remote, wanting to watch TV, the screen lowered itself with the press of a button. Cyborg hopped on over next to him, a bowl full of popcorn in his hand. “Hey, Beast Boy. Want a bite?” he offered his friend, a handful of popcorn seen in Beast Boy’s face.
“No thanks, dude.” Beast Boy said, leaning on the chair arm.
Cyborg smiled, “Sweet! More for me then!” he munched down the popcorn he wanted to give Beast Boy.
Robin crossed his arms and said, “You know, I’m surprised. Nothing’s came up in a while. Normally, Doctor Light would be robbing a bank by now.”
“Can you blame him for not trying after having every single Titan take him down?” Cyborg wondered. “I think we scared crime away.”
Beast Boy said, “I know right? That was pretty cool, but now things are boring. There isn’t even anything good on TV! I mean, who wants to watch Pretty Pretty Pegasus?” Raven looked away upon hearing that.
Robin said, “Just because nothing’s happening, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be prepared though. This boring phase can only last for so long.”
“You know, you’re really starting to act like your old mentor.” Beast Boy commented.
Robin scowled at that remark, “I’m nothing like him.”
“Do not be upset, Robin. Beast Boy was only kidding.” Starfire assured Robin.
Beast Boy replied, “Yeah, dude. No need to get offended. I don’t even get why, he’s cool.”
“He is not ‘cool’ at all. He treated me as a sidekick and never thought of me as an equal.” Robin stated.
As they were talking, Raven and Cyborg noticed the TV starting to shoot out sparks of lightning. “Uh, guys...” Raven called out to her friends. She covered her hand in her trademark black aura, readying a spell for in the event something or someone hostile appeared at their tower.
“Oh great, the TV is busted again.” Cyborg groaned as he dropped the bowl of popcorn, “That’s like the fifth time this month!”
Robin, Beast Boy, and Starfire all glanced at the screen glowing and shooting sparks of electricity. “What the heck? I don’t think it’s supposed to do that.” Beast Boy muttered in confusion.
The Boy Wonder gritted his teeth and said, “Whatever’s coming out of there cannot be good. Keep your guards up.”
Cyborg aimed his Sonic Cannon at the TV, “Already doing that!”
Beast Boy was unsure of what animal to change into, so he stood up and waited to see what was coming. Raven readied her magic while Starfire’s glowed green. More sparks emitted from the television, until it finally rippled. First a hand, then a foot, then the rest of the body hopped out. The girl in question fell to the floor and panted, sweat pouring down her face and her red and yellow hair now messy.
“I never... want to do that... again...” Sunset muttered under her breath. She was feeling dizzy, something she hadn’t dealt with since she first arrived at Canterlot High. She looked at her hand and noticed that she was still human, “Looks like whatever happened didn’t change me back. Huh.”
She gagged and raised her head, her line of sight immediately greeted by five people, all of whom looking curious and uneasy at the mysterious visitor. Curious herself, she turned around and saw the giant television. With a defeated sigh, she faced the teens once more and said,
“Wonderful.”
Got to ask. Is it the Teen Titans or the Teen Titans GO Universe. Or even the comics.
Kind of like to know what crossover this takes place in.
...More please? At which point in the series does this take place?
Please sir can I have some more....
9080443
Original TV series.
Definitely excited to see more.
9080456
Then I will definitely read it!
9080456
Just because of that, you have my thumbs up.
Should be “Tower had”.
Should be “though”.
And, tracking. I cannot wait for more.
dont know what im more eager for. To see how this story turns out or the return of the original teen titans.
Why can I see sunset rather than confront the teen titans right away, walk to the nearest wall and introduce her face to it saying Why? Cant. I. Catch. A. Brake. Emphasizing each word with another wall to the face
9080557
Why not both?
*After seeing the title* Oh HECK YES! *tracking*
!!!!!
I will keep up to date on this story.
please tell me this is not teen titans go.
9080944
It isn't.
9081169
thank goodness. because that show is killing the good name of the first one.
So this Robin is like Dick Grayson was when he stopped being Robin in Batman the animated series. Only this guy is still holding onto the Robin mantle where Dick in the animated series renounced the boy wonder title.
Please let Pretty Pretty Pegasus be the only Go reference.
9081477
Well he IS a Dick Greyson not the Batman TAS one but a variant. So similar lives, similar fall outs with their Batmen.
9080512 Fixed. Thanks.
9080446 After Season 5 and before Trouble in Tokyo, so Robin and Starfire aren’t a couple yet.
9080449
9080461 I’m hoping for a Friday/Saturday update, so it won’t be long.
9080560 Just when she thought she could take a brief vacation too...
9080565
9080782
9080547 Thanks!
9081477 We don’t know much about Robin’s past in Teen Titans. Batman barely gets acknowledged beyond vague references in this show and is never even referred to by name.
9081583 I’m not acknowledging Go beyond that.
I think there should at least be acknowledgement in some form by Sunset concerning Raven having the same VA as Twilight Sparkle. Even just a simple "Your voice reminds me of my friend Twilight, for some reason."
9081615 what about Larry, Robin's biggest fan his real name is Robin's backward, and it's Nosyreg Kcid, and his alias in Trouble in Toyko was Greyson wasn't it?
9082945
There’s also the episode where Robin hallucinates Slade being their and Raven has to go into his mind, while there two memories are shown, the Flying Greyson falling to their death and Dick making an oath to Bruce (a reference to the comic book Robin was first introduced in). Finally as far as I know Only Dick Greyson becomes Nightwing who Starfire meets when she goes into the future, so I think it safe to say that the Robin in Teen Titans is Dick.
9083744
Like I said he's a version of Dick Grayson and like every Dick Grayson he likely had a falling out with Batman before leaving Gotham and moving to Jump City. Back to the story, the grammar needs some work. Also I hope Sunset develops some useful power here, Unicorn likely translates to Metahuman in this dimension.
9080456
good the new one is absolute shit
9112873
Yes it is. New can never replace the original.
Ahem... you were his sidekick...
