Teen Titans

Chapter 1

《Side Quest》

Saturday 10:25 AM, birds chirp loudly along the Jump City park surrounding an elderly woman who is feeding them bits of bread. Not that far we hear a familiar voice in the distance.

Garfield is walking down the street enjoying his lovely tunes bobbing his head softly to the beat of the music and sings along as he enters a video game store, he turns to the cashier and waves smiling wide as he walks up to him.

Garfield: Morning Ginger how's the store holding up?

Ginger: Stop calling me that (Rolls his eyes) the store is doing well like always what brings you here on a saturday morning?

Garfield: Well do you have it?

Ginger looks around making sure no one is around and calls Garfield to come closer. Garfield slowly walks up to the counter as Ginger leans in closer to Garfield and whispers into his ear.

Ginger: You didn't get this from me got that it's the last copy of the game and i had to pull some serious strings to get this.

Garfield: Don't tell me you got it (He replies in shock and disbelief)

Ginger: That's right the last copy of Dragonslayer 3 i recommend doing all the side quests first before continuing the main story line.

Garfield: How much?

Ginger: Well since it's the last copy that anyone can purchase ever.....fifty dollars nothing lower

Garfield takes his wallet out quickly and opens it and adds up his money only to be short ten dollars he looks up and scratches his head.

Garfield: Sooo.....how about fourty? (He says nervously)

Ginger: Thank you come again. (He says and looks away)

Garfield: Aw come on remember when this store was empty who helped you bring in all this stuff to get you more business? Who helped you in advertising this store?

Ginger: Hm....fair point......fine BUT! you have to do me a favor

Garfield sighs deeply and thinks for a while and finally comes to a decision.

Garfield: Fine deal what is it?

Ginger: Think of it as a side quest..i need a specific type of material but is only found near Dr.Lights hideout...it's a red energy light capable of super powering up anything it's progammed to and i'm working on something realllly cool i'll show you when it's complete.

Garfield:.....Alright give me at least till Wednesday sound good?

Ginger: You got a deal bring me that and the game is yours i'll even throw in tickets to this years comic con.

Garfield jumps with joy.

Ginger: Cool it people will get suspicious and walk over to see what the fuss is about.

Garfield looks around.

Garfield: The store has been empty this whole time what are you talking about?

Ginger:.......Don't smart talk me i'll see you Wednesday.

Garfield says his fairwell and walks out the store but bumps into a tall man knocking them both over as the man dropped his football and backpack.

Garfield: Ow hey watch it buddy i know i'm short but i know you can see me from that close (He says while rubbing his nose)

???: Sorry there bud i really didn't see you there (He says as he slowly stands up and reaches down for Garfield)

Garfield stands up slowly with the man's help and looks down and reaches for his football and backpack

Garfield: Thanks...um here are your things sorry again for all that see ya around!! (He says as he runs off waving goodbye)

???: Yea see you around (The man says as he continues with his day and walks off)

Grafield finally reaches home and slowly closes the door and starts to tip toe his way to his room as quite as he can until he steps on a loose floor board as it creaks loud and echos throughout the house.

Garfield: Crap....

???: Where have you been!!! You know the rules!!

Loud stomps approach Garfield from the distance getting louder and louder as he gets closer and closer to Garfield.

Garfield: Yes Cliff i know the rules try not to break the floor ya know.

Cliff: Where did you go this time i bet it was to that video game store again huh?

Garfield looks down and scratches the back of his head.

Garfield: So what if i was? C'mon Cliff give me a break i'm stuck in this place everyday i want to go out and explore Jump City every once in a while.

Cliff: If certain evil people knew you were out and about daily you would become a target and if they follow you here the-

Garfield: Yea yea i know i'd be putting you all in jeopardy and risk our lives in the process i know i've heard this leacture thousands of times.

Cliff: And yet you still haven't learned (Cliff sighs and looks down) Listen kid we just want the best for you an-

Garfield: And what being locked up in my room all day or in this place is best for me....i get you all are just trying to help me but this isn't helping me at all i feel like a caged animal who's wings are being cut off. I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life being a some kind of test subject for anyone.

Garfield storms off into his room and locks the door behind him and tosses himself onto his bed. He puts his headphones on and grabs his laptop.
