"This was so exciting." Dot smiled.
"Mm-hmm..." Lucky smiled tiredly in agreement.
There was a TV for Dot to keep her occupied during the flight. The Teen Titans Go cartoon was on for what felt like the millionth time today. Dot frowned at the TV screen, narrowing her eyes at the cartoon she used to love, then actually turned it off for now.
"There are other TV stations on it if you want to watch something else." Cyborg told her.
"Anything but that cartoon." Dot frowned.
Cyborg then put on a different Cartoon Network show called Steven Universe.
"This one will do." Dot smiled.
Cyborg smiled to her as she could enjoy her way back home now. Dot smiled, loving Steven Universe a whole lot better than those Teen Titan rejects on the network these days a whole lot better. And where the songs that Steven Universe had in it were amazing.
Dot was now singing the theme song, very much enjoying the cartoon. "We are the Crystal Gems... We'll always save the day... And if you think we can't, we'll always find a way... That's why the people of this world believe in... Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl... And Steven!" she then giggled at the last name, loving that part in the opening theme.
Atticus smiled as he overheard his cousin singing through the communicator.
It was nearly dark when they got home. The Titans then heard their own theme song and started to sing along to the right one, not that short pathetic excuse on Cartoon Network today.
"I will obey traffic rules~" Beast Boy sang. "Teen Titans!"
"I will eat everything without likes or dislikes," Robin added. "Teen Titans!"
"Earthquake, lightning, fire, Dad," Starfire continued. "Grammar, Math, Science, Social Studies, There is nothing that I am afraid of... Teen Titans, GO!"
"Holla, Holla, Holla, Holla, Holla, Holla, Holler my name, TEEN TITANS!" Cyborg blurted out which made mostly everyone laugh slightly. "Half of your troubles will be gone! Teen Titans!"
"Papa's schedule control, Mama's weight control," Raven drearily sang. "Wishes are endless... Teen Titans Go."
"One, two, three, four, five!" Beast Boy counted.
"TEEN TITANS!" the Teen Titans cheered together.
"Good night, Tokyo!" Beast Boy called as they left the Asian border to go back home.
"I'm so glad that trip is finally over." Lucky sighed.
"It was exciting and thrilling..." Patch yawned and stretched. "But I'd like to go back home and relax for a while."
"Same here." Lucky smiled.
Dot, being a little girl of course, instantly fell asleep, but smiled as she hummed Steven Universe songs in her sleep. Lucky smiled and slept next to her, liking these songs too. Dot unknowingly put her arm around Lucky in her sleep. Mo had her bandanna over her eyes as she slept and was snuggling against Atticus.
Atticus was surprised a bit, but smiled and then put his arm around her. Mo kept snuggling closer once he did that. The trip was long, but soon, they made it back to the Tower.
"Should we wake them?" Starfire whispered to Robin.
Robin looked to the others as he yawned himself. "It's been a long travel... Why not surprise them?"
"That sounds like a good idea." Starfire agreed.
"I agree." Raven agreed with a yawn.
This was truly the most exhausting adventure any of them had ever had. The next day would be a surprise for the Titans' guests. The Titans woke up before their guests and decided to plan a surprise to welcome them into their friendship and to thank them for their help on this adventure that they all had in Tokyo.
After a while, Atticus and the others woke up, ready for the day.
"Phew..." Dot yawned and stretched, putting her glasses on once she woke up. "Nobody in school's ever gonna believe this!"
"Our faces are in the newspaper, I think they'll believe." Lucky laughed.
"Oh, yeah." Dot laughed and pet her doggy.
Cherry tossed and turned and finally woke up and stretched a little before getting fully up.
"Sleep well, Cerise?" Forte asked.
"Yes..." Cherry rubbed one eye.
"Are we home yet?" Patch asked before seeing his owner and Mo asleep together.
Mo was seeming to nuzzle against Atticus in her sleep.
"Ahem!" Patch coughed slightly into his paw.
Atticus and Mo slowly woke up, then yawned before realizing they had slept together.
"Good morning, you two." Patch smirked.
Atticus and Mo muttered out their own greetings sheepishly. They then heard Patch laugh smugly at the two of them. The two glanced at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Puppies..." Mo shrugged. "You raise 'em and then you hope..."
"Yeah." Atticus said.
"Imagine if we had kids." Mo chuckled.
"'We'?" Atticus looked at her.
"I mean, any of us, not like you and me, unless... Uhh... I dunno..." Mo laughed a little nervously, turning bright red briefly.
"Oh, so, you dudes and dudettes are finally up." Beast Boy smiled.
"So it seems..." Cherry said as she still looked tired, but was alert and attentive. "What's going on around here?"
"Come on, you're gonna love this." Beast Boy led them down the hallway.
The others looked curious, but they did follow the animal shape-shifting teen.
"Where are you taking us?" Patch asked.
"You'll see." Beast Boy smirked.
Cherry looked annoyed as they went around.
Beast Boy took them nearly to the end of the hall where the center of the Tower was where the Titans usually hung out or discussed missions. "So glad to see you guys are awake after the long journey we all had together!" he said, speaking slightly louder, almost as if to signal something or someone.
'Why did he say that loudly?' Patch thought to himself.
Beast Boy took them into the kitchen area where it was dark.
"Hey, who turned the lights?" Dot asked before flicking on a light switch.
"Surprise, my new friends!" Starfire jumped out with joy and flew over to their new friends with a smile. "Please do join me in your first ever celebration in my planetary customs!"
Cherry blinked. "Does anyone know what the heck she just said?"
"We shall engage in the celebration of friendship." Starfire kept her smile.
"Ohh, yeah, um, what's it called again?" Patch asked.
"Blorthog." Starfire nonchalantly replied.
"Uh, yeah, that..." Patch smiled to the Tamarian girl. "Let's celebrate 'Blorthog'."
"Oh, I was hoping one of you would say that!" Starfire beamed. "I shall fetch the mustard as a treat for you all!"
"Okay." Dot smiled.
The other Titans winced, already knowing what Starfire wanted mustard for, but smiled to her.
"Surprise..." Raven weakly called, bleakly blowing a noisemaker that was in her mouth.
"So what's the mustard for?" Lucky asked.
"It is my favorite Earth beverage." Starfire said as she put a drinking straw in her bottle of mustard.
"Um, no, thank you on the mustard." Atticus said nervously.
Starfire offered to the others who smiled apologetically and declined, she then shrugged and continued to ingest her mustard.
"So, what are these exactly?" Robin asked, investigating the medallions that Atticus, Mo, Cherry, and Patch had.
"Equestrian medallions," Mo explained. "Believe it or not, but we're frequent visitors to the land of Equestria."
"Yeah and where it's a real place." Patch smiled.
"I have witnessed the colorful and mystical equine creatures of which you speak of." Starfire believed them since she saw Mo in her pegasus form when they flew in to save Atticus and Robin from Commander Daizo and the Tokyo Troopers after breaking out of jail.
"Well, there are more pegasi and unicorns and alicorns in Equestria, there are also dragons and griffins too." Atticus told them.
"We'll just have to take your word for it." Cyborg gave a smile.
"You don't think we're making this up, do you?" Patch asked.
"Starfire's an alien princess from another world, Raven's father is a demon, I was raised by Batman, Cyborg is half-robot, and Beast Boy can turn into different animals," Robin defended. "I think we'll believe anything you tell us that you think is true or not."
"That's good to know." Mo smiled.
"You know, Raven, I have an evil relative in my family too." Atticus said.
"You do...?" Raven asked.
"I know how it feels..." Atticus said softly. "It's okay..."
"Who's yours?" Raven asked curiously then.
"King Sombra, he's my uncle, he's an evil unicorn." Atticus frowned.
"You're uncle is King Sombra?!" Raven asked out of shock.
"You know my uncle?" Atticus asked.
"I know about the history of him and of all of Equestria, I have the history of Equestria in books." Raven said.
Atticus was shocked himself. "No way!"
Raven slowly nodded. "Way."
"Raven, who's your father again?" Patch asked.
Raven sighed softly. "Trigon..."
Forte even seemed to shudder from that name.
Raven glanced to the court composer. "You know him?"
Forte looked away. "Cerise... Do you wonder how I'm still alive?"
"I thought you were a vampire?" Cherry replied.
"I am, but I also had to sell something to keep up my strength at my elderly age..." Forte explained. "I almost died trying to find you again in the 21st century before I found out you were there... Trigon was about to take me down to Hell since I was a vampire and all vampires go to Hell when they die... I sold him my soul."
"You sold him your soul?!" Patch asked out of shock.
Forte slowly nodded with his eyes shut.
"How scary is this guy?" Mo asked.
"Scary doesn't even begin to describe it..." Raven frowned deeply.
"He just wants to be a good daddy!" Dot said.
Raven glanced to Dot, feeling hit by that. "You watch too much cartoons..."
"So then, he's not a good father like he is in Teen Titans Go?" Dot asked her.
"Whoever made that Teen Titans Go cartoon is going to have a bone picked by me..." Raven's violet eyes simmered with slight rage.
"I agree." Dot nodded.
Lucky was relieved that Dot didn't like that cartoon anymore, it was really a disgrace to the original Teen Titans.
"From now on, I'm only going to watch Steven Universe." Dot promised.
"That sounds promising." Lucky smiled.
"I wish I could be a Crystal Gem." Dot frowned.
"Well, you can always dream you're a Crystal Gem." Atticus smiled.
"Hmm..." Dot's imagination became inspired.
"Wait, Dot, what month were you born?" Patch asked.
"January, why?" Dot asked.
"That means you have the same gem as one of the Crystal Gems: Garnet, just like me, my birthday is also on January." Atticus smiled.
"But Mom told me those were called 'birth stones'." Dot replied, slightly confused.
"Yes, but haven't you noticed?" Cherry spoke up once she saw where this was going. "The gems are named after birth stones. Pearl is the birth stone for June, Amethyst is the birth stone for February, Garnet is for January like Atticus just said..."
"I could be like Garnet?" Dot sounded dreamy.
"Yeah." Atticus nodded.
"That would be great!" Dot grinned. "She's the real leader of the Crystal Gems!"
"Really?" Lucky asked. "I thought it was Pearl." he then said.
"Well, Garnet seems to know how to take charge better than Pearl does most of the time." Dot insisted.
"True." Lucky nodded.
"I wonder if the Crystal Gems are real too." Patch said.
"Oh, come on, they're cartoons, this is real life!" Dot said.
Cherry looked to her, then into the fourth wall. "Don't tell her, she might crack."
"Who are you talking to?" Dot asked, overhearing her.
"Oh, no one~..." Cherry replied, trying to sound innocent.
The others continued their first Blorthog celebration to celebrate their victory in Tokyo and just all becoming friends. And where this celebration seemed to be a whole lot of fun.
