Cyborg: One, two, three, four.

The Night Begins to Shine starts to play in Cyborg's room. He then goes to the living room where the Titans are seated, and proceeds to lip-sync the lyrics to them.

♪ I saw you dance from the corner. I caught your name in a conversation. Playing hard to get, I can't understand. When I look at you, I see the story in your eyes. When we're dancing... ♪

Robin: Cyborg!

♪ That night begins to shine ♪

Raven: Cyborg!

♪ Night begins to shine ♪

Beast Boy: Bro!

♪ The night begins to shine, night begins to shine. When we're dancing, the night begins to... ♪

Robin: Cyborg!

Cyborg: Yes?

Starfire: Cyborg, we must speak on the topic of the song.

Cyborg: It's pretty great, right?

Raven: You play it every day. Multiple times a day.

Cyborg: Yeah, I do! It gets me pumped up! Uh!

Beast Boy: Bro, what's so special about that song?

Cyborg: On the magnetic strip in this cassette tape, lives the greatest song ever written. The Night Begins to Shine! Influenced by the sounds of the '80s, it was 40% written by Carl Burnett, 40% by Franklin Enea, and a sweet, sweet 20% by William J. Reagan. When I hear this song, anything is possible!

Starfire: Can such power come from something as simple as musical arrangements?

Cyborg: Music can transform you, girl.

Raven: Transform me? So, I can be Optimus Prime?

Cyborg: No! I want to be Optimus Prime! But you can be Bumblebee.

Raven rolls her eyes. Cyborg turns the song on again and walks backwards out the room.

...

Beast Boy: Uh...

(Raven, Robin, and Starfire sigh, one after the other)

Cyborg: Whoo! (Night Begins to Shine playing)

Cyborg: (turns song off) What are you guys doing?

Starfire: The blah.

Robin: Yep.

Beast Boy: Pretty much.

Cyborg: You know what I do when I feel, "The blah"?

Raven: You play "The Night Begins to Shine!"

Cyborg: (resumes song) I play "The Night Begins to Shine!"

Robin: We've heard that song 100 times. It does nothing for us.

Cyborg: You've got to listen with your heart. Not your ears.

Raven: It's not gonna work. Whoa. What's happening to my body?

Cyborg: That's the blah going on a temporary vacation. See you in three minutes, the blah!

♪ I saw you dance ♪ (Beast Boy lip-syncing)

Beast Boy: How am I lip-syncing when I don't even know the words?

Cyborg: The words know you. They always have.

The kitchen scene turns into an 80s style cartoon.

Starfire: What is happening to reality?

Cyborg: Music is its own reality.

Robin: This is freaking me out. What do we do?

Cyborg: We ride!

♪ I saw you dance from the corner. I caught your name in a conversation ♪

Cyborg increases the speed of the motorcycle. The camera focuses on a rock; underneath it, a robot-bug thing crawls out of it.

♪ Playing hard to get, I can't understand ♪

A robot-eagle calls out, its eyes glisten. It joins the party.

♪ When I look at you, I see the story in your eyes. When we're dancing, the night begins to shine ♪

The camera pans towards a robot-horse. Its red eyes shine amidst the moonlight surrounding it. It gallops, trailing behind the Titans.

♪ Night begins to shine, the night begins to shine ♪

Suddenly, a wolf's face has imprinted on the moon's surface.

♪ Night begins to shine. When we're dancing, the night... ♪ (Robin turns the song off)

Cyborg: Hey!

Robin: Cyborg, we need to talk about the song.

Beast Boy: You seriously need some variety in your playlist, bro.

Raven: It's time to give it a rest.

Cyborg: Okay. Just one more time, then.

Robin: No.

Cyborg: Just the beginning?

Robin: No.

Cyborg: I'll just skip to the best part.

Robin: No more! The night is done shining, Cyborg!

Beast Boy: It's for your own good, bro.

Starfire: We are concerned that you cannot function without the shines of the night.

Cyborg: I can't and I don't! So what?

Robin: Here. Open this.

Cyborg: Easy-greasy.

Robin: Without the song.

Cyborg: Right. No problem.

(struggling noises)

Cyborg: What is this jar made of?

He drops the pickle jar, having given up; the jar hits the floor with a light clang.

Raven: Wow. You can't even open a pickle jar on your own.

Robin: Imagine what would happen if your team was in trouble.

Crime! Crime! Crime! (toast pops out of toaster)

Robin: Crime alert. The Brain is attacking Jump City. Titans, go! Not you.

Cyborg: What? Why?

Robin: You're suspended until you get that jar open without your song. Titans, except for Cyborg, go!

Cyborg: I can do this.

(Cyborg's hand pops off)

Cyborg: Come on!

...

Cyborg: The Brain has captured the Titans. They need my help.

Cyborg: Robin was right. I've been using that song as a crutch. Without it, I don't have enough willpower to do anything! Even save my friends.

(bird screeching the night begins to shine)

Cyborg: No way. "The Night Begins to Shine" inspired that hawk to build its nest. Birds sing all the time, and they're always getting work done!

Cyborg: I understand now. Music is supposed to be a crutch. And right now, I need me some crutches!

(opens jar, Cyborg takes a bite out of a pickle)

Back to the 80s cartoon.

♪ Night begins to shine. The night begins to shine, night begins to shine. When we're dancing, the night begins to shine. ♪

The hawk-eagle-robot turns away from its perch and follows Cyborg.

♪ The night begins to shine. Have my mind made up, wanna feel your touch. When I look at you, I see the story in your eyes ♪

The wolf growls.

♪ When we're dancing, the night begins to shine. Night begins to shine ♪

The wolf howls, jumps towards Cyborg, and has the light from its eyes drained as it becomes an accessory wrapped around Cyborg's torso. Its energy is a part of Cyborg now.

♪ The night begins to shine, night begins to shine. When we're dancing, the night begins to shine ♪ [maybe wrong]

An adversary appears, the giant robot swings its sword and misses Cyborg. The motorcycle during the transition neighs, it has turned into the horse from earlier.

♪ My heart was racing. I took you home, in the driving rain. Had my mind made up ♪

The Brain watches all this going on. His eyes narrow, and he commands his soldiers to go after Cyborg.

♪ Wanna feel your touch. When I look at you, I see the story in your eyes ♪

The winged skeletons shoot laser beams out of their mouths. Cyborg has a light shield now. Eagle-hawk's eyes glisten once again.

♪ When we're dancing, the night begins to shine ♪

The hawk gives Cyborg a katana, as he unsheathes it, it gleams. It points it towards the army, and the energy blasts them. They cry in agony.

♪ Night begins to shine, the night begins to shine ♪

♪ When we're dancing, the night begins to shine. The night begins to... ♪

(music tape is crushed by the brain, 80s cartoon is over)

The Brain: Look, Titans. Your great champion is nothing but a sack of meat and metal. He is nothing without his music.

Robin: Cyborg, you have to save us.

Cyborg: I can't. My song's gone! Forever.

The Titans besides Cyborg sing the opener of the song.

The Brain: You think that will help? He is defeated. What?

Robin: ♪ I saw you dance from the corner. Caught your name in a conversation. Playing hard to get ♪

The Brain: What is happening?

Robin: ♪ I can't understand ♪

The Brain: Stop that singing!

Titans except Cyborg: ♪ When I look at you, I see the story in your eyes. When we're dancing ♪

Cyborg: The night... begins... to... SHINE!!!

The Brain: Impossible!

Cyborgamus Prime: Music will transform you. One shall stand, one shall fall.

Starfire: (gasp) Friend Cyborg?

Cyborgamus Prime: Call me Cyborgamus Prime.

Titans except Cyborg: Wow.

Robin: Oh, yes!

Cyborgamus Prime: Titans, roll out.

♪ Night begins to shine. The night begins to shine, night begins to shine. When we're dancing, the night begins to shine... ♪
