Merry Christmas Titans!
"Robin, please tell me why we are bringing out a tree and putting cute little balls on them." Starfire asked. She plopped a box of Christmas decorations on the floor.
"Its for Chirstmas Star," He answered.
"But what is Christmas???" She asked a second time
"Its a holiday, you know, jingle bells batman smells.." Beast Boy hummed away
"HEY!" Robin was insulted
"Well, its true" Beast Boy gave Robin a look. A look that said 'You know what comes next'
"Don't you even..." Robin warned BB
"Robin....layed....an.....egg!" Beast Boy torured Robin word by word. But Robin just shrugged it off and went back to decorating.
"Robin layed an egg and didn't even tell me?" Silly Starfire! All the Titans fell to the floor in laughter except Robin who had his fists clutched and Raven who hid her face in a book, but you could really tell she was just hiding her giggling face. "Whats so funny?" Everyone kept craking up until about 5 minutes later. "Please tell me about Christmas and tell me what is so funny about Robin laying an egg? All the male people of my planet do."(O.O?) She just didn't get it. Everyone started to laugh again and Raven dropped the book on the table, throwing her head back in laughter, just until the Gamestation blew up. Then silence filled the room.
"Hey!" Cyborg and Beast Boy cradled the broken pieces of the Gamestation.
"Pfft! Serves you right" Robin grinned at them. And then went back to the tree, completely forgetting about Starfire. Raven stood up still smiling and took Starfire aside.
"That song Beast Boy was singing was something people made up to make fun of Batman and Robin." Raven explained how Robin used to be teamed up with Batman. "We'll watch the old re-runs later, but we better help him put the decorations up" Raven started to walk away
"But what about Christmas!" Starfire wined, being ignored for about the 5th time.
"I'll tell you about Christmas Star!" BB volunteered. He hoped up from the table where he and Cyborg were tring to put the pieces of the Gamestation back together. "It all started with a big jolly guy named Santa Clause. One day he found out that a whole bunch of kids all over the world didn't have any toys. So hes all: HO HO HO I got to go around the whole world with my magic reindeer that can fly and give presents to all the good boys and girls. And thats how Christmas got started." He explained.
"Oh such a wonderful holiday. Much like Tameranian holiday, Glopclopgorph(?). But tell me, what happens to the ones who arent good?" Starfire asked
"I was just getting to that! I'm going to get a brand new Gamestation for Christmas because I've been good! And naughty old Raven's gonna get coal! And so is Cyborg" Beast Boy smiled pridefully.
"Its your own fault Beast Boy, talking about Robins laying eggs....hmm" Raven pushed it all in BBs face.
"Hey! Why me? I've been good!" Cyborg objected from the table. "And your going to have to share"
"Yea, Beast Boy. And if you want that Gamestation you better hurry and tell Santa because tomorrows Christmas." Robin was jokin with Beast Boy, Not knowing that he STILL believed in Santa(not that I'm sayin hes not real, right?)
"Thats not what happened you goon!" Raven jumped in out of nowhere.
"Oh yea, then why do we really celebrate Christmas?" Beast Boy asked, moody
"I thought it had to do with a baby in a manger or something. I remember ANGELS! Oh Galadriel, wave those wings!" Robin went into a fantasy world. Oh did I just say that? He thought
"Um.....Robin, Galadriel is an elf in Lord of The Rings, not an angel in the story of Christmas" Cyborg informed. Robin blushed
"I-I knew that" He turned around and changed the subject "Will you guys help with this tree?"
"Sorry Robin, Me and Star have ta write a quick letter to Santa before tonight. HE HAS TO KNOW!!!" BB took a pen, a couple sheets of paper, Starfire and started to write.
"I can help" Cyborg bent over to pick up some lights when Raven butted in.
"Theres an easier way you know" A black aura smothered the decoration still in the box and then moved over to the tree. It started to spin all around the tree and then when it all cleared out itevealed itself to be beautiful and sparkling with tinsle and the colored lights. "Somethings missing..." She searched the boxes until she found an angel. It was snow white with a little halo that rested on its blondish brunette hair. Its eyes were closed as if listening to some wonderful music that is was playing on the harp in its arms. Raven smiled "Perfect" She floated up to the top of the 8 foot tree and placed it gently on top. "Thats how you decorate a tree" she said
"Sweet Raven!" Beast Boy said
"Nice" Cyborg gasped
"Cool" Said Robin
"Wonderful!" Starfire complimented her friend.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Raven took a bow, in a pretty good mood
"DONE!" Beast Boy announced after 5 minutes of nothing. He held up his letter and Stars.
Dear Santa,
How are you? I'm fine. I've been a very good boy this year and wish for a Gamestation for Christmas, It may be short notice but I know you can do it! And I know you will get all the other good kids what they want.
Your Good Friend,
Garfield Logan
(Beast Boy)
And Stars Read:
Greetings one called Santa. I am not of this planet and I am sorry if you think I have been bad. But I assure you I have not. Please feel free to get me whatever you wish for I am not knowing of what I want. But I would like one of those Rainbow Monkeys I see on Codename: Kids Next Door.
Your Alien Friend,
Starfire
"Good" Robin said, scanning the letters. "But how are you going to get it to Santa so fast?"
"Its called..Polar Express" Beast Boy informed them. And ran out the door, with the letters, to who knows where.
Early------------------------------------------------------------Christmas Morning----------------------------------------------
Starfire snuck down the hallway and headed for a noise she had just heard in the room of living-I mean the living room. It was a fun sound that resembled bells. She gently leaned over the corner of the door way and saw a rather large man in red and white clothes, taking things out of a bag and setting them under the tree. Santa? Oh it IS Santa! She thought to herself. Starfire felt a tap on her shoulder and when she turned around, behold, it was Raven.
"RAVEN! MMmmmffff" Starfire forgot who was in the next room and after blurting out Ravens name Raven covered her mouth.
"SHhh!" Raven whispered "What? Do you want him to take away our stuff?" She peared over the edge and found that the man in the living room had not heard them. "Close call" Raven smiled a 'school girl' smile and said "Don't let him hear you" A couple minutes of silence and watching went by. Untill the jolly old chap packed up his sack and dissapered into thin air. The two girls started for the christmas tree to snoop around and see what they got.
Starfire counted at least 15 presents and they searched the pile. Three for each Titan. Every set of three was a different color. One group of was green with a darker shade of green dots all over, Beast Boys. Another set of gifts were red with a green ribbon, obviously Robins. Next to that were blue patterns similar to Cyborgs 'pattern'. And then next to those were another set, Black with silver sparkles, Ravens. And far, far, under the tree was a set that was a glittering purple with green ribbon, Starfires.
"Oh, Raven" Starfire gawked at the beautiful gifts.
"I know, Its nice for earth to have holidays like this, isnt it?" That was a question that didn't need to be answered. Raven checked the clock, 1:28 AM. "Lets get to sleep before we wake the others" Starfire and Raven headed off to bed.
------------------------LATER THAT MORNING------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"1.....2....3....GO!" Cyborg and BB shouted for the titans to start opening their gifts. When they were all finished, they were very pleased at what they got.
Robin got:A wireless-ready Inspiron 8200 and Latitude C840 notebook that came with Intel's new Mobile Pentium 4 processors-M, NVIDIA's new GeForce4 440 Go graphics controllers, 15-inch high-resolution displays, and multiple high-speed optical drives (THAT was a mouthful), A jet pack so that he can finaly fly, and a brand new cape. Very nifty!
Beast Boy got: Same computer as Robin, A fake leather journal (save the cows!) and pen with his name inscribed on both, And just what es ALWAYS wanted, a new Gamestation.
Cyborg got: A couple of Gamestation games, Rocket boots (he really needs to fly), and A poster of Puffy AmiYumi.
Raven got: A real leather Diary and a pen with her name inscribed on both, a gothic fountain ( I saw one at the store, looks really cool) And a CD player.
Starfire got: A happy-hug rainbow monkey, Snow clothes with her name sown on in cursive, and a Dancing Hamster (I got one, very amusing)
After a few minutes of fooling around with what they got Beast Boy announced the Titan Gift Exchange. A few weeks ago they all pulled names from a hat to figure who they would get a present. Beast Boy got Cyborg and vise versa. Robin got Starfire and vise versa. And Raven had to find something that all the Titans could use.
"Cyborg," Beast Boy said "I got you.." He pulled something out from behind his back. After Cyborg opended it, he didn't know what to say. It was osmething that resembled a gun...but not quite. Beast Boy just stood there grinning. After Cyborg didn't say anything, Beast Boy told him what it was. "Its a paintball gun...I thought you could do something with it and make it into a mega paint thingy. I got one for me so we could, ya know, kill eachother"
"Oh sweet!" Cyborg turned it and inspected it. "Oh yea I really could.....Thanks" He handed Beast Boy his gift. Beast Boy tore it open to find 'City of Heroes'. "You can play it on the computer, I know were real superheroes but this looked pretty cool"
"Thanks Cy, This rox!" He opended it up and looked at its abilities and graphics. "OOps..Uh Robin and Starfire, you guys are next"
"Robin, I am pleased to give you this gift" She handed his a porely wrapped present. Tape everywhere. But Robin politley opend it up and found the coolest thing he had ever found. There was a Chirstmas card with a cute picture no doubt, Starfire had drawn. Inside of the card was a little note.
The most wonderful things I have ever seen,
Flowers, puppies and even our team,
Kittens, Tameran, and Earth too
But the most wonderful thing I have ever seen is you
Merry Christmas,
Love, Starfire
He looked under the card and saw a Gameboy SP. It was the best thing he had ever gotten. Not the Gameboy as much as the love filled card. It didn't rhyme as perfect as one would think it should, but it was perfect in every way in Robin eyes.
"Starfire, This is awsome...Thanks" He smiled and felt like swinging his arms on her and hugging her till they died, But he was able to hold himself back. "It doesn't really add up to what I got you though." He went out to the hallway and came back with a puppy! It was a black puppy with a tip of grey on the end of its tail.
"OH ROBIN!" Starfire went to hug the dog and Robin but Cyborg, BB, and Raven jumped in to stop her, wouldn't want anyone to die on Christmas...would they? "Oh a puppy is so adorable! Whats its name?"
"No name yet, Star" Robin said "Whatever name you want to name it, its the name"(?)
"I have always liked a certain name.." Starfire beat around the bush
"Well, what is it Star?" Beast Boy hurried her
"Is it a boy or a girl?" She asked
"Its a girl" Robin said
"How about Sophie?" Starfire suggested
"Its Sophie then" said Cyborg. After about a half hour later of playing around with the puppy, they turned to Raven. But instead of her giving them a gift first, they all gave her 10 dollars each. Thats 40
bucks altogether. Then she gave them what she got. First she drug over a neatly wrapped gift and set it in front of the Titans.
"Well," She said "Go ahead, have fun" All the Titans and Sophie ripped the box open.
"CANDY!!!!!!!! There has to be atleast 25 pounds of it!!!!" Beast Boy said enthusiasticlly
"Raven.....how did you do this?" Robin asked in between bites of chocolate and more chocolate.
"Oh, I have my ways, but thats not all.." One by one Raven pulled out a sled designed for each of the Titans. They were blue, green, black, purple, and red. And each had their names on it.
"Raven, you rock!" Beast Boy said, taking his.
"I thought we'd go ahead and go sledding all day, could be fun" Said Raven
"Sounds like a plan" Cyborg said
"Robin," Said Starfire, as they all flew off into the morning sky holding their sled "You will have to teach me your earthly ways of the magical sled." And they headed for their day of Christmas fun.
---------------------------------------------THE END-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There, a nice Christmas story, no plot or anything, just fun. If I get enough reveiws I'll do some for the other major holidays too. :-) Thanks for reading.
