"I am smokin you guys!" Cyborg shouted.

"Please! We're on your tail!" Changeling yelled back.

"You're going down!" Nightwing agreed.

"My controller's not working!" Kid Flash complained.

"We can't help you!"

The guys were so focused on the game that they thought they were still playing when a call came through. They stopped banging on their controllers & blinked. "Huh?!"

Aqualad snickered. "You were really into it, weren't you guys?"

"What do you want, Fish Face?" Changeling bit off.

"Ah! It's Garth to you."

"That's for Charlie to remember your name. I still get to call you whatever I want."

"Not so. As long as you call me these (hurtful) names, she won't understand why calling me Fishy is bad."

Changeling groaned. "Why didn't you guys stop me from making that bet?"

"We tried." Nightwing side-eyed him.

"Humph! What do you want, Garth?" Changeling crossed his arms.

"Do you know what today is?" Aqualad smirked.

"No." Kid Flash shook his head.

Aqualad pointed to the screen. "Look behind you."

The guys looked behind them & saw red, white & pink decorations everywhere. They gasped. "We forgot! Again!"

Aqualad laughed. "Got any plans?"

"What time is it?!" Nightwing patted himself down for his communicator.

"I can't believe it's Valentine's Day again & I forgot again!" Kid Flash wailed. "She's going to kill me!"

"What am I going to do?!" Changeling paced.

"It can't be Valentine's Day." Cyborg denied. "The girls haven't said a word."

The guys stopped.

Aqualad chuckled. "It's not. You've got three days."

They glared at him. "Then why'd you scare us?!"

"So you'd have time to come up with something this year that's not last minute."

Changeling pursed his lips. "Well thank you."

"You're welcome."

Nightwing took a deep breath. "Well we've got three days to come up with something great. What are you & Terra doing?"

"I'm coming over there & we're going to hang out again. Then probably babysit for you guys."

"That'll be a relief."

Aqualad shrugged.

"Come on, guys. We've got to put our heads together." Cyborg rubbed his hands together. "We've got to come up with something incredible."

Jinx sat down with a bowl of popcorn. "What movie are we watching today?"

"The Backup Plan." Bumble Bee sipped her drink.

"I adore this film!" Starfire squealed excitedly.

Raven set Sebastian in the play pen then came to sit on the sofa. "This is the one with Jennifer Lopez, isn't it?"

"Yes!"

"I like this movie, too." Terra popped a popcorn kernel into her mouth. "I love that he owned his own farm."

"Well let's do this." Jinx turned the movie on.

Thirty minutes into the movie, the girls lost interest. So they turned it off.

"What's up with you guys?" Jinx asked. "What's on the table for tomorrow?"

"You mean for Valentine's Day?" Terra wanted to make sure. "Garth is coming over. We'll hang out & probably watch your kids for you. It was kinda fun last year."

"Why are the guys so secretive about plans?" Bumble Bee looked around. "Sparky hasn't told me a word about what we're doing!"

"Changeling is probably wracking his brain, trying to top last year." Raven shrugged.

"Kid hasn't told me anything either." Jinx sighed. "I think he forgot."

"I wouldn't put it passed any of them to."

"Sparky better not! I have a surprise for him. I'll take it back!" Bumble Bee threatened.

The other girls giggled.
