Hey, The Jonny T Factor here, and I love Christmas. What's not to love about it? It's Jesus' birthday. We get presents for free. We get together with the family. It's perfect. Well, I thought I'd share the Christmas spirit with all of the readers out there. It's a countdown to the first story I will ever star in, Merry Christmas, Jonny T. There are nine one-shots leading up to it. I will post a story each day until my very last story that will be posted on Christmas. I hope you enjoy the Countdown. And I hope you all will have a Merry Christmas. And yes, I said Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas!


Teen Titans


A Gift For A Raven

The Titans sat around in the living room, watching Christmas specials on TV.

"Oh, I most enjoy these shows of the day of holly you call 'Christmas'!" Starfire squeals, "I most enjoy the one of the flying animal of rain that has the red nose."

"Yeah, some people just get very childish when they see these old things." Cyborg states, "HEY, FROSTY'S COMING UP NEXT!"

"EEEEEEHHH!" Starfire squeals louder, "The man of snow!"

"How can you put up with her, Rob?" Beast Boy questions, "I mean, doesn't it get annoying?"

"I've had worse." Robin answers, taking a sip of his hot chocolate. Beast Boy looks over to see Raven at the kitchen table, reading a book.

"Hey, Ra, why you read?" Beast Boy questions, "It's Christmas Eve, you should be watching TV and drinking hot chocolate."

"I'm not the holly jolly type." Raven answers, not even looking up from her book. Beast Boy stands and strolls over to the table.

"Is that all you do is read?" Beast Boy questions, "Man, you're such a geek."

"Maybe people just really like reading." Raven replies, "You should try it sometime. Maybe something that isn't written by Dr. Suess."

"BB, you just got your ass toasted by Raven!" Cyborg laughs, along with the others.

"Oh yeah?" Beast Boy replies, "Atleast I'm not a demon!" The whole room becomes silent. Raven grabs her book, pushes Beast Boy to the groud, and runs out of the living room.

"What was that about?" Beast Boy questions.

"Beast Boy, on my planet, you would be called the Flargax!" Starfire yells, "But on this planet, I believe you would be called the dick!"

"What?" Beast Boy questions.

"Star's right, that was un-called for." Robin replies.

"What did I do?" Beast Boy questions, confused.

"You know how Raven is about her past!" Cyborg yells.

"I didn't think about that!" Beast Boy informs.

"Do you ever think, BB?" Cyborg questions. All of the Titans head towards the door.

"Wait, I was just messing around!" Beast Boy states, "Come on, Cy!"

"What, are you gonna make fun of me being a cyborg now?" Cyborg growls, then leaves the room. Beast Boy stands alone in the living room.

"It was just a joke." Beast Boy says to himself. He stroll over back to the couch. "Great, now how am I gonna fix this?" he questions himself. He sits for awhile, then remembers something. "Wait a sec, it's Christmas Eve, and all the stores are still open!" he states, "I'll go get Raven and present, and she might forgive me!" With that, Beast Boy rushes out of the living room. He soon exits the tower and heads into the city. Beast Boy looks around every store he could find, looking for the perfect present for Raven. He enters a book store. "I'm sure I can find something in here." Beast Boy says to himself. He searches the shelves, but with no luck. Beast Boy goes up to the counter, in hopes that the girl standing there would be able to help. "Excuse me?" Beast Boy questions, "Can you help me?"

"Sure." the girl behind the counter answers, "What do you need?"

"Well, I'm trying to find a book for this girl I know." Beast Boy explains.

"What's her style?" the girl questions.

"She's kind of gothic." Beast Boy informs.

"Well, most girls like Twilight." the girl replies.

"Will that earn a girl's forgiveness?" Beast Boy questions. The girl gives him a confused look.

"How did you make her mad?" the girl replies.

"I kind of made fun of her." Beast Boy explains.

"Then get her a real gift." the girl replies, "Maybe some sweet and thoughtful?"

"A book isn't thoughtful?" Beast Boy questions, "Even if the girl likes to read?"

"No!" the girl yells, "Now you get out of here and get that poor girl something wonderful!" Beast Boy slowly backs out of the store.

"That was a little strange." Beast Boy says to himself, "Well, this is just great. I been looking everywhere, and can't find a simple present for Raven. God, I'm such a dumbass." He strolls down the halls of the city mall. He then comes upon a small store. He reads the sign that said 'Outsider Wear'. "Hey, Raven comes here all the time!" Beast Boy states, "I really am a dumbass, I should came here first!" He rushes into the store. When searches around the store full of nothing but creepy clothing. He somehow finds his way to the counter, where a gothic looking girl was standing at. "Uh... hi." Beast Boy greets, "I'm trying to find..."

"Aren't you one of Raven's friends?" the girl questions.

"You know Raven?" Beast Boy replies.

"Yeah, she comes here, like, all the time." the girl answers, "So, what do you want?"

"Oh... uh... well, I'm looking for a present for her." Beast explains.

"Well, you came to the right place." the girl replies, "I know what Raven likes."

"That's awesome!" Beast Boy informs, "I've been looking all over town for something she would like."

"Why?" the girl questions, "Is she your girlfriend?"

"Uh... no." Beast Boy answers, "I just made a joke, and it kind of pissed her off."

"What did you say?" the girl questions.

"Well, I made a joke about her being a demon." Beast Boy answers. The girl slaps Beast Boy in the face.

"You fucking pig!" the girl yells, "How could you do such a thing?"

"I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking!" Beast Boy replies, "That's why I've been searching for something she'll really like!"

"Maybe you should try something that doesn't make her feel even more like a demon!" the girl states, "Something that make her feel like she's a special person! You won't find anything like that here."

"Well, do you know anything?" Beast Boy questions.

"Think of something on your own, jackass!" the girl answers, "Now get the fuck out of my store!"

"Fine!" Beast Boy replies. He leaves the store. He heads over to a bench in the center of the mall. "Oh, man, I really screwed up." he says to himself. He sits in silence for a moment. A sight soon catches his eyes. He looks over to see a pair of doves sitting in a window of a pet shop. He strolls over to them. He thinks for a moment. "Yeah, like Raven would ever like these." he says to himself. He walks away from the window, then stops in his tracks. "Wait a sec." he says. He runs back to the window. "That's it!" he states.

Later that night, Raven laid in her room, trying to forget about about what Beast Boy said hours ago. All of a sudden, there was a knock on her door. Raven gets up from her bed and walks to the door. She opens it to find there was no one there. Before she could close the door, she looks down to see two doves in a cage in front of her door. There was a card attached to it. She picked up the card and read.

"Dear Raven; I am truly sorry about what I said. It was a great big lie. You are not a demon, because demons don't have souls like you do. On the outside, you appear to be as black a coal. But on the inside, you are as white as silk. You look like a raven, but you're really a dove. I love you, and hope that our friendship will last forever. Merry Christmas, BB."

Raven smiled, and held card to her chest. She then picked up the bird cage and brought it into her room.

An hour later, Beast Boy laid motionless on his bed, asleep. His door opened and Raven entered the room. She strolled over to Beast Boy, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Merry Christmas, Beast Boy." Raven whispers into his ear. She leaves a note and exits the room. A small smile comes across Beast Boy's face.
