(People keep forgetting about Thanksgiving and skipping straight to Christmas.
I'm here to change that.
Okay, this is happening at the same time as the Unsung Villains oneshots, but no prompts seemed to fit very well. Go read them before reading this.)
Gizmo bit his lip nervously and looked up at See-More. "Uh... See-More... its, well, its almost Thanksgiving... will we be celebrating this year?" He asked. See-More thought for a second. "I dunno. Does anyone else want to?" He said.
Gizmo immediately ran from the room and yelled, "Hey guys, wanna celebrate Thanksgiving this year?" The general chorus was yes.
Gizmo turned back towards See-More with a slight smirk on his face. "Lets get ready!" He said, grabbing a shopping list. See-More rolled his eye.
This was going to be one interesting Thanksgiving...
Angel wrote some more things down, humming excitedly. "I can't remember the last time I celebrated Thanksgiving!" She said, looking at the other girls (plus Gizmo). Cheshire shrugged. "I sorta did last year... but I was on assignment." Kitten giggled and said, "Daddy made sure we always celebrated. I can't think of one year where he didn't burn the turkey though."
Gizmo snorted and said, "What else do we need?" "Stuffing... I'll get real potatoes, not the mix stuff that we had at HIVE... pie filling, definitely. Apple and pumpkin. Dinner rolls..." Angel finished writing stuff down and slapped the list close.
"We're going shopping." Angel announced that afternoon. "Who's turn is it?" Billy asked, not really paying attention. "It's actually Red X, Private Hive's, and Kitten's, but we're all going." Everyone dropped what they were doing and looked at Angel. "Funny. You are kidding, right, Angel? Angel?" Punk Rocket said.
Angel sighed and smacked her forehead. "This will get done a lot faster if we all do it! Plus, it'll be fun." Then she glared at her boyfriend and threatened, "Anyone who skips out doesn't get to eat."
Billy shook his head sadly and said, "You are a cruel, cruel woman, Angel." "I try. Everyone who needs them, get the holo-rings. Now." Angel said.
Angel handed a list to each group and glared at Johnny. "Johnny. Where's your holo-ring?" She asked icily. "I told you, the day I wear one of those is the day hell freezes over." He growled. "Fine. If you get thrown in jail, its your own fault. Go, guys. And please, for the love of my sanity, don't cause a scene." Angel said.
Kyd snickered and signed, 'We're causing enough of one outside the supermarket.' Sure enough, a few people were staring. XL snorted and slowly said, "Lets get inside." The ones who hadn't heard him speak before nearly jumped half a foot, but everyone headed inside.
Angel grabbed a couple bottles of juice and snaked in a bottle of wine. "Angel. You can't hold your liquor to save your life. Put the wine back." Cheshire scolded. Angel pouted and put it back. "Plus, I know Johnny will be getting enough to turn a herd of elephants into bumbling idiots." Cheshire remarked, giggling. Angel giggled and said, "Lets see... lets go find the dinner rolls."
See-More looked at the list again. "Okay... the turkey. Great... how the hell am I supposed to know which one I'm supposed to pick?" "I sympathize. I am not sure which one is correct to get either." See-More glanced to the side and got the shock of his life.
Starfire was standing there, in civvies, looking just as concerned as See-More. "Uh... yeah. Your Starfire, right?" See-More said, sweating bullets. "Yes, and you are?" "Seymour." See-More said, thankful for the play of his name right now. "I see. Got any suggestions?" She asked.
See-More looked them over. "I uh... darn it." He couldn't use his communicator with Starfire standing there. "No idea... oh thank cripes." Red X walked up and said, "Need advice, See-More?" He asked. "Yeah... which one do I freaking pick?" He asked. Red X quickly glanced them over and pointed at one. "This one usually works good for larger gatherings." See-More picked it up and Starfire said, "Well, that sounds like it would work." Starfire grabbed two of them and said, "Thank you." Then she floated off.
See-More breathed a sigh of relief. Red X snickered and said, "Something tells me that all titans have come here." See-More sweat-dropped. "Crap."
Johnny grabbed a bag of corn and threw it in the cart, where a couple wine bottles were buried underneath vegetables. Other than the couple of odd glances he got, no one asked about who he was.
He reached for a bag of potatoes and bump a green gloved hand. "Sorry about that- what the!" It was Robin. Oh freaking GREAT.
Blackfire flew out of an aisle and set down apple pie filling in the cart, shooting a glare at Robin's back. "Please tell me you aren't Johnny Rancid." Robin said. "I would, but I'm not a good liar." Johnny grumbled, feeling slightly embarrassed that he was caught SHOPPING by Robin. It was bad enough already!
Angel walked by and said, "Fight, Johnny, and you won't get any pie." Then she kept walking. Blackfire smirked slightly and said, "We didn't see each other, clear?" Robin sighed and said, "Fine. Try anything, I will kill you. And considering all of the titans, including East and the honorary titans are in town, it will not be very hard."
Johnny rolled his eyes and said, "Fine." They kept walking.
They all regrouped at the cars. "Got everything?" Angel asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. And... are those the titans?" Titan's East and Titan's West were standing by the T-Car and Speedy's car. And they just noticed each other. "Well, this is awkward." Raven said.
Blackfire and Starfire shot hateful glances at each other. "Okay, lets get going before we kill each other." Angel said, her voice slightly higher pitched. Kyd rolled his eyes and hopped into the car. "We never saw each other." See-More said. "I agree, one eye." Bumblebee nodded quickly. "Wait... Seymour... See-More... oh dear." Starfire blushed and slightly giggled nervously.
See-More rolled his eyes and hopped into the car quickly. Everyone went their way.
The next day, the girls were up early. Blackfire was the most reluctant, but Angel said that the guys would do clean up.
Gizmo walked into the kitchen and said, "Something smells awesome!" Angel patted the younger boy's head and said, "Wait until lunch, hon."
Gizmo pouted and said, "Aw, hairballs." He sat down on the couch and said, "I'll just watch T.V."
All morning, the guys attempted to sneak into the main part of the kitchen and only got hit over the head with a frying pan (thank you, Cheshire!). Even XL's cute face didn't waver Cheshire's wrath.
Finally, Cheshire yelled, "Its done!" The guys perked up. "Why do the girls do the cooking, anyway?" Gizmo asked. "Because guys do clean up." Angel said. "Aw man." Private complained.
Then Private glared at the cherry pie. "Please tell me that isn't what I think it is." He mumbled, scooting away from it. "Chill, Private. Its not that creepy hag again." See-More said, patting his friends head. "Do I want to know?" Blackfire asked. "Long story short: There's a very good reason why we didn't see Private Hive for quite some time... and why he avoided Mother Mae Eye at the Brotherhood Of Evil incident." Gizmo said, shuddering.
"Shut up and lets eat!" (A/N you can decide who said that...)
The meal went over decently, even when Kitten and Punk got in a mini food fight and flicked peas back and forth until Cheshire threatened to stab them.
At the end, Kyd Wykkyd made sure the guys didn't run away from dish duty. OF course, he vanished about three minutes later and didn't come back for nearly twenty. When he did, his cape looked a bit hurriedly buttoned on and he had his I-am-lucky-to-have-a-girlfriend face on.
Overall, a very good thanksgiving...
Until Cheshire was caught in the titan's tower.
(The end was rushed. But evil parents who think that my writing is a waste of my time and I should be watching the game with them forced me too.
Bye byes! Have a happy thanksgiving, and remember to review!)
