Oscar and Paine had been going out for a year now and things were going great. They had just finished their first year of college and they decided it was a great opportunity for both families to have dinner together: The Logan's and the West's. They all went to a restaurant near downtown of Jump City. Kid Flash (who is now just Flash) and Jinx had, besides Oscar (20), a now twelve year old daughter called Lucy. The Logan's had three beautiful children, two girls: Paine (19) and Lilith (10), and a boy: Murdoc (17). Murdoc, however, was feeling pretty sick so decided not to come.

The truth was that Jinx and Raven were really good friends, they usually met every weekend to talk or watch a movie or something. Flash and Garfield didn't hang out as much anymore, but they had a lot in common so anytime they did meet they had a lot of fun.

"Okay… Worst villain ever?" Asked Flash

"That's easy, that talking tofu king you guys told me about." Answered Jinx

"Okay, first of all, it's Newfu." Said Garfield "Second, just because I defeated him single-handedly doesn't mean he was easy. Worst supervillain HAS to be the Puppet King. What do you think, Rae?"

"For me it's always been Dr. Light." She answered and they all nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Dr. Light was bad, but I always thought Control Freak was worse." Said Flash. They all laughed, even the kids who had heard stories about the infamous Control Freak.

They continued talking about the past for a while. Eventually they skipped to the present, but neither Lucy nor Lilith were really paying attention:

"So… A whole year huh?" Said Garfield with an evil grin on his face. Paine rolled her eyes but couldn't avoid smiling a little.

"Don't they just make the cutest couple?" Flash asked just to tease them, they both blushed.

"Don't listen to him, he thinks he's being funny." Said Jinx and they all laughed.

They kept sharing laughs and stories and, eventually, they talked about Robin and Starfire's 25th anniversary:

"Its next week, isn't?" Asked Paine.

Raven nodded. "And, apparently, they're going to have a second honeymoon or something."

"See, that's a couple I never thought would last. But, not only are they still a couple but they've also never had a fight." Said Jinx, however she soon saw that she was wrong.

"That's not true. Remember the year he decided to become Nightwing? It was the same year Raven and I helped Cyborg and Bumble Bee to start going out." Asked Garfield.

Paine, seeing the reaction on their parents, decided to ask: "What? What happened?"

"Nothing, they got in to a little argument. Besides, it's a long story." Answered Flash.

"I don't believe you guys. Robin and Starfire arguing, not possible." Said Oscar.

"Oh, but it is. And it happened. It's actually a great story; I think we should tell them." Garfield said as he looked at Raven.

She rolled her eyes and said: "Fine… About thirty or so years ago…"

27th of December 12:00

Jump City, in general, was full of cheer. But not only because of the holidays were the people so delighted, the fact that the crime had virtually disappeared was the real reason of their happiness. Three months had passed since any supervillain had tried to rob a bank or defeat the Teen Titans.

So the Titans were living the most peaceful holidays they had ever celebrated together and they all seemed to enjoy it very much. It was Starfire's favorite time of the year, giving presents, singing carols and playing in the snow were some of her favorite things of the year. Cyborg was especially happy this year since he had started going out with Bumble Bee three weeks ago (thanks to a green and purple couple). And Beast Boy and Raven hadn't had another fight since Their First Argument (read my previous story… please). In fact, things were even better than before, they were both as in love as you can be.

Yes, they were all so very happy, all but one boy. A short, dark hair boy, who always wore a mask, wasn't having the best of Holidays. This boy's name was Robin. His girlfriend, Starfire, had insisted many times for him to join her on these fun holiday activities, but he rejected all of them. Only on the day of Christmas did he seem to have fun and enjoy exchanging gifts. But two days had passed since and not a single smile was seen from him in those days.

One day, Raven, Bee, Cyborg and Beast Boy, came back from their walk, not knowing that that day they were going to find out what was troubling their friend.

"Dude, it's freezing out there." Beast Boy. The four of them had just arrived and were walking up the stairs to the living room.

"Really? I wasn't cold at all." Bumble Bee said as she grabbed Cyborg's arm and rested her head on it.

"Yeah, the only reason you're cold is because you got hit by so many snowballs." He said with a grin on his face. Beast Boy ignored him; he was too cold to think of a comeback.

Before they could get in the living room the doors slid opened and saw Starfire. She was wearing oven mitts and an apron.

"Friends! You have returned from the double date." She said as she hugged all four of them.

"It wasn't a double date, Starfire. We just went for a wal-" Said Raven who was interrupted by Cyborg.

"Mmmm-hmmmm what is that delicious smell? Is that lunch?" Asked a hyped Cyborg as the smell was in fact delicious. Could Starfire have cooked something that smelled so good?

"Yes, it is. I have just finished, please come and sit and we shall start the eating."

Cyborg got loose from Bee's grip and ran towards the table to see the wonders Starfire had cooked. If it tasted as good as it smelled and looked it would taste like paradise. And to think that a few years ago she was the worst cook he knew. Bee went to join her delighted boyfriend. Raven was going to also sit down but was stopped by Beast Boy at the entrance of the living room.

"Wait!" Beast Boy said quickly.

"What? What is it Beast Boy?" She asked, worried that something was wrong.

"You're under the mistletoe." He said as he pointed at the top of the door. "Somebody should kiss you..." He said with a grin.

"…" She acted like she didn't think that was cute, although she did. "Beast Boy, you do know we're a couple and, therefore, you don't need an excuse to kiss me, right?"

"I know." He said and then kissed her. He later went to the table; Raven was going to follow him but remembered she had to ask Starfire something. She was taking off her apron and was heading, no doubt, to Robin's room to tell him lunch was ready.

"Starfire, wait." She said in a low voice as she grabbed her arm.

"Yes?" She asked confused.

"Is everything alright with Robin? He's been acting pretty strange lately." Robin had never been too festive, but this year it seemed he was less than usual. Something was troubling him for sure.

"Yes, I have noticed too. I asked him a few days ago if he was alright. He did not tell me anything. Just that everything was fine and I shouldn't be worried." Her happy expression had gone and she was clearly worried that something WAS wrong with Robin. Maybe he had grown tired of their relationship?

Raven, noticing her friend's change of expression, quickly tried to cheer her up: "I'm sure it's nothing, Starfire. Robin has never agreed with the cold and the snow." She said with a fake smile, but it worked. She seemed happy again.

Starfire went to get Robin and soon all six were at the table ready to eat. Usually they all ate whenever they wanted, but it was the Holidays. Even though Christmas had already passed, they had a guest so it was a special occasion anyway. First on the menu was Starfire's soup, it was delicious.

"This soup is the best soup in the history of soups." Beast Boy had to say, and his was with no meat, so imagine how the others were!

Lunch went as anybody would expect. Beast Boy and Cyborg put the humor, Starfire was the only one really laughing, while Raven and Bee just rolled there eyes at each stupid joke they would say. Although a couple of times they had to try really hard NOT to laugh.

As for Robin, he just stared at his plate. Very serious and eating really little, Starfire asked him once if he was feeling good but he just nodded. Finally Bumble Bee said:

"Come on Robin, what's the matter? You've been acting like an EMO ever since I've gotten here." She said (okay… she didn't say EMO but she was probably thinking it.)

Everybody just froze and looked at Bee (Cyborg was actually going to have a spoonful of soup and froze mid way, with his mouth open). They had known Robin the most, yet it was Bumble Bee who asked him directly. They quickly looked at Robin to see his reaction; he just stared at Bumble Bee with an indifferent look.

"You're right." He finally said. "You guys deserve an explanation." That surprised them even more. "The reason I've been acting so strange lately is because I've been asking myself something that is very important. I had to think it through a lot before making a decision." He spoke very serious; he looked at each and every one of them. "I've decided to quit the Teen Titans."

Nobody expected that. Cyborg even dropped his spoon which made some soup splash at Beast Boy who was next to him. Any other moment he would've yelled in pain of how hot the soup was, but he was so surprised he didn't even notice it.

"Dude, are you serious?" Beast Boy had to ask.

He simply nodded, although his expression was the same.

"Why? I mean, why now?" Raven asked.

"Because Jump City doesn't need me anymore. There hasn't been a single decent supervillain since Tokyo, and that was more than a year ago." Robin answered.

"But this is good, is it not?" Starfire asked in a sad and nervous tone.

"It is, but I've dedicated my entire life to become a super hero and defeating those who deserve it. But lately I've been feeling useless, like I'm just hanging out with my friends and nothing more."

"Where will you go?" Asked Cyborg.

"I don't know, yet." Robin answered but was cut off by Starfire getting up and screaming at him.

"That is nonsense! This city still needs you, WE still need you. You are our leader, you mustn't abandon us."

Robin also got up but did so to try and calm her.

"Starfire… You've got to understand, all my life has been centered on becoming a great super hero. Being the leader of the Teen Titans has given me a lot of experience but it's time for me to move on."

"Well if this is your decision than I hope you are happy with it." She said sarcastically as she walked towards the door.

"I was hoping you would join me, Star…"

Starfire stopped and walked back at Robin and pointed her finger at him.

"I shall not join you, this is my home away from home and I do not desire for that to change. Maybe next time you will ask my opinion before making a decision like this one." After that she stormed out of the living room, followed by Robin trying to explain himself.

The four were still with their eyes wide open and in shock. They all looked at Bumble Bee who had started the whole thing.

"What?" Bumble Bee asked. "He was going to say it sooner or later…"

So… What do you guys think about the first chapter?
