A/N: I'm sure plenty of you guys have wished certain episodes had more. More character interaction, more romance, more depth. It's not that we don't love it, it's just that it could be even better if it was just a LITTLE longer. Of course, shows have their allotted slots of time, and Teen Titans did a great job while it ran. But while re-watching the series for the thousandth time, I found myself adding bits to each episode that I thought would have been nice additions to expand back stories or deepen relationships. Here are those bits - enjoy. (:)

For those of you reading Surfacing Shadows: These one shots do correlate to my version of season six, so you should definitely read these during the horrendously long waiting periods between updates.

Season One, Episode One: "Divide and Conquer"

Starfire threw away the remnants of the pudding of sadness with a smile. Shouting drew her attention to the television, where the boys were in the midst of playing a game of the video. Beast Boy was the one doing most of the shouting (or rather wailing, to be more accurate), presumably because he was not victorious. She did not mind, as this was the liveliest the green boy had been since Cyborg's brief period of resignation from the Titans. It had been clear to them all that he missed the older boy who had become his lugrush, as her people would say.

Raven was reading on the seating area that lined the side opposite of the one used to prepare the food. The blue-cloaked girl had yet to voice a complaint about the noise, though each time she glanced towards the couch, her scowl softened upon catching sight of Cyborg. Giggling to herself, the redhead began removing some of the ingredients Galfore had sent to her once she'd been established in her new home. It was comforting to know that even her most reserved friend was joyous at the Titan's return.

"Tighten on the turn, nitro through the checkpoint, and boo-yah! Back in the lead, ha ha!"

Beast Boy growled in response to his best friend's cackling, pressing his own nitro button to catch up. But as he did so, a red futuristic car cut in front of him. He frantically shoved the joystick to the side as his own car propelled the other forward while simultaneously sending it skidding on to the grass. "What?!"

"Thanks for the boost, Beast Boy!" Robin howled gleefully, activating his own nitro to finally catch up to Cyborg. The younger boy's whines did make him feel slightly guilty, but winning was the only thing that mattered.

"My friends!" Starfire crowed, floating towards the three. "I have prepared a traditional dessert to celebrate Cyborg's return to the Teen Titans."

"Feed it to B.B., he's done," Cyborg grunted, narrowing his red eye as he heard Beast Boy try to scramble away. Just as he had planned, the green teen knocked into Robin, jolting him enough so that the metal man could reclaim his lead just as they whizzed by the finish line. "Boo-yah-ha-ha-ha!"

It was the masked Titan's turn to cry incredulously, "What?!" before he whirled on the changeling. "You made me lose!"

"Turnabout's fair play, dude!" Beast Boy stuck out his tongue, only for Robin swiftly grabbed him in a headlock. "Eep! Wait, wait, it was Cy who set Star on me!"

"Please, I am confused. How has Friend Cyborg placed me on to you?"

The boy wonder froze for a moment at the potential meaning of the alien's words, allowing the now green snake to wriggle free. Turning to a whistling half-robot, his eyes widened beneath his mask as he accused, "You did plan that! Cheater!"

"Cheater? And what would you call that move you pulled on B, huh? Fair play?"

"Survival of the fittest."

"Hey!" Beast Boy squeaked, taking offense. "I'm the shapeshifter, so I know how that works. And what you did was sooo not it, dude!"

Eyebrow twitching, Raven took note of the page number before snapping her book shut and rising to her feet. The sound immediately gained the attention of the others, and she told them in an irritated monotone, "It seems to me that Beast Boy is the only one that did not—or, more likely, could not—perform any underhanded tricks. So quit being such immature pinheads and let's just eat."

Reminded of the dessert she had made, Starfire decided it could wait until after they partook in their evening meal. It was still strange to her how the people of Earth ate three meals at different points in the day rather than two meals at moonset, but she assumed it was only to be expected of a species that had a single stomach and a planet that had a single moon.

They all sat down at the counter while Raven levitated the food out of the refrigerator (whose contents seemed to be turning an odd shade of blue). Robin, still irked about his loss, reminded Cyborg that quitting the Titans—no matter how brief—meant that he had to be reinitiated, which even brought a smile to Raven's face. Beast Boy snickered in glee as his lugrush began protesting loudly between mouthfuls.

The redhead looked around at her friends and was once again so very grateful that of the six billion people inhabiting Earth, these four were the ones to seek her out. Even if the food was bland and the nights were dark, the Titans were nice. They had taught her that there was another word to describe her rather than rutha, and Starfire could barely stay seated as a rush of happiness filled her. No matter how long they stayed divided, she and her friends could never be conquered.

And that, indeed, was very nice.
