M'kay, well people this is my first attempt at a TT fanfic so if there are any faults, other than say spelling or grammar, please don't like eat me or anything. Helpful criticism is by all means welcomed but no one wants to be bashed. Basically this is just a prologue and you don't even get to meet BB's friend who is causing all the tension. If I decide to continue it then you will. P
Disclaimer: Nothing related to Teen Titans belongs to me and I take no credit. Although BB's friend (Kandle) is mine as much as a figment of imagination can be.

After hours of begging, turning into just about every cuddly animal known to man and bribing BB finally managed to talk her into coming. Every other second he'd glance at the two watches on either wrist; that time was moving slowly on purpose could be the only conclusion as to why it was still 5:26 instead of 5:30pm. Pacing the halls Beast Boy had earned a couple of sidelong glances from his fellow Titans; he hadn't been this antsy since Terra but she had been dead for a while now. They knew why of course, all but one though and he hadn't been at the Tower all day. Cy hollered from the living room, where he was glued to the couch, for BB to sit down and stop acting like an animal in a cage. The joke was lost on the green hued teen and Cyborg went back to his video game, muttering something that probably wasn't a compliment.
It was Christmas time again; angels were perched on tree tops and jolly old men in red suits called out for charities. The Tower was dressed accordingly and in honor of the festivities the Titans had decided to hold a little shindig of their own. There would be music, glittery things and most importantly food of all sorts. Both the Teen Titans and Titans East were there, enjoying themselves as best they could. Villains never really did take off the holidays but at least the work load was lighter than usual.
"Gah…where is she!" Beast Boy was nearly pulling out his hair as he wandered into the living room. Plopping besides the distracted Cyborg he heaved a sad sigh. "Do you think she forgot?" Or maybe she wasn't even going to come…that's what happened last year. Something 'came up' oh so conveniently and BB had been in bad humors for about a month. Hey, after a year of planning and then the plans completely destroyed without a good reason could do that to a person.
Cyborg shrugged his shoulders, too intent on his game to notice the obvious distress that plagued his friend. He wasn't really expecting BB's friend to show, not after what happened two years ago this time. A shudder ran through his half human-half machine body. It had not been pleasant.
"Worry not friend, I'm sure she will come this time," Twittered the almost always cheery Starfire, a decorated wreath was in her hands and with ease, the girl could fly after all, she placed it above the TV set. "Bumblebee and I picked it out," She chimed as Bumblebee herself came in, a bit of tinsel protruding from a plastic bag slung over her shoulder.
"Who?" Bumblebee questioned which earned her a startled glance from all three in the room. Her mouth formed an 'O' as the realization hit her. "Does he know?" She muttered leaning against the back of the couch.
The slanted grin and nervousness that lined it gave Bumblebee her answer. "Well…I thought…maybe things would be different this year. I mean, come'n you still don't think-" A loud snort from Cy cut him off and BB's facial expression plummeted into one of despair.
Star placed a hand on her friend's slumped shoulder, "It has been two years now, maybe they won't fight…as much…" She tried to console the crestfallen Beast Boy but to no avail.
About to say something else Beast Boy was interrupted by Speedy and Robin carrying in enough food to feed an army. "You really think she's going to come? Your friend?" Robin arched a brow and Speedy stifled a laugh. They too obviously remembered.
BB groaned before burying his face into the cushions of the couch. If she didn't come he'd feel hurt and if she did come all hell would most likely break loose. Why did life complicate the most simplest of matters? "She probably won't come," He sounded overly deflated and even Cyborg dragged his attention away long enough to give BB a pat on the back.
It was then that a very agitated looking Raven came into the room, Mas y Menos running circles around her. "You're friend is here BB," She hardly had time to get out the full sentence before the now ecstatic Beast Boy hurdled over the couch, past Robin and Speedy, and disappeared down into the main hallway.
"So does this mean…" Cy looked over his shoulder at his fellow Titans, on the TV screen a livid explosion was taking place.
Robin winced and nodded, "Ya…just about."
"Lovely…" Raven commented blandly, Bumblebee shook her head and Star took on a look of horror.

I should warn you now there will be no open romance for quite some time. If you haven't already guessed most of the fanfic will be...slightly like an explosion. R&R please.
