What little Petra saw
...
(( Hello everyone. I'm awfully SORRY for my last stupid story, and I'm glad I threw it away. This is my new story. Dedicated to Christmas :). We pledge on this joyous event that we can implement the teachings of our beloved savior Jesus Christ, and realize the painful times he passed through only to present what is good for man.))
((Enjoy. And that's an order ;P))

It's been quite a long time the legendary Teen Titans superhero team broke up, and everyone is leading their respective grown- up lives. The Civil life.
Dick Grayson, aka Robin the Boy Wonder (or Blunder, whatever you wanna call him) is leading a "Happily Ever After" life with his Queen Kori Anders, the former Teen Titan Starfire of Tamaran.
Victor Stone, the former bad-guy-butt-kicking tinman Cyborg, didn't get married, and has pledged never to, though he has got millions of female admirers wanting to take his hand. Bad luck for them, for Sarasim was the only one who won his heart, and no one can Ever take her place in anyway.
And as for the remaining two, it's been almost 7 years Garfield Mark Logan and Rachel Roth (aka Beast Boy and Raven respectively) got married, and about 5 years they gave birth to their only daughter, Petra. They chose the name "Petra" in remembrance of their long lost beloved friend, the Mysterious Terra.
And this is how life lead them.
The answer is:
Blowing in the wind
But still,
Life is Beautiful.
...
Christmas is knocking at the door and Garfield and Raven have begun the decorations. And sweet little Petra can't wait to see Santa. She was told uncountable times that Santa would come only to leave presents under their Xmas tree, but how would you keep the four-year-old away from her unbound thoughts?
The preschooler waited for Santa with her eyes wide open, two hands leaned upon the window glass and her mind wandering in her world of fantastic childish imaginations. She would stare out through the window all day if her parents hadn't tried diverting her attention. Unfortunately, their success wouldn't go far enough, because Petra had to ask for a LOT of gifts and wishes from Santa.
She waited, waited and waited.
And at her room's door, her parents together watched their beautiful little child staring at the sky to see Santa come in his reindeer sledge. Hopes and expectations abound.
...
"We should do something for her, Garfield", Raven's growing concern for their little daughter was evident in her tone.
"But how could I be Santa, Rae? I'm green, and if you haven't noticed, Santa isn't Green!", replies a rather irritated though worried Beast Boy.
"I know, but..."
Raven was cut off by her dear husband, who almost yelled at her ears,
"HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BREAK HER LITTLE HEART LIKE THAT?! ARE YOU GONNA BE SANTA YOURSELF OR DO SOME SORTA MAGIC AND..."
Now Beast Boy was cut off by her recently enlightened woman,
"Magic...?
MAGIC!
Garfield! You're a genius!"
Before Garfield could realize her words, we was pulled by his collar and given the most wonderful kiss by this wonderful woman.
Raven continued, " Magic is a part of my soul. I'm partly made out of it. So, I have to practice magic to keep my powers perfect. And my powers to keep me perfect..."
"Will you stop the explanation and skip to the main part, Rae?", asked Beast Boy, who got rather confused by Raven's activities.
"... I'm saying that I've still got my magic books and potions, and maybe...
...I'll be able to find some spell or potion that will temporarily vanish your green skin tone."
Getting enlightened by the dark empath's words, he gave his famous toothy grin and stole yet another kiss from her.
"I love you, Raven!"
"Yeah, your love has increased suddenly, I can see that.", sarcasm evident in her voice.
"Aw,.. Come on, Rae!", pouted he.
Raven suddenly got angry by Garfield's unneeded fuss, and said,
"Are you gonna shout unnecessarily like this and get my daughter up scared?"
"Oh... Sorry!" Beast Boy begged pardon. He dared ask his enraged wife in a scared tone, "O my goodness! She's asleep, isn't she!"
Beast Boy went blank thinking if he'd done something unforgivable until was confirmed by Raven that his little angel was fast asleep.
"Phew!", he sighed.
...
The next morning Raven got the whole morning daily schedule well- ordered, as usual. Sending her little one off to Kindergarten and her unwilling husband to office, she managed her time to search for any potion or spell for changing skin color temporarily, which should be done before her office time. By the boon of her well- controlled powers, she was able to find a potion which would serve the exact purpose. And she took no more than half an hour to find and study the potion.
A superhero indeed!
...
After dinner, Garfield and Raven put little Petra to sleep and took the potion to task.
"Just one drop in a half cup of water, and ready to go!", exclaimed Raven.
"You... sure about this, Rae?"
"What do you think?",she questioned back.
She prepared the potion properly and gave it to him.
Beast Boy closed his eyes and declared,
"Here goes nothing!"
He gulped up the whole prepared potion in a breath. He felt a burning sensation down his throat, through his stomach, but his attention was suddenly diverted towards Raven, who had screamed abnormally.
Beast Boy got frightened and before he could do or ask anything, Raven grabbed his hand and took him in front of the big mirror in their room.
"I can't believe this", the words unconsciously slipped from his mouth. He was all fair and blond... just like he was before his great incident.
"Neither can I", Raven's words reminded him of her presence.
"You're looking ... Handsome, Garfield", commented Raven, in a rather playful manner.
"As if I never were one?", flirted her spouse.
"Oh Garfield!... Stop talking!". Then, she planted two soft little kisses on his two fair cheeks.
"This really is unbelievable", she gasped.
"But why didn't you give me this before?", asked Garfield in his childish tone.
Raven calmly replied, " I love the way you are, Gar..."
The two stood in front of the mirror, all eyes on Garfield's reflection on it.
...
The potion's effect lasted an hour, as it was supposed to.
Garfield prayed, "Please let it work on the right time!"
