Chapter One
"A dreamy-eyed child staring into night
On a journey to storyteller's mind"
-Nightwish, Wishmaster
"Merry Christmas!"
The Titans shout.
"Happy Birth of days to the one you call your holy one!"
The Tamaranean, called Starfire, gleefully says.
The Titans stare at her.
"Uh it's just called Christmas, Star." The Boy Wonder, Robin, smiles at his clueless alien friend.
"Oh, then Let us increase this Mass of Christ, shall we?"
She gets another odd look from the Titans.
"Uh, you might know it as 'Blorthog' Star." Robin says, smiling again.
"Oh."
Silence.
"HAPPY BLORTHOG FRIENDS!"
The Titans laugh.
Spreading the Christmas cheer amongst each other.
All Except one.
"Hey, Where's Raven?" The Robotic one called Cyborg, asks.
"Raven? Pfft, you know her Cy. She's being all moody on the roof. And if she doesn't get down quick, she's going to miss, "Beast Boy's Famous Tofu Christmas Cake!" The Green One, know as Beast Boy Replies.
"That might be a good reason for her NOT to come down." Robin remarks. Smirking.
Cyborg laughs.
Starfire giggles.
Beast Boy frowns.
"HA HA HA. Very funny Robin."
" But I do wish that friend Raven would join us in this joyous celebration."
"Yeah man. I do too. I mean, it's kinda weird not having her down her, when we're all supposed to be down here celebrating." Cyborg looks at his feet, speaking in a sad tone.
"Holidays just isn't Raven's thing. We have to respect what she likes, and doesn't like. Just leave her alone. She'll be fine." Robin says as he pours himself a glass of eggnog.
"But we're ALL supposed to be down here! Having fun and celebrating! We should include her!"
"Leave her out of this. She chooses not to be included. Raven has her own way of...urm... Celebrating things. Now Starfire, weren't you going to sing some songs?" Robin says, quickly changing the subject.
"Oh yes! Glorious! I shall do this "Khara-oak-eh" as you call it!" Starfire replies, clapping her hands cheerfully, as she is flying over to the machine, with Robin helping her pick out a song.
Cyborg and Beast Boy groan. The last time they heard Starfire sing, neither of them could hear for a week.
Cyborg suddenly smiles happily.
"Well at least I can disconnect the circuitry to my ears!"
"Which you WON'T." Robin looks at Cyborg sternly.
"Aww man…"
Beast Boy looks above him.
"How much fun could she have by herself? Not that she has any fun normally, but, what could she doing up there? What else is there for her to drink beside eggnog?"
The hooded one breathes in.
"Herbal tea."
She inhales the warm aroma smell, mixing in with the cold crisp air.
She hears her fellow teammates below her.
Starfire's …rather unpleasant singing,
And Beast Boy and Cyborg's screams, as if they were being tortured.
"Those two exaggerate things too much." She thinks as she breathes in again.
She sighs.
She was glad Robin respected her beliefs, she wishes that the others would stop being so nosey.
"I know they're trying to help but…"
Raven sits down on the snow, followed by the small crunching noises of the white powder.
She looks up.
A shooting star passes over her head, unnoticed.
"I wish everyone would stop treating me, like a little girl who needs help. I can control my powers. I can cantrol my emotions. They never seem to get it, they never seem to understand..."
"No one can understand me."
"I don't need help."
"No matter what they think or say..."
"I don't need help fighting my own battles."
