"A little more to your left!" Cyborg called to a green owl as it flapped in midair trying to hang a string of Christmas lights. "Little more.little more.NO NO too much!" Cyborg shouted, slapping his forehead with his hand. The small owl fluttered to its right, draped the cord onto a hook on the ceiling, then glided back down to the ground.
"Hey, I don't remember saying you were finished!" Cyborg muttered as he turned to Best boy who was no his normal form again. "It's still crooked." Best boy cocked his head to one side then shot Cyborg a dirty look. "Dude, it is so perfect" he growled shaking his head. Cyborg stuck his tongue out, then moved to pick up another string of lights.
Over in the corner Starfire was helping Robin decorate a large tree for the upcoming holiday. "I am most enjoying this tradition you call decking the tree" Starfire nodded as Robin handed her a red ornament to hang on a branch. "However, I do not understand what the tree did that was so wrong that it need be decked?" Robin gave a small chuckle and rolled his eyes as Star flew to the top of the tree and hung another ornament. "Its just something we do, it makes the place look nice for Christmas" Starfire nodded and gave a big trademark smile.
Robin bent down and picked up a large Santa hat that had been lying on the floor. He gave a small smile, and proceeded to put it on, however he was interrupted by the massive amount of screaming that was coming from Beast boy (who was now completely immersed in tangled Christmas lights that we slowly wrapping around him and strangling him). "Mph mph mumump merph!" he attempted to cry, as Cyborg just stood there laughing hysterically.
Beast boy began to bounce up and down, banging into the sofa and crashing to the floor, bringing down a wreath that had been hanging from a window on top of him. "Hey! It took me twenty min. to hang that up there!" Cyborg hollered now grabbing onto Beast boy and trying his best to untangle him. Robin shook his head. He lifted the wreath up from the floor and put it in a safe spot before going to help Cyborg and Starfire in their usless attempts to untie Beast boy (who was wriggling so much the wires only got tighter).
Raven was watching the whole thing from the stair case. "Azarath.Metrion.Zynthos!" she whispered. The black and white lights surrounded Beast boy as the mangled cords began to untie themselves. "Heh heh, thanks Raven." Beast boy chuckled as soon as he was free enough to speak. Raven only nodded before proceeding over to a chair and sitting down.
"Raven do you not wish to assist us in the seasoned joy making?" Star asked, walking over to Raven's chair. "You can deck the tree (Robin rolled his eyes), or make little sugar treats in shapes of funny characters, then bite their heads off?!" Raven looked around the room then turned to Starfire. "No." She muttered, startling Starfire for a moment. "Aw. Give the little lady a string of lights or something." Cyborg smiled as he tried to give the star for the top of the tree to Raven. She held her hand up and pushed it away. "C'mon Raven, Christmas is the best time of year, a time to enjoy family and love, you should be happy." Robin extended his hand as Star nodded in agreement. Raven stood up and began to walk towards the stairs. "Christmas is only a commercial holiday, so that stores can gain more capital than they already suck out of consumers the rest of the year." She stopped and turned to face the group. "And besides, I have no family." She flung her cloak dramatically behind her as she continued up the steps.
"Well bah-humbug to you to" Beast boy groaned as Cyborg elbowed him in the stomach. "Does this mean there will be no funny shaped treats of witch to bite heads off of?" Star asked, almost in tears. Robin just stared up at the steps. *********************************************************************** Meanwhile:
Outside a light snow began to fall around the city, creating an almost tranquil feeling as it glows from the bright lights decorated for the holidays. Up on a hill overlooking the tower a dark figure pulled its cloak tightly around itself. As it turned away, dark snake-like eyes could be seen deep beneath the hood with an eerie pink glow.
