A/N OH MY GOATS-EATING-KITTENS! WOOOHHHOOOOOOOO! I have DOUBLE the reviews I was hoping for AND a SNOW DAY! So, do you know what that means? A TRIPLE UPDATE!

Destenys Angel Pyra, Aya-of-the-night , anerdatheart , Abby Panther , and Hannah, for all your lurvley revies. I love you guys!

And now, for the continuation of our story (filled with characters that aren't owned by me!)….

What the-

Robin could say he was surprised, astounded, or, in other words, was so surprised that he lapsed into a coma and died.

The end.

Good thing he didn't say that then, huh.

Inside the bright blue box with a neat red bow stuck on top was a jar, filled with what looked to be pancake mix. Woah.

Robin picked up the jar and poked the sides, wordless. For once there were no angry taunts, no witty remarks, not even the tap of Robin's pencil on the desk as he worked on cases for hours on end. Just complete hush.

The rest of the Teen Titans stood outside the door, holding a birthday cake. It had taken several minutes to light, though, since no one really knew how old Robin was. So, when Beast Boy said 17, and Star had said 10, they had multiplied them together. If they weren't right, they would just say that he needed many extra candles to grow on, since he was kind of short. But the sudden stillness within the room on the other side of the steel wall did concern some of our favorite heroes, and gave them momentary pause.

"Dude, do you think Robin is dead in there?"

"He's probably just sleeping."

"Man, I don't think so, he SNORES!"

"Raven? Do you think Robin partakes in the snoring?"

" *sigh*. No Star, I think he feel asleep while working. We did work really hard today."

"Oh. Then we should haul him into the land of the awake, for he hasn't opened any of the todays."

"I think we should let him sleep. And Star, just because they're called 'Presents' doesn't mean you can call them 'Todays'. Goodnight." And with that, Raven floated down the hall towards her room. Eventually, the rest of the group disbanded, leaving Robin to ponder his newfound present alone.

Robin sat at his desk, staring at the seemingly harmless container. He had sniffed it, poked it, prodded it, shaken it, and scanned it for any poisonous substances. He had found nothing. It looked like just a jar of sugar and flour and baking powder.

What is this, some kind of puzzle? A code? AHA! Robin lunged almost hungrily at his UVB light. He eagerly shined the light at the only blank side of the jar. On it, words slowly revealed themselves:

IT'S JUST PANCAKE MIX. RELAX, ROBIN. OH, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

-S

Robin almost screamed in frustration. This was not fair, by any means of the word. Slade was just torturing him.

Or, it's a birthday present that isn't going to kill you. Did you ever think of that?

A cruel part of Robin's mind laughed.

It's a present, Robin. You've already done all the tests. Maybe Slade isn't all bad. Just make the stupid pancakes, what's it going to do to you? Make you happy? OH NO!

Stupid brain. Being logical. But it was decided. Robin was going to make the pancakes.

Put chocolate chips in them! You love chocolate chips!

"Oh, shut up." Robin muttered.

"Good morning friend Robin!" Starfire cheered loudly from across the kitchen. "Did you enjoy your desk nap?"

Robin looked at Star for a moment, a look of question evident on his face. He decided that he wouldn't ask as he watched her pour galloons upon galloons of mustard on her eggs. Eww.

Instead, he looked up at Cyborg.

"Hey, Cy? Do you think you could make some pancakes? I picked up this mix a couple days ago and-"

There was no movement among the Titans for the next 5 minutes.

"Sure Robin," Cyborg started, "I'll heat the griddle."

~10 Minutes Later~

Robin sank his teeth into the pancakes, reveling in the feeling of the warm pastry.

What? No chocolate chips? You MONSTER!

So, what do you think? Oh, I need a BETA soon, so I would love it if someone could help me. I've never had a Beta reader before *dreamy sigh*

I WAS going to finish this story, but I changed my mind. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lurvles,

Anya
