This is when it starts to get interesting. Review with what you think!
"So, this is the famed Greyson mannor." Tara cocked her head to the side, staring up the hill to the giant house beond the tall gates, which had two birds interlocked when it was closed. She smirked when she got close enough to see it was a robin and a raven. Typical.
"Tara!" A choked voice called out behind her. She turned to see Gar being strangled within an inch of his life by a green chimp.
Tara sighed and put her hands on her hips. "William Logan! You know you're not allowed to use an animal on either your father or me." She scolded.
The chimp released Gar's neck and transformed to a blond, green eyed, fair skined toddler with a guilty smile on his cute face. Gar winced and rubbed his extreamly red neck. Tara turned back to the gate and pressed the intercom.
"Hello?" An old voice answered.
"Um, hi. We're Garfield and Tara Logan. We got an invitation from Richard."
"Ah, you're friends of Master Dick. You just needed to say so."
There was a short buzz and the gates opened, the birds separated.
Tara started the walk up the hill when Gar shouted at her.
"Hey! I can't carry all of this!" There were bags piled at his feet and Will was hanging of his back.
"Oh, of course! Will, come here."
After he had ran over to her, Tara grabbed his hand and resumed walking, leaving an open-mouthed Gar behind her. When she had finally reached the mansion, she fixed her short blond hair and reached out to knock, but the door was opened before she could and an elderly man stood infront of her. He was the picture of the perfect butler, his white and grey hair combed back and his clothes without a single wrinkle.
"Good evening Miss Logan and young Mr. Logan." He bowed slightly. Tara may have been the Princess of Markovia, but she still felt slightly flattered.
"Master Dick and Miss Rachel are in the sitting room." He pointed down the long hallway before walking away to help Gar who was struggling up the hill.
Tara picked up Will, took a deep breath, and walked into the room to greet the friends she hadn't seen in eight years.
"Tara!" She was immediatly envaloped in a giant hug.
"Hi, Richy." She hugged him back, but pulled away when she felt Will squirming between them.
"This's my son, William. Will for short." Suddenly shy, Will buried his head in the crook between Tara's shouler and neck.
A woman entered through one of the many other paths to the sitting room. "Raven?" Tara gasped. She looked so diffrent. Her hair was now past her shoulders and a purple so deep, it looked black unless you knew it. Her skin was a healthy peach and she was taller. The things that had stayed the same though were her violet eyes and the red chakra on her forehead.
She cracked a faint smile. "I go by Rachel now, but yeah. Hey Tara."
She stood next to Richard, who Tara noticed for the first time had changed too. His pitch black hair was no longer spiky, but falling onto his forehead. He was increadably taller, towering over her. But most surprising was the face that his face was bare. No mask to cover bright blue eyes.
"Where's Gar?" Richard raised an eyebrow.
"Right here." Gar sounded slightly out of breath as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"Hey BB." Richard punched him lightly in the shoulder.
The butler stopped in the doorway. "Sir, Mr. Stone and his family are here." He said.
"Thanks Alfred." He bowed slightly again and left.
"Rachel! Tara!" Karen screamed, throwing her arms around them.
"Nice to see we're so wanted." Gar muttered.
Victor walked in. "Don't worry. It's always like that with girls." He said grinning. "Nice to see you all again."
He was carrying all the bags easily in his arms and looked almost the same as he had eight years ago. Behind his legs a little boy's head peeked out, grinning.
"Oh, everyone. Meet Jacob. He's a small version of his dad." Karen released Tara and Rachel, giving Tara a view of her.
Her black hair was resting on her shoulders in waves and she wore her signiture yellow and black; black jeans and boots with a long yellow shirt under a black jacket.
"Oh my god Karen!" Tara squealed, putting her hand on Karen's large stomach. "Congrats."
She smiled. "Thanks."
"Anyway, where should I put these?" Victor asked, holding up the bags.
Rachel just waved her hand down one of the hallways, her bracelets clinking. "Put it in any room, just remember which one."
As he walked away, two more people enter the room.
"The life of the party is now here!" Toni announed, throwing her pale hands in the air above her head and cocking her hip to the side.
"And the most handsome man in the world!" Roy stepped next to her and mimiced her position.
"That title is currently taken by me." Gar crossed his arms and smirked.
Giggling, Toni embraced the girls while Speedy fist bumped the guys.
"So, how's life been?" Tara asked while handing Will to Gar.
"Well, it's been a real hoozer. Here to there, there to here, that sort of thing." She said, her britsh accent strong. Her left hand went to the right and she grinned. "Oh, and I got engaged to that ginger over there."
While the girls squealed, the boys laughed and made jokes of Roy the Flirter finally joining them on the married side.
"Friends! You are here!" A voice yelled behind them before they were enveloped in a bone-crushing hug.
"Starfire!" Karen choked out. "You're killing us."
Kori let go and turned to Garth who was standing in the doorway with an embarrassed expression, holding two little girls by their ankles as they floated above his head.
"How long it has been." It wasn't the only thing was long. Kori's bright red hair was now twice as thick, curly and down to her feet.
"Hey guys." As Garth's hands were ocupied, he just nodded his head towards them and smiled.
"Two? Already?" Gar widened his eyes and put a hand over his mouth before laughing.
Rachel turned to Tara with a disgusted expression. "How do you put up with that thing?"
"I honestly do not know."
"Hey!" Gar protested.
"Oh belt up! You know it's true." Toni spoke up, plopping into the couch next to Karen and kicking off her shoes.
Then, in a second three figures appered.
It was Wally with Jenifer on his back and a kid in his arms. "Hello!" He gave them a cocky grin.
Jenifer slid off his back but her legs were unsteady and she nearly fell.
"Never again." She gasped.
Smirking, Wally patted her on the back. "Get used to it."
Laughing, Richard greeted them and led Jenfier to the couch.
Wally put down the firey haired kid. "Go say hi Kyle."
He grinned and zoomed around the room, stopping quickly at each person to say 'hello' before running off again.
A few minutes later Alfred walked in and whispered in Rachel's ear. She smiled and nodded at him before walking out of the room. Somehow, in the noisy, crowded room the doorbell was heard.
Richard went to open the door and found himself face to face with a tall blond man, a pink haired lady, and a baby stroller between them. The man smiled and waved. Kole embraced Richard.
"It's so good to see you all again." She gushed.
Jericho nodded in argeement and they entered the house. Everyone seperated into groups soon, the girls on one side of the room with the kids and the boys on the other.
"Hey Richy." Karen yelled. "Where's Rach?"
He looked around and shrugged. Excusing himself from Victor and Garth, Richard wandered down the hallway with a hunch where Rachel was. Peeking in the doorway he saw her sitting in the hand-made rocking chair with a bundle of a baby in her arms. Knocking lightly on the door, he stepped in.
"Hey." She said softly, smiling.
"Everyone's wondering where you are."
Rachel shrugged and stood. "We have a fussy little one."
Smiling, Richard stood behind her hand put his hands on her shoulders and steered her out of the room and back into the living room. Right away, the girls pounced on her; cooing at Renee.
Getting back into his conversation, it was only a few seconds later when Alfred walked up to him.
"Master Dick," He said quietly, his brown eyes serious. "Gordon had called. Trouble downtown."
