Chapter 2: The Week Before
The Titans had just gotten back when Terra suddenly ran up to her room. It was fortunate for J.T. and the others.
"So, what did you guys get for Terra's birthday?" J.T. whispered. Yes, Terra's birthday was in one week. J.T. and the others had been frantically trying to get things for a surprise party, but it was really hard with Terra always hanging around.
"I got her a portable CD player," said Beast Boy.
"I got her a book on old-world civilizations," replied Raven.
"Ooh, that's good. Terra likes that kind of stuff," said J.T. "Rob, Cy, Star, what about you guys?"
"I have obtained a Tamaranian power bracelet," replied Starfire. "However, it does not work. I believe I was 'ripped off', as the people of this planet say."
"You mean one of those bracelets that increases your energy? They work, just not on aliens," said Raven. "Anyhow, what else do we have?"
"I got her some CDs of those stupid boy bands she likes," replied Cyborg.
"And I got her some earrings," replied Robin. "What did you get her, J.T.?"
"I got her this gold necklace with a gold heart pendant. And it's got some diamonds in it, so I think she'll really flip for it," replied J.T.
"Hey hey, Mr. Big Spender! Sounds to me like someone has a little crush on Terra," Cyborg teased.
"Hey shut up! Terra's just my friend. I got it because I thought she might like it," said J.T.
"Might like what?" asked Terra, who was walking down the hall the other Titans had congregated in.
"Might like…a trip to the mall. Whdda ya say, Terra?" asked J.T., trying to cover up the others' conversation.
"Well, sure. I'm up for it. But I was kinda hoping that it'd just be me, Starfire and Raven. You know, a girls only shopping trip?" replied Terra.
"Yes, let us proceed to the mall of shopping," replied Starfire.
"Well, all right. Whatever," added Raven.
Raven, Starfire and Terra headed out for the mall and the guys breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Terra fell for J.T.'s lie.
"Ok, waaaay too close," said Beast Boy.
"Too true, BB, too true," replied J.T.
"Let's get the stuff wrapped before Terra gets suspicious," Robin stated.
"Good plan. We'll meet upstairs with our stuff," said Cyborg.
The guys headed off to their rooms to get the gifts they bought for Terra (they got Starfire and Raven's presents too). After seeing what everyone got, the guys quickly wrapped the stuff (J.T.'s was the best while Beast Boy's was very sloppy. Robin and Cyborg's were right in the middle.). Hours later, the girls came back with lots of stuff, but none of it was the presents any of the other Titans got.
