Hi I'm back! Here's the next chapter I think it's kind of sweet honestly but hey my opinion.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, yada, yada, yada…
It's been a week into December and Starfire was trying to get to the mall to buy her friends presents but every time she was ready to go a villain had come out to cause mayhem.
Today was no difference just as she was about to ask Sam to go to the mall the alarm rang, it turned out to be Mumbo robbing the bank…again. The Titans quickly made their way to the bank, "Freeze Mumbo!" Robin shouted.
"Aaaa the Teen Titans wondering when you'd get here. Now we can start show, Abracadabra!" he exclaimed with a wave of his wand, the cars near the bank levitated up and threw themselves at the Titans.
"Titans Go!" Robin shouted, they Titans all dodged.
"Mumbo Jumbo!" Mumbo shouted as he waved his wand around in the air. A net popped out of his wand and trapped Sam, "Damn Mumbo can't you get a new bag of tricks?" Sam asked as she easily cut through the net with her psychic beam.
"Oh yea? How's this Abracadabra!" he shouted and soon card came shooting out of his hat the difference was these cards had blades at the edge of them.
"Titans move!" Robin shouted, they all tried to dodge it but one came in contact with Starfire, "Aaaa!" she hissed in pain as some blood trickled down her arm. The card had just brushed pass her orange skin, enraged, Robin jumped up with his bo-staff in hand and slammed it against Mumbo's side.
Mumbo flew back into a brick wall all the money he had stolen falling out of his hat, "Looks like your act's over Mumbo." Raven said calmly.
"We'll see about that! Mumbo Jumbo!" with that he was gone in a puff of smoke.
"What the hell! Where did he go?" Cyborg asked as he looked around.
Raven and Sam eye's glew as they scanned the area. "Nothing you?" Sam asked the empath.
"No I can't sense him anywhere." she said with a sigh.
Robin scowled, "We better head back to the Tower for now." Cyborg suggested and Beast Boy nodded.
"Here Star let me see your arm." Raven offered as she walked up to her friend.
Starfire moved her hand from her wound blood was dripping out of it, Raven's hand began to glow blue and she waved it over Starfire's arm soon the wound was starting to heal. Starfire smiled, "I thank you Raven."
"No problem Star." with that she walked away and started to fly back to the Tower, "Come on Starfire." Sam said as she lifted up into the air the boys were heading for the T-car (or the R-cycle in Robin's case).
"Wait Sam may we journey to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked.
Sam raised an eyebrow before realization crossed her face, "Oh right Christmas shopping." then panic took its place, "Oh crap! Christmas shopping! We have to go first let's get back to the tower and get some money." Starfire nodded and they flew back to the Tower.
Within minutes they were home, "So do you know what you're going to get everyone?" Sam asked as they stopped by her room first.
Starfire shrugged, "I am not sure to be honest."
Sam smiled, "We'll see when we get there."
After grabbing their stuff and telling Robin where they were going they quickly went to the mall.
As they entered the mall Starfire gasped, the mall had a huge tree in the center of the front entrance. It was tall it almost touched the ceiling of the two story building on top was a bright yellow star on top of it. There were many colorful ornaments decorating the tree, snowflakes, some small stuffed animals, glass balls, etc. There were some glass snowflakes hanging from the ceiling as well, some wreaths were hung up, and much more.
"How wonderful." Starfire said with a smile.
Sam smiled and nodded, "The mall goes all out in Christmas there are a lot of decorations hanging around."
"really?"
"Yea nothing like the Christmas spirit am I right?" with that Sam grabbed Starfire's wrist and dragged her along.
They walked through the mall window shopping, "Let's start with Raven." Sam suggested.
Starfire smiled and walked on, "I do not know what she wants." Starfire admitted.
"Maybe a new book? Herbal tea, candles, I don't know something?" Sam suggested.
Starfire thought about this, "What does she desire most?"
"Beast Boy?" Sam tried making a joke, the girls giggled knowing they weren't to far off.
"Besides him." Starfire said with a giggle, "I'm not sure, I know what Cyborg and BB are getting her but that's it.""And Robin?"
"He doesn't know either."
"Hmmmm perhaps a new cloak?" Starfire pondered.
"I don't think so she has enough."
Starfire then looked around and spotted a bookstore, "Perhaps a book she does love to read."
Sam shrugged, "Sure why not." with that they went in to find their goth friend something she might like.
They went to the horror section of the bookstore, "Errr Starfire maybe you should check the poetry section?" Sam tried knowing Starfire didn't like scary things.
"Ok." Starfire then trotted off to the poetry section.
There she looked at there selection until she found something that interested her, she picked the book and ran her hand over the cover it was a glossy black. "Edgar Ellen Poe." she read.
She opened the table of content and scanned the poetry listings, her eyes fell upon one selection called, 'The Raven'. Smiling she flipped through the pages before coming across it, she read it.
She didn't quite understand the poem, but she smiled anyway and nodded, "I have found my present!" she declared and walked over to Sam.
Sam was reading a summary of a book before Starfire popped up behind her, "Have you found anything?"
"Aaah" Sam shouted the book falling out of her hands.
"Oh I am terribly sorry I did not mean to frighten you." Starfire apologized as she leant down and picked up the book.
Sam smiled weakly, "That's ok, I got to into that book but I think she has that already, I'll find something for her." Sam's face then brightened, "I know what I'm going to get her."
With that Starfire purchased the book and Sam said she had to find hers later, they then continued to walk through the mall.
"Next Beast Boy." Sam told her, they made their way to the video game store.
"Galactic Battles 4 or Mega Monkeys 6?" Sam asked both games in her hands.
"Perhaps you should give him one and I shall give him the other?" Starfire suggested.
"Does he even deserve this stuff?" Sam questioned.
Starfire giggled, "I believe so."
"I need more convincing but whatever I'll get it for him, he tries to pull a prank on me for my present though I swear he'll be out the window." Sam huffed, there has been a pranking war ever since the diary incident. Beats Boy didn't think it was right that he was punished for something so innocent, Sam thought he was wrong. With that they would somehow prank each other, mess with each other, or embarrass one another.
They purchased the games for Beast Boy, "Ok now for Cyborg." Starfire announced.
"I'm getting him some kind of tool and you?"
"Perhaps a new piston ring for his car or a spark plug." Starfire answered her calmly.
"A what or what?" Sam asked.
Starfire smiled sheepishly, "I have helped him with his car before he has told me much about automobiles, I believe he told me he needs one of those items."
Sam smiled, "Ok then doubt they have that here later we'll pick that up, that just leaves Robin."
Starfire bit her lip, "I do not know what to give to him." she sighed, "Really?" Sam asked kind of surprised.
Starfire sighed again, "I just do not know."
Sam thought for a second, "Well what does he like to do, his favorite things, hobbies, and all that."
"Well he enjoys training and sometimes he enjoys the 'hanging out with me or you, he works, and I believe that is all."
"Ok then what's the most precious thing to him?" Sam asked an idea forming in her head.
"Uh his R-cycle? You?" Starfire tired.
Sam shook her head, "No! Well yes but more precious then that!"
"Uh I do not know."
"You Starfire! Why not tell him how you feel for Christmas that would make his day." Sam explained with a sly smile.
Starfire flushed red, "I-I do not b-believe I should d-do that, what if h-he does not do the liking of m-me back." she stammered.
"Your kidding right?"
"I am not."
Sam sighed, "Fine we'll think of something I already bought him his present."
"You have?"
"Yes it wasn't hard trust me, he is my brother."
"Ok I must figure something out for him." Starfire sighed,
"Relax Star you have two weeks that should be good enough."
"Perhaps." she murmured.
"Come on let's get home."
"Oh but I have not yet located a present for you yet!"
"Uh you can do that later, the whole point of getting presents is to surprise your friends, where's the fun if you know what you're getting?"
"You do have a 'good point' as they say."
Sam smiled, "Ok then let's head back."
They then left the mall and was soon flying towards the Tower, it was a silent flight as Starfire was still wondering what to give him.
They soon made their way home, they landed on the roof shopping bags in hand, and went downstairs into the common room.
"Hold it." Sam commanded just as they reached the door for the common room, she sighed and dropped her bags, with that she then carefully pushed the door opened. She then stuck her hand out, a bucket of water was falling but it was caught by her psychic power.
"Awwww man." a voice whined.
"Seriously BB? You have to come up with something better then that." Sam sighed as she picked up her bags and 'accidentally' dropped the floating bucket full of water on BB's head.
"Hey!"
"You deserved that BB." a voice called form behind.
The girls turned to see Robin and Cyborg snickering at the now soaked Beast Boy, "Have fun at the mall?" Robin asked
"Oh yes the mall was decorated as well for this holiday it was most pretty." Starfire gushed, Robin smiled.
"So what'd you two get?" Cyborg asked inching his way over to Sam trying to peek in her bag.
Sam pulled away, "I don't think so tin man you gotta wait like everyone else." she giggled.
Cyborg sighed, "Oh come on just a peek."
"Hmm let me think, no." Sam said quickly.
Robin shook his head, "You have to wait Cy."
Starfire nodded, "But I do believe all of you will like your gifts." she said happily, "Now if only I can purchase a gift for Robin." she thought.
Beast Boy eyed Sam wearily, "I don't trust her to get me a gift."
"Ditto." Sam shot back.
"Can we hold off the prank war then until after Christmas?" Robin offered.
Beast Boy and Sam looked at each other before turning back to their leader they then shook their heads and said, "No."
Robin crossed his arms in front of his chest annoyed, "Seriously?"
Sam shrugged, "It's fun to mess with B.B speaking of which you got your present for Rae right?"
Beast Boy flushed, "How did you-"
"You can't keep a secret B.B you were telling me before and have me swear not to tell anyone and blah, blah, blah. Sam said with a rolll of her eyes.
"You better not tell!"
"Yea, yea." Sam said with a wave of her hand.
"Come on seriously!"
"Well yea!" Sam shot back
"Guys can we not argue." Cyborg cut in.
"Yea seriously…" Robin chimed in.
Starfire watched, amused, as the argument unfolded before her, she giggled and that's when the perfect gift came to her, She smiled and squealed happily with that she rushed off to her room to get started.
Yay! Done! I got this idea when I went to the mall the other day with my mom. So yea Ill try and post the next chapter soon ok? Well until next time please review!
