Teen Titan's Christmas Stories
Disclaimer: Bah! I don't own the Teen Titans.
Ice Skating
Christmas music softly played in the T-Car as the titan's were heading towards the skating ring. They had done a numerous amount of things since the winter season had rolled around. They built snowman, made snow angels, had snowball fights, took sled rides and their next thing was to go ice skating.
Starfire watched the snow fall with excited eyes and Beast Boy hummed along to the Christmas music. Raven sat with her arms folded over her chest, Cyborg seemed content and Robin intently stared out the front. Cyborg grinned as he pulled up to the ring.
"Well all right we're here."
Starfire clasped her hands together in glee.
"Oh how glorious!"
All five got out of the car and got in line to get a pair of skates. Once everyone had a pair they all took a seat and began to lace them up. Robin turned to look at Starfire.
"So Star have you ever skated before?"
She glanced up from her skates and smiled at him.
"I have not friend Robin."
He smiled and helped her up.
"Well then we can skate together."
She took his hand and he lead her out the ring. Not far behind was Cyborg, Raven, and Beast Boy. Raven wasn't good, but wasn't bad either, she was able to balance and skate across the ice, Beast Boy was another story.
"Dudes! How do you work this?"
Raven pulled to a stop and watched Beast Boy with amusement, along with Cyborg. The poor teen was slipping, sliding and bumping any person within two inches. He finally came to a stop when he hit a wall. Raven couldn't help, but snicker and Cyborg was just plain dying of laughter. Beast Boy stood up and glared at them.
"Well if you guys are so good then help me."
Both halted their laughter as he approached them, Raven and Cyborg stole quick glances at each other before quickly skating off.
"Hey wait!"
Beast Boy skated or at least tried to skate after them, on the other side of the ring Robin and Starfire were skating together. Starfire was being modest when she said she couldn't skate because she was an excellent skater.
"Star you're a great skater."
She beamed at him as she squeezed his hand.
"Why thank you friend Robin."
She let go of his hand and took the lead, she did spins, leaps, figure eights and all different types of skating tricks. She then did a triple spin in the air and landed perfectly on the ice. A crowed of people gathered around her as she delicately skated around the ice. She then did a double and as she did another triple spin and landed the crowd burst into applauses. She came to a stop, her eyes wide she looked at the crowd.
"Oh! Thank you very much!"
Robin crossed his arms over his chest, smiling he leaned against the wall. Then he sat up, because a green blob skated pasted him.
"Beast Boy?"
He turned to see the green titan skidding across the surface, screaming in the process. He also saw Raven and Cyborg laughing. Robin skated over to them, leaving Star with admires to see what was going on.
"Hey what's up with Beast Boy?"
"Oh, nothing he just can't skate."
Robin raised an eyebrow.
"And why isn't anyone helping him?"
Raven surpassed another laugh and looked at Robin.
"It was too funny to help."
Robin chuckled.
"Uh Robin?"
He paused in his laughter to look at Cyborg.
"Yeah? What is it?"
Cyborg rubbed the back of his neck and pointed over to the crowd.
"Is that some guy hitting on Star?"
Despite the cold Robin's face grew hot and his ears spewed steam.
"What?"
Robin turned round to see a boy with shaggy blond hair, fair skin and blue hazel eyes talking to Starfire and she was laughing. Robin was about to go beat the pulp out of the guy when two hands grabbed him.
"Now Robin, you have to remain calm, go it?"
Robin gritted his teeth together and his hands balled into a fist.
"Oh I'm calm all right."
"Robin, chill out. If you go over there and be a jerk it won't look good for you or Starfire."
Robin took a deep breath and turned to his friends.
"You're right, I'll just go over there and be nice."
Raven and Cyborg let him go and Robin was over there in a heartbeat. Starfire's smile widened when robin skated over.
"Oh hello Robin, what a pleasure of you to come over here."
He smiled at her and the boy next to her just glared at Robin.
"So Star who's you're friend?"
Robin bit his bottom lip as he surpassed the anger.
How dare this guy call her Star, only I can call her Star.
"Oh! Josh this is friend Robin, Robin this friend Josh."
"Pleasure."
Both boys shook hands, but it was far from friendly. Starfire looked between the two boys, obviously uncomfortable with the heat between them.
"So friends how about we…."
"So Robin is Star you're girlfriend?"
Starfire went silent as the boys narrowed their eyes at each other.
"No, we're just friends."
Josh smiled and snaked his arm around her waist, which was very awkward for the poor girl.
"Then you wouldn't mind me taking her out on a date."
"No way."
The words were out before Robin could even think them.
"What was that Boy Blunder?"
Robin hated this guy with a passion, no way was he taking his girl on a date.
"I said no and besides it doesn't seem like she wants to go out with you anyways."
Star smiled and wiggled out of the boys grasp.
"Isn't skating glorious friends, I love to skat……"
She was cut off again when Josh spoke up.
"That's how we'll settle this, we'll make a bet."
Robin raised an eyebrow and a crowd began to gather.
"What kind of bet?"
Raven and Cyborg had skated over and they managed to bring Beast Boy with them.
"We'll have a skating race, who ever can do three laps around the ring and be back at this spot first wins. If I win, I get to take this lovely girl out on a date."
Robin growled on the inside at the thought of him alone with Star.
"And what if I win?"
"Then I'll leave you and her alone."
Josh stuck out his hand and everybody was watching. Robin smiled and shook his hand.
"Deal."
Everyone whispered and got off the ice. Starfire looked from boy to boy, she really didn't want to go out with Josh, so she silently prayed from Robin to grab victory. Cyborg took a place out on the ice as the racers took their marks.
"Ya'll ready? Get set. GO!"
At the sound of Cyborg's voice both boys took of in a heated battle. The crowd cheered loudly as both boys were neck and neck on the first lap.
"Dudes what's this about?"
Raven looked at the puzzled titan.
"Well this Josh guy was hitting on Starfire and Robin was jealous, obviously, and Josh made a bet and if he wins he has to take Star out on a date."
Beast Boy raised an eyebrow and glanced at the two boys. He then let out a small gasp.
"Dudes! That's Josh!"
Raven rolled her eyes.
"I just told you that."
Beast Boy shook his head.
"No Josh Runner, he's a professional hockey player, one of the fastest."
Raven and Starfire's eyes widened.
"What?!" Both girls said in unison.
Cyborg came over just in time to here their distressed cry.
"Hey what's wrong?"
Raven quickly turned.
"Nothing other than robin is racing a professional hockey player, the fastest hockey player."
Cyborg's eyes widened as he glanced back at the ring, Josh was taking the lead.
"Man oh man."
Starfire sighed as she laid her head in hands and gently placed her elbows on the rail.
"Friends, I do not want to go out with Josh."
All three titan's looked at her sadly. The boys had just entered their final lap and Robin was way behind Josh.
"I've got it!"
Cyborg pulled Raven and Beast Boy down in a little huddle while Starfire continued to watch the race. Raven smiled, but Beast Boy on the other hand looked worried.
"I don't know about this."
Cyborg merely smiled.
"Come on do it for Starfire and Robin's relationship."
Beast Boy nodded and was slowly about to step out on the ice when Raven's lips curled into an evil smile. She stepped behind the green titan and gave him a hard push just when Josh pulled around. With Beast Boy's lack of ice skating skills the poor guy crashed into Josh and Robin skated ahead to victory. Robin smiled as he saluted to Josh. He pulled up to where Starfire was and the crowd cheered.
"You know what Josh, I lied."
Josh sat up angrily, pushing Beast Boy off of him.
"What?"
"She is my girlfriend."
Robin then grabbed Starfire and kissed her full on the lips, the crowd cheered louder and Josh stomped off in fury. Raven, Cyborg and Beast boy skated over to them. The couple broke apart and Starfire looked at him with wide eyes.
"What a most glorious day it has been friends."
Her cheeks were red, along with Robin's as he realized at what he just did.
"Um sorry that I took a bet on you Star."
"It is okay friend Robin, I enjoyed the outcome very much so."
He smiled and pulled her into a dip.
"Well it doesn't have to end there."
He then pulled her into another kiss. Raven, Cyborg and Beast Boy skated away or at least Beast Boy tried to skate away.
"I can never get this skating thing right!"
Raven rolled her eyes and took his hand.
"Here let me help you."
Beast Boy's face turned a light shade of pink and Cyborg just chuckled.
"Yep, what a brilliant idea it was to come to the skating ring indeed."
Cyborg then joined the many other skaters, young and old, just enjoying their time together.
Hehehe….I always like making Robin jealous. Hope you enjoyed this one shot! Next one will be coming your way soon!
Peace Out!
