On the third day of Christmas
My boyfriend gave to me...

Mount Justice
December 16, 22:57
Artemis had been wary of going to the Cave today. It had taken her a couple minutes of pondering outside of the zeta entrance before she had decided to simply woman up and face the inevitable weirdness that was to come. After all, with ten days of Christmas left, she'd better get used to the randomness.
She slunk carefully down the hallways, eyes open for any unpleasant surprises around the corner. To her surprise and slight relief, nothing showed itself. She slipped into the kitchen area unhindered, smirking slightly to herself as she opened one of the cupboards.
It was empty.
She frowned slightly. The cupboards in Mount Justice were almost never bare. M'gann usually made sure to keep the mountain's larders fully stocked for the resident speedster. She opened the next cabinet and her frown deepened. It too was inexplicably bare.
She opened cabinet after cabinet, coming up empty each time until finally she pulled back the door of the very last one. Three long pieces of bread lay at the bottom of the wooden space, wrapped in a sheet of paper on which the now familiar untidy script was written.
To my beloved Artemis: Three French baguettes.
She stared at the words. Well, at least it was an object this time.
"Surprise!" cried a voice behind her, and she started in shock, bumping her head on the wooden cupboard roof. "Merry Christmas!"
Artemis pulled her head out of the cupboard, rubbing the sore spot on her head to find M'gann and Conner standing above her, connected by a golden ribbon and notebook paper.
M'gann was smiling widely. Conner was scowling deeply.
To my beloved Artemis: Two lover birds.
A surprised shout and a WHOOSH later, the pear tree stood beside the gift wrapped couple. Robin struggled from his sprawled position amongst the branches.
"I didn't sign up for all 12 days, Wally!" he yelled at the empty doorway.
A yellow blur shot through the room and a flash of something white was slapped on Robin's forehead before the blur disappeared.
To my beloved Artemis, it read. A Robin in a pear tree.
"Son of a troll!" Robin cursed, jumping down from the tree and stalking angrily out of the room.
Artemis couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "That was slightly hypocritical."
"What?" M'gann asked, confused.
"You know, Robin's a troll, and he just—"
"Robin's a troll?!" M'gann squeaked.
"Oh, never mind," Artemis sighed.
—O—
...Three French baguettes
Two lover birds
And a Robin in a pear tree
