Ok this chapter is mostly the cute little things the Titans and the kids are doing, oh and Mas and Menos can speak English but might slip into Spanish, disclaimer I don't own the song God Bless America or the song I See The Light, or the Teen Titans.
It was an exciting day for Melvin, it was the next step in becoming a fully fledged superhero, Beast Boy had explained that it will be the day where she can begin to go to the city alone for a little bit and would start training. Robin also said that she was to only go to the city with her communicator if she were to go alone and she must leave a note and always be home before dinner. When she turns seven she'll be allowed to stay up later and everything, for her it was to be her day of independence, she went to her room and saw a small mountain of clothes. She put on a purple belly shirt that had a silver pyramid with red, pink, and green shooting off it and over to the other side, purple shorts, and black boots,
she walked out and asked, "How about this?"
Beast Boy shook his head quickly and replied, "Not a good idea. The belly shirt is too short." She nodded in agreement and left to get changed, she put on a bright pink short sleeved shirt, hot pink miniskirt, and pink boots.
She walked back into the ops room and asked, "How about this?"
Argent shook her head and replied, "Come on I'll help you find the right clothes."
Rose and Megan walked to them and Rose added, "We'll help to."
They went to her room and Megan explained, "You see you're trying to grow up so fast and dress like the others that you've been picking stuff you aren't ready for, try to find something that makes you feel comfortable wearing around others and won't hinder you in any way." She nodded and thought about what she could wear, she dug through the pile of clothes and found the purple shorts, the shirt that was too short than got a black undershirt and black leggings and purple shoes.
She went to the bathroom to put them on and when she came out Rose asked, "How do you like that outfit?"
Melvin smiled and replied, "It feels great and really comfortable, I like it."
Argent nodded and said, "Good, now have you decided on a superhero name?"
Melvin nodded and replied, "How about Fantasia, Italian for fantasy and my powers do have to do with the imagination."
Rose smiled and said, "Ok, your new superhero name is Fantasia. Now how about we hurry and get to the park for the Fourth of July picnic, Ruari will be there."
Duela, who somehow was able to get in unnoticed, teased, "And your boyfriend Mas will be there to."
Melvin blushed slightly and exclaimed, "Duela he's not my boyfriend!"
Duela saw her blush and giggled, "You talk to him for hours during the day and you always ask when he'll be able to come over, seems like your boyfriend to me at least."
Melvin rolled her eyes slightly and sighed, "Whatever." They got the baskets, blankets, extra food, some books, their communicators and Melvin's new communicator, some of the others with super hearing got their special hearing aids that they could turn down during the show then hurried to the car. When they got to the park they saw Titans East plus Jade had arrived,
Duela whispered to Melvin, "Look your boyfriend."
Melvin blushed and replied, "Just drop it for tonight Duela." Melvin walked to the twins,
she greeted Menos then said, "Um h-hi Mas."
Mas blushed slightly and replied, "H-hi Melvin, te ves muy I m-m-mean you l-l-look p-p-p-pretty."
She smiled and said, "Thanks."
They smiled at each other until Ruari pulled her into a tight hug and exclaimed, "Hi Melvin how are you doing? Wanna play tag? Oh, oh, oh, how about hide and seek? Or, or, or, or, how about leap-frog?"
Melvin chuckled and replied, "First we're going to eat then we can play a game ok. Until then Timmy's over there." Ruari excitedly ran to Timmy,
Melvin turned to Mas and asked, "Who gave him a bunch of chocolate?"
Mas laughed and replied, "Aqualad did, Ruari made a very convincing argument that as his Uncle he should give his nephew a bunch of candy."
Melvin couldn't help but laugh, after they calmed down she asked, "Since Ruari will be playing with Timmy after we eat do you want to fly for a little bit? You know, just the two of us if you don't mind."
Mas shrugged and replied, "Menos can handle himself for a few minutes, besides he loves playing with Ben." They were called over to eat,
as they ate Mas asked, "Will this be your first time seeing fireworks?"
Melvin nodded and replied, "I'm excited for it, I've seen pictures and heard stories but we never actually saw fireworks."
Mas smiled and said, "You'll love them, besides the noise there's nothing bad about them."
After they were done eating they went a little bit away from the others and Melvin asked, "Ready?"
Mas gave a thumbs up and replied, "Ready." She created a giant golden star, the warp star from the Kirby series, except with an invisible force field around it. From that high up they could see most of the city, a vast forest with a large meadow, multiple streams, and the giant ocean surrounding the tower. And it was all covered by a beautiful sunset, some of the clouds were pink and the rest of the sky was just orange.
Melvin sat back and said, "The breeze feels great up here."
Mas sat back and replied, "Yeah, feels wonderful."
Melvin smiled and wondered, "What hasn't been seen in this world? Are people on other planets doing something similar to this? There is still so much we don't know yet."
He nodded and replied, "I like being here though, it's better than being a homeless orphan who steals to survive." She nodded, their story wasn't very happy, the twins grew up on the streets as orphans since they were two, got their powers when they were three, they were forced to steal to survive. Well they tried to steal a couple of apples and a few grapes from Raven but she caught them in the act, they ran down an alley but Raven and Beast Boy caught up to them. They explained their story to the Titans and they were sympathetic, they let them join Titans East so they didn't need to steal anymore.
Mas smiled and continued, "But I'm glad I met Beast Boy and the others, I'm especially glad I met you Melvin."
Melvin smiled back and replied, "Same here, I really am happy to have known you Mas."
As they landed Melvin commented, "I hope everyday can be like this, always." He nodded in agreement,
Robin stood up and asked, "You guys ready for it to begin?"
Mas and Melvin got some watermelons as they replied, "Yes."
They began counting down, "3...2...1!" Everyone got silent, there was a loud explosion and the sky was filled with pink, there was another explosion but this time it was filled with green, then gold, then red, then purple than back to pink than blue, then the sky was filled with two different colors and after a while a bunch of different colors filled the sky! Beast Boy began singing with the teens and adults joining while the kids waved their flags,
While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America,
My home sweet home
God bless America,
My home sweet home
After they were done signing they noticed how intense the fireworks were getting but they weren't worried, it was really pretty and they knew there wasn't anything to worry about, even after three long, sometimes sad years one thing hadn't changed for the Titans young and old, they were a family for better or for worse.
Jade and Speedy began making out until Duela laughed, "Get a room!" Rose immediately put her hand over her friends' mouth but couldn't help but laugh a little bit. Even Speedy and Jade laughed a little bit,
Mas stood up and asked Melvin, "May I have this dance?"
Melvin grinned and replied, "Yes." They went a little way from the group and started to dance. The two looked deep into each others eyes as they danced, Mas twirled her than gently pulled her into his arms, she didn't try to run, she didn't try to pull away, no words were needed as she encouraged him to keep going. She sang,
All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you
Mas smiled at his friend, the first friend he's had that was around his age besides his brother, finally both could see that maybe they weren't so alone in the world, he sang,
All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go
She smiled back at him, he had such a beautiful voice at least to her, she realized now that all she wanted in life was a family and now she had one, they continued the song together,
And at last I see the light
He gave her a clover and she gave him a peck on the cheek as he continued
And it's like the fog has lifted
They held each others hands as they twirled and laughed, all their worries vanished like a fog, once again they were normal kids who just wanted to have a couple of hours to themselves, they continued,
And at last I see the light
They sat in the grass and Mas vanished for a brief second then came back with a crown made of flowers, he put it on her head, she smiled and created an imaginary crown and put it on his head, they blushed and thanked each other before she continued,
And it's like the sky is new
The show began to end, as they went back to the group they finished the song,
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you...
On their way home Raven asked, "Did you have fun with Mas?"
She smiled and replied, "Yeah, can't wait until we play again." Duela for once didn't tease her or anything,
she just asked, "Why couldn't Speedy and Jade wait until they got home to make out?"
Melvin simply replied, "To each their own."
Kid Flash snickered, "Said the woman who kissed the cow."
Robin groaned and asked, "Why'd you have to bring that up?"
Kid Flash laughed, "The look on your face when Glacia said that was priceless, you were all like, 'what? That's a weird thing to say'"
Melvin looked out the window and sighed, "For some reason I don't think I want to know what he's talking about."
Romance amongst kids, how cute, anyways that last part about Glacia was from the episode of the original Batman series called The Duo Defy I think and I'm pretty sure that's what she said, I'm pretty sure it went like, "Batman tell Bruce Wayne 'to each their own' said the woman who kissed the cow." And even though that was a tender moment I laughed when she said that. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to watch Batman on MeTv, yeah I'm sixteen and watching the weirdest show ever, till next time.
