The young magician rolled over groggily and pulled the covers over her shoulders more, making sure not to let any warmth escape. It was chilly in the early morning. She snuggled back into the bed and was drifting back into sleep when an eerily familiar cackle sounded in the distance. Tingles ran down her spine and a smile crept onto her face. 'This is going to be a good day.'

000OOOooo oooOOO000

Zatanna stumbled sleepily into the room, completely unnoticed. It had to be about 7 in the morning; too early to be awake, yet too late to go back to sleep. She stifled a yawn and looked around the room to see Robin standing next to Wally, a grin spreading from ear to ear. "What did the farmer say when he lost his tractor?"

"What?" Wally begged with building anticipation. Zatanna carefully stepped back and let the shadows of the door frame conceal her. She had no idea why she felt the need to hide, but she did. "Tell me."

Robin laughed at Wally's enthusiasm. "Where's my tractor?"

Both boys grinned at the awful punch line. "Awww, come on! That was lame!" Wally complained.

"I'd like to hear a better one from you then." Robin challenged. "Unless you really are as stupid as Arty says you are." He smirked. Something told the girl that he was baiting the red headed speedster.

Wally looked indignantly at his friends comment. "Fine then, I know the best jokes ever. What's yellow and deadly? Shark-infested custard. What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you?" Zatanna watched robin shake his head and mutter something under his breath. "Nach-your cheese! Get it, as in nacho cheese, yeah?"

Zatanna covered her mouth to stop the laugh from escaping. 'That joke was so old and lame that it was funny, especially coming from Wally!' Someone needed to save the unfortunate victims in the room before they all died of bad jokes, and Zatanna was going to be that person. She strolled up to the two boys smirking. "That was a really cheesy joke." Robin was surprised at the sound of her voice, but that faded into a smirk.

"Morning Zee!" M'gann called cheerfully from the kitchen. The smell of bacon and eggs wafted in from the kitchen. Kaldur also called his greeting from the bench stool he was sitting on. Conner grunted in acknowledgement from the couch.

'Typical Conner.' Zatanna thought rolling her eyes. She turned back to Wally. "Hey Wally, wanna hear a dirty joke?" Out of the corner of her eye she saw Robin do his disappearing act, but absently dismissed it.

Wally looked up startled, his eyes widening at the thought of sweet, little Zatanna telling a dirty joke. He grinned at her. "Yeah okay, what'cha got?"

A grin tugged at the corner of the girls lips. "Six white horses fell in the mud." The look on his face was hilariously funny. She cracked up laughing as he stared at her shocked. Robin's laughter also filled the room. Straightening up she wiped the tears of laughter from her eyes. "Okay, okay, how do you catch a unique bird?"

Wally brightened a little. "How?"

"You 'neak up on it!" Zatanna laughed. She noticed Robin sneaking up on Wally, with what appeared to be a bucket of water. 'This looks like fun.' She thought, and then tried to occupy Wally's attention with the next part of the joke. "How do you catch a tame bird?"

"Um, how?"

"The tame way, you 'neak up on it!" She took a step back as the signature cackle filled the air and the bucket's contents were dumped over Wally's head. By Wally's reaction she guessed it was cold water. The little bird and young magician laughed out loud as they high-fived on a job well done.

Wally was shivering. He glared at the bird, his teeth chattering as he spoke. "I'll get you back, mark my words. I'm going to go have a shower, but it's on!" His eyes narrowed. "For you and your girlfriend." Wally smirked as he sprinted out of the room.

Zatanna and Robin both blushed and shuffled uncomfortable. 'His girlfriend? As if.' Surprisingly the thought ran through both of their heads. "Sooo..." She begun, trying to relieve the tension. "What's with all the joking and pranking and..." Her voice dripped low so that only Robin could hear. "Unburnt breakfast." She elbowed him playfully.

The boy chuckled. "Today's Thanksgiving silly, and M'gann's concentrating." He whispered and elbowed her back. Zatanna looked at the stupid grin on his face and smiled. 'This is going to be a very good day!'

000OOOooo oooOOO000

The zeta tube lit up blue as the computer announced an arrival. "Recognized: Speedy, B06."

"That's Red Arrow!" The archer growled. Everyone in the room was shocked at the new arrival, except Wally, who just sat there grinning. "What are you all staring at?" He snapped as he threw himself onto one of the couches.

"Roy! B-but what are you doing here? I thought you weren't going to come!" Robin exclaimed. He still couldn't get over the fact that Roy was there.

The grumpy archer snorted. "I didn't think I'd be here either, but Wally talked me into it."

All eyes turned to Wally. The speedster just shrugged nonchalantly, leaning back into the couch. "I thought everyone, including the archers, should be here for Thanksgiving."

This time it was Zatanna's turn to snort. "I don't think you could get Artemis here. She's too mad about missing the Qurac mission." The magician crossed her arms across her chest. Robin put a hand on her shoulder and smiled, so she smiled back at him.

"Recognized: Artemis, B07."

Zatanna's stared dumbfounded at Wally. She was stunned that he'd managed to pull that off. 'Mental Note: Wally's very good at persuasion.'

He grinned smugly at her. "You were saying?"

"What do you want Baywatch?!" Screeched the female archer. She froze when she entered the room and found the whole team and Roy all sitting there. In a huff she sat down on 'Arty's chair', as it had been dubbed by a certain speedster. "Start explaining!" She snarled.

Wally's grin only doubled in size. "As you all know, it's Thanksgiving today, and I thought what better way to celebrate then bring everyone here for games and stuff." Both archers and Superboy stood up to leave. "Please, please, pretty please!" Wally begged on his hands and knees.

Zatanna didn't think it would work, but the three sighed and sat down. "You better make it worth it, Baywatch." Artemis threatened.

000OOOooo oooOOO000

"This is so lame!" Artemis complained.

Zatanna couldn't disagree more. It was fun and... interesting. She'd already learned so many new things about her team mates. For instance, Kaldur had an imaginary friend when he was growing up, Artemis has a teddy bear, Wally is claustrophobic, and Robin used to be afraid of the dark. She smiled at the irony of the last one. The fearless Boy Wonder, partner of the Dark Knight, was once afraid of the dark. She turned to the male archer. "Roy, what's the one place you would do anything to see?"

"The Watchtower." Almost as if he were a robot he replied without hesitation. No one seemed to notice his speedy reaction, so Zatanna ignored it as well. Wally and Robin knuckled while Kaldur smiled approvingly at Roy's answer. Everyone knew what being accepted into the Watchtower meant to those four boys. Roy looked at the little ninja. "Robin, who makes you smile?" A smirk appeared on the older boys face and Wally grinned when they saw their little bird squirm uncomfortably.

Robin began to blush which made everyone grin, even Superboy. "The person who makes me smile is Zatanna." That caused the young magician to blush. She smiled at him and he smiled back.

'That means he likes me too, doesn't it?' She thought. 'Yes! He does! This is so exciting! But what happens now? Do I talk to him or wait for him to talk to me? Wait, no! What am I doing? Robs my best friend, I really gotta stop thinking of him like that.' She sighed mentally. 'I won't say I'm in love, not yet.'

"Hey, do you guys want to go play some extreme outdoor games?" Wally asked getting impatient of sitting around. The teens all nodded enthusiastically, letting evil smirks grace their faces. "We'll play outside, obviously, and the rules are to be negotiated on when we're out there. May the best teen win."

Zatanna was about to follow when M'gann grabbed her arm and dragged her to the kitchen. "Where are you going, we need to start cooking the turkey for dinner. Come on!" Zatanna opened her mouth to protest but M'gann beat her to it. "Please? I can't cook it alone."

The younger girl sighed in defeat. "Fine." She mumbled. "I'll help."

M'gann jumped in the air and gave a little cheer. "Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is going to be so fun, it'll be just like I read about on Mars with the turkey and vegetables and pies-"

'Noooo I'm doomed!' She thought gloomily.'

000OOOooo oooOOO000

Cool water ran strong from the tap. Eventually it grew warmer and Zatanna placed a large tray of cranberries under it. After a thorough soaking, she pulled them away and drained them. When they were fully dry, she put them into a silver tray. "I just washed the berries, where do you want them."

"I'll deal with them; you get started on seasoning the turkey." The tray was levitated right from Zatanna's hands by M'gann and placed on the bench behind various other foods. At that moment the speedster zipped in and sat on a stool at the bench. He sat right in front of the cranberries.

"Hey Wally, Weren't you playing outside?" Zatanna asked. She was sooooo jealous that he could run around outside and she was stuck cooking. Now would be a really good time to get struck by purple lightning and end up switching places with KF. Unfortunately things like that don't happen and she was stuck with the big, fat turkey.

A grin spread across his face that she could almost slap. If she and Artemis were still friends she would have felt sorry for the archer putting up with him. "I came to scab some early lunch before I go home." He reached into the recently washed cranberries and took a handful.

"Gobble, gobble." Again he grabbed some of cranberries and shoveled them in his mouth. "I love Thanksgiving." He tried to reach back a third time when a wooden spoon came down hard on his knuckles. "Ow!" The speedster complained.

M'gann giggled, girly as ever. "Those are for dinner Wally."

For a moment she ignored Wally and M'gann. "Nosaes eht tsaor yekrut." The seasoning flew from her finger tips and landed on the raw turkey. It was a giant turkey, almost half the size of Zatanna, ridiculously big. "There, seasoned to perfection and ready for the oven." She smiled proudly at it and dusted her hands. 'Not bad, if I do say so myself.'

"Wally, I thought you were eating with your family?"

"Oh yeah, Dad'll kill me if I'm late." He grabbed as my cranberries as he could shoved them into his h before sprinting out of the room. "Cya!" He yelled behind him.

"Wally!" M'gann yelled after him even though she was aware that he was already well and truly out of the room. A snuffle brought her attention back to the kitchen. She looked over at the young magician to see that she had tears in her eyes that threatened to spill.

Zatanna stood up straight and wiped her eyes. "It's nothing, the onions." She tried to cover up by lying, but that didn't work. M'gann came close to her. "These are all the things I used to cook for... It's my first Thanksgiving without my dad." The martian wrapped her arms around Zatanna in sympathy. After some hesitation Zatanna hugged back and even started sobbing. 'Dammit.' She thought. Her plan was to pretend to be sad so that she could be excused from cooking, but now she didn't need to pretend. 'Who am I kidding? I'm not strong enough to control that emotion yet.'

After another minute Zatanna pulled away, wiping her eyes again. Conner stood from the hastily from the couch. The raven haired girl forgot that he was even in the room. M'gann saw the rush he was in and turned in his direction. "Conner?"

"Figure you don't want my help in the kitchen." He replied, gruff as ever. "Remember the last time?"

M'gann frowned good-naturedly. "Uh, yeah. But..."

He quickly cut her off and walked away. "I'm just walking Wolf, no big."

The martian stood there and watched her boyfriend leave. She shook her head and turned back to Zatanna. "Hey Zee, do you want to go outside?"

Zatanna smirked mentally. Her plan had succeeded. "But what about the cooking?!" She asked in mock shock.

"I'll finish doing the vegetables while you go change. You can't go out in the snow wearing that." M'gann levitated all the soaking wet vegetables into an oven tray then levitated the tray into the oven. Zatanna hugged M'gann then sprinted towards her room.

000OOOooo oooOOO000

She trudged through the snow, raven hair whipping behind her, into the clearing where her leader was standing. He smiled warmly at her, despite the freezing cold. She returned the smile. Without warning the clearing exploded with snowballs. They rained down on the two unsuspecting victims. Through the onslaught of snow balls she caught glimpses of 2 people, both resembling the archers. In a feeble attempt to get away Zatanna backed up toward a mound of snow. The closer she got though, the harder they came down on her. She reached it and slid to the cold ground. Her arms moved protectively to shield her head.

Then, it stopped, just as sudden as it had come. Gingerly she pulled her arms away and looked up to see a masked face smiling down at her. The little bird was perched on the top of the snow mound, grinning away. That was when Zatanna noticed the massive snowball hovering above his head. She giggled at how ridiculous it looked. Curiosity drew her attention to where she saw the two people. Both archers stood with their hands up defensively, a snowball hanging over their heads too. M'gann and Kaldur stood beside each other smirking. "Are you going to stop now?"

The two archers stood there totally unimpressed. "This is all Robin's fault" Roy muttered to himself. "Fine, but can you drop the snowballs?" he grumbled loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Whatever you say." M'gann chirped smiling slyly. She lowered her hands and the snowballs came down on the three. M'gann and Kaldur thought it was hilarious. Zatanna looked at the ninja's expression and giggled again.

"Thanks Roy! You idiot! Of course if you ask her to drop them she's going to comply." Artemis grumbled while she dusted the snow from her jacket.

Robin grinned at Zatanna who held her hand extended to him. He took it and she helped him to his feet, shaking the snow off in the process. Together they walked over to the team, oblivious to the fact that they were still holding hands. "What do you suggest we do now?" Kaldur asked.

Zatanna shrugged. "Extreme team tag?" The teens all nodded in agreement.

"M'gann, Kaldur and I can be one team, while you two lovebirds and Roy are the other." Artemis snickered. Robin and Zatanna realized they had been holding hands and quickly pulled them apart. Their red faces greatly contrasted against the white snow. The archers snickered while the martian and Atlantian just chuckled.

"You're on!" Robin grinned looking at Zatanna and Roy. "Try to keep up." He laughed.

000OOOooo oooOOO000

The day had been fun. Zatanna could honestly say it was the best Thanksgiving she ever had. She didn't think it could get any better. She sighed and went to sit down when Robin snatched her hand and whisked her away. "Robin! What-" he turned around, a smile plastered on his face, and shushed her then yanked her arm. She had no choice but to follow him. She was thankful that he didn't grab her sore wrist.

He dragged her up a few flights of stairs that she didn't even know about, never slowing his pace. The girl was beginning to tire when Robin finally slowed down. "Close your eyes." He said. She obeyed letting him guide her. "No peeking, Ok?" She nodded. The stairs stopped and she was hit by a freezing breeze. It sent a chill down her spine. The two teen's fingers entwined as they held hands. "You can open now." The bird whispered.

Zatanna opened her eyes and what she saw took her breath away. They were standing on a ledge at the top of the mountain, overlooking the ocean. The ground as far as you could see was covered in snow. The bay gently lapped at the cold shore. The whole expanse was either white or blue, besides the occasional brown tree trunks. The view made standing in the biting cold worth it. She rubbed the thin jacket she had on to warm herself up. Robin noticed this and took his big warm coat to drape over her shoulders. "Thanks." She said smiling at him.

He looked deep into blue eyes; the sparkled like diamonds. She looked into his shades hoping to catch a glimpse of his eyes; unsuccessfully. "Zatanna, I need to talk to you." The usual grin on his face faded into a serious look.

Zatanna's heart beat quickened. 'He's not going to say it!'

"I'm not sure how you're going to react to what I say, but here goes..." He looked at her and smiled. "You're so beautiful and amazing and... I love you."

Her heart skipped a beat and she let out her pent up breath in relief. A panicked expression made its way onto the boy's face when Zatanna sighed. "I love you too Robin." She quickly blurted out so that he wouldn't get the wrong idea. It felt good to finally get that off her chest.

A big grin spread across his face. "I've had a crush on you since you were first introduced to the team. This whole time I've been falling in love with you, but I've been too scared to say something."

"Me too, I didn't know if you felt the same." He pulled her into a hug. All her fear melted away when she was in his arms; it felt so perfect. In fact, the type of perfect where something always happens to spoil the moment.

"Robin, Zatanna!" Roy appeared behind them. He smirked when he saw Robins arms wrapped around Zatanna. "Uh sorry, hope I wasn't interrupting or anything... But we kind of have a... Situation."

Robin couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow. "What kind of situation?"

Roy grinned. "M'gann set the oven on fire."

000OOOooo oooOOO000

"Where's Conner?" Artemis asked as she took her seat at the table.

The martian looked worried but shrugged it off. "He hasn't come back from walking Wolf. I'm sure he's fine though. He might've even been invited to Wally's." She shrugged again then cheered up. "Ok, going around the table you have to tell us what you're thankful for. I'll start, I'm thankful for-"

Zatanna tuned out. She looked at the people around her and was thankful. She was thankful that Robin called who-knows-who and managed to get a delicious turkey and vegetables for them to eat. She was thankful that she even had food on the table. She was thankful that she had Robin. Heck, she was even thankful for the archers. There was so much she had to be thankful for.

"Hey Zee, what are you thankful for?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the girl. She smiled warmly at them. "I'm thankful of you guys. For the family my friends have become. Thanks!"

Well that took ages to write. 3,602 words long, that's now officially the longest chapter I've ever wrote (my old record being 2,650, something like that. Thanks for reading and please review. :D
