Beast Boy sighed in content, glad that after a long day of fighting Overload, he and the rest of his team could relax, snuggled up close to his girlfriend of two months, Starfire who reached over in between his legs and slowly grabbed some popcorn from the large blue bowl.
As the two rested in the ops room at seven o'clock at night, he pulled her in closer from where she sat with her head on his right shoulder and kissed her forehead, glad for some time off for the moment.
Watching the love of his life enjoy the very popular children's film for the first time, The Nightmare before Christmas as he smiled and sighed loudly while Starfire moaned, completely relaxed in the peace and quiet.
"What are you watching?" A sudden monotone voice interrupted the couple causing both of them to turn their heads to the right and see Raven as she sat down in the full length portion of their large U shaped couch and looked in confusion at the characters on the screen.
"The Nightmare before christmas." Beast Boy spoke quickly before turning back to the television.
"When's the fight scene?" A loud, deep voice resonated to them from the left making all of them look at Cyborg who waited slowly in anticipation as he joined them a few feet from where Beast Boy sat.
"Dude, it's a children's film. There's no action in this movie!" The changeling replied a bit peeved looking over at his best friend with an annoyed expression as the girl in his arms only snorted with a roll of her eyes.
"This the one with the giant reptile that destroys Japan?" The feminine but cocky voice of Beast's Boy's former crush questioned as all of them saw Terra sitting on the other full length side of their couch.
"Terra, that's Godzilla." Beast Boy growled softly while Cyborg looked at him in confusion.
"Wait, I thought Godzilla were those thousands of snakes on the plane." He spoke while scratching his head.
"That's Snakes On A Plane!" Beast Boy snapped now getting frustrated from relaxing with Starfire.
"When's the explosion?" The calm honestly excited voice of their leader asked as Beast Boy sighed loudly about to explain, getting cut off from the loud, irritated voice of Cyborg's girlfriend, Jinx.
"It's a kids movie, traffic light, get with the program!" She suddenly shouted at the bemused teen while Beast Boy tried to control himself from rubbing his eyes with a gloved hand.
Robin didn't respond before jumping over the couch and joining Raven where she was comfortable, wrapping an arm around her shoulder and cloak while she hesitantly laid her head on his right shoulder, mirroring what Starfire was doing making the alien scoff seeing the sight near her.
Soon Jinx leaned back on Cyborg but just as quickly took her head away with a hiss and glared at her boyfriend.
"Damn it, Cy. You're cold!" She complained making the half machine get her the expression of 'No shit!'.
"I'm ninety five percent machine baby, of course I'm cold!" Cyborg snapped at Jinx making her blush before she, without a word went back to trying to be comfortable.
It was silent as the three couples and Terra watched the film in fascination before a voice suddenly piped up, shattering the blissful peace.
"So when's the ass whuppin?" Cyborg wondered with a yawn finally making Beast Boy get fed up, jumping from the couch he turned around, his hands curled tight into fist as he yelled at them, pointing to each of them expect for Starfire in turn.
"Guys, it's The Nightmare before Christmas. There's no action, no explosions and definitely no ass whuppin! It's a family movie, come on. I get Starfire but how have none of you ever seen this?" He asked giving the six a blank stare.
"I traveled a lot, between staying alive and just trying to find a place to sleep that I wouldn't get bullied constantly, I never had much time for entertainment." Terra replied nonchalantly making all the Titans look at the girl in remorse while she simply shrugged, not even looking at them before Starfire floated up and grabbed her in a tight bear hug, whispered encouraging words in her ears as the Titan tried to breath before she was begging Starfire to let her go.
As this was going on Beast Boy explained the plot to them without giving much away, remembering to pause the movie quickly before Starfire missed some of it, after giving a quick summary, they all quietly watched the movie together.
"Batman and I were to busy fighting crime to worry about television except for the news." Robin said making all save for Raven jump from the sudden voice.
"I was an athletic, didn't have time for movies and certainly not for kids films before my accident." Cyborg sighed adding his two cents making it all quiet save for the television as Jinx hugged him tighter in an attempt to give him comfort.
Twenty minutes more into the movie a new voice suddenly spoke making all of them even Raven jump.
"Who ate all the popcorn?!" Kid Flash whined as each of the team got into an enormous argument over the now empty snack bowl.
Beast Boy groaned loudly as he buried his face into Starfire's left shoulder.
It was going to be a long night.
