A/N- Yes, I do realize I haven't updated in awhile. I've been super busy. For starters I just finished putting up my family's Christmas tree... It's a very very very hard task. We have so many bulbs it's unnatural, and if I remember correctly... There are well over hundred over those things, and I decided to celebrate my victory over the plastic evergreen by updating!

"I don't think we did this right." Robin said carefully and he stepped back a few feet, away from their creation. Wally sighed and didn't bother to look at his friend. Ever since they started their project, he had been dreading those words. Besides, the tree looked perfectly alright to him. It was decorated with lights, garland, bulbs, and a tree topper. They didn't miss a single thing, and he had even rigged it to spin every twenty seconds. It. Looked. Awesome.

"Of course we did it right!" Wally proclaimed loudly. There was no way that there could be a mistake, the tree had taken almost two hours to set up. It would have gone faster, but only half the team had helped, so much for spreading the Christmas spirit.

"Then what's this?" Robin asked and he held up one of the Christmas tree's branches.

"Uh... A spare?" He suggested, and he could almost sense Robin rolling his eyes behind his shades.

"Christmas trees don't come with spare parts, Kid Idiot." Artemis said quietly, from the couch. Her blonde hair was pulled behind her in a messy pony tail and her nose was buried in her World History book. About half way through putting on the lights, Artemis had taken it upon herself to supervise the two boys' progress. Normally, this would bug Wally to no end, but at least she was there. He couldn't say the same for the rest of the team.

He honestly couldn't blame Kaldur for missing the decorating because he was in Atlantis on a mission for King Orion, but Megan and Connor on the other hand were an entirely different story. He wasn't exactly sure where they were, but with all the giggling that he heard earlier, he didn't like the scenarios that his mind supplied.

"They do too!" The red head protested as he came out of his musings.

"Do not!" The blonde yelled back, picking her head up to stare at him.

"They do too!"

"Since when?"

"Since now, because that is obviously a spare part!" He yelled, and he had to fight back a smile. Sometimes arguing with Artemis was the highlight of his day.

"I'm gonna have to agree with Artie on this one, KF." Robin interrupted.

"Dude! You're supposed to be on my side!" He whined and he spun around to stare at the thirteen year old.

"Who said I had to be on your side?" Robin asked.

"Nobody, but it's implied!"

"Well now it's unplied!"

"That's not even a word!"

"Well, you've got implied and plied, so why not unplied?"

"Because that's not how it works!"

"Then, explain it to me!"

"Do I look like an English teacher to you?"

"No, but you do look like a science nerd."

"You little-"

"BOYS!" Artemis cut through, "Can we get back to figuring out what's wrong with the tree? Please?"

"Sure thing." Robin said, and he shot a grin at Artemis. One day he would have his revenge on that little twerp, he vowed silently.

"So, where does this branch go?" Robin asked, and he held the branch up to measure it. It was a smaller one, so maybe towards the top?

"Towards the top, look how small it is." Artemis said, and she set her book out of her lap and walked over to them. With one quick motion, she snatched the branch out of Robin's hands and compared it to the other branches on the tree.

"You took the words right out of my mouth, Artie Fartie." He teased.

"Huh... So, that's why they tasted so bad!" She shot back instantly. With her words, the red head had a sudden desire to stick his tongue out at her.

"Do you think we can put it back in?" He asked.

"I don't know. Maybe we could if we located the hole, and took all the stuff off that area." Artemis said.

Wally spared a glance at the top of the tree. The entire area was weighed down with more lights and ornaments then he could count, and not because he couldn't count high.

"On second thought... It turns out that that's a spare!" Robin said hastily and he snatched the branch back and threw it behind the couch.

"Anybody got a problem with that?" The youngest asked.

"I'm fine with that." Wally said quickly, "What about you Artie?"

"Ditto."

Well... I liked it. Not to bad for a holiday special... It even came with a little Spitfire!

Happy Holidays!
