Emily sat in the living room of Titans Tower, watching from her spit in front of the window as snow fell outside. Miss Raven and the other Titans had left for a mission, leaving the twelve year old alone with the Titan kids.

The sandy brunette was in between foster homes at the moment, not that this bothered her. She hated the homes, and often wandered why Miss Raven didn't just take her in herself. But Emily never asked, not wanting to have the time she did have with the empath taken away. But she couldn't ignore the ache in her chest whenever the orphan saw the families that resided in the tower interact with one another, how much love flowed around them. Emily wanted that. She wanted to be a part of something like that.

"Emily!"

The girl was taken by surprise when she felt someone tackle her from the side, knocking her into the floor. She heard a giggle and knew immediately who was responsible.

"Arella, what are you-?"

"Come on, Emmy! We don't have time for this! It's snowing!" the smaller girl interrupted, pointing out the window, a huge smile practically splitting her face. The girl really needed to stop hanging out with Star.

"I can see that," the taller girl chuckled, shaking her head at the elf-eared girl's antics. "So?"

"So, that means you need to come out and play with us!"

It was then that Emily noticed Arella was wearing one of her fluffier coats, along with thick snow boots and black gloves, an amethyst scarf hanging limply around her neck.

Emily herself didn't want to go out in the cold, the thought alone making her shiver.

"Come on! Come on!" Arella started to pull on Emily's arm, trying to get her to stand up and follow her. Emily was often puzzled by the seven year old's persistence to spend time with her, she didn't understand it, why she fascinated Arella so.

"But it's so cold out," the emerald eyed brunette tried to argue.

"Emmy, I want to build a snowman with you. Please."

And just like that, Arella was giving the brunette her signature look, her eyes misting with pretend tears, wide and hopeful, her lip stuck out in a pout.

And once she made that face, no one could say no. You'd have to be completely heartless and even then you'd feel somewhat guilty.

So with a sigh, Emily nodded her head and relented. "Alright, Arella, I'll come build a snowman with you."

The smile on the younger girl's face was worth freezing to death for.

It was once again snowing in Jump City, the bay having frozen and the city itself in a cold and peaceful looking slumber. There hadn't been much crime this holiday season, the weather seemingly having calmed any evil inhibitions for the time being. The New Titans themselves were getting sent on more missions, And the teens were happy about this, seeing it as a chance to actually prove themselves and their skills.

Their last mission hadn't gone well.

The only thing Emily could get anybody to tell her was that the bad guy had slipped away. Simon had been quick to blame Arella for the mishap, telling her that she should've been paying attention. The shifter had politely told him to shove it up his ass.

Emily gave the allotted amount of time before she decided to knock on the younger girl's door.

There was no answer.

"Arella, come on, I know you're in there."

The nineteen year old listened as the other girl sighed from the other side of the door and heard her shuffle about, till she finally came and opened the door.

"May I come in?"

The shorter girl simply nodded before slinking back into her room and sitting on her bed, Emily taking a seat next to her. She noticed that the paler teen looked absolutely crestfallen, and that look did not suite the shifter at all.

"You can't always let Simon get you down," the brunette told her.

"He was right though. If I had just-"

Emily shook her head. "You guys will get him next time. You'll have another chance. If you haven't noticed, these people tend to come back, with even lamer schemes."

This did manage to get Arella to smile slightly and Emily smiled back with glee at having been the cause. She wrapped an arm around the younger girl's shoulder and kissed the top of her head.

Arella smiled. People often mistook Emily's friendly ways as naïve beliefs and ignorance. Arella would like to thank Starfire for that, Emily having spent a lot of time with the alien when not with Raven or herself. But Emily herself was very smart, and she had a big heart. She was also very protective of those she cared about, and Arella knew that the brunette would most likely be having a word with Simon later.

"Do you want to build a snowman?"

The telepath looked up at her surrogate sister before a grin spread across her face. She nodded her head, hopping out of Emily's embrace before going over to the closet to get a sweatshirt and her hat.

The nineteen year old shook her head affectionately before going to her room to grab her coat and such.

It was good being home.
