Fluffy Christmas!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Yeah, I know its not really X-mas yet. I'm no idiot. But if the stores are selling the stuff, I might as well put out my fluffy Christmas story! Plus, I need to do something with my life as I wait the arrival of the season finale! Which happens to be mostly about Cyborg (grr... Don't like the half-robot!!)...

BUT... I know what the first episode of the 2nd series is entitled "How Long Is Forever". Sounds romantic, ne? I think there's gonna be lots of Robin/Starfire with a hint of Raven/Beast Boy. Maybe? If you have any thoughts on this, please say so in a review!

AnyWays.... On with the story

(oh, and congrats to Phaung and Neo!!!)

"Tell me again why we decorated the Tower."

"It's Christmas, Star. We decorate a tree and exchange gifts and stuff."

"But what is the small leaf-like plant for?"

"You mean mistletoe?"

"Missles are shot out of its toe?"

"No. You see, when a boy and girl stand under the mistletoe, they have to kiss. Why'd you ask?"

"Robin, I asked about the missle-toe because we're standing under it."

"Oh."

"Robin?"

"Yeah?"

"How do you kiss?"

------------

"Azareth Metrion Zinthos. Azareth Metrion Zinthos. Azareth Metrion Zintho-"

"Hey, Raven. What's up?"

"I was meditating."

"Why? It's Christmas Eve!"

"I don't celebrate holidays."

"So? Did you get presents?"

"No. I did not. I was busy fighting against the forces of evil."

"Well, I got you something."

"That's nice. Azareth Metrion Zinthos."

"Raven!"

"What?"

"Don't you want your present?"

"Will it make you go away?"

"Yeah."

"Fine."

"Here you go."

"..."

"You don't like it, do you?!"

"It's very pretty. I like it."

"It's jade and amethyst."

"I know. Hey Beast Boy?"

"Yeah?"

"Merry Christmas."

Okay, do you know how hard it is to make Raven seem interested and uninterested at the same time? Oh, and I bet you're wondering why I just made it talk.

The only reason I only wrote out the talking was that I think the dialouge speaks for itself-- Like when Raven said "I know. Hey Beast Boy?" I think you could tell he was about to leave. Or when Robin and Star discussed mistletoe... You could tell the mistletoe-we're under it thing was coming up.

Ah yes, the "mistletoe-missle toe" confusion. When I was little, I made the same mistake that Star did. Except, I was quieter than Starfire, so I didn't ask. Instead I read Norse and Greek mythology. Odd little child, aren't I?
