CHAPTER 10. A SWEET CHRISTMAS

Scene_ The Living room as over decorated with Christmas lights including and oversized tree that has so many ornaments and false snow on it, you can barely see it's green branches.

Time_ Christmas, Morning

STARFIRE: Ooo! Merry Christmas everyone!

IVORY: (Grins) Secret Santa time! (Hands RAVEN a heavy slim box)

RAVEN: You got me… (Lifts the top off) A bracelet?

IVORY: (Nods gingerly) Correct! Isn't it pretty?

RAVEN: Thanks.

STARFIRE: Ivory! (Drops a bulky package in IVORY's lap) Merry Christmas.

IVORY: (Tears off the layers of wrapping tissue and reveals a picture frame with the all the Titans doing funny poses.) Oh, wow. This is beautiful. I think I'm going to cry. (Abruptly hugs Starfire) Thank you! I love it very much!

ROBIN: (Scratches head at awkward moment) And, um, Starfire, Merry Christmas. (Hands STARFIRE a slim present)

STARFIRE: For me? (Slowly opens, revealing several expensive looking jewel-encrusted hair clips)

ROBYN: (Embarrassed) you have nice hair, and I thought these would look good on you.

STARFIRE: Why, thank-you so much, Robyn. (Gives ROBIN a polite peck on the cheek)

CYBORG: (Laughs at a blushing ROBIN) I hope you like this one. (Holds out an unusual shaped package)

ROBYN: (Rips the package open and holds his present up) You got me boxers with snowmen on them? Geez, thanks a lot.

(BEAST BOY and CYBORG start rolling with laughter)

BEAST BOY: Ah, I'm laughing until my sides hurt… Oh yea! Here Cyborg. Merry Christmas. (Hands him a heavy giftbag)

CYBORG: (Fishes out his present) you got me a cookbook? Wow! They even come with a set of knives! Thanks a lot, double B.

BEAST BOY: Hehe, no prob.

RAVEN: Beast Boy. Merry Christmas. (Pushes a huge wrapped box over to BEAST BOY)

BEAST BOY: WOW! It's HUGE! I wonder if it's a pet dog… (Opens the box) Hey! What's this? (Takes out another box)

RAVEN: Keep looking.

BEAST BOY: Is this a joke? (Looks into the box, but takes out another, he repeats 5 times until he pulls out a piece of coal) What the…

(EVERYONE doubles over in laughter)

BEAST BOY: I guess I've been a naughty boy.

RAVEN: (Smiles) There is more.

BEAST BOY: (Takes out the tissue, revealing a PS2 game) Wow! This is so cool! Thank's Raven! It's the new Teenage Mutant Turtle Game! Green Crime fighting heroes just like me! (Bounces over to his PlayStation2 and begins) Oh! I almost forgot breakfast! (Jumps over everyone in order to get to the oven) Look! Gingerbread cookies!

IVORY: (Unaware about BEAST BOY's cooking reputation, takes a gingerbread man and bites the head off)

(ROBIN, STAREFIRE, CYBORG, BEAST BOY, and RAVEN wait for a reaction)

IVORY: Hm? It's not my fault that it's good.

BEAST BOY: Yea! I make the best!

(EVERYONE scrambles for a cookie)

STARFIRE: This is good, nothing like the ingredient you usually use, Tofu.

BEAST BOY: Success! Ahaha!

(EBONY enters the room unexpectedly)

EBONY: Hey! You guys miss me? Oo, gingerbread, my favorite, toss me one won't you?

Everyone except IVORY: (In unison) Ebony?

IVORY: I totally forgot to tell you guys that she'll be coming back.

EBONY: Yaya, okay, let's go Ivory.

IVORY: I packed my stuff already, give me a hand.

ROBIN: You're leaving?

RAVEN: Already?

STARFIRE: If you are, you won't be able to try my Christmas dinner!

IVORY: Sorry guys, I already found an apartment. I have to hurry and unpack my stuff.

BEAST BOY: You're coming back, right?

IVORY: I'm sorry, but can't promise that. I depended on your guy's generosity for too long.

CYBORG: We don't mind. Really! You've helped us a lot around the T Tower.

IVORY: I'll visit you guys once in a while, okay? (Picks up some luggage)

CYBORG: (Gets up from the floor) Here, let me help you.

IVORY: Okay, thanks.

(Outside to IVORY's car, IVORY pops open the trunk so CYBORG can squeeze the luggage in)

CYBORG: I can't believe you're leaving already.

IVORY: I'm sorry.(Stares up to CYBORG)

EBONY: Hurry up Ivory!

IVORY: Bye… (Swings open the car door and climbs in, blowing him a kiss)

CYBORG: (CYBORG stares at the car as it hovers off, pumping up the song, 'Have you ever met somebody, who'd love you like I do? I'm going crazy… crazy for you.')
