Author's Note:


Before I start the next chapter, I just wanna say why I haven't updated for so long. Well, my grandma dared me not to post any new stories on FFN until April 1st (and how could I pass up a dare? O_o) I did the dare, and I did it! I made it without posting any new stories!! *dances a victory dance* Also, I would also like to thank my sister with this chapter. She helped me with much of it. :) Thanks a bunch sis! ^_^


Now on with the chapter!!

Robin and Cyborg were playing video games when they felt a slight tremor below them. They paused and looked at each other. "Did you feel that? I did." They said at the same time.

Starfire flew into the game room and looked panicky. "I felt a sudden tremor from below while I was preparing a meal for us. What had happened?"


Robin stood up and went over to the window and looked out. "I don't know. I don't think that whatever caused it is too far away. What do you think Cyborg?"

Cyborg switched the game off and walked over to the window and looked out also. "It felt like it was coming from the basement."

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Cyborg and Robin quickly turned armed and ready to attack.


"What is it Star?" Robin quickly asked.

"Look!" She pointed to something that was floating. The boys looked and saw that it was a bubble. Starfire stared in amusement. She poked the bubble and it popped. She giggled. "Such a wondrous creature! What was that?"


Robin slapped himself on the forehead and Cyborg began laughing. "You shouldn't scare poor Rob like that, Star. He thought someone was trying to hurt you. That thing that you popped was a soap bubble."

Starfire giggled as more soap bubbles floated by. "Look, they want to make friends!"


O_o

Robin watched as the bubbles floated by. "They are bubbles alright, but where are they coming from?" He popped a bubble with his gloved finger.

Just then, a figure that had on a white beard of bubbles walked in. It was Raven, and she wasn't too happy with what happened. Robin and Cyborg could see her scowling beneath the bubbles. Starfire turned and gasped. "SANTA CLAUS!!" She flew over and nearly knocked over Raven. She grabbed Raven by the arm and put her in a chair. Starfire then leaped onto Raven's lap like a child at Santa's Workshop and took out a sheet of paper from out of nowhere. "I have been a very good girl this year Santa! Here is my list of Christmas gifts that I wish to receive. I would like a jar of mustard, a pony of pinkness, a stick of light which many call a 'flashlight', and I would also like…" She continued on with her list. The bubbles on Raven's face began to pop and disappear. Starfire looked up while in the middle of the list. "I would also like a…hey, wait a minute…Raven?"


Raven glared. "Yeah."


Starfire stared and then suddenly leaped up and screeched. "IMPOSTER!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SANTA CLAUS!!???" She pointed an accusing finger at Raven with her hands glowing, prepared to fire a starbolt at her.

Raven's eyes grew to the size of pizzas. "I didn't do anything to Santa. That's because Santa isn't even here, Starfire. He was never here."


Starfire's eyes widened in shock. "But he was just here. I saw him! I was reading off my list of gifts to him when he disappeared and it was you!" She placed a finger on her chin to show that she was thinking. She then smiled. "I know what has happened! He wants to play hide and go seek before I read the rest of my list to him!" Starfire smiled proudly at her victory theory.


Raven stared. (o_O) "Yeah, sure Starfire. You go play 'hide and go seek' with Santa."

Starfire giggled and hugged Raven. "Oh I knew that you would agree that I was correct! I shall return!" And with that, Starfire began her search. Raven watched her leave. She then turned to Robin and Cyborg.

Cyborg chuckled. "I hope you realize that now that you said that, she's gonna look for 'Santa Claus', and if she can't find him she's gonna drive us into the search."

Raven crossed her arms. "I do realize this."

Robin then spoke. "Raven, you came in covered in bubbles, what happened?"


Cyborg snapped his fingers. "I bet that tremor was caused by you, wasn't it?"


Raven nodded. "I was washing my cape, and I had dumped the whole box of soap into the washer by accident. Then, when I realized what I did, it was too late and the thing was over run with bubbles."


Robin and Cyborg smirked and began laughing uncontrollably. Raven glared. "Shut up! It wasn't funny!"


"Oh yes it was!" Robin managed to squeak out while laughing. Raven frowned.


"Whatever, I'm out of here." She wiped off the remaining bubbles and left the living room.
