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.
