Chapter 1: Robin's Presents
"Ok, team," Robin started out, "we've been fighting for one year now. Can you guess what that means?"
"What, friend Robin?" Starfire asked, "In Earth years, I have only been here twelve months."
"Star," Beast Boy asked, "twelve months is one year."
"Oh," she said.
"Anyway," Raven said to get things moving.
"After one year, I always give out presents," Robin explained.
On the table there were four presents. One was a thin, rectangle wrapped in metallic blue with a silver bow labeled "Cyborg". One was a small cube wrapped in orange with red polka dots with a purple bow labeled "Starfire". One was larger cube wrapped in light green with a darker green bow labeled "Beast Boy". The last was a not as thin rectangle wrapped in black with a navy blue bow labeled "Raven". Starfire opened hers first.
"Oh Robin!" Starfire said as she opened her present, "I love it! It's a doll of me!"
"No problem," he responded.
Next, Beast Boy opened his.
"It's Elephanto...AND IT'S GREEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Beast Boy shouted.
The titans stared at him and Robin with puzzled looks.
"These animals are in an exclusive line of stuffed animals, and they have all colors. I have everyone except Elephanto in green, and Elephanto's are the hardest to get." he explained, "Dude! Where did you get it Robin?!"
"The shopkeeper said that you loved these animals and he had one green Elephanto left, so he gave it to me, it was double the price, but it was obviously worth it." Robin said.
Third was Cyborg.
"Rob!" Cyborg shouted, "It's the second racing game, but it hasn't even been released yet! Where did you get it?"
"The storekeeper had them in stock, he just wasn't putting them in the store yet. He knew how much you wanted it, so he gave that to me...for double the price, again. But it was, again, obviously worth it."
Finally, Raven opened hers.
"It's a diary," she said, "a diary named Aria."
"I thought you might want one." Robin said.
"Thanks," she said.
Before they all left to their rooms, they all said thank you again, except Raven. Cyborg lightly, in his opinion, not Robin's, punched Robin in his arm. Beast Boy changed into an elephant and threw Robin up, catching him on his way down. Starfire was the last one there.
"Thank you, Robin," she said in a quiet voice. She walked up to him and gave him a light kiss on his cheek. She left Robin alone in the main room standing there, surprised and yet, relieved.
