Sweet Sixteen.

6:30 AM

Raven was the first Titan to awake, but that was nothing new. The girl liked to eat her breakfast in their large kitchen without having to listen to the constant hustle and bustle of her friends. She sighed to herself. How was it possible that four teenagers always managed to make such big deal out of a task so simple?

As always the girl would fetch their post. Not that they really got much. No bills of course. The city very kindly paid for all that stuff. Occasionally junk mail, Cyborg's monthly car magazines , Starfire's beauty mags, Beast Boy's comic's, letters for Robin, most likely from his friends in Gotham City. Never anything for her. Even today? Raven paused. Something was bothering her. A strange sort of feeling had just sparked inside of her. What was it? The girl closed her eyes, and began to concentrate hard. She knew she had to be careful of her emotions. She had to monitor each one, and make sure that none of them grew out of control. The consequences could be severe.

Hope. Hope was what she had felt. Hope for what? Raven could feel her blood boiling. She tried to calm herself. So what if today was her birthday, she told herself. So what if she was going to be sixteen today. It wouldn't make a difference to her if anyone remembered, or indeed as she had never told her friends, if anyone knew.

But still, a timid voice whispered from within her. Wouldn't it be fun to celebrate this day with your friends? You've never had a proper birthday party before because you've never had any friends. I bet they would throw a great party for you, Raven. After all sixteen is a milestone….

"No," Raven though stubbornly. "I can not afforded to stop meditating even for one day. Sixteen is just a number, it's pointless to make a big deal out of it,"

As these words echoed throughout her mind her emotions wilted away, leaving the girl to feel nothing.

Raven ventured out of the tower towards the Titan's T shaped letter box at the edge of the little island. She swiftly used her telekinesis to unhook the latch and remove the small pile of envelopes. She didn't bother to look through them, knowing that there would be nothing for her. Dumping the bundle on the kitchen counter, Raven pulled herself a bowl of cornflakes and a cup of herbal tea, and then retreated to her room, to spend the rest of the morning in deep mediation.

7:00AM

Robin was the next Titan to get up. He also had a set schedule which he liked to follow. Before breakfast, the boy wonder would train for an hour, working on new battle moves and attack plans that could be used against Slade. Then at precisely 8:00 AM he would have a well balanced meal and take his vitamins.

8:00AM

Upon entering the Titan's Den, Robin found Starfire already in the kitchen area. She smiled brightly when she saw him.

"Good morning to you friend, I am making my special homemade Flimpa for your breakfasting pleasure," The alien girl beamed, clutching a spoon covered in a thick grey liquid. Robin felt his stomach turn.

"Uh Star. What exactly is in 'Flimpa'?"

Starfire poured the lumpy batter into a large pot, then left it to boil on their stove. "I couldn't find the correct ingredients of course," she floated over to Robin's side. "But I think that it will taste the same. Here try," she handed him the spoon coated in run offs. The boy looked grimly at the offering. He didn't want to hurt Star's feelings, after all the trouble she had gone through. Nervously Robin accepted the spoon. 'How bad could it be?' he told himself.

9: 46 AM

"Are you sure that neither one of you wish to try my Flimpa?" Starfire inquired holding out the bowl to the other two Titans.

"Dude, get that think away from me!" Beast Boy pushed Starfire far from him, but she was relentless.

"You do not wish to have the smallest of samples?" A spoon full was launched at Beast Boy's mouth. The green boy leapt behind the couch.

"Star, Robin's still in the bathroom. I don't think it's digestible," Cyborg folded his arms. "There's only one place that concoction belongs," He held the bin up. Starfire flashed him a look of disappointment. Slowly she let the bowl fall from her grip into the trash.

"Oh, but now what shall we eat?"

Cyborg grinned. "What else, left over pizza!"

"Yeah!" Beast Boy sprang up right. "Or I could make Tofu Waffles,"

Cyborg narrowed his eyes. "I don't think so. Here check out the mail. Maybe your silly comics have arrived," He flung the Titans post at Beast Boy, which struck him in the head, causing the envelopes to fly everywhere.

Beast Boy folded his arms. "Great going Cy!"

"What do you want? It's not my fault you can't catch!"

"What did you say!"

"I said…."

"Raven has mail," Starfire interrupted the boys quarrel. The both blinked at one another in disbelief.

"But Raven never gets mail. Let me see," Beast Boy snatched the envelope from the aliens hands. He examined it with extreme caution. Light purple in colour. Pink hearts drawn in the left bottom hand corner. Raven's name written in a very fine, curly handwriting. Somehow Beast Boy got the impression that who ever the sender was they knew nothing about Raven.

"Maybe one of us should give this to Raven?" Starfire suggested.

"What disturb her mediation? Are you crazy?" Cyborg said.

"I'll do it..!" Beast Boy cried. Before anyone could stop him he had already rushed out of the room, and was charging down the corridor, almost knocking Robin down, who upon getting back up to his feet, gave a sour facial expression and rapidly hurried back to the bathroom.
