Usual dedications, though we won't have any review replies, since the last time I checked, no one read it! (howl) Oh, and MY RADIO STATION IS PLAYING CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!! WOO-HOO!!!! YAY, B-97.5!!!!
WARNING: Features a Hanson Christmas song, but please read it, even if you don't like them. It's my favorite Hanson Christmas song. (pleading eyes) PLEASE REVIEW, Y'ALL!! (And uh, ACLDSMAB, please tell me, 'cause I'm clueless here.) And now...STORY!!!!!
Chapter 11: The 2-word Note
Everything is different, but nothing has changed.
Later at 7:30 p. m., the Titans all piled into the T-Car in winter clothes, chatty and excited, and headed downtown to the tree farm to get their Christmas tree.
Once the city came into view after the big turn off on the mountain (like in "Car Trouble"), there was a chorus of "ooh!," "aah!," "Whoa, cool!," and "BEAST BOY! YOU'RE BLOCKIN' MY VIEW!!" and slight swerving and then more awe. Robin stole a glance at Starfire next to him in the back, and caught his breath; the lights reflected her beautiful emerald eyes, already lit with excitement; it was almost too much for him. He couldn't help but stare at her!
Now we're going in circles
It's Christmas again.
"What do you say we slow down a bit and enjoy the scenery, y'all?" suggested Cyborg as he slowed the car. Terra got to be in the front, in light of her return. Lina was in the middle front seat belt (for the sake of the story, I put it in there.). Beast Boy turned into a cat and was in Terra's lap, which left Raven at the back window behind Terra, then Daniel, Starfire, and Robin next to the other window, still staring at Star, who was looking out his window at carolers and Salvation Army Santas.
Well, can't you hear the sleigh bells ring?
All our voices unite.
And look up to the heavens,
see the stars shining bright.
"Oh!" exclaimed Merlina, "I love this song!" and turned it up, but not too loud.
"As do I, Merlina!" chimed Star, "Christmas music always fills me with such joy!" She then sighed and sat back, closing her eyes, to Robin's disappointment. He turned his attention to the streetlights, which seemed to cheer him up a bit.
He sighed and stared outside as everyone chatted. Daniel heard Robin sigh, and sensed his disappointment. He raised an eyebrow and put his hand in his pocket (he was wearing red baggy samurai pants, tucked in his boots) and snapped his fingers unnoticed. A small wrapped package appeared by Robin's leg, between it and the window. Robin didn't notice it until Daniel thought 'Look down to your left, Robin' to him. Robin looked questioningly at Daniel and found the box. No one else knew what was going on.
Oh, everybody needs a little lovin' around Christmastime.
Robin lifted the lid to the side where no one would see. He found mistletoe with a note on it. He unfolded the Sticky Note-sized message with only two words written on it: You'll know. Robin slightly blushed.
'Why did you give me this?' he thought back to him, 'We have one at home.'
Not looking at him, Daniel mentally responded, 'Cut the act, Robin. Just because I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm stupid. I'm a wizard, remember? I know what you were thinking. Besides, this one's just for you...and Starfire.'
Somehow you gotta know you're gonna be all right.
'Hang it up where you can conveniently pull her aside,' he suggested, 'And where no one will embarrass you.'
'What are you saying?' Robin thought. Just then, the car stopped and Cyborg said, "We're here, y'all! Pile out!"
Okay, so it's a little short, but it's still pretty good! And the song will be continued into the next chapter, and the one after that. Hee, hee!!! REVIEW, OR I'LL DIE!!! (By the way, my tab thing is screwing me today, so please excuse the messy format.)
