Author's Note:
I know Christmas is coming up soon, and I have a story all ready for you. Just gotta type to rest of it out and post it. XP

I got a Thanksgiving one to finish up as well.

I'm way behind. Anyway, enjoy. There is like a couple chapters left in this fic.

Zoe Rose: Yeah, it wasn't very fun. I'm one of those type that hates to loose a reputation of being 'on time' or 'productive'. But with so much happening it was like "Oh no! I've done it! I can't do this! NO! I MUST UPDATE NOW!" So, thanks. :)

hoshi-ko88 I shall check out your stories over the weekend. :) I look forward to starting a weekend of reading once again. I've been slacking in that field as well. My inbox is flooded. XP

And thank you everyone else. :) Oh yeah! They aren't foster kittens anymore, we have taken them into our home! (is happy). And we still get to foster. :D

-Raven A. Star

Oh Mighty Owl Hunter
Raven inspected the damaged wall and shined her flashlight into the crevice within the wall. Beast Boy stood behind her brushing the grit off of himself. Raven turned to him with a sneer of amusement on her face.

"Nice going. You blew a hole in the wall."

"Well," he snapped back, "you should've told me that those glass thingy-ma-bobbers had explodable stuff in them that packed a whollup."

Raven resisted the temptation to slap him on the back of the head.

"I do hope you realize you have horrible grammar. Anyway, gee, I'm sorry. My mistake. I should have known that your mental capacity to figure out that putting foreign substance one and foreign substance two together could create a reaction thus ending with a 'boom'. Oh please forgive me."

Beast Boy smiled and closed his eyes as he turned with his back facing her. "You're forgiven."

Bam.

Beast Boy landed face first onto the floor hard with a fist sized bump on the back of his head. Raven held a thick board that was now broken, split in two pieces down the center. She fumed.

"That was sarcasm you dolt! And I wouldn't forgive you that quickly after nearly blasting my head off!"

Beast Boy twitched. He painfully uttered 'I'm sorry' as he sat up only to have Raven grab him by the collar of his uniform and drag him up the stairs, bouncing all the way.

Robin pushed open a slightly rusted metal door to the attic and peered inside. Thick dust covered every inch of the room as well as old sheets covering boxes and trunks. A single tiny window rested in the top of the triangle peeked area where the roof met the walls.

Stepping inside, he motioned for Starfire to follow. She floated in wearily and looked around timidly.

"Are you certain there are no supernatural manifestations in this chamber?"

"If you are talking about ghosts in this room, then I'm sure there aren't any in here."

Starfire whimpered, not really feeling comforted by his lack of assurance in his voice. Robin walked to the other end of the room leaving Starfire by the door looking around in fright.

Just then, the door slammed behind the alien causing her to shriek in terror and zoom at Robin's head faster than a jet and nearly caused him to toppled over into a chest that was open under a sheet.

"HELP! THE MANIFESTATIONS THAT AREN'T REALLY HERE ARE TRYING TO GET ME!"

Robin tried to free himself. "Starfire! Can't…breath!"

"HELP!!! THE MANIFESTATION IS TRYING TO DEVOUR ME!"

"Starfire! I am…loosing air…can't breath…" Robin's face began to turn blue as she continued to cling to his throat and cut his circulation off.

"ROBIN! PROTECT ME! GET IT AWAY!"

"…"

"Robin?" Starfire looked down to see Robin's face entirely blue. He was grasping at her hands trying to tug them away so he could breath. She quickly released her grip and began to apologize non-stop as he breathed in oxygen and his color slowly…returned to normal.

"Robin! I am so sorry! I did not mean to make your skin turn an unusual shade of blue! But the manifestations-"

"Starfire, there are no. Such. Things. As. Ghosts."

Her eyes widened in a pleading mode. "But Robin-"

"But Starfire," he mimicked like her, "there's nothing to be afraid of up here. If you are so scared, we can go back downstairs."

Starfire grinned happily. "Yes please! Let us leave!" She flew over to the door only to find that when she turned the handle, it wouldn't move. "Robin…the door will not move…"

Robin walked over and tried to open it as well. "Strange…it wasn't locked when we first came up."

Starfire began to panic. "Then…the…" She looked at Robin and whispered. "Ghosts…are trying to get us…they ARE REAL!" Starfire began screaming as Robin tried to calm her down. "THEY ARE NOT DEAD! THEY ARE THE UNDEAD! SOMEONE HELP US! QUICK! USE THE LITTLE COMPACT TO COMMUNICATE TO CYBORG, RAVEN OR BEAST BOY! QUICK! PRONTO!"

Robin reached to his belt only to realize his communicator was gone. He had left it in the T-Car. "Oh no-"

"What is this, 'oh no'?" Starfire asked bug-eyed.

"I forgot my communicator."

Starfire held up a hand. "Do not despair, for I have-" She reached at her own waist to find it gone as well. "-For I have forgotten it in the T-Car."

Robin groaned. "Great."

Starfire fired up a starbolt. "I shall free us!" She shot it at the door only to have it bounce off and smash through the tiny window above. A screech was heard and then the soft 'thud' was heard, as if something fell out of a tree.

Robin ran over and climbed up to the window and peeked out. "You know, for one who wasn't even trying to aim at anything besides the door, you knocked that owl right out of the tree."

-----

Raven and Beast Boy stared at the owl that laid on the ground before them. Its feet twitched and it's beak was open in a crooked way.

Raven snorted. "Oh look, it's twitching."

Beast Boy turned to Raven looking flabbergasted. "How could you say that!? That thing fell right out of the sky!"

"Tree."

Beast Boy threw his hands up in the air. "Tree! Whatever! And it was hit by a green…bolt…" He looked up to the house and glared. "STARFIRE! YOU KNOCKED AN OWL OUT OF THE SKY!"

"Tree."

"WHATEVER!"
