Chapter One
Window Shopping

"Oh look!" a high pitched squeal emitted from a red haired teenager. She gallopped to a toy store window, pressing her gloves against the glass to remove some of the cold winter's frost. She peered inside, looking at a soft-haired doll in the window. Most people would think the green eyed teenager was no different than any other, had she not the reputation of being part of the Teen Titans, a group of teenaged superheroes. Starfire of Tamaran beckoned for her friend, a green pointy eared boy, to come over. She had dragged the changeling of the team all over Jump City, looking for the perfect gift for Robin.

"Starfire, I don't think Robin wants a doll," Beastboy said irritably. Normally, he was humourous, but hours and hours running the town outside in the snow and cold was more than enough to darken his mood.

"I did not wish to purchase the doll for Robin," Starfire said, putting her hands on her hips, "I wished for you to see the toy next to the doll."

Beastboy sighed loudly, pressing his face against the window to see clearly what she wanted him to see. "Dude!" he cried, his tone much happier than moments before.

Starfire giggled as he zoomed past her, running into the store. She followed him, seeing him pick up the small figurine.

"It's me!" he laughed, "Of course, I look much better than this."

The alien smiled, clapping her snowy gloves together, "But we still must shop for Robin..."

"Hey!" a female voice spoke at the two Titans, "Are you guys going to buy that doll?"

Beastboy turned to face the speaker, and his jaw fell open. Before him stood a girl of a magnificent beauty. She wore her strawberry blonde hair in a long braid, loose strands falling over her emerald eyes. She wore a crimson outfit, covered mostly by an evergreen jacket. "Bu... duh..." he stuttered, searching for words.

"Umm, are you okay?" she asked, tilting her head.

"I don't think that we were going to purchase the doll of Beastboy," Starfire shook her head.

"Oh!" the girl's eyes widened, sparkling with radience, "You must be Starfire! And... Beastboy?"

Starfire grinned, "Yes!"

"Wow! I can't believe it's really you guys!" the girl laughed, "This is so cool! Ives would love it if..." she trailed off, a disgusted look on her face.

"Is something wrong?" Starfire asked.

"Just my friend, we haven't been getting along lately..." the girl sighed. "Anywho! My name's Holly."

"Well it was very nice to meet you Holly!" Starfire smiled warmly.

"Aw, are you guys leaving?" Holly pouted.

Starfire nodded, "We are shopping for our friend, and have been away from our home nearly all day."

Beastboy groaned, finally "Do we have to keep shopping, Star?"

"Hey, maybe I can help you find something!" Holly said eagerly.

"Yeah!" Beastboy jumped up, a newfound interest in shopping again. He set the doll back on the shelf, leading the way out of the store.

With a loud sigh of exaustion, a spiky haired boy plopped himself on a wooden bench, snowflakes falling in his black hair. "I give up," he moaned.

"Come on, man," Cyborg collapsed next to his friend, "It's two days before Christmas and you haven't gotten Star a gift yet!"

"It was your idea to do this Secret Santa thing," Robin narrowed his eyes at Cyborg.

"Eh," the half metal Titan shrugged. He looked up at the sky, "Looks like we're due for more snow."

"Strange; we never get this much snow before Christmas..." the Boy Wonder noted. It was true. A few inches was a surplus for late December snow in Jump City, but they already had accumulated more than a foot and a half, and more was coming. "I wonder if--"

"Now don't start," Cyborg warned, "No evil villain is planning to take over Jump City by burying it in snow."

"You know me too well," the masked boy grinned.

Cyborg chuckled, "It's not hard to figure out your habits after a while. But hey - you should know Starfire well enough. Anything you get her will mean the world to her."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Robin raised a curious eyebrow.

Rolling his eyes, Cyborg stood, "Don't tell me your that dense - 'cause Raven knows a million and one ways to hurt you if you break that poor girl's heart."

"Heart..?" Robin repeated. But Cyborg didn't hear his oblivious echo because he had already started walking off.

"Let go of me!" a female voice cried.

Robin and Cyborg immediately spun around to see the source, readying for battle if need be.

A blonde haired girl fought off a gang of guys in the alleyway near them. A fiery bow in her hair was used by one of the males to throw her down in the snow.

The two male Titans leaped to the rescue, but stopped in their tracks when they got closer.

"You made a big mistake, buddy," the female growled threatenly.

"Yah? What's a pretty lil' thang like jou gunna do about it?" the leader said in his grotesque speech. He pushed her down in the snow, straddling her hips,his hands pressing her shoulders into the cold snow.

A bright silver light flashed in her hands and she grabbed onto the male's wrists, clawing her nails into his skin. The leader hardly seemed affected by it until the silver light appeared again, slowly glowing brighter and brighter.

"Hey man! What's goin' on?!" the male screamed. He seemed to try and let go of her, but seemed almost frozen to the spot. He let out a blood curdling scream, catching the attention of a group of shoppers.

The girl smirked, letting go of his wrists. The male jumped up, still screaming in pain as he and his boys ran down the alley. She stood up, brushing herself off, a small shiver running through her body.

Robin and Cyborg stood near the alley, jaws near the ground. Snow continued to fall as the girl looked up at the two Titans.

She raised an eyebrow, light green eyes inquiring. "What?"

"T-That w-was amazing!" Cyborg sputtered.

"What did you do to him?" Robin questioned.

Still brushing herself off, the girl made her way to the two males, smiling gently. "I froze the blood in his wrists," she said simply. The girl stood hardly five feet (maybe less), long platinum blonde hair streaked with vermilion. She dressed in a evergreen jacket, her denim jeans soaked through from being pushed in the snow.

"Froze the blood?" Robin gawked.

"Don't worry, it'll thaw in a few minutes. His hands will just be numb for the next day or so." She glanced back down the alley, "Hope it teaches him not to jump any more girls for a while..." Looking back at the two, her eyes widened, "Hey! You guys are part of the Teen Titans!"

The two males nodded, still in silent awe of the girl's actions.

"That's awesome!" She shivered again, looking at her watch. "Well I'd love to stay and chat, but it's a long walk back to Gotham and I want to get home and out of these wet clothes."

"Back to Gotham?" Cyborg echoed. "That's a long, long walk."

Robin pondered something for a moment, then spoke up, "Why don't you come back to the Tower with us? We can find you a change of clothes then we can give you a ride home, I'm sure."

"To Titans Tower?!" the girl said excitedly. "That'd be so cool!" she giggled. "Oh! My bad... The name's Ivy," she held out a hand.

Cyborg eagerly shook it, "I'm Cyborg."

"And I'm Robin," smiled the Boy Wonder as he shook her hand.

"Come on, let's get back to the Tower," Cyborg said, leading the way to the T-Car.

"This is where my father used to work," Holly grinned, leading Starfire and Beastboy into another small shop. She waved to a young woman at the register. "I think I have the perfect thing for you to buy Robin."

Starfire's mouth hung in a smile, awed at the simplicity and beauty of the shop. A small wood furnace in the corner kept the place warm, and it certainly did a good job. She glanced around the shop, taking in the beauty of the simple toy store. It smelled of cinnamon and candy canes. Small children jumped up and down by their mothers, pointing at handcrafted toys.

Beastboy seemed equally in awe, looking at the small candies in glass jars. He watched as Holly talked quietly to the woman working. "Your father used to work here?" he questioned.

Holly smiled, walking back toward the two Titans. "Yeah, he owned it and started the business a good twenty years ago. He made a lot of the designs of the toys here, and only a few people can make them..." she sighed quietly, "I guess once I'm gone the shop'll die."

"Why doesn't your father work here anymore?" Starfire asked innocently.

Holly's smile diminished, "He died last Christmas..."

"Oh, I apologize..." Starfire hung her head. She understood what it was like to lose a parent - or two.

"Nah, don't worry," Holly shrugged. "I was given his gift of craftsmanship, so I still have part of him in me."

"That is wonderful," the alien flashed her teeth, immediately happy again.

"So what's your idea for Robin?" Beastboy asked, turning to the blonde.

Holly revealed an object in her hand, holding it out to Starfire. "This is one of my favorite pieces in the entire store," she said, dropping into the alien's hand.

Starfire's mouth formed an 'o' as she fingered the silver chain. "It is... very pretty." A small golden ring was the only charm.

"And I'll personalize it for you, if you'd like," Holly offered, "free of charge."

"Oh! Thank you very much!" Starfire smiled. She handed it back to her new friend.

Holly removed the ring from the chain, and closed it in her hand. "What should it say?"

"Probably, 'For my dearest Robin, Love Starfire'," Beastboy said, overemphasizing the word love.

"Yes! That's perfect!" the redhead giggled.

"'Kay," Holly nodded, closing her eyes. A soft golden aura surrounded her hands, expanding slightly, giving off a gentle warmth. After a moment, it faded, and Holly opened her emerald eyes. Smiling, she replaced the ring on the chain and handed her the piece of jewelry.

Starfire read the inside of the ring, her words inscribed in a curvy handwriting. "Oh thank you Holly!" She pulled a few crisp bills from her pocket and handed them to her, who in turn gave them to the cashier.

"Better than the doll," Beastboy teased quietly.

"I suppose we should get back to the tower," Starfire said, glancing at the clock. She placed the necklace in a bag around her shoulder.

"Yeah," Holly sighed, "I gotta get back to Gotham. I'm kinda hungry..."

"I have an idea!" Beastboy exclaimed, "Holly! Why don't you come with us to the Tower? We have plenty of food - and if you like tofu..."

"We also have food not of the vegetarian," Starfire added.

The girl pondered it for a moment then nodded, "Yeah! I'd love to come with you guys! Just let me tell Lila," she grinned, running to the woman at the register. She spoke hurriedly, then rushed back to the two Titans, "Ready when you are!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Starfire laughed.

A/N: Yes, it's really cheesy right now. I promise it will get much better! I'm mad at the title because I couldn't think of anything better, but since one of the new characters is named Holly I thought it'd be okay... This idea came to me today and I thought it'd be fun to write on. This will only be about ten (kinda long) chapters total. If there's any confusion on who the couples are s'psed to be, It's BeastboyxOC, StarxRobin, RobinxOC, CyborgxOC. It'll be confusing for now, but it'll clear up by next chapter I promise. And yes, Raven will be in this story, she just hasn't come up yet. Please, oh please, review! I'll give you a Christmas cookie grins. - Letselina
