Chapter 18: Merry Christmas!
Okay, technically, it's New Year, but oh well! Enjoy! )
Cyborg looked at the box and opened it. Inside was a sonic cannon pack that was shiny and perfect! It was sleek and white and blue. Cyborg yelled, "Yah! This is perfect! Booyah!" He jumped around the room and attached it to his own sonic cannon. (Like the Deception episode when Cyborg was Stone.)
"Thanks man! This is great!" Robin grinned, and watched Beast Boy open his gift. He looked at it. "Mega Monkey's 8? Dude, this isn't even out yet! Where did you get it?" Robin said, "I have a few friends in the video game section…" A monotone voice spoke up. "What is this?" asked Raven as she held up a bonded book. It was a black leather book with an "R" printed on it. Raven opened it up, and suddenly, the pages came to life. She stared blankly at it.
Robin looked at her sheepishly and said, "It's called "The Collections of Edgar Allen Poe". It starts out with "The Raven." Thought you might like it…" Suddenly, everyone remembered that Malchoir had come from a book that looked strangely familiar. Raven looked at the book for a long time, but then said, "I'm going this enjoy this book." The others quickly glanced at Aqualad and Sunny, who were opening their gifts. Sunny pulled out a sun like disk. She pressed a button, and it started to slowly turn. It's light turned around, like a disco ball, throwing light everywhere. Sunny gave Robin a friend hug and said, "Thanks! This is cool!" Aqualad looked at his gifts. They were a pair of swim trunks.
"I know I gave you socks last year, but now this? Come on! This is ridiculous!" yelled Aqualad as the others all laughed at his bright blue swim trunks. Robin grinned, and pulled one of the pocket strings. The pants started glowing, and a computer said, "Welcome, Aqualad. How may I help you?" Aqualad's eyes sparkled. "Thanks Robin!" Everyone turned to look at Sparky and Speedy, who both quietly opened their gifts. Speedy pulled out a nerf archery set. "Haha, Robin. Don't make me laugh." he said. Sparky looked at her gift and started to laugh. It was the movie, "Zorro." "Thanks Robin," she said as she patted his shoulder. Terra and Starfire opened their gifts. Terra got "The Idiot's Guide to Keep an Annoying Changeling Busy." She laughed and said, "Awesome! Nice!" Starfire ripped open her gift and saw a box. She opened it, and there was nothing. She looked confused, but then said, "Glorious! I love this box!"
After everyone opened their gifts, all of the girls never got anything from their lover. Suddenly, all the guys got down on one knee. Aqualad went first.
"Sunny, will you accept this ring as a token of my love? As girlfriend and boyfriend?" Sunny's eyes sparkled. "Is this really a sapphire?" She accepted the ring, and they hugged.
"It matches you perfectly dear friend!" exclaimed Starfire. Robin gave her a ring that was a topaz, and she squeezed him to death. Beast Boy gave Terra an aquamarine ring, and Rave accepted an amethyst ring from Cyborg. Finally, everyone looked at Speedy and Sparky.
Speedy went up to Sparky and said, "Here." He took out a necklace that had a silver chain. On it was a mood gem which had "SS" engraved in it. Sparky accepted it and shook hands with him.
Cyborg leaned toward Raven and said, "Man, they are lovers, but are avoiding each other!" The door bell rang, and Sparky rang to open it.
"Yes. Oh, I see. That is very kind of you. Yes? Oh, I see. Well, we'll be there soon." Sparky slammed the door and walked to the Titans with a white envelope.
"Good news is that Cedric, Chantal, Shuhei, and Spa… uh, Sam, have invited us to a New Year's ball downtown. Bad news is that Sunny and I will be gone. Let's go pack, we have three days," said Sparky as she walked toward the rooms. Sunny looked shocked, and the other yelled, "What! WHY!" Speedy ran up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Why Sparky, why?"
"We're spies. We fight crime around the world. Our vacation is over. We have to report back." She turned around and ran to the guest room.
"Man, oh man." said B.B.
At night…
Sparky jumped off the couch and took out her cell phone. She went up to the roof and dialed a number.
"Yah it's me. We'll come in a few days. Uh? Yah, Sparky and Sunny are over for now. Yes, okay…" She heard music drafting in behind her and quickly said, "I got tracked. Later," and slammed close her phone. She turned around and saw Speedy with a boom box which was playing soft romantic music. Sparky sat down on the edge, and Speedy sat next to her. They watched the water lap at the side. Abruptly, Speedy hugged Sparky really tightly.
"I never knew how to love… until you came into my life." Sparky pulled away. "We're friends. You can't date your friend." Speedy was ready this time.
"Then may I have this dance?" Sparky stood up, and they waltzed to the soft singing.
(Song) I've been waiting so long, it's killed me. I never knew if you would return. When I wanted you so bad, you were gone from my life, and I could never see you." Sparky slowly waltzed with Speedy until the end of the song. The stood there, still in the dance position. Speedy whispered in her ear, "Do you have to go." Silent tears rained down from Sparky's eyes.
"Yes, I do. But I will never forget you, Speedy."
The next morning, Sparky and Sunny were gone, back to their normal lives.
