"So where did you find that bundle of joy called Maggie," Speedy asked while Cyborg, Robin, and himself were cleaning up cake. Raven was reading a book and the girls and Beast Boy were playing with Silkie and Maggie.
"We found her in a warehouse. It looked like she had been living there since that dance where Beast Boy got Silkie," Cyborg answered.
"Why don't I want to feed him Zorka berries?"
"Um… Well when Starfire fed him some, he kind of started to grow bigger and eat everything," Robin answered.
"He even ate my leg," Cyborg said.
"So you give Sunfire one," Speedy said unenthusiastically.
"Just sharing the joy with you," Cyborg answered cheerfully.
Terra was dangling a string in front of Maggie's nose. Maggie bit at it like a cat. She would crouch down then jump up at and try to bite it. Terra would raise the string higher and in turn try to make Maggie jump higher. Every once and awhile, the girls and Beast Boy would erupt with shrieks and laughter. Silkie would sometimes try to jump up at the string to. Most of the time, he was nudging around a bouncy ball that Beast Boy had given him with his nose.
"Hey what are the two of you doing over there?" Terra asked.
"You'll see," was the reply Sunfire quickly gave. The pair of girls had their backs to their pets and were busily working on something. "Aha!" Sunfire yelled about ten minutes later.
"What?" Beast Boy asked.
The two girls moved away from their creation. It appeared to be some sort of racetrack complete with a starting gate and finish line.
"We can have races!" Starfire explained excitedly.
"Cool!" Terra and Beast Boy shouted. Quickly the two put the maggots into the starting gates.
"And they're off," Beast Boy said, imitating horse race announcers. "Maggie in the lead. Now Silkie. Now Maggie," he continued his commentary until Silkie won.
"Ha! I told you mine was better than yours!" Starfire said.
"Oh yeah? How about a second race?" Sunfire retorted.
Happily, the group continued on with their races.
About an hour later, the boys were still cleaning up the cake mess. It didn't help that they started a long cake fight. Twice. Raven had sat in the corner and threatened them. All the while, the kept hearing squeals from the group with the pets.
"Don't start that again," Raven warned when a stray piece of cake flew by her.
"Sorry," Speedy apologized, grinning so that only Cyborg and Robin could see him. Or so he thought.
"Uh huh. I'm not as dumb as you think I am."
Cyborg and Robin laughed at him and continued cleaning.
About ten minutes later, Cyborg let out a shout. "Hey Robin! Is this your present?" Cyborg asked, holding up a cake-covered chain.
"Maybe. I can't tell the charms," he answered.
"Not a problem," Cyborg answered, licking the cake off of it.
"Yeah it's mine," Robin hesitantly said.
Cyborg tossed it to him. "There you go."
"Remind me to wash this."
