A/N: Wow, three in one night. Utterly amazing for me, but –shrug- if I'm getting ficlets written, it's good enough for me! Disclaimer – I own Isis, DC Comics and Cartoon Network own the Teen Titans and Toffy owns all the other Titans Alpha.

Alpha Titans: Christmas Chronicles

Christmas had fallen upon the Alpha Titans faster than you could say mistletoe, and sadly, there had not been much time to decorate their enormous T. Though many fans and admirers had sent them decoration – Phoenix had thought this excellent, it meant they didn't have to pay for their décor! – But it was now the eve of the famous holiday, and though many of the titans had groaned about it, they were all thoroughly enjoying decorating their home.

The tower was almost wholly decorated, only the common room and tree were left to 'Chrismastise' as Zeru put it. There was holly, mistletoe and candles all over the house, as well as candies spread around the tower and hidden in the oddest of places. That was a Titans Academy tradition that they had decided to continue with, the Christmas Candy Hunt.

The Alpha Five had entered the common room as one, all consciously dodging around the mistletoe as they filed in, and stood before the enormous tree.

Li whistled, taking a step back as he craned his neck to look at the top, "I vote Zeru and Icy get the top, since they can hover so well." He turned his head over to face the tinsel-clad Zeru, who was standing beside a fuming Isis.

"How many times have I told you not to call me that?" The blue-haired female roared, pointing her finger at him as water fell upon his hair. She clicked her fingers, and the wet locks of dark brown froze. She smirked maliciously, "Call me it again and it'll be worse." She said, before using her abilities to create a sort of ice-path up to the top of the tree.

Phoenix, Taiyou and Zeru were doubled over with laughter at the sight of poor Li, the furious male who was now trying to defrost his hair. He had even asked Taiyou for help, only earning him hysterical laughter from his 'friends'. Sighing exasperatedly, Li grabbed a piece of tinsel, tearing it in three and stuffing a piece in each of the floored Titans' mouths.

He then took up the task of decorating the middle of the tree with bright green tinsel and baubles.

Coughing and spluttering, the three teens spat out the glittery substance, still feeling the plastic-like taste in their mouths. Zeru shot up to help Isis decorate, and Phoenix stopped choking to begin decorating the very lowest part of the tree. Taiyou, who, even after being attacked with tinsel, couldn't contain his laughter, had to sit down as he watched the Teen Titans: Alpha began to decorate their tree.

A painstaking hour later, the titans were spread about the room, Isis on the floor, creating an unmelting ice-statute of Santa Claus. He looked almost passable, except for that fat that he was incredibly thin – the rather round parts kept breaking off! Zeru was hovering nearby, laughing every time the scowling female's Santa fell to pieces. Phoenix and Li were standing, singing Christmas carols at the top of their lungs beside a rather battered looking boom-box, though most of the carols were choppy with laughter, whilst Taiyou stood behind the counter in the kitchen, whipping up something to drink. Or eat, in the case of younger viewers.

Nine o'clock came upon the Titans incredibly quickly, and Isis picked up her Santa Claus as the ninth chime sounded, walking over to a window and throwing the garden-gnome like statue out, listening for the smash as it hit the rocks below. She smirked maliciously as it did so, while Zeru stood a few feet away, laughing at the hilarity of it all.

Phoe had moved to stand in the entrance to the hall, and Li had moved to follow her.

There was a collective gasp among the remaining titans; Taiyou going slightly red as Zeru again fell into hysterics, doubling over with laughter. Isis just rolled her eyes, sighing as she waited for her teammate to notice the predicament that they were in.

"What's your problem?" Phoenix snapped, feeling slightly awkward beneath their collective gazes. She looked up as Li did, and the female of the pair blushed behind her mask, raising her hand to fix it uncomfortably. Li blinked a few times.

"We don't have to abide by it, do we?" He said, smirking, and moving to take a step, though his feet were planted firmly on the ground. Turning to his friends puzzled, he looked at Phoenix, "Well, can you move?" When he received a negative response, Taiyou winced visibly. Isis turned to raise her eyebrow at him, but he had by now gained control of himself.

Smirking, the only free female put a hand on her hip, "Looks like you two have to kiss, the tower says so."

There was a collective snort, though most were of annoyance, (most meaning three of the number) and Li looked at Phoenix, who shrugged. "Might as well get it over with, right?" She said, before pressing her lips lightly up against his. (Isis noted that Taiyou had looked away at this precise moment) The titans clapped, before both the offending kissers bustled off to their respective rooms.

Zeru finally regained his composure, his laughing fit having ended with their kiss, and he bowed out, leaving Isis and Taiyou in the room alone.

"You were so jealous." Isis announced after a moment's silence, walking over to the bench, pushing herself up to sit on it. Taiyou snorted into his eggnog, blinking a few times.

"I so was not." He retorted tartly, taking another sip of the famous drink. Isis rolled her eyes.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, you know," She whispered, smirking slightly, "I have it on good authority that she would have much preferred it was you under that little batch of mistletoe." Yes, even the cold Isis could tease. And it was working rather well as Taiyou had gone a rather pretty shade of magenta. Sniggering at his face, Isis shook her head. She'd had far too many brandy snaps.

Taiyou put the eggnog down, and shook his head. "It's getting late, I think I'll head to bed too." He promptly proclaimed, walking toward the hallway. He stepped through, and smirked back at Isis, "You coming?"

Again, the blue-haired female rolled her eyes, flicking off the lights, before she followed him, pointedly dodging the mistletoe as she walked alongside him. They reached the bedroom corridor with swift ease, and Isis flashed him a small but rare smile. "You'll get your chance." Was all she said, before stepping into her room, the sounds of the code being typed in to lock her door audible through to the other side.

"Goodnight to you too." Taiyou said bitterly, rolling his eyes and laughing, before stepping through his own door, quite glad of the sleep that consumed him as soon as his head hit the pillow.

It was early on Christmas morning – 5:23 AM, according to the digital clock beside Isis' bed. She stretched, before changing routinely into her white pajamas, and walking out to the common room to find it overloaded with presents from the public. 'All for Phoenix, no doubt.' She thought bitterly. The light-heartedness of the night before seemed to have worn off, as she stood in the doorway to the room. She thought she heard the moving of air, so was not startled when Zeru appeared next to her.

"What, no bunnies this morning, Icy?" Zeru teased, grinning as he tugged on the drawstring of his cloud-pattern PJs. Isis rolled her eyes at him, boredly trying to move away, only to find her feet glued to the floor.

'You've got to be joking.' Isis groaned mentally, looking over at Zeru, who actually looked quite pleased at their little predicament. He grinned profusely, and puckered his lips exaggeratedly, watching her shudder in recoiling horror.

"You know I'm kidding," He teased, leaning forward and pecking her on the lips, floating into the kitchen seconds afterward. Isis slapped herself on the forehead, before following him through the entrance, though rather than the kitchen, she headed straight for the couch, lifting a remote and turning the stereo on.

The tower was silent except for a choir's rendition of; 'Deck the Halls' as the other Titans shuffled into the common room, each one looking slightly disheveled and worse-for-wear. Phoenix looking the most tired of them all. She straightened her mask, and slid over to the counter, watching as Zeru pieced together breakfast.

"You work too fast," She yawned, picking up a glass and sipping it, spitting out the eggnog suddenly, Isis raising a hand to freeze it mid-air, listening as it fell to the couch with a soft 'chink'.

The group then proceeded to the common room for present opening.

After a few influential drinks, the day had flown by for the team of superheroes, and they were all sitting on the shoulder, side-by-side. Phoenix and Isis's heads were resting on Li's shoulders, whilst Taiyou and Zeru sat on either side of the girls. They were all silent except for the odd random word, and a giggle from the girls.

Yes, somehow, they had managed to make Isis giggle. There was light-hearted ease amongst the Titans on that night, and Phoenix suddenly piped up, looking over at the window.

"Hey look," She whispered, smiling, "it's snowing."

And so it was. The first snow of winter had begun to fall over Titan's tower, and Isis smiled honestly, before standing up. She pulled Li with her, and was followed ceremoniously by Zeru. Phoenix's head moved to be upon Taiyou's shoulder, and he could have sworn Isis winked at him, before the three titans moved off toward the entrance. Isis stood between the two of them, Zeru trailing a step behind them as they passed through the entrance. And once again, were stuck.

"Crud." Isis muttered, hanging her head in shame. In her slightly giggly state, she had forgotten the mistletoe.

She looked up to not find Zeru's face beside her once more, but Li's. Shrugging her shoulders, she leant up to kiss him swiftly on the lips. Zeru watched, jaw dropping, as she just walked on as if nothing happened, and heard the distant closing of her door. Turning to look up at Li, he glared.

"Did you have to?" Zeru muttered, scowling rather viciously. Li just grinned and took a step into the corridor.

"Yep. And it was probably better than yours, too." Without giving him time to think on this, Li ran off, and the sounds of his door opening and closing were also heard. Zeru frowned as he figured out what his friend had said.

"Hey!" He called after him annoyed, and then too ran to his room.

Taiyou turned to look at Phoenix, who had fallen asleep on his shoulder. He smiled, carefully manouvering her so that she was on the couch, and he covered her with a blanket. "Night, Phoe." He whispered, kissing her affectionately on the forehead, "Merry Christmas."
