A/N: This is another of my ficlets so don't get mad at me! I just rather like writing them. Standard disclaimers. Don't take anything that doesn't belong to you. The Titans: Alpha, belong to Toffy. Now, onward!

Titans Alpha: New Years Resolution

It didn't take much for the titans to want to party – and the defeat of Rose Wilson (Slade's daughter!) was enough to celebrate. That, and the coming of the new year. That's right, it was New Years Eve in Jump City, and the Titans were at the biggest party in town. Theirs.

It was now ritual that all the teenagers in the always-in-danger city came to the Tower for New Years. It was just an unspoken rule, everyone crashed there that night. The music was blasting, and the five super-teens were dancing on their bench. Lights were flashing around the place, and the enormous T was again home to the roaring party.

Isis laughed as she and her fellow titans leapt from the bench, to be replaced by a bunch of other teenagers. There was little doubt that she was rather tipsy – her giggling and bright smile gave it away – but she knew to stop dancing. In fact, she wanted fresh air.

"Guys!" She called out, tugging on Phoenix's sleeve, "Let's go out onto the roof. This place is too crowded now. And it's nearly midnight! I want it to be just us five this year!"

Zeru nodded, there was something that made him agree. It was nice, when it was just the five of them. He grabbed Isis around the waist, and Li's arm. Phoenix took Taiyou's (he had begun to blush) hand, and they took off, flying over the crowd to the doorway.

Taking the stairs to the rooftop, the group grinned as the cool air chilled them. Isis clung to Zeru, who was trying to contain a grin, and Li held her hand to support her standing.

"This is much better." Taiyou grinned, as he and Phoenix walked over to the edge of the tower, still joined at the hands, yet to notice, before turning back to face the other three. Isis took in a deep breath, the fresh air seeming to clear her mind a little as she straightened herself, releasing Zeru and Li as she walked over to the edge to join Taiyou and Phoenix.

"The city is beautiful, eh?" Isis muttered as her blue-polished hands landed on her hips, and she glanced around. She was glad to receive four affirmative answers. Phoenix looked equally as happy.

"Hey, Twelve minutes till midnight. Have you all got your resolutions?" Zeru suddenly said, glancing at his watch as he pulled out a bit of paper from his pocket. The others followed suit, with a chorus of 'Yeah'.

Walking over to a large barrel, which was alight for no reason in particular, they spoke for a while, until Li's watch began to beep uncontrollably. "Twenty seconds till the new year, guys," Li said with a grin, eyes falling on Isis and Zeru, then on the blushing face of Taiyou and serious set look of Phoenix.

The countdown began, all five of them speaking in sync. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…

There was a sudden rush of air as Phoenix and Taiyou met at the lips, as did Li and Isis. How it had happened, neither pair could tell, but it was over in a moment. Isis turned away, only to meet the eyes of a bewildered Zeru. Phoenix blushed and looked down. All five dropped their papers into the fire.

Half an hour passed, and the five sat on the edge of the tower, feet dangling over. Zeru was far left, his arm crossed with Li's, behind Isis's back. Her arms surrounded either of them, while Phoenix and Taiyou sat a foot away, arms around one another as they watched the display of fireworks for another year.

Isis turned to Zeru, a small but sincere smile on her lips, "What was your resolution, Ze?" She asked, softly.

He smirked slightly, having forgotten the previous kiss for a while. "I'm not going to be as much of a pervert."

"Good luck with that!" The usually cold teen said tartly, before she turned on Li with the same grin, "What about you?"

"That's a personal question Icy. You'll have to find out for yourself." He said, with a playful wink, squeezing her gently around the waist. He noticed the slight blush rise up on her cheeks, and how she tried to avert her gaze so that it couldn't be seen by either of the boys, "But I want the same question answered by you now, Icy."

"To smile more." She replied softly, looking out over the city with one of her rarely natural smiles.

"I like it when she smiles," Zeru whispered playfully loudly, behind her head, "She's easier on the eyes – Oof! What was that for?"

The three erupted with laughter.

Meanwhile, Phoenix and Taiyou were having their own confessional. "What was your new years resolution, Phoe?" Taiyou muttered, looking out over the lights that were starting to go out over the city.

"It's weird, I know, but I just need to let people into my life more. To learn that I don't have to handle everything on my own. To trust more. What about you?" She whispered back, her eyes starting to droop with tiredness.

"We'll leave that for another day."

Phoenix let her head fall on Taiyou's shoulder, closing her eyes. "I trust you." She whispered, huddling closer as snow began to fall from the sky. The pair shuffled over toward the other three titans, and they sat together, huddled up, arms around one another as the lights of Jump City went out altogether.
