Thanksgiving Thanks
A/N: So I decided to write another chapter for my Thanksgiving story. This one is from Beast Boy's point of view. Enjoy it.
Disclaimer: I don't own the TT or anything related to them. This also applies to chapter one.
Robin gave us this assignment. He wants us to write down what we're thankful for this Thanksgiving. Normally I would just jot off a few lines about how I'm thankful for my Gamestation but after my experience today, I've decided I have a lot to be thankful for.
Right now I am most thankful that I am not a turkey. More specifically I'm thankful that I am not a turkey that happens to be gracing someone's table. That actually almost happened to me today. If Cyborg hadn't noticed the crazy lunatic that was chasing me with his shotgun, raving about dinner then I would be a goner. All I was trying to do was demonstrate how wrong it is to slaughter an innocent bird, and I happened to be in turkey form. There I was strutting down the street, trying to make my case, when all of the sudden, there he was. Shotgun and all. Next thing I know I'm running for my life, and he's closing in. Good thing Cyborg managed to stop him and give me time to get away. It was very traumatizing. Although Raven seemed to find my predicament quite humorous; in fact I think she may have been smiling when I recanted my tale.
I am thankful for time. Time has allowed my wounds to heal. Time has allowed the sting of Terra's betrayal to fade into a memory. Time has given me the ability to forgive, if not forget.
I am thankful for the Doom Patrol. They helped raise me, care for me. Even at their toughest moments they were my family. They took care of me, even when I screwed up. They, unintentionally, helped shape me into the person I am today. They made me strong enough to face my fears, to stand up for what's right and good in the world.
I am thankful for my friends. They are the people who have seen me at my lowest moments and still stuck by me, no matter what. They have seen me fall and still helped me back up again. They are the most important people in my world and without them I don't know what I would do.
I am grateful that this year Cyborg is not in charge of dinner. Thank the lord for Aqualad and Speedy. Last year everything Cyborg made had meat in it. There was meat in the potatoes, meat in the stuffing, meat in the macaroni and cheese. I think there may have even been meat in the biscuit's. It was disgusting. The only thing I was able to eat was the pie we bought from the bakery.
Like the rest of the household I'm grateful Star is not in charge of desert. I still have the scars on my wrist from when her killer pudding tried to take me out. Pudding will never look the same.
Hmm, it appears that Robin is stuck to the ceiling fan. He must've said something to Raven, as she is the only person who would do such a thing. Man, that spandex must be really uncomfortable at this moment. Oh it looks like Raven's discovered the pie. Well it looks like the rest of team has the Robin situation under control so I think I'll join her. I always did enjoy a good pie.
A/N: This story was only meant to be a oneshot. But I just couldn't resist adding more. Beast Boy's chapter didn't come out like I wanted but I still enjoyed writing it.
