Chapter 8:
Robin and Starfire had put all the bags in the carriage, and were now on the Merry-Go-Round. Robin continued to watch as Starfire happily rode the fake pony that was next to Robin's fake, very large rabbit.
"This is a wonderous ride! Why did we never do anything like this while on Earth?" Starfire asked Robin with a smile gracing her lips.
"I don't think we ever really had the time to do anything like this. I mean, we were always so busy with fighting crime." Robin replied.
"I think this is a wonderful way to vacation from our usual day." Starfire said with a smile as she looked at Robin, the memory when she kissed his cheek running through her head, and making her cheeks burn up again. She quickly covered them and Robin chuckled. "Tell me Robin, what's so funny?"
"You look cute when you blush like that." Robin pointed out, only making Starfire's cheeks get darker. Then Robin looked up at the sky. "It's funny that it's such nice weather here. But at home, it's probably snowing outside right now. Christmas is coming soon."
"Christmas? What is this 'Christmas' you speak of Robin?" Starfire asked.
"It's a holiday on Earth when friends and family give presents. It's that holiday to give, and you usually recieve too. People go out and buy presents for each other before the holiday. Then on Christmas morning, people will have a Christmas tree set up, and there are presents under them for everyone. There's a story for little kids that goes along with the holiday too about a man named Santa Clause, who goes around the world in one night and gives all the kids in the world presents, unless their bad, then they get coal." Robin explained.
"Sounds like a magnificent holiday." Starfire commented.
"It is. There are tons of songs that are played everywhere when the Christmas season comes. I think you'll love Christmasif we get back in time for it." Robin told her. "It will be your first Christmas on Earth, won't it?"
"Yes. I believe so." Starfire replied.
"Well I'm glad you could share it with me then." Robin said with a smirk, then relaized what he had said.
Starfire giggled before the ride stopped and then got off. Then they both saw a dance floor and Robin recognized the music that was playing was Christmas music.
"Would you like to dance?" Robin asked Starfire as he held out his hand.
"I would love to dance." Starfire replied as she placed her hand in Robins, and felt him wrap his hand around hers before they went to the dance floor, where they saw Sarah and Speedy on stage singing a song Robin remembered Sarah always listening to while they were in the circus together. Robin soon pulled Starfire onto the dance floor with him where Sarah could see them dancing. She smiled as she sang and watched the couple dancing, happy for them.
Sarah:
I sold your Rolex
To buy that gold Versace dress
Speedy:
I set free your whiny French poodle
So you can get your beauty rest
Speedy and Sarah:
And I did it all for you
I did it allfor you
This Christmas
All your dreams
Will come true
Speedy:
I put your mother on a Greyhound
You'd always hoped she'd have the chance to see the world - now she can
Sarah:
I torched your Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues
So I could be your only girl - and now I am
Sarah and Speedy:
And I did it all for you
I did it allfor you
This Christmas
All your dreams
Will come true
Sarah:
How can I forget
All you've donefor me, I'll get you yet
Speedy:
This is the season to give
But I can never forgive the damage that you've done
Speedy and Sarah:
This must be love
Sarah:
I sank your bass boat
So you'd have more time to spend with me
Speedy:
I hooked your grandma's diamond earrings
For the down payment on my SUV
Sarah:
Fully loaded, heated seats, in hunter green-is this for me?
Sarah and Speedy:
And I did it all for you
I did it allfor you
This Christmas
All your dreams
Will come true
The song was over, and Robin and Starfire looked at each other. They smiled.
"Hey Robin!" Robin heard Sarah yell. He looked at her to show that he had heard her. Then he saw Sarah pointing up and he and Starfire looked up to see a small piece of mistltoe hanging directly above them. Robin glared at Sarah through his mask, knowing she had set that up somehow, and she had the biggest smile on her face ever.
"Why is there a small plant hanging on the ceiling Robin?" Starfire asked.
"It'sa piece of mistltoe. It's a tradition on Earth that if a girl and boy are both under it then they have to kiss." Robin explained to Starfire, and saw that her cheeks had gotten slightly darker. "But umm... We don't have to kiss if you don't want to. I mean, umm..."
"Robin?" Starfire asked, and just then, Robin looked at her, lost in her beauty. He didn't realize it until then, but her really did love Starfire. And without realizing it, their faces moved closer to each other.
Starfire closed her eyes, as did Robin, both prepared to show each other how much they cared for each other. Then their lips touched, and they kissed each other, knowing how the other felt just from the kiss.
Robin still held one of Starfire's hands and had his other hand on her hip as he kissed her, but soon moved his hands so that they both were on Starfire's hips and pulled her closer to him as her arms wrapped around Robin's neck and held him to her.
Sarah and Speedy watched the whole scene before giving each other a high five.
"Mission accomplished." Sarah joked with a smile on her face.
"Right." Speedy replied with a smile.
Then Sarah grabbed the microphone. "Thank you everyone. Now I have another song for. I hope you like it." She said. Then she saw BeastBoy and Raven standing on the outskirts of the dance floor. "Come on guys!" She yelled into the microphone, pointing at Raven and BeastBoy. They looked at her, then looked around each other before pointing to themselves. "Yes, you! Dance!" She yelled before the music started and she sang.
Don't be afraid of feeling this way
I'm gonna make you understand
It's not about you, 'cause I am the fool
Building castles in the sand
If I act crazy, just don't care
It doesn't mean I don't want you near
This is the story about me and you
And it's called faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh, faith
Just take me as I am
So please, have faith
So many times in so many ways
I didn't know just where to go
You gave me a sign and opened my eyes
That's the reason why I know
That you are different, you're still here
I guess you figured me right there
Now I believe that we can make it through
And that's called faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
Oh, faith
Just take me as I am
So please, have faith
Have faith
So don't be afraid of feeling this way
Just hear me out, stay
And that's called faith
Right beside you is where I'll stay
It's not to late
Just take me as I am
So please, have faith
In me
Oh yeah
Just take me as I am
So please, have faith
Everyone stopped dancing after the song and clapped for their queen.
"Thank you." Sarah thanked them before the DJ took over and she and Speedy went down on the dance floor and dance together to the sound of One Heart by Celine Dion. Soon they were joined by Robin and Starfire, and the whole group danced together. Beastboy and Cyborg soon came over too, though Raven wanted to stand aside. She danced once with BeastBoy and that was enough for her. She didn't like to dance, and didn't much like the music playing either. So she stayed over by the punch bowl.
And the group partied the night away... until Raven told them she was ready to go, and they all agreed, so they went back to the palace to get ready for bed.
AN- Ha! I updated! Yay! And there was much rejoycing... I can't remember what movie that's from, but I do remember that in a movie! Oh! I might not update as often after this.
