MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It was snowing.

I felt snow covering my body inside the cave, but I didn't move. I opened my eyes and there was snow everywhere inside the cave. I looked around, but I couldn't see my dad anywhere. I stood up and I shook the snow off my back. I stretched and I stepped outside. I sniffed around, but the snow was so thick that I couldn't find Slade's scent anywhere. As I walked forward a little ways, a large snowball hit me in the back of the head. I cringed at the biting coldness and I shuddered. I shook my head and I looked behind me. No one was there. I walked a bit farther when I heard another snowball coming at me from the right. I teleported away and I found myself standing behind Slade. He looked around, but he couldn't find me.

"Thanks Dad," I said.

Slade turned his head towards me slightly and I could tell he was smirking behind the mask.

"No problem," he said sarcastically.

"I guess winter decided to come a bit early," I said. "I guess it's nice, though. I mean, after the world was destroyed by Trigon, I guess we could use some snow."

"I guess so."

"So, what are you getting me for Christmas?" I asked smiling.

Slade turned facing me and he looked at me as if I was crazy.

"I'm not telling you anything," he said. "If you're good enough, I'll get you something nice. But for now, time to teach this old dog some new tricks."

"Come again?"

"You need to teach me your attacks," Slade said. "We have a lot of free time on our hands and you also need to work on your Super Saiyan skills. We need to be ready when we get Robin."

"I like your thinking Dad," I said. "I think we should start with the basics first. Power readings. It allows you to find out how strong someone really is. You have a power level of 1,250 and I have a power level of 500, but only when I'm powered down." I turned Super Saiyan and I read my power level. "While I'm Super Saiyan, I have a power level of 5,000. Way higher than yours I'm afraid."

"How does it work?"

"You concentrate on the person in front of you," I said. "That's me. Now, clear your mind and find the power deep within me. Its best to look inside the mind and you'll find the power within. Try it."

Slade stared at me and I felt his aura rising in concentration. He was looking at me calmly, but his aura was telling me that he was trying too hard. So, basically, he couldn't do it. Not yet anyways.

"I can't find it," dad said. "Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?"

"You're concentrating too hard," I said. "You need to relax and focus. Once you master power levels, we'll go onto energy balls."

I looked up at the sky and snow started to fall. The wind picked up and I felt a storm brewing.

"I guess we better go inside," Slade said walking in the direction towards the cave. "We'll continue inside."

We went back to the cave and I decided to get me some breakfast.

"I'm going hunting," I said. "I'll be careful, I promise."

I walked out of the cave and I found the scent of a deer. I ran in the direction of the deer and I found it looking for grass in the heavily coated snow. I crept up behind it and I pounced. I landed on the deer's back and I bit into its neck. It fell over with me on it's back. I sniffed it to check if it was dead and I heard a buck snorting behind me. I turned my head in its direction and it ran at me, his head down, antlers ready to strike. I ignored it and I tried to drag the dead carcass towards the cave. The buck attacked me from behind and I went flying forward. I skidded across the snow and I stopped, hitting a tree. I growled at it and he charged. I jumped out of the way and the buck got his antlers stuck in the tree. The buck grunted and snorted, trying to get his head unstuck. I left it there and I started dragging my breakfast back to the cave. Unfortunately, he snow and wind picked up really badly and I couldn't see anything but whiteness. I dropped the deer and I sniffed around. The snow was too thick and I couldn't smell dad or the cave. The temperature was dropping and I was starting to freeze. I was shaking and I couldn't see anything, not even a silhouette of a figure walking.

"Anybody there!"

Nothing answered.

"Dad!"

Still nothing.

"DAD!"

I heard something in front of me and I saw something, but I couldn't make out who or what it was. I growled at the silhouette as it came closer and I stood my guard.

"Don't you be growling at me."

"How'd you find me?" I asked Slade.

"I tracked down your power level, how else?"

"Aren't you cold?" I asked. "'Cause I'm freezing out here."

"I'm used to it," he said. "Come on, we're not far from the cave."

Dad walked over to the deer and he picked it up. I followed him and we got to the cave in five minutes. We walked inside and I shook the snow off and I laid down. There was a fire in the cave and it was melting the extra snow off of my body. Slade took out a large pocketknife and he skinned the deer. I laid my head down and I was staring through the fire at Slade. He cut the deer's legs off and he threw me a deer leg. I chewed at the leg and I ate the meat. Dad was putting the guts aside and he cut the deer up into chunks. He placed them over the fire and he waited for the meat to cook. I started chewing on the leg bone and Slade was staring off into space. I didn't bother him 'cause I knew he was concentrating on a plan or something like it. I dug a hole into the dirt and I placed the bone inside. I covered the bone with the dirt and I stretched out my legs and my back. I curled up into a protective ball and I closed my eyes. It was way too quiet, but it felt nice to have peace and quiet. I fell asleep twenty minutes later and I felt calm and peaceful. Nothing was going to ruin my Christmas this year. I didn't even think about Robin or the Titans. As long as I was with dad, nothing would go wrong. Not even the blizzard raging outside.

It was three days 'til Christmas and I still hadn't found anything for dad. I didn't even know what he wanted for Christmas. Hell, there wasn't anything good for a Christmas gift. I was walking around the city and dad was shopping somewhere else. In normal clothing though, just to be safe. I didn't care if he stole anything or if he paid for it, I just hoped it would be something that I could cherish forever. We were still living in the cave, but I wanted a house to sleep in and by a warm fire. I was so used to living in a house, that I couldn't stand being in a cave outside in the cold. People kept looking at me as I passed, but I ignored them. As I walked by the park, I saw Beast Boy and Cyborg having a snowball fight. They didn't notice me as I walked by, but I didn't want them or the other Titans seeing me. Then they'd find out that Slade was in the city, doing God knows what.

Shouldn't they be watching out for bad guys or something?

"How the hell should I know," I said. "I don't keep track of the Titans 24/7. I don't even want to think about the Titans during Christmas."

Dad has always said that I talk to myself too much and I couldn't understand why. It got a little irritating after the third time I'd done it. I heard a motorcycle across the road and it was the R-cycle.

Well look who it is. Robin, The Boy Blunder. Dad better not see him or there'll be trouble for the both of us.

"Do I care?" I asked out loud, again. "Robin doesn't concern me at the moment. Its Christmas time and I still need to find something for Dad. I think Robin deserves an extra break, but only for Christmas. Once Christmas and winter is over, then I'll think about Robin and how I'm going to catch him. Now shut up and leave me alone."

"Talking to yourself Wolf Boy?"

I stopped walking and I didn't have to look behind me to tell who it was.

"Christmas? You?" I asked Raven, still not looking at her. "Holidays aren't really your style. You'd fit right in for Halloween though. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm looking for a gift for my Dad."

"And where is he exactly?" Raven asked.

"And I'd tell you why?"

"We just haven't seen him for a long time," Raven replied. "Is he planning anything yet?"

"Its Christmas Raven," I said. "We're only doing a bit of shopping that's all."

A snowball whizzed towards Raven and it hit her in the back of the head. I looked up at Beast Boy and Cyborg, who had snowballs in their arms, were giving each other high fives. Raven turned to the two boys and her eyes glowed black. The snowballs were lifted out of Beast Boy and Cyborg's arms and they fell in top of their heads. I started walking away and I came to the end of the city. I saw nothing exciting for a Christmas present and I thought of giving up. Then I saw a sign on a phone pole and I went over to it. There was a notice about a really nice home for sale and the picture showed the house, which was almost as big as a mansion. The price was at the bottom and it was worth thousands of dollars. It cost too much and I had no money. Not even Dad had enough money to pay for it. I looked around to see if the Titans were around and I tore the sign off the pole. I was looking at the sign upside down and I found the address. I went in the direction of the house and I found it deep in the woods, but I could still hear people talking and cars driving by. I didn't see anyone near the house and I decided to check out the inside. I teleported inside and I walked through the house. It was really nice inside and it was big enough for a lair. I had found my dad's Christmas present.

Only one way to have it.

"I've got to steal it," I said. "It's a good thing that I can teleport something as big as this. I need to keep it in a safe place where no one can find it and where Dad can't see it. I could place it in the old, old lair since no one goes near it. It's the only safe place to keep it."

I teleported outside and I placed a paw on the house. I concentrated on the old lair and I teleported, house and all. The house barely fit, but it would be safe from harm. I walked out of the lair and I headed back to the city. I found Slade and we went home.

"Find anything?" he asked.

"You'll see on Christmas," I said. "But I'm done shopping. Got everything you need?"

"Yes," Slade said. "Let's go home."

We started walking back to the cave and I saw Robin on his R-cycle, heading for Titans Tower. He didn't notice us as we walked home. My Christmas wasn't going to be ruined, no matter what.

Three days later, I woke up on Christmas Day and I teleported back to the house. Yesterday I had found a nice place where the city was still visible, but invisible to the naked eye. I teleported it there and I checked inside the house. Nothing bad happened to it and I teleported back to the cave before dad woke up.

He awoke an hour later and I was pretending to be asleep. He shook me awake and I opened my eyes.

"Merry Christmas," he said brandishing a package in front of me. I opened it and there was a balled necklace inside. Dad picked it up and he placed it around my neck. "What do you think?"

"Thanks Dad," I said. "Time for your gift."

I led dad to the house and we went inside.

"Merry Christmas Dad," I said.

"This looks very expensive," he said. "Where'd you come up with the money?"

"I stole it," I said. "It was worth thousands of dollars and no one was there. I teleported it to the old lair and I brought it here this morning. Nice huh?"

"I've taught you well my son," dad said. "No more living in a cold cave for us. Thanks for the gift."

"Just wanted to do something nice for you this Christmas," I said. "I couldn't think of anything else to get you and I found the sign near the park."

"I also got you this," he said. He had been holding something behind him and he pulled out a cage with a red bird inside of it. "It's a robin. I thought you'd like him, so, I got him for you. This way you can have confidence the next time we face Robin."

"So did you buy him in a store or did you take him from the wild?"

"I found him at the park and I took him," Slade said.

"Thanks Dad," I said. "I'm just glad that I can spend Christmas with you."

This truly was the best Christmas that I ever had.

And I was glad to spend it with the one I love the most.

Me: MERRY CHRISTMAS! I hope ya'll have a great Christmas and I expect reviews for a Christmas present. Make sure you read my last chapter for "RNLP3" which is also a Christmas chapter. I wish you and all my characters a Merry Christmas.
