I don't own the Teen Titans. If I did…then….well…um…I just don't…
Dedication: To Linka! Merry Christmas!

The dinner table was crowded that night. With the Titans (minus Robin, who said he had work to do)and two of Star's friends (Melissa and Emily, who had just returned from vacation in Florida) it was difficult to squeeze in. But other than the guests, dinner was normal, meaning Cyborg and Beast Boy were arguing.
"Why is there tofu on the table?"
"Duh! Because I eat tofu!"
"But it's too close to the real food!"
"Both of you shut up. This is a pointless argument about food."
"But-"
"I said zip it you morons! Is this really how you want to act in front of company?"
"Watch it Rae…somethin's gunna blow…" A vein on Raven's forehead started to visibly throb. Star jumped up.
"Raven, get some tea and ignore them, they're idiots. Cy, shut up about the tofu, no one said you had to eat it. And Beast Boy, keep the tofu on your side of the table." The boys fell silent while Raven levitated the teapot to the table. Star sat back down.
"Soooo…how was your trip Vandy?" Mel asked.
"Vandy?" B asked.
"It's one of Emily's nicknames." Star explained.
"How'd you come up with that from Emily?"
"We just shortened her last name." Melissa replied.
"Can her last name really be that difficult?" The green boy asked. Mel, Star and Emily nodded. "What is it then?"
"Vanderhinklemyerfunkleportlenscoletborzenzolokaplerdowergavennamtistevo servajaxerwivkoquelolerosbitan." The three girls said together. Everyone stared at them, wide-eyed.
"Huh?"
"Vander-hinkle-myer-funkle-portlen-scolet-borzen-zolo-kapler-dower-gaven-namti-stevo-serva-jaxer-wivko-que-lole-rosbi-tan." They repeated, more slowly. Everyone continued to stare.
"Which is why it was shortened to 'Vandy'" Emily concluded.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight…" Beast Boy said.
"Is this how things usually are around here?" Vandy asked. Star nodded.
"You kinda get use to it," she said, hitting Cy in the arm.
"Ow! What was that for?" She shrugged.
"Rae told me to."
"She's across the table!"
"I can do other things with my mind besides levitation…" The goth responded.
"Like what?"
"Like know when you're about to throw tofu across the table. Or talk to people without actually speaking."
"Say what?" Raven remained silent, but Cy's eyes went wide. "That's so cool!" She shook her head. It was just an average evening at the Tower.
