Chapter 1, Part 1:
The sun was half way up into the sky that morning. In almost every store that lined the city streets were valentine's cards and gifts. Why? Well what do you think tomorrow was anyways? Valentines!
In the giant T shaped tower that held the six Titans breakfast lingered in the air.
Cyborg, the half human and half robot was cooking up some more waffles and eggs. The usual breakfast for the morning. His green skinned pointy eared friend Beast Boy was at his side protesting about the eggs. And Cyborg was ready to throw the changeling out the window.
"For the last time BB, there is no way I am going to make tofu waffles or tofu eggs! Those are just freaks of natural food!" Cyborg said with a half growl in his voice.
"Well there is no way I am converting to being a cannibal because you can't share the stove with me!" Beast Boy crossed his arms.
"Get a piece of toast then or something!" Cyborg stirred the eggs.
"Toast? TOAST! Why can't I just eat tofu!" Beast Boy threw his arms in the air in disbelief. Though these fights where all too common.
A boy with black spiky hair and a mask that always covered his eyes sat with one elbow on the counter, his hand holding his head up with a look of plain annoyance on his face. He looked almost as though he was spacing off, blocking the two arguing boys out and staring at the wall. His mouth was hanging open and he hardly blinked once. The boy wonder was seriously bored with this fight for food.
Another person sat in the room, hands folded neatly on the counter, just grinning at the two arguing boys. She loved to watch them fight. She always found it funny. She brought up a can of cherry coke to her lips to take a sip. The blonde haired, blue eyed girl looked from protesting boy to the other as each spoke, just grinning and trying not to laugh.
The two boys fought over the food longer then it would have taken to just... make what they both wanted.
When the red head alien girl, Starfire, walked in and finally coaxed them to make there food together they agreed. Though it helped she said that she would make foods from her home planet if they refused to stop fighting.
"Meat," Cyborg grumbled under his breath at Beast Boy, who was standing beside him making tofu,
"Tofu," BB grumbled back.
"Meat,"
"Tofu,"
"MEAT!"
"TOFU!"
A dark haired girl had come down with Starfire, Raven. She had been meditating in her room for awhile. She had taken a seat at one of the six barstools, impatiently waiting for the breakfast that seemed never to arrive. She was getting more and more fed with the fighting. "QUIET!" the goth-like girl finally yelled, a vein in her temple throbbing.
Terra stifled her laughter. She and Raven were very different. While Raven found Beast Boy's and Cyborg's fighting irritating, Terra only found it amusing and entertaining.
Robin finally lifted his head from his hand. "Can't you guys just get on with it and make breakfast?" he asked in a half irritated, half bored out of his mind tone.
"Well this would be done if booger boy would just learn to eat meat like the rest of us!" Cyborg said.
"HELLO! Do you forget that I turn into half of those animals! I CANT EAT MEAT! THAT'S SICK AND WRONG!" Beast Boy waved his arms in the air.
Starfire shot the boys a warning look and that mixed with Raven's demand for them to knock it off they did. Breakfast was served a few minuets later. Waffles and eggs for all the Titans but Beast Boy who ate non dairy waffles and tofu eggs.
As much as Terra liked meat, she had to agree with Beast Boy on that one. When breakfast was finally served, she had no hesitation on digging right in. She picked up her fork and immediately started shoveling large amount of food in her mouth at once. For being as skinny as she was, it would amaze anyone who saw her eat for the first time.
Robin wasn't nearly as bad as Terra, although he still shoveled food into his mouth as though it might disappear into oblivion any second.
Raven was different from her friends when it came to eating. Unless she was really hungry or something. She ate not fast, but not slow. Regular speed. Well, any speed compared to her friends was slow, but still.
Starfire ate more then some of the others; she did after all have nine stomachs.
Cyborg was eating at his normal speed; he didn't eat at record time. But fast enough for people to think he hadn't eaten for awhile.
Beast Boy was the same way, his fork moved from his plate to his mouth in lightning speeds. He had games to play and what not. He didn't even remember what tomorrow was, he hadn't been good on keeping dates.
"So, Robin you know what tomorrow is right?" Cyborg gave Robin the 'your about to get teased' look.
Robin took a break from eating and looked up. "Uhh… Wednesday?" he asked, completely oblivious. What was so special about Wednesday?
"I thought it was Thursday…" Terra said, also looking up. Okay, so she hadn't exactly been keeping track either.
"You guys are hopeless," Raven said with a smirk on her face.
"Tell me about it," Cyborg agreed with Raven in a joking way.
"I know what's tomorrow! TV specials are on all day!" Beast Boy perked up. Starfire didn't have a clue so stayed quiet because she had a feeling they where about to be told.
"Valentines," Cyborg said.
Beast Boy dropped his fork and coughed. "Real? I thought that was next week..."
"What!" Terra asked in a slightly shocked voice. She kinda sorta thought it was next week too… Oops.
"Guess that explains all the specials," Raven smirked. "Valentine's Day specials."
"GAH! Already!" Robin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets
"Ewww, I'm not watching lovy dovy junk all day..." Beast Boy stuck his tongue out to help prove his point.
Starfire looked from one friend to the other "Please inform me what this valentines is?" she said.
"Ask Robin," Cyborg stuffed more food in his mouth to keep from laughing.
Beast Boy's eyes glanced over at Terra then back at his half eaten food. Tomorrow? he hadn't even decided what he was going to get her! this sucked...
Terra was now looking down at her plate, just kinda picking at her food with her fork. Okay… so Valentine's Day had kind of snuck up on her this year. She glanced over at Beast Boy. What could she get him? He deserved more then she could get him.
Robin glared at Cyborg. He didn't make it that obvious… did he? "Valentine's Day is… well, it's a day when… uhh… well it's a day to let the people you care about know that you care about them. It's really big with couples," he resisted the urge to cough out the names 'Beast Boy' and 'Terra'.
Raven looked over at Starfire. "In one word- mushy," she said.
Beast Boy's feet kicked at the bar counter. Terra was more tomboy then girly. What did tomboys like on Valentines Day? Uhh... nothing too girly or pink or whatever. Though her favorite color was red right? That was a fairly popular color on this holiday. Maybe he would try to sneak out things she wanted today from her.
"Oh" Starfire thought about it for a moment. "But why must you have one day for this? Are you only allowed to tell someone that you posed deep feelings on this day and not any others?" she started her questions.
Cyborg was trying so hard not to laugh at Robin right now.
Terra thought about it. What did Beast Boy like? Video games… TV… Tofu… well, there was a lot he liked. But what would be a good thing for Valentine's Day?
Robin shook his head. "No, you can tell someone you like them anytime of year. Valentine's Day is just like a reminder. Or if you've never told who you liked that you like them, it's a popular thing to do so on Valentine's Day. But if it doest work out, you can tell them any other time of year," the Boy Wonder tried to explain this. He wasn't exactly good at this kind of stuff. That's why Valentine's Day had always been his most difficult holiday to deal with.
Raven was still smirking. This should be fun.
"Oh I see," Starfire nodded her head in understanding. Though she was sure to have more questions later. That and right now part of her was arguing to get Robin something for tomorrow.
Cyborg looked over at BB and Terra then smirked. "What about you two?" His voice filled with teasing.
Beast Boy didn't let himself blush, he merely looked at Cyborg then said "what about you? get something for your car this year?" He joked.
"Yep, new seat covers," Cyborg sounded proud.
"I was joking..." Beast Boy raised his eye brow.
Terra turned to look at Cyborg, giving him a look of disbelief. Her eyes were slightly narrowed in a questioning way, her mouth hanging slightly open, and shaking her head. "That is not normal!" she insisted, though ignoring his teasing.
Robin even turned to look at Cyborg. Okay, he knew Cy liked his car. But that much? He looked back at his plate of food. Okay… he needed to get Starfire something…. But what? As nervous as it made him to actually give a girl a gift on Valentine's Day… Starfire was special. She was different then most girls.
Raven wasn't surprised at Cyborg's answer. She would have been more surprised if he hadn't gotten anything for the car.
"Incase you didn't notice Blondie, nothing around here is 'normal'" Cyborg laughed then finished his food off.
"Good point," Beast Boy shrugged.
Terra shrugged as well. "True," she said. She went back to playing with her food. Okay… this was even harder then she thought. She so far couldn't come up with one single even decent gift.
Robin brought his fork to his mouth again, taking another bite of waffle. Okay… there were lots of things he could get Starfire… if he didn't chicken out. He'd fought against Slade plenty more then once, dude's with spider's for heads, a giant demon trying to end the world, and multiple other bad guys but he couldn't do something so simple as to tell a girl he liked her, or even give a her gift for that matter.
Raven took a sip of her herbal tea as she finished her breakfast. Whoa… she was done before Terra… and Robin? Either she had eaten fast today… or they were REALLY slow. A black aura surrounded her plate and fork and they carried themselves to the sink where they set them selves down gently.
Robin brought his fork down for another bite. It made a light chinking sound as fork his plate. He brought the empty fork back to his mouth and acted as though there was still food on it. His plate was clean; he just didn't realize it as he thought about anything he could do for Starfire on Valentine's Day.
Beast Boy picked at the rest of his food till he had finally finished it. He stole another glance at Terra then back at his plate which he wasn't going to bother and take to the sink. B hopped down from his seat and walked over to the couch to think.
Cyborg was going to have a field day! Teasing for two days straight. He also finished his food and stacked his plate on BB's and took them both to the sink.
Robin, after about five minutes of bringing an empty fork to his mouth, realized that he was chewing and swallowing food that wasn't there. He shook his head slightly and stood up, carrying his plate and fork to the sink. They made clattering noises against the other dishes in there.
Terra still hadn't finished eating. Well, she wasn't very hungry anymore, but she had a little over half the food still on her plate. She was too busy thinking about tomorrow.
Starfire merely stared down at her food thinking. What would Robin like? She had no clue what boys on her planet liked, let alone boys on earth! She wasn't a boy expert but she was around Robin everyday. She should know what he would like as a gift.
Cyborg smirked at Robin "So whatcha gettin' your girlfriend?" He asked loud enough for Robin to hear.
Beast Boy mindlessly flipped, why where all the TV stations playing romance!... Okay stupid question. Maybe he would just ask Terra out, they hadn't gotten much time by themselves lately. Maybe she would like to just hang out?... maybe but still he needed to get her SOMTHING!
Terra pushed her plate away. This was starting to make her brain hurt. She let her head hit the counter. Okay, that hadn't helped as well as she'd hoped. There had to be something she could get Beast Boy. Maybe a new video game? Or maybe a new movie? Those were both lame though!
Robin's eye widened at the 'G' word. He still became totally nervous when that happened. If you looked closely enough, one of eye's twitched. He didn't have a girlfriend! Though last time he'd said that he'd had one of the worst times in his life. He tried to just ignore the comment.
Raven only sat watching her friends. Boy… she was glad she wasn't falling head-over-heels for someone. This looked like torture. Maybe she could help with the teasing later.
"Aww c'mon! Don't tell me your not gettin' her nouthin'" Cyborg raised his eye brow at his masked friend. He had long taken the job of playing match maker with the help of Raven every now and then. Though this included lots of teasing.
Beast Boy sighed frustrated then swung his head back and stared at the ceiling in thought.
Robin still made no answer, only slumped in his seat. He needed a plan… he needed to get out of here and buy something for Starfire. Then think up a clever way of maybe telling her? Okay, ex the part about telling her. It would be embarrassing enough just getting her something and giving it to her. Telling her would probably kill him.
Terra lifted her head. This was hopeless. She couldn't just think of the perfect gift. She had to see the perfect gift. Buy how could she get out of here without the other Titans asking where she's going? And if she told them, they'd for sure want to come too. After all, they always did stuff together.
Starfire looked around; maybe she would go to the mall of shopping later. She very well knew Terra wanted to get something for Beast Boy; it was way too obvious that they liked each other. So maybe Terra would go with her? And maybe help? Starfire walked over to her blonde friend. "Friend, I was wondering if you wished to venture to the mall of shopping with me later." She whispered to Terra.
"You're no fun..." Cyborg whined then walked off to find another 'love dove' to tease.
Terra looked up and smiled. "Yeah, sure!" she said gratefully. That would be perfect! Why hadn't she thought of that? That mall was a perfect place to look for a gift for Beast Boy. Maybe Starfire could help her a little.
"Most wonderful," Starfire chirped while clapping her hands a few times in joy.
It then hit Robin. Perfect. He jumped off his stool and went over to the couch, vaulting himself over it. "Hey," he said to Beast Boy, as he sunk down in his seat as if he didn't want to be seen. "What do you say to going out later and finding something for Starfire and Terra? You help me, I'll help you," he suggested in a near whisper.
Beast Boy lifted his head up and looked at Robin while he talked. "So you are getting Starfire something?" His voice held teasing. "Sure, I'll go." He quickly added before Robin whacked him over the head or refused to let him go or something of the sort.
"Nice save," Robin said with a partially annoyed look on his face. "What time do you think is good?" he asked.
Terra smiled. Well, that solved that problem! Er… almost anyways. What if she couldn't find anything? What if she came to Beast Boy on tomorrow empty handed? That would be torture for her… She just felt like she had to get Beast Boy something. It was like… tradition.
"I dunno..." Beast Boy shrugged. "Whenever, got nothing to watch on TV, it's all romance crap." He made a disgusted face.
"Perhaps we shall head off soon? For then I can come home and do the decorating" Starfire suggested.
"Alright," Terra said. "I need my wallet, so I'll just go grab it," she hopped off her stool and went to the stairs. Once her foot touched the upstairs landing and went off at a jog to her room and opened her door. She pulled her wallet off her dresser and left her room again.
Robin nodded. "Wanna head out now?" he asked.
Starfire while waiting for Terra ran to get her own. She grabbed a little purple back pack that was no bigger then a purse. But it went on your back instead. She swung that onto her back then flew out of her room and looked around in hopes of meeting with Terra in the hall way.
Beast Boy nodded then looked over the couch, where did the girls go? He looked back at Robin as if this was some top secret operation. well in a way it was. "Yeah, before the girls come back down here."
Terra walked out of her room, letting the door close behind her. She started on her way to the staircase, turning a corner into one of the many other halls she saw Starfire. "Ready to go?" she asked.
Robin sat up, looking around. Perfect. "Let's go," he said jumping up as if this were another mission.
Starfire nodded madly. "Yes!" was all she could say.
Beast Boy jumped up then started to the door as a rat as if he didn't want anyone to know he was leaving. Well okay, he didn't want Terra or Cyborg to know he was going. Cyborg because that dude loved to tease too much.
Robin followed the green rat at a quick pace, he wanted to get out of there fast. He didn't see Cyborg at the moment, but that didn't mean he wouldn't walk in any minute. Or the girls come down. That wouldn't be good.
Terra smiled and started back up again, walking down the many halls. "So…" she asked. "What do you need at the mall?" she asked. She thought she knew, but was just making sure.
At the door Beast Boy morphed back into his human state, though soon morphed once more when crossing the lake.
Starfire looked over to her side at Terra then back at the floor. "Oh um... I was intending on... getting a present for Robin for this day of valentines," her face started to heat up.
Robin had taken a little longer in getting there since he had gone to the garage and gotten the R-cycle. Once on the shore next to Beast Boy he revved the bike again. Okay, so he liked the way that sounded.
Terra smiled. "I thought so," she decided not to tease poor Star in any way. "Well… I'm getting something for Beast Boy, so maybe we can help each other?" she asked as they came down the stairs.
"Oh, that sounds most wonderful!" Starfire agreed. Her hands laced together by her fingers and held near her chin as she thought of things to get Robin. "I would be more then happy to help with you with the search of gifts for Beast Boy. But I fear I do not know what Robin likes..." She was talking rather quietly when the word Robin was brought up. Though she knew Terra wouldn't tease her (unlike a certain half robot we all can think of) she still felt shy on the conversation.
Beast Boy looked at Robin as he made it over, he had beaten the masked boy by a minute or two if that. He morphed into a hawk and flew into the air so he could get speed. His top speed of around one hundred mp an hour when diving, so he could probably beat Robin to the mall if he wanted. All he had to do was fly high enough to make half dives most of the way there.
Terra smiled again as she opened the front door and stepped outside. "Well, we'll look around a little and see what we can find," she said. "I dunno what to get Beast Boy either…" she said.
Starfire nodded, fallowing Terra out of the tower and wondering where her other friends had gone. Her feet lifted from the rocky ground once outside, "Where would you suggest we start then?" She asked. Though she had been to the mall many times she still couldn't remember all the stores. Heh, only a total mall rat would. That place was huge.
Robin looked up as Beast Boy flew off and revved the bike again before going after him. He rode fast, wanting to get the mall ASAP. The sooner they got there, the more time they had to look around.
Terra lifted the piece of ground she was standing on and started over the lake. "Well… We could maybe look around at a video game store. Or movie place. Anything electronic. They both like their video games, so that's a start," she informed.
Beast Boy was actually later at getting to the mall then Robin. Not by much, It was probably because he didn't get enough air, being too lazy to go high enough for a safe dive. He landed at the door morphing human as he did so. He was pretty good at the morphing back and forth thing... should hope so seeing how he had done it for years.
Starfire nodded, though she didn't know much about games all three boys where almost always playing them. She probably couldn't tell a game boy advance game from a gamestation game actually...
Robin had already found a parking spot for his bike and was waiting for Beast Boy at the doors, leaning against a wall, arms folded. Once Beast Boy caught up, the Boy wonder pushed himself off the wall with his shoulder and headed in. "Okay... so where first?" he asked. Okay… Starfire was more girly then Terra… so… Oh God… did that mean he had to look in the girlier departments? Oh God, not perfume… Hey… Maybe that was a good idea?
Once at the shore Terra didn't stop. She was already brainstorming things she could get, or what stores to try out. Why were guys so complicated to buy for?
Beast boy shrugged as he walked inside the mall. "How am I supposed to know? Not like I live with the girls or anything," he joked. Beast Boy was trying to think of what to get Terra. Maybe a CD? Or a DVD, or... or... something...
Starfire was thinking to herself Oh; I do not know what to get Robin! What if I do not choose well enough? Or I do not find him anything suitable! She worried. The titans hadn't ever really done this holiday before, not that she could remember anyways.
Robin looked around, scanning the area with multiple stores and people laughing and chattering away. There more then only a few couples walking around, hand in hand. "Well, let's look at what we've got," he said. "We've got Terra, more tomboy-ish. Then there's Star, more girly. So..." he trailed. That doesn't help, the confused masked boy thought to himself. "Well, let's just start walking," he said before starting off through the mall, looking around at all the stores.
Once they were finally at the mall, Terra landed her rock and jumped off. "Well… let's see, Beast Boy likes jokes, and pranks and what not…. Maybe there's a prank shop," she said more to herself.
Beast boy nodded, agreeing. He looked around the mall, ready to start off when he looked behind him. As most malls the doors where glass, he spotted the girls. "Uh Robin..." He poked Robins shoulder and pointed outside before taking off for the escalator. Great, the girls. Oh perfect.
Starfire landed a little while after Terra did. "Yes, I believe friend Beast Boy would like those sort of items," she agreed, but was still stuck with her question; what to get Robin?
Robin looked outside and his eyes widened. Great! Just great! He looked back to where Beast Boy should have been. "Ditcher," he mumbled. "Wait for me!" he called kind of quietly before dashing after Beast Boy, dodging people who got in the way.
"Wait for you? How about you just catch up!" Beast Boy yelled just loud enough for Robin to hear over all these people before running up the moving steps.
Terra then started thinking about something they could maybe find for Robin. Wow… Robin was even harder then Beast Boy. Hmm… Robin doesn't spend a lot of alone time with Starfire… maybe that would be good? Terra thought to herself.
Starfire opened the door and walked in then waited for Terra, she loved the mall. So many smells and people! "I was thinking perhaps we shall venture to this store of jokings and prank making first. So you may get your present," She offered. Seeing how she still needed time to figure out what Robin was getting.
"MOVE!" Robin yelled to a group of teens before running through and splitting the group apart. When he came to two lovers holding hands and paying attention to night but each other, Robin put a hand on each of their shoulder and vaulted himself in between them. What was wrong with people these days? If you see a masked teen running at you, you should move out of his way! Robin finally came to the escalator and jumped on. Looking behind him, he saw Starfire and Terra way back. He sighed a sigh of relief.
Terra nodded her head. "Alright. I guess I can get Beast Boy a few things from there, then if I find something else… I'll just get it," she grinned then started for the cute little joke shop down a little ways.
Beast boy was already at the top, pointing down at Robin and laughing with his spare hand resting on the railing up top. He found Robin in a hurry rather funny when it wasn't a bad guy he was running from.
Starfire walked along side Terra, looking in different shop windows. A lot of sport and clothing stores. Robin liked sports right? But she did not know which teams he liked! This might take awhile.
Terra stopped outside the joke shop, looking up at the giant sign, flashing different colors. "Eep!" she ducked as one of those fake snakes from a nut can came flying out of the shop. "Oh this should be fun," she said half sarcastically. It would be fun because it was a prank shop, come on! But, it wouldn't be fun because of all the kids pulling pranks on each other with all the 'Try Me' items. Terra walked in, looking around at all the different prank gadgets and devices.
Robin stepped off the escalator giving Beast Boy an 'I hate you' look. He didn't really, he was just annoyed. He hit Beast Boy over the head, not too hard, before starting off again.
Starfire stepped out of the way of the snake, giving it a questioning look before popping her head inside. Yea, lots of teenagers running around with cans and bags. Stuffing things into other peoples' faces or trying out something. She was considering just waiting out here for Terra... but fallowed anyways.
"Ow!" Beast Boy grumbled while rubbing his head then fallowing Robin. "Where to first?"
Hey guys! this is Tianimalz. Okay one thing i wanted to say is; I have NO idea how the Titans get money, non of them have paying jobs. so uh... let us all use the magic of fan fiction!
