YO! So, this chapter is set a while after the other one and BB's been to all of Raven's shows since that night, but she doesn't know yet. I'm sorry it took me so long to update, I had the third chapter written, but I changed my mind about what I wanted to do, so… yeah. Thank you all for the lovely things you all said about my lyrics. It showed me two things:

1. The rest of my writing sucked, and you people didn't want to be mean, so you decided to just talk about that.

2. Apparently my idea of moving to Nashville and becoming a songwriter doesn't suck.

I don't own the Teen Titans! Or the songs Arlington by Trace Adkins, Jesus, Take the Wheel by Carrie Underwood, and Christmas Shoes by Bob Carlisle! ...But, if you wanted to make me happy, that'd be a REALLY nice Christmas present!

Alright, here's your chapter. Enjoy it.


Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire stood in the kitchen of the Tower. They did stuff like this more often than most people thought, hanging out, just the three of them. But come on! It was Christmas morning (A/N: yes, I made them celebrate Christmas. I hope this doesn't offend anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas) and all that Cy could think about was girls! He had left this morning, been vague about where he'd gone and the others knew that could only mean one thing: sex. He brought random girls home once, maybe twice a week. (A/N: Okay, so he doesn't actually act like this, but he is a teenage boy. It's on the brain.) Beast Boy, being the youngest and the smallest of the guys, didn't get as much attention from girls (plus some of them have problems with the green skin). He might have better luck if he ever actually went strolling for chicks with him, but he hasn't. As for Raven and Starfire, for some reason guys didn't throw themselves at the two of them. Not that they would have slept with random guys off the street if they did. Robin, of course, was trying to figure out how Terra had come back, and why she hadn't shown her face for a month. But that's not what they were thinking about as they stood in the kitchen. They were spread out across the small room, cleaning up from the meal they had just made. BB (of course) was trying, unsuccessfully, to make small talk. "So, Raven, I was thinking…"

"That's a first."

"We could use some entertainment around here." She just shook her head and went back to cleaning. "Hey, Raven." She ignored him yet again. "Think fast!" At that she turned around and was met with a handful of flour in her face.

"I cannot believe that you just did that."

"Why not? You know how immature I am."

"Because I have the sugar." She said simply.

"Wha- Ahhh!" A large chunk of sugar came flying at him, but he ducked, so it hit Starfire instead. She blinked and licked her lips clean of the sweet substance while Beast Boy burst out laughing. At this, Starfire took a spoonful of cranberry sauce and shot it at Beast Boy. Soon, all sorts of food were just flying everywhere, and they were all laughing.

"Okay, okay, enough of this."

"The only way we're gonna stop is if you sing."

"I don't sing."

"Sure, you do." He sent some more of something flying at her. "How about you sing 3 Feet Open?"

"Never even heard of it."

"Sure you have, Rae Roth."

"Where did you get that name from?" She tried to blow it off, but her eyes had widened at the mention of her alias.

"Alright, so you don't know 3 Feet Open. What about…Arlington?" He smiled, remembering that she had closed with that song on Tuesday. It had been an audience request, and it had been inspiring.

"You mean Trace Adkins' Arlington? I didn't know that you liked that kind of music, Beast Boy."

"Well, I do. Please sing it?"

"Do I have to?"

"Sorta"

She sighed, and began the first verse.

"I never thought this is where I'd settle down

I thought I'd die an old man back in my hometown

They gave me this plot of land

Me and some other men

For a job well done

There's an old house sits on a hill just up the road

The man inside he cried the day they brought me home

They folded up a flag

And told my mom and dad

We're proud of your son

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful peace of property

I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company

And I'm thankful for those, thankful for the things I've done

I can rest in peace

I'm one of the chosen ones

I made it to Arlington

I remember Daddy brought me here when I was eight

We searched all day to find out where my granddaddy laid

And when we finally found that cross

He said son, this is what it costs

To keep us free

Now here I am a thousand stones away from him

He recognized me on the day they brought me in

And it gave me a chill

When he clicked his heels

And saluted me

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful peace of property

I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company

And I'm thankful for those, thankful for the things I've done

I can rest in peace

I'm one of the chosen ones

I made it to Arlington

And every time I hear

Twenty-one guns

I know they brought another hero home

To us

And I'm proud to be on this peaceful peace of property

I'm on sacred ground and I'm in the best of company

And we're thankful for those, thankful for the things we've done

We can rest in peace

We are the chosen ones

We made it to Arlington

Yeah, dust to dust

Don't cry for us

We made it to Arlington"

"That was beautiful." Starfire smiled, wiping a tear from her eye. (A/N: The song makes me cry every time I hear it.)

"I'm sure it wasn't." Raven stated bluntly.

"Alright, Rae. You got us to stop. Temporarily." Beast Boy said. Raven groaned. "If you sing something else now, something happy, maybe, we'll stop."

"For good?"

The changeling nodded and crossed his fingers behind his back.

"Alright. I guess one more won't kill me. What do you want to hear?"

"Huh, y'know, I don't know. What about…. Oooooh! A Christmas song like… ummm… Jesus, Take the Wheel?"

"That's not really a Christmas song, though. It's more religious than Christmassy."

"Dude, it's set on Christmas Eve."

"Whatever, Beast Boy. I still can't believe that you like Carrie Underwood. I'm never going to comprehend you." She shook her head in wonderment of the fact that he actually like good music. (A/N: alright, I think it's good, at least.)

"She was driving last Friday

On her way to Cincinnati

On a snow white Christmas Eve

Going home to see her momma and her daddy

With her baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go

She was running low

On faith and gasoline

It'd been long, hard year

She had a lot on her mind

And she didn't pay attention

She was going way too fast

Before she knew it she was spinning

On a thin, black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives

Flash before her eyes

She didn't even have time to cry

She was so scared

She through her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cuz I can't do this on my own

Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus, take the wheel

It was still getting colder

When she made it too the shoulder

And her car came to a stop

She cried when she saw that baby

In the backseat, sleeping like a rock

For the first time in a long time

She bowed her head to pray

She said I'm sorry for the way

I've been living my life

I know I've got to change

So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel

Take it from my hands

Cuz I can't do this on my own

Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance

Save me from this road I'm on

Oh, Jesus, take the wheel"

By this point, Robin and Cyborg (alone, thankfully) had both walked into the living room, and were cheering her on. She blushed and looked away. It had been hard enough to sing in front of Beast boy and Starfire without her alias and security guards, and she was really close to the two of them. Her, Robin, and Cyborg hardly ever did anything together.

"So, what are you waiting for?" Beast Boy asked. She looked at him kinda… funny. "Start singing another one." He said simply.

"You said I could stop after that!" Raven protested.

"Oops." He showed his crossed fingers and smiled sheepishly.

She growled, but still started singing.

"It was almost Christmastime

There I stood in another line

Trying to by that last gift or two

Not really in the Christmas mood

Standing right in front of me

Was a little boy waiting anxiously

Pacing 'round like little boy do

And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old

He was dirty from head to toe

And when it came his time to pay

I couldn't believe what I heard him say

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes

For my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry, Sir?

Daddy says there's not much time

You see, she's been sick for quite a while

And I know these shoes will make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If momma meets Jesus tonight

They counted pennies for what seemed like years

Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"

He searched his pockets frantically

Then he turned and he looked at me

And said, "momma made Christmas good in our house

Though most years she just did without

Tell me, Sir, what am I gonna do?

Somehow I just have to buy her

These Christmas shoes"

So I laid the money down

I just had to help him out

And I'll never forget the look on his face

When he said "Momma's gonna look so great"

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes

For my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry, Sir?

Daddy says there's not much time

You see, she's been sick for quite a while

And I know these shoes will make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If momma meets Jesus tonight

I know I won't regret that help

As he thanked me and ran out

I knew that God had sent that little boy

To remind me

What Christmas is all about

Sir, I wanna buy these shoes

For my momma please

It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size

Could you hurry, Sir?

Daddy says there's not much time

You see, she's been sick for quite a while

And I know these shoes will make her smile

And I want her to look beautiful

If momma meets Jesus tonight

I want her to look beautiful

If momma meets Jesus

Tonight"

(A/N: This one makes me cry, too.)

Partway through the song, Beast boy had joined her singing. She stared at him now, shocked that he hadn't completely sucked. In fact, he hadn't been half bad…


Alright, so there is your chappie. The last two songs foreshadow nothing, I just wanted to make it Christmassy. Arlington does foreshadow something, and for those of you too stupid to understand, Arlington is talking about Arlington Cemetery, the national burial ground for fallen soldiers. In America, that is.

I wanna apologize for the fact that almost the entire chapter is song lyrics. Most of the story is gonna be like that. Sorry, I just love music. If you get the chance to hear any of those songs,I suggest you take it. They're REALLY good.

Kay, so do you see that cute little purple button? You probably wanna click that. Please?

Happy Holidays!
