Chapter 1
Happy Glorfarq
It had been about 5 years since Robin started the Teen Titans. The Titans however were no longer teens, with the exception for Beast Boy who was the youngest of the group and whom would always be a little kid at heart. Robin, Cyborg and Raven were now 21. Beast Boy turned 19 just few months ago and Starfire was coming up on her 20th birthday. Over the years they all had grown up: Beast Boy was not the scrawny little pre-teen anymore. He was more physically fit, his face was boarder and handsomer. Cyborg had updated new technologies to himself; he was also a little more muscular. Robin who had always been in good shape, looked even better now. His arms were much more muscular, he had grown much taller over the years and grew even more handsome. He had also decided to lose the cap from his costume, he felt it was too juvenile for a man. Raven who had always had the maturity of an adult now had the body to match. Her outfit was the same but she filled it out much better. The same with Starfire, the little naïve alien princess who had joined the team 5 years ago was now a woman.
"Glorious morning friends!" Starfire shouted spinning into the air with her arms flaying about her. The other Titans just looked at her with puzzled faces. Starfire was always a morning person but never this…enthusiastic. Raven shook her head and went back to her coffee and her book. Beast Boy and Cyborg went on with stuffing their faces as was the usual contest at who could finish breakfast first. Robin looked up and smiled at Starfire.
"What's going on Star?" Robin asked while watching her still spin gleefully in the air.
"O, yes I must have forgotten to tell all of you." She said pausing with an anxious smile. "Today in my Glorfarq!" Starfire yelled causing even Raven to look up with some interest.
"Umm…Star...What's a Glorfarq?" Robin asked with a little bit of amusement in his voice.
"What?" Starfire hadn't heard him because she was too busy spinning. "Ooo, forgive my rudeness. A Glorfraq is a time in a Tamarainian's life when they have reached full maturity. They are now a woman…or a man. It is the equivalent to a human's 20th year of birth. It is a magnificent, wonderful and most proud day for a Tamarainian." Starfire beamed.
"20th birthday huh?" Cyborg scratched his chin deep in thought. "Well got to do it up right!"
"Where would you like to go Star?" Beast Boy asked food spilling out of his mouth. "How about the arcade?"
"Or…how about some where she wants to go?" Raven said irritated.
"I would most like to go to the park." Starfire said eagerly.
"Sounds like a plan." Robin said already getting up from the table and collecting some things they would need. Robin made some lunches, while Beast Boy and Cyborg desperately searched for the football. Finally they made it out the door and to the park. It was early June so it wasn't to hot out. It really was a beautiful day, all the Titan's were enjoying it, letting themselves soak up the gentle warmth of the sun. Beast Boy and Cyborg had grown tired of the 'peace and quite' and had started a game of football. Raven was enjoying the solitude; she sat down beneath a near-by tree and began to meditate. Meanwhile Starfire and Robin were unpacking the bag they had brought for the day. Robin watched as Starfire pulled everything out of the basket. She was humming on of her favorite Frank Sinatra tunes to herself. He closed his eyes and listened to her humming. He quickly opened his eyes when he heard a small gasp emitted from Starfire. Robin looked at her and saw the most amazing expression of astounded joy that he had ever seen on Starfire's face. She gasped at the something she pulled out of the basket. It was a small birthday cake, with "Happy B-day." And "We love you Star." Written in her favorite of all time: yes that's right…mustard. Robin's eyes widened…Starfire wasn't supposed t see that right now. Opps the others are going to kill me. O well. She looks really happy.
"Ooo…is this for me?" Starfire asked still gazing at the cake.
"Well…yes. But you weren't supposed to see it right now. It was kinda a surprise. Believe it or not…it was Raven's idea." Robin said feeling a little guilty about not watching her more closely. Starfire took her eyes off the cake and looked at Robin sympathetically; knowing she had spilled her share of secrets in the past 5 years.
"Well then, I will pretend I have not had the pleasure of seeing this most splendid present yet." She said giving him a small wink. Robin smiled back at her, knowing that the others would know because Star couldn't for the life of her keep a secret.
The other Titans had finished their activities and gathered around the picnic that Robin and Starfire had set up. Beast Boy, Raven and Cyborg all gave each other a small smile… "Hey guess whattttt…we have a surprise for you!" Beast Boy said giving her a broad grin. Cyborg and Raven were looking at her with the same face. (Well as much smiling as Raven would allow.) Starfire noticed that Beast Boy had reached into the basket and was holding something behind his back. She knew exactly was it was.
"Surprise!" all three of them shouted at once.
"Oh my X'hal! This is the most….O I am so surprised, I had no idea. Nobody told me or anything." Starfire said holding her cheeks with her hands and her mouth wide open. Starfire leaned over to Robin and gave him a small wink. She thought she had done an excellent job of pretending to be surprised. But the others knew her all to well.
"She found it. Didn't she?" Cyborg asked giving Robin a seriously disappointed look.
"Sorry, I wasn't watching her and she saw it." Robin sighed guiltily.
"What? That's impossible. You're always watching her!" Beast Boy accused. Robin blushed 18 different shades of crimson red; then glared at Beast Boy who received an elbow in the stomach from Raven. Starfire was too busy dipping her fingers into the mustard icing to notice what had just happened. Beast Boy gave a guilty smile and asked for a piece of cake. Robin rolled his eyes and was thanking God that Starfire had not heard them. When they had finished their picnic, Cyborg decided that it was getting late and they should go home. The whole way back Starfire thought about her wonderful present and the most amazing friends that she felt she didn't deserve.
