Unknown To You: Greetings
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans
Pretty soon, the routine that the household lived by was returning back to normal. Kori and Richard had began to socialise again and both of them seemed happier. Recently, Rachel and Gar had gotten engaged. The whole group of friends had been stunned by the sudden proposal; mostly because they couldn't believe Gar ever doing it. It was now nearing christmas and everyone was busy with christmas decorations and christmas shopping. Things had changed for the better over the last year; Richard and Kori were happier than ever, Gar had matured, Rachel had relaxed and Vic and Karen were extremely happy together. Christmas Day arrived very quickly and everyone had enjoyed the festive day and it's food. Luckily for Gar, Vic had been feeling extra generous that day and had cooked him a seperate meal of tofu meat and vegetables.. However, the friends weren't allowed to relax. Bruce Wayne had invited them all to Gotham City for the annual new year's charity ball. Unfortunately for them, Bruce had only given them four days notice and the girls were beginning to panic after two hours of hearing the information.
"What can I wear?" exclaimed Karen
"I need some new jewellary!" Rachel claimed.
"What shoes can I wear?" shouted Kori.
The three boys laughed together and found the perfect way of shutting them up. They each took their dates underneath a door frame and kissed them passionately. This didn't make much sense to the girls until they looked above them. There, dangling, was a bunch of mistletoe and immediately, they began to co-operate. They all stood there for at least two minutes until they could stand it no longer and had to breathe. That night, they had all fallen asleep peacefully, dreaming of the fun they'd had that day.
Two days later, they were all due to leave. Even though the ball wasn't until the next day, Richard had told asked them if they could leave one day early so that he could see Bruce. All of them had agreed and by 2pm, they were off to Gotham. By 6pm, they had reached Gotham City. Richard smiled as he thought about all the wonderful memories that Gotham City made him think about. He turned around to see how his other friends were doing. Sure enough, they had all fallen asleep in the back. Richard smiled to himself again. Each one of them had an innocent and angelic look about them, Kori looking the most. He turned back to face Gotham City and pointed in the north east direction.
"There?" asked Vic, obviously very surprised.
"There"
Vic pulled up into the gravel driveway, taking in the beautiful scenary around him. Perfectly trimmed hedges surronded the edges of the driveway and beautiful exotic flowers were spotted around them. The huge white mansion gleamed in the moonlight and the stars twinkled in the dark blue sky. Finally they reached the mansion and by then, the group of friends squashed in the back had woken up to be greeted by the enormous house. Each carrying their luggage, they walked up the steps. Richard rang the fancy doorbell and the sound echoed all around them. Everyone, but Richard, was impressed. An old man opened the door for them. He smiled at the sight of the teenagers.
"Master Richard, come right in," he beckoned, standing to the side of the door to allow the group in. They entered, reluctant at first, until Richard had reassured them that it was fine. Standing there was Bruce, smiling the same smile as Alfred was. Richard walked up to him, hugging him like a father and son.
"What are you smiling about?" joked Richard.
"Don't be cheeky. Are you going to introduce me to your friends?" Bruce asked Richard. Richard rushed over to stand with his friends and began to introduce them.
"Alfred, Bruce, meet Karen and Vic," Richard gestured to the couple standing next to each other. Vic was wearing tracksuit bottoms and a jumper. Karen was dressed in a jumper and tight fitting pencil skirt. Next he pointed towards the dark young girl dressed in a purple jumper and blue jeans standing next to the cheerful young boy clad in a white t-shirt and jeans.
"Rachel and Gar"
Finally, he went to stand next to Kori. She was wearing a red halterneck jumper with jeans and her hair was tied into a loose messy bun. She gently waved her hand towards Alfred and Bruce.
"And this is my fiancee, Kori Anders-Grayson," he replied, grabbing ahold of her waist, making her giggle.
"Nice to meet you all," said Bruce, going over to shake each person's hand. He came up to Kori and hugged her.
"Now, I don't want an unhappy daughter-in-law do I?" he whispered into her ear. Kori was puzzled. He continued speaking.
"If there's anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. It's nice to meet you, daughter"
"Thank you, Bruce...I mean, dad," she replied, returning the hug.
"Alfred, show them their rooms," he ordered the butler. Alfred obeyed and gestured for them to follow him. They walked up some grand looking stairs and walked down the long corridors.They approached the first door to the left.
"All of these rooms on this corridor are available. You may choose any one you like," he said. The couples rushed along the corridor, each of them choosing a room that suited their likes. Soon, every couple was happy with their accomadation and dinner was to be served. They followed Richard towards the dining room and gasped. It was a huge room lit with dangling chandeliars. It was heated by a fire in the corner and to everyone's surprise, the fire was big enough to heat the whole room.
"Take a seat," said Richard, pulling a chair back for Kori. The boys did exactly the same for their dates and dinner was to be served. A huge feast was laid in front of them. There was lobster, steak, lamb, scallops...and tofu. Everyone ate happily and by the end of dinner, they felt that they didn't need to eat for at least another week.
The night flew by and it quickly turned 11pm. Everyone was tired so they all retreated to their rooms. Rachel and Gar in the first room, Karen and Vic in the next and Richard and Kori in the last.
Richard had just returned from having a shower and a look of utter confusion was present on his face. There were candles. Kori never lit candles unless...He was interrupted from his thoughts by a sound coming from the bed. He looked over and saw Kori slip out from under the covers. His mouth dropped. She was dressed in a black lacy corset and a thong, covered by her flimsy dressing gown.
"Kori?" he asked, surprised by how different she was acting.
"Ssh..."she whispered, putting her finger on his lips. She kissed him softly, making him want more. He clambered onto the bed and kissed Kori more forcefully. This was going to be one hell of a night...
