Whoops! Forgot about you guys... Started obsessing over "Avatar" and completely forgot to update. Sorry...
I am trying to decide what to put up after this and then I realized that it will be time for Christmas Fics once I'm finished with this.

The kitchen was a mess. Cyborg had put the turkey in an hour ago and was working on mashing potatoes when Beast Boy stuck his head around the corner.
"Smells good. Can I help?" He sniffed and morphed into a bloodhound and back.
"No. Unless you want to start cleaning." Cyborg held out a washrag as if it were a cobra.
"That's ok, I don't need to help that bad." Beast Boy backed around the corner once again, as afraid of the washrag as Cyborg was.
"You two are whimps." Robin said as he got up from the couch. He took the washrag and began scrubbing the counters where Cyborg had dumped flour, eggs, and various juices everywhere.
The turkey was almost done and Raven was supposed to bring Ty home in less than fifteen minutes. This was more special than just Thanksgiving, it had been a month since Thyme had come to stay with them.
"Beast Boy!" Robin yelled down the hall. "Come set the table!" As the small green boy came back around the corner a third time, Robin noticed the look of sheer confusion on his face.
"Set the table? How?" At first Robin thought he was joking, but when Beast Boy went to put the silverware out he realized that this was no joke.
"Fork on the left." He said quickly.
"Guys, remember, I'm the only one of us who never actually grew up with chores and stuff. Dude, I didn't even have a table for a few years." Beast Boy quickly reminded them of his strange upbringing in the Amazon before joining the Doom Patrol.
"Got it. So not even Robotman taught you how to set a table?" Cyborg tisked at him while pulling the turkey out of the oven. He began making the food look good and handing it to Robin to put on the table.
The doors suddenly began opening and they all dashed to hide the celebration they were working on.
"Why are you all standing in front of the kitchen as if you are hiding a Blorgnof?" Starfire asked innocently as she entered.
"Dude! You scared us." Beast Boy relaxed and continued putting forks on the right.
"It's a holiday Star. We are setting it up as a surprise for Ty." Robin explained.
"Oh. Can I be of assistance?" She floated towards the food, Robin quickly stopping her.
"Yeah, you can wait for Raven and Thyme to get back and then you can stall them. Give us a signal when they are coming." He pushed her back into the elevator and made sure she was headed down before sighing. "That was close. I don't think she should be anywhere near food."
"What's a Blorgnof?" Beast Boy asked.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Starfire! Just let me get upstairs please! I want to wash off the stench of Goth poetry. It's still attached to me." Thyme was in a sour mood. She had just sat through two hours of Goth-Death poetry and had hated every minute of it.
"But you must not go upstairs!" She exclaimed quickly.
"Why not?"
"Because, um, Because the boys have let loose a rampaging Blorgnof!" She lied fast and badly.
"What's really going on you two?" Thyme asked as she melted Starfire into the stairs so that she could keep going.
Raven tried to look innocent as she flew up behind her and began lying. "Nothing. Come on, we can take the elevator and you can change out of Goth clothes." She held a communicator behind her back and spoke loud enough for the mic on it to pick up her voice.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"Come on, we can take the elevator and you can change out of Goth clothes." Raven's voice came through the communicator in Robin's hand.
"They're coming!" He yelled a little too loudly at the other boys. Beast Boy dropped the silverware he had been carrying and Cyborg jumped.
"We heard." He said as he recovered from hitting the ceiling. "Don't worry, we'll be ready." He gestured to the almost finished table setting and the sparkling clean kitchen.
"Good, I'm going to go clean up. I suggest you two do the same." Robin looked Beast Boy up and down and frowned. For someone who was only setting the table, he looked like he had been through a war; and lost.
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
"I suggest you wear garments of a more attractive nature." Starfire coached Thyme as she led her to her room. "Maybe I can help you assemble an array of clothing for the purpose of 'trying on'."
"Uh, sure. I guess." They got to her room and Raven abandoned them to check on something. As Starfire entered Ty's room, she became extremely excited.
"Oh Yay! May I also braid your hair?"
"Sure, maybe after dinner."
"No! I must make you beautiful for the feast the boys have prepared!" Starfire suddenly looked mortified. She realized that she had spilled the beans. "Please, do not tell them that I told you! I was supposed to keep the secret, but it seems that I have given it to you without meaning too."
"It's ok Star. I'll pretend to be surprised." Ty smiled at her. She had suspected a surprise of sorts. "Come on," She made her way to the closet, "Lets find something for me to wear."
Yay, chapter. Not to enthusiastic today, sorry. Going to go update X-Men now...
