Um... Happy Thanksgiving? I know this is really early, but I want to get the entire story done before December. X-Men might not be resumed until I'm done with this...
"Surprise!" The three boys yelled as Thyme entered the common room. She smiled and looked around. Starfire had helped her pick out a maroon dress that fluttered away from her body and ended just below the knees. It had cap sleeves and a v-neck. The dress was just clingy enough around her body to show off the beginnings of a bump around her midsection.
"Thanksgiving?" She saw the turkey and pumpkin pie and made an obvious assumption. "You guys are so sweet!" She squealed. Beast Boy walked towards her and took her arm.
"You look… nice." He said, trying to contain a blush.
"Thank you," She said and then looked at the guys "This is so wonderful." She looked at Raven "It almost makes up for the three hours of poetry."
"Hey, you were the one who wanted to get out of the tower." Raven said as she sat down. Beast Boy pulled out a chair for Thyme and Starfire floated over to the one across from her.
After everyone was seated Robin reached for a knife to carve the turkey. "Wait!" Beast Boy interrupted. Quite Loudly.
"What?"
"We need to say what we are thankful for first." He looked around the table "Isn't that the point?"
"Ok, sure." Robin put the knife down and looked around. "I'll go first. I'm thankful for good friends. And for the safety of the town."
"Sure, take the easy ones." Cyborg commented. "I'll go next. I am thankful for Robin choosing to have real turkey instead of tofurkey." Everyone laughed at this, except for Beast Boy.
"Oh! May I be next?" Starfire asked excitedly.
"Sure." Said Robin.
"I am thankful for the friends, and for the glorious food, and for the laughter of children, and for the hugs, and for the puppies, and for the…"
"I think that's enough Starfire." Robin cut her off. He knew that could go on forever.
"What about you Raven?" Thyme asked. Raven glared at her.
"I'm thankful for ducktape." She said shortly.
"Why?" Beast Boy asked.
"Because next time Ty asks to go along with me somewhere I am going to ducktape her to a chair and make her watch Stargate reruns."
"I'm thankful for fate." Thyme interjected. "Because it brought me here, and I never would have known you guys if that hadn't happened.
"We'll I'm thankful for everything you guys just said, and for family. Since you guys are kinda the only family I got." Beast Boy finished.
"Agreed. Let's eat!" Cyborg practically dove across the table while reaching for the stuffing.
Ok, short boring and Oh so... blah.
Wow, I just gave myself the gist of the three reviews I'm going to get. Eh, send them anyway. I like getting the email.
