A/N: I'm sorry this is so late. I've been swamped with school, homework, field hockey practice, and still finding time to hang out with friends AND do my chores. I promise I will try and be more frequent. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO REVIEWED!
IMPORTANT: in Moonfire, I know I gave the color of Kyle's eyes and even the picture described his eyes, but I'm going to change that to say his eye color was no response and that he was wearing sunglasses in his picture.

"Hey Danny, you wanna grab me a soda?" Kimi shouted over the back of the couch as she watched TV the next day. Her long tanned legs were crossed and her black sneakers were resting on the table. She was clad in a denim skirt and a baby blue tee-shirt, with the arm covers traditional of Tamaran that she loved to wear.
"Not really."
"This isn't a discussion. Remember, six days left."
Danny sighed, before reaching into the fridge and grabbing a Sierra Mist. "This has got to be against the law."
"You wouldn't feel the same way if you had won," Kimi told him. "But, fortunately for me, you got your butt whooped by a girl." Danny gritted his teeth, jumping over the back of the couch and landing next to Kimi and handing her the soda. "Thanks Dan-Dan."
"Do you know what really sucks about being a Titan?" Danny asked Kimi. Clara was sitting on the very end of the couch reading a book, and Sara was sitting next to Kimi, daydreaming while paying slight attention to the TV.
"Nothing?" Kimi asked.
"No. I won't be able to play Lacrosse anymore," Danny sighed. Kimi rolled her eyes.
"You play Lacrosse?" Sara asked, obviously just returning to the conversation. "I play lacrosse too."
"Cool!" Danny exclaimed. "We should play together sometime," he suggested innocently. "Of course, it won't be too fair seeing as you've never body checked before."
"Actually, I have. Boys vs. Girls game at my coach's house for the end of the season. It was quite fun," Sara told him. Kimi rolled her eyes and picked up the controller, and began surfing through the channels.
"Oh my God!" Kimi exclaimed, pointing to the TV as she changed the channel. "Look at this!"
Danny watched the figures on the screen. Then, the screen went black and a theme song began to play. "When there's trouble you know who to call…TEEN TITANS!"
"Oh my God…they actually made a show about your parents," Danny laughed. "Wow. That's insane." Danny slapped his knees in mirth. "Nice."
"Whatever," Clara noted with a small roll of the eyes, before standing up and shutting her book with a loud and resounding snap. "I'm off."
"To where?" Sara asked.
"I don't know. Maybe train or something. I'll see you guys later," Clara told them, before walking out the doors and into the hallway. She was walking past the gym, and got about four steps past, before she backed up and looked inside its open doors.
Kyle was training, punching an unseen target, before roundhouse kicking it and giving it another jab. Clara leaned against the doorframe, her head cocked, watching him with a small smile. His back was to her, so he could not have seen her.
It was two minutes before either teenager said anything. "Do you enjoy watching people work out?" he asked with a slight smirk, without turning around.
"Depends who it is," she responded with her steely voice. Clara dropped her book next to the door and stepped towards the mat "You want to spar?" she asked, walking around his body to face him straight on.
A chill ran down Clara's spine as he smirked, creating dimples in his cheeks. "Sure," he responded, leaning forward to shake her hand. "Just…don't go all 'magic' on me, please?" he joked.
"I'll try not to," Clara told him, before sinking into stance. Within minutes they had begun to fight.
And, with a knowing smirk and a haughty laugh, Kyle had claimed title of the victor.
TT2"So…what do you think?" Kimi asked as she popped another kernel into her mouth, cuddled up next to Danny. "I think her boyfriend did it."
They were watching Cursed, along with Sara, Clara, and Kyle. Taku was holed up in his room, doing something he had been very secretive about to the others. "I don't know. Too soon to tell."
"Isn't it obvious?" Sara asked. "It was that bitchy horse-faced stick-woman." The other four looked at her in curiosity. "Oh, you'll see. I bet you all twenty bucks it was her."
Kimi smiled as her and Danny's hands met in the popcorn bowl. The lighting was dim, and it was rather dark outside, making it the perfect time for a movie. She rested her head against his shoulder, and sighed softly. She was only a young teenager, true, but she had a soft spot for Danny. He had always been special to her.
At frightening moments in the movie, Sara would 'eep' and turn her head into Kyle's shoulder. Kyle didn't protest, but held back a rather large grin. Clara would roll her eyes when this would happen, thinking to herself that her sister was too obsessed with boys.
Clara curled up beneath a black blanket she had brought up from her room and continued to watch the movie in silence.
About twenty minutes later, Taku had entered the living room and jumped over the back of the couch to join his friends in watching the movie. "What have YOU been doing?" Clara asked apprehensively.
"Nothing," he replied angelically. "Now do you mind sharing some of that blanket? I'm cold."
Clara rolled her eyes before grudgingly relinquishing some of the blanket to let him curl up under it.
By the end of the movie, the team had nodded off. Kimi's head was in Danny's lap, as he softly stroked her hair. She was fast asleep and snoring lightly, curled up. Danny had his hand entangled in her jet-black hair, and his head was lolling onto the back of the couch. Sara had leaned her head against Kyle's shoulder and as well fell fast asleep. His head was tilting against hers, their breathing both even and synchronized. Clara had her head leaning against Taku's shoulder, with his head leaning softly against hers. The massive black blanket covered both of their bodies. A small smile was adorning her pale face.
Kimi was the first to wake about twenty minutes after the movie had ended. She stirred in Danny's lap, blinking her eyes tiredly. Carefully, she removed his hand from her hair and clasped it in her own. "Dan…" she cooed softly, pushing back his blonde hair. "Dan…movie's over…"
He stirred. A small smile adorned his face as he looked down to Kimi, who had rested her hands and her cheek on his chest. "Key Kimi," he greeted back. "C'mon, let's wake up the rest of these lazy bums."
Kimi stood up and brushed herself off. She walked over to Sara and Kyle, but a small smirk crossed her features and she left them as is. It was obvious Sara had a thing for Kyle already…wasn't too hard to see, really.
"Hey Clara," Kimi whispered, pushing her teammate. "Clara, wake up."
Clara smacked her lips and slowly opened her eyes, adjusting them to the light. She squealed frantically and popped her head off of Taku's shoulder. He groggily popped his own head up and looked around, blinking lethargically.
"What? Who attacked? I'm ready. Titans, go!" he shouted, before Clara scrambled away from him and pushed him off the couch.
"OW!" he screamed as he rubbed his head, which he had banged on the coffee table. "What in the name of God was that for?" he asked irritably.
"You drugged me!" Clara shrieked.
"I did no such thing!" he retorted. "Why in the world would you think I drugged you?"
"Why else would I fall asleep on your shoulder?" Clara asked apprehensively.
Taku furrowed his brow and then scowled. "This is what that's all about? YOU FALLING ASLEEP ON MY SHOULDER? I don't know why…maybe you were TIRED ever think about THAT?"
"I wouldn't dream of falling asleep on YOUR shoulder, you creepy, unfunny disgrace to the human race," Clara responded angrily.
"This is the most pointless fight ever," Taku started, the only one of the two of them with the gall to stop it. "Just, quit it, Clara." With that, Taku jumped over the back of the couch and sauntered out of the room with his hands stuffed in the pockets of his jeans.
"What the hell is his problem?" Clara asked angrily. "I'm going to bed. Don't disturb me." Clara strode around the couch and out the door, the same way Taku had moments before.
Sara stirred, along with Kyle. They both glanced at each other, then up at the two before them. "What'd we miss?" Sara asked groggily.
Neither teenager responded, merely staring at the door.
TT2"You'd think they'd want to learn to get along," Sara mumbled to herself, after just talking to her sister about the day before. It may seem like Sara and Clara don't get along, but that was exactly the opposite. Neither approved of most aspects in the other's lifestyles, but they still had a deep bond that went even deeper then what most twins had. They shared their lives, their feelings, their spells, their magic, and anything else you could think of.
"Exactly what I was thinking," a voice said as she floated towards the edge, her eyes glowing white.
"Oh, hi Kyle," Sara stated airily, sitting down and letting her eyes returned to normal. He was clothed in a pair of cargoes and a baggy black shirt, topped with a pair of very dark sunglasses. "It's barely even sunny. Why are you wearing sunglasses? Why do you always wear those sunglasses?"
"Protect my identity," he told her, watching her with a small smile as she pulled her knees up to her chest.
"But it's just me here," she stated with a cocked head.
"Old habits die hard. When I was living with Bruce, I would wear them all day, everyday, except when in the shower or sleeping.
"I don't understand, though. Surely I'd be able to recognize you, even if I didn't know what your eyes looked like," Sara supposed. She leaned over and brought up her hands to the sides of the lenses, and easily slipped them off with two fingers of each hand. "Better," she whispered.
Kyle blushed a soft hue of pink, before looking away. "Sorry. I'm not used to…well, you know."
"I can tell," Sara said with a half-smile, cocking her head to try and look him in the eye. "Kyle, look at me," she ordered of him.
Timidly, he turned his head to look at her, somewhere between a nervous and a shy smile on his face. His turquoise eyes were shining softly in the semi-sunlight of the mid-day afternoon.
"I like your eyes. They're very handsome," she told him, feeling her cheeks grow hot.
"Thanks," he mumbled in response, pulling his sunglasses back on and looking away.
And they sat in silence for the rest of the afternoon.
