A/N: Okay, admittedly there's not a lot to fix, but I wanted to cover this because it'll serve as a reminder of where we are in the story for the Titans.


Well, it was that time of year again. Time for Garfield Logan's 19th birthday. Cyborg was hanging the banner, Nightwing was shooting up the ribbons, Starfire was blowing the balloons, Raven was making the cake, and Jinx was out doing last minute shopping since she forgot about his birthday. Beast jumped in, cheering his birthday as he jumped around his friends.

"Whoohoo! It's my Birthday! It's my B-Day! Yo, my bee day! It's a me-day! Whaaaaaa, yeah!"

"Beast, I'm trying to hang these decorations."

"Yeah, you hangs them, dude. You hangs them for me real good! Whoo!"

"Chill dude! Sheesh!" Cyborg groaned with an eye roll, sitting on the couch.

"I can'ts, because it's my Birthday. Birthday!" He ran to the kitchen, only to get shoved out by a black soul-self hand.

"Don't interrupt me." She warned before closing the door.

"Can't wait for that cake, mama!" Garfield called happily through the door. "Now where's that piñata at?"

"The cardboard animal for the beating is right the here." Starfire held up the colorful donkey.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm, that's what I thought. I can't wait to bust open them candy guts, yo! Hahaha, birthdays are the best!" Starfire looked slightly saddened.

"I would not know. For I do not have the birthday of my own."

"What?! Come on, everyone has a birthday!"

"It is true that I was birthed, and on a day, yes, but you see, but I am currently unaware of what day my birthday is on your earthen calendar."

"How is that possible?"

"You see, the full revolution of the Earth around the sun is 365.265 days according to Aunt Gregorian's calendar. Tamaran, meanwhile, has both the different rates of spinning, and orbiting the sun, what you call Vega. We have many more days and months in our calendar, and on one of those days is when I was born. Alas, I am unaware of where my birthday falls upon yours because of this. And so, each year, I must watch as others are celebrated while I stand alone, not having celebrated mine for up to five Earth years."

"My gosh. I... I had no idea, Star." Richard went over to comfort his sad, unintentionally ignored girlfriend. "I'm so sorry. I wish I had known."

"That's... that's so sad, Star." Beast sniffed, while Starfire teared up.

"It is the saddest."

"My heart is breaking, dude!"

"I shall never experience the sweet embrace of an earthen birthday party!" The two emotional titans cried in each other's arms, while Jinx came in, shocked at seeing the two crying.

"Whoa, what did I miss?"

"Starfire doesn't know what her birthday here on Earth would be." Cyborg told her. "So she has not celebrated it for up to five years now." Jinx hissed and winced.

"Dang, girl. That stinks."

"Yeah, it ain't right, yo! You know what, Star, you can share my birthday!" Beast proclaimed, making Starfire gasp.

"For the reals?!"

"For the real reals, girl!"

"Are you sure, Beast?" Nightwing asked. "This is a bit short notice."

"What yo mean? My B-day is big enough for the both of us."

"You're going to have to share your cake presents and piñata smashing." Cyborg pointed out.

"It's all good, dudes and dudettes. I'll make sure Starfire has the best birthday ever!"

"Joy! My first birthday!"

"That's right, girl!" She and Beast then harmonized. "B-B-B-B-Birthday, birthday!"

"Then let's get this birthday crazy on!" Jinx sounded the party horns as they went into the kitchen, where Raven finished the cake.

"I heard the whole thing. You're being very generous sharing your birthday with Starfire, Garfield." Raven had a pleased smile on her face.

"Thanks mama!" Nightwing lit the candles, while Beast asked the Tamaranean princess, "So, Starry-Starry-Starry..." He bopped her nose, making her giggle. "...You ready to blow out them candles?"

"Oh my, I will extinguish the flames as my ancestors extinguished the bloodlines of their enemies!"

"That's what's up! Hit it!"

"And a 1, 2, 3, 4!" Each of the Titans then sang the birthday song, while Cyborg would give out the occasional whoo. "Happy birthday to you! Whoo! Happy birthday to you! Whoo! Happy birthday dear Garfield and Starfire! Happy birthday to you! Whoo! And many more!" Cyborg finalized.

"Classic!" Beast chuckled before he and the warrior princess blew out the candles. Starfire grabbed the knife, carved out a piece to give to Beast... before swallowing the other 90% of the cake whole, making everyone gasp.

"Girl, you were supposed to share that with everyone!" Beast complained.

"Oh, my apologies. I have not eaten the breakfast, so my nine stomachs were the famished."

"Don't worry Star." Raven shrugged. "It was a gluten free, vegan cake. We weren't going to enjoy it as much as a regular cake anyway."

"I see. It was still the delicious though."

"Anyway, time for presents." Jinx said after Beast ate his one slice. They went to the living room, where there were five presents. "Uh oh."

"Oh yeah. We all only got Beast presents."

"Um... I guess I can share?" Garfield sounded hesitant. "Sharing can be fun."

"Thank you, Beast." Starfire expressed her gratitude as they picked four of the five presents, two to each. Beast went first as he ripped open the first present, and found a block of preserved tofu.

"Tofu! Alright, thanks Nightwing!"

"You're welcome. I know how much you like those disgusting wet blocks of protein." Starfire went next as she found a portrait drawing of Beast and Cyborg in it, captioned "I love you bro!"

"Oh, the lovely drawing!"

"Oh yeah, I drew it for Beastie, but I guess it still works." Cyborg felt a bit awkward.

"It... really captures the essence of a 5 year best-friendship." Garfield was saddened he didn't get the portrait. "I just hope my next present will be better. From the looks of it, it looks like a kickball." He opened it, finding this time, a round sphere of tofu, which morphed back into a block.

"Oh, I did not realize that Nightwing and I got you the same present!" Starfire giggled. "My apologies. Now, this one says, From Raven." The pale sorcereress blushed. "Oh, two of the movie tickets!"

"Oh. Gar and I were going to go see that new Nebula Battle movie, Rogue Solo." Raven mentioned.

"Wait, you means like a movie date?!" Beast asked in surprise. He looked really bummed out, feeling jealous that the two girls would go instead of him and his girl. "Man, sharing a birthday is hard." He grumbled to himself. Starfire noticed this, and sighed.

"I think it would be fun if we went, Friend Raven, but I believe you and Beast should go, since you two are in the relationship."

"Aw snap, tickets! Yes!" He snatched them away, but noticed that now she was feeling glum. "You okay, Star?"

"Oh, do not the mind me. I just feel like that I am being the obsolete wheel of this birthday. It should be more about you, after all." Jinx, in an annoyed mood, elbowed Beast to get his attention, turning him away from Starfire.

"Gar, stop being a hissy baby and just let Star have her fun. This was your idea, Booger Brain."

"I didn't think it would be so hard." He whispered back.

"I don't care, just do it! And I suggest you apologize." The metahuman pushed him towards Starfire, to which Beast sighed.

"Starfire, I'm sorry if I'm being selfish. I'm trying not to, it's just I never had to share a birthday before. It's harder than it seems."

"It is the okay. I just merely wished to celebrate the birthday fun times with you. I would've given the presents I had back to you anyway, since they were intended for you. And I would've properly shared the cake if it was larger."

"It's cool. We can always just get another one. You know yo my friend, right?"

"The always." The two hugged. Their friends were touched from the display of friendship, with Cyborg struggling to cry, and blowing into a paper napkin.

"That's better." Jinx nodded with approval. "Now come on, open my gift. It think it's something you'll both enjoy."

"Let's tear into it together Star." Beast offered.

"I would be the delighted to see Jinx's gift together!" The Tamaranean cheered as she and Garfield both tore the paper off the last present, finding a video game called "Legends of the League". Beast gasped.

"Aw Yeah! A sci-fi fantasy version of playing as the Justice League! Thanks Jinx!"

"You're welcome. Now it's time for the piñata!" The former villainess threw piñata confetti out of her sleeves to initiate the final segment of this party.

"Whoo! I really wants to hit the piñata!" Beast ran outside with Starfire flying behind.

"I too wish to see the candy guts!" Once the rest came outside, Nightwing hoisted the piñata up into the air.

"Okay, here we go!"

"Take turns you two." Cyborg suggested. Beast gave Starfire the stick.

"Here Star. I'll let you have the first whack."

"Thank you, Beast." She nodded with a smile. "Prepare to die, piñata!" Using all her focus and strength, the warrior princess used her speed to make an instantaneous strike like the traditional samurai, before pretending to sheathe the stick. Everyone wondered what happened, when the body of the piñata cleanly fell off, letting the candy spill out. But then, a few seconds later, the tree that Nightwing was using to hold the piñata up fell over and crashed to the ground, inadvertently being in the way of her strike. Everyone was flabbergasted.

"What... how?!" Jinx gripped her hair. "That isn't even a bladed weapon, let alone a sword!"

"You forget the time she kicked a football into the stratosphere." Nightwing pointed out. "Starfire is just crazy strong." Starfire giggled at his compliment.

"Star, remind me to never arm wrestle with you." The metahuman requested. The alien girl giggled again as she nodded in agreement.

"Fair enough."

"Enough about that, time for candy!" Beast reminded everyone as he dived into the pile, with everyone following suite with glee.

"The happy birthday, Garfield." Starfire told her friend.

"Happy birthday, Starfire." The two friends hugged.
