Timeline: Between 5.07: Hide and Seek & 5.09: Revved Up


The main five Teen Titans team entered a medium-sized grocery store in the middle of nowhere.

"Remember," said Robin. "We're just here to pick up a few supplies before we get back on the move. No goofing off, Beast Boy."

"Hey, I'm not the only one who goofs off," said Beast Boy. "Why'd you have to single me out?"

"It's 'cause you're most likely to cause chaos," Cyborg pointed out.

"You encourage me!" Beast Boy yelled.

Cyborg chuckled. "'Cause it's too easy, Garfield. I used to wonder why you turn into a cat when you wanna look extra cute, but it makes sense now."

"Hey!"

Robin groaned. There'll always be something to argue over.


While the boys had their little squabble, the girls went down one of the food aisles.

"I am glad we have stopped here," said Starfire. "My mustard supply is dangerously low."

"Uh huh." Raven levitated a few bottles of mustard off a shelf and placed them in a basket. "There."

"Much thanks to you, Raven." Starfire suddenly froze in her tracks. "Wow, it is one of those name selection souvenir displays. How exciting!"

"That's a spice rack," Raven said dryly.

"No, look. Rosemary, Ginger, Dill, these are names!" The Tamaranean suddenly gasped so loudly the entire store could hear it. "Great X'Hal! I never thought I would see this! Look, Raven!"

Raven glanced over to where Starfire was pointing and saw a small bottle of ground coriander seeds.

"Um…"

Starfire quickly grabbed it. "They spelled my name a bit wrong but I do not mind."

"It's just a random spice bottle. The company doesn't know your name is Koriand'r."

"But it is a very auspicious spice bottle regardless. I shall treasure this Earthen item alongside my first mustard bottle, my Mumbo alarm clock, and all of the Christmas presents I have received."

Raven eventually just shrugged and accepted she wouldn't win this battle. "Alright."

"Although I am sad there is not one for you, friend."

Raven thought for a few seconds before smirking. "Perhaps not, but I think I know the perfect gift for Beast Boy."


"Aw yeah," said Beast Boy excitedly. "You're gonna love my tofu burgers!"

"I'm not gonna love it," Cyborg replied. "I'm never gonna love it."

"It might be a while before we go shopping again, so you'll have to eat it whether you like it or not," Robin noted.

Beast Boy flashed a smug little grin while Cyborg grumbled.

"Beast Boy!" Starfire suddenly appeared. "Raven says this comic magazine is a much fitting keepsake for you!"

Beast Boy turned around and saw none other than Garfield the cat chowing down on some meaty lasagna upon the magazine cover. "Oh, come on! Not you too, Rae!"

Raven didn't say anything. She just smiled and winked.


I distinctly remember the first time I encountered the word coriander after I became a Teen Titans fan and I was like "wait. hold on."
