Unlocking Holiday Spirit
By Purple Wolf Girl
Summary: With Christmas just around the corner the Titans are gearing up for some festive fun! All except for Raven that is. Can Beast Boy help to unlock Raven’s holiday spirit? Rae X BB. Slightly Rob X Star.
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, or Batman or anything to do with him, and I don't own these Christmas songs ('cept the one about Raven and Star sneezing...I made that up : ). But I do own this story! hehe... smile
------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was twelve days until Christmas. Starfire's first Christmas to be exact. Everyone in Jump City was jumping for joy...well, except Raven anyway. But Titan's Tower was decorated from the roof to the ground, from the ceiling to the floor, etcetera. One of the titans was taking advantage of the holiday by placing mistletoe in every corner of the tower, expecting a kiss eventually...
"Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how woody are your branches!" a certain joker sang horribly off key.
"It’s how lovely are your branches. Not how woody," a dark girl corrected.
"Okay. How lovely are your branches!"
"Better. Lyric wise anyway."
"Ok, Raven. Lets hear you sing!"
"You've got to be kidding,"
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"Maybe."
Beast boy shrugged and continued singing. "Jingle bells! Meat really smells! Tofu wins the game! Star and Raven sneezed! Cy cut the cheeze! And Robin ran away! HEY!"
Raven rolled her eyes. "How very original. Once again you've proved me wrong about your intelligence." she said sarcastically.
"Really?"
"No."
Starfire entered the room with Robin following behind.
"Hello, Friends!" Starfire chimed. "I wish to participate in the Christ of Mas this year! Do you wish to join me in this festivity?"
"Duh! I'm all for the gifts!" Beast Boy cackled, rubbing his hands together greedily.
"I'm not all that materialistic." Raven stated simply.
Starfire scratched her head. "Please, what is 'materialistic'?"
"It means that you don't really want material things." Robin explained.
"I still do not understand."
Everyone groaned.
Later . . .
Robin had one foot out the door when Starfire stepped in front of him.
"Hello, friend Robin. May I inquire where you are venturing to?"
Robin smiled. "Of course. I'm going to get a Christmas tree. Wanna come and help me pick it out?"
"YES! I shall retrieve my jacket and gloves and then we may be on our way!" she exclaimed as she ran off quickly to put her winter outfit.
As quickly as she disappeared, she repapered with a giant smile planted on her lips. "Let us go!"
At theTree Shop . . .
Starfire zoomed around every tree and stopped at random to examine it for a few seconds, then would fly off again.
"Robin," she began excitedly. "This is glorious! I have never before seen so ever many trees in one location!"
"Well, that’s ...um...good to know." Robin added sounding slightly confused.
"I believe so too! May we get this one! And this tree! No this also! Never the mind. LET US PURCHASE THEM ALL!" Starfire announced unreasonably.
A record scratching sound came on suddenly as Robin made a face. "Uh, Star, I only have twenty-five dollars,"
Starfire flew over to him and leaned as far into his face as she could, almost knocking him over. "That is fine! We may afford many trees of Christmas with this money you speak of!"
"Actually, we can only afford one."
Starfire frowned.
"But we can get a big one if you want." Robin suggested. "Just as long as if it’s not over my budget."
Starfire's smile formed. "WONDERFUL! May I choose the tree?"
"Yeah. Go ahead,"
Once again, Star flew away for a few minutes. When she returned she had a rather large tree in her arms.
"I have chosen the perfect tree of the Christ of Mas, Robin!"
Robin looked at the price tag. "And it’s exactly how much money I have. Great job, Star!"
She blushed. "Do you wish for me to take the tree to the cash of registers?"
"That might help..."
"As you wish!"
Back at the tower . . .
Beast boy and Cyborg dug the tree decorations out of boxes. They'd already found at least enough decorations to cover two trees by now, but the boxes kept coming. Raven peered over her book every now and then to say, "Your just wasting time." or "This holiday is pointless. Why are we celebrating it again?"
Beast boy glared at her. "You’re just too stubborn to admit you like Christmas!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just adore Christmas."
"Really?"
"No."
Cyborg walked into the room with three boxes in his hands. "Come on, BB. Do you really believe it when she says stuff like that?"
Beast boy raised an eyebrow. "There’s always a chance."
"Yeah right." Raven muttered.
Cyborg placed the boxes down. "Well, that’s all of them. When the love birds get home we should decorate the tree."
"WHAAAAAAAA WHOOOOOOOOO!" Beast boy screamed happily, jumping up and down repeatedly.
Raven eyes followed him. The movement gave her a headache. And without thinking she thrust her book at him.
"OWWWWWW!" he cried. "Raven!"
Raven shrugged innocently. "You gave me no other choice."
"Thanks, Rae. I was getting motion sickness just watching the little grass stain," Cyborg complained.
"I was having fuuuuuun!" Beast boy wailed.
"We also had the fuuuuuuuuun you were enjoying!" Strarfire's voice echoed.
"Look at the tree Star picked out, guys. We'll be able to put a lot of decorations on this one," Robin added as he and Starfire walked into the room. Star lugged the tree behind her.
"Sweet!"
"Nice work!"
"Whatever."
Starfire beamed. "I appreciate your compliments, friends! But, may we now decorate the tree of Christ and Mas?"
"Duh! I've been waiting like all day!"
A little later . . .
The tree was half decorated. It was split into five sections; Starfire, Robin, Beast boy, Raven, and Cyborg all decorated different areas. Raven, whom had been forced into decorating, now seemed rather pleased with helping the others. She reached into the box but didn't grab a decoration.
What did she grasp?
Beast boy's hand.
They both looked into the box and then stared awkwardly at each others blushing faces. Raven flung her hand away from his.
"Well, that was awkward." she remarked flatly.
Beast boy smiled at her sheepishly. But then his regular 'make fun of Raven' attitude came back online.
"AHHHH! Raven germs!" he teased holding his hand as far way from his face as he could.
Raven shot him nasty glare. "You are so immature."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too."
"AM NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTT!"
"Raven, Beast boy! Break it up!" Robin ordered firmly, pushing them apart. "Just look at Starfire!"
Starfire was on the verge of tears. "I thought that the Christ of Mas was a festivity where people were supposed to be joyous and get along." she squeaked faintly.
"It is." Robin mumbled.
"Come on, ya'll, if we just finish the tree and rest or something, then I'm sure we'll all be in better moods. Let’s try to make this a Merry Christmas, alright?" Cyborg suggested in an effort to make Starfire feel better. "Now who wants Santa hats?"
The titans gave him curious looks. But Beast boy grabbed one anyway.
"You've got to be kidding." Raven hissed.
"It'll go better with your outfit than some cape. Besides, you need to add some color to your wardrobe, Raven." Beast boy smirked.
"You annoy me." Raven snarled. "You really do."
Beast boy took a bow and lowered his Santa hat. "Thank you,"
"Weirdo." Raven groaned, turning away. "When is this tree going to be finished?"
"I am quite sure it will be very soon if we make with the haste!" Starfire chimed, back to her normal self.
The Azarathain rolled her eyes. "Oh joy."
"Yes, it is quite joyful to be able to participate in this wonderful day of-"
"Okay, Starfire. We all know what it’s called. You've already reminded us about five to thirteen times." Raven said under her breath.
"I am...sorry?" Starfire apologized nervously.
"Nothing to be sorry about, Star." Robin assured her. "You’re just excited. I'm sure we were all pretty excited about our first Christmas...that we can remember anyway."
Later . . .
"Glorious, friends! The tree looks positively lovely!" Starfire announded happily.
"Right. Well, all I can say is that I hate the holidays." Raven stated.
"You hate everything, Raven!" Beast boy whined.
"True. Matter of fact, your on the top ten list. Number one is the color pink."
Cyborg frowned. "Lighten up, Raven. Get in the Christmas spirit,"
"Why should I? Its just another holiday where people spend every penny on hand to buy their friends and families material gifts that they'll grow tired of and throw out into some landfill eventually."
"Not true!" Beast boy argued. "I've never thrown out any Christmas presents!"
"Sure you haven't." Raven said dryly.
"I am sure."
"Whatever."
"Anyway, its twelve days until Christmas. So, let’s try to enjoy it, okay team?" Robin stopped the fight.
"Okay." Everyone agreed together.
"May we exchange the wishes of lists?" Starfire asked.
Everyone handed out pieces of paper to one another.
Beast boy looked at Raven's curiously. "This ones blank!"
Raven smirked. "Exactly."
"Um, Beast boy...why does part of your list say you want your two front teeth?" Robin asked.
"Get a sense of humor. It was just a joke...mostly..." Beast boy muttered.
"Alright, Ya'll!" Cyborg began. "Let the shopping begin! Well tomorrow anyway. Night, you guys."
"Good night."
With that the lights went out. Leaving only the moon light glistening on the snow to light anyone's way.
To be continued . . .
