November 4th

The interior of the tailor shop was large with polished wood flooring. Fabrics of different shades and hues lined two of the walls. Two brown leather couches occupied the wall closest to one of the store windows. A small wooden table sat in front of the couches with numerous books and a few knick knacks. And several short wooden stools were scattered around the room.

They had been there for nearly an hour. A black haired woman was currently fitting Robin in a shimmering red cloak. The boy wonder stood on one of the little stools and let the woman take his measurements. Starfire hovered near Cyborg with her bright green eyes pleading with him. Hazel and Ivy curiously wondered around, taking their time to look at everything the shop had to offer. Beast boy's purple cloak was draped on the arm of the couch and he intently stared at the screen of his handheld device; Bloodscape.

"Can't you go a few days without video games?" Raven questioned the man beside her.

His fingers jammed down on the white buttons, "Only if you can go without reading." He said without looking up.

"Touché," Raven leaned her head on his tall shoulder and watched him play the gory game.

Starfire was nearly jumping at Cyborg, trying to snatch his communicator. "I wish to speak to Bumblebee and tell her of Azarath."

Cyborg groaned trying to push the red haired woman out of the way. But it was too late; Starfire had grabbed the communicator by holding down Cyborg's arm. The half robot gave up easily and went to sit on the other side of Beast boy. Raven watched as Beast boy tried to survive with his last life on the game. Robin stepped down from the stool as he was finished causing Starfire to hang up on Bumblebee.

"Auntie Star," Ivy said touching the fabrics on the racks. "Did a water melon really grow in your tummy?" She looked over at the tamaranian with a serious expression on her face.

Hazel looked up from the stool she sat on, "I don't think the baby likes it in there."

"Whoa, dude." Beast boy had pulled his eyes away from the screen at their comments.

All five titans were staring at the two girls now. Robin looked as if he were going to pass out. Cyborg's mouth hung ajar and Raven's eyes widened in the slightest. The room fell into complete silence; both girls oblivious.

Starfire looked confused, "But I do not recall such events ever occurring." She raised both her arms as the woman measured her.

Ivy turned around to face Robin, "Ryand'r told me so. That Auntie Star eated a watermelon seed and her tummy is so big."

"Why did the baby go?" Hazel further questioned Starfire.

Robin's face flushed red and he stumbled over to sit on the leather couch. His eyes fluttered closed behind his mask and he worked to control his breathing. Where did that come from? Raven thought, her eyes shifting to each of her girls.

"Who's Ryand'r?" Beast boy asked the question everyone wanted to know. He finally switched off his hand held device.

Hazel looked down at her Velcro shoes, "My cousin." She simply replied.

That did it, Starfire squealed in delight as she finally understood and Robin passed out. So they did remember something, Raven mused. Cyborg sat up straighter and closed his mouth.
