It's Not What "Just Friends" Do (RobRae ~Teen Titans)

Holy Wrap

     This intro was written weeks ago: Hi guys! Sorry for not uploading :( I hope you guys didn't lose interest within this hiatus. I am not failing math anymore! In fact... I've been very productive lately. I just reorganized my room. All I have left to do is clean out my art desk, and put away my pajamas (or as I call them: my comfys). At the beginning of June, I was swimming every day and ignoring social distancing rules. I just hung out with one of my best friends who I haven't seen since March 12th. We went swimming, then went up to my room and ate snacks while watching Teen Titans. She is my only friend who likes to talk about Teen Titans with me. I'm actually starting to feel happy again since school ends in a week :D    I might start uploading every two-three days because I didn't realize how exhausting writing could be. 

    They were all at combat practice, and afterward, the titans were planning Robin's birthday. Raven knew that she had to make this an absolutely perfect birthday for Robin, so she planned the best. Wally is going to zoom to the store to buy decorations and quickly drop them off at the tower. Beastboy is going to take him out to eat and say that the others didn't wanna come. While they are out, the titans are going to set up the decorations. Cyborg is going to bake the cake, Starfire is going to set up the pinata. Raven is going to put up streamers, and Jinx is going to blow up balloons. 

    "Are you sure this is going to work?" Beastboy said. "It has to." Raven had stated. "But if it doesn't?" he asked. "It will BB, have some faith in Rae. It wasn't hard for Robin, so we can do it too." Cyborg said with a reassuring smile.

                ~at the restaurant~

     "Hey, do you know what today is?" Robin said with a smirk. "The day that the tofu calzone is on sale?" BB said, licking his chops. "Yeah... sure," Robin replied, a bit hurt, letting a slight frown rest upon his face. Beastboy obviously ordered the tofu calzone, and Robin had lobster bisque. Beastboy wasn't allowed to take Robin home until he got a text from Raven saying they were ready.

                   ~at the tower~

    They invited the other titan's teams. Bee had decided to be DJ for half an hour, then Speedy would take over for a full hour, Hotspot is taking over for an hour, Kole would be DJ for half an hour, and Argent would work for another hour. If the party went longer, they would rotate. A bunch of Robin's favorite songs was put on a playlist, along with some other party favorites of the 2000s. Titans slowly started to gather into the T shaped building. Cyborg had just finished his famous eight layered cake, with threeeeee kindssss of frosting.

    Everything was going according to plan. Just as she was about to text Beastboy, she remembered something very essential. "The presents!" she screamed. She ran down to the basement to get them. Thank God all of the Slade dust was cleaned up or else she might go into some kind of psychopathic combat coma just like Robin did. She still was very careful and brought all of the presents upstairs and groaned at the thought of wrapping all of them. "Jesus Christ. Why in the name of Azarath did we buy so many presents? I didn't even get a present for my birthday..." she pouted. 

   She pulled out rolls of wrapping paper and decided which paper she was going to use and grabbed her clear roll of tape and stretched the tape away from the roll and ripped it off by cutting it on the sharp edge. She was positioning the paper the way it was perfect and slowly started putting the tape on when she heard a crash! She ran downstairs to see what the noise was and saw Speedy standing with his hand out empty in front of him with shattered glass on the ground. He dropped the glass punch bowl. The only punch bowl they had. Raven groaned yet again facepalming at the irresponsibility of Speedy. 

    "Don't worry. I'll go get a new one!" Wally said. "Ooooh! I wanna go!" Jinx yelled running over, front flipping onto his back. 

                        ~at the store~

     They zoomed off to the store to pick up the new punch bowl, also passing a bunch of comics Wally wanted, only to be dragged away by Jinx. They found a nice glass bowl for the decent price of $13.94 (tax included). They had to wait in line at the checkout. Waiting requires lots of patients, which is something Wally doesn't have whatsoever. 

                          ~at the tower~

    Raven was wrapping the gifts one by one all looking like something out of a Christmas movie from Hallmark with Candace Cameron Bure. She levitated all of the presents downstairs and set them in the corner hidden. All of the food was crisply laid out onto the counter. Raven was starting to worry about what was taking Jinx and Wally so long at the store. at the moment a gust of wind blew her hair and cloak around once, then twice. "Okay, so they're back," Raven said making a mental checkmark.

   She thought about everything that was done to see if she was missing anything. Food? Check. Drinks? Check.  Presents? Check.  Pinata? Check. Decorations? Check. What was she missing she had thought to herself. "That's it!" she exclaimed causing everyone to stare at her in pure confusion. "I meant to say that in my head..." she said nervously making everyone go back to what they were doing. She ran to the closet to pull out some party games. She had thought to herself: Games? Check.

    Raven told BB he could bring Robin home. Everyone was dressed in party clothes. Strobe lights were hooked up but turned off. Presents were hidden and so were the guests. All lights were powered off as she got a reply back from BB saying they were almost there. In that moment of hiding, Raven thought to herself: "Why was she making this party such a big deal? Then it dawned upon her. #1 It's for a person she cares about more than anything... even waffles. #2 since she never celebrated her birthday or liked parties in general, now that Trigon is gone, she can finally enjoy herself without the anxiety about the future. She heard the door open and was ready to surprise the love of her life.
