After Party

You grab two plates, and take two slices out of the top.

"Here, Blackfire," you say, handing her one plate. "And here, my new sister, Starfire." You hand her the other one.

"Thank you, brother!" she says, smiling.

"Alright," Flashfire says, squeezing between her two new sister, "PARTY TIME!!"

The Titans and your new mother and father cheer and shout, and slice up the cake! (Except for Raven, who shyly sits at the end of the table, sipping on the grape-apple wine)

You, Robin, your new wife Blackfire, and your sisters sit together on the Titan's couch, eating cake and drinking grape-apple wine. Blackfire sits on your right, with Flashfire, Starfire, and Robin sitting in that order to her right.

"So, does this mean you won't be commiting crimes?" Starfire asks.

"Well, honestly," you say, "the only real 'crimes' we've done have been fighting Val-Yor, and--"

"You guys fought Val-Yor?" Robin asks.

"Yeah, that racist worm," you grumble. You tell Robin and Starfire about the times that you ran in to him, including the recent one on Planet Mauve.

"He tried to take advantage of the Rojolan girls?" Stafire asks. "And I thought he couldn't go lower."

"So, this second time involved who again?" Beastboy asks, now joining you.

"The Sinful Ones," Blackfire answers. "Or TS1, for short."

You spend a few more minutes telling the stories of those encounters, the Titans enthralled by every word.

"A girl who's part fox, huh?" Beastboy says. "Sounds like she must've been a real foxy lady."

"That was also her name," you say. "But she's got a guy."

"Who? A wolf guy?"

"No, a rabbit guy. And no, he isn't jumpy."

Beastboy laughs, and says "Good one!"

"So, where are you two going to live?" Starfire asks.
