And the Winners are...

It takes a half hour for someone to make it to the end of their track.

"Yay for Blackfire and Raven!" Flashfire cheers.

"And in humor of all things," Robin says. "I was really surprised, Raven."

"Thanks," she replies. "But Blackfire got the better jokes."

"Oh, stop," Blackfire says back. "I still think that joke you drew about males and government bonds was the best."

"How did that one go again?" Cyborg asks.

"'How are males different from government bonds?'," Raven starts.

"Government bonds mature over time," Blackfire finishes.

Everyone laughs again, and you help put the game away.

"Alright," Blackfire says, getting up, "I think that since Raven and I won, we decide what to do next."

"I agree," Raven says, also getting up.

"So, then," you ask, "what do you two want to do?"

Blackfire and Raven walk over to the movie collection. The two of them look around for one they both like. They whisper to each other about their decision.

"We're going to watch..." Blackfire says as she pulls out a box from the shelf in front of them.

"This one!" they say together. The cover on the box has a picture of two people--a male and a female--holding each other close and looking into each other's eyes as the sun sets.

"A romance movie?" Beastboy says questioningly.

"Yeah," Robin says, "we never thought of you as one who'd watch something like that."

"I like romance," Raven says as she blushes. "And I've seen our horror movies enough times anyway."

Everyone sits down, with the winners Blackfire and Raven on either side of you. Your sister sits with Robin and Starfire on Blackfire's right, with Cyborg and Beastboy to your left.

The movie starts, and you stay quiet as the girls are practically hypnotized by it.
