disclaimer: i do not own the titans or anything that has to do with them so yeah..... u get the point

Chapter 1

The light snowflakes began to fall on the quiet streets of Jump City as a slender figure sat atop a giant T gazing up searching for her home planet. Her auburn hair was being whipped around in the icy wind of winter. She was in her normal uniform, a purple mini skirt with a purple halter top. The medal of her neck brace was starting to freeze, along with her arm band. It was that time of year again, she had learned that in this months called 'December' it was time of joy and spending it with your family. But as she sat atop the roof and looked up into the night sky, she yearned for her family on a far away planet. Yes the other Titans were family, but not by blood. She wanted so badly to visit her family on this holiday. Ever time she asked her fierce leader he would just tell her crime didn't take a holiday and neither should she. That was also the year she learned what a 'Scrooge' was. She remembered how that day she had to hide behind her façade of false happiness. She could feel a warm tear slide down her face. She had been standing on the roof for hours wishing she could go back to her home planet for just a couple of days, but she knew she would never have that luxury. Her leader became cold hearted and thick headed when ever this holiday came around, she had always tried to ask him what was wrong but he would always slam the door in her face. She heaved a heavy sigh, she knew she should probably head back inside the tower before she froze from the cold.

BEEP BEEP! came her communicator. She flipped it open to see the smiling face of her half robot half human friend.

"Yes friend Cyborg?" She said this with fake cheerfulness. She longed to just fly from this tower and fly to her planet, the planet that honored everything she wanted or did.

"Come on Starfire! Its time to put the angel on top… Its your turn this year!" He gave her a warm smile.

She giggle, "Yes friend I am on my way…" she closed her communicator with a long low sigh. She took on last look up toward the darkening sky, she wiped at her emerald eyes to get rid of the tears that were starting to freeze to her cheeks.

Maybe friend Robin will let me go this year… I shall try just one last time… The alien princess let out another sigh before she floated into the tower to go help with the decorations. Maybe just maybe Robin will have a change of heart she thought again before she shook off the thought disappeared into the giant T.

T.T

The boy wonder was hiding in his room trying to hide from all the other titans. He hated Christmas, he hated all the cheeriness, he hated how your suppose to spend it with family. Yeah he thought of the Titans as family but not the family he wanted, he wanted his parents and he never let him self or the others have a happy Christmas. He longed for the family that left him, the family that died right in front of him. He didn't know about everyone else's family, he knew that every year the others tried to lift his spirits. Last year he caught Raven and Beast boy under the mistletoe that was the only bright thing about his Christmas last year, out any of the years. He looked at the clock it was 7:52 pm, everyone was probably sitting around the Christmas tree watching whose ever turn it was to put the topper on. The tree topper reminded him of Starfire. The angels hair was as silky and beautifully red as her's, it had the same porcelain skin as Star. Starfire was an angel, an angel from another planet that landed on this earth just for him. But he was to afraid to let her go that he never let her in.

Beep beep….the sound of his communicator made him jump. He grabbed the communicator and flipped it open. He saw a bulletin saying that Cinderblock had escaped from prison… again. He raced from his room.

"TITANS TROUBLE!" Shouted Robin he was standing in the door way to the living room. Everyone turned to look at him.

"Dude its Christmas eve can't we just let someone else do it instead of us please!" pleaded the green changeling, Robin shot him a glare.

"No we're super hero's! we don't take a holiday because neither does crime!" He hollered, he really did hate the holidays.

Starfire gave Robin one of her pouty faces before she floated over to stand right in front of her, "Friend Robin can we please have a day of the vacation of the holidays?" she inquired.

Robin tore his glare from Beast boy to look at the beautiful alien speaking to him in a firm voice he said, "No Starfire we can't I explained this last year and every other year that if crime doesn't take a holiday neither do we." he hadn't meant for it to come out as harsh as it did, but he didn't care right at that moment. For some reason he was feeling really scroogy to day ((great description RIGHT!)).

"Friend Robin will you please let us take just this one night off… maybe I can just fly to Tameran t-tonight and wish what is left of my f-family a holiday of h-h-happiness." Robin didn't hear the last part, all heard was:

"Friend Robin I have planned to leave the Titans and you for my own happiness… Goobye…" His gaze became stony and filled with anger.

"NO! I will not allow you to leave me or the Titans for your own selfish needs!" He snarled at her

"B-but friend Robin I really wish to visit my parents gr…" Robin cut her off.

"I don't want to hear any EXCUSES! Now all of you get ready were leaving NOW!" He shouted

"No… Robin I am leaving I will not stay here without your cheeriness! You are being a Klorgbag! I must see them one last time it may be my last!" She hadn't meant to shout but he was being thick headed. She had been sent a message just a few days ago that her parents had been stricken ill, an enemy army had poisoned them. They had less than the rest of the month to live, she had to see them before she couldn't anymore. She could feel a hot sensation rise behind her eyes, she fought to control her tears she didn't want to cry at that moment. Robin was taken back by what Starfire had just said, but then anger took over. He was filled with the sensation to break something, but nothing was in reach except… except what Starfire was holding. With blind anger Robin ripped the object from a surprised Starfire, and threw the thing across them room with a shattering sound following its not so soft landing. Something rolled and hit his foot he looked down and to his surprised he saw the decapitated head of the tree topper he had just thrown across the room. He bent to pick the head up and just stared at it until he heard soft whimpers coming from the real angel standing in front of him. He was stricken with grief that he had just ripped the wings right off of her. Before he could hear anything from any of the other titans he took off down the hallway away from all the holiday cheer. They heard the swish of there normally just sulky leaders door swing shut!

"I guess we should get ready for battle," Cyborg heaved a heavy sigh as he stood to go get the T-car ready.

"I think I should meditate before we leave on this happy little note," came the monotone voice of the gothic empath. She then processed to melt through the ceiling and into her room.

"Sorry I heard the transmition between you and Galfore the other day…" Starfire lifted her head to see that the green changeling was the only one left.

"I am sorry that you heard Friend beast boy… But I am sorry I must leave and see my parents once more…" She felt the tears begin to roll down her already tear stained faced.

"Its ok star… I know how it feels to lose your parents thats why I joined the Doom Patrol… before I was kicked off…" He gave her a slight sadistic grin, before he walked over to were she stood in the door way. He gave her a heart filled hug, before jogging down the hall toward his room and leaving a depressed alien behind.
