On Christmas day, everybody was at the T-Tower, for a Christmas dinner.

B.B. walked through the T-Tower's door. A little late.

"Wow, I didn't think it would be that cold outside," He said. His whole body
shaking, and his ankles rattling against each other.

Starfire giggled politely,"You look like a Guwafazar that just came back from ice
sledding!" She said through her giggles.

Terra jumped out of her chair,"You can sit here B.B., and wait there while I get you
a blanket and some heating pads." Terra insisted, as she ran over to the closet.

"AAAAAAHHHH-AAAAAAHHHHHH-CHOOOOOOOO!!!!" Came a sound form B.B."I can't feel my
nose," Beastboy replied through his sniffling, as he sat down onto the chair that
Terra had offered him.

Terra came out of the closet with two blankets and 8 heating pads."Here you go," she
said, wrapping one of the blankets in all the heating pads. Putting that on him, and
putting the other blanket over the first one.

Beastboy sneezed again and then smiled at Terra,"Thanks." He replied.

Cyborg came out of the kitchen, where he had been all along,"Hey B.B. guess what?!"
Cyborg asked with delight.

Beastboy sniffled once more and asked,"What?"

Cyborg smiled,"A veggie pie!"

Everybody in the room groaned, everybody except for B.B."Thanks Cy," He said, as he
took a sip of the soup Star had just made for him.

Robin glanced up at everybody for the first time, he had been fooling around with
something in his hands,"AHA! I finally finished it!"

Raven who had kept silent the whole time spoke up,"Finished what?"

Robin gleamed a smile as he lifted up his invention,"I light controller! Let me show
you how it works!" Robin ran over to the electrical outlet and plugged it in. "Now
if I just clap my hands...." he gleamed. Robin clapped his hands twice and all the
lights on their Christmas tree lit up.

Starfire started to clap her hands together loudly,"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Raven sighed,"Uhh...great......."

B.B. showed a small smile, feeling to weak to say anything-or smile harder.

Terra looked at all the lights,"Awesome Robin!"

Cy looked out the doorway from the kitchen,"ooooooo, cool!"

Robin gleamed at the Christmas tree, and walked back over to his spot on the couch
next to Starfire.

Cyborg called everybody into the dining room, because the food was all-ready.

Everybody gathered at the table. This is how the table setting looked:
 
            _Cy_
  Raven l      l Starfire
   Terra l      l Robin
           -------
            B.B.
   

But no matter where they sat, how different they looked. How different they acted.
And how much they acted like total opposites sometimes, they were still one big
family.

Cyborg grinned with delight,"Dig In!"

                                   THE END
