A/N: In our school's anime club, one of the moderators challenged me to write a drabble a day for the days up to Christmas. I have written all of them for up to now, and I am only going to post a few because not all are allowed on this site. XD Yeah, my bad. There are a variety of different fandoms, and this one just happened to be Teen Titans, because really--we all saw it coming. Anyway, enjoy the short random crack drabble, and pardon the OOCness, especially on Starfire's part.

Lights
by Mint Pizza Queen
Cyborg adjusted the final strand of lights before grabbing the plug-in and connected them to the extension cord. With a breath of relief and accomplishment, he stood up with the cord in his hands and turned to the rest of the team with a smile on his face. "All right, y'all, it's finally done!"
"All right, Cyborg!" Robin cheered out, crossing his arms with a smile on his face. "Nice work."
"Be prepared to be astounded, amazed, and awed by the spectacular beauty of Titans Tower lit up with over 542,389 strands of lights! Coming up to a grand total of 81,358,350 light bulbs! Not including night lights, and other lights in appliances of course. Or the indoor lights."
Beast Boy and Raven exchanged looks before the changeling asked the imminent question. "Um...how many lights do you have on the inside?"
Cyborg smirked. "92,837 strands. And don't worry, there aren't any in your room Rae. Or at least I didn't put any in there."
Raven shrugged. "Doesn't matter. Beast Boy hung up a strand of black lights anyway in there." She eyed the green teen who merely grinned with an overenthusiastic sense of accomplishment.
"Anyway," Cyborg twirled the cord in his hand. "This is the moment you've all been waiting for! The awesome, the spectacular, the amazing: Titans Tower: Lit Up!"
Starfire bounced in place clapping her hands. "Oh! Please friend Cyborg, please reveal your show!"
The robotic teen smirked before twirling the cord one last time and quickly plugged the extension cord in.
There was a loud buzzing, the lights flashing once--twice--and voila!
The Tower was brightly lit on every inch with reds, blues, greens, yellows, oranges, purples, golds, silvers, and a variety of other colors. Some spots had the flasher lights while others had the twinkling ones. Some were flashing in a cascade effect while others merely popped their colors at random.
The small crowd below ooed and awed in unison.
Suddenly, the lights went out. A loud pop resounded from the ground below, and a black smoke began to seep out of the ground.
Cyborg screeched before heading to the underground circuit breaker.
The four stood blinking, and finally Starfire broke the silence. "I believe the term he was looking for was 'OH SHIT!'."
Beast Boy cackled and Robin spazzed. Raven merely patted Starfire on the head before heading back into the Tower for her evening bath.
