Somewhere along the way, Beastboy had lost track of time on board Stacy but he had been shocked to realize what day it would have been back home. After a moment of disappointment a thought struck him and he rushed to the Sensoriums.

The world exploded in noise and sound as New York City appeared in front of him. Confetti and cheers, clowns and music, massive balloons and floats drifting through the buildings as millions of people were recreated by the Sensoriums to re-enact the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Of coarse being Beastboy's memories to fuel this scene the floats, musical number and so on were all from previous years, and some of the balloons and floats had a distinctly Beastboy theme to them.

Like the giant Green Turkey Float holding a sign that suggested trying Tofurkey.

And a Float of Titan's Tower with big headed mascot versions of the Titans waving at the crowd.

Even a massive Captain Carrot Balloon drifted through the air as Beastboy cheered and watched with a twinkle in his eyes. It was so real, the magic of the Sensoriums had brought him somewhere he'd only ever seen on T.V.

And if anyone were to wander in they'd be able to enjoy the show as well.

Comments

"I... guess?" Well, the guy seemed cheerful enough. Kind of all over the place, though. Between Beastboy's personality and the party in New York City, Tavros is starting to look a bit overwhelmed. "Oh, uh... sorry. I'm Tavros, Tavros Nitram."

"Nice to meetcha dude! You ever seen the a Thanksgiving Day Parade?" He asked oblivious to Tavros discomfort.

He'll get over it. He's just shy. Tavros shakes his head. "Not really, no. We don't have Thanksgiving on Alternia, so, uh, it stands to reason, that we wouldn't have a parade for it."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Alternia huh? Never heard of it." He smiled and watched some flag twirlers with interest, "I've never been to this particular parade I've just seen it on T.V and I thought it would be totally awesome!"

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Tavros shrugs. "Yeah... as I'm finding out, my home planet's apparently not as, uh, well-known, as I always thought."

Which makes sense. Alternia's not even in the same universe as Earth.

He nods at Beastboy's comment and looks around. It is totally awesome. A band follows the flag twirlers, marching in perfect time, sun gleaming off their instruments. "Yeah... it is. Totally awesome, I mean. Is, all this stuff, supposed to be part of the whole, uh, thankfuness celebration?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy nodded in confirmation, "Well sort of yes. See it's kind of to celebrate the holiday season. Starting with Thanksgiving and going into Christmas. Kind of like a big opening day party."

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

You get a blank look at "Christmas" too, Beastboy. Just for the record. Tavros makes a mental note to look this stuff up later.

"Oh, I guess, that makes sense. So, what is it you're supposed to do here? Just, um, watch the festivities from the sidelines?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Well you could." He grinned more mischievously, "Or you could join in!" He put a foot to the barrier and knocked it out of the way, "Come on, let's party!"

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

"Uh, are you sure about this? I think, even in a make-believe scenario like this one, um... the barrier was in place for a reason..."

But then, he's been breaking all known laws of physics in here by flying, right? And it isn't like Tavros to put up much more than a token protest.

"Oh come on, everybody wants to see you!" Beastboy countered and the crowd began to chant and cheer for him, even waving signs that looked like Tavros.

Beastboy led the way back out into the street and waved.

Tavros blushes brown at the sudden unexpected cheers.

"Okay... okay, uh, wait up..."

He hesitates, looking at the broken barrier, and decides against staying in the wheelchair. He can fly in here anyway.

So that's what he does, leaving the chair behind to join Beastboy in the parade. He glances back at the cheering crowd and waves, looking a bit embarrassed still.

"That's the spirit!" He cheered him on, "Come on dude show them some slick moves. Give em something to cheer about." He began to dance and trot about awkwardly. He wasn't as slick as he'd hope but the virtual crowd loved it.

[alterniantaurus.livejournal.com]

Okay, Beastboy, you win. Your reckless capering is cracking Tavros up and making that crowd go wild!

"You're crazy, you know that? And, um, I mean that, in the nicest way possible."
