The Ice Princess, the Knight and the Ice Dragon (bendytimed to Christmas Eve)
Cait slipped her hand in Ty's as they exited the building where they lived. The San Francisco night air was cool and a blanket of fog had settled over the city. The streets were mostly empty despite the early hour. People were home with their friends and loved one as was typical on Christmas Eve.

Tonight was set aside for time with Ty. Tomorrow there would be time to spend with her family (not looking forward to Arthur and Ty being in close quarters) and the Titans. Tonight it was the time for a Christmas tradition. The Ice Princess had to be save from the Ice Dragon by her dashing Knight.

"I'm glad we get to do this," Cait said. Being dead last year made it a little difficult to do last year. Cait couldn't express in words how glad she was that they could do this and what it meant to her.

"I am too." he agrees, trying to remember to talk out loud. Not always necessary, especially with her, but its a good habit.

"But one thing is missing... my annual gift to the Titans."

He focuses, eyes going blank white, hands lifting as he looks upward, and a semi-transparent dome closes over the island, and within the half-globe, it begins to snow, and ice up, creating a private winter wonderland for the princess, and the team, the snow falling just right to form snow forts and an ice skating rink naturally.

	"Care to do the honors and take us to the Tower or do you want to walk?" Cait asked. She knew what he had just done even if she couldn't see it at the moment. "Just please no flying." She squeezed his hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No flying." he agrees. He surrounds them both in a yellow bubble, and teleports it after he's made sure all conditions are stable within, no lurching, no sudden shift of views, nothing to make her sick, or even be aware of movement. Then he teleports it, and slowly lets it fade, to the sight of a giant snow castle. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait didn't think she'd ever get over the discomfort flying caused her and thankfully he had other means of transportation. Teleporting wasn't as bad as flying, but it wasn't exactly pleasant either. Cait smiled when she saw the snow castle and then she kissed him. "I love you. I cannot say how much or say it enough."

	"I love you too, Princess." As he kisses her, he rests his hands on her hips, and begins transmuting her clothes, her garments shifting into a perfect white and blue crystal-colored princess dress, and snowflakes begin swirling about her head, piecing themselves together into the most delicate of tiaras.

	Cait stepped back and looked down at her dress. She smiled and then spun around once. The fabric was so thin and delicate it practically floated. "It's beautiful." She smiled and then curtsied. "Thank you, Sir Knight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He shifts his own clothing into light blue steel chainmail, and forms a sword of ice. "Want to help me with the dragon?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"With pleasure." Cait couldn't stop smiling. It was just perfect and the two of them deserved some happiness.

Cait took a deep breath in and water rose up out of the Pacific. It coalesced into the form of a large dragon and then turned to ice. It swung its head back and forth before it settled its attention on Ty. It pulled back and then let out a blast of ice. All that was missing was a roar.

	He telekineses her gently up into the tower of the castle, then turns to face the dragon, his shield of ice materializing just in time to catch the blast. He lunges forward into battle with the ice dragon. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her new location provided a better vantage point and it was easier to control the dragon from where she now stood. The dragon swiped at the knight in front of him with ice claws and sent another blast of ice at him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty blocks the ice, but gets smashed aside by the paw, his armor tearing where the claws hit, and the knight being knocked aside into a snowdrift. He recovers his sword and kicks back up, lunging with the ice blade for one shoulder. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2012-01-22 09:01 pm UTC (link)
	Cait winced when Ty got knocked aside even though she knew he wasn't hurt. She just didn't want to see the man she loved get knocked around by anyone. The worst part is that she did it. The dragon pressed the attack and swiped again, but he missed and the sword went into the dragon's shoulder. It pulled back and tried to grab at the man with it's other claw.

	Really, had he been worried about it, he could use super speed, or magic fire, or a lot of other things. He let himself be hit, its all part of the scene. He's grabbed by the dragon, but keeps his sword arm free, barely, waiting til it lifts him, then slashing at the wrist of the claw holding him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The wound on the dragon's shoulder sealed up as the one hand was sliced off. The dragon snapped at the man with large ice teeth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	For a moment, it looks like it will connect, instead, he leaps, launching himself into the mouth, just avoiding the teeth, shoving the sword towards the dragon's throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The dragon thrashed for a moment and then collapsed in a pile of ice. It was "dead". Cait chuckled and clapped for her knight's victory. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The 'wounded' knight flies up to the tower the princess is in, then kneels before her. "You are rescued, m'lady. I believe tradition entitles me to a request of the princess?" Where, their first year, and where this became a tradition, he'd gotten their first kiss from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty pauses a moment, focusing himself, relaxing all he can. He holds his sword in both hands, and transmutes it. He's practiced this, studied the formulas, worked on getting it just right so he could do it by rote, turning the blade into something else. "Then will you marry me?" he asks, offering over a white gold ring, studded with diamonds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Cait just /stared/ at the ring. Never in a million years would she have thought he would do /this/ now. Her mouth suddenly went dry and tears filled her eyes. Her heart pounded in her chest and the love she felt for him filled her completed.

Time seemed to slow and the rest of the world disappeared leaving only the two of them.

"Yes," she said as the tears fell from her eyes. "It would be an honor to be your wife."

	He slips the ring onto her finger, resizing and adjusting it mid-movement until its a perfect fit. "I love you, Cait. And nothing would make me happier. I... was starting to think about this months ago... but this was the perfect time, I thought. And we have a lot to think about now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I love you, Tyeler. With all of my heart and then some."

She looked down at the ring and for a moment touched it with her thumb just to make sure this was real and not some dream.

She looked back to him. "We do." Telling Arthur was one of those things, but she was not going to give that thought a second thought. That could wait until later when they would deal with the rest of the world. Right now this was their moment.

"But all of that can wait. Tonight is ours. Nothing else except you and me exists until the morning."

	Cait smiled and then kissed him. "Dinner, a movie with cuddling and then sleeping next to you in your arms." She smiled. "And anything else you can think of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He pauses, taking a deep breath. "I, uhm..." he flushes a little. "Was thinking, now that we're engaged, and its been... 3 years.... maybe after dinner and a movie, we might... uhm, talk about sex?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
