"Then how about what I like to call 'Lavish' Roast Beef," you suggest. "It has a wonderful cream sauce made from horseradish, yogurt, anchovies and artichoke hearts. That way it's savory yet healthy. Plus, we put a poached egg on top."

"Oooh," he says. "I do like the sound of that."

"So do I!" your sisters say.

"Well everyone can have a plate," you say. "I have plenty of everything."

With dinner decided, you all eat the mochi and enjoy the sugary strawberry jam inside the sugary, mushy rice paste. Then Raven has a sudden giggle fit.

"What's so funny?" you ask.

She does her best to calm down so she can also finish chewing the mochi to then swallow.

"The strawberry is so red against the rice," Raven says. "It looks like I just bit into some poor little snowball creature or something."

"That's a bit morbid," your mother says.

You look at the mochi, thinking of it that way, and you can't help but smirk while also feeling bad for these imaginary snowball creatures.

"And yet," you say, "it does look like that."

Your mother looks at her own mochi and stifles a snorting snicker as best she can.

After everyone eats up their mochi and the plates are all put away, your parents and grandparents give your and your sisters and even Raven a hug good-bye before returning to the hotel.

"Now for our lazy arts 'n' crafts afternoon," you say.

"Yay~!" your sisters say.

They go to their room and bring out their knitting kits. You bring out your pendulum painting kit and get started on those mandalas.

The assembly required on the pendulum isn't so bad, it's mostly cardboard and string to make a rather small tripod. The paint colors are black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink. Which is perfect, because those are all colors that work for everyone in the group. You decide to start with...

A) Robin
B) Cyborg
C) Starfire
D) Beast Boy
