Dedication: nobody yet!

Robin walked from the training room, down the hall to the bathroom. The cool, steel walls decreased the temperature of the tower greatly, and for the sweaty boy wonder- the drop in humidity was a relief. For a Saturday, he was up early. So eight o'clock isn't exactly early, but for the teenage boy wonder; eight was early on a Saturday morning. He entered the blue wallpapered bathroom to find Starfire washing her hair in the soap sud filled sink… not unusual. Robin took a second glance; noticing something abnormal for the alien princess.
she was wearing a crimson red string bikini.
Not a full piece she usually donned, not her uniform, or the tube tops she had become accustom to wearing.
but a string bikini...
"Oh! Hello dear friend Robin!" she said, noticing the boys presence in the coed washroom. He continued to stare. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah… Sorry Star," He snapped out of the trance, a deep blush covering his cheeks. He always found a way to embarrass himself around her.
"What are you going to do today for the entertainment?" she flipped her hair over and wrapped a towel around it before he stepped to the sink next to hers.
"I don't know," Robin's hand pushed it's way through his ebony locks that had fallen in his face. "What do you want to do?"
"I'd love to go to the Mall of Shopping…. And maybe go for a swim in the Pool of water?" she slipped the towel off and brushed her long red hair out. The smell of watermelon filled the air and he couldn't help remembering the brand name of her shampoo.
Watermelon Wonder...
Robin chuckled to himself, wondering how a shampoo name could possibly describe his best friend so well...
Wonder...
"Need a ride?" he asked her. Please need a ride, Please need a ride, He prayed silently to himself.
"If you do not mind…" She said, almost as if he would reject the offer he had made.
"Nope-not-at-all." He slurred out quickly. "be ready in 20 minutes… ok?" He could already feel her arms around his waist.
"Ok… Many thanks Robin!" she threw her arms around him and ran out the door. Robin stood frozen to the floor before realizing he needed a shower before he could take her to the mall.

Thirty minutes later Starfire entered the garage and looked around for Robin. She found him hunting through the cupboard that held the helmets for the motorcycles. Robin turned around and handed Starfire the pink helmet he had bought her for her birthday. Sliding his red one on his own head.
"Ready?" he asked sliding on. Starfire followed his example. "Hold on!" he yelled over the rumble of the engine. Star slid her arms around his waist and held on. The two smiled the whole way to the mall, not wanting the other to know the thoughts running through the others head. The sheer glee both got from the closeness of their bodies. Star held on tight enough that it seemed she didn't want to fall off; with out wanting him to know that she was enjoying the ride.
When they reached the "Mall of shopping", as Starfire called it, she slid off and straightened her hair and clothes. Robin climbed off after her. "Want some company?"
"I would love for you to accompany me," Starfire giggled, grabbing his hand and pulling him into the mall, where she proceeded in dragged him through the clothing stores for over three hours. She tried on several hundred different dresses, shirts, shorts, skirts, pants, and shoes.
After three hours of saying "I like that one" or "that's cute" or "that's nice too" Robin finally convinced Star to go to the coffee shop and get a drink. Now he knew why Raven didn't go with her. Robin went to the counter after finding a table and bought the drinks. He paid and received his order before walking slowly back to the table Star had sat down at and proceeded to slip the lip gloss she had brought over her lips.
One of the many things Robin would never understand is why girls put on lip gloss before consuming anything.
When he returned he found Starfire wasn't alone, but talking to a tall, tanned, hazelnut haired boy.
"Excuse me!" Robin said irritably, sitting down next to Starfire.
"Robin, this is my new friend Adrian. He used to be friends with Cyborg." Star smiled at Adrian, her demeanor polite, but not exactly warm.
"Nice to meet you, So how do you know Cyborg?" Robin inquired, wanting to prove his authenticity of his story.
"Cy and I were both on the Jump City High School football team- It was my freshman year," Adrian said quietly. His voice still seemed young enough to be slightly prepubescent, yet deep. He smiled as Star began to ask him all about the sport. His deep blue eyes caught the sun almost as well as his perfectly white teeth. Star was entranced; and Robin couldn't have been more pissed.
"Ready to go, Star?" He asked, drawing her attention back to him.
"Yes, I am coming. Good bye Adrian…" Robin pulled her out of the shop before Adrian could say goodbye to either of them. As they walked through the mall, Robin wanted to go home more than ever.
"Is something wrong Robin?" She asked quietly, afraid he knew something she didn't about the mysterious Adrian.
"No," He lied, earning a I-know-your-lying-so-tell-the-truth-already look from the girl by his side. "Yes, I want to go back now... Do you?" He gave in.
"No but I suppose we can go back." Robin heaved a sigh of relief as they began their way to the R-cycle.
Robin and Starfire walked back to the motorcycle in the parking. The two climbed on and he slowly maneuvered his way through the traffic until they reached the interstate. As he picked up speed, he realized something was wrong as the gas pedal began to stick to the running board of the cycle. Star looked up from his back when she saw something that would have made her worst nightmare look like a complete fantasy...
Star couldn't move, she was paralyzed in fear as Robin threw her from the bike with him, landing on the pavement as the vehicle erupted into a ball of flames.

a/n: Okay... before I even start the sequel to D.A.S. I have to edit this one. It was written last year (oh my goodness- has it really been that long?) and since then I've learned how to actually write well. Please excuse the cluttered brain that I've seemed to take on lately as I rewrite this. Several new scenes will be added, many more emotions and thoughts will thicken the plot and: a new ending... so I apologize if you do not enjoy the new and improved D.A.S. but: you can keep those thoughts to yourself if you don't like them!
Emma
ps. please continue to review D.A.S.- I appreciate all thoughts and tips that are sent my way!
