Now here's a story I've been wanting to do for a long while. Apart from an action and romance, bla bla bla, this one is also a parody to Star Wars in a small way. It may be so minscule that its really not worth mentioning. But I hope you like it anyway. Enjoy!

Chapter One

Run in at the Mall

"KYAAAA!" Robin cried out as he swung a powerful kick at his punching dummy. The force from the kick caused it to spin around on his hanging chain numerous times and didn't stop for a very many minuets. Robin rested on his knees and panted from his exhausting work out. Like most other days Robin was pretty much the only in the tower who trained nearly twenty-four seven. He walked over to a side table, picked up a rag and wiped away the noticeable sheen of sweat off his face and the back of his head. He checked the clock and decided that for today enough was enough. He walked out of the training area and down toward his room, whistling as he went. After a short shower he stepped out and headed for the common room.

"CYBORG, enough with the proximity mines," roared Beast Boy. Cyborg had managed to adapt a copy of James Bond Golden Eye to their Game Station. Apparently they had gotten the hang of it. Robin entered and went over to the fridge amongst the constant arguing.

"You just wait till we switch rockets, tin man you'll have it coming!"

"Game going okay guys," asked Robin digging through fridge.

"Oh it's going great," said Beast Boy and Cyborg in unison. Robin smiled and shook his head. He began making himself a turkey sandwich and started looking around the room.

"You guys seen Starfire, or Raven?" Cyborg nodded while getting back to their game.

"Yeah they're…You sly dog you caught me reloading…they're still at the mall." Beast Boy had obviously snuck up on him from behind. Robin took a bite of his lunch and Beast Boy shook his head in disbelief.

"Dude I still can't believe Star actually got Raven to go with her."

"Oh I can believe it," said Robin under his breath. He knew good and well that Starfire possessed a natural endowment of companionship. "She probably gave her the 'starry eyes'," said Robin. Cyborg and Beast Boy paused their game and looked over the couch.

"The what," asked Cyborg.

"The starry eyes, you know……never mind you wouldn't understand." Cyborg and Beast Boy looked at each other, shrugged and went back to their game. Robin meanwhile was busy making a mental picture of the 'starry eyed look'. Starfire would gaze right into your eyes and whine just a little and if need be allow her lower lip to tremble. And to put the cherry on top her emerald eyes sparkle like diamonds. She did this completely out of play of course; never did she want to go against what her friends really wanted to do or not do. However Robin found that it's just impossible to say 'No' that face. He was thinking about it so much that he didn't notice that he had finished eating his sandwich and was now gnawing at his own hand. He quickly removed his hand waved it around for a moment. He looked at the microwave clock and raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm they've been gone for four hours, they should be getting soon. I think."

AT THE MALL…………………

"Friend Raven come look!" Raven sighed and stood up from a chair outside the dressing room of a clothing store. She stepped in front of the dressing room door and tapped her foot.

"Here I am Star, what is it?" The door open and Starfire presented herself.

"Please, give me your critique. Is my appearance pleasing?" Raven looked her over for a moment. She was dressed in multicolored open toe sandals, a white miniskirt, and a lime green tank top.

"Uhh, fun at the beach I see." Star twirled around in place.

"Then you believe it is acceptable."

"I guess, you trying to turn heads or something?" Starfire cocked her head at Raven's question.

"Turn heads? Can not people turn their own heads?" Raven was about to clear it up but shook her head.

"Never mind Star, it's alright. You have enough money for all that?" Star bit her lip and picked up her little purse. Unfortunately Starfire's grasp of earthen currency was still a little shaky. She pulled out a five and handed it to her.

"This is enough yes?"

"Add a twenty and a ten and you'll be all set," she said with small smile. Starfire smiled warmly and nodded. Raven remained by her at the check out counter just to make sure the teller didn't try to take advantage of her. He handed her a receipt and her change and she bid him good day.

"That was most enjoyable Raven," exclaimed Starfire almost rising off the floor.

"Yeah I guess. Can we pleeeease go home now Star?"

"May I try just one more merchant, and then you have my word that we may leave." Raven sweat dropped.

"Starfire that's what you said five stores ago."

"But it just so wondrous to see all they have to offer. As is it I still do not have anything for our friends."

"Starfire you don't have to buy everyone something every time you come to the mall."

"I understand Raven; I simply wish to thank them continually accepting me into their home."

"It's your home to Star. Now Robin's birthday is coming up so if really have to do this wait until then." Starfire immediately bent closer to Raven.

"Oh Raven I am well aware of Robin's date of birth, though I face a problem; I do not know what to present to him." Starfire's face now showed a mix of worry, embarrassment, and confusion.

"Star," Raven snapped her fingers before her. "It's not for another three weeks you have plenty of time to find something. And besides I doubt Robin would care all that much if you didn't have anything for him. He'd probably be more than happy just to have you there." Starfire thought for a moment then nodded.

"You are most likely correct Raven, thank you. Let us return home now." Raven silently thought 'Thank God' as if Starfire could hear her thoughts. They moved together down the crowded noisy halls trying to make their way to the exit. As they moved along a tall man bumped past Starfire and made her stumble somewhat. Startled and knocked off balance she looked back at the man to apologize but found that he had disappeared.

"Star, you okay?" Raven came over and helped her up.

"Yes I believe so," said Starfire still looking for the one who collided with her. Seeing that he was no where in sight. Shrugging it off she continued on with her Titan colleague.

BACK AT THE TOWER…………………

Starfire and Raven entered the common room to find all three boys in glued to the TV. "Hello Friends!" Greeted Starfire. They all turned and waved at them.

"Yo Rae, hey Star how went the mall trip?"

"Fine," deadpanned Raven.

"It was most enjoyable thank you Cyborg."

"Glad you guys had fun," said Robin turning a corner in their game.

"Yeah and maybe next time you can go close shopping with her," said Raven stalking off to her room. Robin turned back to the TV screen trying to hide the small red tint that now colored his face. Starfire set her bag on the counter and then put a hand to her stomach. She frowned slightly and groaned quietly. Robin looked behind the couch again.

"Are you okay Star?"

"Oh yes, I believe I am just…fatigued. Excuse me." With that Starfire glided out of the common room. Robin watched after her curiously, 'hope she's alright,' he thought. Starfire stepped inside her room and into her bathroom. She poured herself a glass of water and guzzled it down with haste. It was then that she noticed her breathing had begun to accelerate.

"Oh my," she breathed. She walked out of the bathroom and at once her vision became enormously blurry and she felt a wave of immense dizziness take over. Starfire stumbled backward against the wall which she quickly clung to for support. She then winced as a terrible sharp pain suddenly jabbed at her stomach and she held onto the edge of her nightstand, about to loose her balance.

Beast Boy was currently walking down the hall and past Starfire's room when as he went by he heard a loud crash, as if something had fallen over. He walked up to Starfire's door and knocked a couple of times.

"Hey Star, you okay in there?" No answer, he knocked again. "Star." He tapped the small panel next to her door and went in. He stepped inside and gasped loudly. The nightstand and the lamp had fallen over and Starfire lay not far from them. She lay curled up in a ball, her eyes shut tight, and she was shivering like crazy.

I know it's short, but most first chapters are. I hope you like it so far. Laters!
