Fashion Crisis
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. I wish I do, but I don't.
Raven and Starfire have never been the fashionistas most girls are, but a trip to the mall can change their style… and their lives.
This chapter is dedicated to :

Chapter 1
The sun was shining especially brightly down on Jump City that summer, and the heat wave was killing everybody, including our favorite heroes.
Beast Boy practically stumbled into the titans' operations room, wearing only his green checkered boxers and fanning himself like crazy.
Raven didn't look up from her book, thankfully, but Starfire, who was doing her dish duty at the sink, glanced up to greet her friend and immediately screamed, dropping the plate she was holding.
It shattered to pieces on the floor, which captured the attention of the rest of the titans, who looked over to Starfire and then over to where she was staring at.
Cyborg and Robin choked back a laugh while Raven remained emotionless and went back to her book.
Robin suddenly remembered Starfire was still present and cleared his throat.
"Uh, Beast Boy… could you, uh..."
At this point, he laughed again and quickly stopped himself.
"…put on something?"
"Are you insane!" Beast Boy screamed. "Do you know how hot it is right now!"
"At least put on something, will ya?" Cyborg shot back, nodding towards Robin.
The boy wonder was in a thin red shirt and green shorts, matching his uniform.
"That's not exactly a very big fashion statement, Rob," Beast Boy commented.
"You should realize by now, Beast Boy, that none of us care much about fashion," Raven said in her usual monotonous voice. "Including Starfire,"
At that, Starfire shot her a mildly annoyed look.
Beast Boy studied his teammates' current summer wear.
Raven was in a shirt and shorts- all light colors, which are very rare on her, while Starfire wore a loose pink tank top and white hot pants.
Cyborg was wearing his hologram rings and was in a white tank top and army-print bermudas.
"I still don't see what's wrong with my fashion statement," he frowned.
"It's not a fashion statement," Robin pointed out. "You're in your underwear,"
Starfire knitted her brows together, the look she always gave when she was about to ask a question. "Please, why--?"
"Starfire," Raven quickly stopped her. "Not now,"
"But I really wish to know--!"
"You wanna go to the mall?"
Starfire looked at her, stunned.
The only time Raven had asked her out was when they had switched bodies.
"But, Raven, you hate going to the mall,"
Raven shrugged. "You don't,"
Starfire smiled brightly. "Great! I'll go get ready!"
With that, she flew down the hall towards her room.
Raven sighed and got up, heading for the hall after her.
"You are a lifesaver, Beast Boy," she snapped as she past him.
"Y'know," Cyborg chuckled as Beast Boy settled down next to him on the couch, "You must really be something to get Raven to go to the mall,"
"Oh, shut up," the green changeling sulked as he slid further down into the sofa and grabbed the remote.
is it good? is it? is it?
raven is not so dark now and she laughs more often, cracks jokes more often and has fun more often. :D
starfire is a little less naive. she still speaks in her little confused way at times, but now she understands more of earth's culture and language.
please review and let me know what you think. i know it's a very short chapter. it doesn't really tell the story. i promise the next will be much much longer.
i'm aiming for at least 6 reviews by wednesday, 20th september 2006. i usually don't get very much reviews for first chapters, so my hopes aren't high. sob. please please please review, okay?
for those who were confused by starfire's question, she was about to ask something that has to do with BB's boxers, and it's very inappropriate, so raven stopped her in time.
hey, don't let your imagination run too wild about her question, okay? it's not rated-M-sick.
peace out! XOXO
