Summary: Starfire feels that she and Raven haven't gotten closer since the Switch incident. Other than the occasional meditation and shopping trips, she feels as if they should become even closer. What happens when a new villain arises during one of their girl time hang outs? What can the girls do to stop it when they're on their own?

Beast Boy walked into the kitchen grinning like a winner. "Today's breakfast is totally gonna be tofu!" the green changeling said to himself. He rubbed his hands evilly after he had collected the tofu from the refrigerator and set it on the counter.

"Guess again, grass stain." Cyborg entered through the main sliding doors to the ops room, his hands poised on his hips and a smug smirk tugging on the corner of his right lip.

"No way! We had meat yesterday!" Beast Boy whined.

"No it ain't. 'Sides none of them likes your disgusting fake food products," the half robot replied.

"Dude your killing innocent animals! What did they ever do to you?"

"It's called survival, B. We need to eat in order to survive," Cyborg replied.

"I don't care! I've been those animals!" Beast Boy exclaimed. "How about we play a game for it?"

"Hmm?"

"First car to reach the finish line gets to cook what they want," Beast Boy challenged.

"You're just wasting your time, B," Cyborg replied cockily as he made his way to the screen and started the game station.

"We'll see about that," Beast Boy retorted, "no way am I gonna eat myself."

Cyborg looked at the boy strangely as an awkward sweat drop ran down his face. "Dude, you're not eating yourself…"

"I'm half animal, of course I am!"

Both boys hopped over the couch and grabbed their controllers and played the game.

"Haha! Eat my dust, B!" Cyborg hollered as his car drove ahead. Beast Boy growled frustrated, occasionally making random sounds while turning his controller like a steering wheel.

"Can't you guys ever be quiet?" Raven walked through the ops room, one arm clutching a navy blue book.

The boys ignored her and continued what they were doing as if no one was there. Annoyed, Raven started her tea while muttering under her breath, "Idiots." She took her seat on the table and continued to read her book.

Starfire walked through the main corridors with a smile on her face while humming a soft, sweet melody. She spotted the two boys bickering over the video game followed by an absorbed Raven reading a book. "Good morning friends," she greeted.

"Morning, Star!" Beast Boy yelled back followed by a shriek due to Cyborg knocking his car off track.

"Booyah! Mornin' lil' lady," Cyborg smirked, his eyes still glued on the screen.

"Morning," the empath greeted, her eyes scanning the page before her.

Starfire walked over to Raven and sat in front of her. Raven instantly stopped reading and looked at the alien girl with one eye arched up. "Need something?" she deadpanned.

"I was hoping I could ask you a question," the alien replied.

"I haven't seen Robin, if that's what you're asking."

"No, no," Starfire paused to play with her fingers, her eyes watching her idling fingers before looking up.

"What is it?" Raven sighed.

"I was hoping we could do the hanging out," she mused.

"I'm not going to the mall with you," Raven monotoned, "you know how much I hate shopping."

"Oh, but please Raven! Perhaps we could also do the meditation together," she chirped.

Raven closed her book and set it aside. "I was going to meditate in my room today," she said.

"Oh please, Raven, let us commence the hanging out! Perhaps we can go out and explore the city in exchange for shopping, "she begged.

Raven rolled her eyes before puffing out a sigh.

"Oh please Raven! We have not done the hanging out and I am eager to have the girl time with you."

"C'mon Rae, lighten up," Beast Boy said while walking over.

Raven glared at the green metamorphosis, "This doesn't concern you, Beast Boy."

"Doesn't matter, Rae," he replied, "you should go out and have some of fun rather than staying in your room all day and reading your creepy books."

"Yeah, Rae," Cyborg replied while setting up breakfast and starting the stove, "except for the creepy part. But you should go out and have some fun. You oughtta be grateful that you have Star unlike Bee back at Titans East. Man, you know how much she wishes there was another girl on the team?"

Raven rolled her eyes while Starfire giggled softly.

"Oh, alright," the empath finally gave in.

"Glorious! Thank you Raven! Oh I also thank you Beast Boy and Cyborg," Starfire clapped happily as she flew to each boy and gave them her infamous bone-crushing hugs.

"Can't breathe, Star," Beast Boy choked out.

"My apologies," she replied.

Cyborg laughed at his best friend, "It wasn't that bad!"

"Well because you're basically a robot!" Beast Boy shot back.

Cyborg grinned. "So ya'll gonna stick around and grab somethin' to bite before ya go?"

"Sure, but I'd like mine tofu free," Raven said.

"I shall eat anything you have prepared," Starfire smiled, "may I have mustard for my beverage?"

A huge sweat drop formed on both Cyborg and Beast Boy's forehead, they still couldn't understand why Starfire liked mustard as a drink.

Minutes later, Cyborg prepared four plates for each of them before switching with Beast Boy. "Tofu anyone?" Beast Boy asked as he wrapped a kiss the chef apron around his waist. Cyborg gave him a disgusted face, his mouth slightly ajar while his eye twitched. Raven played with her waffle, cutting it into smaller pieces before chewing it. Starfire chewed happily with a cup full of mustard on the side. "No? Alright, more for me!" he grinned.

"Oh, what about Robin?" Starfire asked.

"Got that covered, "Cyborg said. "He prefers real food not some fake jello protein."

Beast Boy stuck out his tongue at Cyborg.

Starfire giggled while Raven shook her head disapprovingly before returning to her meal.

After several more moments the girls placed their dishes in the sink before waving goodbye to the boys.

"We shall return shortly!" Starfire chirped

"Take your time girls," Cyborg encouraged, "it doesn't look like any villains are gonna show up today, but if they do, we'll call ya."

"Thank you friends," Starfire said before heading out the main doors followed by Raven.

"See ya later!" Beast Boy waved.

With that, the girls headed to the elevator, exited into the lobby, and finally flew out of Titans Tower.


Starfire flew on her back with a big grin on her face while Raven, now hooded, flew beside her quietly.

"So, shall we journey to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked.

"As long as I don't have to carry anything," Raven replied.

"But is that not the reason we journeyed to the mall of shopping?" Starfire asked.

"Uh… how about we just go try on clothes and talk," Raven suggested. She definitely did not want to come home carrying twenty bags of pointless outfits that she would never wear.

"Then we shall do the hanging out at your favorite depressing café afterwards?" she suggested. Starfire knew that Raven disliked shopping and the fact that she'd go as far as trying clothes with her proved that she was being considerate of her plans.

"Thanks, Starfire," Raven smiled.

Once at the mall, Starfire had dragged Raven into the nearest clothing shop. There, Starfire eagerly dove into the new arrivals rack with a silent Raven walking behind her.

Starfire picked out several clothes ranging from random cartoon shirt designs to urban outfits. She didn't exactly have a specific preference in clothing for she had enjoyed almost anything. Bumble Bee usually pointed out what fit her taste—body type—the best.

Raven usually always headed to the gothic clothing racks, but she made an exception with Starfire during their shopping trips. She allowed herself to look through the popular clothing racks, but limited herself to look at dark clothing. She was willing to be flexible with Starfire's selected outfits for her, like a dark blue off the shoulder shirt with dark printed words that said, "Mysterious". Although she would never admit it, she did like the shirt. It had described her quite well.

Starfire smiled at every shirt she came across. Each design had a unique appearance and texture. She couldn't help but appreciate all of them.

So let's talk about something, Raven suggested telepathically.

Is this how you say a "give away" to the public? Starfire asked.

Actually, I just prefer talking this way, Raven replied. Starfire nodded while she continued to select outfits.

Do you have the boy troubles? Starfire asked after deciding on a topic.

What do you mean?

Well, do you have the feeling for anyone in particular?

As in you and a certain leader?

Starfire blushed at her telepathic comment. Raven's left lip twitched into a small grin.

Uh- I believe I am referring to you a-and a certain person of special? she avoided.

You don't need to hide it, Starfire. Everyone already knows, Raven answered, hoping to distract the alien's topic.

T-they do? B-but how is it possible? Am I a transparent book of the reading?

If you mean an open book, then yes, Raven sighed in relief. Starfire took the bait. No way would she ever tell Starfire that she had feelings for a certain boy back at the tower... wait did she say she had feelings? She shrugged it off.

You promise that you will not tell Robin? Starfire panicked. Raven nodded although she knew that someone had to tell the leader. For someone so brilliant and can collect every clue to find a villain, he couldn't take the huge hint that Starfire had a thing for him.

Of course, Starfire, she promised. Starfire returned it with a smile followed by handing her a dark maroon halter top.

Raven stared at it inquisitively before reaching for it. Not bad she told her alien friend. But I don't think I'll wear something like this anytime soon.

It is beautiful, is it not? I believe we shall find the time for you to wear such attire, Starfire replied.

The two girls continued to search for more clothing before heading to the fitting room.

"Do I look nice?" Starfire asked after trying out thirty clothes. She stepped out of her corridor and did a small spin in front of Raven.

Raven raised an eyebrow before replying, "Sure…"

Starfire wore a white, silky halter top with a light brown ribbon wrapped around her waist and dark blue short shorts. Raven, on the other hand, wore her plain dark maroon halter top with light blue skinny jeans.

"We shall reserve these attires for our next visit to the mall of shopping, yes?" Starfire asked.

Raven shrugged, "Can we go now?"

Starfire and Raven hastily returned inside their changing rooms and switched back into gear. Starfire grabbed all of her clothes and hung them on an empty rack, making it halfway full of clothes. Starfire and Raven held their selected clothes and handed the items over to the cashier to reserve it for them.

The two teens then hung out at Raven's favorite depressing café. The two girls continued to chat through their mind as they commented about other teenagers sharing depressing poetry for open mic. Starfire encouraged Raven to go on stage and share her poetry after a familiar Goth boy shared his poetry. Raven secretly exchanged smiles with the boy as he walked off stage and into his seat. She gave into the alien's request and shared a poem.

When left alone in the dark, who do you seek?

How can you reach out to them, let alone speak?

No mater how much you try, it just isn't enough.

The journey you call life is only going to get tough.

Sometimes you have to face the world alone.

Life isn't fair that's why it has this depressing tone.

You feel as if you can't trust anyone,

Because one day you'll know they're gone.

When left alone in the dark, I searched for light.

A pathway that'll lead to great heights.

I thought I'd be alone in the end.

But there they stood, people, my friends.

Who led me to a place I can freely roam.

A place that I can finally call my home.

When Raven had finished, she looked at Starfire and gave her a grateful smile. Starfire had one tear in her eye as she stood clapping as well as several other teenagers, especially the familiar Goth boy.

Raven glided off stage and back to her table. Once she reached the table, Starfire approached her and gave her a tight hug, like the hug she gave her after they got their bodies back during the switch event. "Oh, Raven that was glorious!" Starfire praised.

"Uh, you are hugging me," she monotoned.

Starfire continued to hug her for another couple second before releasing her and both returned to their seats.

"Is that poem connected to the end of the world?" Starfire asked.

Raven smiled in response, "Yeah... I thought it wouldn't be any use if I told anyone about the prophecy before. I never thought that it was possible to change my destiny until I met you guys."

"Do not believe that you are always alone, Raven," Starfire said while clasping her hands in hers, "you are no longer alone."

Raven's hands squeezed Starfire's gently as she said her thanks through another small smile. "To be honest, Starfire, I actually thought this would be a terrible idea," she said. "But it was actually fun," she quickly added when she saw her best friend's smile faltered. Afterwards she pulled her hand away.

"I believe it is like how Beast Boy says it could not get any worse?" Starfire asked.

"Let's not add Beast Boy to the topic."

Starfire stared at her, her eyes shining with inquisition.

"Usually he makes the situation worse when he says that."

Starfire muffled a giggle and Raven joined in as well.

"Shall we go to the park?" Starfire asked once she finished her giggle.

"Park?" Raven asked.

"I believe that we could have done the hanging out in a new surrounding," Starfire said thoughtfully.

Raven shrugged. "I don't care, just as long as it's peaceful," the empath replied.

"It shall be," Starfire nodded happily.

What's the worse that could happen? She thought as they departed the café. Great now I'm starting to think like Beast Boy, she huffed.


This is my first attempt in writing a horror story and an OC characters! So it's like a double-whammy here ^^;
To be honest, I'm not sure if it will come out great but I will try my best to make it sound like a good horror... and a tad of comic relief on the side ^^;

Finally first chapter done!

It's just pretty humorous for the most. Thanks for being patient! :D
Anyways Robin isn't here because he's probably busy researching in his room or sleeping, but don't worry I'll mention him soon enough! :D

Part 2 may be long, I'm not sure yet, but I'm so excited to write it! :D

I wrote the poem while I was waiting to be picked up from school. I used to write poems before, but I haven't had the inspiration nor motivation to write a poem in like forever.. until I added the open mic thing x) I tried to make it sounds so Raven-ish (:
