It's pretty obvious I've made my decision about this being a OS or not. If not, I recommend a doctor or a smack to the head with a paddle.

Fall to Pieces

Chapter 2 – Something Lurks

________________________________________________________________________

Starfire awoke in her room slowly. She battered her eyes a few times before yawning and sitting up in her pink fluffy bed. She frowned apparently not wanting to have woken up already. That was a pleasant dream, she thought to herself. She shrugged it off and stood up ready to start the new day back home.

She stood up and made her bed perfectly then smiled at her work. Then she headed toward her pink curtains and opened them letting the sunlight in to brighten her room. She then headed toward her closet to pick out her choice of clothing for the new day, but ofcourse she always picked the two piece purple top and skirt, along with her armored wrist bands and boots. She then headed to Silkie's bedding to feed him his new preferred food, strawberries.

Once she had finished up preparing for the new day, she left her room and walked down the halls of Titans Tower, heading to the main room where the kitchen was waiting for her to ease her nine stomachs.

Once she had reached the main room she saw the big screen was on, and it seemed as if it was split in half at the sides. Ofcourse it was just Beast Boy and Cyborg already playing the Game Station as usual in the early morning. From where she said she could see they were playing a racing game, one they tended to play often.

"Good morning friends!" she said in her cheering voice.

"Morning, Star." They both said slightly raising their hands to wave for a split second, not taking their eyes off of the screen. She simply smiled at them and went into the kitchen to find something to eat. She looked to the freezer and examined several boxes until her eyes rested on the waffles.

Hmm, I always have enjoyed Cyborg's waffles.. she thought.

She looked at Cyborg whose eyes were glued to the TV screen along with Beast Boy's. She decided she would not disturb them and attempt to make them on her own. She looked at the directions on the back and followed. Placing a pan at the top and pouring the batter into it. Then she set the appropriate time for it to cook and waited.

"15 minutes," she sighed. She went over to the sofa and watched her friends playing the Game Station.

"I'm gonna beat ya this time, Cy!" Beast Boy boldly stated

"Don't count on it green boy!" Cyborg snapped back at him

"Beast Boy!" he shouted back
Starfire smiled at her friends who found her friends competitiveness funny. Cyborg's car was in the lead while Beast Boy followed closely behind. The road has all sorts of twists and turns, even a few odd features such ad loops and gaps. She thought it was very interesting how the large screen was able to project such a dynamic game like this, how these Game Stations worked however, she would never understand.

Suddenly she could hear the door to the main room slide open as a new person came to join them.

"Morning, Titans." Robin greeted heading toward them. Starfire turned around and smiled brightly seeing this most special friend of hers coming toward them.

"Morning, Robin." Came the response of the two boys who were caught up in the game.

"X'hal, Robin!" Starfire greeted excitedly in her alien language, getting up to hug him warmly.
He welcomed it and hugged her back, then she give him a gentle kiss on the cheek, he smiled.
This somehow got Beast Boy's attention as he turned around and made a kissy face at them. Cyborg then took this chance to ram Beast Boy's car off the road while he was distracted.

"Dude!" Beast Boy turned back around grabbing his controller and frowned as the screen said 'Cyborg Wins!', "No fair!" he complained.

"And you wonder why I don't let you drive the T-car. You'd probably let go of the steering wheel and get distracted by something stupid." Cyborg said grinning at Beast Boy who crossed his arms pouting.

Starfire giggled playfully looking at the two argue, Robin just rolled his eyes and sat down.

"Think you guys can take on the champ?" Robin challenged proudly.

"You're on!" Cyborg snapped back, and they both started up the game and raced.

"Hmph.." Beast Boy just pouted with his arms crossed and stood up going to the kitchen. Starfire observed her friends playing the racing game, Robin and Cyborg were evenly matched, they both kept taking the lead but the other would come along and pull some slick move that got them the lead every so often. She would let out a little tiny cheer for Robin if he got in the lead, but she tried not to be so loud seeing it wouldn't be polite to her friend Cyborg, so she made it seem like she was trying to cheer for them both. Suddenly a high bitched squeal was heard in the kitchen.

"Beast Boy?" Starfire looked back to the kitchen, while Robin and Cyborg remained focused on their game. She stood up and walked into the kitchen, then saw Beast Boy standing infront of the oven, which had smoke and flames emitting off of it.

"Ah," Starfire began walking toward the oven smiling, "My waffles are done." She clasped her hands together beaming.

"Star, their on fire!" He shouted and then morphed into an elephant and soaked up the oven with water. He then morphed back and stood infront of it picking up the pan by the handle and giving It to Starfire. "Here, ya go." He said with a sarcastic facial expression.

She frowned at her failed attempt to cook. "Aww, I suppose I am not really cut out to be a cook."

"Yeah.. no offense, but let's leave the cooking to Cyborg." He said with a small smile not trying to offend her. She nodded slowly and sighed.

"But my stomachs are still very hungry."

"I'll make you some hot pockets?" Beast Boy offered

"Hot pockets? Please, I do not wish to eat hot things out of a pocket." She said and frowned

"No Star," he said with a dimly, "Hot pockets are like pizza inside these crust things that are shaped like a pocket." He explained

"Oh, I do enjoy the pizza!" She clapped her hands together and beamed at him, "Thank you, Beast Boy."

"No problem." He opened up the freezer and reached inside taking out a box of hot pockets, taking two out and putting them in the microwave for four minutes. She then sat back down at the sofa next to Robin, they were both still playing the game and Robin was leading which caused her to smile.

"Everything okay, Star?" Robin asked obviously hearing the commotion she and Beast Boy had caused in the kitchen but still watching the screen.

"Oh yes, everything is fine." She assured him. For the split second Robin was distracted, Cyborg activated the specialty of his car and fired a sonic blaster at Robin's video game version of his R-cycle. Robin then responded by using the rockets on his motorcycle to lift into the air dodging the sonic blasters. Then he flew above Cyborg's car and use two large grappling hooks that came out of his R-cycle and attached onto Cyborg's car. Robin made a rocking motion and threw Cyborg's car off the road. '

'Robin Wins!' the big screen said.

"Oh yeah!" Robin exclaimed while Starfire cheered and hugged his arm, he then put his arm around her.

"Aww man!" Cyborg said in defeat.

"Maybe next time Cyborg, but I'm still the reigning champion." He said proudly while Starfire giggled with delight and Cyborg just chuckled.

"For now," he said "but I'm gonna beat ya eventually." Robin just nodded at him while BB came racing back to face Cyborg again.

"Alright, round two!" Beast Boy said, "and I'm not gonna get distracted!"

"Yeah right!" Cyborg snapped and they began racing again.

"By the way Star, your foods done." Beast Boy told her. She smiled and headed off into the kitchen ready to eat at last. She took the plate of large pizza pockets and sat down at the kitchen table and started eating. Robin came and sat with her.
"I heard you started to play again after I left last night." Robin said to her as she ate.

"Oh, yes well I kept playing for quite a while last night, I really wish to perfect my skills at the guitar playing." She smiled at him and took another bite.

"Yeah I heard, you're getting pretty good Star." He folded his arms on the table and smiled, "and I have to say that song you sang was really great."

"Thank you." She blushed at his comment and smiled.

"You think about telling the others?" Robin asked her, eager to share his girlfriends hidden talent with their friends.

"A little, but I am still unsure if I want to tell them." She said simply and kept eating.

"Well, if you say so." He shrugged it off and got up to make some sort of breakfast of his own. She had indeed thought about letting the others know about her talent for music. As humble as she was, she herself though she was pretty good at playing and singing, or it could simply be the fact that she already loved to do it so much. She would still have to give it more thought.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was the afternoon and the Titans were all at the mall shopping, or as Starfire called it 'mall of shopping'. Robin had gone off with Starfire and Raven. Normally Robin went with Beast Boy and Cyborg, but they all felt he should spend more time his girlfriend instead. Robin thought didn't particularly want to, since the girls were just going to shop for clothes, only with Starfire's request did he agree to go.

Beast Boy and Cyborg went together first stopping in a department store, while Beast Boy was eager to go to the game store, but Robin had left Cyborg with the money since Beast Boy didn't really show a lot of responsibility holding onto cash in the past. Cyborg was around looking at tools and gadgets while Beast Boy stood near the entrance just waiting.

"Man this bites.. why can't I get the money for once? Sure I may have blown all my money on candy once, but c'mon it's candy!" he sighed and looked through the various shoppers in the mall, then into the department store where Cyborg was.

Something suddenly felt strange to Beast Boy, he felt like someone was watching him. Well he was a Teen Titan after all, and he was also green with fangs but still. He felt like someone was watching him very closely. He looked around the mall and through the crowds of people trying to find out where the strange feeling was coming from. Nothing. He couldn't seem to find anything out of the ordinary, until.

He caught a glimpse of a slim dark figure staring directly at his position from the stairway elevator. He bought his full attention to the figure, but as soon as he did it seemed to disappear. He blinked a few times and shrugged, "Probably just some chick admiring me from afar." He said smartly to himself chuckling.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The figure stood at a far distance from Beast Boy in the mall, watching him. She saw Cyborg come out of the department store and see the relief on Beast Boy's face as they headed off in another direction.

The figure grinned and spoke solemnly, "Almost time."
