Chapter 2: Maybe it is a date?
Around six o'clock that evening, Raven scavenges through her closet for something nice to wear. She finally settles on ripped black jeans and a white V-neck with a pair of white combat boots to match. She walks into the living room to see the boys watching the football game.
"You're pretty dressed up for this not being a date," Cyborg teases. Raven rolls her eyes, but sayings he was overdressed would be an understatement when Starfire danced into the room. She was wearing a white spaghetti strap under a lacy pink sweater with short shorts and pinks heels to match. Her hair was curled around her left shoulder, and she looked like a model strutting down the stairs. Every jaw in the room hits the floor. She is flawless. Raven jumps up eyeing her "Date."
"Shall we go Raven?" Starfire asks grabbing onto her arm lovingly. Raven nods softly smiling. "Will you win me one of those giant bears with the fluffy fur?" Star asks looking at Raven with puppy dog eyes. Raven just couldn't say no. Star jumps for joy. "You are the best!" She chimes hugging Raven burying her face into her neck. Raven jumps back her ears pink.
"Hey Cyborg, Could you take a look at my door while we're gone? It locked up on me, and I can't seem to get it open now," Raven asks smiling. Cyborgs grins and thumbs up the air. Raven was about to thank him, but her date drags her by her hand out of the tower in the direction of the restaurant.
The booth in the back was a comfy place for both personalities with a happy décor but dimmed lights. Star sits beside Raven and starts talking about the puppies she saw today at the square. Raven listens happily loving when Star got excited over the smallest of things. The waitress snaps her out of her daze.
"What to drink for the happy couple?" She asks grinning.
A much too pink Raven replies, "A hot chocolate and a coffee please." The waitress quickly takes her leave.
There was silence until, "What is a hot chocolate Raven?" Raven thought for a minute.
"It is cocoa mixed with water and has plenty of marshmallows," She remarks finally. Star stays confused until the waitress drops off her drink. She takes a quick sips, then glows happily. "I knew you'd like it."
Starfire rests her head on Raven's shoulder and giggles, "Then you know me well."
"Food to follow?" The waitress asks.
"Let's see how well you know me," Raven adds with a playful wink.
Star thinks for a second then chimes, "We need a double Angus cheese burger with extra mustard, a veggie burger to go, and a small cheese stick platter with marinara!" The waitress nods then runs off.
"Impressive," Raven laughs. Star decides to play back.
"I know my date," she remarks with a wink then giggles at Raven's pink cheeks.
The food hastily comes, and they dig in enjoying this new restaurant. Once Star pays the check, the carnival was calling their names.
Of course the first stop at the carnival was Cyborg's pig. Star buys one ball and glances at the bottles. The carni says she could step up if she wants, but she steps back and throws the ball with enough force to shatter the glass bottles. The carni jumps and quickly hands her the biggest stuffed pig they have. Raven laughs at her date's strength. Cyborg would adore the pig. Now Raven was determined to get her a bear of equal size.
However, her luck is not as good as her dates and she misses 6 out of 7 shots. Instead of her seventh, she makes the carni disappear for a few seconds, and grabs the big black bear holding a heart on the top shelf. Raven grabs her hand running off from the booth before her magic wore off. The carni comes back unaware of any events that unfolded. The girls would not soon forget them though.
