Ok, sorry this story is kinda crappy. Well, it was really exciting when I first wrote it, but now that I'm looking back on it while I'm writing my new story and re-watching episodes, I'm like, "Wow, I really didn't capture everyone's character the way I wanted to!" But don't worry, I'll finish posting because someone might come across it later and want it finished. It's happened to me, like, a hundred times and I hate it! I'd be a hypocrite if i did that to you guys. Cookies to my reviewers! :D *passes out cookies*
Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, but I do own a homemade Starfire Halloween costume! (In 7th grade and still Trick-or-Treating with my friends. That's how we roll. ;)
Starfire sat in the white salon chair while Steph circled her, a look of deep concentration on her face. She held some of Starfire's hair to the side and muttered something about the length. Steph moved back around to the front.
"Now, show me your biggest smile."
Starfire gave Steph her widest grin.
"Good! Sink" Steph motioned to the sink. Then she washed and conditioned Starfire's hair, half dried it with a towel, and moved her back to the chair.
"You not gonna watch, Rave?"
"Nope. let me know when your done." Raven said as she pulled a thick book from her cloak.
"Suit yourself. No peaking!"
"Mm-hmm..." Raven said mindlessly, already deep in her book.
Steph trimmed Starfire's hair to make it all the same length. She had so much hair, it took 30 minutes.
"We'll let it dry naturally, but we'll do something special to it before you leave."
Steph lead Starfire down a flight of stairs and yelled to raven' they'd be back up soon'.
"You sell dresses as well?" Starfire asked, looking around. The room the stairs opened up to was filled with dresses.
"Kinda. My friend, Indya, is obsessed with dresses. So we agreed to connect a dress shop to the salon. Now, let's see, I think a green dress, to match your eyes, with a sweetheart neckline. Ooh! And comes above the knee."
Then Steph disappeared into the racks of green dresses.
3 dresses later, Starfire came out in a short dress with a tullu overlay that was pleated. I also had a green jewled belt that came up around her ribs.
"Oh, migod!" Steph claped her hands.
Starfire twirled in front of the big mirror on the dress shop wall.
"I feel this is the dress I will wear on my date with Robin!" Starfire said excitedly.
"Yay! Phase 2: Done! Let's do shoes next. Over here."
Steph lead the way past the racks of endless dresses and to a whole other wall of shoes.
"Hmm. How about white?" Steph moved to the white section and pulled out a pair of flats. "Try these. You're already pretty tall, so if you want heels I would only stick to kitten ones."
Starfire gasped, mortified.
"Why would people make shoes out of poor, helpless kittens? That is very mean!"
"What? No! That just means the heel is small. No kittens harmed." to prove her point, Steph pulled out a pair of shoes with short heels and showed her the tag that read:
KITTEN HEELS; WHT
SIZE 8 1/2
"Oh, thank X'hal! I was very the worried for brief moment! I shall just take the one with no heels, thank you."
"Okay. Back up stairs we go. You can go change back now."
TtTtTtTt
Steph stood in front of Star, makeup brush at the ready, looking confused. She sighed and cocked her head to the side. The she groaned and layed across her makeup table.
"What is the matter, Steph?" Starfire asked, concerned.
"You're just...too... Pretty!"
"Oh. Well, um... thank you?"
Steph peeled herself off the table and got out a tube of mascara and a bubble-gum pink lipstick. She swiped them on.
"Well, that was way faster than I anticipated. Moving right along."
They approched a table laden with jewelry. It didn't take long for Starfire to pick out a golden heart locket with a matching anklet.
"I believe these will go nicely with the dress I picked."
Back in the main area of the salon, Steph plugged in her curling iron, and had Starfire sit.
"I'll curl your hair, we'll give Raven the final reveal, and then you guys can leave! And don't worry, I know that it's insanely curly now, but your hair is so long and heavy the curls will drop into waves."
Within minutes, Starfire's hair had gone from tight curls to flow-y waves and Steph told her to go change so Raven could see her. When Star came out, Raven look somewhat impressed.
"You look great Star. Steph, you've done well."
"Thank you, Raven!"
"Gee Rave, I'm glad I did WELL. Didn't want to try to hard." Steph rolled her eyes. "Now ya'll need to leave. Don't wanna be late!"
Starfire decided to stay dressed to save time. Steph made them promise to come back and tell her how it went.
"It was nice to meet you!" She said as she gave Star a hug. "And it was good to see you again, Raven." and hugged Raven too.
Steph waved from the window as they pulled out of the parking lot.
Whoo! 8:30 on a school night and I'm writing. Whatever ;) I've re-writen some stuff so that's why it took me a while. I've also spent a lot of time on my other story as of late. I like to have some chapters written before I post so I don't have a bunch of time between chapters. Plus, I love dialogue. love it, love it, LOVE IT! But... It takes a while. anyway, one more short chapter and then the final for a total of five for this story, just as a heads up.
