Onto the story!
Jinx leaped into the air, sending a strong blow kick into the white ball, sending to it fly across the net, only to be thrown right back at her in the same force.
Jinx and Starfire happened to be on the roof of the Titans Tower, playing a good old fashioned game of volleyball, just with no rules. Meaning you can hit it over the net with anything. It was around seven-forty, evening time. They were waiting for the sun to set, for this would be the night that they would be staying up. They were playing to pass the time, since they've been on the roof for about an hour now.
Starfire served the ball and checked the watch that was wrapped around her wrist. "Friend Jinx, I believe it is the time that on Earth your sun sets!" She remarked. Jinx checked her watch as well, but at the wrong time. The ball Starfire had sent over the net ended up socking her across the face, causing her to fall on her butt, yelping because she was caught by surprise. "I apologize, Jinx. But we should end the game now."Jinx scoffed and threw the ball out of her way, reaching aa hand to her face to feel if anything got hurt in the process.
"No problem, I'm going to ignore the paranoia of my cheek forming a bruise because we have more important matters in our hands than my bruised cheek." Starfire couldn't tell if that was sarcasm or not. The two sat down on the edge of the roof, staring out into the sky, studying all the colors that stained the clouds with a mix of orange, pink, and slight purple.
"What makes the sky blue?" Jinx asked, staring out into the sky.
"Simple! Out of most molecules of color,there are mostly blue molecules, so most of the day, blue molecules color the sky and that is why the sky is blue and not any other color most of the day." Starfire cheerfully answered, clapping her hands together. Jinx just stared at her. Her question wasn't meant to be answered, but she stayed silent anyway, deciding to check her watch. It was seven-fifty-one.
"Get ready, Star. It's coming." They did the liberty of googling the answer to when the sun set in California. Google said seven-fifty-two. They positioned themselves and with hard stares, focused on the sky. The sun, which was now kind of bearable to look at, drifted down, taking the light of day with it with each second. Their thumbs rested on the button labeled 'Start', ready to time themselves for night.
Seven-fifty-two.
They hit the buttons and faced each other, contemplating their next move. "I'm sure Beastboy has a whole bunch of soda locked up somewhere, or some candy, or some form of sugar. Either way we need it. Tonight, we'll camp in your room. You made sure we have entertainment in case we get bored, right?" Jinx asked. Starfire nodded, and together the two made their way downstairs.
~xx~xx~
8:00 P.M.
The two sat together on Starfire's round, pink bed, pillows in their laps and popcorn surrounding them, watching Pitch Perfect, occasionally drinking some Root Beer that they 'borrowed' from one of Beastboy's-secret-not-so-secret closet from the kitchen.
10:00 P.M.
The two girls were jumping on Starfire's bed, singing along with the Pitch Perfect music soundtrack. Popcorn was everywhere, the music blaring through Starfire's pink, rainbow-stickered speakers.
"WE JUST WANNA MAKE THE WORLD DANCE-"
"Guys, really?" A foreign voice called out from the door. Jinx and Starfire ceased in their jumping and turned around to see Beastboy standing there in a white T-shirt and some grey sweats glaring at them. "It's ten o' clock. Go to bed. Starfire, you know usually attacks on Mondays or Tuesdays and I'm not really feelin' it tonight." He spoke in a tired, low, quiet tone, like he just woke up, which he most likely did. Jinx glanced at the poster board that was their plan that was currently resting on Starfire's counter, very obvious that it was there. It had to be one of the things that wasn't pink in this room. Starfire must have sensed this, as she quickly hopped off her bed and speed-walked over, gently pushing Beastboy out of her room to talk in the hall.
"Sorry friend Beastboy. We will turn our voices and music down. Have a good night!" Starfire apologized. Beastboy studied her expression, knowing very well that Starfire could probably find a loophole, using her naivety as a weapon. He then sighed, and walked down the hall.
"Insomniacs," He muttered, but low enough to whereas only he could hear it. Starfire, after seeing Beastboy disappear down the hall, walked back into her room with a sigh.
11:15 P.M.
They were sitting cross-legged once again on Starfire's bed, watching youtube off the Tv. They had snuck into the living room and stole the GameStation. Starfire clicked on the letters by the controller. The search engine brought up two results of Bbrae-Clarity.
It started with a scene of the tower in the distance, the ocean surrounding the small island calm, a glow over it. Then when the singing began, a few scenes of Beastboy and Raven, cut out from news reports and interviews, alongs with meetings in person. Then the music-techno break began, signaling the pictures from Deviantart.
These pictures consisted of Beastboy and Raven kissing, hugging, flirting, or other forms of affection. Then the pictures began to come faster since the climax was building. Then two beats were made, and on each beat there was a separate picture of Beastboy and Raven. The cycle began over again.
The video was awesome.
12:30 A.M.
"I just saw you take extra play orange money." Starfire drawled, sipping a cup of Sprite Soda. Jinx glared at her.
"I did not."
"When you passed the square 'Go', you took four-hundred play money instead of two-hundred. Put it back." Starfire stated, she began to narrow her eyes.
"I only took two-hundred, okay? Now go." Jinx hissed. Reluctantly, Starfire rolled the dice and hastily moved her car 8 squares. Jinx jumped slightly in her seat. Her eyes widened and her finger pointed accusingly to the car. "CHEATER!"
Starfire's eyebrows furrowed and her expression remained stoic.
"What did I do that consisted of the cheating, friend Jinx?" She said in a kind, forced tone.
"You were supposed to land on my space."
"I counted 8 squares, friend Jinx."
"Did you?" Jinx narrowed her eyes into slits.
"Yes I did, friend Jinx." Starfire responded in a low tone.
"No you didn't."
"You are being the greedy, friend Jinx."
"NO I'M NOT!"
"Yes you are."
2:10 A.M.
Jinx painted her toenails black carefully while Starfire sat behind her, taking her straight pink hair out of their ponytails and combing through her hair, the curler plugged into the wall, warming up.
"Later we shall put make-up on you." Starfire said as she picked up the curling iron.
4:25 A.M.
Starfire's head nodded lazily in effort to stay awake. She was having those mini dreams again. It has gotten so bad, in her recent dream(which was a flash of a second) which consisted of Starfire in a beautiful field with a very cute puppy dog in her arms, and her murmuring the word 'Baby' into its ear, she thought she actually said it aloud.
The two girls were having a twilight marathon, and was on the last movie. Jinx sat next to her watching intently, absent-mindedly feeding her mouth with popcorn. Starfire couldn't focus on the movie, nay, she couldn't see anything in front of her. It was all blurry and her mind was going delusional over the idea of sleeping. It'd be so simple just to close her eyes and-
"Starfire?"
She tried her best to make out Jinx's face.
"Your tired aren't you?" She asked. Starfire nodded.
"Let's go then." They both stood up and walked over to the tubs full of cold water mingling with fresh ice. They had set these tubs up a while ago.
"Jinx, you can't do it. You'll mess up your curls."
"I'll get a shower cap. Be right back." After Jinx left her room, Starfire tied her hair up into a pony tail, got onto her knees, and forcefully, dunked her face into the water for a full 5 seconds. Her face felt like it was stinging and becoming numb, she willed herself not to pull back till the five seconds were done. Once she did, she was awake enough to notice her surroundings and focus on the movie.
6:30 A.M.
They had decided to eat breakfast, especially since Starfire had informed Jinx about the morning training sessions.
They did not complete their breakfast.
Currently, Jinx was at the table, face-first in her bowl of Chicken Ramen Noodles, sleeping away. Starfire was sleeping upside down on the couch, milk poured over her stomach, soggy fruit loops all over the floor, and bowl slowly slipping off of her left hand.
This is the sight the Teen Titans and one speedster woke up to when they entered the OPS room.
"What happened?" Kid Flash asked, flicking off a red fruit loop off of Starfire's belly button.
"Didn't you hear them last night?" Raven asked, making her way to the OPS room. Under her cloak, she had on a tank top and some basketball shorts, in which she always wore for her morning training sessions and her regular attire in the afternoon.
"I could barely sleep." Beastboy commented, rubbing his eyes.
"Shocker," Raven replied, earning a glare from the green shape-shifter. Robin went over to the sleeping alien princess and gently nudged her awake. She awoke with a jolt, falling off the couch, then standing up hurriedly, not paying attention to the sticky milk on her body.
Shs flew out of the OPS room and down the hall screaming 'TIIIIIIIIIME!' This caused Jinx also to awake with a jolt. She fell out of her chair, bringing the bowl down with her, and it shattered across the floor.
Starfire flew back in holding a watch. "I stopped it just in time!" Starfire huffed.
"What are you two talking about?" Cyborg asked. Jinx gave a pointed stare.
"Peacocks. We're talking about Peacocks." Jinx hissed.
Today was a very long day.
Not only was this the last day of school for 8th graders, I had to promote from the 8th grade which was nervewracking, seeing as I am not used to being confident.
I have received the award of being the quietest student and the Independent Worker.
I do not look forward to my freshman year in highschool after summer.
I did, however, receive numerous hugs and phone numbers and emails.
Also, on my report card, my english teacher gave me a C. That english teacher wrongly failed me by saying I have about seven missing assignments when she knows very well I turned them in, I have even confronted her about it and he or she still neglected to change my grade, causing my GPA to slip down to a 3.5 instead of a 4.0 or higher loke it was last time.
I am glad my parentz ard not upset and is quite proud.
Anyway, IT'S SUMMER! WOOOOOOO I SHALL BURN ALL MY NOTEBOOKS TOMORROW! AHHH
Question of the chapter: What is the longest you've ever stayed up?
