#4, yay! Here u go!!!!!!!!!!!
Starfire, woke up from her alarm clock, which was set to 8:00, she was excited about what was going on that day. She got up, took a shower, and started to pack for the day. She remembered that she was supposed to wake robin up. So she went to his room and knocked on the door.
"Robin, please wake up, we are going to have lots of fun today!" she said happily, then heard nothing. She didn't want to knock again, so she slowly opened the door and walked in. he was lying in his bed, on his back, snoring. She walked over and tried to wake him.
"Robin. hello?" She walked up to him, close to his ear and whispered.
"Robin, please get up." She pulled her face away and started to become irritated, she didn't want to wake him because he looked so peaceful and cute when he slept, but she wanted to go to the beach so badly. She looked at him for a while, staring at him, wondering so many things. She looked at his face, and she, for some reason, thought she was not seeing the real robin, there was something missing, and it took her a minute to figure out what it was, then it hit her, Cyborg had brown eyes, beast boy had dark green eyes, raven had dark purple eyes, and she had jade eyes, but what color were robins. She lifted her hands and touched his mask very gently, trying to pull it down, but then she thought to herself with utter discomfort.
This is an invasion of privacy, and if he wakes up, he will never trust me, but I want to see them so much.wait, if he is asleep, how am I going to see them! oh dear, this ruins everything.
She took her hands off, with contradictory, feeling upset but honest. If he wanted everyone to see his eyes, he would have shown them by now. She was being considerate of what he wanted, but still felt like she wasn't seeing him they way he was meant to be seen. She sat on the bed, her hips next to his face, and took her finger, set it on his face and slid it softly down his cheek. She felt how smooth and perfect his skin was, usually girls only had that feeling, but he had it as well, she continued to rub his cheek with enjoyment. For some reason she felt herself leaning down toward his face, looking like she was going to kiss him. She drew nearer and nearer to his pretty boy lips, then, only an inch separated hers from his. She leaned in for it and suddenly, he moaned and opened his covered eyes. He saw her and yelled. She leaped back frightened.
"AAAAAAAAA! Who are you and what do you want with my brain!" he yelled, then saw it was her. He started to turn red from embarrassment.
"I do not wish to steal your brain; I just came to wake you so we can leave for the beach."
"Uh.oh. well sorry about that, I kinda got freaked out, you were standing over me and all, so I didn't get a good look at who it was, and I seem to have this reoccurring dream about this alien tying to steal my brain so it will have the knowledge of earth so he can like take over the planet or something like that." He felt so stupid for saying that.
"Well, I am an alien and I do wish to have your knowledge of earth but I do not want to take your brain." She smiled.
"Thanks, I think, well, just to say, I kinda have really weird dreams, don't get all freaked out by it, I'm not saying you looked like that alien, that thing was ugly, not at all like you.
Wow, did I just say that aloud! Damn!
"Well, I thank you for your compliment, you are not ugly or scary looking either." They both blushed and wanted to say something else, but couldn't think of what, and how.
"Uh, sorry if I screamed in your ear, you were kind close, you look like you were gonna." he thought about it and he remembered how close she was to his face.
Wait, she looked like she was gonna kiss me! No way, that's not like her to do that. Or may be it is. I don't know whatever
"Well, I shall go gather my things and awake the others, you should do the same, I will see you down stairs in the kitchen, and you did not hurt my ears, thank you for apologizing." She said, and with that left the room.
'Ok, that was uh, surprising yet confusing, I could have sworn she was gonna kiss me, but why would she!?" he started to get ready, after he was done, he brought his things down stairs, he had sun block, a towel, and a volley ball. She entered the kitchen, seeing rave with her tea, beast boy and Cyborg pigging out on eggs, ham and bacon, and Starfire not eating for some reason. He walked over to the couch and set his things down like all the others had done.
"Dude! You gotta try Starfire's cooking! It actually tastes good for once!" Starfire heard this and got a little sore. Robin saw her face and said.
"Ya well at least she can make something other than a hotdog! Ya know she went out of her-"
"Dude, it's a compliment, she gets it, right star?" she walked over to the table to pick up his plate, since he was done.
"Um, yes I understand, I am a bad cook, thank you for the compliment." She looked like she had been insulted, since technically she had been. Robin didn't like the look on her face, walked over to him and said.
"So beast boy, Starfire did a good job on her cooking right?"
"Totally."
"Well, don't you think you should repay her by doing the dishes for her."
"Robin, it is alright, I-"
"NO, you have done enough already, we appreciate it but beast boy needs to be a big boy and clean up his own mess doesn't he?"
"Well, she volunteered, meaning-" He saw the vein pop out of his head and tensed up.
"Meaning I should do the dishes even though she wants to because I AM a big boy right!?"
"That's exactly right." She was happy she didn't have to clean up after the others for once, and at the fact robin stood up for her. She wondered why because no one else had before. Robin got a smirk on his face and walked over to get his plate she had so kindly made.
"You didn't have to make me anything." he said gratefully.
"Oh but I wanted to." He thought to himself why she insisted on doing everything for him, but no one else, well, maybe everyone else as well, but she enjoyed carrying out tasks for him only.
"Well, thanks, it was cool of you to do that."
"No problem at all." She said smiling. He walked over to the table and sat down to eat.
"Aren't you gonna eat?"
"No not really, I am not hungry, thank you for asking though."
"Hey servant boy can u ya like hurry up and do the dishes so we can leave."
"Shut up, its harder than it looks!"
"What?! Its washing a freakin plate and putting it in the dishwasher! How is that hard,"
"Well, I don't know but I might be able to go faster if you like ya know, help me!
"Fine then, move over." Cyborg started to put the dishes in as beast boy washed. Then beast boy turned up the water, and a little bit splashed over to Cyborg, him seeing the droplets of water coming toward him, he threw the plates up and screamed.
"AAAA,WATER WATER WATER WATER GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!" he backed up all the way to the couch where raven had sat down, and hid behind the couch.
"Oh, is Cyborg afraid of a little water, you know that actually explains a lot."
"HELOO! IMA ROBOT!"
"Yes, who doesn't take baths, which explains why you smell so much, its either the fact that you don't shower, or that odorous cologne you wear."
"Excuse me! Don't make fun of my raging stallion cologne!"
"Is that's what its called, more like raging trash can."
"That is sooo it! No one makes fun of that!" he ran at her but as soon as he finished his sentence she mutterd those infamous words.
"Azarath Metrion Synthose." Suddenly the biggest wettest plate flew at his head.
"Ha ya missed me wench!" the other three turned and stared at him, knowing what was coming next. she heard his rude statement and became agitated, then said it again, this time a huge wet plate flung at him and knocked him, luckily, in the head. He fell over and seemed to be KOed. Beast boy walked over to the lifeless robot and looked over him.
"Dude, she got you good." He said, with a smile playing with his lips, trying not to laugh. Suddenly Cyborg grabbed his leg, and was about to fling him across the room but of course, raven was to quick for him, and with her psychic powers, she flung another plate at his hand.
"AAAAAAAA, WHAT ARE YA TRYIGN TO DO KILL ME!" he screamed, and let go of beast boys leg before the plate hit him.
"Excuse me, but your are breaking all the plates raven, may you please fling another inanimate object at Cyborg besides the china, especially the good kind." Starfire said loudly.
"Can we please go to the beach already, I'm getting tired of fighting someone who has a lot to learn about something he does not posses, skill."
"I have skill!" said Cyborg getting up, walking to the couch to get his things.
"Lets just go and do the dishes later." Robin said, putting his plate in the sink. They all agreed and went to the couch, gathered their things and left. Since beast boy, raven, Starfire and Cyborg could fly, someone had to carry robin.
"Ok, which one of you is it gonna be this time." They all had an idea of who should be the one to carry him to the beach, and stared at her earnestly.
"Um, I will do it robin, that is if you do not mind?" she said in coyness.
"Thanks, at least some people have the decency to do something nice for someone else, unlike a few I know."
"oh shut up, ya know ya want it to be her so quit whining." Said Cyborg sarcastically. Robin bushed and knew his statement was true, but tried to hide it.
"No its not that, I mean not like that, im just saying she is the only one here with a heart."
"Ya whatever." Beast boy said knowing that was just a fluke. They all took off leaving the two behind, expecting them to catch up. Robin walked over to Starfire and picked up her stuff and his, then she picked him up by the underarms and flew up to the pretty blue sky going as fast as she could trying to catch up with them. they had flown for around five minutes when they finally got to the beach of their choice. They landed in a nice spot, and since it was like nine in the morning, it wasn't that crowded so they set up a nice little spot for themselves.
"This looks like a cool spot, its by a palm tree, so we got shade, and I take it you will be the one occupying that space" robin said gawking at raven.
"Wow, psychic." She said, she brought her chair over and set it up, sat down and pulled out her book.
"Ya ok whatever, are we gonna play or what?" said beast boy. The others ignored raven knowing she would have done that anyway, and went over to a spot to set up the volleyball net. Cyborg and beast boy put up the poles, and robin and Starfire put up the net.
"So, who's gonna be one who's team this time." Beast boy asked. The others pointed their attention to robin and Starfire, then with a smirk careless smile on his face Cyborg said.
"Well, that settles it." Beast boy and Cyborg went over to the right side of the net while leaving the other two on the left.
Hooray! I get to be on robins team!
Cyborg had the ball, and started throwing it up and down.
"Are you two ready to know what its like to eat sand?"
"Hey why are you talking to yourself?!"
"Oh so you think I'm gonna be eatin it, well your wrong!" Cyborg jumped up and spiked the ball, robin quickly dived for it, and hit it back up, then Starfire went up and jumped, she hit it back over and so the game continued. The serve went on for a while. Finally, after beast boy hit it far up to the other side, robin ran back, jumped and whacked the ball, then Starfire saw the ball falling to the ground, she quickly ran over and jumped to spike it, but she didn't realize beast boy was there, and slammed it into his face. He stood there for a sec, then said something anyone in his position would have said.
"Look daddy, I can count to three!" he held up five fingers and fell over.
"Oh my goodness, beast boy!" she ran to the other side and knelt down beside him and lifted his head up. Robin and Cyborg surrounded them.
"Dude, ya alright?" Cyborg asked, nothing. They saw his face had the shape of the volleyball indentions, lines everywhere.
"Oh dear, what if I gave him brain damage, maybe he does not remember us! What have I done!" suddenly he opened his eyes, looked up and said.
"Mommy, look at the pretty kiss, can I alien it?" Starfire smiled and gave him a kiss on the head, she knew he meant to say pretty alien, and kiss it. Robin started to chuckle with Cyborg, but when he saw that she had kissed him, he started to think to himself
man, I wish that would have been me, hold on a sec, what am I thinking! That could have given ME brain damage. I need to stop saying things like that!
Starfire lifted beast boy to his feet. She carried him over and sat him on a towel next to raven.
"Please watch him raven, he was hit with the ball, by me, tell him I am sorry." She walked away, and raven looked over to him and smiled for some reason.
"Starfire." she stopped and turned around, "It's no big deal, he doesn't mind, actually I'm sure he is used to it by now." She smiled at her, Starfire smiled back and continued to walk away.
"So, finally someone knocked some sense into you." She looked over at him, seeing him hold up his hand.
"Look, I have 5 fingers!" she looked at him like he was a baby who could talk.
"Ok, maybe she knocked whatever sense you had out off you." She gave him some Pringles, and saw that shut him up, she continued to read her book. Meanwhile Starfire walked up to the others and said she didn't want to play anymore.
"I wish to suspend our activity for I am a danger to my opponents." She said and started to walk off down the beach.
"Starfire, come on it was an accident." Cyborg said.
"Ya, remember what I was telling you on the roof top?" she remembered what he had said.
~"I am glad you enjoyed my presence. It makes me feel needed, but still, I am sure I was boring."
"Why do you always do that, you beat yourself over the head for things you claim to do but don't, you rarely mess up on anything, and when you do you go insane and choke yourself for things you don't deserved to be choked for."~
"I do remember but this was my fault, I do deserve to be upset with myself, I should have been more careful." She walked off further down the beach and pondered for a while. Cyborg and robin watched her walk away, and realizing there was nothing they could say to make her feel better, Cyborg went over and sat next to beast boy. Robin however, didn't like to see her sad or upset. He tried to think of something to make her feel better. She finally got an idea and walked the opposite way on the beach and started to look for something. Meanwhile Starfire walked further and further away, the beach was one of the longest they had in that area. She continued to reflect her memories of last night.
~"I am sorry, I knew I should not have bothered you-"
"Starfire, listen to me, you have never hurt me on purpose, laughed at me, annoyed me, or done anything to upset me, you are the coolest person I know, and I love spending time with you, you don't ever have to think you are lesser than anyone else, because to me.you are more than everyone, and believe me when I tell you that, cause I mean it. It.I.I hate to see you in pain, no matter what the form."
"Robin.thank you.you always seem to make me feel much happier than I appear to be most of the time, which might be surprising. When I am with you I feel at peace with myself, and."~
"Beast boy, why did you have to ruin it, I know you did not know, but still, much could have happened." She said to herself, thinking of when he ruined their moment of bliss. She continued walking and saw a small but pretty rock in the sand. She walked over and picked it up, and recognized it from the discovery channel. She was going to open it when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find robin staring at her smiling.
"Robin, hello." She said, still looking a little gloomy.
"Hey, are you ok now?" he said with care and concern.
"Well, I am still upset for hurting beast boy but I am beginning to feel better."
"Well, I have something for you." He had something in his hand, opened it and she found he had a pretty little sea shell. He handed it to her and she took it with fascination.
"Thank you robin, it is so pretty."
"I thought it would cheer you up."
"Yes, but why a seashell?"
"Well, it represents something. A seashell is from the ocean, and the ocean is peaceful. When I am with you I feel at peace with myself, like I'm home. And I know no matter what, nothing can ruin my time with you." She looked at him and thought he was the most wonderful thing in her life, she felt a tear come to her eye but pushed it back. She remembered about the rock.
"That is sweet of you, and now it is my turn to give you something." She pulled her hand up and gave him the rock.
"Uh, thanks, its cool." He had a puzzled look upon his face.
"This too represents something." He was still confused.
"On the outside is a hard exterior with many rough edges." she took her finger and pointed it at the rock, her finger started to glow, then a small skinny beam of energy struck the rock cutting it in half, robin was surprised thinking he might have gotten hit, but she was careful not to. He opened it and was surprised to see the inside, with beautiful swirly shades of green and blue, overlapping each other with shinny magnificence.
"On the inside, perfect and beautiful in every way, with no flaw in site." They looked one another in the eye trying to guess what the other was thinking. They both smiled and Starfire walked toward him and stood on the side of him. He didn't look at her, he stared forward, then she leaned up and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, then continued to walk back to the place the others were. He was wide eyed and turned around to watch her leave.
Holly crap, what just happened. She kissed me, I don't care if it was on the cheek or not, she still kissed me, why, maybe she was thanking me for the shell
He was happy and turned around and started to hum, making up his own little song, and walked back behind Starfire. They reached the others and saw that beast boy was finally up and about.
"Hey guys." He said, holding his heads slightly feeling the pain. They both noticed that the volleyball marks were gone.
"Beast boy, I am truly sorry for my actions, I promise to be more careful." She said worried he was still badly injured.
"No biggy dude, im fine now, well, maybe I could b a little better, but I was an accident, like ya REALLY wanted to hit me." Cyborg and raven lifted their eyebrows, beast boy turned to look at them, and a sweat mark fell down his face.
"AW COME ON!" he said angrily.
"What the hell did I ever do to you guys!?" Cyborg stood up and put his hand on his chin.
"Hum, lets see, there was that one time you were a squid in the bathtub and I walked in and you squirted that ink shit in my face and I had to spend 20 minutes trying to get it off turning my head into a raisin, the time you were mad at me cause I didn't want to play your stupid guessing game and you walked over and turned my game off when I was on the last level, and then there was a couple days ago you said one of my biggest secrets out loud to everyone, then that one time."
"OK OK! I get it, sorry for asking, now I know I haven't done anything to you!" he pointed to raven, she poked her head above her book and said.
"Lets see, there was the time I was reading one of my favorite books and you ran over to me to show me some stupid trick with your arms and knocked it out of my hand and it fell in the fireplace just before I was on the last chapter, then the time you."
"OH MY FREAKIN GOSH! EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES! AND YOU ARE GONNA PINPOINT EVERYTHING ON ME, ITS NOT LIKE YOU HAVENT DOEN ANYTHING TO ME!"
"Yes well guess what, you deserved it, and when you didn't we always made up for it, have you ever done that?"
"Ya, when your book went up in flames I gave you ten bucks to get a new one! "
"Excuse me but the book cost 35 dollars."
"Ya well, I was short on cash at the time!"
"Yes, and on a brain to."
"That's it!" he then transformed into a lock ness monster, went over to her and wrapped her up.
"Get off em you lock ness freak!" she yelled, he then flung her in to the water. The others looked at him like he was a psycho dead man and he turned back to normal and laughed!
"HAHAHAHAHA, OOPS! SORRY!" He said, not meaning it. they then saw a black figure rise up out of the water, she walked up to beast boy and said.
"Duck." He didn't understand and it was too late.
"Azarath Metrion Synthose." Suddenly a ball flew at his face once again and knocked him out harder than last time. They all ran over to him and tried to wake him up.
"DUDE, HELLOOOOOO! WAKE UP!" Raven walked over and picked up a towel to dry herself off and smirked at her accomplishment.
"Beast boy are you with us?!" Starfire said.
"RAVEN!" said robin.
"Look I know he did somethin ta really piss you off but seriously, he probably does have brain damage!" Cyborg said, they started to shake him and he woke up and once again said something stupid.
"Hey everyone, look at the stupid demon bitch over there, she's evaporating." Raven heard this and turned around to do something, then robin and Starfire stood up and gave her a seriously devilish stare. She stopped and gathered her things, then without saying anything, she flew off. The others gathered their stuff sadly and realized they couldn't carry all the things with only three people, one of which could not fly.
"Look, I'll carry beast man and his stuff, you guys stay here and watch the rest and I'll be back in like ten minutes." He said, flying off with beast boy and his things in his hands. Then robin and Starfire just sat down on their towels.
"Do you think beast boy will be aright?" she said concerned.
"Ya he always bounces back, and it's not like he hasn't been hit with anything like that before."
"Yes I am sure he will be fine." She looked down and stared at her pretty gift from him, and thought about why he gave it to her in the first place.
Why was it important to him to make me feel better, no one else had, I am so confused, he acts like he likes me but at the same time he does not, maybe this hole thing is in my head
"Robin, I wish to thank you for the shell, it was so very thoughtful of you, no one else would have given me such an item." He turned and looked at her with the same remark.
"Well, no one would have given me something like this either."
She's so smart, I never would of thought of that analogy for her, and she's the beautiful one, not me, and generous and cool and fun and everything I want in.
"Robin, I am a little disappointed about today, we were not here for very long and of course, someone ended up fighting, and I want to apologize for this, it never would have happened if i-"
"Don't start, it wasn't your fault, accidents happen, no one expects you to be perfect, I mean look at beast boy.uh.enough said." They both chuckled a little, and she had a slight smile on her face. Robin thought of something that might make her feel better, but at the same time get her mad, but he was willing to do anything to put a smile back on her face.
"Come with me Starfire, I've got somethin to show you." They got up and walked up to the water.
"How does the water feel?" he asked, she knelt down to check it and it was very cold, because of how early it was.
"It feels very chilly." She said.
"So, do you like ice?" she did not understand the connection but she answered.
"Well, in warm liquids I do." He looked at her and smiled, she looked back and smiled but still confused.
"Well." he walked behind her, "I'm glad you do...because you're gonna be one!" he picked her up and threw her in the water.
"ROBIN!" She yelled, and dropped her seashell in the sand. She flew into the water, and he jumped in after her.
"BBBRRRRRR! ITS-S-S S-O C-C-OLD!" She explained.
"Aw don't tell me Starfire's afraid of a little cold water." he smiled devilishly, she smiled back with the same look and splashed him in the eyes.
"Take that!" she said happily.
"Oh ya well take that!" he splashed back, then they got into a splashing contest for a minute or so and stopped from tiring their arms.
"So is that all you have got Mr. Pretty bird!" she said, robin was shocked for two reasons, one, he had never heard her make a joke like that before, and two, she called him pretty.
"Oh ya, well Mrs. Burnt fire, I got something for you, seriously come closer, I'm not joking." She swam close to him, he looked and smiled. He then jumped up and dunked her head under water. She came up gasping for air.
"Robin, that was not fair! You lied to me!" she said angrily but still having fun.
"Aw I'm sorry." He said, sounding serious but not meaning it at the same time.
"No, now you will be!" she jumped and dunked him under the water. He came up laughing.
"Now you're getting it!" she smiled and was having fun, but then she started to think, and robin asked what she was thinking about.
"Yo star, anything wrong?" he said concerned.
"Where is your rock?"
"Mine is on the towel, why?" she got a very upset and shocked look upon her face.
"Were is my seashell!" she swam over to the sand and got up and frantically started searching for it. robin was close behind her, but not looking.
"Starfire its ok I can get you another one." She was still running around like crazy trying to find it.
"No, that one was special! I need to find it!" she sat down and started to dig. Robin looked at her in complete baffled ness and walked over to her, knelt down on the left side of her, and put his hand on her shoulder, then saw she was crying.
"Starfire, why are you crying, its only a seashell, ill go look for another one."
"NO, I WANT MY SEASHELL! I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE, THAT ONE IS SPECIAL, GIVEN TO ME BY YOU!" She was still tearing up and digging, when she came upon something, it was the shell.
"I found it!" she went over to the water and washed it off, held it up to her face and kissed it. Robin was completely shocked. Why was she doing all of that? It was a silly little sea shell, there are tons more, why that one? He walked over to her and turned her around and used his hand to lift her face up to his.
"Starfire, it was just a sea shell, I could have gotten you another, probably one that looked just like it."
"No, this was the one you had given to me, and this is the one I want, no other can take this ones place." They stared at each other, neither of them smiling. Just looking into the others perfect face, Starfire still wondering what his eyes looked like under their. Her face seemed to get closer to his, she was trying to see if she could maybe see through the mask because it was cloth, but she found nothing. She saddened up and looked down.
"Well, I should go put the shell in my bag, maybe it will be safe there." She backed up a few steps and walked over to it putting her shell away. He followed behind her and sat down on his towel, she did the same. They then saw Cyborg returning with, surprisingly, raven. She looked mad still, but not like before.
"Hey, why are you two all wet?" he questioned in a funny tone.
"Nothing! We didn't get to go swimming so we thought one little dip wouldn't hurt." Cyborg walked over to him and whispered into his ear.
"So, did you two make out in the sand too!?" robin blushed and pushed him off, he just chuckled and went off.
"Let's get going huh." Cyborg said, walking over to the volleyball net and taking the polls. Raven said nothing and took the net and one of the bags. They flew off again, then Starfire picked hers up, robin picked his up, walked over to her and smiled.
"Hey thanks for dragging me everywhere, it must be annoying." He said.
"Not at all, id rather carry you than anyone else." They smiled, she picked him up by the underarms and flew off to their tower.
End chapter 4
Next chapter..
Starfire, woke up from her alarm clock, which was set to 8:00, she was excited about what was going on that day. She got up, took a shower, and started to pack for the day. She remembered that she was supposed to wake robin up. So she went to his room and knocked on the door.
"Robin, please wake up, we are going to have lots of fun today!" she said happily, then heard nothing. She didn't want to knock again, so she slowly opened the door and walked in. he was lying in his bed, on his back, snoring. She walked over and tried to wake him.
"Robin. hello?" She walked up to him, close to his ear and whispered.
"Robin, please get up." She pulled her face away and started to become irritated, she didn't want to wake him because he looked so peaceful and cute when he slept, but she wanted to go to the beach so badly. She looked at him for a while, staring at him, wondering so many things. She looked at his face, and she, for some reason, thought she was not seeing the real robin, there was something missing, and it took her a minute to figure out what it was, then it hit her, Cyborg had brown eyes, beast boy had dark green eyes, raven had dark purple eyes, and she had jade eyes, but what color were robins. She lifted her hands and touched his mask very gently, trying to pull it down, but then she thought to herself with utter discomfort.
This is an invasion of privacy, and if he wakes up, he will never trust me, but I want to see them so much.wait, if he is asleep, how am I going to see them! oh dear, this ruins everything.
She took her hands off, with contradictory, feeling upset but honest. If he wanted everyone to see his eyes, he would have shown them by now. She was being considerate of what he wanted, but still felt like she wasn't seeing him they way he was meant to be seen. She sat on the bed, her hips next to his face, and took her finger, set it on his face and slid it softly down his cheek. She felt how smooth and perfect his skin was, usually girls only had that feeling, but he had it as well, she continued to rub his cheek with enjoyment. For some reason she felt herself leaning down toward his face, looking like she was going to kiss him. She drew nearer and nearer to his pretty boy lips, then, only an inch separated hers from his. She leaned in for it and suddenly, he moaned and opened his covered eyes. He saw her and yelled. She leaped back frightened.
"AAAAAAAAA! Who are you and what do you want with my brain!" he yelled, then saw it was her. He started to turn red from embarrassment.
"I do not wish to steal your brain; I just came to wake you so we can leave for the beach."
"Uh.oh. well sorry about that, I kinda got freaked out, you were standing over me and all, so I didn't get a good look at who it was, and I seem to have this reoccurring dream about this alien tying to steal my brain so it will have the knowledge of earth so he can like take over the planet or something like that." He felt so stupid for saying that.
"Well, I am an alien and I do wish to have your knowledge of earth but I do not want to take your brain." She smiled.
"Thanks, I think, well, just to say, I kinda have really weird dreams, don't get all freaked out by it, I'm not saying you looked like that alien, that thing was ugly, not at all like you.
Wow, did I just say that aloud! Damn!
"Well, I thank you for your compliment, you are not ugly or scary looking either." They both blushed and wanted to say something else, but couldn't think of what, and how.
"Uh, sorry if I screamed in your ear, you were kind close, you look like you were gonna." he thought about it and he remembered how close she was to his face.
Wait, she looked like she was gonna kiss me! No way, that's not like her to do that. Or may be it is. I don't know whatever
"Well, I shall go gather my things and awake the others, you should do the same, I will see you down stairs in the kitchen, and you did not hurt my ears, thank you for apologizing." She said, and with that left the room.
'Ok, that was uh, surprising yet confusing, I could have sworn she was gonna kiss me, but why would she!?" he started to get ready, after he was done, he brought his things down stairs, he had sun block, a towel, and a volley ball. She entered the kitchen, seeing rave with her tea, beast boy and Cyborg pigging out on eggs, ham and bacon, and Starfire not eating for some reason. He walked over to the couch and set his things down like all the others had done.
"Dude! You gotta try Starfire's cooking! It actually tastes good for once!" Starfire heard this and got a little sore. Robin saw her face and said.
"Ya well at least she can make something other than a hotdog! Ya know she went out of her-"
"Dude, it's a compliment, she gets it, right star?" she walked over to the table to pick up his plate, since he was done.
"Um, yes I understand, I am a bad cook, thank you for the compliment." She looked like she had been insulted, since technically she had been. Robin didn't like the look on her face, walked over to him and said.
"So beast boy, Starfire did a good job on her cooking right?"
"Totally."
"Well, don't you think you should repay her by doing the dishes for her."
"Robin, it is alright, I-"
"NO, you have done enough already, we appreciate it but beast boy needs to be a big boy and clean up his own mess doesn't he?"
"Well, she volunteered, meaning-" He saw the vein pop out of his head and tensed up.
"Meaning I should do the dishes even though she wants to because I AM a big boy right!?"
"That's exactly right." She was happy she didn't have to clean up after the others for once, and at the fact robin stood up for her. She wondered why because no one else had before. Robin got a smirk on his face and walked over to get his plate she had so kindly made.
"You didn't have to make me anything." he said gratefully.
"Oh but I wanted to." He thought to himself why she insisted on doing everything for him, but no one else, well, maybe everyone else as well, but she enjoyed carrying out tasks for him only.
"Well, thanks, it was cool of you to do that."
"No problem at all." She said smiling. He walked over to the table and sat down to eat.
"Aren't you gonna eat?"
"No not really, I am not hungry, thank you for asking though."
"Hey servant boy can u ya like hurry up and do the dishes so we can leave."
"Shut up, its harder than it looks!"
"What?! Its washing a freakin plate and putting it in the dishwasher! How is that hard,"
"Well, I don't know but I might be able to go faster if you like ya know, help me!
"Fine then, move over." Cyborg started to put the dishes in as beast boy washed. Then beast boy turned up the water, and a little bit splashed over to Cyborg, him seeing the droplets of water coming toward him, he threw the plates up and screamed.
"AAAA,WATER WATER WATER WATER GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!" he backed up all the way to the couch where raven had sat down, and hid behind the couch.
"Oh, is Cyborg afraid of a little water, you know that actually explains a lot."
"HELOO! IMA ROBOT!"
"Yes, who doesn't take baths, which explains why you smell so much, its either the fact that you don't shower, or that odorous cologne you wear."
"Excuse me! Don't make fun of my raging stallion cologne!"
"Is that's what its called, more like raging trash can."
"That is sooo it! No one makes fun of that!" he ran at her but as soon as he finished his sentence she mutterd those infamous words.
"Azarath Metrion Synthose." Suddenly the biggest wettest plate flew at his head.
"Ha ya missed me wench!" the other three turned and stared at him, knowing what was coming next. she heard his rude statement and became agitated, then said it again, this time a huge wet plate flung at him and knocked him, luckily, in the head. He fell over and seemed to be KOed. Beast boy walked over to the lifeless robot and looked over him.
"Dude, she got you good." He said, with a smile playing with his lips, trying not to laugh. Suddenly Cyborg grabbed his leg, and was about to fling him across the room but of course, raven was to quick for him, and with her psychic powers, she flung another plate at his hand.
"AAAAAAAA, WHAT ARE YA TRYIGN TO DO KILL ME!" he screamed, and let go of beast boys leg before the plate hit him.
"Excuse me, but your are breaking all the plates raven, may you please fling another inanimate object at Cyborg besides the china, especially the good kind." Starfire said loudly.
"Can we please go to the beach already, I'm getting tired of fighting someone who has a lot to learn about something he does not posses, skill."
"I have skill!" said Cyborg getting up, walking to the couch to get his things.
"Lets just go and do the dishes later." Robin said, putting his plate in the sink. They all agreed and went to the couch, gathered their things and left. Since beast boy, raven, Starfire and Cyborg could fly, someone had to carry robin.
"Ok, which one of you is it gonna be this time." They all had an idea of who should be the one to carry him to the beach, and stared at her earnestly.
"Um, I will do it robin, that is if you do not mind?" she said in coyness.
"Thanks, at least some people have the decency to do something nice for someone else, unlike a few I know."
"oh shut up, ya know ya want it to be her so quit whining." Said Cyborg sarcastically. Robin bushed and knew his statement was true, but tried to hide it.
"No its not that, I mean not like that, im just saying she is the only one here with a heart."
"Ya whatever." Beast boy said knowing that was just a fluke. They all took off leaving the two behind, expecting them to catch up. Robin walked over to Starfire and picked up her stuff and his, then she picked him up by the underarms and flew up to the pretty blue sky going as fast as she could trying to catch up with them. they had flown for around five minutes when they finally got to the beach of their choice. They landed in a nice spot, and since it was like nine in the morning, it wasn't that crowded so they set up a nice little spot for themselves.
"This looks like a cool spot, its by a palm tree, so we got shade, and I take it you will be the one occupying that space" robin said gawking at raven.
"Wow, psychic." She said, she brought her chair over and set it up, sat down and pulled out her book.
"Ya ok whatever, are we gonna play or what?" said beast boy. The others ignored raven knowing she would have done that anyway, and went over to a spot to set up the volleyball net. Cyborg and beast boy put up the poles, and robin and Starfire put up the net.
"So, who's gonna be one who's team this time." Beast boy asked. The others pointed their attention to robin and Starfire, then with a smirk careless smile on his face Cyborg said.
"Well, that settles it." Beast boy and Cyborg went over to the right side of the net while leaving the other two on the left.
Hooray! I get to be on robins team!
Cyborg had the ball, and started throwing it up and down.
"Are you two ready to know what its like to eat sand?"
"Hey why are you talking to yourself?!"
"Oh so you think I'm gonna be eatin it, well your wrong!" Cyborg jumped up and spiked the ball, robin quickly dived for it, and hit it back up, then Starfire went up and jumped, she hit it back over and so the game continued. The serve went on for a while. Finally, after beast boy hit it far up to the other side, robin ran back, jumped and whacked the ball, then Starfire saw the ball falling to the ground, she quickly ran over and jumped to spike it, but she didn't realize beast boy was there, and slammed it into his face. He stood there for a sec, then said something anyone in his position would have said.
"Look daddy, I can count to three!" he held up five fingers and fell over.
"Oh my goodness, beast boy!" she ran to the other side and knelt down beside him and lifted his head up. Robin and Cyborg surrounded them.
"Dude, ya alright?" Cyborg asked, nothing. They saw his face had the shape of the volleyball indentions, lines everywhere.
"Oh dear, what if I gave him brain damage, maybe he does not remember us! What have I done!" suddenly he opened his eyes, looked up and said.
"Mommy, look at the pretty kiss, can I alien it?" Starfire smiled and gave him a kiss on the head, she knew he meant to say pretty alien, and kiss it. Robin started to chuckle with Cyborg, but when he saw that she had kissed him, he started to think to himself
man, I wish that would have been me, hold on a sec, what am I thinking! That could have given ME brain damage. I need to stop saying things like that!
Starfire lifted beast boy to his feet. She carried him over and sat him on a towel next to raven.
"Please watch him raven, he was hit with the ball, by me, tell him I am sorry." She walked away, and raven looked over to him and smiled for some reason.
"Starfire." she stopped and turned around, "It's no big deal, he doesn't mind, actually I'm sure he is used to it by now." She smiled at her, Starfire smiled back and continued to walk away.
"So, finally someone knocked some sense into you." She looked over at him, seeing him hold up his hand.
"Look, I have 5 fingers!" she looked at him like he was a baby who could talk.
"Ok, maybe she knocked whatever sense you had out off you." She gave him some Pringles, and saw that shut him up, she continued to read her book. Meanwhile Starfire walked up to the others and said she didn't want to play anymore.
"I wish to suspend our activity for I am a danger to my opponents." She said and started to walk off down the beach.
"Starfire, come on it was an accident." Cyborg said.
"Ya, remember what I was telling you on the roof top?" she remembered what he had said.
~"I am glad you enjoyed my presence. It makes me feel needed, but still, I am sure I was boring."
"Why do you always do that, you beat yourself over the head for things you claim to do but don't, you rarely mess up on anything, and when you do you go insane and choke yourself for things you don't deserved to be choked for."~
"I do remember but this was my fault, I do deserve to be upset with myself, I should have been more careful." She walked off further down the beach and pondered for a while. Cyborg and robin watched her walk away, and realizing there was nothing they could say to make her feel better, Cyborg went over and sat next to beast boy. Robin however, didn't like to see her sad or upset. He tried to think of something to make her feel better. She finally got an idea and walked the opposite way on the beach and started to look for something. Meanwhile Starfire walked further and further away, the beach was one of the longest they had in that area. She continued to reflect her memories of last night.
~"I am sorry, I knew I should not have bothered you-"
"Starfire, listen to me, you have never hurt me on purpose, laughed at me, annoyed me, or done anything to upset me, you are the coolest person I know, and I love spending time with you, you don't ever have to think you are lesser than anyone else, because to me.you are more than everyone, and believe me when I tell you that, cause I mean it. It.I.I hate to see you in pain, no matter what the form."
"Robin.thank you.you always seem to make me feel much happier than I appear to be most of the time, which might be surprising. When I am with you I feel at peace with myself, and."~
"Beast boy, why did you have to ruin it, I know you did not know, but still, much could have happened." She said to herself, thinking of when he ruined their moment of bliss. She continued walking and saw a small but pretty rock in the sand. She walked over and picked it up, and recognized it from the discovery channel. She was going to open it when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find robin staring at her smiling.
"Robin, hello." She said, still looking a little gloomy.
"Hey, are you ok now?" he said with care and concern.
"Well, I am still upset for hurting beast boy but I am beginning to feel better."
"Well, I have something for you." He had something in his hand, opened it and she found he had a pretty little sea shell. He handed it to her and she took it with fascination.
"Thank you robin, it is so pretty."
"I thought it would cheer you up."
"Yes, but why a seashell?"
"Well, it represents something. A seashell is from the ocean, and the ocean is peaceful. When I am with you I feel at peace with myself, like I'm home. And I know no matter what, nothing can ruin my time with you." She looked at him and thought he was the most wonderful thing in her life, she felt a tear come to her eye but pushed it back. She remembered about the rock.
"That is sweet of you, and now it is my turn to give you something." She pulled her hand up and gave him the rock.
"Uh, thanks, its cool." He had a puzzled look upon his face.
"This too represents something." He was still confused.
"On the outside is a hard exterior with many rough edges." she took her finger and pointed it at the rock, her finger started to glow, then a small skinny beam of energy struck the rock cutting it in half, robin was surprised thinking he might have gotten hit, but she was careful not to. He opened it and was surprised to see the inside, with beautiful swirly shades of green and blue, overlapping each other with shinny magnificence.
"On the inside, perfect and beautiful in every way, with no flaw in site." They looked one another in the eye trying to guess what the other was thinking. They both smiled and Starfire walked toward him and stood on the side of him. He didn't look at her, he stared forward, then she leaned up and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, then continued to walk back to the place the others were. He was wide eyed and turned around to watch her leave.
Holly crap, what just happened. She kissed me, I don't care if it was on the cheek or not, she still kissed me, why, maybe she was thanking me for the shell
He was happy and turned around and started to hum, making up his own little song, and walked back behind Starfire. They reached the others and saw that beast boy was finally up and about.
"Hey guys." He said, holding his heads slightly feeling the pain. They both noticed that the volleyball marks were gone.
"Beast boy, I am truly sorry for my actions, I promise to be more careful." She said worried he was still badly injured.
"No biggy dude, im fine now, well, maybe I could b a little better, but I was an accident, like ya REALLY wanted to hit me." Cyborg and raven lifted their eyebrows, beast boy turned to look at them, and a sweat mark fell down his face.
"AW COME ON!" he said angrily.
"What the hell did I ever do to you guys!?" Cyborg stood up and put his hand on his chin.
"Hum, lets see, there was that one time you were a squid in the bathtub and I walked in and you squirted that ink shit in my face and I had to spend 20 minutes trying to get it off turning my head into a raisin, the time you were mad at me cause I didn't want to play your stupid guessing game and you walked over and turned my game off when I was on the last level, and then there was a couple days ago you said one of my biggest secrets out loud to everyone, then that one time."
"OK OK! I get it, sorry for asking, now I know I haven't done anything to you!" he pointed to raven, she poked her head above her book and said.
"Lets see, there was the time I was reading one of my favorite books and you ran over to me to show me some stupid trick with your arms and knocked it out of my hand and it fell in the fireplace just before I was on the last chapter, then the time you."
"OH MY FREAKIN GOSH! EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES! AND YOU ARE GONNA PINPOINT EVERYTHING ON ME, ITS NOT LIKE YOU HAVENT DOEN ANYTHING TO ME!"
"Yes well guess what, you deserved it, and when you didn't we always made up for it, have you ever done that?"
"Ya, when your book went up in flames I gave you ten bucks to get a new one! "
"Excuse me but the book cost 35 dollars."
"Ya well, I was short on cash at the time!"
"Yes, and on a brain to."
"That's it!" he then transformed into a lock ness monster, went over to her and wrapped her up.
"Get off em you lock ness freak!" she yelled, he then flung her in to the water. The others looked at him like he was a psycho dead man and he turned back to normal and laughed!
"HAHAHAHAHA, OOPS! SORRY!" He said, not meaning it. they then saw a black figure rise up out of the water, she walked up to beast boy and said.
"Duck." He didn't understand and it was too late.
"Azarath Metrion Synthose." Suddenly a ball flew at his face once again and knocked him out harder than last time. They all ran over to him and tried to wake him up.
"DUDE, HELLOOOOOO! WAKE UP!" Raven walked over and picked up a towel to dry herself off and smirked at her accomplishment.
"Beast boy are you with us?!" Starfire said.
"RAVEN!" said robin.
"Look I know he did somethin ta really piss you off but seriously, he probably does have brain damage!" Cyborg said, they started to shake him and he woke up and once again said something stupid.
"Hey everyone, look at the stupid demon bitch over there, she's evaporating." Raven heard this and turned around to do something, then robin and Starfire stood up and gave her a seriously devilish stare. She stopped and gathered her things, then without saying anything, she flew off. The others gathered their stuff sadly and realized they couldn't carry all the things with only three people, one of which could not fly.
"Look, I'll carry beast man and his stuff, you guys stay here and watch the rest and I'll be back in like ten minutes." He said, flying off with beast boy and his things in his hands. Then robin and Starfire just sat down on their towels.
"Do you think beast boy will be aright?" she said concerned.
"Ya he always bounces back, and it's not like he hasn't been hit with anything like that before."
"Yes I am sure he will be fine." She looked down and stared at her pretty gift from him, and thought about why he gave it to her in the first place.
Why was it important to him to make me feel better, no one else had, I am so confused, he acts like he likes me but at the same time he does not, maybe this hole thing is in my head
"Robin, I wish to thank you for the shell, it was so very thoughtful of you, no one else would have given me such an item." He turned and looked at her with the same remark.
"Well, no one would have given me something like this either."
She's so smart, I never would of thought of that analogy for her, and she's the beautiful one, not me, and generous and cool and fun and everything I want in.
"Robin, I am a little disappointed about today, we were not here for very long and of course, someone ended up fighting, and I want to apologize for this, it never would have happened if i-"
"Don't start, it wasn't your fault, accidents happen, no one expects you to be perfect, I mean look at beast boy.uh.enough said." They both chuckled a little, and she had a slight smile on her face. Robin thought of something that might make her feel better, but at the same time get her mad, but he was willing to do anything to put a smile back on her face.
"Come with me Starfire, I've got somethin to show you." They got up and walked up to the water.
"How does the water feel?" he asked, she knelt down to check it and it was very cold, because of how early it was.
"It feels very chilly." She said.
"So, do you like ice?" she did not understand the connection but she answered.
"Well, in warm liquids I do." He looked at her and smiled, she looked back and smiled but still confused.
"Well." he walked behind her, "I'm glad you do...because you're gonna be one!" he picked her up and threw her in the water.
"ROBIN!" She yelled, and dropped her seashell in the sand. She flew into the water, and he jumped in after her.
"BBBRRRRRR! ITS-S-S S-O C-C-OLD!" She explained.
"Aw don't tell me Starfire's afraid of a little cold water." he smiled devilishly, she smiled back with the same look and splashed him in the eyes.
"Take that!" she said happily.
"Oh ya well take that!" he splashed back, then they got into a splashing contest for a minute or so and stopped from tiring their arms.
"So is that all you have got Mr. Pretty bird!" she said, robin was shocked for two reasons, one, he had never heard her make a joke like that before, and two, she called him pretty.
"Oh ya, well Mrs. Burnt fire, I got something for you, seriously come closer, I'm not joking." She swam close to him, he looked and smiled. He then jumped up and dunked her head under water. She came up gasping for air.
"Robin, that was not fair! You lied to me!" she said angrily but still having fun.
"Aw I'm sorry." He said, sounding serious but not meaning it at the same time.
"No, now you will be!" she jumped and dunked him under the water. He came up laughing.
"Now you're getting it!" she smiled and was having fun, but then she started to think, and robin asked what she was thinking about.
"Yo star, anything wrong?" he said concerned.
"Where is your rock?"
"Mine is on the towel, why?" she got a very upset and shocked look upon her face.
"Were is my seashell!" she swam over to the sand and got up and frantically started searching for it. robin was close behind her, but not looking.
"Starfire its ok I can get you another one." She was still running around like crazy trying to find it.
"No, that one was special! I need to find it!" she sat down and started to dig. Robin looked at her in complete baffled ness and walked over to her, knelt down on the left side of her, and put his hand on her shoulder, then saw she was crying.
"Starfire, why are you crying, its only a seashell, ill go look for another one."
"NO, I WANT MY SEASHELL! I DO NOT NEED ANOTHER ONE, THAT ONE IS SPECIAL, GIVEN TO ME BY YOU!" She was still tearing up and digging, when she came upon something, it was the shell.
"I found it!" she went over to the water and washed it off, held it up to her face and kissed it. Robin was completely shocked. Why was she doing all of that? It was a silly little sea shell, there are tons more, why that one? He walked over to her and turned her around and used his hand to lift her face up to his.
"Starfire, it was just a sea shell, I could have gotten you another, probably one that looked just like it."
"No, this was the one you had given to me, and this is the one I want, no other can take this ones place." They stared at each other, neither of them smiling. Just looking into the others perfect face, Starfire still wondering what his eyes looked like under their. Her face seemed to get closer to his, she was trying to see if she could maybe see through the mask because it was cloth, but she found nothing. She saddened up and looked down.
"Well, I should go put the shell in my bag, maybe it will be safe there." She backed up a few steps and walked over to it putting her shell away. He followed behind her and sat down on his towel, she did the same. They then saw Cyborg returning with, surprisingly, raven. She looked mad still, but not like before.
"Hey, why are you two all wet?" he questioned in a funny tone.
"Nothing! We didn't get to go swimming so we thought one little dip wouldn't hurt." Cyborg walked over to him and whispered into his ear.
"So, did you two make out in the sand too!?" robin blushed and pushed him off, he just chuckled and went off.
"Let's get going huh." Cyborg said, walking over to the volleyball net and taking the polls. Raven said nothing and took the net and one of the bags. They flew off again, then Starfire picked hers up, robin picked his up, walked over to her and smiled.
"Hey thanks for dragging me everywhere, it must be annoying." He said.
"Not at all, id rather carry you than anyone else." They smiled, she picked him up by the underarms and flew off to their tower.
