"AAIIIEEEE!"
Starfire hurtled into the room, starbolts blazing. "What is it? Who dares alarm my friends? Cyborg, are you undamaged?"
Cyborg was perched on the couch, staring in horror at the television. "The – the – geh."
Starfire tilted her head and floated up to examine the television. "I see nothing amiss. Is it this . . . 'SuperSilent Blender 2000™' that alarms you so?" A movement caught her eye. She looked up and spotted a strange eight-legged creature. "Oh! What is this? A . . . hidden camera? From Slade, perhaps! Oh, Cyborg, thank goodness you spotted it! I shall bring it to Robin directly!"
"No – it's – it's a – it's a spider," he said with revulsion.
Starfire leaned in to inspect it more closely. "Ah! So it is! Silly me." She smiled and poked it. "How adorable!" She heard him make a sound behind her and she turned around, beaming. "I see you are speechless as well. It is quite fascinating. But you must be used to seeing these spiders, yes?"
Cyborg opened his mouth long enough to spit out, "I hate spiders," before clamping it shut again.
Her face fell. "Oh. But I hear that they are beneficial . . . ." She turned again and picked the spider up tenderly. "And this one looks very much like the l'kofgas of my planet. This one is much smaller, however. Is only as large as my palm . . . but it is just as furry!"
"Heeere, spiderspiderspider! Heeere, spiderspiderspider! Oh, hey – you found Spidey!" Beast Boy bounded into the room. "Thanks, Star! I owe you big time. He escaped from my room."
As Starfire handed the spider over sadly, Cyborg asked in disbelief, "You . . . keep spiders in you room?"
Beast Boy snorted. "Shyeah. Where else would I keep them? In the bathroom?" He snickered at the thought, but stopped in mid-laugh. "Oh, crap. That must be where I left Octavius!" He darted out of the room, first spider in hand.
"I think I'm gonna be sick," Cyborg moaned.
