Ch. 6

The Tamaranian Rite of Sexual Discussions

There was a brief clatter of dishes, and Starfire turned away from the kitchen sink with a sigh.

'Oh why…why was I so mean to them?' She thought to herself remorsefully, unlacing the apron strung around her waist and setting it on the kitchen counter, 'I was wrong to throw Cyborg, Beast Boy and Robin out. Oh…what should I do?'

A sudden gurgle answered her question. Starfire gave an 'eep' of surprise.

"Who is there?" She asked nervously, looking around. There was an odd slurping noise nearby, and a hefty-looking purple and white worm crawled onto the counter and babbled at her happily.

"Silkie!" Starfire exclaimed, picking up the bug and hugging him joyfully, "Oh, I am so happy to see you, my little bungorf!"

"Grrraaaaaaaawwwwww," Silkie responded happily.

Starfire giggled at him, but then her face became downcast once more.

"It is just no use," she murmured, stroking her favorite worm on the head, "I am unable to overcome my sadness for the boys."

Silkie looked up at her with his beady little eyes as if to say "It's ok Starfire, I still love you!"

Starfire sighed and floated past the microwave-which was now just a pile of smoldering scrape metal-over to the large windows in the living room. Still clutching Silkie in her arms, she gazed out at the cerulean-colored ocean stretching out before her pensively.

"Perhaps Raven will know what to do," Starfire said aloud at last, looking down at Silkie for reassurance. He only cooed at her again, but he probably meant to say, "It's worth a try Starfire."

---------------------------------------------------------

Raven opened her eyes slowly, as though she had been in a deep slumber. In a sense, going into her mind was exactly like that-a deep sleep. As she sat up, the Goth saw her hand mirror lying on the carpet nearby. She picked it up gently and stared at her pale, simple reflection.

'I need to find her,' Raven thought, standing to her feet and placing the special mirror on her nightstand, 'whatever Dreamweaver and those other emotions are planning…I've got to stop them.' She almost laughed aloud at the thought of that. 'Oh come on Raven…what's the worst that three renegade emotions in my head can do?'

A sudden knock at her door interrupted Rave's thoughts.

"Uhh…who is it?" Raven asked apprehensively, approaching the door. 'Well duh Raven,' she thought to herself naively, 'it can only be one person.'

"Raven?" Starfire's muffled voice called from behind the door, "may we talk? I am…distraught."

"Why Starfire?" Raven asked in an unusually concerned tone.

"It's…it's about the boys."

Raven placed a hand on the door and opened it partly. There Starfire was, her hands clasped together, looking very troubled indeed. Silkie poked his head into the cracked door and wormed his way into the room eagerly, but Raven paid no attention to him.

"Sure," the Goth said at last, opening her bedroom door all the way and forcing a cheerful smile, "let's…talk."

"Thank you," Starfire said, curtsying quickly before entering the room. Raven shut the door behind her, plunging the room into an even deeper darkness.

"Um…Raven?"

"Yeah Starfire?"

"Can we please have some more light? I do not like the darkness…"

"Oh…sorry about that," Raven said, flicking on the light switch. A few dim lights flickered on overhead and hummed constantly. Starfire, who looked relieved, walked over to Raven's bed and picked up the two purple pillows lying on the comforter. Silkie popped his head out from underneath the mattress and growled happily. Raven watched Star interestedly as she walked to the center of the room and set the pillows down, about five feet apart.

"Please, sit," Starfire said timidly, gesturing to the cushions.

"Ok," Raven said unsurely, walking over to one pillow and sitting on it. She had to admit, they were pretty comfortable. Starfire smiled at her again before taking a seat on the opposite pillow. A momentary silence followed.

"So…what do you want to talk about?" Raven asked at last.

"Raven," Starfire paused, "Oh yes! I almost forgot."

She reached down and pulled off her purple top, revealing her bra-less chest. Raven slowly cupped a hand over her eyes and said flatly, "Starfire why did you feel it necessary to do that?"

"Oh," Starfire said, tilting her head questioningly, "you do not know of the Tamaranian rite of sexual discussions?"

"Not really, no," Raven said dryly.

"Well Raven, when females on Tamaranian discuss their romantic feeling for the males they must discard all articles of clothing on their bodies. It is believed to help in relieving much of the stress commonly associated with such talk."

"Really?" Raven said neutrally, her hand still covering her eyes, "well Starfire, that's not how we really do it here on earth. And I thought you said you were 'distraught', not horny."

"Yes," she replied, sighing heavily, "I am that too. I feel a heavy guilt for what we have done to our teammates."

"Star," Raven said, uncovering her eyes for the first time and looking directly at Starfire, "it was nothing really. All we did was repay them for being so disgusting. It's what girls do."

"Raven," Star said curiously, "do you not like Beast Boy?"

The question caught her off guard. Shifting nervously on her pillow Raven replied, "No…yes. I guess…maybe a little bit."

"Well Raven, on my planet when a boy dreams about a girl-as Beast Boy has done- it is a sign that he is madly in love with her."

"Really?" Raven said skeptically, cocking an eyebrow and grinning, "I thought it was just hormones."

Starfire laughed happily. "This is sometimes true as well. Please Raven do you not wish to partake in the Tamaranian rite of sexual discussions?"

"No, thanks," Raven replied in her monotone voice, her face growing serious again, "I prefer to keep my cloths on."

"Very well," Starfire replied, her expression remaining upbeat, "but I must complete the ritual by taking off my pants."

Raven sighed and rubbed her temples. This was going to be a long talk.

Hmm, breasts. Oh...sorry! I'm not perverted really (if you can believe that!) Review, hehehahaha!
