Clothing Dilemma

"Guess what guys?" asked Robin, entering into the living room where everyone was watching TV, well, except for Raven, who was reading a book.

"You sound excited, Robin." Starfire looked up from the TV.

"Robin, move, you're blocking the TV, we're watching Jackass," said Beast Boy, trying to look around Robin.

Robin turned the TV off.

"Dude!"

"We were watching that!"

"This is way better!" said Robin. "We got invited to an event at the Tilton hotel tomorrow night! Jump City is recognizing all the people who have made great contributions to the city. And we got invited! We're winning an award!"

"For what?" asked Beast Boy.

Robin sighed. "Beast Boy, we're superhero's. We've saved the city like a million times."

"And?"

Robin glared. "That's what the award is for."

"Oh," said Beast Boy. "Hey! Sweet! We get an award! So what is it? Gold statues of us?" Beast Boy was imagining a hundred foot statue of himself, in a heroic pose, rippling muscles shining while people gazed in awe.$$

"Well, no, it's probably just a plaque," replied Robin. "The only thing is, it's a very formal event, so we have to get really dressed up."

"Awwww," said Beast Boy.

Raven sighed. "We can't just wear our normal clothes?"

"No, suit and tie, evening gown, heels, that kind of thing."

"I don't do heels." Raven went back to her book.

"It's just for one night," said Robin.

"No."

"I don't even own a suit," said Cyborg. "I mean, I'm a machine, so, I kind of just run around naked."

"I'm pretty sure nakedness is frowned upon at these events," said Robin.

"Darn."

"We can go to the mall of shopping!" said Starfire.

"Is there going to be vegetarian dishes there?" asked Beast Boy.

Robin consulted a piece of paper. "There will be lots food, including organic and vegetarian dishes." Beast Boy fist pumped. "There will be an open bar, plus colas, sparkling waters, tea-" Raven perked up a bit over the edge of her book-"and there will also be a raffle to win a new car, and there will be a five hundred dollar gift card for whichever lady wins the best dressed award."

"Oooh! Raven, we must go shopping!" squealed Starfire.

Raven tried to make a portal to jump into to disappear, but Starfire was already grabbing her arm.

"Don't spend too much!" shouted Robin as Raven was dragged out the door.

"Heeeelllp meeeee!" they could hear Raven wailing.

At the mall, Starfire took Raven to a gown store.

"We must pick something fabulous to wear for the award ceremony," gushed Starfire flipping through dresses on a rack.

"Ugh, kill me now," groaned Raven.

Starfire picked out several dresses for them. Raven tried to grab a simple, plain, black dress, but Starfire ripped it from her hands, zapped it into a pile of ashes with the beams from her eyes, and swept the ashes under a shelf.

"Think girly!" shouted Starfire. "Think color!" She put her face real close to Raven's. Think…SPARKLES!"

She held up a shiny pink dress, covered in sequins, with a long leg slit, and a plunging neckline.

"No!" Raven shook her head. "Never! I will never wear pink!"

"You will love it!"

Starfire dragged Raven into a dressing room and began trying on dresses.

"Come on! We can model the dresses for each other and pick what looks best."

"I hate you right now."

"Try on the dress!" Starfire held out the pink shiny dress.

"It's horrible!"

"JUST TRY IT!" shouted Starfire.

Sulking, Raven took off her cloak and leotard and yanked the dress over her head.

The slit was too high and the neckline showed too much cleavage.

"Still hate it," said Raven, glaring at her reflection.

"Oooh! It's sooo pretty!" Starfire was wearing a pretty yellow dress that looked like a prom gown.

Raven was yanking the dress back off and balling it up. "I'm not a girl to wear pink sparkly dresses."

"You should totally wear it. If you do, you will turn the heads."

A small portal appeared in the dressing room and Raven flung the dress into it. "Ooops, did I do that? Oh, sorry, well it's gone, guess I can't buy it now."

Starfire glared.

Raven had no idea where she had sent the dress, nor did she care. Several hundred miles away, it appeared in a man's gym bag as he was changing into fresh clothes. Several of his workout buddies were with him, and as the man was reaching for a fresh shirt, he pulled out the pink skimpy dress.

"Uh, I have no idea how this got there," said the man, while his buddies stared.

In the dressing room, Starfire fumed. "You have to wear some kind of dress!"

After an hour of nagging, whining (Starfire), and moaning about how life sucked (Raven), a dress was finally chosen.

It was purple silk, with a slit that only went to the knee, and the neckline only showed modest amount of cleavage. It had silver thread along the edges that shone in the light. It had spaghetti strap sleeves that could be adjusted.

"I would still pick a brighter color, but that is a dress of gorgeousness," said Starfire. She had picked a brilliant turquoise dress with some buttons up the front that could be done or undone, depending on how much cleavage you wanted to show. Starfire mushed the side of her face up against Ravens in the mirror. "We look awesome. Now say 'Seeeexxxxxy!'" She whipped out her phone and took a picture of them both.

"No! Wait!"

But Starfire was already texting the pic to their team mates.

"Beast Boy say's 'Meeeooow!'"

Beast Boy had sent a pic of himself in cat form, meowing at the camera.

Raven sighed.

Next came shoes. Starfire found a pair of shoes to match her dress and she strutted down the aisle in them.

"I'll just wear my boots," said Raven.

A shoe lady was helping them out. "Those don't go with a gown."

"I'll be fine."

Starfire gasped. "She is the master of shoes! You must listen to her."

"I'm just filling in for someone else today," said the lady.

"Still, Raven, you must get a pair of heels."

Starfire insisted on a pair of sexy silver heels, with a four inch heel. Raven tried them on to see if they fit, and agreed, to shut Starfire up.

"Can we go now?" asked Raven.

"Under garments!" squealed Starfire.

"What?"

"If were buying a new gown and shoes, we should buy some cute panties and a bra!"

"Robin said not to over spend!"

"We will not," promised Star fire. "Just a pair of panties, and a new bra, maybe one with a wire of pushing up. Besides, you need something without the straps for your dress. You can't go around with your bra straps poking out.

Raven typically wore plain black bras and black boy shorts, but Starfire insisted on something a little different.

"Try something like this!" she said, holding out a pink thong. "No lines of panty!"

"No, I have no desire to floss my ass crack!" snapped Raven.

"Okay, how about these?" she held out a bright pair of purple bikini underwear, specially made to not show panty lines under clothes.

"Fine."

Raven found a matching strapless bra and Starfire bought a blue set.

The boys had gone suit shopping and there were some issues the next day.

"This looks awful!" moaned Cyborg, wearing a suit. "It just looks silly over my machine body."

"You look fine," said Robin.

"It's annoying!" said Cyborg. "It keeps snagging on my machine bits."

Beast Boy was tugging on his tie. "I hate this thing!"

"Stop! It took me an hour to pick the knot out that you somehow made in it!" said Robin. "And then twenty minutes to tie it properly because you kept fidgeting!"

Starfire and Raven came out, dressed.

Starfire had put her hair in a French Twist, and Raven had curled hers and put it up in a pony tail, and left a few curls out to frame her face. Starfire was wearing makeup. She had tried to force some onto Raven's face, until Raven threatened to transport her to another dimension.

Beast Boy's jaw hit the floor when he saw Raven. Raven blushed a bit and stared at the floor.

"Whoa, Starfire!" Robin gawped for a minute before pushing his eyeballs back in. "You're amazing!"

Starfire giggled shyly.

They drove in the T-Car to the Tilton Hotel, where the event was taking place. The ride was uneventful until Raven caught Beast Boy trying to sneak a peek down her dress.

They arrived, Raven tugging her dress upwards, and Beast Boy rubbing at a red mark on his face.

The event was full of people milling around talking. There was a back drop by one wall where the ladies could have their pictures taken, so the best dressed could be picked, so Raven and Starfire went and had their picture taken.

A snubby girl who went to the local high school kept coming around Robin and flirting. Robin became quite uncomfortable and Starfire was ready to laser beam the girl into a pile of ash.

"Skank," said Raven when they sat at a table to eat.

"I do not like this woman looking at my Robby poo!" pouted Starfire.

"It's okay Starfire," said Robin, "You know you're my one and only."

"It is the matter of the principle!" snarled Starfire, shooting death glares at the girl across the room.

A man came and made a speech at the podium, about the value of doing things for your city, blah blah blah. Beast Boy started to snore half way through the speech until Raven pinched him. Cyborg kept tugging on his suit.

People came up one by one to get an award for whatever they had done for the city. When they were done, they had to stand off to the side of the stage. The Titans came last and they each received a gold plaque and were thanked for saving the city multiple times from total annihilation.

"Now, everybody take a bow!" said the announcer.

Starfire ended up next to the flirty girl and they were shooting glares at each other. As the group came to the front of the stage to take a bow, the flirty girl stuck a foot out to trip Starfire.

Starfire tripped and flailed her arms. She ended up grabbing onto the nearest thing to try and keep herself from falling.

It was Raven's dress.

Raven heard a loud "rrrriiippp" and felt a cold breeze. Suddenly she realized she was standing, on stage, in front tons of ogling people, in a bra and skimpy panties.

Total silence.

"Oh no!" shouted Starfire, breaking the spell, realizing she was clutching the shredded remains of Raven's dress.

People stared. Some were laughing. Beast Boy had turned into a huge dog and was drooling and panting.

Raven, panicked, tried to cover herself with her hands. Starfire whirled on the flirty girl.

"You tried to trip me! You flirt with Robby poo all night and then trip me! THIS IS WAR!"

Starfire and the flirty girl began rolling on the stage fighting. Raven was trying to wrap the tattered dress around herself. She failed.

"Starfire! Don't kill her!" Robin was shouting.

The flirty girl was being strangled, her eyes bugging out.

"You-b-biittch…" she managed to get out.

"He is mine!" Starfire was shouting, looking enraged.

Beast Boy was suddenly naked by the table. His usual outfit was specially made, so he could transform from human and animal and vice versa, without ripping his clothes up. But the suit? Well lets just say the suit wasn't specially made. And unfortunately, Beast Boy didn't consider this before transforming.

Beast Boy was trying to cover himself up with a plate. Girls were laughing at his green bottom. Raven was dragging a table cloth off a table, her face beet red.

"Uh, sorry, sorry," said Raven, as plates and glasses went crashing to the floor. The guests at that table were shouting, as several wine glasses were spilled onto expensive gowns and suits. One lady was screaming that her five thousand dollar Gucci gown was ruined. Infuriated, Raven bitch slapped the lady.

"In case you didn't notice, I'm practically NAKED!" shouted Raven.

"Woohoo!" shouted Beast Boy.

Robin managed to drag Starfire off the flirty girl.

"Raven, get us out of here!" shouted Robin.

Raven made a portal and the Titans jumped into it. They landed in a heap at Titan Tower.

"I can't believe everyone saw me in my panties," whimpered Raven, clutching the table cloth around her. She looked positively traumatized.

Beast Boy stood up, naked, with a big grin. "I like those panties."

Whap! Raven's fist lashed out and Beast Boy was knocked out cold, in a crumpled heap by the couch, his green bottom sticking up. Cyborg looked up at the wrong moment.

"My eyes!" he screamed.
