Dear diary,
Even though I have lived in Earth for so long, I sometimes feel as though I don't belong. These customs are strange. What is this 'Mistletoe' I have heard Cyber speak of? Wouldn't it hurt to have a Missile on your toe? I will go ask Robin.
"Robin?" I said.
"Yeah, Star?" Robin said.
I then asked, "What is mistletoe?"
Robin rubbed the back of his neck, "Uh… you see Star… A mistletoe is a plant that you hang up around Christmas time… and when two people of the opposite gender stand under it they… uh…. Kiss…"
"What is Christmas?" I asked him.
"You never heard of Christmas?" He sounded shocked.
I shook my head, "On my planet we don't have a 'Christmas'."
"Oh" he said, "Well Christmas is a holiday where you get presents from Santa. The night before Christmas, you have to go to sleep early or Santa won't come. Christmas day is always on the 25th of December. The holiday is also a time to spend with your family and friends." He explained.
I nodded, "Who is this 'Santa' you speak of?"
"Well…. He is a fat, jolly, old man… dressed in red and white…. Uh… big white beard… sleeps all year long until Christmas time… he goes through the chimney to place the presents under the Christmas tree"
Once again, I nod my head, "Thank you, Robin"
He smiles at me. "No problem, Star."
I can always trust Robin to explain things to me when I don't understand. He never gets annoyed when I ask him questions… if he does, he doesn't show it.
Bee came over the other day. She stayed over, too. She is really cool! When I met her, I knew we would be the best of friends. I and Bee are already going to go shopping at the mall of shopping later on.
Ding! Dong! (That was the door)
(Cyborg opened the door)
(Bee was there)
"Hi, I'm Starfire. Will you be my friend? What's your favorite color? What's your name?" I said this in one breath.
"Sure. Yellow. Name's Bumblebee." She said.
I gave her a bone crushing hug.
"Starfire… you… are… crushing…me" you said in between gasps.
"Oh! I am sorry!" I said letting go of her.
"That's alright" she assured me.
I then asked her, "Later would you like to go to the mall of shopping with me?"
"Sure!" she agreed.
Oh, Raven told me a secret! Can I confide in you not to tell anyone, if I tell you? Good! Well, last night, when Raven and me were doing a girl's night, she told something really, really juicy! And I can't keep it bottle up any longer! I hope I can count on you to not tell anyone. Well here I go… any day now… Raven likes Beastboy! No lie, no lie! She said those exact words!
Last night
"Starfire?" asked Raven.
I replied, "Yes?"
"Can you keep a secret?"
I nodded.
"Okay. If I tell you this, you have to promise not to tell anyone!"
"I promise."
"Okay… well…"
"Yes?" I urged.
"I sort of like Beastboy."
"Yes, he is a good friend…"
"I mean… I like Beastboy… More than just a friend…"
My eyes got wide, "You have the feelings for friend, Beastboy?"
She nodded, "I think I might."
"Oh this joyous, friend" I exclaimed, "Why do you not want Beastboy to know?"
"Are you kidding? He doesn't like me… if he found out… he would laugh."
"I don't believe he would."
She stared at me, long and hard, and then she commanded in a serious strict tone, "Whatever you do… Do not tell Beastboy… what we just discussed."
"Yes, Raven."
"Good."
She never said I couldn't tell you. So I am not really disobeying her, am I? I am very clever.
Tonight is movie night! And it is my turn to pick the movie!
Oh, I must depart now. My friends are calling me, we are about to start Movie night!
Farwell, friends!
The one and only,
Starfire!
