INSPECTOR: Hello everybody! I have to say that it's been an honor working with such a magnificent team of writers. And I just love how no one knows exactly how the story is going to go! So, before I began let's get the trivial disclaimer out of the way!
KYO: Yeah, yeah, yeah...The-Team-Titan-Writers, do not own a thing. All properties are awarded to D.C. Comics, and Cartoon Network. There, now give me my pocky!
Starfire flitted across her flat nervously. There was just so much to do. Work had been a nightmare! Poor Zane had called in sick, so Star had to make all the orders and found out that Jason was out on an extended delivery trip to Metropolis to pick up the rare Scarlett Pimpernel (A/N. Props to any of you who know this reference!) so the new delivery boy was late delivering her new flowers!
Then the bride who had ordered thirteen dozen white roses had changed her order for three hundred red azaleas by Tuesday!
And to add up to all the stress of today, she was going over to Vic's bar for the reunion…
Star had just hopped out of the shower and she had no idea what to do with her hair. She was slightly…concerned about what she was going to wear, but then she got that call from Nix and…oh it just made her so nervous!
Flashback
"H-hey Kori, what's up? Did Vic tell you about the reunion he was thinking of doing?"
"Hello Friend Nix! The ceiling is up of course. Haha. Yes actually Friend Vic told me and I think it would be most awesome to see all of you!" Star told her.
"Yeah? Yeah it'll be nice to see you and the others too." Nix paused for a moment, then said tentatively, "Actually I was just emailing Dick and he said he'd try his best to be there and that if I spoke to anyone I was supposed to tell them he missed them…"
When Starfire didn't respond Nix said anxiously "…sorry…that…I mean it probably wasn't the best thing for me to…anyways, just wanted to let you know that I also miss you and can't wait to see you and Vic, Raven, Gar, and Dick and all. Have a good night; sorry if my good for nothing neighbor woke you. Byeeee." Then the distinct sound of the dial tone sounded in Star's ear.
Star felt her heart speed up…she hadn't seen Dick since…and now…he…well he missed her…
End Flashback
Just thinking about it made Starfire shiver...what was she going to do with her hair! Ahh! She had brushed it…braided it…blow dried it…and she didn't like the look of any of them at all! Right as she had gotten out the scissors to settle her traitorous hair once and for all, she heard the device her friends called a "cell-phone" chime. She opened it to see she had a new "text-message" from Zane.
It read,
Boss,
Stop frking out about ur hair. Just pull the back up and curl your forelocks… A Dios Mio!
-Ur Employee
As she read Zane's text she could help but thank her Tamranian ancestors' battle axe for Zane's foresight!
As she did just that, a new dilemma hit her! What was she going to wear!?
She ran to her closet and began to pull out every last article of clothing that she had. Well maybe that purple dress…
Oh what was she thinking! There was far too much glitter on her purple dress!
She automatically threw it away from her…where it just so happened a passing pigeon who had been making eyes at a lady pigeon was thrown off of the thermal he had been riding, was hit by a sparkly purple swathe of fabric, and consequently encountered rush hour…at least he caught the attention of the lady pigeon.
Hmm…what could…ooh that was pretty…She pulled out a sleek little black number that she had bought in the spur of the moment…
Rae said that it hugged Star in a very feminine way! This would be sure to knock the socks off of Dick…but…she didn't want to come off too date-ish…
Argh, how stupid could she get! She was going to a reunion not a date at the club! The sleek black number joined the first dress as it flew out the window…
A hobo was crossing the alley when he was suddenly blinded by a cloud of black. Ah, it was the aliens again come to steal his brain! As he viciously attacked his own face, he realized that this wasn't like the electrical net that they had sent out for him the first time…it was rather…soft…
So pulling whatever it was that was on his face off, the hobo discovered that it was actually a silky black dress…
Hmm…now he had something to impress Grey the Box with… Whistling away happily the hobo walked off.
Pink! No, how about red? Nope to flashy! Um…that…brown one…with the holes…plastic wrap and a cracker…maybe the uh…uh…uh!
Why is this so difficult!? She just wants something that's cute, but not too assuming…something that showed she knew she looked good, but in an innocent way and then stated that she was friendly, innocent and pure…but without making her seem ditzy or like she couldn't take care of herself…something that screamed simplified sophistication and was the perfect thing to wear to a reunion that included an old flame that had made her know and experience the deepest flames of passion that any teenage girl with a beating heart could feel in a high stressed environment as they were left on their own in near death situations, and he would embrace her in those well-toned arms that would seem to make the world disappear in a warm and musky embrace that got that little heart of hers pumping blood so fast that her body couldn't keep up with her face…was it hot in here….really was such an outfit so difficult to find!?
Right as she was about to blast a hole through her entire wardrobe, she got another "text"…
Boss,
Just wear the d*mn white dress with the silver belt…with those white ballet flats…
-Ur Annoyed Employee!
Smiling at Zane's answer to her fervent prayers, Star quickly got dressed and walked outside…but just as she was about to…she saw some flowers she had set in a vase when she got home…white hibiscuses… Smiling, Star plucked one off and put it in her hair. Thus ready, she walked out, ready to see her friends and the boy—man now, who stole her heart.
On her way, she bumped into Jason…
The blonde smiled at her, "Hey Kori!"
Starfire smiled. "Friend Jason! I thought that you were out of town!"
"I was, but I just got back…would you…like to maybe get some dinner…" Here the blonde's smile turned shy "…with…me?"
Star's smile dropped. "I'm sorry Friend Jason, but I am meeting friends tonight? Maybe tomorrow?"
Nodding, Jason watched as Starfire walked off. Once she rounded the corner, Jason pulled out his cellphone and dialed a number.
"Sir, I was unable to acquire the target."
