Dinnertime for the Titans. As we all sat down I excitedly told everyone
about my powers.
"Glorious!!"
"Well all right!"
"Slade doesn't stand a chance!!"
"Slade?" I asked looking at all of them.
"You know," Beastboy said unconcernedly, "Evil madman bent on taking over the world."
"Let me guess," I said grinning, "And he would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids." They all stopped what they were doing and stared at me. "Never mind." I said quickly.
"So, its was your turn to make dinner, Raven, what did you make?" asked Robin Raven glided over to the table and dropped four TV dinners on the table and left. I poked at one suspiciously.
"Its still frozen," I said critically, "Lets just order pizza."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After dinner we all, even Raven, sat down on our soft red sofa, to watch TV on our big screen. I didn't know any of the shows that were on, but I watched them anyway. One show was particularly funny, what did Cyborg call it? I think it was called... I don't know... something about a hat? Oh well, I liked it, it was funny. After it was over, Robin felt he had assert his manlyness my surfing the channels for halve an hour. He finally rested one channel 34.
"And in further news, the Teen Titans will address the city about the new Teen Titan at 8:00 tomorrow. Little is known of her, but the city is anticipating-" click. The screen went black. Robin turned to me.
"We try not to watch ourselves on TV." He explained. Then he turned to the rest of the team. "Titans!! Bed! We have a big day tomorrow." I glanced at the clock, it was 9:54, but it felt so much later.
Chattering sleepily, Starfire and I went up to the bathroom we shared, and changed into our pajamas and brushed our teeth. Then I washed my face as Starfire brushed her hair, then I took the brush and she took the soap. Then we walked down the long hall and I knocked one each door on the way down to mine. I knocked on BBs.
"Night." I said to the closed door. He replied with just a sleepy grunt. I knocked on Cyborgs door.
"Night."
"Night." Cy replied. I walked to Robins door.
"Night."
"Till tomorrow."
"Night Raven."
"More or less," she replied through the door.
"Night Star," I said as we split to our different rooms. I walked into my room; stubbing my toe on all the things I never put way. I collapsed into my bed exhausted from my long day. I snuggled under my warm covers and fell asleep before I had time to worry about tomorrows address.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I sighed as I felt the hot water splatter on my bare back. It was 5:45 in the morning. A tragedy to be up at this hour. I had hoped my shower would relax me but I still had the sick to my stomach feeling from the time I had woke up this morning.
What if the city didn't like me?
What if I screwed up really bad?
What if, what if, what if.
"Naomi? Please do not use up all the hot H2O, for I have to bath as well." Star called through the door
"Sure Starfire," I replied turning off the shower knobs and stepping out of the shower. "I am so exited!" Starfire exclaimed as she walked off down the hall.
I sighed and grabbed my fluffy white towel to dry off. As I pulled on my cloths and smoothed out my skirt, I began to feel even uneasier. I wouldn't have to talk, would I? I had a fear of public speaking, and this was WAY beyond just getting up in front of a class and giving a report. Millions of people would be watching, and... judging me. Oh god... I blow-dried my sparkling clean hair strait, then I took extra care plaiting my hair into, my now, usual high pigtails.
I put my usual minimum amount of make up on; a little lip-gloss, a little mascara to enhance my metallic blue colored eyes, and a little bronze eye shadow to show off the silver flecks in my eyes.
I stood back from the mirror and inspected my face, taking note of every aspect. I tilted my head to see which was my best angle. Then I stood back from the mirror and looked at my face as a whole. I guess you could say I was pretty. Time to face the world. I pulled on my white boots and exited the bathroom.
"Star? I'm done!" I called through the hall.
"Thank you friend!" She said popping out of nowhere, making me jump.
"Star! Don't do that!" She hurried into the bathroom and I heard the sounds of her brushing her teeth. I walked to the kitchen. I was in desperate need of coffee. I was relived to find a pot already brewing. Thank god. I poured my self a cup.
I hate how coffee tastes, but what can I say? I'm addicted to it. I usually put tons of sugar and milk in it, Jessi used to tease me about it. She would tell people that I liked a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar. But I didn't know where they kept the sugar, so I just added milk. I drank it down, trying not to taste it.
"Your up early" I heard Ravens scratchy voice behind me.
I smiled, "So are you."
"Oh, I never went to sleep," She replied dully. I stared at her a little strangely. Ravens a strange one. But, hey, aren't all of us? I'm not exactly normal myself anymore.
"Hey, Raven, we should hang out sometime, like, away from the tower. Star told me you are always going to this little café, we should go sometime." She looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Yeah," she said slowly, "I could take you to The Gothic, you might enjoy some of the dark poetry, but of course, I'd have to pretend not to know you until you wear darker cloths."
At first I thought she was serous until I saw the corners of her mouth twitch, then I knew she was kidding.
"Sounds like a plan!" I said happily, helping myself to some more coffee.
"You are nervous." Raven said suddenly.
"How could you tell?" I asked sarcastically, pouring some milk into my cup. She looked over at me.
"You doubt yourself a lot," She observed, "But you shouldn't, you are by far the easiest titan to get along with." I guess that was a pretty big compliment coming from her.
"Oh, Raven stop all this flattery, your making me blush!" I said pretending to be embarrassed. The corners of her mouth twitched again.
"Woh!! For a second there I thought I was going to see an expression! But I guess it was just a false alarm." She allowed the smallest smile to penetrate her unhappy face. I felt someone's hands from behind me close in around my throat.
"I van to suck your blood!!" A voice hissed in my ear.
"Go away Beastboy," Raven said angrily. I laughed and pushed BB away. He shrugged and began bussling around making himself a breakfast of dry toast and soymilk.
"Oh yum." I said sarcastically as he sat down beside me, and dipped his bread into his soymilk.
"Want some?"
"Its tempting..." I said pretending to think about it, "But I'll pass." I reached over to a box of Titan –o's that was sitting on the table. I pored some of the brightly colored cereal into my hand.
"Awww, how cute!" I exclaimed, "There are little marshmallows in the shape of Ts!"
"AWWWWWWWW!!" Beastboy said in a high nasally voice mimicking mine, "AWWWWWWWW HOW CUTE!!" I threw my hand full of cereal at him.
"Hey!!" he said, as if that was uncalled for. Just then Cyborg walked in yawning and put in some sausage and eggs in the microwave.
"Morning, y'all," he said.
"Morning," BB and I said at the same time. Cy sat down and started eating some cereal while waiting for his breakfast to be done heating. I looked over to BB whose mouth was set in a firm line, glaring at Cyborg for going to eat so many animal products. I was going to cheer him up, but then I heard Robins voice coming in the door.
"And that's why human girls wear make up Star," he said exasperatedly, then he turned to me, "Um, Naomi, a little help here."
Dear lord... Star had gotten into my make up!!! She had lipstick smeared from her chin to her nose and gotten lip gloss on her forehead, and put my black mascara in her eyebrows. And to finish the look, she had gotten my bright blue shimmer eye shadow on her cheeks.
"I am still unfamiliar with the human concept of beauty," she explained, looking unsure, "Have I applied the appearance enhancer incorrectly?"
We all just sat there staring; sometimes the funniest things in the world take a while to sink in. Then the kitchen, except Raven, erupted in laughter. Even Robin tried to cover a smile, while Raven calmly sipped her coffee.
"Have... have I done something humorous?" asked Starfire weakly looking at all of us.
"No Star, here come with me," I said giggling as I pulled her out of the room and into a nearby bathroom. I wet a washcloth and started to wash off her make up. I didn't know anything was wrong until I noticed how low she hung her head.
"Star?" I asked. She looked up at me with tears in her bright green eyes.
"Oh no! No, Star! Don't cry!" I said, starting to feel really bad.
"Why did you and the others engage in meanness laughter?" She asked.
"No Star!! We weren't laughing at you! We...we... we were laughing with you!" I cringed at the lameness of my own excuse. She would never fall for that!
"Oh really? I feel ever so much better now!" She said brightly. I like Star and all, but she has a lot to learn about Earth. But at least she wasn't mad.
"Here Star, lets go up to our bathroom, I'll show you the right way to put on make up."
Back in our bathroom, I critically looked over Starfires face. I had done a good job. I had put a little shinny lip-gloss over her lips and used a little mascara to enhance her big green eyes. Maybe I had done TO good of a job. In spite of my usual character, I started to feel a little jealous. She looked great.
"Oh thank you friend!" she exclaimed as she wrapped her shockingly strong arms around me in a bone crunching hug. All the jealous feelings I had towards her a minute ago washed away. As we walked back into the kitchen I noticed Robins eyes follow Starfires every move. How cute!! They need to go out and be happy! I sat down a seat away from Robin.
"Sit here Star!" I exclaimed pointing to the seat next to Robin. Starfire sat down, blushing a little in Robin's direction. Robin smiled at her. I used my foot to scoot her chair closer to his. They both smiled at each other. No one was commenting one Stars make-up problem, Robin must have told them to shut up.
"Ok, Titans," Robin said when he was done making googley eyes at Star, "Time to leave." I felt my stomach drop. What would I say?
"Just don't worry about it," Raven said as the rest of the team stood up, "You will be fine."
StArRy- Wow! I'm almost done! The last few chapters will be out in a couple of days, until then, REVIEW!! Also, I will answer the question of why the TT don't go to school in my sequel. I actual have an entire chapter on it. So.... REVIEW!! Tell me what you think!
"Glorious!!"
"Well all right!"
"Slade doesn't stand a chance!!"
"Slade?" I asked looking at all of them.
"You know," Beastboy said unconcernedly, "Evil madman bent on taking over the world."
"Let me guess," I said grinning, "And he would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids." They all stopped what they were doing and stared at me. "Never mind." I said quickly.
