"Goodbye my friends, and make sure you do not finish my macaroni and
cheese in the ice box." Starfire calls out, lifting up her heavy bag and
making her way towards the outside of the tower. Raven is accompanying her
on this one-week trip, at Robin's request.
"You owe me big time when I return from this hell." Raven whispers to Robin, glaring at him for being remotely nice enough to agree to the ridiculous proposal.
"Don't worry Raven. You guys will be fine. Besides, it's not everyday you can go see a concert featuring...ummm...here let me help you with your bag." Robin changes the subject, not wanting to upset Raven and make her change her mind. Him and the guys needed a break from the girls, and it was bad enough he had promised Raven his entire collection of horror movies just to seal the deal. She was a hard bargainer.
"Come Raven, we cannot miss this opportunity. If we do not hurry, we will most certainly not make it on time." Starfire yells out to Raven. Raven gives Robin one final glare before finally taking her bag and exiting the area. Robin smirks to himself, and dashes into the kitchen where Cyborg and Beast Boy are sitting at the table eating Star's macaroni and cheese. As soon as they see Robin enter, they give each other a high five, and continue eating Star's mac and cheese.
"Way to go Robin my man. You finally got the girls out. Now we can party all week long!" Cyborg smiles to himself and gets up to grab some expired milk from the fridge. He sniffs it and makes a gasping, repulsive noise.
"Dude, you look so goofy! Don't you remember that Star is the one that goes out and does the groceries? Looks like you're going to be in trouble for a while." Beast Boy laughs and points at Cyborg, mocking him in anyway to provide some entertainment for himself.
Robin leaves the kitchen, remembering when Star would bring in bags full of groceries filled with all kinds of strange things that turned out to be interesting tasting anyway. He was happy that it was just the guys hanging out, but he had a deep feeling, almost subconscious, that something would go wrong without Star being there. He couldn't really describe this feeling but he knew it was there. Could these be feelings of love? This was a question he would always find himself asking but never knew the answer to. Perhaps in time this feeling would sort out, but Robin couldn't think about that now. He had to hang out with the guys, who had moved to the living room and were playing video games now. He decided he wouldn't think about Star for a while but a thought here and there would pop up every now and then, so he chose to step outside. After all, a breath of fresh air could do wonders for people. He sits on the steps leading to the entrance of the tower, and gazes out into the setting sun.
"Wow, that's a cool sunset. It's so bright and beautiful. Like Star...I mean..." Robin smacks his head lightly to try to get these thoughts out of his head. "What am I saying? It's almost as if...oh man I'm so confused."
He clutches his head and gives it a little shake. He didn't want to think about Starfire but he couldn't help it. She was so innocent, so optimistic. Her bright cheery composure always gave him the comfort of knowing that things would turn out all right. But now she was gone. As Robin stares out at the sunset, he glances at the beach and thinks he notices a figure lying near the shore. He squints a little to confirm his notion, and finds that he is right. He scampers down towards the sandy area, and to his alarm finds a young girl, around his age with hardly any clothes on, unconscious. He gawks at her unintentionally but finally snaps out of his trance, and picks her up in his arms.
"Wow, she's quite light. Well this will make it a lot easier to get her into the tower." Robin thinks to himself, believing her to have been injured as a bystander from some kind of disaster. He couldn't help but notice that he kept staring at her for some reason, and it wasn't hard to guess why. Her long golden blond hair flowed naturally past her shoulders, strands fluttering in the wispy wind; her body seemed to have a natural golden aura that enveloped her; and she had thin strips of white ribbons wrapped around her body. She seemed to have come directly from the sun.
Robin breaks away from his trance again, and heads up to the tower, gently cradling her in his grasp. He bursts through the door, and the alarm causes Cyborg and Beast Boy to look up from their game to see what the commotion is. They are startled to find a beautiful girl in Robin's arms, and they immediately encircle him to get the juicy details, but Robin's face is stern and Cyborg and Beast Boy back away to give Robin some space. Robin strolls to the couch, and softly situates the girl on to it. She still doesn't rouse, so Robin leaves her alone and walks to where Cyborg and Beast Boy are motionlessly gaping at her. It seemed she had an effect on everyone.
"Dude! Where did she come from? She's so hot!" Beast Boy mutters as he prolongs his staring. His eyes don't even blink for some time.
"Yeah Robin, I know I said we would party but I didn't mean this early. You little animal...and here I thought you had feelings for Star but-- " Robin gives Cyborg a nasty glare, and Cyborg quickly shuts his mouth. He then turns his attention back to the girl, staring at her with suspicion. "So then where did you find her?"
"She was down by the beach, probably tried to escape from some kind of disaster, but I haven't been able to ask her yet. She was like that when I first found her."
"Don't you think we should call the police to see if she's been missing for some time?" Cyborg asks, watching Robin's expression at the thought of his idea.
"I think we should just wait until she wakes up. Then I'll consider it." Robin strides up the stairs to his room and closes and locks his bedroom door. He falls on top of his bed and lies on to his side. "Who is this girl, and why do I have such strong feelings for her? It's like I've known her for so long..." He covers his hands on top of his eyes, and slowly falls into a deep sleep.
"You owe me big time when I return from this hell." Raven whispers to Robin, glaring at him for being remotely nice enough to agree to the ridiculous proposal.
