It was a quiet Friday morning, with a strange mist hovering in the
air. Raven, Cyborg, and Beast Boy had left for a couple of days to attend a
conference in France, while Robin and Starfire stayed at the tower in case
anything should come up. Robin was in the living room, playing his routine
of video games while Starfire was sitting on the couch, catching up on her
reading on the fascinations of the ocelot. She stared incredibly at the
magazine pictures in front of her, the small but majestic ocelot posing a
cute laying position in the middle of a jungle. She looked up from her
reading momentarily to glance at Robin. She blushed at her action and
quickly put her face in her magazine again. Robin noticed a little but
pretended it didn't happen. He continued concentrating on the game, as if
it would be Judgment Day if he didn't win. As he inched closer near the end
of the game, the game noises started growing louder and louder. Starfire
lost her concentration and tried to regain it again, but the noises
continued to be louder and louder. She finally stomped off with a sigh and
threw her magazine on top of the coffee table before heading into the
kitchen. She grabbed a chair from the table close by, and slumped in it.
"It is not the same anymore. It is as if he is not interested in me. Perhaps I should bake him some cupcakes to please him?"
Her mind was cluttered with thoughts, both negative and positive. Well, maybe mostly negative but anyways, as her mind was racing through these thoughts, a soft knock was heard on the door. Peering through the entrance and noticing that Robin was too preoccupied with his game, she decided to answer the door. She sighed again and dragged her feet towards it. She heard yet another soft knock by the time she took hold of the door handle. As she started to turn it, she slowly formed a crack to see who the uninvited guest could be. From the looks of it, the person appeared to a young girl around Starfire's age, with long silky brunette hair tied into two braids. Her outfit consisted of a forest green vintage t-shirt and white skirt along with matching long stripped nylon socks and white Skechers. She was standing patiently at the door, occasionally glancing around the place every minute or two. Starfire didn't view her as a threat so she pulled the door open all the way. As soon as she did, the girl's expression changed from curiosity to sheer happiness. Her eyes glowed bright and cheerful and she suddenly hugged her in the doorway. Starfire at first thought that she was just being really nice but after a few minutes and a couple of skipped heartbeats, she finally gently pushed the girl off her. At this commotion, Robin at long last got up from his position and walked to the door. There he saw Starfire tired out and quite a distance away from the girl, who was still smiling at her, until she saw Robin and gave him a hug as well. He too pushed her gently away and stood next to Starfire, wondering who this weird girl was.
"Bonjour! Comment ca va? Je..." Her voice had a rich French accent.
"Whoa slow down! Now...what??" Robin was staring at her with disbelief, not only had he not known who she was, but he couldn't understand her either.
"Oh, I am sorry. I always forget that I'm suppose to speak only English in America because Americans are too lazy to learn other languages." She gave them both an innocent smile, as if what she said hadn't been an insult. "Alright lets start over. Hello! How are you? My name is Lune, and I am very happy to meet my American family for the rest of the summer!"
Robin and Starfire gave exchanged confused glances at each other. Was this some kind of joke from Beast Boy in France or something? They could only wonder as Lune made her way inside, admiring all the things around her. She especially liked the big screen TV, since it was the only thing she stared at for more than five minutes. Boy who would've thought a day could turn out like this.
