"Friend? Why do you not eat?" I looked up into Starfires bright green eyes.
"Not hungry," I replied and rolled over in my bed.
"You haven't left your room for halve a day." Raven informed me. Raven and Star had mutually agreed to put their differences aside, temporarily of course, to find out what the hell was wrong with me. I didn't even know what was wrong with me.
"What is troubling you so?" asked Starfire softly. I sat up and looked up at my friends.
"What will happen when the Titans are over?"
"What?"
"When were over. When the city doesn't need or want us anymore." Star and Raven exchanged troubled glances.
"I...." Star looked to Raven for support. Raven cleared her throat.
"Naomi, we don't know what the future holds, but trust me, we will always be there for you." I looked up at them.
"We promise," Star added. I reached up and hugged both of them.

I giggled as the defeated troops returned after there one night in the wilderness. Robin had mud smeared all over his face and Beastboy had twigs and leafs sticking out of his hair. Cyborg had a huge dark circle under his one eye.
"Wow!! You guys look like you had fun!" I said sarcastically as BB collapsed on the floor in front of me.
"So hungry.... cant....move."
"Oh yay! Is he going to die?" I asked Robin hopefully.
"Hey!!" Beastboy exclaimed indignantly from facedown on the floor. I knelt down next to him and started pulling the twigs from his hair. Then the boys exploded into argument.
"Well we would have been just fine if BEASTBOY DID'T SCARE ALL THE FISH AWAY!!"
"DUDES! I was SAVING the fish! You guys were going to eat them!!"
"We were supposed to eat them, stupid!! Oh and what about when kept us up all fucking night!?!?!"
"I SWEAR I saw something! It was big foot or something! I saw its foot prints earlier!"
"Dawg, those were my foot prints!"
"Oh."
"Yeah Cyborg, like its ALL his fault, you couldn't even start a fire!"
"Those matches were defective!"
"You the one who's defective!"
"You just retarded."
"You all are retarded," I said brightly as I walked away from the guys squabbling.
"BOYS ARE BACK!!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. Star rocketed out from the kitchen.
"They have finally returned?"
"Yup. And look how much fun they had!" I said happily as I gestured to them. Cyborg had Beastboy in a headlock while the elf was pulling Robins hair.
"Pulling Robins hair? Wow BB, you really know how to stick it to a guy." I said grinning as I walked over to them. I pried Beastboy from Cyborgs angry grip.
"Don't chu be hurting muh little green elf, home boy." I said dragging BB away.
"Come friends! I have prepared a feast to celebrate the return of our friends!" Stars voice loomed from the kitchen. I turned to BB.
"I think we still have time to escape," I whispered.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I glanced to a defeated looked Beastboy across the table. Starfire had caught us and dragged us back to the table.
"Good thing I located you before you accidentally left, you might have missed the dinner!" she had said as she had pulled Beastboy back inside from the doorway. Lucky us.
"Here friends," Star said happily placing various dishes on the table. "I prepared the favorites of my planet." I looked down to my plate. I picked up a fork and cautiously poked the squid like animal lying on my plate. It shivered and squirmed. I shrieked as fell backwards out of my chair.
"STAR! It's still moving!!"
"Well of course, silly Naomi!" She giggled. When she turned around I empted my plate of "food" into the trash can. Beastboy grinned at me. Star turned back around and saw my empty plate.
"Naomi? Were did your food go?"
"Yeah Naomi!!" BB said laughing, "Where DID it go?"
"I ate it." I informed her. "I was super hungry."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I flipped through my Glitter magazine for what seemed like the hundredth time while Star lied next to me. I finished reading the page.
"Ready?" She nodded and I turned the page. This went on for some time, but Star eventually lost interest. She got up and started to pawed through my make up.
"Uh, Star? Are you sure you want to do that?" I asked, remembering what had happened the last time Star had experimented with my "appearance enhancers". She had ended up looking like a clown from my nightmares. I shivered, I hate clowns. Clowns are freaks of nature. Star laughed as if I was being silly.
"Of course I do!" She said as she smeared black eyeliner on her lips. I buried my face in my bed sheets so she wouldn't see me smile.
"Black eyeliner on you lips looks great on you Star," I said through the sheets. Suddenly Ravens voice echoed from down stair.
"Naomi? You might want to look at this..." I glanced up to Starfire who looked just as confused as I did. I shrugged and we when down stair to the living room where Raven was arguing with BB and Cy, insisting they had to get off the video game they were playing.
Raven looked up at me with a funny expression on her face, clutching plain black videotape in her hand.
"What's up?" Asked Robin as he entered the room, "And.... Star? What's on you lips?"
"She's trying to Goth," I lied to Robin.
"What is this 'Goth'?" Ravens voice cut into our conversation
"Naomi, I..." She looked at me nervously, "I just got this video tape from the police station. You... might want to see it...alone."
"But Raven! I believe a good marriage should be based on honesty and trust!" I said, grinned at the thought of us all being married to each other.
"Naomi, I've seen this tape. I really think-"
"Oh come on! I think we all should be able to trust each other." I snatched the tape from Raven who rolled her eyes, knowing in a few minute I would wish I had listened to her. This tape doesn't look so special, I thought as I put it in the VCR and started to rewind it. Everyone sat down on the sofa as if we were going to watch a movie.
"Shall I make popcorn?" Asked Beastboy. Raven glared at him. The tape clicked to announce that it was done rewinding and I pressed play. I sat down on the sofa next to Beastboy. A news casting set appeared on the screen.
"Ok and 3 2 1 and were rolling."
"Good evening. This is Hank Day and Susan Moor," the anchor behind the new desk. I looked to Raven but she gestured back to the TV, telling me to keep watching. I looked back to the screen where Hank was telling everyone about a sports game that had taken place.
"The Orks led the 31-12, but-" his sentence was cut off by a shriek from the woman anchor next to him.
"Cut! Susan, what's wrong?" Asked her concerned coworker. Suddenly the entire news desk was coated with ice. My heart skipped a beat. Oh god. No...
A very distraught looking Ice entered the screen.
"Now," he commanded the news crew, "Dis b' Icys show. Camera, don' stop rolling if you b' wanting t' see tomorrow." The camera people must have wanted to see tomorrow because the tape continued. He turned and smiled a cute lopsided smile at the camera.
"De camera love Ice, non?" He asked the female anchor. In spite of the situation, she giggled. Ice was right; girls do fall for him easily. He looked into the camera.
"Naomi." He said firmly. He looked into the lens of the camera as if he was looking for me. "Naomi, please," this time he was pleading, "you b' hurting Ice so mauvais, so mauvais."
Dear fucking god. He was poring his heart out to me on T.V.!! What was he trying to do?!?! Be romantic or some shit?!? Or embarrass me to no end!
"You are de only one. You are mon ange doux. De only one." He smiled sadly, "I remember how you glare at Ice." He laughed softly, "How you insult Ice, you b' de only fille dat has seen past my charm, t' de real me. De criminal. De real Ice. And I hope you can love me anyway."
His eyes when wide with pleading, "Icy sorry he have t' tell you like dis, but...you won't listen t' me any oter way." I was gripping the sides of the sofa so hard, my knuckles were turning white. Well, whiter than usual.
"Je t'aime." He whispered to the cameras. "I never told anyone dat before, but I love you." With that he bid good day to the news crew and calmly walked out of the building. The news crew slowly rose to their feet.
"Holy fucking god." One whispered. "We got us a story." Then the screen when blank. We all sat there unmoving.
"But... we have the video tape right?" whispered Cyborg softly, "No one will ever know."
"We have a copy of the tape," Raven said cautiously, "The media has the other. Tomorrow it will be all over the new." Robin when ballistic.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
There was explosion of hundreds of cameras going off as I held my head high. I marched stiffly with a firm frown on my face as I stormed to the podium to address the city. The room when silent, all wanting to see what I had to saw about the news hijack. I shrugged,
"What can be said? He's a lunatic." With that I marched right back down from the podium. There was a moan of disappointment from the crowd; they had all wanted a juicer story. As I walked off to find Raven, Special Agent Calvin rushed up to the podium to explain how Ice had escaped. I already knew how he did it. I knew for days he could just use his melted Ice powers to flood the room, causing the mechanical lock to go fazzizle, but strangely, I didn't do anything about it.
My face felt funny, like the corners of my mouth had weights on them, like my face was going to fall off. Raven came up to me and did a very rare thing. She put one arm around my shoulder.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay." Suddenly a small group of reports ambushed us.
"Oh my god! Are you and Raven lesbians?"
"Naomi, is it true you and Ice have had sexual relations?"
"When did you and Raven get together?"
"Did he rape you?" I backed up in horror. Rumors of Ice and I were spreading like wildfire! And what was this about me and Raven being lesbians? Raven glared daggers at the group and led me away from them, and we took to the air.
"Rumors," Raven spat with venom, "People just LOVE to spread them." Then her expression softened,
"Don't worry about that, we ALL have had nasty rumors about us." She started listing them; "Robin and Beastboy were supposedly lovers at one point. Someone said that I slept with Robin to get on the team. Also, Starfire was a supposed transvestite. But the best one was about Cyborg." I giggled,
"What was it?"
"Well, people started saying he was a machine 'down there'."
"Are you serious? The thought he had a mechanical..."
"Yeah." I giggled insanely.
"Wait, dose he?"
"I'm not asking."
"You know I will."
StArRy- Oh no!! Were closing in on the last three chapters!!! Oh no!!! Well, review!! I want to take a vote, who should Naomi go out with, Ice or BB? It obvious she has feelings for both of them. Tell me in your review!!!
"Not hungry," I replied and rolled over in my bed.
"You haven't left your room for halve a day." Raven informed me. Raven and Star had mutually agreed to put their differences aside, temporarily of course, to find out what the hell was wrong with me. I didn't even know what was wrong with me.
