Chapter 2: Plots and Explanations
"Uh, Star?" Robin interjected, "Who is Skye water?" He was not only confused, but he was also worried about his best friend. Whoever this guy was, he was obviously someone Star was scared of. "Take me inside" Sunny said, "All will be explained". Inside, a few minutes later, Sun water finished off the herbal tea Raven had shared with her. They were all sitting around the kitchen counter. Introductions had already been made, so Sun water knew everyone now. "Thank you, Raven" she said, "I find tea to be very soothing. It calms my nerves". "Works every time" replied Raven, "but tell us why you're here. What's going on?" Taking a deep breath before speaking, Sun water paused. "Okay" she began, "I have been flying for hours and hours. I came straight from Tamaran. I knew where you were, Star, because of all your transmissions, so I flew straight to Earth. I have a twin brother named Skye water. He's had...well...certain intimate feelings about Star fire ever since we were small" she said, blushing. Star blushed, too, and didn't look at Robin. "Anyway" Sunny went on, "Once we came of age for courtship, Skye started to pursue Star with everything he could think of. He asked her out, she refused, he asked her out again, she refused again, and so on. He was very persistent, but Star fire wasn't interested in courtship yet. My twin, at the time, was apprentice to a rich nobleman on our planet with a handsome salary. He would buy her things, try to impress her with his job, but nothing he tried worked. My brother doesn't handle rejection very well, and he believes, because he's rich, that he can do whatever he wants and take whatever he wants...by any means necessary!" Sun water was scared now, but so was Star fire. Robin disliked Sun's brother every minute. Sun shut her eyes tight, and continued, "It was only 12 Earth hours ago that I was visiting my twin at his master's house. As I was turning the corner while leaving, I heard him talking in secret with his friend. They were talking about a departure and" she said the next line quickly, "a plan to capture Star fire and illegally marry her!" She put her hands in her face so she wouldn't have to see their faces. "WHAT?" yelled Robin. "No way!" yelled Cyborg. "I don't believe it!" shouted Beast Boy, "Who would want to marry Star fire, anyway?" at which he was punched down on his head by Cyborg (that can really hurt, mind you) and Raven. Raven calmly (in a ticked off sort of voice) said, "Obviously, HE would", and Beast Boy sat there, holding his head, crying the squiggly Anime tear- streams. "As I was saying" continued Sun water, "I didn't know who he was talking about at first; but then I heard him say 'Star fire will be mine'. I started to get scared, but I stayed and listened. 'I will go to Earth', he said, 'and I will bring Star home, whether she will come willingly or not. I will knock her out and drag her by her hair all the way if I have to. Any friends she has found will feel my wrath. Any love she has found'" her voice trembled, and she started to cry "'will die under my star beams! None shall have her, save me alone. If she has found love'" she was staring into space, slightly huddled over now, "'he will no doubt make a foolish attempt to defend her against me. He will face me in combat, and I will eliminate him. She will mourn for him, no doubt, but I will wrench him from her grasp; I will tear him from her heart. He will lie there, dead in the despairing knowledge that he has lost. I don't care if she will come or not'" she finished, "'One way or another, Star fire will be my bride'". She closed her eyes and said, "After that, I decided I'd heard enough. So great was my fear; fear at my brother's madness, fear for you, Star, and fear that my brother would get himself into more trouble than it's worth. So, swiftly and silently, I shot off for Earth. Skye doesn't know I'm here, but if he finds out, I'm ready to face him". Star touched her friend's shoulder and said, "No, Sunny. This is not your battle, and from what you speak, it is not mine, either". "Well, whose is it, then?" asked Beast Boy, "From what Sun's telling us, one of us guys is going to have to fight her brother for Star..." and Cyborg added, "or else he's going to drag her off to her planet and make her an unhappy housewife". After a long moment of silence, Robin stood and said (in a rather torked tone of voice) "Star's not going anywhere; Skye water's mine" and with that, he left the room.
