Review Responses:
Kestrel: Glad you liked it. I like BB/Rae, so more of that will be there.
ExiledKnight: Yep, serious stories are good sometimes, and also fluff is good sometimes. I go for fluff more often though. Glad you enjoyed it.
BuhnanaMonkey: I'm glad you enjoyed the story. Yep, it's hard to keep in character sometimes. I have to rewrite some of the dialogue from time to time if I can't picture the Titan saying it. Thanks for the compliment.
RobinRox13: Glad you like it!

The Life Of the Titans
......................................................................
Breakfast was hectic as usual. Starfire woke to the sounds of mock kitchen battle in the common room. She quickly washed her face and brushed her hair, before heading out to meet the rest of the Titans for their morning meal.
"Happy mornings to you all! Who is to make the breakfast today?" Starfire smiled as she entered the common room, watching Beastboy and Cyborg trying to cook a meal together.
"It's Beastboy's turn, Star. Cyborg seems to want to interfere though. How'd you sleep?" Robin sat casually at the table, newspaper in hand. Starfire noticed that he hardly looked up when he spoke, he must be in the middle of a good article.
"I slept very well. How was your sleeping? Did it do well?" Starfire hovered close behind Robin, trying to see what was so interesting.
Robin shrugged. "No problems. Hey guys! Calm down in there! Frying pans cost money!" Robin suddenly got up to go break up a smallish brawl that had started in the other room. Starfire giggled at the boys, all fighting playfully in the next room. When she had first become a Titan, any argument made her worry about the friendship of the Titans. By now, however, she had realized that arguing kept some of them together. She smiled as Cyborg tried to explain to Robin that it wasn't his fault that the frying ban had been bent backwards. Suddenly she remembered the conversation with Raven the night before.
"Friends! I am going to go wake Raven now. I will return soon!" No one seemed to be listening to her, but Starfire still felt happy as she floated away down the hallway. ......................................................................
Raven's door, as always, was closed. Starfire listened closely at the door, trying to see if Raven was awake yet or not. Not hearing anything, she knocked anyway.
Raven jumped out of her dream as a sudden knocking began at her door. "Raven! Are you sleeping? I desire to speak with you once more!"
Raven rolled out of bed, not bothering to don her cloak if she was only to talk to Starfire. She walked groggily across the room, and opened the door. "I'm not asleep NOW, Starfire. What is it?"
Starfire smiled at her friend, who was looking quite disheveled. Her hair was pointing in many different directions, and her black costume was wrinkled from a night of sleeping. Starfire hugged her tightly. "I apologize for waking you! Come, I wish to talk!"
Raven couldn't protest as the alien closed the door and carried her over to her bed, sitting them both down. Raven began brushing her hair straight as she looked at Starfire expectantly.
"Raven, do you remember the conversation we had last night? The one about Robin and Beastboy?"
"Yes, Starfire. It was only last night. What do you have to say?" Raven's irritation at being awoken wasn't being helped by the tangle in her hair.
Starfire's smile faded slightly. "I was... unable to tell Robin how I feel. I wanted to say it, but my mouth would not." Starfire smiled once more. "Were you able to tell Beastboy? Surefully he was happy?"
Raven finished brushing the knots out of her hair and put the brush down. "No, Starfire. I haven't spoken to Beastboy about that. There wasn't a good time." Raven grabbed a towel and opened the door to her bathroom, hoping that Starfire would get the hint.
Instead, Starfire simply flew into the bathroom and stood talking to her anyway. "We must find some way to talk to them! I am not able to simply hide my feelings forever!"
Raven sighed, giving up the idea for a shower at the moment. "Starfire, I think it will come out eventually, regardless of how nervous you are. You and Robin have been obvious about your attraction to one another since I've known you. It can't be too long before it comes out in the open."
Starfire smiled as she looked through Raven's bathroom cabinet. "He is attracted to me as well? How have you noticed and not everyone else?"
Raven rolled her eyes. "Everyone has noticed, Starfire. It's only you and Robin who can't seem to figure it out. Just find some time alone and tell him, it will be fine, trust me."
Starfire clapped her hands happily. "Very well! If you are certain that he feels the same way towards me, then I will tell him! Thank you once more, Raven, you are truly a good friend!"
Raven nodded, inwardly happy that the conversation seemed to be ending. "You're welcome. Now, if you don't mind, I think we both need to take a shower."
Starfire's eyes widened slightly. "Raven, I am not sure that..."
Raven sighed. "SEPERATE showers, Starfire, I'm not suggesting we take one together."
Starfire giggled. "Oh! Very Well. I will leave now. Thank you again!" Starfire closed the bathroom door and the bedroom door behind her as she left. Raven smiled at the girl's happiness, then turned on the water and got ready for a shower.
......................................................................
"So anyway Robin, what's up with you and Star these days?" Beastboy was scrambling fake eggs in vegetable oil on the stove, next to Cyborg, who was scrambling real eggs in bacon grease.
"Yeah, you know you two have been flirting forever. When are you going to do something about it?" Cyborg tossed the diced ham into the eggs, scrambling them together.
Robin didn't look over the top of his paper at them. "Uh, what do you mean? Starfire and I are just good friends."
Beastboy shot Cyborg a look as he picked the stray piece of ham out of his tofu eggs. "Dude, who do you think you're fooling? It's so obvious that you want her!"
Robin sighed, putting down his paper. "This is coming from the guy who hangs around Raven twenty-four seven." Cyborg laughed.
"Hey, c'mon! I'm just trying to get her to laugh! It's nothing like that!" Beastboy waved his hands frantically in front of him, as it dismissing the idea from the conversation.
Cyborg laughed and pressed a button on his arm, replaying Beastboy's sentence from a few seconds ago. "Dude, who do you think you're fooling? It's so obvious that you want her!"
Beastboy decided to change the subject. "Cyborg! You're getting your bacon grease in my eggs! Watch where you're scrambling!"
Cyborg just held up the pan. "Robin! You want real food, right? Got some right here!" Robin got a clean plate from the cabinet and scooped some ham n' eggs from Cyborg's pan onto it.
"Dude! Who can resist tofu eggs? Right here, Robin!" Beastboy dumped a hefty serving of the whitish tofu eggs onto Robin's plate as well. Robin just happily went back to the table with twice the eggs that either of the cooks were going to get.
"So, you guys think I should just ask her?" Robin began eating the real eggs first, causing Cyborg to do a victory dance.
Beastboy ignored Cyborg. "Yeah, she's totally into you. Dude! Cy, stay on your side of the kitchen!"
Robin swallowed his eggs before continuing. "What about you, Beastboy? Are you going to talk to Raven?"
Cyborg laughed, punching Beastboy's shoulder lightly. "Yeah, if she says yes then you at least can win at something!"
Beastboy rolled his eyes. "Yeah, sure. Like Raven would ever say yes to something like that. Besides, If I started dating Raven, Cyborg would be like a fifth wheel."
Robin grinned. "Speaking of wheels, Cyborg has the T-Car."
Beastboy and Robin both laughed at the irritated android.
......................................................................
Starfire dressed herself in another purple skirt and top after she finished drying off from her shower. Everyone knew! If that was the case, then perhaps Raven was right about Robin liking her as well! She giggled happily, looking at a photograph of she and Robin at the carnival. It had been taken just previous to Blackfire's visit, but that was months ago.
She smiled at the image of the boy wonder. His eyes, as always, were hidden behind his mask. That was part of him that she found very attractive, the mystique of a mask that was always on. She noticed Cyborg, Beastboy, and Raven in the background of the picture, at a carnival game booth. She smiled and looked at the large plush chicken that was sitting on her bed. They had found the toy again after Raven had initially dropped it. Despite Beastboy having won it for her, everyone was so taken back by Starfire's adoration for the toy that they had all agreed that perhaps she should keep it.
Starfire sat happily on her bed, setting the chicken on the bed facing her. She giggled. "Ok chicken, you will be Robin and I will be Starfire."
The overlarge chicken stared blankly at her.
"Ok, I could simply say..."
"Hello Robin, You are doing well?"
The chicken stayed silent.
"Oh, that is good to hear about! I was wondering if perhaps you would like to go on a dating with me?"
The chicken seemed indifferent towards the idea.
"You have accepted! I am most pleased! We shall set a time!" Starfire, wrapped up in her game, hugged the chicken happily, causing the speaker inside to make a clucking sound.
She giggled. "Perhaps Robin will not cluck at me. Thank you chicken!" Starfire put the chicken back in it's place on her shelf and left her room.

A/N: Ok, another chapter of nothing happening. It's fun to have nothing happen, though of course eventually something will. It's odd for me to write a fic with no planning first, but it's fun anyway. Right, Read and review if you like. I'll be updating again soon.
