Alright here is chapter two for you all. I got some pretty good reviews from the first one so I must be doing somthin' right. Correct me if I'm wrong though. R&R.
Inside the van Starfire was having the mother of all panic attacks. She was trapped inside the body of an crazy, evil (not to mention spoiled rotten), horrible little girl who at that moment was on her way to Titans Tower. Starfire struggled to free herself from the cuffs but failed.
"Would you give it up! It's your own fault your in this mess anyway". Said the Puppet King finally regaining consciousness. She whirled around angrily.
"MY FAULT?! You are the one who tried to trap me in a small wooden replica of myself. You are the one who allied yourself with a Klorbag Varbler-Nelk like Kitten. All of this is YOUR FAULT"!!!!!!!!!
"Excuse me but if you had just stood still and let me take your body as my puppet, then you wouldn't be inside her body now would you"?
"No I'd just be a captive and my body transformed into a robotic killing machine".
"Hey its all a matter of perspective", said the Puppet King still chained to the floor. Starfire then sat cross-legged on the small bench as the van went over a pothole and Star bumped her head against the wall. Rubbing her head She continued.
"I need only tell them of my situation and I will be freed to go and retrieve my rightful body", said Star with confidence.
"Sure, you go ahead and do that. Tell them that you've magically switched bodies with a wanted criminal, your completely innocent, and that you need to be released immediately to go and get your body back", mocked the Puppet King. "I'm sure they'll understand, you don't belong in a prison at all. You're more of the psycho-ward type". Starfire wanted to make a comeback, but knew that that what the Puppet King said was true, who would ever believe her story. She sure couldn't count on the Puppet King to vouch for her.
'This was turning out to be a very bad day indeed', thought Starfire. She then thought about how her night with Robin was going to be ruined beyond all belief and that he might not ever forgive her and.... 'STOP THINKING LIKE THAT'! She told herself. She knew Robin would be disappointed but he would not be angry with her. He's told her before that it is impossible for him to stay or even get angry with her. Anyway, current circumstances make going to dinner with Robin a little difficult. 'I mean I am trapped inside Kitten's body and she is trapped in mine and'-. A thought came to her. 'What if Robin goes to dinner with her as he could be under the impression that it is me!!! He could turn out to enjoy her company rather than mine'!!!!!!!
"You know your thinking out loud and I'm getting tired of listening to this superhero soap opera", remarked Puppet king from the floor. Starfire ignored him.
'Oh if only I was not without m powers I could easily escape from this vehicle'. Just them another horrible thought crossed her mind. "MY POWERS!!! If Kitten discovers how to use them then there may be no stopping her and getting my body back. I hope I am not wanted for too many offenses, I need to get out of prison as soon as possible and return to my friends'. Obviously Starfire was unfamiliar with the criminal justice system on Earth.
TITANS TOWER........
Kitten slowly opened her eyes and figured she was long in jail by now. She looked around and her mouth dropped. Either they were getting really soft in the federal prisons, or this was someplace entirely different. She was lying on a pink circular bed, which was perfectly tidy. The room looked like the scent made by an air freshener made visually. She looked around, 'Oh...My...God. Who in their right minds would have so much fluff in their life or even in their room? She got up and went over to the room's bathroom and splashed some cold water on her face. Maybe she was hallucinating? She looked up in the mirror, dried her face and left.
She suddenly jumped back into the bathroom and wide eyed stared at herself in Starfire's body. She felt her face all over and gasped several times. "I-I-I am inside her body"? Now that she had pointed out the obvious to herself she went back to the room, which was undoubtedly Starfire's room. Kitten sat on the bed and went through the past events in her head. She was robbing the store with the Puppet King, Starfire and Raven showed up, got in a fight with Starfire, Puppet King was about to trap Star,.......- "PUPPET KING", she shouted. She went over and toppled the nightstand angrily. "That stupid fool trapped me inside the body of this stupid fool"!! She punched the wall and it made a sizable hole. She also noticed her eyes were green. "Although", she said to herself. "I suppose its not all a bad thing". She looked down at her hands, which were glowing green. "With Starfire's powers I bet not even Robin would be able to beat me". It was then that more thoughts entered Kitten's mind. "OH ROBBIE-POO, this is just what I need to get Robbie-Poo back where he belongs. Although", she rubbed her throat. "They might be able to tell its me in here". It was true that Kitten had a voice which was anything but inconspicuous; in short the Titans were sure to recognize her.
Kitten decided that she should try her best to act like and sound like Starfire until Robin was coaxed enough to not care who she was. Kitten gave it her best try; "H-hello my friends", she mimicked. Instead of sounding like Starfire however, Kitten came off as an illiterate British woman. "This is going to be harder than I thought".
BACK TO STARFIRE...........
After riding for what seemed like hours they finally reached the Jump City courthouse. They had to wait because many other cases came before them. Finally they were called up. When Star took her seat at the defendant's table she looked at the judge and couldn't help but feel more than slightly intimidated. He was an old man with oval bifocals and had the look of a stony gargoyle. He gestured toward her and the Puppet King.
"In the matter of he people versus Kitten and her accomplice how do you plead"? Starfire didn't know how to answer.
"Um, I am not the one whom you seek"? She cringed slightly behind the table. The judge gave her a look which said 'Are you crazy'? He then held up the bag that Kitten had during the robbery.
"This bag has enough jewelry to feed a third world country. We have surveillance footage of you and your ridiculous friend here committing the Robbery. The Teen Titan that handed you over personally said it was you who also managed to injure her friend. And to top it all off, your wearing some of the stolen jewelry". Starfire glanced downward and for the first time noticed a gold necklace, three diamond rings, a pear bracelet, and two emerald earrings. She didn't think Kitten was that stupid. Oh well, you learn something new everyday. The judge put down the bag and cleared his throat. "Therefore, I challenge you to bring forth anything that would prove your innocence in the slightest". The whole courtroom turned to her as Star searched for something that could help in her defense.
"Might it possibly help to know that my meta-physical essence has been switched with Kitten's, resulting in a mix up of our bodies"? Everyone in the room all began to thing the same thing; She..is..insane. "If you do not believe me, ask him", she pointed at the Puppet King. The judge looked from the limp doll to Starfire.
"First of all, that is the most preposterous excuse I have ever heard. And I've heard some pretty dumb things in this job. And second; that, is a puppet. Are you trying to insult my intelligence"? Scared of whatever he was about to say Star shook hear head. "This court sentences you to fifteen years in federal prison plus five years parole upon release which will be on August 16, 2019. Case dismissed, NEXT". He hit the desk with his mallet and a wide-eyed and opened mouthed Starfire was taken away.
Ok I know not much happened in this chapter, but I'm getting there. Anyway how'd you like this one? Next chapter is one its way.
