It symbolizes that a young Tamaranian girl is ready for marriage. There are three steps for preparing a traditional letmas.
Robin turned the page.
Step One: First, the girl must collect the tradition flowers needed for marriage. Some of these flowers are Jece, Hobitia, and Frods. If none of these are available make do with flowers in the shades of red and black.
Step Two: Prepare the flowers by adding spices like Cru and Sofut. Again, if none are available make due with similar spices. Remove the flowers from the stems, and place the flowers in a bowl.
Step Three: The final step is the hardest for most young Tamaranian. You must mix the flowers with flour, baking soda, an egg, and more sweet spices. Make sure that you mix this to almost a doughy substance. Now bake this.
That is how you prepare a traditional letmas. However presenting it is quite simple. Attach some decoration and a card to the letmas loaf. Simply leave the loaf on your suitor's doorstep. If he accepts your proposal, he shall eat the loaf.
Chapter 15257- The Wedding
Robin shut the book. "OK, a letmas is a flower loaf. Interesting."
"So," Silverfire inquired, "Has Kori given you a letmas?"
"Well, I found a bread loaf outside my room once. It actually tasted good. I had no idea what it was though."
"EXCELLENT!" Silverfire did an exaggerated jump of joy. My sister wishes to get married!" The King began dancing around the room.
"Silverfire, I hate to interrupt your moment but I CAN'T marry her yet. Not until I'm at least 18." Robin said. "Not that I don't want to of course, but I have other responsibilities. I have to get back too... OH MY GOD! Cyborg! BB! Raven! I left them on Earth, hurt badly; oh I think I'm going to puke."
"So..." Silverfire started "My sister's friends that are on earth are hurt, we must help them, grab that book! You are to read it." Silverfire instructed, jumping to the driver seat and starting towards Earth.
"All of it?!" Robin yelled. "No, the wedding chapter." He said. The rest of the way to Earth was silent as Robin began to read the chapter.
As the ship landed, Robin shut the book, eyes wide, and looked at Silverfire. "Of all the girls to fall in love with, I had to choose the alien." he joked, putting the huge mass of paper under the seat.
"So, Silverfire, are you married?" He asked. "No, No! That is my sister's job. One of us must be married, but ONLY one of us. I was once ready to marry, but it had always been Kori's dream to have a big, beautiful wedding, and wear our mother's dress, but she wanted to find the one who would love her the way she would love him. I trust you are that person?" Silverfire asked.
"...of course, I would NEVER do anything that would hurt Star! But you have to understand, I can't marry her. Not now at least! I, we both have responsibilities to protect the city! I don't want your sister getting hurt! That's why I never told her how I felt. I'm sorry, but it will be a while before we can even think about getting married!" Robin explained.
He expected Silverfire to yell at him for some reason, but all he did was chuckle and calmly say, "And for that, I respect you. I belief, if my sister loves you enough, she will wait on you. From what I observed, you are worthy of my sister, and she loves you. But for traditional purposes, I must fight you before you are married."
after that Robin was caught up in his own thoughts before they landed. When they did, he ran to the tower only to find cyborg and BB playing video games, and Raven meditating in a dark corner. "Hey Robin welcome back where's St- "Gone." Robin said bitterly. "What do you mean 'GONE'?!" Raven asked. "GoldenEye got her. How did you guys get healed?" He asked. The two boys pointed to Raven, who smirked. "My powers are more than just for killing and hurting, I can heal too." She said.
"So you are my sister's friends. Hello." Silverfire said, walking down from the steps. "Who are you?" Beast boy asked. "I am Silverfire, king of Tameran and this is Robin, my sister's, soon to be husband."
The other three Teen titans stared at their leader.
"Husband?" Raven said. Robin buried his head in the courtship book and pretended not to listen.
"Um, Silverfire?" Robin said out of the corner of his mouth, making that same killer smile as he did in DWD. "You weren't exactly supposed to tell them."
"I was not? But on Tamaran you inform everyone when you are getting married to a princess."
"PRINCESS!? STARFIRE'S A PRINCESS!?"
"Oh really." Robin said sarcastically. "Well then, I'll just tell the whole world. AND I AM NOT MARRYING HER YET!"
The blue hyper space 'Wall' opened up just behind the moon. The blue wall pulled back releasing the frigate... the frigate began too make maneuvers too launch a drop ship.
"Dude, this is SOO weird! First, we find out Star's being hunted, then that she's a princess, then-"ENOUGH!" Raven yelled. Cyborg stood, dumbfounded as Silverfire and Robin were fighting.
"You are supposed to TELL everyone!"
"NO I'm not! I'm NOT marring her!"
"YES you are! You ATE the letmas!"
"What's a 'Letmas'?" Beast boy whispered to cyborg, who just shrugged. "I think it's a kind of bread that Starfire had to make, and if Robin ate it, it means he accepted her proposal." Raven answered, her eyes never leaving the two fighting.
Robin, who had heard her, stopped yelling and looked at raven itritatedably. "And you this, how?" He asked.
"She asked me before she gave it to you." She answered.
"WHAT?! You KNEW about this?!"
"Hey, I read books all day. You'd think I'd learn something."
Robin's eye began twitching.
BB, Cyborg, and Silverfire fainted.
"THANK YOU GOD!" Robin said, happy again.
Raven looked at him weirdly. "So...What do we do about Star?"
"When they wake up we go after GoldenEye. Are you sure your arm is all right?"
"I'm fine."
"Um, OK. I'm gonna go change." Robin said running down the hallway.
"Boys..."
BACK ON THE BOSSES'S SHIP
Starfire cocked her head in confusion. "This is strange." She said under her breath, stepping into the ship.
Starfire turned too face the soldier who had stopped her. "Listen you," The soldier said flatly. "We can't let you out... Bosses orders... now please go back in." Starfire reluctantly turned around and went back into the room.
LATER ON: The sound of approaching footsteps made Starfire look up from the history book she was reading. The door swung open and Kimiko entered the room. Starfire sighed and said, "I never knew humans were so violent... I mean I know they committed crimes and everything, but I never knew that sometimes the leaders encouraged them too slaughter each other. I thought I had escaped war when I had come too Earth... but I was wrong." Kimiko nodded sadly. "Alas, the great flaws of humanity-hatred, violence, greed, etc. - have consumed many. But come... The Boss wants you on his personal Drop ship... he has some business too attend too on Earth." Starfire sighed again closed the book and followed Kimiko.
Pyro's ship appeared just across the system, near Pluto.
"So? Why did they...?" Pyro started just before realizing something. He flipped a few switches and set the jump drive for short distances, then went to Earth. The ship appeared in orbit above the Titan's Tower. Some of the sensors told him a large magnetic field was near the moon. With a few deft keystrokes on a small computer near the joystick, Pyro activated the shielding system and the weapons system. He shifted the weapons over to the Plasma cannons and set up a few Earth shaker missiles. He only hoped the immensely destructive power of his small ship wouldn't be used too much, lest he destroy the ship.
Before Pyro could start anything, he was hailed by another ship just outside the system. They told him to wait for them to arrive before making a move.
The Royal Naval Fleet didn't exactly like Pyro going off on trips like this.
