Disclaimer: Uh, if I owned Teen Titans, I wouldn't be writing this piece of fanfiction. So I don't own Teen Titans. Wah!!!
Moonfire (my muse): Argh. Now you've done it. She likes to pretend that she owns TT. Well, all we can do is wait it out and read the fic! (grabs popcorn and couchs on sofa) Voila! Let the fic begin!!
Chapter 1: Planning
Blackfire chuckled evilly as she flew through the galaxy. "My sister shall pay!" she repeated over and over to herself, like a mantra. It was the only thing to keep her going. She was exhausted, flitting from place to place to place. Only her plan for revenge made her so energized and therefore had boundless energy.
Around one hand, a lavender-purple starbolt was glowing sinisterly. In the other, an order to return to Tamaran, with a forged signature of Galfore, was carefully held.
It had been too easy. She simply escaped from the Centari jail, rumored to be the most heavily guarded prison in the galaxy. 'Yeah right.' Blackfire then glided to Tamaran, where Galfore put her immediately under house arrest. Sneaking into the kitchens, she poured some poison she had snitched from another prisoner from jail into the goblet the Grand Ruler used. When Galfore fell dead at dinner, she snuck into his study to steal some paper and a pen. She composed an order to return, forged his signature on the paper swiftly and got ready to leave. Blackfire then flew into the Sol system. She knew she couldn't be seen, or else she was in major trouble. So she timed it right when the whole of Jump City was sleeping. Midnight, to be exact. She soared inside Titans Tower. Deactivating the codes Cyborg showed her, she soundlessly strolled around to Starfire's room. After placing the paper right on Starfire's nose, Starfire turned over, letting the paper float to the ground, and seemed to be ready to wake up. Blackfire hastily padded out again. Lingering by Robin's door, she shook herself mentally and hurried out again.
Once out of Titans Tower, she hunted about until she found an abandoned warehouse. (That's usually where everything happens, ne cest pas?) There, she couched down on a stolen Glork (bed) from Tamaran to survey the chaos as her plan unfolded. Blackfire would strike at the right moment. Until then, she would wait and watch.
Starfire's alarm clock, depicting Mumbo Jumbo, rang shrilly in her ears. Her emerald-jade eyes flew open. "Blorthog has arrived!!" She rushed around her cheerful room, recovering presents from underneath her purple bed, from behind some plushy stuffed animals, from on top of the tidy desk's shelves, and from inside her wardrobe's drawers. Her friends had recalled last Blorthog and had sidled into her room to look for any sign of her remembering. Even Raven had come to talk, no doubt with the boys' urging. After switching bodies with her, the two girls were bonded, although they didn't talk and gossip all the time. But there were times when they would have girl talks... But no, Starfire had hidden them from view. After retrieving them all, she piled them onto her arms and darted around in the hallways, hiding from the others. After dropping the gifts several hundred times, Star finally made it to the rec room. "Happy Blorthog!!!" she cried only to realize...
"Where is everyone?"
It was true. No one was in there. There was no sound in the Tower. Only the heavy blanket of silence. Starfire dropped the presents in disappointment and sighed. 'Perhaps they have forgotten it is today and went for pizza,' she thought. 'They have forgotten me.' One crystal clear teardrop rolled down her slightly orange cheek and fell onto a red gift intended for Robin. Three more followed, one on the green present for BB, another on Cyborg's blue one, and the last on Raven's purple gift. The jingly bell necklaces clattered on the floor, completely unaware of their owner's grief. At this point, Starfire completely broke down and fled from the room, back to her own.
Robin's head poked out from behind the kitchen table. Raven's, Cyborg's, and Beast Boy's came out as well. They had been quietly cooking breakfast when Star came in. BB and Cyborg had been fighting in hushed whispers.
"Tofu!!!"
"Nobody wants your stupid tofu!! Meat and eggs and real milk!!"
Robin and Raven were trying ineffectively to calm them down and had utterly missed Starfire's queries. But they had heard the clanging of the bell necklaces as Star dropped them and were trying to figure out... "What just happened?"
"Who cares? We are having TOFU!!!" BB screamed, muffled by Raven's hand over his mouth.
"No, MEAT!!!!!" Cyborg silently yelled. (Hahah, contradictions!!)
"I think we completely messed up the surprise breakfast because of those two idiots!" Raven glared angrily before swiftly calming down. A dish broke.
"Great, another Blorthog trouble day." Robin groaned. "This was supposed to be special." A vein in his temple pulsed.
"Soooorrry!" chorused the other three. One glance and the teasing began.
"So, what's so special about Blorthog?" Cyborg asked slyly.
"Last time, we pretty much messed up. And we did again." Robin's vein throbbed in mild anger.
"Why don't you ever do this for the rest of us?" Beast Boy inquired.
"Because we do it all together. Starfire's new to this planet, so we've got to help her adjust," Robin explained, a touch annoyed.
"Are you sure it isn't because you maybe have feelings for our resident alien?" Cyborg hinted quite obtusely.
"Uh..." Robin was at a loss of words.
"He does," Raven giggled most uncharacteristically. "As an empath, I can sense your emotions. When he sees Star, I feel love radiating off him."
"Ugh!!You three are impossible!!! Alright, I do, is that enough?"
The trio beamed innocently. "Now to tell Starfire..." started Cyborg.
"Oh no, first we are finding out what is going on with her."
Meanwhile...
Starfire flung herself onto her downy soft bed and sobbed into a pillow. 'They will not accept for who I am. They don't want me here.' (A bit over-emotional, yes, but that's Star for you!) There, she curled up and felt pity for herself. Staring at the ceiling, she realized she hadn't picked up after locating her Blorthog presents. Star shoved herself up and then, discovered the little piece of paper she had missed earlier that morning.
It read:
Princess Starfire of Tamaran,
It is of our greatest regret that we must call you home to Tamaran. The Grand Ruler wishes for you to return. Mostly likely, by the time you receive this, Galfore the Grand Ruler, will be dead. So please hurry home, Starfire, now Grand Ruler of Tamaran.
Galfore, Grand Ruler
A small smile crept onto her face. Now she had an excuse to leave. A miracle of X' Hal. Star hurried about her room, grabbing her pink bag and stuffing in an extra outfit, her diary, a silvery pen that wrote in blue ink with a silver sheen, various hard candies, some jewelry, her favorite plushy unicorn, and a few trinkets. So then she was ready to go home. Home to Tamaran.
