Chapter 7- Documentaries, Invitations, and Shopping

"Quietness is bliss. Quietness is bliss. Quietness is bliss." Songbird was on the roof, meditating.

"Friend, I do not wish to disturb you but have you seen Robin?"

"No."

"Perhaps you have seen Cyborg or Beast Boy?"

"No."

"Do you know where Raven is?"

"No."

"Would you like to do the hanging out with me?"

"Sure."

"Glorious!! What would you like to do? We could do the hanging out, or we could see a movie or we could do the shopping or perhaps we could do braiding maneuvers on each others hair."

"What about a movie?"

"Glorious!! Come, let us go and find one to watch!!"

She grabbed Song's arm and they flew down to the main room.

"What kind of movie do you want to watch Starfire?"

"How about this movie?"

She held up a movie entitled The history of the Black Sloth. Songbird sweat dropped. She saw the look in Starfire's eyes.

"Sure Starfire."

"Glorious." She put the movie in the VCR.

They watched all three and a half hours of it.

"I do not know why but none of the others wanted to watch this movie with me. They said that they didn't really like this kind of movie. Do you like this kind of movie Songbird?"

Songbird hesitated before answering. She didn't want to hurt her friend's feelings. "Ummm. Yes."

"Glorious. Would you perhaps like to view others of this kind with me? I have over one hundred of them."

"One hundred." She groaned.

"Are you alright friend Song?" Starfire looked worried.

"Yes. Well sort of," she heard her opportunity. She heard the others coming in the garage. "Star the others are back. Let's go down and met them."

Before Starfire had a chance to reply Song had grabbed her arm and dragged her to the garage.

"Where were you guys?" Song asked them. Her brow was furrowed in anger.

"We were at the mayors office. He umm invited the Teen Titans to some fancy dinner that they are having in honor of some diplomat visiting the city," Cyborg told her. He took back a step when he saw the glare on Songbird's face.

"And it took all of you to do that?"

"Uh yes," he said hesitantly.

"Fine."

"What is a fancy dinner?" asked Starfire. She had been standing behind Song and hadn't seen the looks she was giving Cyborg.

"Its were important people eat really expensive food and dress up really nice," explained Robin.

"Ohhhh. That means that we will have to do the shopping!" she exclaimed excitedly. All thoughts of watching documentaries went out of her head.

"Yes that is why we came back before going to the mall. We needed to pick you guys up," Raven stated with dread. She didn't like shopping.

"You guys have fun then while shopping," Song told them.

"What do you mean? You'll need a dress for the dinner too. You can't go in jeans," Cyborg told her.

"The mayor invited the Teen Titans. I am not a Teen Titan."

"Ahhh but the mayor also invited you. For you have helped us stop two major crimes in our beloved city," Cyborg said coyly.

"But I don't have any money for a dress," she said breathlessly.

"You are wrong again mi amiga. For the mayor has also graciously offered to buy you a dress."

"Glorious. We go at once and do shopping at the mall!!" Starfire climbed into the T-Car.

"Coming amiga?"

Song giggled as once again Cyborg held the door open for her.

"Si mi amigo."

"Raven that dress is perfect for you!!" exclaimed the excited Starfire.

The girls and boys had parted for this mall excursion. The girls went to a store called Evening Gowns for the Perfect Evening, and the boys went to the Men's Warehouse. This was Ravens forth gown and Starfire's forth perfect gown for her.

"Starfire for the love of all that is holy in this pointless world WILL YOU STOP SAYING THAT!!"

Starfire blushed. "Okay."

"Thank you." She turned and looked at herself in the mirror. "Hhhhmmmmm. Starfire, for once I think that you are right."

The dress was midnight black, but it had a soft shimmer look to it. It was a square collar and floor length with long tight sleeves.

Song had a sly grin on her face. "I know Beast Boy will like it."

"What did you say?" Raven growled at her.

"I didn't say any at all. Why, what ever would make you think that?" she asked with mock indignity.

"But Songbird- OWWW!"Songbird kicked her in the shins.

"Starfire come help me find a dress." Songbird dragged her over to another display of gowns. Leaving a very angry looking Raven behind them.

"Robin, dude, that is so not you," Beast Boy told him.

Robin was in a red suit that looked positively horrible on him.

"Hate to say it but he is right on this one," Cyborg said. He walked over with a different suit. "B.B. try this one."

Beast Boy tried on the tux. {I have no idea about tuxes and guys stuff so use your imaginations on what the boys look like.} The tuxedo actually looked quite nice on him.

"What do you guys think?" Beast Boy asked, posing in front of them.

"Nice," said Robin.

"Raven will like it," Cyborg said. A sly grin, much like Song's, on his face.

"What does Raven have to do with this?"

"Nothing. Robin, try this one. I can't stand to see you in that one."

Robin took it and stormed into the dressing rooms.

"Star you have to try this one." Songbird handed her another dress.

Starfire went into the changing room.

"Songbird I have a question to ask you. It is on a somewhat personal nature."

"Shoot."

"Well. It is about Robin."

"What about him." Songbird was browsing the dresses when Starfire started to talk. At the mention of Robin she had stopped.

"Ummm. Do you think that he is attractive?"

"What? What? Hold on. Why do you want to know?"

She heard Starfire shifting from foot to foot.

"Hold the phone. Do you think he is attractive?"

"What?" Starfire was caught off guard by this question. "Why do you want to know?"

"No reason. Let's see what you look like in that dress."

Starfire stepped out. Songbird and Raven, who had been sitting off to the side, both gasped.

"What is wrong with this dress? Does it not look all right?"

"Quiet the opposite." Raven said in her normal monotone.

"Starfire you look, you look, gorgeous." Songbird's jaw was hanging down. Raven shut it. "Thanks."

She was in a floor length deep red dress. It was square cut with the straps coming around the back of her neck and had virtually no back to it. It showed of her figure quiet nicely.

"Thank you for the complements." She glanced at the clock on the wall. "Ohhh my! We do not have much time. We need to find you a dress Songbird." She started to frantically search through the dresses. Songbird and Raven joined in.

"Much better Robin, much better," Cyborg told him.

"I don't know. Beast Boy what do you think?"

"Nice. That one works for you."

"Hey Robin, why are you so concerned with your appearance? Trying to impress some one," Cyborg teased.

"No," Robin shoot back defensively.

"Suuuuuure man. What ever you say."

"What about you? What is that like your fifth tux?"

"Try this one." Starfire shoved a dark blue dress into her hands and then shoved her into the dressing room.

"I don't know. I think that this one may not work for."

"Why would a dress work? It is an inadment object."

"No Star she means that it won't look nice on her." Raven explained to her.

"Ohhh."

Songbird stepped out. "What do you think?" she spun around.

"That dress works very well," Starfire beamed.

"She's right, again. Yeesh twice in one day, you must be on a roll Starfire," Raven said sarcastically. Then chuckled.

Songbird giggled and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"Not bad."

Indeed she didn't look bad at all. The dress that she was wearing was a simple deep blue dress, with a small v-neck and a slit that came up to her knee.

"We must hurry. It is almost time to go," Starfire exclaimed.

They all rushed over and bought their dresses.

They flew out of the store, each holding a dress bag that held their dresses. Rushing to the appointed rendezvous point with the boys.

"Hey man it is hard to find a tux that fits me." Cyborg told Robin.

"Suuuuuure it is." Robin said in the same mocking tone that Cyborg had used earlier.

Cyborg just glared at him.

"Fine be like that."

"I think that I will be just like this."

Cyborg just grumbled and tried on another tux. He looked at himself in the mirror.

"Not bag Cy," Beast Boy called to him. He was buying his tux along with Robin. "Hey what time is it?"

Cyborg checked his clock. "Fudge monkeys! Were going to be late."

"Fudge monkeys?" Robin asked.

"Picked it up from Song." He rushed over and bought his tux. "Let's go!"

"Where are the boys? They were supposed to be here ten minutes ago," Songbird said.

"So were we," Raven said.

"That's not the point. Its okay if were late, we're girls. They're boys they don't have an excuse."

Raven rolled her eyes.

"Here are the boys," Starfire said.

She had spotted Robin's head through the crowds. Robin had gone through a very large growth sprit and was now taller than Starfire; in fact he was as tall as Cyborg.

"Why are you guys so late?" Songbird asked.

"Cyborg took forever to find a tux," Beast Boy said.

"I did not. I was busy helping you two find something that didn't make you look like humpty dumpty that I didn't have time to find a tux for me."

"What ever. Can we just go home now?" Raven asked.

They walked to the T-car and drove home.

"I almost forgot," Song said as she stepped out of the car. "When is the dinner?"

"Tonight." Robin said.

All the girls rounded on him. "WHAT!!?"

He sweat-dropped. "Yeah we need to leave in about an hour to get there on time."

They rushed up the stairs to get ready.

Songbird's voice boomed down on them. "DON'T EVEN THINK OF COMING NEAR STARFIRE'S ROOM!!"
