Last time:

THUMP!

Both Starfire and Robin fell out of bed at the same time causing them to awaken suddenly. Then, a few moments later…

AAAHHHH!

EEEPPPPP!

Chapter 2 – The Mating Ritual of Tameran

Starfire's eyes were wide as she sat in a heap on the floor of her room. This could not be happening. She closed her eyes and took a deep, calming breath. Peace, quiet, tranquillity. Peace, quiet, tranquillity. Her jade orbs opened again and she took a cautious look over her shoulder. Nope, they were still there. Starfire took another deep breath and looked down at the carpet.

The soft cream carpet was now covered in a mixture of scraps of white material from her freshly torn tank top she had been sleeping in and… light purple feathers.

Starfire buried her face in her hands.

"Oh this cannot be happening! I am not yet ready for such a responsibility! I do not wish to be ready!" She cried as she shook her head. She took another look at her back, now adorned with purple wings. "But it seems that I have no choice in the matter." Starfire sighed in defeat.

She took another shaky breath and rose to her feet… well tried at least. The added weight of her wings made her stumble back to the floor. She moaned slightly and rubbed her butt where it hit the ground.

"This may turn out to be more difficult than first anticipated." She mumbled to herself. This time Starfire simply used her powers to lift herself up into the air. She flouted over to her dresser and looked at herself in the mirror.

When her wings had burst from her shoulder blades her shirt had been torn to shreds and she was left only in a pink bra and a pair of purple boxer shorts. She sighed then flouted down so she was stood before her dresser. She wobbled a little but stood sturdy.

Starfire opened the top draw of her dresser carefully. It was full of items from her home world of Tameran: photos, letters, a communication devise. Even a couple of Borkaberries. She moved a pile of papers to the side and pulled out a small brown box, the corners edged in gold, along with the feather design upon the lid.

She closed the draw and placed the box before the mirror and lifted the lid. Inside lay a simple piece of brownish paper, on top of which was a purple ribbon with a silver charm, identical to the design on the front of the box. Starfire moved the necklace out of the way and picked up the piece of paper. One of the sides was torn, indicating it had once been part of a book, the writing itself was in an old Tameranian language known as Septerifoth. Starfire cleared her throat and read the writing in out loud, but in English.

"When a Tameranian comes of age – I believe that is 16 yes?" Starfire asked no one in particular before shaking her head and continuing "-they shall begin to search for his or her respective mate. Once they have found their life partner (if even subconsciously) they shall have the dream of Extensiorth involving them. They will appear as a winged being and once kissed the Tameranian will awaken with wings. As this happens, the other participant of the mating ritual will have a similar dream, but with the other person replacing him/herself, and shall also awaken with wings. Both Tameranians will be in a weakened state until both come to terms and share true loves kiss- I believe I have seen this movie before." Starfire giggled but continued. "At which point they shall be rid of their wings and regain their powers as they are bonded forever. Until which point the wings can be hidden from view using the charm of Restenthorth."

Starfire placed the paper back inside the box and picked up the charm on the purple ribbon. "Thank goddess for the charm of Restenthorth. What would my friends think if I suddenly gained wings?" Starfire giggled and placed the charm around her neck like a choker and tied it, with which her wings became smoke like and evaporated into the air.

"But how shall I find my mate if I do not know who he is?" She asked her now wingless reflection, a frown crossing her beautiful face.

Of course not all people are as lucky to have a little box with a charm in it in their dresser.

Robin was sat on the large sofa in the centre of the titan's main room. Cyborg, Beastboy and Raven stood to one side. Cyborg and Beastboy were both staring openly at Robin whilst Raven merely looked on, arms crossed and one eyebrow raised.

"Err dude… Why do you have wings?" Beastboy's voice broke the silence. Robin closed his eyes and clenched his fists in irritation, mentally counting to ten before answering through gritted teeth.

"For the fifth and final time Beastboy. I Don't KNOW!" Beastboy gave a slight meep before running to hide behind Raven's cloak. Must to the annoyance of Raven, who simple picked him up with her powers and dumped him before Cyborg with a sigh. Cyborg looked down at the changeling then back at Robin, taking in his appearance.

He was wearing a pair of navy pj bottoms that tied about his toned waist. His shirt must have been ripped off as it was missing entirely and from his shoulders sprouted huge, feathery light blue wings that curved slightly inwards as he sat. His arms were folded across his chest and a frown was plastered on his face.

If the look on Robin's face wasn't one of one-joke-about-the-wings-and-I'll-go-on-a-mass-killing-spree-starting-with-you he would have laughed.

Cyborg was snapped out of his thoughts by a scream from the doorway. Everyone looked around towards the doorway, minus Robin who, when he tried, ended up falling off the sofa and onto the floor in a bundle of limbs and feathers.

Starfire stood in the doorway now fully dressed, hands clasped firmly over her mouth.

"HA! Dude you owe me 10 bucks! I told you someone'd scream!" Beastboy cried, now stood before Cyborg, arms crossed. Cyborg mumbles something about 'stupid know it all green guys' and 'dumb spiky haired bird dudes' and handed over a 10 bill.

"F-friend Robin?" Starfire asked quietly, drawing attention back to herself. Robin sighed and made no attempt to get up from his position, sprawled out on the floor.

"Yeah Star?" He asked, gazing up at the ceiling.

"Tell me. It is not… normal for humans to possess wings. Correct?" Starfire asked, cocking her head to the side, her arms back down by her sides.

"No Star. It's most certainly not normal." Robin replied with a sigh.

Starfire flouted over so she was hovering above Robin. He swallowed as he remembered his dream. Robin had been having very… deep feelings for the young Tameranian for a long time and as she hovered above him, looking down with her innocent eyes his heart skipped a beat… or twelve.

"Then how is it you came about them?" She asked, head once again tilting to the side as she put her hand out to help him up. Robin took her hand and pulled himself up into a sitting position, Starfire sat Indian style before him.

"I'm not exactly sure. When I woke up they were just sorta… there." Robin said as he watched her examine the expanse of blue feathers that made up his wings.

Star bit down on her bottom lip. Could Robin be my mate? I do have an odd feeling when I'm around him… or thinking about him… which I seem to do rather a lot. But was he the angel from my dream last night? I mean all I really remember was his eyes yet I have never seen Robin's so how can I be sure. Oh I am so mixed up.

"Erm… Starfire?" Robin waved a hand in front of Starfire's face that was currently occupied with a vacant expression. She shook her head slightly to clear her mind then smiled broadly as she blushed and rubbed the back of her head nervously. Robin was pretty sure he was little more than a feathery puddle by now.

"Perhaps we can figure out how you have come to be this way by performing the steps of retracing." Starfire grinned happily, putting her finger up beside her face to emphasise her point. This is perfect! Now I shall know if Robin has had the dream of Extensiorth.

"Huh?" Beastboy scratched the back of his head as he attempted to decipher Starfire's version of the English language.

"I think she means Robin should retrace his steps to figure out why he has wings." Raven said monotonously from her position in the kitchen, steaming mug of herbal tea in hand. "Moron." She murmured into her tea.

"Oh." Beastboy mumbled, his eyes looking a little something like this: o.O

"Sooo…" Cyborg looked around at Robin, who looked back, eyebrow raised.

"What?"

"Retrace your steps already." Cyborg replied, folding his arms over his chest.

"Yes tell us Robin. What is it that may have let you to this situation?" Starfire smiled warmly at Robin

"Well I did have a wired dream last night and I…" Robin stopped suddenly

"What Robin?" Starfire asked.

Shit! I can hardly tell I her I kissed her in my dream! Think Robin THINK! "Erm… I-it was about… an angel! Yeah an angel." Good save.

Starfire looked slightly unconvinced. "You are sure? What did this angel look like?" As she spoke she lent forward until their faces were just inches away. Robin gulped nervously as he lent backwards, away from the beautiful alien girl.

"W-well…erm I…" Robin cleared his throat as he felt the blood rush to his face. Sure he had been this close to Starfire before. Hell he'd hugged her millions of times! But that was before he dreamt about kissing her! "I-I don't really erm remember Star." He finally managed to say. That's it. I'm screwed. There's no way she gonna fall for that! God WHY must it be so hard to even talk to this girl! Dumb ass teenage hormones.

"Oh." She blinked and moved away quickly, a blush spreading across her face and she smiled nervously. "Well perhaps that may have something to do with the matter." Robin breathed a mental sigh of relief and pulled himself up from he 45-degree angle he had been in just moments before.

"Weeellllll. As interesting as listening to your dream patterns is Robin, should you… I dunno get dressed or something?" Cyborg stated. A glimmer of a smile played across his lips as both Robin and Starfire became the same shade of red as a ripe tomato.

"Erm…yeah err… someone wanna give me a hand up?" Robin stumbled, looking at anything other than the other titans.

Meanwhile Starfire seemed to have gone on a one-way trip to the la-la land. Oh my. I've never seen Robin without a shirt… how didn't I see that he was this way before? It's not really anything special though correct? I mean friend Cyborg never wears a shirt… huh I never really thought about it that way before… HAY WAIT! Starfire you are losing the it again as friend Beastboy would say.

Back in the real world.

"Erm Starfire? You home?" Beast boy asked, waving his hand before Starfire's blank face.(She seemed to be doing that a lot lately doesn't she?) Starfire shook her head to rid her of her topless Robin images and smiled at Beastboy.

"Yes I am right here Beastboy." She said happily "Where else would I be? … What has become of the others?" She asked, looking about the empty room.

"Oh well, Cy went to help Robin walk to his room so he can get dressed and Raven… I'm gonna take a stab into the dark and say she's gone to her room to do… well what ever Raven does when she's alone in her room."

"Oh… friend Beastboy?"

"Yeah Star?"

"How can you stab at darkness?" Beastboy sweat dropped.

"Well Star it just a…" Beastboy's explanation of the expression was cut short as the room flashed with a blaze or red light as the loud siren echoed through the building.

"Titans! Troub-ouch DUMB WINGS!" Three guesses at who said that! ;)
