Sorry it took so long for another chapter . .. i've been kinda busy. But here it is!
"Robin, you are my best friend . . ."
"I did not know we were required to bring shovels."
"I am . . . getting married."
"In my world, Rekmas means "The Drifting," the point in which close friends begin to drift apart... and their friendship begins to die..."
"We're not going to drift apart, Star. I promise. We'll all be friends forever."
Robin spoke to himself as thoughts of Starfire drifted through his darkened mind. He tossed and turned, her laughter invading his dreams and her smile eating at his mind.
"Forever?" She questioned his mind. Robin saw himself snake an arm around her waist and hug her close.
"Forever, Star . . . and maybe even more." Suddenly he awoke, screaming in pain as he felt his back land on something hard and thin. His teeth gritted against one another, and he forced himself to sit up straight.
He opened his eyes, and then rubbed them forcefully. He looked around slowly, unsure of where he was. He was high above the ground, the stars shimmering in the night sky, and one looking especially bright. His legs hung from the edge of the cold black metal, and he saw the bright lights of London as he peered below. He rubbed the back of his forehead, and opened the communicator in his pocket. All at once, the faces of Cyborg and Beast Boy appeared . . . oddly different.
"You guys alright?" Robin asked his team members, still puzzled by their appearance.
"Dude, you think I am alright???" Beast Boy yelled into the receiver. "I'm a GIRL! I'm wearing pigtails, and a cute little blue dress! NO I AM NOT OKAY!" The screen showed Beast Boy with his arms crossed tightly, one arm bearing a basket with a small black dog that 'yipped!' Makeup devoured his face, and his sparkling red shoes glistened in the sunlight.
"And Dawg, he's not only dressed like a girl, but he came with all the parts too!" Cyborg said. Beast Boy only crossed his arms tighter to conceal the embarrassing trademarks, and he let out a puff of air.
"At least I'm not made of TIN." Beast Boy said to Cyborg crossly.
"So what? I don't got pretty red shoes. BOO HOO!" Beast Boy lifted his hand in anger, and then quickly replaced it quickly as his face turned to a bright red.
"Guys, forget what you are! Does anyone know where Raven is?"
"I'm right here." Said a monotone voice from behind him. He turned around to look at Raven in the eyes. His eyes opened wide in shock, and she only cocked an eyebrow.
"What?" she asked him. He pointed at her but couldn't say anything at all. Loud laughter was heard from the communicater, and it showed the other two laughing their heads off.
"Have you looked in the mirror yet, Raven?!" Beast Boy asked her gasping for air. She took one look at the screen.
"No, have you?" Instantly Beast Boy stopped laughing, and frowned. Cyborg continued to laugh, and Beast Boy pulled a small rope, dumping water all over Cyborgs head. He looked down in horror and watched as he rusted.
"Dude, that was NOT cool!" Cyborg said as he lost movement in his arms and legs. Beast Boy began to laugh once more.
"That totally made my day!" he laughed hysterically, and began to roll on the floor.
"That's enough, guys. We have to find Starfire. Over and out." He closed his communicator and turned to see Raven, still unsure what to say.
"Can you even see what your wearing?" She finally asked the Boy Wonder. Robin shook his head.
"No, but I suggest you do." Raven sighed, and looked down at herself. Her eyes dialated, and realized she wasn't wearing her cloak. She wasn't wearing her leotard, she wasn't wearing her belt, she wasn't wearing any of her normal attire.
Raven was wearing a skirt.
Raven was Tinker Bell.
"AHH!" She screamed and flew to the clock to see her relfection in the glass pane. Her arms tensed as she looked at herself, feeling as if she was going to curl up and die.
"I'm a FAIRY." She said to herself. "I cant believe it. I'm a FAIRY." Robin balanced himself to stand up, and he looked at the window too.
"You think that's bad? I'm wearing green tights." Raven looked at him, and began to laugh as she saw his green cap and skinight outfit.
"Well, at least you look good in Green!" She said. He smiled.
"Not to mention you're the size of a mouse." Suddenly she stopped laughing, and looked at herself again.
"Well that isn't good." Robin leaned against the 1st hand, and he sighed.
"What do you remember from this story?" Raven turned to Robin from her reflection.
"Peter Pan? I think he has to visit Wendy's house. That's how the story begins."
"But he has to fly there." Robin said.
"Good point." Raven said. She flew over to Robin, and sat on his shoulder.
"So . . . say I'm Peter Pan." Raven looked at him oddly, and he rolled his eyes. "Okay, so I AM Peter Pan. How do I fly?"
"That one is easy. You have to think of a wonderful thought." She smirked. "Good thing I'm not Peter then, eh?" Robin smiled, and let out a quick chuckle.
"Well. . ." he said, sitting up and walking to the middle of the 2nd hand. "What should I think of?" Raven smiled, and flew in front of his face.
"You could start with Starfire." She said, and proceeded to fly away. He looked down below him, and he took a deep breath. He stretched his arms wide, and he began to lean forward, letting the air catch him. He felt gravity pull him down, fear beginning to overtake him. The wind rushed by his hair, and he began to call back memories. He remembered the night of the Prom, when he and Starfire were announced the King and Queen. As tradition, the King and Queen had to dance together . . . so he and Starfire did. He had never realized she was so light on the dance floor. She was so carefree, and so happy. And he felt happy to be with her.
He suddenly felt his body lift into the air, and his nose facing the sky. He smiled and twirled into the sky.
"CACCAW CACCAW!" he yelled into the night, as he had read so many times in the story books.
"Come on Robin! We have to find Starfire, and fast." Robin nodded, and followed Raven through the maze of stars and buildings.
