Chapter 5. Ashamed with Guilt
My eyes opened slowly to find Robin's head sleeping on his arms by me. I giggled and blushed as I sat up and looked around. It is still dark outside; I wondered what time it was. I walked out to see the red and white moon. It was in the middle of the sky, it was probably mid-afternoon. No wait, I have miscalculated, Midnight. It probably would always be midnight on this new world.
I started to walk back into the cave but slipped on some black goop and slid right into Robin! ((Anime style: There are 12 Robin bowling pins. Starfire is the ball. She slips and rolls…. STRIKE!))
"Sorry, Friend Robin!" I screamed. Robin rubbed his head, still sleepy.
Cyborg had tears in his eyes; he tried to hold his laughter back with Beast Boy. Raven started to laugh first. Then they all started.
They started to make jokes, and riddles.
"Strike!" They all yelled. But suddenly, Beast boy threw up his hands and laughed more. He had knocked the mirror out of Raven's hands! She gasped as she slowly watched it ((Slowly, lol)) crash into shards when it hit the floor. Beast Boy and Cy still laughed and didn't notice.
Using her powers, she tried to put it back together, but it fell to pieces, again, again, and again. She couldn't concentrate from all the laughter… She put her hands on her head.
"OUIET!"
The whole tower grew dead silent. Beast boy and Cyborg gasped.
She tried again, nothing…
"I… we…" Beast Boy stuttered. They all felt immature and ashamed.
"They're… gone…" Raven silently spoke up, bowing her head deep. "They're stuck in that world. It's my entire fault…"
"No, it's my fault. I made too many stupid jokes. And whacked it out of your hands." Beast Boy joined in bowing.
"No, it's mine. I shouldn't have teased Robin so much." Cyborg too.
"I made the plan…" She got up and flew to her room. She locked the door behind her
I flew over towards Robin. "I am terribly sorry- truly! I-!"
"Starfire! It's OK, I'm fine." He smiled lightly.
I gave him a concerned smile, and then hugged him.
Robin's eyes grew wide as Starfire hugged him, not too tight though. His face turned red as steam blew out of his ears. He took a deep sigh and smiled more.
He returned it by squeezing me tight. I felt him stroke a little bit of my hair. I blushed lightly. I let go and looked at him.
Robin gazed into my eyes. Although it was dark, a little light from the green in them made them sparkle like stars. The moment broke as both of our stomachs growled loudly. I held mine then looked up at him.
"C'mon." He stood up and held out his hand. It reminded me when we were home, when we were playing the game station.
We walked down the ashy trail past the moaning trees again. We stopped at a black bush full of black roses. I gazed at the lifeless flower. Robin carefully picked it and we looked at it. It grew bright blinding us. When our vision was retrieved, we could see a glorious new white rose with dew and gold on the edges of the petals. We touched every rose and leaf in the bush, it grew back to life. Oddly enough, It also grew little strawberries!
Robin and I chose a little spot and started to eat the strawberries, peacefully.
OK… new rule… No flamez or correcting statements. I hate it when somebody tries to correct my typing or speaking. Sorry, but it makes me feel bad about myself, and makes me want to delete my stories. No self-esteem.
