Chapter Four: Return To Normality (Almost)
Things were returning to normal again for the Teen Titans. The tower was eventually repaired, and they were starting to forget about what happened. The Titans were occainsally called upon for some higher crimes, like bank robberies, and a few unusual cases, but nothing major has really happened. Robin was playing a new game, and he was having some trouble with one of the levels. This was his eighteenth attempt at this level, and he was almost through the jumping maze, which had been giving him serious trouble. He was one jump away from the door when Starfire burst in. "Robin! Can we go on a date?" She said, quite excited. Robin's character missed the jump and fell into the lava for the nineteenth time.
"What... were you saying... again?" Robin said, irritated at the fact something distracted him and he missed the jump.
"I overheard some girls in the mall of shopping, and they were saying that the woman has to initiate a relationship in these times, and I wish to do so!" She said, nearly bubbling over.
Somewhere, Batman just tripped... Robin thought. "Uhhhh... Sure, okay." he replied, a little lost.
"Glorius! I all ready have clothing picked out, and I have a eating place reserved and..." She went on and on as she left the room.
"I hope she didn't reserve an entire restaraunt..." Robin said to himself.
"Umm, Robin? What just happened? I saw Starfire go by, and she looked like she was on cloud ten and a half!" BB asked.
"Uhh... Nothing.."
"Are you hiding something...?"
"Cyborg! I have wonderful news!" Starfire gleefully said. Startled by the outburst,Cyborg slammed his head on the hood of the T-Car. After realizing where he was, hebacked up a bit, then turned around.
"What, Star?"
"Robin and I are going of out on a date!" Cyborg looked at her for a moment, then turned around and pretended to work on the car, trying to stifle his laughter. Good luck... you're gonna need it.
"Have a good time, okay?" Cyborg said. Starfire left, her next person to see, Raven, in her room. She knocked, and the door cracked open a few inches.
"Yes?"
"I wish to tell you that Robin and I are going of out on a date!"
"Good for you." Raven responed unenthusiastically. The door shut hard, cutting off any futher talking. Star left to find Beast Boy, and found him.
"Beast boy! I wish to tell you that Robin and I are going of out on a date!"
"I KNEW IT! RobinWAS hiding something!"
"He was?" Star asked ,curious as to what he meant by Robin hiding something. Maybe he had a gift for her. Beast Boy went off to find Robin, chanting "Robin has a girlfriend, Robin has a girlfriend!"
Later, Starfire stopped by Robin's room to ask his opinion of what she was wearing.
"Robin, would this set of clothing be appropriate for a date?" Robin looked at her, and almost gasped. She was wearing a beautiful dress that covered a little less that what she wore to the 'Date With Destiny' prom, but it still accentuated her trim figure, and it complemented her good looks. Her hair was put up mostly in a bun, but some of it hung down in curls from the bun.
"I-uhh... It's.. umm... de-uhhh..."
"I assume that by your lack of speech that it is not?"
"No! No, it's.. uhh... beautiful!" He choked out."
"Should one of us wear a dead plant for this occasion as well?"
"Definitly a Kodak Moment!" someone said before snapping a picture. Starfire turned and gasped.
"Cyborg!" She said. He laughed.
"This'll definitly be one for the scrapbook!" Cyborg said before running off.
"Well, uhh.. Shall we go?
"Yes! Please!"
They arrived at the restaraunt, one of the nicer ones, and knocked on the door. Robin saw a sign on the door. "Reserved for the party 'Robin and Starfire'?" He asked. Starfire just giggled. One of the waiters answered the door, and asked if they were the 'Robin and Starfire party'. After working a few things out, they went in. The entire place was practically empty, with the exception of a few tables off to the sides, and one in the middle. The table was a little bit smaller than most of the other tables, as this one was meant for two. It had a neat candle and flower arraingement in the middle of it, the candles lit. The lights of the restaraunt were turned down low, to enhance the romance of the scene. The couple went to the table, and Robin held out a chair for Starfire, and she sat in it He went over to the chair on the other side and sat down. They both opened the menus placed there for them, and a few minutes later, a waiter came for their orders. Robin cringed behind his menu as Star ordered the secon most expensive thing on the menu. The waiter came over to Robin, and he ordered something a bit cheaper to compensate. After the waiter left, Starfire produced something startling. She pulled a bottle of Champaigne from seeminly out of nowhere, uncorked it and filled his and her glasses.
"Star...? Is that...?" Robin asked. Starfire giggled
"Is this not what one drinks on a date?" She asked.
"I.. umm..." This is going to get interesting. I just hope she doesn't drink to much... Robin thought.
The date for the most part turned out pretty good, as both Robin learned a bit more about Star, and she learned some things relevant to the subject of dating, among other things.
"...And so that is how it usually goes." Robin said, explaining the intracacy in making a movie.
"Robin, I wish to ask you a important question." Star said, suddenly sounding a little nervous.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I wish to ask you if you would be my Galmeth-Narii,"
"A what...?"
"I am unsure of the Earth term, but when return, I shall look of it up!"
"I... Guess... err.. Sure."
"Glorius! Let us celebrate by drinking more cham-paig-ne!" Starfire said, mispronouncing the name of what was inside the bottle. Little did Robin know what Starfire said would mean later...
Things began taking a turn for the worse when Robin saw a pink limo pull up, and he saw the license plate. It said 'Kitty'.
"Star? I think it's time we should be going back now?
"Why? We are having such a glorius time, are we not?" Starfire asked, but it was too late. The door slammed open, and Kitten came stomping in.
"Who reserves an entire restaraunt to themselves?" Kitten yelled, then saw Starfire and Robin, and gasped loudly.
"Robin? What are you doing here with that... Tramp!" Kitten said. Can anything come out of her mouth quiet? Robin thought. Starfire turned around, and recognized Kitten. Star shot up, knocking her chair over. Robin just got up and backed away.
"Uh oh..."
Starfire glared at Kitten, he eyes glowing.
"I am NOT at Tramp! Who do you think you are, coming in here and ruining my date with Robin!" Starfire said, looking like she was about to erupt.
Robin prepared himself to start dodging chairs and tables. Star didn't bother trying to throw any starbolts at Kitten, she just shot beams out of her eyes, while attemptiung to get at her throat.
Outside, a man walks by the restaraunt and sees the pink limousine. He walks over to the front and sees the license plate, and grins to himself. He taps his left foot, causing a small knife to pop out. He walks over to the right front tire, and kicks it with his left foot, causing the tire to deflate. He walks around to the left rear tire, and kicks it, causing it to deflate. He taps his left foor again, and the knife retracts. The man chuckles to himself and walks on, completely ignoring the fight going on inside. That is, until the fight started to take itself out side. The stranger jumped out of the way as twin bright greenbeams went completely through a window, shot by, and left a crater in one of the nearby buildings. He decided that now would be the best time to leave, so he faked terror, yelled, and ran away, the limo driver chasing him.
Thirty minutes later, Star was holding Kitten up by her neck.
"I will not allow you to attempt to take Robin anymore!" Starfire saied fiercely, holding up a fist, with the energy of a starbolt surrounding it, ready to finish Kitten once and for all.
"STARFIRE! Don't kill her! The police are here, let them take her!" Robin said. Star huffed, then dropped Kitten.
"Star, I've never seen you like this before, what is it?"
"Robin, I am worried, I don't want Kitten to take you away from me. Promise me you wont allow yourself to be her Galmeth-Narii, please?"
"Of course, Star!" Robin said. Starfire ran up to him and bearhugged him, and Robin started making popping and cracking noises, oblivious to Starfire.
"Can't... Breath... ...Losing... Consciousness..." Robin squeezed out, and Starfire finally released him.
"Thank you, Robin! I knew you wouldn't do that! Lets go home now!" she said, regaining her bright personality. They left the restaraunt, completely ignored by the police and paramedics putting a very badly beaten Kitten into an ambulance. They later arrived at the Tower, and was greeted by Beast boy, and Starfire went in first.
"So, how'd it go?"
"Positively grand!"
"How about you?" Beast Boy asked Robin. Robin held up his arms, almost shrugging. His suit was torn, and bits of chair and table were sticking out in random places.
"How do you think it went?" He said tiredly. "I'm going to go to bed. Robin went to his room, looked at his bed, and fell on it, all ready in deep sleep.
He woke up the next morning feeling better, but still a little shook about the table that exploded next to him the night before. He got up, changed into is normal outfit, feeling much better, and less constricted. He left his room heading into the kitchen. He fixed himself some coffee, something he normally didn't do, but he felt like he needed it, and the only other person who drank the stuff was Starfire. He emptied the cup, stuck it in the dishwasher, and made his way to the living room, and was greeted by Starfire immediately hugging him, and luckily, she didn't squeeze too hard, but the bruises were still there.
"Robin! I have found two Earth terms that describe our relationship!"
"That's good..." Robin squeezed out, and Starfire finally let him go, again.
"We are either bethrothed, or engaged, or both!" Star giddily said, and Robin paled. Cyborg then walked into the room.
"We have the option of becoming 'lovers'!" She said, and Cyborg turned around and left the room. Then Robin, for the first time in his life, fainted.
I'll just pretend I never heard that... Cyborg thought to himself, shaking it out of his head. Then he realized that he wasn't hungry anymore.
They day passed like usual, with no major crimes to worry about, just everyone doing their usual things.
Robin knew things were going to go through drastic changes when he woke up next to Starfire. He drowsily looked around, and noticed several boxes that weren't there before. apparently, she had decided to move into his room.
(Author's Note: whoo, Tameranian words take forever to make up. Also, this was written before the episode "betrothed" aired, obviously. unless someone has a better Tameranian word, I'm sticking with that one, as stupid as it sounds.)
