Chapter Four: Candies

Starfire giggled as she entered the tower. She had just gotten done shopping at the mall and wanted to show the other Titan's what she had bought. She placed her bags down and stood at the edge of the staircase.

"EVERYONE! COME DOWN HERE AND LOOK WHAT I HAVE BOUGHT!" she yelled, her voice loud and full of excitement.

Beast Boy was down first. He never really was too interested in what Star had bought, but it was funny seeing how she described it and how amazed she was with her findings.

Robin was down next. Being Star's boyfriend, he had to be interested in what she bought, no matter how silly or stupid or dumb it was.

Cyborg was down after that. He, like Beast Boy, was amused at how Star just loved everything she found.

Raven was down last. She really did not care what Star had bought. She never did, and unless something changes, she probably never will.

"So, Star, show us what you've bought today," Robin insisted, smiling at her.

Starfire nodded, smiling. "Well, while I was at the mall of shopping, after getting a drink for myself, I decided to buy everyone, including myself, something."

"Awe, shucks, you shouldn't have," Cyborg muttered, scratching the back of his head.

"Oh, but friend, I wanted to," Starfire admitted, going through the bags. She first got out a fairly medium-sized box and walked over to Cyborg. "Since you like to build and invent things, I have decided to buy you a model train."

"Tracks included?" Cyborg asked, taking the box with much anticipation.

"A three-hundred-sixty degree circle track," Starfire told him, smiling.

"WOO-WEE!" Cyborg exclaimed, grinning like a maniac. He then slightly bent down and hugged Starfire, who hugged him back. "Thanks, Star."

"It was no trouble!" Star insisted, now pulling out another box out of the bags. She walked over to Beast Boy and handed him a box.

"What is it?" Beast Boy asked, slightly fearful.

"A tofu pot," Starfire told him. "I did not think you had one, so I bought you one..."

"Now I can cook my tofu to perfection!" Beast Boy said, hugging Starfire. "Dude, thanks!"

"It was nothing!" she insisted, now grabbing a bag and walking over to Robin. "Here you go."

"He gets a bag!" Cyborg and Beast Boy exclaimed, shocked.

"The box is slightly big, and..." Starfire thought about it for a moment. "I thought Robin might like the bag."

"It's quite festive," Robin admitted, admiring his plain white bag.

"Mm-hmm, sure it is," Cyborg muttered to himself.

"Please open your present Robin!" Starfire exclaimed, clapping her hands together.

"Oh, my, what a present this is!" Robin said, laughing half-heartedly. Starfire had gotten him a bunch of capes in an assortment of colors. "Thanks, Star!"

Beast Boy and Cyborg were trying to hold back their laughs. It was successful for about ten seconds before they burst into laughing.

"Do you not like my present?" Starfire asked, frowning.

Robin quickly shook his head and hugged Starfire. "It's great, Star."

Starfire squealed and hugged him back. "Oh, I am glad you like it!" She quickly let go of him and got out the last small bag and walked over to Raven. "Here you go, friend."

"What is it?" Raven asked, looking at her black bag.

"Oh, just look inside!" Starfire said, keeping in her excitement.

Raven slowly opened the bag. Inside the bag was a book about this sorceress who felt oh-so lonely and out of place where she lived until she met this person who made her life complete. "Thanks," she mumbled.

"So you like it?" Starfire asked, creeping closer to Raven.

"It's great," Raven admitted, looking at Starfire and barely smiling. "I like it."

"OH THIS IS GREAT!" Starfire exclaimed, now hugging Raven in such a way she was now choking her.

"Whoa, Star, need air, NOW," Raven choked.

Starfire reluctantly let go. "Alright! Would you all like to see what I have purchased for myself?"

"Sure," the all said in unison.

She quickly nodded and rummaged through the last bag and grabbed a box. "This, my friends, is a box filled with the delicious Earthly candy called Pocky!"

"What's pocky?" Beast Boy asked, confused.

"Pocky is this graham cracker-like candy with a flavored coating on most of it!" Star explained, grinning like a fool and holding the box up. "Would you all like some?"

"No thanks," Raven mumbled, sipping some tea.

"Sure," the three boys replied, grabbing one piece from the chocolate Pocky box. They ate it and nodded in agreement. "That's good."

"Would you like some more?"

They all then stood there for about five minutes, trying the different flavors of Pocky and eating them.

"Oh, come on, Rae, you know you want some," Beast Boy said, holding up a box of dark chocolate-covered Pocky in front of her face.

That only resulted in Raven glaring at him. "No."

About five minutes later, they were all now in the Main Room, sitting on the couch. Cyborg was clearly beating Beast Boy at "Death Racers 2" on the GameStation2. Raven watched them, a clear look of extreme boredom on her face. Robin and Starfire slightly cuddled with each other.

"Oh, friend Beast Boy, you can beat Cyborg!" Starfire encouraged, now standing up and watching the screen intensely.

"No, he can't," Raven muttered, watching Beast Boy fiddle with the controller helplessly.

Raven was right – Beast Boy couldn't beat Cyborg. It was about two minutes after that mini-conversation when Beast Boy BARELY lost to Cyborg, the "top Dawg" and "master champion" of the game.

"I am positive you will win next time!" Star said, nodding.

Beast Boy shrugged. "Whatever. It's just a game, anyway..."

"AND I BEAT YA!" Cyborg exclaimed, punching his arms up in the air.

"Hey, Star, can I talk to you?" Robin suddenly asked, getting up and looking into Starfire's green eyes.

Starfire nodded. "Why of course!"

Together they walked upstairs. Once walking into a small hallway, Robin looked around to make sure no one was looking. He then bent forward and kissed Starfire.

She giggled at his actions. "Robin, why did you just kiss me?"

"You didn't want me to?" Robin asked, his voice slightly mischievous.

She giggled some more. "No, of course I did. It was just so sudden, that is all."

He nodded. "Well, I think it's time, Star."

She remained quiet, a puzzled look on her face. "Time? For dinner?" She gasped. "For my betrothal!"

His face became slightly pale as he quickly shook his head. "N-no." He slightly laughed. "No. I think it's time..." He sighed, smiling. "We need to tell everyone."

She gasped, her gasp always sounding like she was shrieking at the time. "Really!" she asked, clapping her hands together, her whole body in pure excitement.

He nodded, grinning. "Absolutely."

She squealed. "This is joyous!" she exclaimed, now hugging Robin.

"Ready?" he asked, taking her hands in his.

She nodded, eagerly. They walked downstairs, both grinning. As they entered the lounge area of the Main Room, they noticed they had walked in unnoticed. Raven was busy making tea, Beast Boy was curled up as a cat on the ground, and Cyborg was checking himself for...whatever he was checking for.

"Um, everyone, Star and I have something to tell you all," Robin said, slightly nervous. I can do this, he thought to himself, taking in a deep breath of air. Right? Of course...yep...now only if everyone would hurry themselves over here...

"So, what's going on?" Cyborg asked, pretending to be completely clueless. Man, he better admit his feelings for Star, or at least something like that.

Raven and Beast Boy walked over to them. Beast Boy was grinning. He knew that Robin was about to tell them about him and Star dating. Well, Star gave it away by grinning like a maniac.

"Well, Star and I..." Robin started, but stopped. He hadn't really prepared for this. Well, he spent a lot of time thinking about this day, but never really thoroughly planned it out.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Those damn sirens! Robin thought to himself, angry. He checked on his "handy-dandy pocket" communicator. He almost gasped at who the enemy was.

"Who is it?" Cyborg immediately asked.

"Mumbo."

A/N: Alright, I wanted this to be longer... Yeah, the next chapter will hopefully be up SOON (I need to write a chapter for another one of my stories, which I haven't updated since December), and hopefully, it'll be longer.

Also, "How Long Is Forever" comes on tomorrow at 7 PM CST! Great episode, yes it is. Also, the premier of "Birthmark" also comes on tomorrow at 8 PM CST, so everyone should watch it! It looks great. Also, if you haven't seen "Bunny Raven...or...How to Make A Titananimal Disappear", you should find out what it's about, 'coz the next chapter will contain bits and pieces from that episode.
