Chapter 1: Definitely not driftwood
Cyborg, Robin, and Beast Boy were all squaring off on the new "Marine Zombies" video game Cyborg bought, and Robin was kicking his butt. Raven was trying to read, but couldn't help looking up amused every time someone's character was blown up.
"NO!" Robin and Beast Boy shouted as Cyborg's tank blew them both up. "BOO-YAH!" yelled Cyborg, "Who's your zombie daddy?" "Oh, yeah?" said Beast Boy, "Rematch!" and pushed the Reset button.
Before they could even pick their characters, though, Starfire burst into the room, walk-assist carrying an unconscious, wet girl with shoulder length brown hair and a pink backpack. (Note: Walk-assist is where you hold a person up with one of their arms around your neck. You hold that arm with one hand, and hold the rest of them up with your other hand on their waist. You get it.)
"I seek your assistance!" Star shouted as she floated to the couch. After a moment of stunned staring, the others got up and made way as Starfire laid her on the couch.
She was as limp as a soggy sack full of mashed potatoes. "Who's your new friend, Star?" asked Cyborg. "I do not know", she answered "I found her on the rocks outside. The ocean must have washed her upon our shore". "Practically at our doorstep" said Robin.
Suddenly, they noticed the backpack moving. Cyborg removed it from the girl's back and unzipped it. A pair of big yellow eyes opened at him. "AAH!" he freaked and dropped it on the floor.
A black cat popped her head out and gave a surprised "Meow!" (Note: She's dry. The backpack's waterproof!) She stared at everyone as if she were wondering where the heck she was and who the heck these people were.
Beast Boy exclaimed, "Cool! A cat!" and turned into a kitten, after which he mewed in question to the cat. The cat felt more comfortable around something like her, and they meowed for a bit. Beast Boy turned back to normal and said, "It's okay, guys. They're good".
The cat then saw her mistress unconscious, and meowed in exclamation. She jumped onto the couch and rubbed her forehead into the girl's neck, purring.
The girl stirred and slowly opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked weakly, "Who are you?" Then she sneezed and shivered. "Goodness!" said Starfire, "The cold of the ocean must have made you ill! Come! You must cleanse and dry yourself!" She offered the witch her hand. The witch smiled and gave Star her hand. Star and Raven led her to the bathroom.
"The towels are in here", said Raven, opening a door on the right of the entrance. The girl took one and stroked her face, sighing. "I will gladly lend you some Earth clothes I have purchased", offered Starfire, "your dress may need washing". "Thank you" said the girl, then, "Oh! I'm sorry! What are your names?"
"I am Starfire!" said Star, "and this is Raven". "My name is Merlina", said the witch. "Wonderful to meet you, Merlina!" said Star, "but we will now leave you to your cleansing". "By the way" said Raven as Star walked off, "That's a nice shade of blue". (It was the same shade as Raven's cloak) "Thanks!" Merlina chuckled and closed the bathroom door.
Well, what do y'all think?
