Comments: This follows the Cartoon!Teen Titans timeline so all relationships are platonic and there isn't really anything set. There are slight nuances- most likely Raven/Robin because I'm an avid fan. I don't own this series- DC and the dudes over at CN do. Please enjoy!
"Touch it again and die," Raven all but snarled at Beast Boy who was surreptitiously trying to remove the cape.
He had practically strangled Raven in the process.
"Guys come on, if she doesn't want to take the cloak off, leave her be," Robin soothed the others as he handed his coat to the butler at the door.
Raven sighed in relief. Usually a word from their leader would have the rest complying to his wishes.
"But if you do not remove the outer coat, friend Raven, we would not look like beloved sisters," Starfire added, a disappointed expression on her face.
Raven stared at the Tamaranian princess for a long while, eye twitching wildly under her hood while Robin, Cyborg, and Beast Boy looked back and forth between the two. Starfire with her hands clasped to her chest, a hopeful expression, and annoyance radiating from Raven.
With a sigh, the dark girl unclasped her cape and handed it to the butler.
Three jaws dropped…it was just…
"Oh friend Raven!" The elated Starfire giggled happily, "Even if you are not my sister in blood, you are my sister in every other way! The dress looks wonderous on you! And the traditional Tamaranian head piece-," Starfire squealed and grabbed the arm of the sullen girl who was shooting dirty glares at the three snickering boys. The Tamaranian did not notice, she was busy chattering away, quickly yanking her friend into the main ballroom.
After several Teen Titans' fans had tried to hit on her, Raven quickly headed off towards the banquet table sporting a black magic force field.
She needed to meditate; anywhere was fine as long as the idiots stayed far away from her. Starfire was disappointed but at this point, Raven's emotions were running volatile and it was taking a lot to keep her magic at bay.
But the red-head was determined to get Raven out there on the dance floor and show her how they could have a good time; that much was certain. Starfire scratched her head thoughtfully as she watched the sulking girl who was hunched behind the punch bowl, several food items floating around in the air, surrounded by dark matter.
Guests found this amusing, Starfire was just confused. Earth customs confused her…such as the silly paper 'thingies' each guest used to put their edibles onto. After all on Tamaran, they used no such things. Food was served and everyone dived in, fighting for the last morsel of the Yrrap or the Broople (among many other Tamaranian delicacies).
She figured that it was definitely not the case for Earth when she dived onto the table trying to gobble up as much as she could. Raven quickly took a hold of her while the astounded guests only stood stock still, watching in amazement; the purple-haired girl yanked a certain red-head behind her and out of the room. They quickly returned just as fast as they had exited.
