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!
Raven was such a good friend- like Robin, she took the time to explain to Starfire what Earth customs were.
Still, Starfire knew she would always be confused about Earth customs for Tamaran was far, far different. However, she did wish for some more of those…crescent thingies. What were they called? Cockie shrimps? Shrimp of tails? The cock of shrimps?
When she repeated the last one to Cyborg, her large friend immediately covered Starfire's mouth and told her the correct name. He did add as an afterthought to never repeat what she had previously said to him.
Shrimp cocktails…hmm…she would certainly have to get some more. They were most delicious, for sure.
Once she convinced her best friend to come out onto the dance floor with her and once she got rid of the slimy Jorknerg who was saying the most unbecoming things to her, she would have to get more of the shrimp tails…tails of cocked shrimp…whatever they were called.
Her eyes flitted every so often to the banquet table. Her spirits kept falling as the shrimp cockies kept disappearing (especially since one supremely large fellow kept on returning for them) and Raven kept hidden behind the punch bowl.
Especially the fact that Raven kept herself hidden- that's what made Starfire most sad. She could not enjoy this party if her friend was not enjoying it.
And when the Jorknerg's hand coincidentally landed on her butt, Starfire's eyes immediately glowed green; a pulsating green energy surrounding her fists.
A few seconds later, one of the Jump City's richest bachelors flew across the room (the Jorknerg), knocked out cold by her blast; a portly man followed soon after (they would find out later that he was the mayor's right-hand man).
Shrimp cocktails rained down on the confused party guests.
At the same time…
Having hidden herself behind a large punchbowl, Raven had hardly moved from her position. Starfire would come back every few minutes or so, in between dances, trying to convince the annoyed dark girl (who was looking not so dark in her get up) to come out and dance.
As ridiculous as the outfit looked, Starfire didn't look at all out of her element. In fact, the dress looked very nice on the girl.
Raven knew that she, herself, looked downright idiotic.
So when Beast Boy poked at one of her fuzz balls, it was the catalyst needed that made her throw him clear across the room. However, his instincts made his hand shoot out and grab the nearest thing he could hang onto- unfortunately, it was that being one of Raven's flourescent, orange fuzz balls.The velocity at which he flew brought the entire filmy layer with him, fuzz balls and all.
And Raven...
Raven was left in a skimpy, red dress- the base of Starfire's…creation.
