Dance?

The next day, Starfire woke up at mid afternoon. The day before she was silent. The night before she sobbed non stop until she fell asleep. She wasn't as happy as the day before, just removing her pajamas tenderly and putting on her regular purple suit. She flew to the doors that led outside, not saying the Good Mornings that everyone heard from her. The sun looked awkward to her and it occurred that she had woken up late. She walked into town by herself, looking at the tall buildings that kept people in.

She saw the beautiful sky and the orange sun beating on her. Her stomach was growling and she looked for a place to satisfy her hunger. She looked at people crossing the streets and children playing at the park. It was truly a wonderful day, but it seemed to have fallen on her, since the day before. Then someone bumped into her. Speedy, with his short red hair and his masked eyes also. He apologized and greeted her.

"Hello," she greeted back.

Speedy, kind of liked Starfire, but Starfire never really thought of him much. She walked past him and he grabbed her. She had told him that she just wanted to walk around and satisfy her hunger, he started to become a bit grabby.

"Hey, maybe I can take you to a fast food place." He offered, smiling sheepishly at her.

"Thank you." Starfire accepted the offer.

They came into a fast food place and the ordered some drinks and fries. She ate them almost immediately. Speedy looked into her green eyes and became hypnotized. She looked at him wondering why he had such an odd expression on his face. After they had eaten, Speedy offered something else, "Um, there's a dance coming up. Would you like to come with me?"

Starfire looked at him almost crazy, but happy. She thought for a moment and accepted once again.

"Be ready on Saturday," Speedy explained.

With such happiness she flew up and twirled, she was going to the dance, but it wasn't with Robin, she back to fly lower, because of her sadness and Saturday was in three days. She flew lower even more. She started to think of the good and the positives and she began to soar back to the tower. She land on the roof, with a happy landing. She went through the doors that led to the living room, she sat down with a big grin spread across her face. Cyborg and Beastboy looked at her crazy, she'd never really been so happy and had a grin that can tear her face in the middle.

"Dude, why are you so happy?" Beastboy asked, one eye brow in the air.

"It is a dance I will be attending on Saturday." She explained full heartedly.

"Dance?" Cyborg and Beastboy asked simultaneously.

"Yes,"

"Who are you going with?" Cyborg asked trying to get the juice out of Starfire.

"Speedy, he offered and I accepted." Starfire explained more.

"Speedy?"

Starfire left the other two in wonder and flew to her room. Cyborg thought of what Robin would have done if he heard about Starfire and Speedy. Not a good picture. Starfire practiced her dancing, she wasn't all that good. She thought of Beastboy, maybe he can help me, she thought. She ran to the living room, the air hitting her face, she slid open the doors to the living room.

"Beastboy, may you help me with this dancing? I have forgotten that I have no experience at all."

Beastboy looked at her pleased, he would like to help Starfire with dancing. "Sure, Star, lets got the work out room."

They went off to the work out room, he showed her some moves that she could do at the dance. She loved the exotic dancing that Beastboy showed her. They started dancing together.

"Hey, Star, you're getting the hang of it!"

Some parts Starfire would step on his feet, leaving him to yelp. They stumbled and fell, but the more they did, the better Starfire got. She didn't want to leave Beastboy in bruises, but Beastboy insisted that she learn. Robin walked in on them, Starfire held Beast boy's hand and he had his hand around her waist and they laughed about all the silly mistakes she did.

"What's going on?" Robin exclaimed.

Beastboy and Starfire stopped and looked at him with shocked faces.

"Nothing, Beastboy was just showing me how to dance," Starfire went on, "because I'm going to the dance."

"The dance? With Beastboy?" Robin controlled his anger.

"No," Starfire then she whispered, "with Speedy."

"Did you say Speedy?" Robin tormented.

"Yeah," Starfire lowered her eyes.
