AN: Hello wonderful readers and reviewers! Hope everyone's week was wonderful! I don't want to take to long to blab on so I'll end my authors note and get on with the fic.
As soon as the door had shut when Robin had walked out I leaped out of my bed. I silently tip-toed to the other side of the room where my dresser laid, opening it slowly I fiddled through my undergarments in search of my most prized possession only to find it wasn't there!
What had I done with it? Where could I have put it…where was my diary!
My knorfka Galfore had always taught me to keep a journal as a way to tell all my secrets. Since I was a little girl I had kept that notebook with Tamaranian design and colors. I had never displaced it before, what had I done with it now? Robin had always told me that if I lost something the best way to find it was to once again trace my steps. I walked over to my heart shaped bed and flopped on it like I had when I was with my diary last.
I looked around in my sheet, perhaps I had left it on my bed accidentally. There was nothing there. There was nothing that would hint me to as where my diary was. I frowned, where could it be?
I walked to the door and walked out into the hallway, the door shut with an annoying 'hiss'.
I prayed to X'hal that no one heard it. I did not wish to wake up my friends for a silly notebook. They all had had a long, tiring day, saving me. Still unable to fly, I walked as quietly as possible into the common room. I looked among the books and magazines, under the couch and vision of teli hoping it was somewhere there and that none of my friends had read it. I was getting frustrated, what had happened to it? I wished to cry, but could not, after all, it is very 'wimpy' as Beast boy says, to cry over something so ridiculous.
I heard the doors to the room open and I looked up from the place I was seated on the floor. With a long and loud yawn friend Cyborg looked in my direction.
"Star, whatcha doin' up this late?" I sighed and stood up to greet my friend.
"I apologize for waking you up, friend Cyborg I only wished to find my diary, it seems I have displaced it." Cyborg cocked a large smile, and I did so too in return.
"Girl, Robins got that thing in the evidence room, when we couldn't find you we thought it might give us some clues." My heart stopped at that moment.
"So-so you have read it?" I asked feeling a bit ashamed. Cyborg raised a robotic eyebrow.
"I didn't read it, Robin made sure of that, but can't say the same for him." I felt the heat rise to my cheeks at the thought of him reading what I had written.
"You do not know what was in it…?" Cyborg shook his head and patted me on the shoulder.
"You should get to bed, you're still recovering remember?" I nodded and kissed Cyborg on the cheek.
"Goodnight friend, I should venture to the world of sleeping, thank you for your help." I skipped away and smiled to myself…but yet I was still slightly embarrassed. I hoped that Robin had not read my diary.
Sleep came to me easier than I thought it would. Within minutes of lying down on my bed I was in a restful sleep. It seemed like only minutes had passed when I woke up to the brilliant sunlight pouring through my window. I looked at my mumbo clock on the side of my bed only to see the letters flashing:
9:48 am
Most of my friends would have awakened by now, walking to my closet I pulled out a clean uniform and put in on. Stepping out of my room I began to walk to the kitchen where I already smelled the meat products being cooked over a warm fire. I greeted my friends in the same manner as I had for the past three years.
"Good morning friends!" some mumbled; some ignored, so I sat down on the table next to friend beast boy.
Cyborg stood making the meat, while Raven sat reading one of her books. Beast boy, who was currently throwing pieces of his napkin at the quiet Raven, not once did he glance at Cyborg or I. I realized friend Robin was not in the room, and decided to question why.
"Friend Cyborg, where is friend Robin?" I asked as he place a plate stacked with meat on the table. Beast boy looked at it disgusted.
"That don't smell like Tofu!"
"That's because it's not ya little grass stain, now eat up."
"I can't eat that!"
"Yes you can...unless ya wanna starve!"
"You're a animal killer!" I hate to see my friends fighting so I attempted to speak up. As I opened my mouth to talk or interrupt my friends the kitchen door opened.
"Knock it off! It's too early for fighting." I smiled as my best friend walked in. He ruffled Beast Boy's hair and hopped into the seat next to me.
"Good morning friend Robin, I trust you slept well?" I asked.
"Yeah how'd you sleep Star?" he asked as he took a sip from the coffee Cyborg had just place be side him. Shifting in my seat I looked down at my hands.
"Rather well, but I am afraid I have lost my diary." As soon as the words had left my mouth, friend Robin began to cough uncontrollably. Friend Cyborg snickered from his post at the heat producing oven. Raven looked up from her book, and Beast Boy looked at us all confusedly.
"Uh…so…what's for breakfast?" Robin spoke rather irritably. Cyborg began to pass out the delectable breakfast he had prepared.
"Killer…" Beast boy whispered. Cyborg jumped up from his seat next to raven.
"What'da say ya little booger?" Raven sneered.
"Can we idiots just shut up and eat?" Robin and I said nothing and only listened in amusement. Friend Cyborg turned bright red and Beast boy sighed and stared angrily at the meat.
"That could have been a friend of mine." He whispered. No one bothered to acknowledge his statement.
When breakfast was done, I helped clean up and then excused myself from the table. Walking to my room I stopped at the evidence room. Opening the door slowly I spotted a dark figure sitting at Robins desk.
My eyes and hands began to glow green as I attempted to get a better look at the assailant in the room.
"Who are you?" I yelled flying up into the air. For a moment it didn't occur to me that I had my powers back. The figure stepped into the light.
"Sorry did I scare you?" I returned my glowing hands to my side and landed on the floor.
"I am sorry I did not realize that you were still here." The woman walked closer.
"We never really got the chance to introduce ourselves. I'm Batgirl." She said as she placed out her hand. I noticed the move as a 'hand shake' and slowly extended my hand to greet hers.
"I am Starfire, it is nice to meet you Batgirl." She nodded curtly. I smiled and moved over into the darkness of the room.
"I hate to bother you but I am looking for a particular book, I suppose you have not seen it." Batgirl shrugged.
"Not that I know of, it's probably on the desk." I thanked her and began to rummage through the items cluttering the wooden desk. There under it all I spotted the golden rimmed Tamaranian style notebook. I resisted the urge to squeal. I fumbled through the pages for reassurance. Everything was there, and I sighed in relief.
I had my diary, I had a date and…I had nothing to wear!
I rushed out of the room, not even bothering to bid farewell to Batgirl. She seemed not to notice anyway. I rushed to my room and began to dig through my things. I spotted a mustard colored, knee-length dress with black lining. It was given to be by Raven after she realized the colors were to light for her tastes. I yearned to try it on, for everything had to be perfect for my date with Richard. I decided to wait; after all there was only eight hours till my most awaited date!
I still wished to tell every one of our new feelings, but knew Richard was horrible when it came to public displays of affection. If he did not with for anyone to know, then I would not force him.
I smiled to myself, only eight hours.
AN: The next chappy of this story I hope will be out within the next week. I am glad to say that I have finally gotten my computer at my mom's house fixed! So now that it's back up and running I can upload more often! Thank you for reviewing!
