Chapter 3 (Olderizing)

The second they got home from the restaurant Star ran into her room and locked the door. Star didn't usually lock her door, but from watching TV she learned that most TEENS did. She began looking through her suitcase. When Star had first come to Earth she hadn't known what she would need so she stuffed most of her stuff in a suitcase and hauled it along. But when she got to the tower she realized that she didn't need half of the junk in there, so she just didn't unpack the things she didn't need. But now she was looking for something she would need… An old gift from her sister, yes, Blackfire.

Blackfire had always been a good sister, usually… Well as an older sister she couldn't be nice all the time it just doesn't work like that! ( A/N: I should know! ;) I'm the oldest.) Star hadn't been there the day her sister turned evil, and she didn't like to think about it. As far as Star was concerned Blackfire was the fun sister she always had been… "Found it!" Star pulled out a little purple bag. She walked over and set it on her bed and excitedly opened it. Everything was still in place… Lipstick, eye shadow, blush, eyeliner, lip liner, everything she would need to become older. But putting the make-up on at night wouldn't make any sense, so she decided to wait…

The next Day, in the morning

Now if Star had bought all the makeup herself she probably would have ended up with green blush with 'matching' orange eye shadow, red eyeliner, and blue lip liner, with hot pink lipstick. Ooer. But if there were two things Blackfire was good at, even at a young age, it would be charming people, and fashion. Meaning all the makeup she had bought for Star over the years matched, along with instructions on how to put it on. Blackfire knew her sister well enough to know, without instructions; the LIPstick would end up on her nose. Good thing Blackfire was smart…

If Blackfire had left any good influence on her sister putting on make-up would definitely be part of it. The other part would have to be how to fight, using starbolts, flying, all that. Blackfire had seemed to easily master it, making Starfire want to follow in her sisters' steps. There was a big difference between them though: Star fought for good. Star delicately went over her eyelids with the little brush. She stood back admiring her work; the eye shadow was a delicate light purple glitter, more shine than color. Stunning, well at least her eyes were… Now for the lips…

Robin sat on the couch worrying, which is something Robin is VERY good at… But at the restaurant, something had really bothered Star, which was odd because usually nothing bothered Star. Maybe it had been the waitress, the nerve of giving Star a kid's menu… Not to mention kids food! But something as dumb, as unimportant as that didn't bother Star, not usually… Robin looked around the room, it seemed nothing changed inside the tower… Raven was always meditating, or calmly sipping tea… Cyborg and Beastboy were always playing Video games, against each other, and he and Star, just watched. Actually the restaurant had been kind of a random twist to throw into their usual day… Maybe Star just liked it the way it was, and she didn't even want anything to change. But that didn't sound like Star… Actually most of what had been happening lately didn't sound like Star. Like… Star was usually up and brighter than sun by now, but she wasn't anywhere in sight. Odd.

Raven set her tea down; it took her that long to notice, Star wasn't there. Star was missing, which was odd. Usually she had awakened, eaten breakfast and been painfully cheerful, while saying hello to everyone. Actually it was kind of quiet without her. Raven decided that was a good thing. Raven looked at Beastboy, who was absorbed in his video game, "He's never going to notice you." "If he's not going to notice me-US- then why do we always stay in this room, why don't I-WE hang out in our OWN room?" Raven realized the Raven was right, no use waiting around for something that wasn't going to happen. As she left she didn't notice Beastboy's eyes slowly drifted over to her usual spot only to find she wasn't there. And she missed his sigh too.

As Raven was walking in the hall she thought about Beastboy, she really shouldn't care, not ONE part of her should care. But Raven was honest, part of her did, but she couldn't do anything about it! She couldn't have emotions… But part of her couldn't see why she couldn't, what bad could come from being able to love? She turned her thought around over and over in her head, until she saw Starfire. In fact she was so deep in thought it took her a while to process what she had just seen…She stopped, was Starfire wearing MAKE-UP?
