Chapter 2. Early Morning Surprises
Starfire gasped and awoke, but in the wrong room, bed, but was still in her blood stained clothing. She threw the sheets off her legs and waist, to find not red, but now brown dried up blood. But her boots were gone. She was surprised to find herself in Robin's room. It was still dawn, but she lay there thinking. Robin's room was always so dark, I could not figure where everything was because of the blackness that falls upon him, with him… And where are all the Slade and vicious posters of the walls? Maybe Robin has finally put aside the obsession and did the ripping and the throwing of them away into the trash. Starfire arose her head once again from the pasty white pillow. She climbed out of the bed and stepped upon paper. She reached down to pick it up, she squinted her eyes a bit from the darkness to find Slade's face on it. He has not given up… She tip toed toward a door to open it, in the darkness she thought it was a way out of the room, but she found the closet. She opened it to find stacks of Slade papers falling in front of her. She gasped as she jumped. She tip toed back and accidentally stepped on a birdarang. It shot out rope that tangled her ankles and she fell onto the floor.
She had no idea which part of the room she was now. She tried to untie herself but the material was too strong and tight. She used a small starbolt to set herself free. The starbolt lit up the whole room. In front of her she found Robin asleep in a sleeping bag. Goodness! I hope that I sincerely did not disturb his dreaming slumbers… Robin turned over on his other side and took a nice breath. Starfire smiled and giggled a bit. She laid back on one elbow while playing with the tips of his black hair with her other hand. Even though he gelled his hair so much, it still felt peaceful and soft, not all hard and stick like.
An evil yet curious smile speeded across Star's face. She got up and tip toed towards Robin's desk and computer. There she found a mug with pencils, pens, and markers. She picked up a black marker and turned to fast. She bumped into the mouse which turned the screen saver off the screen to show Robin's desktop. On it was a picture of Robin and herself playing around with silly string from a wild party at the other tower. Star smiled brightly. A "Yahoo" AIM list appeared up. It had all the Titans names on it, there allies, the police Dep, Fire Dep., Hospital., Mayor., and other important buildings. But one she did not recognize… An IM appeared on the screen with a camera recorder.
Hello Robin, I hope you have thought about your plans hourly… he bent over in the screen
Starfire did not know what to do…
Slade looked closely into the camera. Wait, ahhh I see…. You are not Robin. Please tell me silly girl… ahem… Starfire…. Where may he be.
Starfire's eyes glowed furiously. None of your flogflornargs… Why do you still haunt Robin, you are nothing but an insolent fargfufecktublen… Robin is not worthy of your time, and I believe you are wasting yours too, as Raven would say, you are too "obtuse".
Slade glared Such wise yet foolish words for Robin's best friend… more of a frie-
Starfire clicked the "X" of the Instant messenger box. But another AIM appeared.
I'll just tell Robin our little plans later… Stalk you guys later. logged off
Starfire turned off the computer. Robin would never do such a thing. I do not believe the Slade. Now I must calm myself by doing the meditating… Oh! Right!
Starfire pulled off the marker cap and flew lightly by Robin's side. She giggled. On the corners of Robin's mask she drew lines on his skin. The lines connected to Robin's ears, making it look like robin is wearing glasses. She drew a circle on each check, and bushy eye brows at the top. And for my finishing's… she drew a bushy mustache and beard. A light shone into Star's eyes as the sun made its way into the window. The dawn has ended for that now the sun rises and climbs up on the mountains. Starfire got up, capped the marker, put it back into the mug, and then jumped into the bed pretending she was asleep.
Robin moaned and yawned as he stretched to awake himself. He rubbed the back of his neck and twisted it a bit. He got up and looked at Star. Thank Goodness the covers were over my mouth so he could not hear me laugh nor see my smile. Robin went into the bath room and froze in the mirror. Yet on his collar bone, it had said, "Starfire, I believe, was here." He now had the sneer look upon his face.
Starfire's eyes opened, she did not hear the screaming yet. She wondered if he was too tired to see himself in the mirror. She heard a flush, the sink turn on then off, then shut her eyes again once she heard the door open. Robin peaked in his about to starfire. The sneer evil smile came on again… Sorry Star, but revenge is sweet…. Robin had tooth paste in his hand. He slowly and silently uncapped it then threw it in the bathroom. Robin soon ran over to Starfire and jumped on her on top of the covers. Her eyes grew wide in shock, she looked up to find Robin pouring tooth paste in her hair. They both screamed. But Robin crawled under the covers and tickled her. They both laughed immensely!
Robin shouted out, "WAIT! My digital camera has been charged up, let's take a picture!"
Starfire agreed, "What a splendid idea indeed, friend!"
Robin climbed out of the bed towards the camera on the desk, luckily the screensaver was on so he did not notice Starfire was snooping.
"Ready?" Robin and Starfire did a silly pose under the covers with their messed up face appearances. Click, FLASH, done! Robin moved the mouse on his computer as the screen appeared, no "yahoo" list. But he opened up his camera's digital download page. The picture was downloaded, and was now his new desktop feature. He emailed the picture to Starfire's computer in her room so that she could save it too. Starfire hugged Robin with imaginary hearts. Robin brought his arm over to hug her head with his as he patted her ear. I hope he does not give me the "noogie", I believe my hair has been through the torture enough…. OO But not his… Starfire soon gave Robin the noogie then they fell on the floor laughing again.
