Surprise, surprise, people! I'm adding another chapter to this story! I wanted to leave it as a one-shot, but I started developing an actual story for it! Go figure!

Chapter 2. Progress

It was an intense workout. Starfire, sweaty from the day's training, was somewhat chagrined that she had to take ANOTHER shower. She had taken one before training and now she needed another!

After she was finished, she couldn't help but think of the seeds she had planted earlier that day, and began to fill her heart with anticipation of the day they would finally bloom into the flowers she would present to Robin.

The clerk at the flower shop had told her these flowers were very special, and that it would be quite a surprise when he got them! Starfire yawned, and decided to have a small nap, for the day's training had taken quite a bit of energy from her.

Upon waking from her nap, Starfire looked at her little Mumbo alarm clock to check the time. Robin had taught her how to read Earth time, and her eyes followed the position of each hand. She had learned quickly and Robin complimented her on how smart she was. Starfire smiled as she remembered that day, and read her clock, figuring out the time. 'The smaller hand is on the 2, and the larger hand is on the 6. 2:30, it is 2:30! The others must be worried!'

The alien girl hurriedly floated down to the common room, but found nobody there. She began to grow worried. "Friends? Are you there? Is anyone here? Hello?" No answer. She decided that she had to look for them, to make sure they were still in the tower.

She first checked the garage, and was relieved to see Cyborg happily working on the T-car. Starfire approached him, knowing her concerns had been all but lifted. "Cyborg, have you seen the others? I had hoped that we could do the 'hanging out', for there is not much else I can do since my garden needs time to grow." He didn't give a response, because just as Starfire was dedicated to tending to her garden, Cyborg was equally dedicated to keeping his 'baby' in top condition.

However, he broke from his reverie just in time, before Starfire was about to leave because she didn't get an immediate response. "Huh? Oh, hey Star. I been down here pretty much all day, so I haven't seen any of the others. Maybe you'd wanna help me out. You know, for somethin' to do." The half-mechanical hero then thought, 'I'd better make sure it's something simple, don't want her doing something that might ruin the delicate technology.'

Starfire wasn't sure what to think, since he'd never asked her to assist him with the T-car, or any other one of his creations before. "I…well, I suppose that I can provide assistance, Cyborg. However, I fear that I am not as skilled with technology as you."

Cyborg smiled at the alien princess. "Hey, no problem. You can just hand me stuff when I ask for it, that's something you can handle, right?" Starfire beamed, knowing that she was perfectly capable of this task. "Oh, yes! I believe that I can provide much needed assistance in that respect!"

Cyborg then dropped a nut into a discarded hubcap and grinned. "Well, all right! So now, could you hand me that wrench there?"

Starfire eagerly looked into the toolbox, only to be confronted with several objects that appeared completely foreign to her. She saw the wrench Cyborg needed, but had no idea what it was so she took out a screwdriver instead. "I believe this is the tool needed, yes?" Cyborg laughed slightly at the girl's confusion, but in his head he grew a bit anxious. 'She can't tell a wrench from a screwdriver. I'd better explain EVERYTHING to her.'

"No, no, Star. That's a screwdriver." He then took out the wrench from the toolbox and showed her. "THIS is a wrench!" Starfire placed her hand behind her head and giggled in obvious embarrassment. "Oh, forgive me, Cyborg! I am unfamiliar with Earthly repairing tools, as well as the fact that I am a girl, and as Beast Boy had said in the past, I would not be able to tell the difference between them, anyway."

Cyborg's eyes went wide. "WHAT? You playin' me, girl? Oh, I am definitely gonna have a talk with him about that!" The alien girl was confused. "What has gotten you agitated so, Cyborg? Is this not…"

Cyborg cut her off. "No, Star. I know what you were gonna say, and it's NOT true. A girl can do anything a guy can! Just remember that, all right?"

Starfire nodded. "I shall. Is there any other way I can be of assistance?" Cyborg thought for a moment, then it just hit him. "Well, if you don't mind, you could lift up the front end so I can check the suspension."

Star clapped her hands in joy at the fact that she could provide this service for him. "Oh, Cyborg! I shall gladly perform this task for you!"

She then put her hands firmly underneath the bumper, and with a somewhat strained groan, lifted the front of the car up above her head. Cyborg examined the underside of the vehicle. "Everything seems to be fine there. Thanks Star, that was a big help!"

Starfire lowered the car back onto the ground and gave a beaming grin to her cybernetic friend. "I welcome you, Cyborg. I believe I shall now see if I can locate any of the others."

Cyborg smiled at the teen princess. "Hey, no problem! You just remember what I told you, and don't always believe what BB tells ya, alright?" She nodded. "Agreed. I promise, he shall not deceive me with his falseness any more." She then flew out of the garage, back up to the common room.
