Authors Note: I am so so sorry about delaying you guys! Now let's get on with the story!
"Oh! Is this not the most precious garment you have ever set your eyes upon?" Starfire said clutching the pink layette set in her hands. She hugged it near her in admiration.
"Just adorable," Raven said wryly pouting as she sat on the floor. Starfire glided towards the bibs and other baby necessities. "Could we just get the diapers and leave?"
"Absolutely not! For a small bomgorf like Altaira she needs much more than just mere," Starfire paused thinking of the word she was about to say.
"Diapers?" Raven added as she sighed. Her fist held up her cheek.
"Yes! One's you call diapers." Starfire said pulling a bunch of other baby clothes in the basket.
"Is that one really necessary?" Raven questioned dryly and bored.
"Which one?" Starfire asked naively.
"The one with the polka dots and the-"
"Huh?" Starfire looked into her basket and found a revolting outfit unable to explain in mere words. The out fit was considered a clown costume for Halloween. Though this one would rather scare you to death than charm you.
It was yellow polyester/spandex (in which most super heroes' ware.) With red polka dots that made your eyes spin in discomfort. Then came the worst part of the outfit, the green/lime bunny rabbits hopping all over making your eyes twirl so much you will see the back of your head. Or at least that's what happened to Starfire.
Starfire gasped and staggered as she almost fell. Raven got up to catch her if she fell. "Take the horrid garment away!"
"I actually thought you would like it." Raven said critically laughing to herself.
"It is not that I do not like this garment, it is that I am allergic to it." Starfire said closing her eyes.
"You're allergic to polyester? And spandex?" Raven asked awkwardly. She thought of Robin. All he wears is spandex and polyester!
"No, no. Tamarainians cannot see red, green and yellow mixed together for it makes they're eyes spin. Oh it is the most to my discomfort!"
"Ok." Raven said quickly with no questions asked.

"Beast boy calling Robin, -Beast Boy calling Robin." Beast Boy said into his communicator in one hand and Altaira in the other.
She cried and wailed for 45 minutes strait. "Come on you have to tire out at some time!" Beast Boy complained to her.
"Gyrrwwwap!" Altaira cried clutching Beast Boy's green hair.
"I told you I can't change you till Robin comes back with the diapers! I used every thing in the tower up!"
Beast Boy did use and usable object to cover the baby's bottom. For paper towels to the window curtains, he was out.
The baby settled to a whimper and leaned on Beast Boys shoulder. It gave him some confidence and respect. 'Ok Beast Boy here's your chance!'
Beast Boy opened his mouth awkwardly and started to sing:
"Rock a bye baby on the tree top, something blows and something rocks, something, something, something the cradle will fall and down come baby cradle and something." Altaira quieted to sleep on his shoulder and Beast Boy settled on the couch. They both drifted off to dreamland.
"Thank you."

« Ok can we go now? » Asked Raven as she followed Starfire into another store which was definitely not a baby store. Starfire failed to realize and Raven didn't care to pay attention.
"Um yes friend, but please tell me what is the meaning of this word lingerie is?"
Raven bit her lip and blushed. They were in Victoria's Secret. "What is this secret every one fails to know?"
"It's a secret that's why," Raven said grabbing Starfire's arm which was occupied with shopping bags. "Ok we should meet Robin at the main entrance rite?"
"Agreed."
Raven led Starfire out of the store and into the hallways of the mall. "Ok we went left, so we should go rite now, right?"
"Correct!" Starfire agreed. They walked passed the boutiques and people stared at them in amazement. A small girl spotted the two and went up to Starfire. Raven not realizing walked passed the mob of shoppers and continued.
The small girl, young in her day with black pigtails, bright blue eyes and pale skin skipped towards Starfire and sweetly smiled.
"May I have your autograph?"
"Surely!" Starfire said excitingly as she took a pen and paper from the young girl's hands. She signed her name and handed it back to her. She hugged Starfire by the waste squeezing her tightly. She hugged her gently back trying not to crush the girl like she crushed her other friends.
The sweet girl waved good bye and Starfire noticed something on her arm. It was black and bumpy. Instantly Starfire asked. "What had ever happened to your arm?" She asked softly.
The girl's eyes watered as she looked down to the ground.
"C'mon! We have to go!" A deeper voice shouted from behind the crowd.
"My house burned down. You saved me, and my mom." She said grimly. "It was a long time ago. I want to show this to her."
Starfire felt great grief. "Perhaps you wish to obtain a gift?" Starfire said. The girl's eyes sparkled.
"Here, sweet little one." She said digging her hand into her bad taking out a chenille teddy bear with pink soft ears and a blue button nose.
The girl grabbed it delightfully and hugged it adoringly. "It looks just like my teddy I got when I was 1!" She said excitingly. "He died in the fire, also with my other toys."
Starfire smiled her eyes watering too. She hugged her back and patted her on the head, "I must leave you now! Perhaps we could meet another day!"
She smiled. "I would like that." She said walking away. "My name is Altaira."

"Starfire I think we turn by the "Toys 'r us-"Raven looked around failing to see any sign of Starfire. "Oh great, now she's lost!"
