Beginning again...

Starfire stood before the three way mirror at the back of the dress shop, examining herself from every angle possible.

"Are you planning to leave any time within the next century? Because if not I think I'd better get another book..." Raven looked up from the horror novel in her hands, her dress in a bag at her side.

"Raven, I do not wish for my attire to look unflattering..."

"Why? So you can impress your boyfriend?"" Starfire whipped around her eyes glowing dangerously green.

"Scorpio is my EX-"

"I was meant Robin."

"...oh..." Starfire blushed deeply, choosing to look at herself some more instead of properly answering.

Shaking her head, Raven returned to her book.

"STARRY!" A grand voice echoed throughout the shop. "May I be the first to say that you look positively ravishing in that dress." Scorpio stepped majestically up to the alien girl, his shoulder length blond hair waving madly. He wasted no time in wrapping his arms protectively around Starfire, much to her dismayal.

"Please...release me..." Raven chose the quicker method.

"Get LOST!" She flew up, eyes red with fury, and slammed her fist deep into Scorpio's side. If Beast Boy could use his powers, so could she. The blue clad alien sailed across the room, hitting the wall that knocked him unconscious. She turned back to Starfire, normal again yet annoyed. "A word of advice to keep this from happening again: Don't fall for hot jerks."

"What should we do about Scorp-"

"Just leave him. He'll be fine. Now pick a dress and lets get out of here."

Robin rushed into the dress store where he had told Starfire to go, but she didn't seem to be there. After carefully checking every corner of the shop with no luck as to finding the two female Titans, he gave up and made his way to the cashier.

"Hi. Have you seen two girls, one with long red hair, green eyes, and wearing a purple...outfit...and the other with a blue cloak and violet hair?" The cashier slowly looked up from her magazine.

"Oh...my...God...you're a Teen Titan ain't you?"

"...uh..."

"Wow...holy crap you're Robin ain't you?"

"...yeah...but..."

"Oh God, honey, my friends had told me you was hot, but you are smokin..."

"...um..."

"GOD you've got muscles-"

"HAVE YOU SEEN THEM OR NOT?"

"Yes! God, don't have to go all crazy on me...God...superheroes these days...Breath sweetie or your gonna have yourself a heart attack..." The cashier pointed at the dressing room. "They were here a few minutes ago...I don't know where they went, but they left some guy behind...knocked him cold too...I put him in the dressing room. He was driving away the customers." She spoke as though guys getting knocked out in her store was a normal thing.

"...thanks..." The cashier winked as Robin dashed to the back. Flinging open the dressing room door, he laid eyes on the last person he wanted to see.

Oh boy...

"I believe the shop of tuxedos was in this direction..." Starfire turned left upon reaching a tiny cafe, her bagged dress swinging merrily beside her.

"I'm following an alien around a mall. How quaint." Raven scanned the sea of heads for herself, then suddenly thrust out her arm. "There!" Grabbing Starfire by the arm the empath lead her shopping companion to the tuxedo shop. Beast Boy stood outside, two bags in tow.

"Hey!"

"Where is Robin?" Starfire looked worried.

"Beats me. He took off about fifteen minutes ago. The only thing he told me was to buy the tux." Beast Boy shrugged.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." Raven shifted her weight from one foot to the other.

"So did you guys find your dresses?"

"Indeed! After careful consideration we chose pleasing gowns to ball in! We have acquired the making-up solutions and accessories as well!"

Raven sighed.

Robin was tempted to just slam the door and walk away. But, of course, he couldn't do that. He was a superhero, remember? An example to the world...a public figure.

"Always do what is right." Batman had said, "No matter how much you dislike it."

If the Boy wonder just left an unconscious guy in a dressing room, well, how would that look? What kind of example would he be setting?"

"...I really hate my life sometimes..."

Slowly, Robin bent down and prodded Scorpio's lifeless figure.

"Hey...wake ON get UP!" Robin kicked the blond, who grunted and slowly cracked an eye open.

"Are you finished unfairly attacking me?" The Boy Wonder jumped back as the Tamaranian rose. "You know, it isn't very manly to attack someone while they are unconscious..."

"What're you doing here?" Scorpio laughed.

"Shouldn't that be quite obvious? I need a suit." He held out a bag as proof. "I was so hurt when Starry didn't invite me to come to the mall with her so I came to find her first. You know, just to let her know that there were no hard feelings for excluding me...But then that witch attacked me...poor Starry must've been out of her mind with worry..."

"Oh yeah, she way so concerned that she left you here." Robin rolled his eyes.

"...Such hostility. And to think, all because of a girl..."

"This has NOTHING to do with Star-"

"Oh, but I beg to differ. Your love for her is painfully obvious, mortal." Scorpio smiled mercilessly. "You love her but you're too much of a coward to tell her. Which, in my opinion, is exactly why you don't deserve her."

"I'm NOT a coward-"

"Really? I'd like to test that." Robin could feel his body tensing. "What do you say we have a...a duel of dance?"

"...a what of who?" Scorpio pointed to the store directly across from the dress shop.

Well, arcade was a better term for it.

"You've GOT to be kidding me Scorpio..."

"How long is he going to take?" Raven, annoyed enough already, was in no mood to stay in a sweltering mall any longer than she had to.

"How should I know? He just threw his tux in my arms and ran off..." Beast Boy was dying of shear boredom. Where was Cy when you needed him?

"Friends, I am concerned for Robin...perhaps he is in trouble..."

"He's FINE Starfire..." Raven leaned against the display window of the store. A pack of preps (A/N: Queen-Of-Azarath is RIGHT! PREPS TRAVEL IN PACKS! hehehe whiiiile i'm at it...READ HER FANFICTION!) was making it's way over to the cafe in the corner. One girl ran into a wall in the process.

"Hey, check ME out!" Beast Boy had leapt into the display window and stripped a suit off of one of the mannequins and was now posing stylishly (and stupidly) in it beside the naked dress up doll.

"Beast Boy..." A vein pulsed in Raven's forehead. Quickly, she turned away. Near the cafe, a prep holding a frappuccino screamed as it exploded.

"Friends, what is happening over there? Is that some sort of Earthen custom to gather around a store with so many flashing neon illuminations?" Beast Boy returned the suit to it's proper owner and began to journey towards the crowd.

"Let's go check it out! If it's in the arcade it's bound to be good."

"What about Robin?" Raven stayed where she was. The Changeling answered without looking at her.

"He'll find us. C'mon!"

The three trotted over to the packed arcade. Elbowing their way to the front, they saw the last thing they expected to see.

"...I think we found him..."
