Now on to the story…..
Day One:
At that moment in time, Raven came into the common room. She was holding a book and walking over to get a cup of water.
"Oh, Raven," Beast Boy said in his most sing-song voice.
"What do you want, now, Beast Boy," Raven said back to him without looking up.
"We, need your help on something…" Beast Boy said tapping the seat next to him. Raven's eyebrows went up, but she walked over there and sat down. Then, Beast Boy and Cyborg told her the plan…
"It seems like a desperate attempt for Beast Boy to try to get something to happen here," Raven said.
"But it's a good idea, right?" Beast Boy asked her.
"I'll do it, but I won't promise I like it," Raven told them.
"So that means that you're on our side right? You agree that Robin will still be in love with Starfire at the end of 10 days?" Cyborg asked her.
"No. It just merely means that I am doing this at a neutral stand. MEANING, for you Beast Boy, in case you don't understand… I'm doing it so that you can stop bugging me after this," Raven said to him with ice dripping from every word.
"Well, at least you're helping!" Beast Boy said with a grin.
A few 30 minutes later when Robin comes out of the shower….
Robin was on his way to his bedroom when he saw Raven.
"Hey, Raven," he said as he headed down the hallway.
"You know, Robin. You like… Starfire don't you?" Raven asked him as she slowly approached him.
"Umm…I guess.. I mean.. I just don't know if…" he said sheepishly as he rubbed his neck back and forth.
"If she likes you too," Raven finished his sentence.
"I… wish I had the guts to tell her, but, I'm just afraid," Robin admitted.
"Then ask her out on a date. Go on. She likes you," Raven said.
"How do you know if she likes me or not?" Robin asked her.
"I can read minds, remember?" Raven said in her monotone voice.
"Oh. Right. Umm.. maybe I should just ask her.. next week then or something," Robin said turning away from her wanting to get away from the subject.
"NO!" Raven yelled at him. Robin turned back to look at her.
"I mean… you should just ask her today. We have nothing going on, and it would be great… you guys can… go out to eat or something," Raven said back to him. Robin thought for a second.
"I guess… but… she won't reject me, right?" Robin asked her.
"I promise, she will not reject you. She's head over heels in love with you," Raven said turning away happy that her job was now finished. She left Robin there thinking to himself.
1 hour later when Robin finally gets the guts to ask Starfire….
"Okay, remember. Say yes. And don't forget what I told you," Beast Boy told her.
"I am still uncertain. I do not wish to hurt Robin, he is my friend," Starfire told him.
"You'll be fine. Just don't chicken out and whatever you do, DON'T TELL HIM ABOUT THE BET!" Cyborg told her.
"Very well…" Starfire said still with uncertainty. She then did what Beast Boy told her to do. Raven had already told Robin to ask her out, and Starfire slowly walked down to Robin's room. She was just about to knock when the door opened.
"Starfire?" Robin said. His face grew red.
"Hello, friend Robin," Starfire said. She looked down at the ground.
"Hey, umm.. Star. I was wondering if, you know, you want to go out with me tonight," Robin said growing another shade of red.
"You mean, as a date?" Starfire asked him. 'So Raven did do the job,' she thought as she saw Robin rub his neck.
"Well, yea, I mean, no. I mean yes. I mean no. I mean yes yes yes," Robin finally said, "Yes, as a date."
"I would love to!" Starfire said with fake enthusiasm. If this was really what Robin had said if she wasn't on the bet, she would have been delighted. But, with the bet, all the arrows and directions were pointing the wrong way.
"Great, so… I'll see you in the common room, later at 7? We can go eat or something. I'll make the reservations. But for right now I think I'll just go workout some more for a bit," Robin said.
"Very well. See you tonight then, Robin!" Starfire yelled as she walked fast down the hallway and back to the common room to where Beast Boy and Cyborg were waiting.
"So how'd it go?" Beast Boy asked her raising his eyebrows.
"Robin says that he will see me tonight in the common room at 7," Starfire said, "Beast Boy, I truly am unsure of whether or not this is still a good idea. I see the humor in it, but I do not wish to hurt Robin in any way. He is such a wonderful friend and he has always been there for me," Starfire said. Tears were beginning to form from her eyes.
"Starfire, it will all be okay. It's just a fun joke to do," Beast Boy said as he gently pushed her shoulder.
"Yea, Star. You'll be fine. So will Robin. Besides, if you quit on us now, it will make us really really sad, won't it BB?" Cyborg said nudging Beast Boy.
"Wha? Oh ya! Yea… really really sad!" Beast Boy told her. Starfire sighed.
"I… do not wish to make anybody cry. But hopefully, Robin will understand, if he finds out," Starfire said to them.
"Great! Now, I need you to go do something for Robin. He's gotta stop working out," Beast Boy said winking nonstop.
"Man, you just look constipated like that!" Cyborg told him, "Just tell us your idea."
So 20 minutes later….
Starfire walked into the workout room. There was Robin punching the punch bag as hard as he could. Sweat dripped from his forehead like crazy, but he didn't stop.
"Robin?" Starfire asked him.
"Yea, Star?" Robin said stopping to go get a drink.
"Would you… go watch a movie with me in the common room please?" Starfire asked him.
"Umm, Star. Our date is tonight. Plus, I'm sort of working out here," Robin said to her.
"Oh, but it would be even more wondrous if you joined me, Robin! I also believe that you would most enjoy the movie!" Starfire told him with hope in her eyes.
"Well, what kind of movie is it?" Robin asked, "You know I love action movies."
"It is a wonderful movie Robin! It has got everything in it! Oh please! It would make me most happy!" Starfire told him as she opened her innocent eyes wide.
"Okay," Robin said smiling. He then walked with her out to the common room. Starfire pressed a button on the remote, and the movie started.
45 minutes later….
"Oh, Robin! Is it not the most beautiful movie ever? I have never seen the life of a fish with the name of Nemo!" Starfire said giddily.
"Yea, Star. This movie is really really awesome. I mean, Finding Nemo has so much action in it, it's not even funny," Robin said almost sarcastically, "Um, Star, I thought you said it was an action movie."
"Robin, do you not see the action? The fishes are moving and moving is a form of action!" Starfire said.
"Uh, yea," Robin said feeling as if he should've trained some more instead of watching some movie about a fish.
At the end of the movie….
By the end of the movie, Robin practically had been snoring, and Starfire was crying because she thought it was such a beautiful movie. It was almost 7 o clock.
"Star, I made a reservation at the best restaurant in town!" Robin said, happy now that the date was going to start and the movie ended.
"Oh joyful! I cannot wait! I am feeling quite ravenous," Starfire said.
"You want to take my R-cycle?" Robin asked her.
"Anything will do fine, friend Robin," Starfire said smiling.
They walked out of the common room on their way to the R-cycle when Starfire passed Cyborg and Beast Boy. Cyborg gave her two thumbs up and Beast Boy gave her a wink. Starfire could only smile weakly.
Robin handed her a helmet and she put it on. She held on to him as they left the tower and towards the city.
Giant's Steakhouse, 7 o clock, Robin and Starfire's table:
"How about I order for you? I know what's good here," Robin said.
"Very well, Robin. I trust you," Starfire said. And so they talked a little bit, and then the food finally came.
"One Giant Steak," the waitress said putting down the food on Starfire's table. All of the sudden, Starfire remembered something Beast Boy told her. She put her hand to her face and began to fake cry. "Waaa!" she yelled and the nearby tables turned to look at her.
"Star, what's wrong?" Robin asked her. He sounded really worried.
"Robin, it is just that… I do not… devour meat!" she cried into both hands now.
"What? But, you always ate meat before that Cyborg made," Robin said alarmed.
"Robin, I just decided to become a vegetarian!" Starfire said, continuing to cry, "Robin, I think I am going to throw up. Please, take it away. I cannot eat it," Starfire remarked making a throwing up noise.
"But," Robin said.
"I cannot! Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb…" Starfire sang and suddenly stopped and began crying again. Robin sighed.
"So, where do you want to eat?" Robin asked. His plans were now ruined. How would he know that Starfire had suddenly decided to not eat meat?
"Robin, I must go to the restroom very quick. Please, take it away and may we go someplace else?" Starfire asked him before getting up.
"Umm, sure, Star," Robin said and he called a waiter to come and get the food.
Starfire disappeared and on her way to the bathroom, she made a turn and went into the kitchen. As they had agreed, Cyborg was there, holding up a hamburger with mustard for her.
"Friend, Cyborg. Robin is really sad," Starfire asked taking the hamburger from him. She took a bite.
"It's all part of the process, Star," Cyborg reassured her. Star took another bite and another. When she was finished, she wiped her mouth, and said, "I shall see you later, then, friend Cyborg!" Starfire then walked out and headed back to the table.
Robin was just sitting there, wondering how his plans were ruined and how come Starfire had the sudden interest to not eat meat.
"So, I've heard of a great vegetarian place we can go to," Robin said.
"Very well, let us be on our way then, shall we?" Starfire told him with a smile, "Robin, I am very sorry. I should have told you that I had the sudden disinterest to eat meat."
"Naw, Star, it's not your fault. I should have asked you," Robin said. They headed out of the restaurant and onto Robin's R-cycle.
Mao's Chinese Vegetarian Restaurant…
The restaurant was not totally filled up and they got a table right away. The food came, and Stafire ate hers like there was no end. Robin, meanwhile, began picking at his food. "This stuff's for cows," he muttered to himself.
"Did you say something, Robin?" Starfire asked him. It was the first time she had gotten up for air from the food.
"No, I didn't say anything," Robin said back to her with a fake smile and continued to pick on his food. Starfire, began eating, eating so hard, that rice and vegetables began to flying everywhere. A piece of broccoli landed on a nearby table and the occupants looked at it with their eyebrows raised. Robin saw it all. "Umm, Star, can you, try not to eat like that? I mean, I realize that you're hungry, but… umm… you know… it's a restaurant," Robin said to her.
"Did I embarrass you?" Starfire asked him. She then began to pretend crying again into her napkin. "I am so sorry Robin! I did not know!" starfire began kicking and crying.
"Did you need, something, miss?" a nearby waiter asked her.
"No, it is fine… it is just that… MY DATE BELIEVES THAT I AM OVERWEIGHT AND HE IS EMBARRASSED TO BE SEEN WITH ME," Starfire cried some more. She had yelled so loud, the whole restaurant was now looking at their table. The waiter raised her eyebrows and gave Robin a stern look. All the girls at the other tables looked at Starfire with distressing faces and gave Robin death glares.
"Poor thing," was all that Robin heard from all the other tables. He began to grow red and began to rub his neck.
"I don't… think you're fat, Star. I was just asking you-" Robin was immediately cut off by Starfire's hysterical tears.
"You gasp could have gasp told me gasp that you did not gasp wish to gasp be seen with such an ugly gasp person!" Starfire yelled and got up and said, "I must go to the bathroom to shed my tears!" And with that, she left.
As agreed, Beast Boy was there, smiling. "I saw your little fiasco," he said smiling, "Very good acting." Starfire looked a little sad.
"I hope that Robin will forgive me after all this," she said shaking her head slightly from side to side.
"Look, Star. Cyborg and I already told you. You'll be fine," Beast Boy said grabbing a hold of her shoulders. She turned to look up at his eyes.
"Very well," she muttered accepting the bottle of mustard that Beast Boy offered her.
"Now go get back to him," Beast Boy said turning her around and gently pushing her towards the door.
Starfire walked out to Robin and said, "Robin, I am ready to leave, now."
Robin paid for the check, and they left on his R-cycle without saying another word until they got back to the tower.
Back at the tower….
"Look, Star, I'm really sorry about that. I wasn't embarrassed to be seen with you, and I definitely don't think you're fat," Robin said.
"I believe you now, Robin," Starfire told him avoiding eye contact.
"You do? Great! So…would it be okay if… I ask you to go out with me… tomorrow?" Robin asked, filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"I," Starfire began, but Robin cut her off.
"It can be your choice. Whatever you want to do," Robin said with haste.
"May we journey to the world of shopping?" Starfire asked him with hope in her beautiful green eyes.
"Yes, Star. Your choice," Robin said smiling. With that, he leaned in, gave her a kiss, and said, "Good night, Star."
"Good night, Robin," Starfire said turning back to go into her room in daze.
