Chapter 11 (One Awkward 'Date'.)
Robin stood up he finally began to remember what he had to do today; sadly he didn't remember the part about him telling Star he loved her. But he did manage to remember that Star needed to go back to the hospital today. He figured that was priority. That could get called away any second, and it was hard to fight when you're sick. But what if she wasn't sick? No, she was-she had to be sick… It was the only logical explanation. Of course Star wasn't always logical… I mean drinking mustard? Unethical. Liking to drink Mustard, was a whole new realm of illogical. Star's realm. It must be hard to be an Alien… Robin sighed as he pulled himself out of bed.
Star sat up after waking up again. Pain pinched her lightly around her stomach. Almost like a snake teasing a mouse, preparing for the final strike… "Ow", her heart sizzled. I'm not sure exactly what it feels like to have a sizzling heart, but I can guess that it isn't pleasant. She winced horribly, and tried to roll onto her side, hoping to kill the pain. She succeeded at rolling over; in fact she rolled clear off her bed, and onto the hard floor. "Ow." She heard a knock at her door. She immediately pulled herself off the floor, and brushed off her skirt, and tried not to look like she was in pain, "Come in." "Ready to go Star?" "Umm, Yes. Just one moment please." Ashe hobbled over to her door, and held her breath, then opened the door, "Let us go."
Robin lead Star into the kitchen, where Beastboy, Cyborg, and Raven sat/floated in their usual spots. "Come on team we're going to the doctors now." Cyborg shot Beastboy a look, "Uh, sorry, man, I have to polish the T car…" "Umm, yeah, and I have to… Meditate…" Robin looked at Beastboy, understanding what they were doing. They were trying to force Star and Robin into being alone, together. But Robin wasn't ready to be alone with Star, what would he say? "How about I love you?" he asked himself, "Shut up." "Yeah, dude, I have to…to…to… walk the dog", said Beastboy. "Beastboy, we don't have a dog", said Robin. "Oh, I meant me…As a dog… walking myself…in the park…" Cyborg glared at him, so he decided to shut up. "Ok then, it's just you and me Star", Robin turned to leave, but he could still hear. "So Beastboy, do you often walk yourself in the park?" "Shut up."
Star and Robin headed out the door together. Robin scanned his head for something to talk about, anything to talk about, but his mind was empty. So they just walked in silence for a while. Star winced and clutched her stomach, she was in pain true but not the usual pain she had been feeling it was deep in the pit of her stomach. When all of a sudden, it growled at her! "My stomach is becoming an evil beast!" She thought as she began to panic. "Oh Star I'm so stupid, we forgot to eat breakfast!" Robin remembered, well at least there wasn't an awkward silence anymore... "Why don't we go eat before going to the doctors, we left early for your appointment…" Star nodded her head in agreement, her heart seemed to tilt and rock back and forth, as if deciding whether to hurt or not. She was safe for the moment.
Robin and Star changed their path slightly. It was still kind of early, but more people were starting to come out of their houses. Teen boys looked at Star, waiting as she passed, but then they'd see Robin, and would turn away disappointed. Robin felt proud walking with Star. And Star felt safe, and just happy when walking with Robin. After a while they found a breakfast only restaurant. By that time Robin had really ran out of things to say, and so he was glad to let the chatty waitress take over, "Hiya! Welcome to…to…to…umm… Our Restaurant! Here are your seats I'll give you a minute to look over your menu, then I'll be back to take your order."
Robin sadly watched the waitress go, and he watched as the waitress turned to the cashier. "Oh My GOOLASHES! Do you know who those two are?" asked the cashier. "Umm, 2 very oddly dressed teenagers?" "Don't you know anything? That's Starfire, and Robin!" The waitress still wore a puzzled face. "You know, from the teen titans the team that keeps our city safe! Get the camera!" "Umm, why?" "Duh, to get their picture to add to the list of famous people who ate at Our Restaurant!" The waitress twirled around looking at the store, "But nobody famous has eaten here yet, we don't have a list." "We will once you go get the camera!"
"So… What are you ordering, Star?" Asked Robin nervously. "Umm… I don't see Zoraflakes, so I guess I'll have to go with the…Cranberry pancakes… What is a pancake? They aren't going to make me eat a pan are they?" "Umm, Star maybe you should go with cereal. How about…that one." "Ok", said Star happy, as ever, she trusted Robin's judgment. Meanwhile the waitress came rushing over with a camera, "Say cheese!" "Huh?" Both Star and robin were caught off guard, and yet the picture still turned out well. Star and Robin got up to study the picture. The waitress studied it, hand on one hip grinning broadly, "You two make such a great couple!" Star's heart did a flip; somebody thought they were a couple, and a cute one too. Of course she wasn't quite sure what a couple was, but she had a pretty good idea. "Oh we aren't a couple", Robin assured the waitress. Star's heart fell, all of a sudden she found herself in agonizing pain as if someone had twisted her heart, and she collapsed. "Oh MY Goolashes! Our Restaurants food is killing her and she hasn't even eaten any yet!" The waitress shrieked. Robin bent down next to Star, he'd never seen it coming, "Star, Star what's wrong? Can you hear me?" No answer. "Sorry, forget about our order, I have to get her to the doctor." The waitress nodded with a sigh, she ripped the photo in half as she saw them go, "So much for famous list…"
A/N: Isn't it cool how ditzy people often have good ideas? ;) If he would have just said yes this story would have been over a lot quicker…
