CHAPTER 5
A Desperate Act of Attention
Raven slowly blinked her eyes open. Unfamiliar outlines of strange objects shown dimly in the little light in the room. Raven shot up and looked around, she then noticed that she was in Robin's room. She pulled the blanket up covering herself and then look another good look around the room.
Light from under the door shinned more brightly then the small lap on the desk. Her eyes gazed over to the newspaper clippings but then looked away uninterested seeing that she couldn't read them from her distance or from the minimum amount of light. Raven then looked down beside her and noticed that Robin was gone.
She pulled the covers off her and stood up and stretched. Her pale skinny body shivered in the coldness and she started to reach for her clothes.
The dark girl was then faced with a problem. All there was on the chair was the violet-magenta dress that she wore last night on their date.
Raven senses instantly went on high alert and some of the articles on wall where blown off as she smiled ecstatically and giggled quietly as she gazed down on the ring she wore on her finger.
She danced over to her dress and picked it up and prepared to morph to her room. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos," she whispered. A blast of powers rocked the room and Raven stood shaking. Okay, I'm way too happy to get my powers working…shit, she thought
Her feet padded quietly on the cold tiled floor as she made her way over to Robin's dresser. She pulled out a long T-shirt and a pair of shorts and dressed herself in them. She gathered the dress in her arms and then peeked out the door. After making sure the hallway was clear she made her dash to her bedroom.

Starfire slowly opened her amethyst eyes. Her eyes gazed over familiar outlines of objects shown dimly in the little light in the room. She had woken up in Robin's room…again.
Starfire gathered up her black uniform and blue cloak and dressed her pale body. She stretched and her shinning ring shown in the dark room as the light hit it.
The girl smirked and boldly exited Robin's bedroom and headed towards the kitchen.
Raven sat at the table slurping on the mustard bottle, her scantily dressed body was relaxed and positioned so Robin could have a good look at her. She may have curves, Starfire thought, but I have my man.
Robin started to leave the room and Raven jumped up and followed her.
"So Robin I was wondering if you want to hang out at the mall with me? Please c'mon it'll be fun!" She pleaded. Robin just looked at her strangely and just walked away.
Starfire floated up to beside Raven, "I knew this day would come: the day your attitude went from positive to desperate."
Starfire then flew up to Robin and kissed him on the cheek while he placed his arm around his waist. Starfire turned her head around and sneered at the lonely little pathetic alien.
I wanna try your shoes on
And wear them for a day
Learn to talk like you do
And say what I see
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Starfire groan and slammed down on the alarm clock hard then she meant and it shattered under her ferocious fist of fury. Starfire sighed and lifted the covers off her frail looking body. Dreams, that's all they are and all they'll ever be.
Starfire hated moments like this. No matter how much you tell yourself that it's never going to happen, dreams of him haunt you like a bad nightmare even if you're in total sweet bliss for the nine hours you spend living your fantasy.
By now Starfire was pulling up her long boots and exited her room. Entering the room she plastered on a cherry smile. "Greetings," she said as the door whooshed open. Cyborg, BB and Catgirl all nodded a greeting but Robin looked over his paper and smiled brightly and "Hey Starfire, how ya doing?"
"Quite enjoyable, friend Robin," Starfire said in her cherry voice. Any trace of true emotion was lost in her voice, but in her eyes looks of desire and jealously.
Starfire bent down and opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of mustard and armed herself with a straw.
Starfire seated herself at the table and began to suck the bottle clean of mustard when Raven entered the room.
Starfire turned her head slightly as Raven walked past. Something glittered and caught her eye but Raven had her back to Starfire and she couldn't see what it was.
Raven grabbed a plate from the cupboard and began loading pancakes on the plate when Robin rose and hugged Raven's waist. Raven blushed slightly and kissed him on the cheek.
Starfire stared in silent infuriation as Robin bent closer and whispered something in her ear. Her throat dried and her eyes burned as the violet haired woman nodded and smiled.
Her hand griped the bottle with such iron force that she crumbled the bottle.
"Uh… Star?" Beast boy asked noticing her envious, green-horned actions. She laughed nervously and replied with a pathetic excuse about weak bottles.
Ravens cleared her throat loudly making everyone in the room quieted down and stare at her with anticipation. She brushed a lock of violet hair behind her ear and began her short speech.
"You all know that Robin and I have being dating for a long time and since last night we went to the next step. Robin and I are engaged now."
I'd talk like I knew something
That everyone wanted to hear
Starfire dropped her jaw along with the other three other titans. Cyborg was the first to move, "DUDE!" He yelled as he leapt up and hugged the couple in a bone breaking bear hug. He ruffled Robin's spiky hair and congratulated him; he then turned to Raven and hugged her tightly.
"So little bird is getting married to Robin. Congrats Rae," He said warmly still hugging the young woman he was so protective over, almost like an older brother.
Catgirl pried Cyborg off Raven and then attended to hug her too while yelling loudly, "I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!" Right into Raven's left ear.
Meanwhile Beast Boy was talking to Robin, "So have you guys decided names for future children? 'Cause you know," Beast boy began, flexing his muscles now, "Garfield is a good name, you know name a little one after Uncle Gar," He turned his head so Robin could see his profile, "A crime fighting changeling!"
Robin just rolled his eyes from behind his mask and chuckled.
However there was one person that wasn't quite as thrilled as the other titans.
Starfire pulled her limp body off the chair and walked over to Raven and shook her hand after Catgirl got off her.
"Congratulations, Raven," Starfire said hoping her hopelessness didn't over power her words.
But you're the fonz
"Okay y'all I know just what this calls for," Cyborg said clasping his robotic hands together. "SPECIAL BREAKFAST CELEBRATION…thing…YEAH!" Beast Boy said jumping up on Cyborg's back.
XXXXXXXX
The titans piled down stairs and made there way to the garage. "Wait a minute…" Beast boy trailed off, "There's six of us…"
Raven rolled her eyes, "Very good Beast Boy, now tell us how many wheels there on the car,"
"Well, four of course, Raven" She just rolled her eyes, "But six of us and only five seats,"
"I'll take my R-Cycle," Robin said reaching for his helmet.
The other five titans loaded into the T-car. Cyborg unrolled his window and leaned out to speak to Robin while the garage door was opening, "So meet you at the Four Seasons in twenty minutes."
Robin nodded and took off.
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are you always this stupid or is today a special occasion?"
Starfire growled at the back of her throat. How was she supposed to know that button was the nitro? Starfire blushed and slid down her seat. Everyone in the car was glaring at her.
Cyborg had to quickly maneuver the car so they didn't crash into any one. He was now glaring at the road and in the corner of his eye watching Starfire.
But Raven's comment pushed her other the edge.
"No today is nothing special you fucking repulsive two-timing seductress!" Starfire yelled turning around in the front seat.
Cyborg slammed on the breaks, "What the hell was that?" He asked staring at Starfire.
She felt her face heat up again. Everyone was staring her. Sure Starfire had insulted people before but this was the first time she swore in English or yelled at anyone in English either.
The definition of icy
The measure of what's up
You could play the tuba
And everyone would clap
Well I can play the tuba
And they all just shake their heads
Starfire turned her head around slowly and saw Catgirl's and Beast Boy's mouths hanging. She then turned even farther so she could see the expression on Raven's face.
She then instantly regretted it. The most evil look adorned her pale face. Her eyes were narrow and seemed to hurt Starfire if she looked into the blazing violaceous coloured hell eyes.
Raven's lips spelled out the invisible words: watch your ass Starfire 'cause I'm going to get you back worst.
Starfire turned around slowly facing front. She folded her hands in her lap and felt Raven's dangerous aura of hatred creep up and down her neck.
Cause you're the fonz
When they got to the restaurant no one told Robin what happened in the car and all just pretended that it didn't happen.
The group slide into a corner booth. Raven and Robin slide to the back first followed by Beast Boy on Robin's side and Catgirl on Raven's. Cyborg then joined Catgirl and Starfire took the empty seat.
Soon a waiter handed out menu and the group ordered.
The waiter came back with two chocolate milks, a coffee, two orange juices and a mug of herbal tea.
"So," Catgirl said holding up her chocolate milk, "Cheers to soon to be marry birds and hope they have a happy life together!"
"Cheers," came the other five people. Raven and Robin hooked arms and each took a sip of their hot drinks.
Starfire took a sip of her orange juice and whispered to herself, "Cheers to hell,"
I know its over for me
I know its over
And so went on another death-grueling round of congratulations as Starfire sat on the edge. "I'm going to go… to the bathroom," she said quietly realizing it didn't matter because most of the attention was on the couple anyways.
XXXXXXXXXXX
Starfire scooped up a handful of the running water from the tap and washed her red face. Her eyes watered again and another round of hot tears ran down her face. Starfire finally looked into the mirror and saw the damage.
Her face was red was her washing with white nail marks running down her cheeks. Her now reddish green eyes were watery. Her stringy auburn red hair stuck to her wet face and was greatly messed up.
Starfire looked at the bathroom door, she really didn't want to go back out there. It would just be more embarrassment.
Her soggy eyes spotted a window near the ceiling. Looking around Starfire floated up and tried to open it but it was locked. She thought for a moment then got an idea.
Making sure no one else was in the bathroom she did it.
Starfire forced her eyes to shoot out the green laser to break the window. It shattered and Starfire cheered silently.
Due to her weight lost she was able to crawl out the window. She cursed as her weak leg began to hurt again when applied pressure to her knee as she crawled out.
Starfire stood up careful not to apply to much pressure to that leg and then lifted off the ground imagining happy thoughts.
She flew to the roof and sat, her legs drawn up to her chest. She hugged her shine and stared off into the blue sky.
Almost ten minutes passed as Starfire sat there, she knew that she should probably head back to the table but her mind seemed to think other wise.
Finally she picked herself up and flew into the air. And then she noticed it.
While flying by Starfire noticed that she could see the Titans through a window. Someone apparently said something funny as the group burst out with laughter. Cyborg slipped his arm behind Catgirl and under the table, Star could see from her angle, they were holding hands.
Starfire narrowed her eyes and searched the rest of the titans. Robin and Raven leaned on each other and even Raven cracked a grin. She even caught a glance of Beast Boy stealing a piece of toast from her own plate.
There they were acting just like they should be. Not crime fighting teenagers but normal earth dwelling young adults.
Starfire flew off her eyes watering.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Starfire landed at the tower and entered her room. She proceeded to find her backpack (the same backpack that she had used before when she tried to escape) and began packing a few of her worldly possessions. Her last item was a picture with all the titans taken a few months ago.
She grabbed a pen and paper and wrote something. On her way out she stuck it to Robin's bedroom door.
Drove my car to the top floor
And stood at the edge
When I woke up in heaven
Looked down and no one cared
But when you pulled your own trigger
They all gathered around to watch
The white and pink planet enlarged as Starfire flew towards her home planet in an alarming speed approaching the speed of light. Even if she was leaving the Titans that didn't give her a reason not to be excited to be reunited with her loving Galfore.
As she broke through the atmosphere the mountain on which her kingdom was stationed came clearly into view. She drastically slowed down to a prefect light landing on the dirt walk way to the main building.
"HALT!" Came a voice in the natural Tamaranian tongue, "WHO GOES THERE?" It bellowed.
Starfire looked around, although most of the warriors were hidden she could tell that she was surrounded, "I am Koriand'r!" Starfire bellowed back, her voice bounced and echoed in the small caves in the mountain and bounced off rocks. "I have returned from planet Earth for a brief visit!" She called again in her Tamaranian language, "Please notify your ruler I am present!"
Starfire then proceeded to march straight forward into the grand hall of the palace.
"Galfore!" Starfire called happily as a bulky man was turning to go to the dinning hall. His ears seemed to perk up as he turned around.
Only Starfire could look into his huge scarred face and large untidy clumps of auburn hair with love and admiration. Starfire flew at light speed into his arms and hugging him tightly, "Galfore I have missed you so!"
Galfore pulled Starfire off him and looked at her at arm's length, "Koriand'r?" He asked, "What has happened to you? You look pale and skinny and there is bags under your eyes!"
Starfire looked away slightly blushing, as much as she trusted Galfore she didn't feel quite like explaining her resent obsession. "What has happened to you?" She merely asked back. His face was more scarred and he was looking pale and without sleep, "Later," He replied noticing how people were looking at them and listening on to their conversation.
"I shall get the chefs to prepare a feast in your honor, princess," He said briskly almost like in a business like tone, but Starfire held up her hand, "Please no feasts. I don't believe that I'll be staying her for more than a few hours, a day at the most. Please just send some food up to my old room,"
Galfore nodded and yelled something in the Tamaranian language to a servant who then rushed off in the direction of the kitchens.
Both of them bowed a farewell and then Galfore proceeded to the dinning hall while Starfire flew up to her room.
XXXXXXXXXX
The three Tamaranian suns had set and still they didn't arrive. It was about twenty earth hours since Starfire had arrived. She stood on her balcony staring off into space dreaming of a better tomorrow.
The food she ordered stay untouched on the table set up in her room, the candles had long burnt down so just pools of wax where on the table.
Tamaranian moonlight glowed on Starfire's fair complexion. She wasn't used to this bright of moonlight. Starfire had absorbed enough to be able to shoot starbolts and fly unbridled but her mind held her back.
Her arms were folded on the ledge as she leaned forward, slowly a tear rolled down her cheek because that's when she realized, "He's not coming."
Starfire's hoarse voice faded away and more tears rolled down her cheeks as she finally decided to go back inside.
Cause you're the fonz
