Okay, so here's chapter two of Shadows of the Future: A Few SimpleWords. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but this will turn into mostly a RobStar BBRae fic. I'll update this every other day, as I also have another fic going right now. If you're new to my stories, just know that I almost never update on the weekends, as I'm not really on the computer then. Writing is very important to me, and I really like constructive criticism, requests, and suggestions. But please don't flame!

Very Very Important: Everybody's like "Starfire's tattoo's OoC!" and stuff. I just want ya'll to know that it's supposed to be. Starfire's OoC in this story/series, and it's staying that way. She got the tattoo on her and Robin's one-year anniversary of when they hooked up. How she got the tattoo, though, isn't important to the story right now, so please let it go! It's up to the author whether or not they want their characters to be out of character. And there are times where I can't resist temptation. That's why the tattoo was thrown in there. I was tempted to do something I normally wouldn't do, and I did it. The title of this story'll make sense later on. "A Few Simple Words" was tacked on A: because it's the sequel to SotF and B: because it's the title of one of the future chapters.

Chapter Two: An Hour and Counting

"Stupidity is not a handicap; park elsewhere."-Bumper Sticker

Terra paced the small room in the back of the church wringing her hands and muttering to herself. She was way past stressed out and felt as though she really shouldn't have eaten breakfast this morning. Starfire sat in the corner of the room in a comfortable chair, watching her friend pace, her emerald eyes following her movements. The lilac dress pooled around her feet as she slouched down, making sure not to mess her hair up. The dress hugged her every curve and moved with her every motion. Her ruby locks were caught up in complicated curls and twists, cascading gently from a bun in the middle of her head.

Raven sat next to Starfire wearing a baby blue dress and looking really uncomfortable. The bodice was held up by two simple and thin spaghetti straps and the skirt was only slightly poofy. Out of kindness, she had compromised with Terra and said that as long as she could wear blue, the dress could be poofy. Her violet hair had been put into a French Twist with much difficulty.

Bumblebee stood in the opposite corner fussing over her hair which was pulled into a single bun, rather than her trademark two. "Would one of you please help me zip up this blasted dress?" she asked. Raven got up and crossed the room to help her friend.

"Why don't you change, Terra?" Starfire suggested. Terra continued pacing. "Okay, ignore the bridesmaid, she'll just be visiting her boyfriend."

"No! Stay here!" Terra yelped and yanked Star away from the door.

"Okay."

"Don't leave. What if you die? My whole wedding will be ruined! You won't go anywhere!"

Starfire got the feeling that Terra was just getting married for the wedding, but shrugged it off and sat back down. She slipped into thoughts of how hot Robin was going to look in his tux when three sharp, short taps on the door snapped her out of her reverie. She looked around. Raven was trying to get the zipper on Bee's dress unstuck, Bee was still fussing over her hair, and Terra was in no state to be opening the door. Star shoved Terra into the bathroom, told her to get changed, and answered the door. "Robin! What are you doing here?"

"Speedy's going insane! I had to get out of there!" Robin replied, yanking her out of the room.

"Robin? Are you...nervous?" Starfire said, trying to hide her giggles.

"No I'm not! Star, listen. Speedy's in there trying to throw himself out a one story window."

Starfire couldn't help it; she burst into laughter. "Oh, Robin! He's just nervous! Relax!" The door opened again and a hand pulled Starfire back inside.

"Star! Terra's freaking out! She thought you were dead!" Raven hissed.

"Did you tell her that she has half an hour to be ready?" Starfire said.

"That might be your problem." She walked over to the bathroom door and knocked on it. "Ter? You okay?"

The door was flung open, revealing a very frazzled Terra. "Too many buttons! Too many buttons!"

Starfire slapped a hand to her forehead and slid it down her face. Half an hour. Just half. An. Hour. She could do this. She had to do this. "Are you nervous, Terra?" A very frantic nod. "Then breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale..."

---20 minutes later---

"I can't do this. I can't do this. You guys, I don't think I can do this." Terra said as she started to pace the room again. She had changed into her white wedding gown. The beadwork on the bodice was very elaborate and the skirt took up quite a large amount of space. The sleeves were made of cobwebby lace, as was the veil in her hair.

"Terra, girl, it's gonna be fine! Relax!" Bumblebee reassured her. "You're just nervous. That's completely normal."

"But what if he doesn't love me, Bee? I mean, let's face it. What sort of guy would love me?"

"Speedy would." Starfire said from her post at the door. "Terra, everything's going to be fine, okay? Just remember to breathe."

"I bet he's drunk." Terra said suddenly. "He's drunk and I'm marrying him." Raven reached up and slapped her.

"Terra! Snap out of it!"

Terra stopped her pointless rant and looked at Raven. "Don't slap me!"

Starfire looked at the clock on the wall. "Okay, this is it, Terra. You gonna be okay?" Terra nodded numbly and Starfire opened the door. The four walked silently to the great double doors, taking up their places. Starfire stood next to Robin, placing her hand gently on his arm and he smiled down at her. Bumblebee and Cyborg stood behind them, Cyborg with a simple bow tie around his neck because nobody sold a tux big enough for him. And standing before Terra were Beast Boy and Raven. Raven was trying her hardest to crack a smile, but it looked more like she was crazy, and she gave up. How Beast Boy became Best Man, nobody knew. Terra stood behind them all, her eyes wide, her bouquet of pink roses rustling slightly as her hands shook out of nerves. Starfire glanced back at her, worried.

"Is she okay?" Robin whispered.

"She will be." The music started and the doors opened, revealing at least two hundred people, including the rest of the Titans East and a whole bunch of people only Terra knew. The wedding procession took there places by the alter watching Terra as she joined Speedy. The priest said all that junk that nobody cares about because they're all thinking, 'Get me out of here so I can go get drunk at the reception,' and they were married.

Okay, not my most favorite chapter, but I guess it was okay. People are saying that you're not allowed to respond to your reviewers now. But I've checked the guidlines, and they say nothing of the sort. People are also saying that songfics aren't allowed either. That's not in the guidlines. But to be on the safe side, I'm just going to aknowledge people until somebody can prove the rumor wrong. Chapter three should be up on Friday.
