Chapter Two:
"Sick?"
Starfire came to breakfast that morning looking rather pale. She had lost her orange glow. "Star are you ok?" Robin asked walking over to her. They had been going out for almost a year now and were deeply in love. She slumped down in the seat and smiled weakly. Before she could say anything she got up and ran to the bathroom. The rest of the titans gave him strange looks. "What?" he asked. "Something's wrong with her" Raven said. "Maybe you should take her to the doctor's" Beast Boy suggested. Robin sighed. "Yeah, I guess I'll go get her." "This wouldn't be easy" he thought. "She hates the doctor's and I didn't think she could hate anything." "Star?" he called. He tapped on the bathroom door. "Starfire" he called again. He could hear her throwing up. She opened the door a few minutes later.
"Yes boyfriend Robin what may I do for you?" she asked wearily. "Star I think maybe you should um…if you're not feeling well…I'd better take you to the doctors" he said. Her eyes widened and she ran to her room. "Star!" he said running after her. "Come on Star!" he said knocking on her door. "THE LAST TIME I JOURNEYED TO THE DOCTORS THEY STUCK A NEEDLE IN MY ARM!" she yelled from behind the door. "Please Star?" he asked nicely. She opened the door and threw her arms around him. "Oh Robin I am so sorry, you're so helpful and I'm acting like a royal zarbnarff" she burst out into tears. "Um…there…there" he said stroking her hair. "And of course you want to take me there" she said narrowing her eyes. "What?" he said confused.
"You want me to get the shot" she hissed. "Star I think your losing your mind" he said. "No my mind is not lost maybe you have misplaced yours" she snapped.
Starfire fell on the floor with her head angst the wall. She broke down into tears and hugged her knees to her chest. "Raven! Beast Boy! Cyborg!" he yelled frantically.
"You rang?" Beast Boy called walking over to him. "Man what'cha do to her?" Cyborg asked. "She started it" he said pointing at Starfire. Starfire looked up and saw her friends. "Why hello my dear, dear friends" she said pulling them into a hug. "Can't breathe" Raven gasped. "How hard can it be to get your girlfriend to the car?" Cyborg asked.
"I'll take her" Raven sighed. "Take me where?" she asked. They all looked at each other.
"Take you to er…the…store…to get something to make you feel better" Beast Boy lied.
"Oh, ok then I shall go" Starfire said getting up off the ground. She followed Raven to the garage and sat in the T-car. "I'll drive" Raven said. Starfire nodded and moved over a set. "Now what?" Cyborg asked. Robin shrugged and Beast Boy darted up stairs to play his favorite video game. Robin and Cyborg followed their green friend.
Starfire walked in the door with a confused look on her face. Raven came in after her looking very tired. "What happened?" Robin asked. "NEVER AGAIN!" Raven yelled and walked to her room. "Star are you alright?" Robin asked looking at the alien. "They told me the doctor would call to confirm…" she stopped herself. "Confirm what?" Beast Boy asked turning away from his game. "Confirm…what kind of medicine I should ingest" she lied. "So are you sick or not?" Cyborg chimed in. "No" she answered. "I actually do not wish to talk about it" she smiled. "Ok…" Robin said looking at her. Her eyes lost their lust and were filled with uncertainty. Her skin was pale and her smile was fading fast.
"So are ya hungry?" Robin asked her. She nodded her head a walked over to the cabinet. "Star what are you making?" Robin stared at his girlfriend. She had cake mix with some tomatoes and syrup. He knew she was an alien who drank mustard but something was wrong with this lunch. "I am having the strangest cravings" she answered.
She cut a slice of the tomato and dipped it in the mix then poured the syrup all over it.
The three boys could only stare at their Tamaranian friend. She cleaned up the mess and took at seat on the couch. They just let it go and went on with the rest of their crime free day.
