Chapter Two:
"Mayor's Ball Begins"
Starfire put her dress in the closet when she heard a knock on her door. She opened it to find Robin swaying back and forth on his feet.
"Hi Star, I wanted to ask you something" he said nervously.
Starfire tilted her head to one side like a puppy and waited for him to go on. "Would you like to go to the Mayor's-" Before he could finish to gave him a tight hug.
"I WOULD LOVE TO GO WITH YOU!" she cried. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and went back inside her room. Robin stood there stunned and reached up to touch the spot where she kissed.
"She kissed me!" his mind screamed. "I was right that wasn't bad at all!" He smiled and went skipping down the hallway.
"Well that was strange" Cyborg burst out laughing after Robin turned the corner. Beast Boy was on the floor laughing too. Raven looked at the two morons on the floor.
"And you said Robin was strange? Please" she said walking off.
"Ok, now it's your turn" Cyborg said getting up. Beast Boy nodded and followed Raven.
"Uh...hi Rae, what'cha do' in?" he said walking next to her.
"Walking to my room" she answered annoyed.
"Oh, well I wanted to finish what I was saying on the ride to the mall."
"Ok, you have my attention" she said stopping by the door to her room. "Well, I was gonna say what if it was me?" he gulped.
Raven was shocked. She stared at him for a moment then looked at her shoes. "And what I meant to say was no… one but you" she whispered.
His eyes went wide.
"Is that a yes?" he asked. Raven gave him a smile and kissed him softly on the lips.
"You can consider that a yes" she grinned then disappeared inside her room. Beast Boy's smiled the biggest smile he's ever smiled and then started singing.
"Go Beast Boy, it's your birthday. We're gonna party like it's your birthday!" and he dance all the way to the couch were the guys were waiting.
"So what did she say?" Robin asked.
"Let me guess…NO!" both started laughing and looked at the changeling. That smile still on his face.
"Ok, maybe she didn't say no" Cyborg stopped laughing.
"Are you gonna tell us?" Robin asked.
"She kissed me, on the lips and said 'you can consider that a yes.'"
"No fair! Star only kissed me on the cheek!" Robin wined.
"I didn't even get one!" Cyborg cried.
But Beast Boy just kept on smiling and flicked on the TV.
Later:
"Let's go!" Robin yelled.
Beast Boy was the first to come down besides Robin. The robotic man was after him. Raven was next. She wore a shimmering silver dress. The top went around her neck and the bottom reached her ankles. A silt like Starfire's went up to her thigh. She had on silver straps shoes and diamond earrings. Her hair was still down but behind her ears and she had a light shimmering lip gloss and sliver sparkles on her eyes. Beast Boy could only drool. While Cyborg whistled.
"My, my look who decided to get dressed up" he smiled.
Raven blushed and walked over to Beast Boy. She shut his mouth and wiped the drool from his face with a tissue.
"You look nice too" she said.
Starfire came after Raven. She had her green dress on with shoes like Raven's only green. Her hair was up in a slightly messy bun and the same two strands framing her face. She hand dangly emerald green earring in the shape of flowers. She wore a light pink blush and had a dusting of green eye shadow. Everything she wore matched her beautiful jade eyes.
Robin began to drool too and it made a puddle on the floor.
"Down boy!" Cyborg laughed. Starfire walked over to him and he put his arm around her shoulders.
"Sure you're not going to be cold?" he asked her.
"Not as long as you have your arm around me" she blushed. Robin turned a deep shade of red while the two boys raised their eyebrows.
"Now let's go pick up Bumblebee so you can embarrass yourself" Robin said to his mechanical friend.
Cyborg rang the door bell to Titans East Tower. They had left tow hours earlier so that they would have enough time to get to Steel City. Speedy answered the door.
"Well don't you look nice" he said half laughing.
"Bee will be down in a minute." Cyborg nodded.
"Ok I'm ready!" she called. She had her hair in corn rose and a shimmering yellow dress on. Her earrings were gold chains and the dress was spaghetti straps. She had golden sandals and rosy lips with a hint of gold sparkles in her face.
"Don't you kids stay out to late now" Speedy laughed.
"Oh shut up and make the twins dinner!" Bumblebee called.
Speedy lost his grin and began to curse under his breath.
"Shall we?" Cyborg held out his arm.
Bee smile and he lead her to down to the T-car where everyone was waiting.
Robin sat up front with Starfire on his lap. Cyborg drove and Bumblebee, Raven, and Beast Boy sat in the back.
"I hope this is not a bother" Starfire said.
"Not at all" Robin smiled. He loved having her sit in his lap. She lay back against his chest and kissed his cheek again.
"Thank you" he whispered. Starfire began to giggle.
"You're riding the Cyborg express which will take you from Steel City to the Mayor's Ball back in Jump City. Please be kept your hands to yourself, this means you Robin" Cyborg laughed. Robin turned a beet red and shot the driver a dirty look. Bumblebee and Beast Boy held back their giggles and lucky for Robin, Starfire didn't understand.
"Just concentrate on driving metal butt" Robin snapped.
"Well I don't have too anymore because, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh WE'ER-"
"HERE!" Beast Boy finished.
"Oh joy" Raven said in her monotone voice. The got out of the car careful not to mess up their outfits. Each of the guys had their date on their arm and they made their way to the steps.
"There sure are a lot of people here" Beast Boy noticed.
"Yup, bunch of rich people" Cyborg told him. The sky was growing darker and the lights of the mansion lit the path. There were people everywhere. Some wearing feathers, and others animal fur. It made Beast Boy sick.
"I don't like this place" Beast Boy said sticking out his tongue.
"Suck it up" Raven mumbled.
"Fine, but you'll be stuck with one grumpy Beast Boy" he said.
She gave him a playful smile and slipped her hand into his.
"Never mind" he smiled. Cyborg and Bumblebee laughed. They went through the large glass doors.
"Wow" Starfire whispered. Robin really wasn't impressed. Growing up in a mansion will do that to you.
"Nice" Bumblebee said. Beast Boy and Cyborg whistled.
"So what do we do?" the green elf asked.
"You make sure you don't embarrass yourself or us, for that matter. And stay with Raven the whole time"
Cyborg answered. Beast Boy's eyes went wide.
"Not like that, ya pervert" the robot hissed.
"Think of her as your babysitter" Robin corrected.
"Robin, what shall we do?" Starfire asked sweetly.
"Mingle I guess" he answered.
"Mingle?"
"Never mind, just stay with me" he smiled. She nodded and they began to mingle with the others at the party.
"It's just you and me Sparkie" Bumblebee smiled.
"Yeah, wanna dance?" he offered.
"Sure" she took his hand and he led her on to the dance floor.
"Why hello Robin!" a deep voice called.
"Hi Mr. Mayor" Robin said shaking his hand.
"And you brought Starfire as your date huh?" he said nudging him in the side.
"Yeah well…" he began.
"You watch him" the Mayor winked at Starfire. She giggled and turned to Robin.
"This party isn't as big as hit as I though it would be" the Mayor sighed.
"I even gave it a Disney theme."
"So that's why the food is shaped like Mickey Mouse Robin gave a small grin.
"Please Robin who is this Mickey of Mice you speak of?" the alien asked. The Mayor gave Robin a confused look.
"You mean Mickey Mouse, he's a cartoon character" he answered. She loved cartoons; she and Beast Boy watched them every morning.
"Sorry but I've got to be off now" the Mayor chuckled. Robin nodded and turned back to Starfire.
"Want something to eat?" he asked. She nodded and they got their food and sat down.
"Hey guys!" Bee said. Her and Cyborg across from their friends.
"Hello friend Cyborg and Bumblebee" Starfire greeted.
"I-" Robin began but was interrupted by the robot.
"Shhh" he hissed.
"What?" Robin asked.
"They shows about to start" he answered pointing at the changeling and the Goth.
"This should be good" the two boys snickered.
The girls rolled their eyes and began to chat.
