Chapter 8 – Part I
Ugh. I hate how I haven't updated in months. I hate school.

I'll try to finish the story in the next 2 months but I'm grounded off the computer
so that'll be hard. It will involve a lot of sneaking and lying. I can do that lol.

hhgb: Yes, it would be quite off putting but I'm still going to call you an obsessive
reviewer.

Smart one: I did not know I was capable of making cliffhangers...coool.
Thanks for the review!

Ariel: I love you too my little red headed beetle. Go on msn…I miss you dummy.

Shadowarrior4god: Speedy gets Falcon because Robin gets Starfire. But if you really want to read a fic with Falcon/Speedy I'll totally write one.

Thanks for the reviews yo.

Starfire stood tall on the floating orange platform. She could just glimpse across the stadium the two other girls. She was determined and knew she could do it if she tried her best. In front of her were trees all tightly grown together. On the giant T.V. that had once shown the girls in profile was now a view of Falcon looking just as determined as Starfire felt. Then it switched to Spidergirl who shifted a bit but clenched her jaw and got ready for the whistle. In three….two….one!

Starfire flew fast towards the trees and began searching for a flag. It was difficult to maneuver through the trees but at last she saw the glint of orange from one of the branches. She flew up with up with grace , grabbed the flag, and tucked it neatly in her belt. A cheer from the crowd could be heard. Whether it was for her or one of the other girls Starfire wouldn't know. She couldn't see the screen of the T.V. through the tree tops.

Starfire turned left and headed towards where she thought was the water. It might be a little easier than the trees.

Easy first then I will finish with the difficult, She thought. Finally she burst out of the trees and was hovering over the edge of a small cliff that dropped down to the lake. Squinting she tried to spot any orange flags bobbing on the surface. All she could see was Falcon swimming quickly towards a floating green flag.

She was too far away to bother stopping her from getting the flag so Starfire decided to fly above the trees and see if she could spot any.

As she reached the tops she squealed in joy. She could see two flags. One balancing on the top of a tree and the other sitting amongst the jumble of rocks. Speeding towards the first flag she grabbed it quickly and shoved it into her belt then sped towards the next one. Just as she was about to grab it a web shot out and grabbed her wrist pulling her hand away.

" Not so fast," Spidergirl said, grinning.

Starfire could see she already had one red flag hanging from her belt. Starfire glared at her and pulled the webbing towards her in a fast motion. Spidergirl flew towards her. Starfire stepped out of the way lightly and Spidergirl slammed into a rock. Starfire reached for the flag once again but rocks tumbled down and covered it up. In doing so, it revealed a small cave and ,inside the cave, a red flag.

"Awesome," Spidergirl yelled and bounced up to grab it.

Starfire groaned and begin shifting the rocks away to reach her flag. It took her only a couple minutes to get the rocks out of the way but enough time for her to notice Falcon with two green flags scaling down a cliff edge towards the trees.

Tired and dirty she pulled her flag from the rocks and angrily tucked it in her belt. She flew off back towards the lake to see if she could find a flag in the water. Then she'd get a chance to cool off as well.

I know this ones a bit short but its got 3 parts to it. I had to finish it quickly because the family is arriving home soon and I'm not supposed to be on the computer. Happy reading and review please!
