Chapter 2: An adventure at the mall
Robin walked me to my new room; it was purple. Not just any purple but a dark purple that seemed since to relax in. To tell the truth, I was actually afraid he might give me a room that was bright red and hard to sleep in. There were a row of white pillows at the top, and a tucked-in tightened clean pink blanket, with cute little stuffed animals. There was even one with a star with a fireball attached to it. A shooting star, yet so concincesdental. (Can't spell, give me a break!)
"What do you think?" Robin asked.
"Oh…it is very beautiful, new friend Robin. It seems like you planned on giving ahead of time, though." I answered.
Robin blushed, "Well, actually, Raven went in your mind a minute ago and sorted a room for you telepathically."
"Wow… I am impressed." I said.
"Yeah, but don't go thanking her. This is good enough for her." Robin explained.
"What do I do now?"
"You want to go get something to eat?" Robin suggested.
"What does Earth eat?" I questioned.
"You'll see, no one can resist fries, milkshake, and a hotdog at the beach."
"Beach? What is this 'beach'? This is some sort of chemical?"
"No, you're thinking of 'bleach'. That changes your hair blonde."
"Blonde?"
"Um, the hair color that is whitish/yellow, you know?"
"We call that a sun-haired one on Tameran."
"Then I really have a lot to teach you, Star."
I blushed, on Tameran; being called a "Star" usually meant addressing something with high opinions or a goddess. That is why my parents gave me this Earth name, or an alias.
"Star?" I blinked. "On my planet, that is calling someone very special."
"Well…you are. You are so fascinating to watch, talk, or see. You're kind, fun, and beautiful." He sneakily and secretly emphasized the word "beautiful".
An awkward silence.
"So, um, should we go now?"
"Yes…what is a good place to eat?"
"Let's go to the mall, you'll love it, all girls do."
"How will we get there?"
"We'll ride my R-cycle, of course."
"R-cycle?"
"You'll see."
Later…
Robin and I went down to the garage, under a white sheet, which he took off, revealed a shinning ruby red motor vehicle that looked so "in" it was irresistible to someone who had never seen or heard of before, like me, for instance.
He tossed to me a blue helmet, and motioned, "Try it on."
I followed the directions and strapped the Velcro lace together and smiled at it's perfect fitting for me.
"It fits perfectly," I told him, "How do I sit down?"
"You, um, sit down behind the driver, which is me, and put your arms around my waist, unless you'll fall off." He instructed.
"Oh, I see it more clearly now," as she put her slender arms around me naively, not seeing the embarrassment. "Like this?"
"Uh, yeah," Robin said. 'Awe, man, I really wanted to say perfect.' Robin thought disdainfully.
Robin turned on the vehicle, turned on the engine, and zoomed off.
When we arrived at the mall, it was packed. Robin was so popular and greeted by all the fan girls. And I was neglected, and walked away to sit down on a bench, but suddenly, she heard:
"Robbie-poo! I missed you so much!" A blonde, blue-eyed girl said cheerfully.
"But you saw me yesterday."
"I know! It's been, like, forever!"
"Uh, bye Kitty-"
"-Kitten, Robbie-poo. Kitten."
"Right. I came here with a friend, her name is-"
"-Her name? As in a she-?"
"-Yeah, Starfire. The new Titan."
"New Titan!" Shrieked Kitten.
"Starfire's her name."
Kitten glanced over at me, and she said, "Puh-leeze, Robbie-poo! You can do better than that...that…thing!" Kitten spat. "More like Starslut!"
Meanwhile, Robin and Kitten were unknowingly being overheard by me who knew what the word 'slut' meant because on the way to
Jump City, she flew past Beverly Hills, and you know what I'm talking about.
I flew over and tapped the ignorant blonde girl on the shoulder, "Excuse me, but do you kiss your mother with that mouth? You must not use such vial language! Or...or...your mother might burn when you kiss her!" I snapped.
Robin was wordless, he couldn't believe someone so nice could give such a good comeback to anyone especially Kitten!
"Burn? Please, the only way my mom might 'burn' is if she got sunless tanning! You must think you're so clever, but you're just a...a...alien!" Kitten stormed off in a high-pitched "humph" and left.
Even though that comeback was the most pathetic thing I ever heard, it wasn't just insulting; it felt prejudice.
Normally, I didn't like stopping down to other people's level, but I shouted in rage: "Oh, really, Kitty? Well I may be an alien, but at least I don't look like the ones you Earthlings visualize to be, like you!"
"Um, heh, you ready to eat or something?" Robin asked, half scared to death of my sudden outburst.
I turned around with a smile, "Yes! Ooh! Let us go now!"
I grabbed Robin's arm, and dragged him on the floor, as Robin thought, 'Well that lasted long.' With a grin on his face.
Robin and I found a subtle place to eat later, called: 'Ben's house of burgers.'
When the waiter came, it was a he, his nametag read: 'KILEY' in big block letters.
"I'll be your waiter, my name is Kiley, and how may I help you?"
"May I have a flornark?" I said.
"Um, bless you?"
"She'll have a burger and a shake." Robin answered for her, and added, "She's foreign."
The waiter smiled politely, and carried on with his job.
The waiter returned with the food minutes later, "Two burgers, one milkshake, and a coke." He handed them the plates. "Do you need any napkins, condiments, etc.?"
"Condiments?"
"You know mustard and ketchup…?"
"Oh, um, what is it?"
The waiter sighed rudely and impatiently with a snort.
"She'll have both." Robin said.
"Okay," he reached in the basket to pull them out, "Here you go."
"Thank-you." I said politely.
I ripped up the packages and squirted it on my burger and my liquid drink.
"Um, Star? You only put the condiments on the burger for flavor and it's dry, but when you put it in your drink…" Robin's voice trailed off since she had already swigged down the whole cup.
"Wow, it's like you have four stomachs or something." Robin laughed.
"Oh, but to be precise, friend Robin, I do."
Robin's chuckling soon ended and his face went pale, "Are you serious? And I mean, dead serious?"
"Yes, I am aware of Earth's custom system known as the 'table manners' but on Tameran, when are… 'Barbaric'?" I explained.
Robin fell out of his seat, until I awoke him by splashing him with a glass of ice-cold water.
"Ahhh! Cold!"
I hugged him, "You are conscious, again, yes?"
He smiled and nudged me in the arm playfully.
Everyone in the restaurant was starring at us.
"GET A ROOM!" They all beckoned in unison.
We both couldn't help but laugh.
END FLASHBACK
I sighed; it's been two years since that. I went back to cooking dinner with Raven. Raven and I became best friends over the last year and a half ago. After we switched bodies, we became friends. Of course, not as good of best friends as Robin and I, we were inseparable.
I chopped the rest of the vegetables and threw them in the pan to fry them.
When suddenly, I felt two muscular arms and looked up to see none other than…
Hey, again! I hope you like it considering this is the first fanfic I actually added a second chapter to. But don't worry, for all you other fans that are BBxRae will love that fic. Titled: Expect The Unexpected.

Preview or whatever of next chappie:
He walked in, hand-in-hand with a girl.
"Where were you? And who is that?"
He smiled, "(blank) meet, (blank)."
Well, that's all she wrote, folks! R&R!

LILY
