Starfire walks onto a large empty stage and looks out at a non-existent audience, her eyes big. Her nervousness is obvious, and she shuffles her feet and tugs at a lock of her auburn hair. After a few moments of silence, she looks off stage with awkward desperation. It seems that someone has heard her silent plea for help… and it appears that this someone is none other than… The Boy Wonder!

Robin dramatically flaunts on stage, twirling his bo-staff and his cape billowing as he strides to the distraught alien princess. There is a pause and then he hands her a note. She peers at it and then nods sheepishly. Robin offers a suave wink and saunters back off stage.

Starfire clears her throat. "Ahem… It has been requested that I, Starfire of the Teen Titans and Princess of Tamaran report to you that… um…" she stares oddly at the stage, and one tiny eyebrow arches high on her forehead. "Raven?" She calls absently, still staring at the peculiar note. The summoned sorceress shuffles on stage, hood drawn up to hide her features.

"Yes, Starfire?" Raven replies in her flat, lifeless tone.

"This person… has my name?" she asks curiously. Raven glances at the paper and nods.

"Yes. The person whom has composed this note does indeed have your name. She is an author on and consequently is master over our every action in her fictions. She may bend us to her will and manipulate our emotions to suit her. In short, Starfire… she is a god over our cartoon existence." Raven hums.

Starfire blinks. "…Oh. Okay then…" she looks back at the paper. Raven seems satisfied with the response and teleports off the stage in a portal of obsidian power. "Right… well… anyhow… Princess Starfire of Tamaran… who is not me… but an author on this fiction of fans place… has requested that I report to you all that she is gravely sorry for her absence and neglect of last week's update. She wishes to inform you she will be back with a new chapter sometime mid-next week and another that weekend. She apologizes for her absence, but is very busy at the moment." Starfire takes a deep breath and continues.

"And that is all." She pauses, unsure about the abrupt ending. Finally, she curtsies. This is met with a wild round of applause from Cyborg and Beast Boy who have landed themselves in the front row somehow. She blushes. From off stage, Robin's hand appears and tosses a dozen roses. Starfire picks them up and cradles them Miss America style. "Th-Thank you…" she mumbles cutely. She curtsies again and then wanders off stage.

Raven reappears on the stage. "Well… you can stop reading this now… the author's note is over. Princess Starfire of Tamaran will be back in a few days, so please be patient."

Raven walks off stage without another word. And Beast Boy offers a random cat call. The curtain drops over the empty stage.
