Chapter 3 (DancSing)

Star happily (more so than usual) skipped into the kitchen singing a song with no words at the top of her lungs. (Apparently the hit on her head had caused her to forget her native language…) She continued singing/screaming, as she opened the door to the fridge, pulled out the mustard, and drained the entire bottle, using a straw! Then she put the empty container next to the counter, and continued singing. After a while Raven stomped through the door, "Starfire? What the heck is going on? Your singing is causing the tower to shake!"

"Oh New Friend Raven, something most glorious has happened!"

"You don't say…"

"Well are you not going to ask me of the most glorious news?"

"No."

"Oh, good. Because I can not tell you!" And with that Star danced and continued singing gracefully around the living room. Raven glared at the dancing Star, mumbling under her breath Raven retreated back to her room. Beastboy and Cyborg nearly ran Star over in an attempt to get to their video games. Star didn't take any notice; she continued leaping and singing,

"Man, this is going to be the BEST video game ever!" Cyborg commented excitedly.

"Yeah, dude I hear that you can shoot oil out of your wheels and- Star what are you doing?" He watched her dancing, until he got seasick, "Why are you so happy! Ah you're making me sea sick!"

"Oh Boy Beast Friend a most wonderful, and glorious thing has happened!" She did a perfect pirouette.

"Yeah I know this video game is like the best thing that has EVER happened!" Beastboy exclaimed looking at the video game with what can only be called, love.

"I don't think she was talking about the video game", Cyborg said quietly.

Beastboy ripped his eyes from the sacred video game, "What are you talking about, then Starfire?"

"Oh I can not tell you!" Then she did a singing/flying cartwheel, through the door to the hall.

Beastboy and Cyborg exchanged knowing glances, "Robin." And without any further hesitation, they began to play their game.

Robin sat in his room; the guilt had finally caught up with him. He tried to brush it off, he loved her, he wanted her, and he had gotten her, it didn't matter how. He knew that was a lie. He kept coming back to Slade, and how Slade would have done anything to get him as an apprentice. Anything. He hated being compared to Slade, but he hated having to compare himself to Slade even more. He had tricked Star into being his girlfriend. It had been wrong. But he didn't see her complaining… He opened the door to his room, Starfire cart-wheeled past his door. He shut his door. Nope definitely no complaints there.

Starfire had never felt so much happiness swelling up inside her. It was almost too much overwhelming. But she enjoyed it. The unbridled joy was at full forced she couldn't have gotten back to the ground if she had wanted to. She liked Robin; robin loved her, that's all that mattered. She had cart-wheeled all the way into her room, and was now floating on the ceiling. She decided that she would need to buy pillows for the ceiling, soon. After a while she began to wonder, why couldn't she tell anyone, she wanted EVERYONE and everyone to know that she was Robin's girl. She thought harder. Why was she so excited about all this, she had just met Robin today! She figured, that part of her mind remembered Robin, that's probably why she was so uncontrollably happy. It was then that she realized she had been slowly shrinking back to her bed. Maybe the Robin after effects had worn off already. She brushed away those thoughts, why didn't he want her to tell anyone? It was really beginning to bug her. And she was determined that one way of another tomorrow she would find out.
