Chapter 3 (Love Bug)
Back in the spider pit of doom, more spiders seemed to appear every second. "Man, what is up with the spiders on parade show?" Cyborg asked. The spiders had began to form snaking lines that curved into letters… "What're they spelling? U- S-U-C… You…Suck!", Beastboy yelled angrily at the little bugs, "Yeah! Well at least I can spell!" "Beastboy are you seriously yelling at bugs?" Raven smiled at him in a you're-so-stupid-but-very-cute sort of way. "As a matter of fact I am. Hey when do you think Robin's coming back? I'm getting tired?" Raven continued teasing, "Well, you wouldn't be so tired if you hadn't used all your energy yelling at bugs!", she laughed to herself, she couldn't kid herself she did like Beastboy… But all she could think to do was be mean to him. "Oh? And I suppose YOU'VE never yelled at a bug in your life?" Raven turned away, grinning, she continued squashing rows of bugs, she decided to go back to focusing, even being sarcastic to Beastboy was beginning to bring out feelings…
Back at the tower Robin looked over Star, once more, "Are you SURE you're all right?" "It is merely… A bug bite", she shivered. That shiver worried Robin, he grabbed he hand, "Star, you're FREEZING!" She shivered again in reply, "No, I am merely… Cold." Robin gave her a what-am-I-going-to-do-with-you look, and grabbed the remote. He pushed a button, and the video game screen rolled up to the ceiling, while a fireplace popped up from the floor. Star just starred at it. Robin pressed another button and a fire appeared in the center, now THAT Star recognized. "Star, you stay here try to get warm, I'll be right back." Star starred blankly at him, a little smile on her face. Seconds later Robin came back carrying a HUGE blue blanket. He threw it to her, "Feeling warm yet?" "Um… I am, getting there…" Robin smiled, he loved how she talked, with purpose, but awkward pauses often ruined the effect. That completed her the innocent look.
Starfire pulled the blanket over her head, Robin laughed and pulled it down, to cover her feet. That's when he realized she still had one boot on, "Do you ever take off your boots?" "No, not really…" "Feeling better?" "I usually feel better when I am with you Robin", Star smiled innocently. Star's smiles where contagious and even though he was worried about her he soon found a smile creeping across his face. "What am I gonna do with you Star?" Star didn't quite know how to answer that question but she grinned at him, her eyes sparkling brightly against the fire. "Why do you not sit Robin?" Robin didn't need to be asked twice, he fell/sat down next to her, and even though he wasn't cold he soon found himself under the blanket snuggling (innocently) with Star. He finally thought the moment had come, to finally ask her to be his girl he opened his mouth, "WE'RE HOME!" "Gah!" Robin fell off the couch, because the rest of the team's arrival had totally caught him off guard. But Beastboy didn't stop talking, "You shoulda been there I was like, the spider crushing champion!" "You say that like it's something to be proud of", Raven rolled her eyes. But Beastboy ignored her, " No really I- Hey Robin do you often lay on the floor?" Robin, blushing madly stood up VERY quickly… I was looking for…Er…um… a …" "RiGHT, of COURSE you were…" Beastboy grinned his obvious annoying smile, like he knew he interrupted the special moment. Robin had to stop himself from socking him.
"So how's Starfire?" Beastboy asked in a hint hint, nudge nudge, cough cough, kinda way. "I am well", said Star, a vague look of disappointment in her eyes. Star stood up, while the blanket slipped back onto the couch. "Good night", Star walked toward her room, and Robin couldn't help but notice a slight limp. He looked around for a reason to follow her… Aha! Her other boot! He grabbed it and ran after her… Well no wonder there was a slight limp, the boots were high heeled, "Hey Star, wait up!" Star whipped around so fast that her hair went flying, almost hitting Robin in the face. She brushed her hair behind her with one hand, "Yes, Robin?" "You..ah..You forgot your boot…" He handed it to her, for a boot it was pretty heavy, he noticed Star slightly sagged under it's weight. "You're sure, you feel ok, Star?" "Um-hum, really Robin, you worry too much…" Carrying one boot in her arms, and the other on her foot, Star delicately limped into her room. Shutting the door behind her, she dropped the boot and calmly walked over to her bed, and then she passed out, and fell backwards into a deep sleep, never to awaken until next morning. A small blue night-light lit up the room, glowing a bright light blue, even through the pink band-aid. No questioning it, there was something weird about that bite.
