Authors Note: The shop 'Girls Haven' actually exists and is possibly the most evil store on the face of the planet. Everywhere you turn is PINK! Needless to say it's my little sisters favourite store and one of the many reasons I refuse to go shopping with her.
"Starfire please open up,"
"No! Go away!"
Raven sighed. This conversation was pointless and had gone on long enough. She reached out and phased through the door… and was blinded by pink. It was everywhere. The sorceress internally cursed as she looked around, she wished she'd remembered how torturous this room was on her eyes. Her amethyst eyes fixed on the bright pink bed. Lying on the pink sheets, beneath a mountain of stuffed toys and desperately holding on to Silky was her friend.
"Hello Starfire,"
"Raven… it is impolite to enter a persons domicile without their permission,"
"What your doing is not healthy Starfire. You haven't left this room in days, it's not like you."
"Maybe I don't wish to be me any longer,"
"Why would you say that?"
"Because he doesn't love me,"
"I know Star, I know how much you hurt,"
"How?"
Raven didn't answer for a few moments as she gathered up her thoughts.
"Remember Malchior? When he betrayed me I though I'd never be all right again but eventually the pain goes away Starfire. Robin cares for you, he never wanted to hurt you and he'd never betray you. Eventually you'll find someone new,"
"Did you?"
"No but I'm a bad example. You will find someone Starfire, and they will love you," for the first time in days Star offered a weak smile. It looked out of place on her tear stained face but at least it was a start, mused Raven. "Would you like to come to the mall with me?"
"Why?"
"Cyborg and Beast Boy thought that a party might make you feel better. You don't have to come if you don't want to but we'd all like you to,"
"Will he be there?"
"He's your friend Star, you'll have to face him soon," Raven watched as her friend started to collapse once more. "But you don't have to see him yet. Let's go to the mall and get you a new outfit for the party, we can even go and get you a manicure if you want,"
"And a make over?"
"And a make over. I'll even take you into 'Girls Haven',"the alien princess visibly brightened at the prospect of her favourite store and nodded once before Raven teleported both of them out of the room that had been Starfires prison for over a week.
