Chapter 2: The Mall
"No not that Starfire." Raven groaned.
"But why not friend Raven?" Starfire and Raven were out looking for dresses for the Fall Ball.
"Because I hate pink and you know it."
"But pink goes so good with your skin tone." Raven just stared at her.
"Listen Star, I'm not like you. I can't wear certain things, and that right there," Raven pointed to the discarded article of clothing, "is one of them."
Star looked dejected for a minute then perked up. "But what about…..those beautiful dresses over there?" Raven just sighed, "It's identical to this one!"
"Hey dude, which one makes me look more man-ly-er, this one…or this one?" Beastboy asked Robin, showing him the two different bow ties.
"Beastboy, if you want Raven to notice you, just be yourself." Beastboy stared at Robin with a come-on-now look on his face. "Who said I wanted Raven's attention, mmm? Plus, girls don't like me. They like Cyborg and, unfortunately, you. I just got to be more like the two of you and I'll have girls lining up to date me."
"Whatever you say Beastboy." A few awkward minutes later Beastboy let out a frustrated sigh.
"If you must know, my relationship with Rae is perfectly healthy."
"Um… Beastboy, what relationship." Robin asked unsurely.
"Yeah well… I don't see you and Star getting closer if you know what I mean."
"What? Me and Star! You've got to be joking."
"Oh, come off it dude! We all know you like her, except Star herself. It's so obvious." Robin glared at the tuxedo in his hands then mumbled, "You… really think she doesn't know?" "Not unless you tell her," Just then Beastboy's eyes lit up, "Oh! I got it! You can help me get Star and you can help me get… this other girl" Robin just rolled his eyes.
Raven finally found a dress that both she and Star could agree on and now they were trying to find a dress for Star. The only problem was that they all looked good on her and she couldn't decide.
"Oh! I can only pick one, but the mall of shopping is so vast and with so many items of clothes I cannot decide." "So… were going to be here longer." It was more of a statement then a question.
"I apologize for wasting your time, but I wish to be beautiful for Rob- I mean my date." Starfire turned away from Raven to hide her blush, but Raven saw it anyway.
"I knew it! I knew you liked Robin. Everyone did." Raven raised her eyebrows, waiting for Star to reply. "I do not! He is my friend, my teammate, but above all- my leader. I could not get intimate with my boss!"
"Sure you can, all you have to do is-"
"Please, Raven, I can not concentrate on the task at hand."
"Look, if you needed time to think you could have just asked. I'm going to go find the guys, so you need to make your decision quick if you know what I mean." Raven walked away with a smug grin on her face and her Hot Topic bag (That's a real place too). As soon has Raven was out of sight Starfire deflated, "I do not like Robin… I do not like Robin… I do not like Robin… Do I?
R&R please!
