Chapter 10: The Naked Man!
"Friend Raven, your wedding shall be glorious!" Starfire chirped, as she stared at mounds of wedding dresses. Searching the many racks, Starfire could not locate a dress suitable for Raven.
"I hope so." Raven mumbled, as she looked through the vast store. Raven was on a quest, but she didn't think that she would succeed. The search for the prefect dress was a tremulous journey, but Raven would risk everything to achieve her goal.
"What about this one?" Starfire questioned, as she pulled out a fluffy dress. The top was so feathery that it could have engulfed Raven's face, and the back of the clothingwas indescribable.
"No." Raven grumbled, not bothering to take a second glance at the dress. Yanking more dresses off the racks, Raven gave a grumpy sigh.
"This one?" Starfire asked, as she pulled out another dress. It was another horrying creature, waiting to swallow Raven whole.
"No!" Raven snapped, as she backed away from Starfire. All the racks had been searched, but the perfect dress had not been found. Raven felt angry, very angry.
"This dress is quite attractive! Perhaps you shall enjoy it!" Starfire squealed, pulling the remaining dress off the shelf. Giving Starfire the don't-even-ask-look, Raven clenched her fists in aggravation.
"We have been in almost every dress store, in this God forsaken place!" Raven scowled, crossing her arms in agitation. "What are we going to do, if I can't find a proper wedding dress?"
"Do not give up hope! We shall find you the dress you desire!" Starfire stated, as she dragged Raven out of the wedding dress store. Allowing herself to be yanked out of the store, Raven was pulled into the Titan's rental car. Wrinkling her nose at the foul smell, Raven plopped into the driver's seat. Raven pulled the car out of the parking lot, and onto the highway.
"Turn right on the street called, Monchillian." Starfire ordered, as Raven did what was instructed.
"Where do you plan on going?" Raven questioned, looking at Starfire with curiosity. Giving her a small smile, Starfire shook her auburn hair.
"You shall see!" Starfire giggled, as Raven continued to drive down Monchillian road. At the end of the road lay a small building, surrounded by a repulsive bog. A crocodile lay in front of the building, with a menacing smile on its face.
"Starfire! Where the hell are we?" Raven cried, glancing about the unsightly enviroment.
"This place is secret! I discovered ita few weeksago, while doing the searching on the internet." Starfire stated, as she hopped up and down. Raven parked the car on the side of the dirty road, and she leapt out of the car. Taking a few steps forward, Raven sank to her waist in muck and mud. Giving a groan of disgust, Raven trotted back to dry land.
"What is this place?" Raven questioned, staring at the happy crocodile.
"It is the house of a dress maker." Starfire replied, as she began to pick her way through the bog. Soon, a pathway through the quagmire was discovered. Trailing behind, Raven shook her head unhappily. 'I'm never going to find a dress,' Raven thought.
"This is quite excitable!" Starfire chirped, as she trailed through the mud. The sludge stuck to Raven's body like Velcro, and attempting to wipe it off only made it worse. They soon reached the rundown house, and Starfire knocked on the front door. With a loud squeak, the door fell off its hinges and landed on the floor.
"This is going well." Raven grumbled, still holding a grudge against the never-ending slime balls. Giving a unhappy squeal, Starfire attempted to place the door in the doorframe. Unfortunately, her plans were vanquished.
"Hello! Is anyone present?" Starfire cried, as she stepped into the rickety house. The floor was covered in the same muck that was in the mud, and Raven growled as she stepped into it.
"I don't think she's here." Raven said, crossing her arms in disgust. The sludge reminded her of the battle against Terra, but she didn't want to think about that.
"The dress maker is not a she." Starfire stated, glancing around the small house. Stepping farther into the room, Raven came upon a hallway.
"Starfire." Raven called, ushering the red head towards her. Starfire followed with regret, and they waltzed into a small bathroom. The toilette and sink were the homes of cockroaches, and a small snake was curled up in the bathtub.
"Look!" Starfire squealed, pointing towards a dirty old man. He was laying in a very dirty bathtub, and he was incredibly dirty, skinny, and ragged. The man was consequently naked, and Raven covered her eyes in shock.
"Who goes there?" The old man cried, lunging out of the bathroom. His head came in contact with the shower curtain, and he fell to the ground in a unconscious heap.
"Shit!" Raven swore, looking at the old man's bloody head. Leaning forward, Raven healed the old man's head.
"If you have come to steal my riches, think again!" The old man hollered, grabbing the snake on the floor. Holding the unfortunate animal in front of him, he began to swing the snake like a sword.
"Friend! We do not wish to harm you!" Starfire cried, touching the old man's hand. He immediately lowered the hissing animal, and Raven gave a impatient sigh. This old man would never be able to help her, and she was losing time.
"You do not want to steal my riches?" The old man questioned, as he began to laugh happily. The snake slid from his fingers, and hid itself behind the toilette.
"What riches?" Raven questioned, looking around at the poor house. A burglar couldn't have found something to steal.
"I have gold! Lots of it, but I shall keep it a secret! Nobody, shall touch my golden babies!" The old man howled, as he gave Starfire a smile.
"What brings you to my humble home?" The old man questioned, looking at the young girls.
'It certainly is humble,' Raven thought.
"My friend whished to purchase a wedding dress, but she has found none enjoyable! Can you assist us?" Starfire questioned, as the old man picked a tick out of his beard. To Raven's repugnance, he plopped the tick into his mouth.
"Yes! Trawler the Dress Maker at your service!" Trawler howled, as he bounced happily. "Which one of you, is needing the dress?"
"I am." Raven muttered, as a strange smell engulfed her.
"Very good! Your extremely pretty!" Trawler stated, as he walked closer to her. Examining the purple haired girl, Trawler gave a satisfied grunt.
"What kind of dress did you want?" he questioned, as he placed his fingers on his forehead.
"I saw a dress similar to the one I wanted, in one of Starfire's magazine's. Unfortunately, it's back at our hotel." Raven muttered, hoping that the man knew what he was doing.
"Lead the way!" Trawler stated, his wrinkly forehead danced in excitement.
"Do you think Raven's okay?" Beast Boy questioned, glancing at Robin and Cyborg. The male Titans had finished their wedding cloth shopping earlier, and they were now bored. The boy's plopped down on their bed's in boredom.
"Dawg, Raven is going to be just fine!" Cyborg stated, as he scratched his head.
"Dude, their isn't anything on the TV!" Beast Boy complained, surfing the many channels.
"There's a nice club down the road, and the girl's won't be back anytime soon." Cyborg suggested, as he scratched his leg in boredom.
"I'm in." Robin agreed, hopping off the bed.
"What about you, grass stain?" Cyborg questioned, heading for the door.
"Nah, I haven't seen Raven for awhile. I want to be here when she gets back." Beast Boy stated, as he continued to search through the channels. Robin and Cyborg stated their goodbye's, and Beast Boy continued to be bored.
"I hope Ravens okay." Beast Boy whispered, as he began to pace. With nothing to distract him, Beast Boy became even more worried. A rental car pulled into the hotel parking lot, and Beast Boy jumped happily.
"Finally!" Beast Boy cried, as Starfire and Raven exited the car.
"What the heck!" Beast Boy said, as a old man marched out of the car. The old man appeared to be wearing Raven's cloak around his waist, and Beast Boy was overcome with jealousy. He listened as the girls entered the building, and trailed up the monotonous stairs.
"Hey Raven!" Beast Boy cried, as Raven walked through the door. Seizing his fiancé, he kissed her on the lips passionately.
"Did you get a dress?" Beast Boy questioned, looking for a bag containing a dress. None were found.
"I couldn't find one." Raven sighed, leaning her head against Beast Boy's shoulder blade. Pulling hair out of Raven's face, Beast Boy leaned into Raven's embrace.
"Hello, fellow man!" Trawler cried, lunging into the room. The moment Trawler entered the hotel room, he removed the cloak from his midriff. Beast Boy was hit with a full blown view of the old man's lower body.
"Who are you, and did you have to do that?" Beast Boy questioned, as he tried to keep his eye's on Trawler's face.
"I am Trawler, the world famous dress maker!" Trawler stated, laying on Robin's bed.
"Your making Raven's dress?" Beast Boy questioned, looking at Raven with a stunned expression.
"Yep!" The old man chuckled, as he smothered himself with blankets.
"Could you do me a favor?" Beast Boy questioned, turning around.
"What kind of favor?" Trawler questioned, Giving a crack toothed smile.
"Could you put some clothes on?" Beast Boy asked, embarrassed at the old man's nakedness.
"Nope! I enjoy the freedom!" Trawler said, hopping off Robin's bed. A big, brown spot lay where Trawler once was, and Raven wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Why are you covered in mud, and what is that smell?" Beast Boy questioned, looking at Raven with distinct curiosity.
"It's a long story, and I wouldn't ask about the smell." Raven grumbled, as she marched off. 'I'm glad that's not my bed,' Raven thought.
