Story 2
Volleyballs, Hugs, and Chicken Pies

A romance for Robin and Star
Imagine the opening scene from 'Titan Rising.' where they were playing volleyball on the roof without Raven, who was meditating. Well, this is what the story begins with.
It began with a dazzling sunset.
The trapdoor opened with a sickening creak.
'OKAY, PEOPLE! TIME TO HIT SOME BALLS!'
To the disappointment of Robin, the romantic feeling was over. But for Raven, it was a haunting feeling and she was unhappy that the aura had worn off. She sat down to meditate.
Bounce... Bounce... The sound of ball hitting hand filled the air.
Raven knew they would lose the ball soon, pierced or thrown over the edge. She couldn't wait. (A/N: Notice the sarcasm oozing delicately out of this sentence...)
Sure enough, the 'prophecy' was fulfilled. With an almighty POW it stuck onto Beast Boy's leopard claw. He shrank down to normal size except his claw. The ball slowly shrank down to a ... well, flat ball.
Raven ignored the hullabaloo to follow. She decided to play a prank. 'I'll go and get another ball,' She said.
Pretty soon she came up again with NOT a ball, but a chicken pie. Nobody noticed.
'OH, THANK YOU, RAVEN!' screamed Starfire.
She commenced suffocating Raven.
'Can't... breathe... '
Star loosened her grip as Raven tossed the pie/ball into play, accidentally on purpose aiming it straight for Beast Boy.
'OH YUCK! ... Actually this tastes pretty good...'
'You'd probably like to know that that was chicken, yes?'
'Um, yeah, I knew that... WHAT?'
Later
'I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ACTUALLY FORCED ME TO EAT MEAT!' shrieked Beast Boy, for the twenty-fifth time that evening. Raven sat in a corner, reading a book and obviously shutting out the world around her.
'Friends! Someone has disposed of all our blue fuzzy food!' called Starfire who was trying to prepare a proper dinner.
Just then, Robin walked into the room with two bags of groceries which included tofu for Beast Boy, meat for Cyborg, salad for Raven, seven packs of jelly for Starfire (It reminded her of a Tamaranian fruit) and, well, nothing for himself since he was prone to take a little of everyone else's food except Beast Boy's tofu and Raven's salad. He also was prone to try whatever disgusting concoctions Starfire created in order to win her affection. Hidden in one of the jellies was a lovely several-hundred dollar ring. It had a beautiful green emerald and 'STARFIRE' was engraved on the surface.
'YA! FOOD!' Cyborg hollered.
All Robin's fear of Star swallowing the ring was disposed of as she began to cut the jelly like a cake. She gasped.
'Starfire?'
'Yes?'
'Do you... love me?'
'Yes!'
Star leaped into Robin's arms and they kissed.
Somewhere in a distant universe, some goggle-eyed people stared at their computers. Some drooled. Some burst into fits of maniacal laughter. One gal smiled and pressed 'Upload Document'.
