Kori was all in a daze. She thought over her problem. She had just left the place in which she had been born and raised. She had found out a secret of her friend, Beastel. And now here was Raven, turning around to talk her of how they must change their ways.
"You see," she began, "we need to change our names. Beastel, you are going to have to change it (this was followed by a scowl from Beastel). Kori, I think that your name should be changed to something to remember your home. And since you came from outer space..." she thought for a long time. Kori looked up.
"What about Starfire?" Kori said. It sounded beautiful.
Raven smiled. "I like it. But what about Beastel?"
Beastel frowned. "I don't want to change my name! Got it? And if I have to, then change it hardly! I love the name Beastel!" and with that, he walked into the back, shutting a door behind him.
Raven stared at the closed door. She turned back and started muttering things. Kori (or, rather, Starfire) heard only a little snippet of each sentence, such as "Beast...Beast...Beast" and "The only boy, would that help?". At the end of a moment, she looked up, smiling. "Beast Boy it is!"
Meanwhile, on Earth, a young blonde was making her way to the store. Her name was Terra, and the only thing in the world that she wanted was to have superpowers.
She turned the corner, and came face-to-face with Robin. She had known him for years, and had witnessed love at first sight.
"Hiya, Robbie! What's happening? I heard that you lost your job—is it true? Well?"
Robin nodded, still frowning. He hated the nicknames that Terra called him. But she didn't know about the entire job loss—he had quit, not been fired. Robin walked away, pretending not to see Terra's hurt face.
Millions of miles above, Beastel (Beast Boy) was coming out of the room. He looked at Raven and asked, "So, what's the verdict? What's my new name?"
Raven told him, and he smiled. "I like it. It really describes me, doesn't it?" he said.
Raven smiled. "Yes, and I was hoping that you would stick with it."
"I know a place to land," Beast Boy said, " I have been to Earth a lot. I have a friend there. Two, actually."
Starfire raised her head. "What are they like?"
Beast Boy continued without hesitation, "One is named CY, and he is a Cyborg, there fore earning his name. His real name is actually Cyborg, come to think of it."
"Go on." Starfire said, bewildered at this person, who was in her book.
"And the other is named Robin. He is a big hit with the ladies. He has spiky black hair and one weird thing is that he never takes off a silly black mask that only covers his eyes. He is really—Kori? You okay?" He said, for Starfire had just turned deathly pale. She fainted from the knowing of the people in the book. On her way down she bumped her head on the table, and her brain suffered from amnesia before she even woke up.
