Chapter 7- Hour 2, The Pretty Lady
The Titan's were walking threw the park when something very interesting happened…
"Would the pretty lady like to test her strength?" a voice came from one of the many games lined up on both sides of the walk. "If you can get to at least the You're Pretty Strong level you get a teddy bear!" he called.
"Robin, may I test my strength?" she asked. She really wanted the purple teddy bear and knew she could easily win it.
"If you want, Star," he said, reaching for his wallet. He pulled out $2. "Here you go." He gave her the money willingly.
"Thank you!" she exclaimed. She threw her arms around him in a hug that could kill before darting toward the game. All the Titans looked at Robin and shook their heads as they headed off to watch Star. Robin blushed a little but went to watch Starfire happily.
"Okay, just slam the hammer as hard as you can on the button," the man explained as Starfire picked up the hammer.
"Go Starfire!" Beast Boy shrieked happily.
"Ya, you go girl!" Cyborg called.
"Do your thing…" Raven said trying to sound as enthusiastic about winning a stuffed animal as the others did. Robin just smiled excitedly as Starfire lifted the hammer and swung.
DUNG the bell rang as the piece of metal hit the top. Starfire had barely looked like she was trying.
"What prize do I win?" She asked eagerly. Impatience and excitement shined in her eyes.
"The life size teddy bear…" The plump man said surprised. His mouth was ajar ever so slightly.
"I'll take that purple one with a bow on the ear!" Starfire exclaimed with delight.
"Great job Star!" Robin said encouragingly. "I thought you would blow the top off that thing!"
"The game was rigged," Cyborg said laughingly. "I could tell. The whole thing shook ever so slightly right before it reached 'You're Pretty Strong'!" He started laughing his head off and people were beginning to stare.
"So Starfire beat a rigged game?" Beast Boy asked.
"Yep!" Cyborg replied. This time they both broke out laughing.
"I do not understand what is so funny…" Starfire said, sounding offended, hurt in her eyes.
"The game you played was designed so no one could win, Star, but you one anyway," Robin said smiling at her. He watched as her indignant look melted away and a small smile tugged on her lips. But then it turned into a frown. "What's wrong?"
"Why would someone be so mean and make it impossible to win?" She asked as though this would never happen anywhere.
"Because they want your money and they won't have to buy new prizes," Robin said. "It's not right, but some people are greedy like that on Earth."
"I'm glad I have beaten the 'rigged' machine then," Starfire said, looking rather displeased with the idea of rigging anything. Robin just chuckled softly under his breath. Oh, how cute she looked when she was mad…
Hope ya liked it!
