Chapter Nine: Euphoria
Written By Beta Tester
Beastboy stealth fully made his way into the bathroom. He had morphed into a fly once again to squeeze beneath the crack in the door. Cyborg was too busy whistling to himself in the shower to hear Beastboy as he tip toed to the toilet. Gleefully grinning Beastboy placed his finger on the handle and gently pulled down. A rush of fluids poured out into the toilet as all the cold water was drained from the shower. Cyborg began yelping in pain as Beastboy ran for the doorway, snickering along the way…
Raven was in the living room once again reading her ancient text. She had by now recovered from the horrible night at the Halloween costume party. Starfire was humming gleefully to herself as she prepared her Tameranian food. Silkie was slowly making his way across the counter of which Starfire was cooking. It had been deduced earlier by the two females that Robin was probably in the gym training once again.
A green blur whizzed past Raven as a faint rapture of giggles followed. Raven glanced up from her book as her hair blew in her face. No sooner had she looked up did Cyborg come barreling into the room, sopping wet, waving a large white scrubbing brush in one hand while holding a towel about his waist in his other hand.
"I'm gonna get you ya little grass stain!" Cyborg bellowed as he charged after Beastboy who was taunting Cyborg from his safe vicinity on the opposite side of the living room. The two childish juveniles ran about the room in a torrent of discord and chaos.
Starfire blankly observed this strange battle as she attempted to protect her glorious cooking from the rampaging movements of the two battlers. Raven irritably snapped her book shut as she glared angrily at the scene. Beastboy was now morphed into a humming bird and was hovering inches out of reach of Cyborg's large clanking arms. Raven stared at Beastboy using her mental abilities morphed Beastboy into his human form as she had once done before.
"What the!" Beastboy yelped as he began to fall, strait into Cyborg's clamping hands. Raven rose from her seating and drifted out of the room speechless as usual. Beastboy and Cyborg stared momentarily in confusion, but it was short lived as Cyborg began giving Beastboy a wet-wily. "Gahh! Uncle! I give!" Beastboy pleaded as he struggled to get out of Cyborg's immense grip. Starfire resumed humming joyfully to herself as the morning continued.
Raven passed Robin on her way to her room. She was busy watching the movement of the floor under her feet as Robin smiled and greeted her usually, "Hey Raven. Everything alright?"
Raven shifted from her trance slightly as she aimlessly answered his question, "nothing just Beastboy's usual immaturity." She reached her room and slid into her room quietly shutting the door behind her. Robin stared for a brief moment in confusion but was quick to shake off the confusion as he resumed his walk to the living room in hopes of finding Starfire there.
His assumption was right; there she was feeding Silkie her Tameranian Berry food. Robin winced at the thought of the bitter food. She had once forced him to try those berries. Robin recalled nearly puking on them but he managed to swallow them, regrettably. He resumed walking into the living room seeing Cyborg pounding Beastboy once again only this time at a video game. He had no idea what Raven had been muttering about earlier, but the scene looked peaceful for the time being.
"Robin!" Starfire joyfully announced seeing her companion had now entered the scene. She jumped into the air with Silkie still in her arms as she glided over to Robin. "How was your training, did you kick the butt?"
Robin smiled and nodded; he turned to where the other male friends had been lazily slumped on the couch. "Why was Raven annoyed this time? Beastboy!"
Beastboy turned about from the couch defensively. "Me! All I was doing was trying to save myself from Metal Butt over here," Beastboy shouted while pointing his thumb over at Cyborg's head, which was now turning around to engage its own voice in the conversation.
"Well maybe if someone hadn't flushed the toilet while I was in the shower they would have to run away from me!" Cyborg retorted. The two childish friends were beginning to stare each other down. Robin was smacking his head at this point once he realized everything that had happened.
"Enough!" Robin shouted before the two could even begin to partake in another fight. "Look I don't know exactly what happened, perhaps Raven was thinking about something else, but she mentioned your named Beastboy that's why I blamed you first."
"Why does she always target me?" A whining Beastboy pouted as he folded his arms and turned to face to television once again.
"She didn't look like she was blaming you, but she did looked preoccupied though." Robin responded, hoping the conversation would end shortly; he wanted to get away from Cyborg and Beastboy's ramblings.
"Ha!" Cyborg announced almost randomly. Beastboy's mouth was wide open in disbelief as Cyborg raised his arms in a victory celebration. He leaned right next to Beastboy and whispered in his ear. "I win."
Beastboy dropped the controller and got up and began to walk out of the room. Robin looked at him concerned. "You okay?"
"He's just mad cause I won the bet so now he has to do what I told him to do." Cyborg injected the answer for Beastboy. "But I need a new opponent, you wanna race Robin?"
Robin began to walk over to the television as Starfire followed, she looked sympathetically back at Beastboy as he faded into the hallway. Robin spoke as he grabbed the controller, "What are you making him do?" Starfire took her place beside Robin as she intended to watch the game while feeding Silkie.
Cyborg ginned wildly as he started up a new game, "You'll see, later."
TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
The afternoon passed as the sun set into dark and the night began. Raven had been secluded to her room the entire day since the incident. Starfire had her fun watching the two boys play their games and She was now out on the roof. Viewing the stars as they gleamed in the night sky. Her hair was waving gently in the breeze as the fair gust blew through. Her feet lay dangling over the edge to the tower as red lights slowly beamed on and off as they light her face. Robin had just arrived from the stairs, the door opened with a fairly loud creak.
She turned herself looking at the door. Robin's persona was displayed as the door noisily clicked shut. His cape fluttered in the breeze as her hair had been doing. "Starfire?" Came the voice from the door. She was certain now that it was Robin.
"Robin!" She responded. Robin acknowledged her voice and began to approach her. The red skylights began to give color to Robin's silhouette, as they rhythmically beamed off and on.
He sat besides her facing the edge looking out into the lake. It gleamed with beauty as the city lights waved and flickered in the placid waters. The scene reminded Robin of the story of Beowulf, and the burning lake to which Grendel the monster lived. He turned to see Starfire; she too was staring into the lake. She reminded him of Beowulf himself. Fearless, powerful, and courageous.
For the first time in a while he was tired of talking. Tired of being so simple about everything. She was wearing the necklace that he had given her for a while back. He smiled. She noticed that he was watching her. She turned to look at him; she too was smiling.
"So last night was okay right?" Robin broke the silence.
"Oh Robin! Last night was most wonderful; I could not be happier!" Starfire squealed blissfully.
Robin moved his hand slightly resting it on hers. They both looked down at the view below where the city lay sleeping in its bright night. Robin made up his mind now…it bothered him far too much to think about it any further. He turned back at Starfire and quietly whispered her name to her. "Starfire."
"Yes Robin?" She turned her head to his once more. He was staring into her emerald green eyes with euphoria. He leaned next to her kissing her on the lips. His eyes were closed and shortly after so were Starfire's.
Slowly Robin lifted his free hand placing it on Star's shoulder. His green glove gently sliped down her back as the two drew closer to one another. Starfire was now drawing her hands along Robin's back wishing he didn't have his cape in the way.
In the distance a few clouds began to roll in. A faint rumble echoed as a bright flash erupted blinding the night sky.
Bet I had some people going there at the end, hoping for a little more. Sorry I don't do anything like that in Fan Fics. Chapter 10 will be the last one so keep an eye out for it. I should get it out soon.
