Chapter 8
Getting Ready
(Raven's POV)
I can't believe it. Robin, yes Robin the boy wonder, is kissing me. But why would he be doing such a thing? I thought that he liked Starfire. Maybe this is just something for the moment, you know, one of those "kiss me, we're about to die" things. Grrr…just shut up Raven and enjoy this moment. You were too late Raven. Robin pulled away from me.
He then started talking to me. "Raven, you need to tell me what happened back at the café." Well then. I guess that….that kiss was just something to get my attention. So much for romance, if that was even considered to be a type of romance.
"Well you see, how should I put this, okay, remember when Starfire and I switched bodies? Well, as you know, her powers are based off of thoughts of happiness, which allows her to produce her starbolts and fly. My powers are similar to hers, but mine react and feed off of emotions. Why do you think I act the way I do? Whenever I express emotions…something bad happens. You got an example of that happening today. I was showing my emotions too much, and my powers went berserk. Basically that means that my powers were in control instead of me controlling them. The object that was subject to destruction was the building." Great. Now that Robin knew that about me, he really won't like me. Well girl, you should savor that kiss forever, because it will be the only one that I will ever have gotten, especially from HIM.
"Robin calling Cyborg. How is everything going over there?" Robin asked. If nothing was okay I would ask to leave the team. Yeah, leave the team. Then no one else would get hurt because of me.
"Everything is okay over here. The store was closed today, so only a few people on the sidewalk got a few minor injuries, but nothing more than a few bumps and bruises. We'll be back at the tower in a little while. I'd esti-shut up Beastboy-I'd estimate about an hour and a half. The clean up crew is here already and the people are getting taken care of. So…how is Raven?" Cyborg replied to Robin. Thank goodness no one got hurt because of me. Just a few minor injuries, no deaths.
What surprised me was Robin's reply to Cyborg. With his answer, he smiled and then he said, "I think that she is all better now. Robin out." Once he closed his communicator and put it in his pocket, he faced towards me and with a slight smile, "Are you okay Raven?" I nodded and gave a weak smile. "Good. Well then, I'll be in my room for a while. You should rest before the others get here. They'll probably start bothering you, but I'll do my best to make sure that they don't, okay?" Without waiting for my reply, he turned and, with what I presumed, he went to his room.
(Terra's POV)
Cyborg was driving us back to the tower. "Now remember, Beastboy, no stupid jokes. I am sure that after a rough day that Raven had she really doesn't want to see you. And Starfire, I am sure that she would appreciate playing with the band of rubber, but I really don't think that she'll be in the mood for doing that, either. She will probably want to meditate, so let her have peace and quiet. Terra, you might want to go and see-" I cut Cyborg off. "-Already planning on doing so, Cy. I'll talk to her."
I was pretty sure that Raven was physically okay, but I was worried about how she was mentally. What worried me was how Robin treated her. Was she okay? How harsh did he go on her? It was only an accident, so he can't really blame her for that, now can he? "We're he-" I immediately opened up the car door and ran straight to Raven's room. "Raven?" No answer. "Rae, are you there?" Still no reply. I opened her door and looked in her room. No Raven. Where was that girl? I figured that she was in the shower so I left her alone and I went to my room. When I opened the door I was attacked by a flying purplish blue figure. "R-Rae?" I was in a Starfire death-hug. She finally let go of me. I gasped. "Are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever?" "Nope." She said with a huge grin.
We both sat on my bed with our, no, my legs folded criss-cross, Raven's neatly tucked under her thighs. She had just finished explaining everything to me about what had happened earlier today. "What? No way! Are you kidding me?"
(Starfire's POV)
I was getting ready to go up to my room, which was down the hallway from Terra and Raven's room. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but when I heard Terra squeal with delight, I just had to know what was going on. "What? No way! Are you kidding me?" I stayed where I was standing, and I waited for Raven's reply. Why was I not a part of this conversation? I knew that Terra and Raven were closer than I was with both, but they always invited me to their 'sleepovers' and girl things. We were all sisters. Or, at least that must have been what they wanted me to think. No, Starfire, they are your friends don't think like that about them. It was not Raven that replied, but Terra, again. "I can't believe it! He really kissed you? He just walked into your room and kissed you? I never thought that Robin would do such a thing! Well, what was it like?" I didn't wait for Raven to reply. I had heard enough.
Instead of going to my room to do my research on Cyborg's laptop until mine was fixed, I went to Robins. "Robin, may I talk to you?" "Uh, sure Star" He came out. He was not wearing his mask, and he was in some sort of skater shoes with the logo DC on the side. Must've been the DC shoes from the DC shoe store. I remember Robin mentioning that that was his favorite shoe store. His hair was pulled straight forward and spiked in the back. He was in all black, as usual, which I shouldn't really know if that was the usual, because he was always in his costume, but one thing that I knew for sure was that he looked, yummy, or handsome as the adults say. I wonder where he was planning to go. I whispered, "No, I mean on the roof. This is private." I couldn't wait to drop the stupid act. Really, I couldn't. But of course, Cyborg felt happy that he thought he was helping me learn how to use all of the technologies, so I have to keep this lame act up. But I kinda like it in an alter-ego way. "Oh, uh sure." He said. I wonder if he thought that I was planning on talking about what he did with Raven.
"So Star, what did you need to talk to me about?" Robin asked. "Well you see Robin, I was wondering if we could all go to a party that I know about. You know, to have fun and get away from work?" He nodded and called all of the Titans. "Get dressed in casual clothes and come on to the main room." He closed his communicator and told me to get dressed.
I didn't know what to wear. I had to look beautiful because, well I am told that I am, so I have to try to keep my popularity, which is another pointless thing in the human culture, but I came to this planet, so I must get used to the customs that they have. I chose a bright magenta halter top with matching high heels and a denim skirt with fringe on the end.
When I walked to the main room, everyone was waiting for me. "Yo Star, could you have taken any longer?" Beastboy asked. "I am sorry, friends, but I thought that you are supposed to dress fancy for parties?" Everyone nodded and smiled. "Well then, what are we waiting for? I got a map to the location of the party and let us get our butts in the car and go!" Cyborg said.
In the T-Car, I got a chance to see what everyone was wearing. Cyborg was wearing a black t-shirt with a white one under it, black pants and what looked like black shoes. Terra was wearing a tomato red colored shirt that showed her back as she was sitting, a pair of black cloth-like material pants and some sort of red and white shoe. Beastboy was wearing a purple 'hoody' sweatshirt, and blue jeans. Raven's outfit is what surprised me the most. She was wearing a black v-neck shirt, which was surprisingly tight, and pair of L.E.I. jeans, which I might include, was ultra tight as well. I knew that she was trying to catch Robin's eye.
"Weeell it looks like we are here!" Cyborg said. We all started to get out of the car.
I understand that this was an incredibly boring chapter…well it was to me at least, but I had to have something to get to my plot at the party. So yeah. And I understand that it wasn'tas long as my previous chapter, but if I were to add more then this chapter would have been like 3,000 words long, lol. Anyways, expect only 2 more chapters left of this story!
