Starfire was walking in a steady pace, with a worried expression on her face. She had been waiting for Ash for over an hour, and he still had not shown up. Ash had told her to meet at this port by twelve midnight, and it was allready one-fifteen. Why Ash wanted to leave for Earth at such a late time was her guess, but she was sure that he had a reason. He had called her this morning and told her that he needed to get ready to go to Earth, but she didn't think that it would take him this long. She had went to sleep last night and the only thing that was on her mind the whole time that she was trying to go to sleep was him.
She kept thinking about how nice he was to her when they met at her father's grave, how he really calmed her down about her father's death. After only knowing her for about an hour, he had invited her to ride with him to Earth when she told him about how someone called her friends and lied about her having a ride. Right then, she wondered. He hadn't even asked a question about her, as though he knew everything about her allready. Only after talking to him for an hour at her father's grave, she already knew so much about him, but to her, it seemed that he knew very little about her. She smiled,
"Ash is such a nice person." Starfire said to herself as she started to pick up pebbles off the ground and throw them at the wall that she faced
She bent down and grabed a handfull of rocks with her right hand. She took a pebble in her right hand and threw it on the ground. When the rock hit the ground, it made a loud thud. Although she didn't put much force into it, it still made the ground under her feet quivel a bit and cracked the cement. She herself didn't even understand what she just said. She didn't put any thought into what she just said, since that is not near how she thought the words would come out of her mouth.
"He is very..." Starfire said to herself again, turning her head both ways as though to make sure none were listening on her, and then finished with her face turning light, scarlet red, "attractive."
That is how she really felt. Ever since the first time she saw him, she was attracted to him. She loved how his hair was, medium long to his neck. He was very handsome, that is what she thought. Soon, the blush went away as she thought of Robin. She still found herself attracted to him, but was still attracted to Ash. She knew she would have to chose one of them to have feeling for. She was so confused with her thoughts that she didn't even hear the footsteps comming in her direction.
"Sorry I'm late." the voice said, and then Ash comming out of the darkness around the port, "Lost track of time.
"Nice to see you again." Starfire said as Ash walked up to her
Starfire picked up another peeble and threw it at the same wall as before. It made the same thud as it did when it hit the ground and again left a large mark on the wall.
"Do not mind me the asking," Starfire ask trying to use the best English that she could muster up, "but how do we plan on getting to Earth?"
Before Starfire could even finish the sentence, Ash had put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a small capsule. On the capsule, it had to small letters that were CC.
"Stand back, Starfire." Ash warned her right before he threw the capsule that was in his hand on the ground, and then himself backing up
Starfire watched as the capsule turned multi-courled. First to green, then purple, then red, and then turned bright white. Starfire turned her head away so the brightness wouldn't blind her, but Ash kept his eyes on the glowing capsule as though the light didn't put a glare in his eyes. The ground then started to shake as the capsule was about to open. Then, withen a few seconds, the capsule opened and a cloud of smoke imendently surounded the tiny capsule. Starfire covered her eyes so none of the smoke would get into them.
When the smoke cleared and Starfire could get a clear look at what came out of the capsule, Starfire gasped at the sight in front of her. A slick-black spaceship, about three times the size of the Titan's T-ship, was sitting in front of her. It looked a lot like the T-ship by the way it was formed. As Starfire's eyes moved around the ship, she noticed it had a very large window in the front of the ship. She tried to get a glimps inside of the ship, but the window was tinted. She also noticed that window was the only window on the ship.
"This," Ash said as he held out his hand as though to introduce it, "is how where geting to Earth."
"Wow!" Starfire said with amasment, "It is so big!"
"It's as big as ships come." Ash said
Starfire flew a quick lap around the ship to see what the whole thing looked like. All over the ship, besides the windows and other essental ship items that had to be a different color, was pure black. It also shined all over, as though Ash had just waxed the ship. She also found out that the window was in fact tinted.
"Amazing, isn't it." Ash asked her when she got back to him after the lap around the ship, "It's the peak of Saiyan technolagy at the time the planet was destroyed."
"Your planet must have been far more advanced than most." Starfire said with wonder in her voice
"Much more." Ash said and then yelled, "OPEN!"
With the word being said, a tiny portion of the ship opened up and an escalator slowly moved down to the ground. The whole escalator, besides the railing, was pearly-white. The railing was a shiny gray. The whole escalator stood out from the ship because it was almost the only thing on the outside of the ship that wasn't black. When it touched down to the ground, although heavy, the stairs didn't make a loud thud onto the ground. Starfire watch as Ash walked up to the first step and then turned around to Starfire.
"After you." Ash said politly as he held out his hand to Starfire
A small smile appeared on Starfire face and started to blush as she laid her hand onto Ash's palm. Ash slowly enclosed his hand around her's and led her up to the first step. Ash let go of Starfire's hand and then yelled
"UP!" Ash yelled as he looked up at the ship
The stairs started to move, in escalator form, up to the ship. It took about a minute, but when the esclater fully extended back to the ship, Starfire got a full look at the inside of the ship.
The room that she was in was just as large as the Teen Titans living room. The floors were marble white and when walked on, made an echo. As she looked around, she saw that it was familar to her own home with the Teen Titans. It had a fairly large flat screen TV on one side. It also had the window that she was trying to look into from the outside in the room.
"Amazing!" Starfire said with entusiasm and then started walking around in the ship
"Also fast." Ash said about the ship, "We'll be at Earth by morning."
Starfire walked around the room, Ash hearing a few more "Amazing" and "beautiful" untill he had decided to interupt.
"Follow me." Ash said, " I'll bring you to your room."
Starfire followed Ash down a long hallway that was roughly 150 feet. The hallway walls were plain white with no color and no pictures on them at all. About halfway through it, Ash and Starfire stopped a dark black door, which looked very strange compared to it's pure white surroundings.
"Here's your room." Ash said as opened the door
The room was the size of her room at the Titan's Tower. The whole room reminded her of her old room at the Titan's Tower to. Everything in the room was purple. The carpet, walls, ceiling, bed, pillows. Starfire walked into the room.
"I hope you like it." Ash asked her, "I didn't have much time to prepare it."
Starfire walked over to Ash and hugged him.
"Oh, It's beautiful." Starfire said as she was still holding him
After a minute of hugging him, she let go.
"I was pretty sure purple was your color." Ash said while signaling to the colors of her cloths
Ash walked over to the door.
"I'm sorry I came at midnight to pick you up, you must be tired." Ash said and then opened the door, "I'll won't bother you."
Ash walked out and closed the door, leaving Starfire by herself. Ash was right, Starfire was very tired. She walked over to the lightswitch and turned the lights off in her room. She then walked over to the bed and moved herself into the covers. They would be at Earth at morning, so she had to go to sleep now if she planned to wake up fresh in the morning.
She was so excited, she was finialy going to see all of her friends again. Cyborg, Raven, Beastboy, and Robin. Starfire was suprised that no different emotion came to her when she thought of Robin, but that is how it has been since she had met Ash. Ever since then, she had felt no wierd Earth emotion when she thought of Robin. She thought of him now as he did of Cyborg, Raven, and Beastboy; a friend. Her mind got off the subject, she was tired. She felt fatigued from getting almost no sleep last night. She closed her eyes and almost instantly went to sleep. The last thing that she felt was the ship lifting off the ground and drifting upwards to the stars.
"Goodnight Ash." Starfire wispered to herself as she drifted off to sleep
I'm sorry again that this chapter wasn't very long, but I promise you the next chapter will be long. It preety hard to do two whole chapters with just two characters, but next chapter they will all the Titans will come into play. I really need some reviews, so please, feel free to review. Also, about the couples in this story, I'm not sure. But just because it seems like it will be one couple at the start of the story, I might just be leading you on and there would be a completly diferent couple at the end of the story. I'm just not sure yet.
