After the horrendous experience of bathing together, the two groups were finally dressed, and meeting out in the hallway.
However, it was only the guys that were waiting, and it was really wearing their patience.
"Agh! What's takin' so dang long!" Billy snorted angrily as he leaned back into the wall with his arms crossed in a childish manner.
"Yeah! I mean, why do girls always have to take so long just to get dressed?" Beast Boy added as one door finally opened, and out came the two sisters, Steffauri and Hayley.
Steffauri clad in a light blue strapless dress with white gloves, and her butt-length brown hair trailed elegantly behind her.
While her younger sister wore her blonde hair up in a bun, with a red ribbon to match her red silk dress; which was also strapless like her sister's.
"So, what do you think?" Steffauri asked as she posed for the guys.
However, all she got was one, all out response from them; "Whoa…"
The sisters then blushed as a few more doors opened.
Jinx emerged first, her long pink hair was now straightened and hanging past her shoulders and cascading down onto her dark violet dress.
Then was raven (Of course) Clad in black, then Starfire in pink, but Terra still hadn't come out yet.
BB looked around, when suddenly, the last door before the group slowly creaked open, to reveal Terra standing there in the doorway dressed in a stunning dress of white silk hanging over her shoulders.
Beast Boy could hardly get over the image.
As Steffauri began to walk to her boyfriend's side, he began to make his way over to Terra to compliment her.
"AH! BB, wai-" Steffauri then cut herself off, and lowered her arm with a saddened sigh.
Ever since Terra had come back, she and Beast Boy's relationship had gotten slowly worse and worse.
And she knew, that something had to be done.
A few moments later, the two groups had made their way downstairs, to find that almost everyone they'd fought in the Brotherhood HQ was there, including the Titans East, whom called them over.
"Hey ya'll! Over here!" Bumblebee called from across the ballroom.
Cyborg's attitude towards the whole thing immediately perked up as he looked over and saw Bumblebee standing there in a velvet pinkish white dress, cut about five inches up from the knee on each side.
"Well, uh, your lookin', nice." Cyborg managed to say as he tried to hide his reddened face.
Bumblebee merely gave him a friendly punch in the shoulder and linked arms with him.
"Hmm, you don't look that bad yourself Sparky." Bee laughed as she coined Cy's old nickname, as she dragged him out to the dance floor.
As the two groups began to grab partners and depart from one another, Robin and Hayley remained alone.
The blonde princess way making attempts to coax her boyfriend to dance with her, but Robin was just getting more suspicious.
"Why would someone deliberately host a party where the guests are ALL heroes and villains? And why the hell did all the party clothes fit us when we'd all selected rooms at random?" The boy wonder thought to himself as she looked around the grand ballroom.
Nothing suspicious seemed to be happening, right then at least.
"Robin? Robin?" Hayley exclaimed as she tapped her boyfriend's shoulders a few times, trying to snap him out of his little train o' thought. (Tee-Hee!)
"Huh?" The boy wonder finally gasped as he turned around to see Hayley smiling.
"C'mon, nothing bad's goin' on, let's just kick back and have some fun for once!" Hayley coaxed as she grabbed Robin out onto the dance floor.
Meanwhile, over at the refreshment table, Mammoth, Gizmo, and Billy were gawking at all the food placed on the uncannily long table before them.
Mammoth then picked up a plate, scratched his head, and the esamined the plate of tiny sandwiches.
"Hmm, hey, what the hell are theses things? They're like little midget versions of sandwiches." Mammoth bellowed as Billy placed his hand on the youngest team mate's head.
"Yeah, that's why we call 'em Gizmo sandwiches!" Billy said as everyone but Gizmo cracked up laughing.
"HEY!" The kid genius cried out from down below them, Steffauri then pushed her way through the laughing boys over to Mammoth.
"Uh, big guy. These are finger sandwiches, they're supposed to be small." The princess replied as she took one and popped it into her mouth.
Billy then stepped up before the group and approached her in all his rednecky glory. (LOL! I don't care if that's not a word, it's MY word!)
"Well soooooory!" Billy began in a sarcastic tone as his unruly brown hair flopped down a little ways over his eyes. (And for the record, yes, the party members have on party attire, which excludes their masks.)
"Excuse me?" Steffauri asked idly as Billy moved back a step before continuing.
"Well sorry that we dunno all that hoity toity royal rich folk crap like you do! Get wit it will ya!" Billy cried out as Steffauri looked on with a hurt face as she went of to find BB.
"Nice going." Kyd Wykkyd piped up from behind them as he took a seat at a nearby table.
And with that, his fellow teammates looked on with the same confused expressions as the other girls in the bathroom earlier. (WHOO! And we all remember THAT chappie!)
Meanwhile, on the dance floor, the music suddenly came to a stop, the dancers clapped, and the lead pianist stepped up to the mike.
"Alright, any volunteers for karaoke?" He asked as Steffauri raised her glove clad hand high and grabbed BB.
"Agh! Steff, I can't sing!" He cried out as Steffauri smiled and the man pointed to them.
"Aw come on! Who cares! I'll bet no one else her can do that well either!" Steffauri smiled as BB finally smiled and shrugged as he was dragged off onto the stage.
Steffauri took her seat at the large white baby grand piano, and BB took his position at the mike.
"Steff, what should we sing?" He asked as Steffauri muttered "Your Beautiful. You know, that James Blunt song I like? Yeah, that one!" She finished as BB nodded as groaned as he turned to face the awaiting dancers.
BB hated the song, although he already knew the lyrics by heart since his girlfriend had crammed every fucking lyric into his head!
Just then, Steffauri began to play.
And with a heavy sigh, BB began to sing…..Terribly.
"My life is brilliant
My love is pure,
I saw an angel,
Of that I'm sure
She smiled at me on the subway
She was with another man
But I'm gonna let her-
Sleep on that, cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful!
You're Beautiful!
You're Beautiful! It's true!" Just then, BB caught sight of Terra, and sang the one part of the song that tore his heart to shreds.
"But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be, with you."
The changeling finished as he tried to hold back tears as Terra switched hands from Speedy to Hot Spot.
And to his extreme misfortune, Steffauri had been watching the whole thing. And she was getting even more worried.
"Can our relationship really be ending right here? But why? Please don't let it be true! Don't let him leave me, like Kodainma!" Steffauri thought to herself as she began to cry while she played.
(NOTE-Kodainma is an important person to Steffauri that will be revealed probably in the next chapter or so.)
Soon enough, the song was over, and the couple stepped down off the stage. BB was smirking, Steffauri was wiping tears from her face.
"Steffauri?" BB asked as he placed his hand on her shoulder, only to have it swatted off before she ran away crying.
However, BB didn't bother chasing after her.
Instead, he just stood there, with a worried look on his face as he slowly whispered-"She knows." To himself.
Meanwhile, Steffauri was in the bathroom nearby, washing off her face.
"Damn Billy! Damn Terra! Damn Beast Boy! AGHHH!" The girl cried as she pounded on the sink, and then looked up back into the mirror at her face.
But, this time, along with her face, there was something else.
Steffauri could've sworn on her life that she'd just seen a dingy black shadow passing by her.
She remained frozen, her brown eyes widened, as it passed by again, and again, and again.
But the poor girl was too stunned to scream, instead, she just fainted, and lay there on the floor, as she shadows of nothing faded away.
Back upstairs, Madame Ammoraye was watching it all unfold before her.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, it's only a matter of time, only a matter of time." She said darkly to herself, as she focused on the screen with Steffauri's passed out body.
And began to plot the downfall of the others.
