The Accursed Mall
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coming from Titans Tower, gliding across the water was Raven and Starfire, driving Cyborg's T-Car.
"Friend Raven, please, can you fly faster. I believe I could fly on my own faster." said Starfire, unaware of the danger of that comment.
"I don't want to risk scratching Cyborg's "baby" Starfire, If you don't like my driving, then get out and fly." said Raven, in her monotone voice; Not one to beat around the bush and got right to the point. 'Oh, I'd go faster if you didn't have your seatbelt out.' thought Raven, showing a ghost of a smile.
------------
Arriving at the port of Sky City, the girls unloaded and flew the rest of the way to the mall. This lead to many goths, jocks, preps and old people pointing and screaming the approval of the teen's line of work.
Raven looked to Starfire to see her laughing and waving to her fans. 'Oh my goodness.' thought Raven as she used her magic to speed herself up, knowing that Starfire would notice and follow at equal speed.
Once they arrived, they landed gracefully and started into the Hell that was the mall, in Raven's opinion.
Two hours later, both girls came out of the mall with many bags, that held clothes, accessories, and many props for the tower. Believe it or not, Raven had a pretty good time. Raven got many new clothes she could add to her wardrobe while lounging around the house. Starfire, however, got so much more - she got many pink and light blue clothes that contrasted greatly with her geneology. She also got accessories that would most likely be worn by a prep. (I don't like preps!)
"Raven, may we please just fly home?" asked Starfire, who wanted to test herself to see if she could carry all of her luggage while just flying. "Sure" said Raven, with a smile that didn't accome her. Creating a portal of her own poewr, she transported the T-car to the garage.
"Azaroth Metrion Zinthos" chanted Raven, creating a thick layer of energy that picked her and her stuff up.
(Remember how I mentioned props for the tower? This is what they got:
Starfire - a pink lamp for her table, a new pink comforter. An orange rug, and a mirror for her closet door. She also got Vanilla shampoo and many pink accessories to accomodate her bathroom.
Raven - New books, another comforter that she would keep stored. A plan for her own private bathroom that she would give to Cyborg to see if he could help build it - Wait! I meant that she would force him to. Anyways, she also got some new incense candles for her shrine that she had in front of her bed.)
As Starfire and Raven soared through the air, they started having a race. Starfire, who wasn't having any trouble with holding her 4 bags while flying on her own power was gaining altitude and disappeared into the clouds. Raven, however, was moving on a saucer of her own power and was using her wits to win this race. As Starfire was gaining momentum for a rush, Raven used her telekinetic powers to raise the waves to carry her quicker than the air itself.
Starfire lost altitude after hearing and feeling the vapor off of the "tital wave" and went down to see what was up. What she saw was... "Where did Raven go?" asked Starfire. Thinking she had this in the bag, Starfire's eyes started to glow as she filled herself with the unbridled joy of flight and flew as fast as she could - only to see that Raven was sitting on the shore, with her pale feet in the water, relaxing.
"Good Job Friend! You have beaten me in the race of marathons!" exclaimed Starfire, showing her applause with annoying clapping. "Thanks. Let's get inside" said Raven, taking off her saucer and walking inside carrying her bags.

"YOUR GOING DOWN!" yelled Robin, as his virtual car was gaining ground over Cyborg's. "Is that so?" smirked Cyborg, as he pressed some unknown code and annihilated Robin's vehicle.
Robin, not knowing this frowned, but was short-comed as the girls walked in.
"Hey Rae, Starfire." smiled Robin, greeting the females of the house.
"Hi" said both Raven and Starfire in unison. "I shall now go try on my new "purchased greats" said Starfire. "Purchased goods" the other three residents of the room corrected.
"That too." Starfire said as she flew to her room with her new valuables.
Slightly ashamed of his defeat, Robin leapt off the back of the couch to say... "Hey Raven" said Robin, waving to Raven. "Did you have fun?"
"A blast" kidded Raven, half-smiling. "I'm going to go try on my new-"
Suddenly, the Titans Alarm went off and alerted everyone to a message being sent to the communicators. Robin, acting fast as if they were in danger of a certain orange and black masked villian, jumped for the computer screen and on that secret T.V, came the face of the president of Sky City.
Beast Boy returned just in time to see everyone huddled at the screen to see what the president had to say. Before he looked at the T.V, he observed everyone: Robin had a patient smile on his face, thinking they might get some juicy mission - Cyborg was the same. Starfire was messing with a chinese finger-holder type thing, while Raven was sitting on the couch, with her hood up, waiting patiently.
"Hello protectors of our fair Sky City. I have a very important mission for you."
"Yes! Booyah!" screamed the boys, while the girls waited patiently for his request.
"So what will we be doing? Chasing Alien monsters?" asked Beast Boy.
"Going to outer space?" asked Robin.
"Going to be protecting some HOT supermodels?" asked Cyborg, with his dream of being the biggest guy in the tower being the protector of a dozen beauties. This earned a laugh from the boys, and a death-glare from the girls of the house. Cyborg sweat-dropped.
The president chuckled. "No. Nothing like that. I need you to come to a ball."
Starfire screamed with glee, but was interupted by Raven. "Please Mr. President, I don't think I should go. I don't think I would fit in." said Raven, as politely as she could. "Besides, umm... we have an odd number of members." ended Raven, with a smile on her face.
"There's also only one girl if you didn't go." said the president.
'DARN' thought Raven angrily, knowing she was beat - thankful of years and years of meditation - meaning she didn't show any trace of anger on her face, but was FUMING on the inside. Robin, sensing this inner conflict through their bond, silently chuckled.
"I would like for you to come in a superhero costume of your choice so everyone knows of your line of work. Signing out." smiled the president, before ending the transmission.
