A/N: First part of the shopping trip!

Disclaimer, I don't own TT

Raven awoke at 6, having slept in since it was Saturday. She stretched, took a shower and meditated until she was to meet Starfire for breakfast.

Disaster didn't even begin to describe the scene that awaited her.

Star had managed to fill the kitchen with a strange orange fog, but what worried Raven the most was the fact that no smoke alarms had gone off.

Starfire soon noticed Raven and immediately enveloped her in a bone crushing hug. "Friend Raven! You are just in time to help me with the fast of break!!" the alien squealed excitedly.

With a wave of her hand, Raven vanished the fog, revealing a swamp on the stove top. "Uh, Starfire, why don't we just get breakfast on the way, you know, so we can get to the mall sooner?"

"What a glorious idea friend Raven! I shall get my purse and we will depart with haste!" Star took off gliding out of the room. Raven turned to the kitchen again, with yet another wave of her hand the mess disappeared. She didn't wish Star's cooking on any inter dimensional beast, but at least she didn't have to deal with their reactions to it.

Starfire returned with her purse and the two girls climbed the stairs to the roof. They would be flying to the mall. They made their trip in silence, making only one stop to pick up some quick breakfast.

The girls touched down in front of the mall to see an awaiting crowd. The shopping center did not open until 8. The crowd must be here for the new store. "Friend Raven, this new store in the mall of shopping is supposed to be marvelous! It is a branch of the same one we went to in Jump City when visiting our friends in the east! Do you not remember the glorious dresses and shoes?!"

Raven remembered oh so well. Star had treated her as her own personal dress up doll, forcing her to try on multiple dresses in such perky colors. She tried to forget that singular experience. Star continued to go on and on about the store, joining in on a conversation with a few nearby girls, who seemed almost as excited. Raven silently questioned her own sanity for agreeing to come.

The crowd suddenly started to shift forward, giving Raven an odd sensation in the pit of her stomach, it felt a little like fear anticipation and dread all mixed into one. Starfire squealed excitedly, zoomed up to Raven, grabbing her wrist and sped above the crowd to get in the mall and into the new store. The feeling in Raven's stomach multiplied a ten fold; there was no way she was getting out of this now.

A/N: I am SO SORRY!! I've really been working hard on my grades lately, and it did kind of pay off, that and I was in a show, but it's done now. It took up a LOT of my time, but all stupid excuses aside, I'm really sorry this took so long. I'm going to try to get a few more chapters done before I post again so I'm not crunching deadlines, so I'm giving myself a two week time span to get caught up, and then I'll hopefully have some sort of schedule. Thanks for sticking with this!
