This chapter is full of squishy sisterly friendship between Star and Ruby. And it is also made of food. i like food. :3

Anyway I have little humor on brain right now. I have to see dead people at a graveyard so that'll be fun. But hey i get free eats right?

Starfire floated happily around Ruby, waiting and watching as she began to finish her breakfast. "Hey star what's wrong?" she asked, taking huge gulps of her chocolate milk. She beamed to the fullest and patted her hands together. "I am just so excited to go to the shopping with my new friend. Just you and me! Raven does not wish to go."

"Humph…that's surprising." The two girls glared at each other for a second and Ruby shrugged it off. "Eh, we're cool. But next time you're going to come with us."

"Not on your life hothead."

"Eh, suits you!" She sprang up from the table, taking Starfire's hand and saluted to the teens. The guys tried to jump aboard but she shook her head, "Nu-uh! Girl's day out. I bet Starfire hasn't had something like this happen especially with dark and gloomy in the corner." Raven glared up at the fox woman again from reading her book but all it took was a plea of sadness from Ruby's big eyes to make her calm down. After making her sure her hide was safe she looked at her wristwatch, "See you guys in a couple hours. Call you if there's trouble!" The front door slammed and the two crossed the water entering the hustling downtown shopping area of Jump City. They walked side to side and Ruby rubbed her head in confusion. "Uhm…so what exactly are we shopping for?"

"Decorative objects for your room. Maybe new seating arrangements and the sheet that covers the bed."

"I saw your room. It's very…uhm you!"

"I based the designs off my home planet's royalty! Are you impressed?" Ruby grabbed her shoulder and nodded with a great grin, "Yeah I am Star."

They started at a department store and instantly Ruby fell head over heels for a bed set filled with images of rubber duckies. "Oh these are so adorable! But I don't know if they would really fit in with the décor I want to get…"

Starfire scooted her over to another bed set on display and pointed at it. It had an African-style pattern imbedded onto it. "How about this one? It is very…you!"

She lie on the fluffy bed and stroked the top. "It's really soft! I think we'll get this one. Good eye Starfire!"

"I am glad I can be of assistance. Where to next?"

"Let's go pick out some decorations."

They traveled across the street after buying the covers and saw a shop with old antiques from across the nations. They stared starry-eyed towards pictures of old heroes from Medieval times and statues of Asian Dragons protecting great knowledge in the form a pearl. Ruby picked up a couple of the dragons to use in a bookshelf and choose a couple of old books to read. Starfire was elated when she found the picture of the Kitsune, nine tailed fox straight from Japan. The artist was from Kyoto and was offering to sell it cheap. They picked up it too and planned to use it on Ruby's wall above her bed. After scanning and making sure there was nothing else she liked, the two went straight into a clothing store.

"Why are we here?"

"Just for the heck of it. I wanted to try stuff on." Ruby couldn't help but hid her her blush as they traveled further and further back into the clothing, lost within the colorful fabrics and velvety textures. Starfire gave a squeal when Ruby grabbed her, the two ducking down into a rack full of puffy dresses. "We are not here for only the purchase of clothing are we?"

"No…I wanted to tell you something?"

"I am listening."

She sighed and looked Starfire in the green eyes closely. "Promise you won't tell anybody!"

"I promise now what is it?" She clasped her hands over Ruby's in a sisterly fashion. Ruby's ears flickered as she stared to the left, completely overtook by the red on her face. "I think I have a little crush on Cyborg. Not a little crush but like a huge, monstrous, gigantic crush that is going to squish me if I don't tell him! I've always looked up to the Titans ever since you came to Jump City and I've always liked him."

"You should tell him then. I exposed my feelings for Robin and we are doing the dating." "Yeah and I know we're a lot alike. It's just I can't find the guts to speak with him about it."

"Give the feeling some time. And when you think the time is right, you should tell him." Stafire patted Ruby's hands and gave another beam, pointing at the clock. "We should be returning home by now."

"Y-Yeah." They rose from the clothing rack and began to go towards the exit. "Hey Strafire?"

"Yes?" She turned back as Ruby stood there in a flush. She placed her hands behind her back and blinked. "Thanks."

The two continued back to the tower.
