Trip to Hawaii

Starfire

Starfire had walked around for a little bit before spying a small rental shop. "I wonder what this tiny mall contains," she said. With her curiosity getting the best of her, and since she had nothing better to do, she went to check it out. Inside, she saw a bunch of swim gear and surfboards on every rack and shelf. Starfire's eyes widened with excitement. Starfire saw some surfboards, and after giving a little thought, she decided to surf that afternoon. She walked over to the surfboards to pick one out. After a few minutes of being unable to pick one, she saw an employee and called him over to her. He walked over with a kind smile on his face. "Welcome to Hawaii's Rental Shack," he said. "Have you made a decision on a board yet? They're all in very good condition." Starfire saw a bright pink board with blue suns on it. "Would you recommend this one?" she asked. "I have never experienced the art of surfing before, and this board looks very pretty." The employee looked at it. "Well, I don't think a board this size is good for you," he said. "You might need a smaller one." Starfire sighed. "But," the employee added, causing Starfire to look at him with high hopes. "I think we might have a small board in the back that has this same design. Let me look real quickly." He went to the back and looked around for it. Starfire waited anxiously for him to come back out. After 20 seconds passed, she saw him come out carrying a pink board with blue suns on it. Starfire jumped for joy. "Here you go, miss," said the employee. "Thank you so very much sir!" said Starfire. She took the board and tucked it under her arm. "Now, if you would be so kind, would you please point me in the direction of the 'suits that are wet'?" she asked. The employee raised an eyebrow. "You mean……wetsuits?" Starfire nodded. "Of course, they're right over there," he said as he pointed to the opposite end of the store. "Thank you again sir," said Starfire. Starfire turned around. Unfortunately, when Starfire turned around, so did the board, being that it was still tucked under her arm. The back end swung around and smacked the employee in the face. (And with the strength of a Tamaranian, I'm sure you can imagine that guy being knocked out for hours.)

Thanks to Starfire's knack for mall shopping, she had no trouble finding a wetsuit that fit her. Starfire found a pink and black short-sleeved wetsuit. After collecting all her items, she went over to the cashier, who looked like a fat, sleazy scumbag. "Here are all of my items, good sir," said Starfire. All the man replied with was, "Whatever." Starfire was taken aback by his rude remark, but just brushed it off. After ringing up the items, he said, "$45.75." (14 for the wetsuit rental, 31.75 for a board rental)

Starfire only had 20s, so she pulled out $60 and gave it to the guy. He took the money, opened the register and put the money inside. He closed the register and said, "Now get outta here." Starfire's eyes widened. "But, sir, I believe you are supposed to give me my change because I paid more than what I was supposed to have given you," she said. The cashier just eyed her. "And that means what to me?" he asked. Now Starfire was getting somewhat irritated, a bit of a rare for the young alien. "Excuse me, sir," she said. "I have been taught the ways of Earth money, and I am sure that when a person gives more than what he or she owes, that person should be given whatever is left over from the payment." The cashier looked at her again. "Are you done? If so, then get outta here." Now Starfire was mad. "Listen, you Clorbag!" she screamed. "I demand that you give me my change!" The cashier just snickered. "Or what? You're gonna cry?" Starfire just glared and went outside and grabbed a nearby rock, about the size of a human head. She walked back in and stopped at the cashier counter. The cashier had a puzzled look. "What are you doing with that rock?" Starfire just looked at the cashier made a mischievous smile, which made him somewhat nervous. What happened next nearly made the cashier wet himself. With very little effort, she crushed the rock with both her hands until it was nothing but a bunch of dirt in her hands. The cashier just stood there shaking. "Now, shall I try it on another object?" she asked. "Perhaps something in your tiny mall?" "Your change is coming right up!" said the cashier in a hurry. He immediately opened the register and pulled out Starfire's change. Starfire took it, grabbed her things, and walked out the door.

After reaching the beach, she changed into her wetsuit and grabbed her board. Because she had only seen what surfing was, she didn't know exactly what to do. So she decided to learn by looking at other surfers (I'm actually looked up instructions on how to surf, cuz I have no idea myself). She saw a group of surfers screaming in excitement, holding their boards above their heads, and running out to the water (saw a little cartoon doing it). "So the first thing I must do is hold my board of surfing above my head and run out to the water while screaming like an 'oh' that is weird, and Raven calls them?" she asked herself. "It seems rather odd, but if that will help me with surfing, then I guess I must do it." She took her board, held it above her head, ran, and started screaming. Everyone around her looked at her with a puzzled look, but just brushed it off. Once she got to the water, she stopped, waiting to see what the surfers did next. When she saw them lay down with their stomachs on their boards, she copied them. Then the surfers started paddling out, so Starfire went after them. She saw them stop and turn around so that the front of the board was facing towards the shore, so she stopped with them. She saw that no one was doing anything except sitting there. "Are we waiting for something?" she asked them. "We're waiting for a killer wave!" said one excited surfer. Starfire gasped. "But why would you want to wait for a wave that will kill you?" Everyone looked at her for a second then laughed. "I do not see what is so funny about that," said Starfire. Once the surfer stopped laughing, he said, "What I meant was we're waiting for a good and big wave so we could have a better time surfing." Starfire blushed from embarrassment. "Don't worry about it," said the surfer. "You're not the first person who misunderstood something like that." Just then, a big wave started to build up.

"Here it is, boys!" said the surfer. "Let's ride!" Once it was time, everyone started to stand up and ride the wave. Starfire stood up and almost fell off a few times. Once she found her balance, she found herself surfing for the first time, and she loved it. "Oh, I must show this to Robin!" she thought to herself. "I am sure he'd love to see this!" Unfortunately for Starfire, letting her mind wander off caused her to lose focus and fall into the water. When she popped her head out of the water, she looked around for her board. She saw that it had washed up on the shore. She started going towards the shore, but didn't notice another big wave forming behind her. All of a sudden, she felt her self being lifted by the wave. The next thing she knew, she landed face down on the sandy shore. She lifted her head out of the dirt and spat out the sand in her mouth. "I believe I shall 'call it a day' as the people of Earth say," she said, dazed and dizzy. When she got up, she grabbed her board and started walking. Then she saw someone run past her. That someone turned out to be Robin. "Robin?" she asked. While still running, he turned around and screamed, "FLY STAR! FLY!" Starfire had a puzzled look until she turned around and saw a big group of people running towards her. She immediately took off towards Robin as fast as she could. When she finally caught up with Robin, she picked him up and flew into the air, away from the big group. Trying to catch his breathe, Robin managed to get out, "Thanks, Star."

I'm back! For those who are a tad bit confused about that last part, look back in Ch. 22. Well, because it's been over half a year since I put in an actual chapter rather than a notice, and because I wanted to change a few things on Raven and Beast Boy's stories, I decided to make this chapter for Starfire. Just wanna give everyone my sincerest apologies for the long wait. I hope this chapters good. Review pleez!
