Just Drabbles
I've been meaning to do another one of these for so long now but everything's been done over and over. All kinds of plots. This one might not be original but I liked it so I thought I'd give it a shot.
This is for my good friend ThSamurai who kinda in a way, inspired me to write this. Hope you'll read this.
I don't own the Teen Titans.
Chapter 11: Transformation of a different sort.
Rain water that hailed from days of old seeped past the drain system thanks to slight holes that were yet to be repaired. The drops trickled down the walls, occasionally splashing onto the concrete floor below. Never once did they disturb the garage's occupants.
A pair of viridian eyes were fixed on one spot. A slight breeze of cold air whistled through the vents, ruffling the girl's locks of scarlet. She shivered, but made no movement to warm herself. She kept her hands clenched to the sides of the stool she was seated on to keep herself grounded. A swell of emotions were running through her, nervousness, excitement, anticipation yet also a twinge of fear.
The object she was staring at gleamed in the fluorescent light it was under. Its coat was a deep crimson that shined, it was so meticulously taken care of. It stood not very far off the ground. Black leather so very smooth to the touch adorned it while black rubber graced the bottom of the object. In other words, for the past half hour Starfire had been staring at Robin's R-cycle.
The door to the garage flew open yet Starfire did not flinch or avert her gaze from the R-cycle as her guest walked over to her. "Uh, Star?" Robin began. "Why are you staring so intently at the R-cycle?" She didn't respond, afraid to break the spell. He tilted his head and scratched the back of his neck. "Did…..you want to go for a ride?" Starfire made no movement to respond. Robin frowned slightly as his confusion increased. He peered closely at his best friend, suddenly noticing the childishly innocent aura that radiated from her being.
Robin thought for a moment before the reason for Starfire's odd behavior dawned on him. He laughed softly before gently placing a hand on her shoulder. "I hate to break it to you Star, even though my motorcycle is a machine, it's not going to transform into a powerful fighting robot."
Hearing the gentle sincerity of Robin's words, Starfire wilted slightly. "Oh," she murmured.
Robin inwardly sighed, remembering the previous night when he tried to dissuade Beastboy and Cyborg from renting both the movie and cartoon of Transformers on DVD knowing Starfire would take it literally. He was again proven right when Starfire whipped her head in the direction of a wailing fire alarm that was coming from the mainland.
"Sorry Star, but that's not Optimus Prime." She sighed. Knowing how deeply disappointed his friend was, Robin tried to lighten the situation. "Besides, if my R-cycle could transform, I wouldn't let Beastboy near it, even with a twenty foot pole."
Starfire tilted her head as she looked back at him. "But once transformed back into a robot, would the R-cycle not be able to protect itself from Beastboy's mischief?"
Robin grinned at her, "Touché." Starfire frowned.
"I am begging of your pardon?" She asked.
"It's a French term." Robin explained. "Back in the Middle Ages it was used for duels. Now it usually is a quicker way of saying good point."
"Must I need to learn French also?" Starfire asked worriedly.
"It's okay, Star. Anyway, there's not that much you can learn from me." He blushed as he finished his sentence, Starfire blushing as well.
Hm, no matter what I do, there's always some form of romance in these. Even if it's just a smidge.
Hopefully with some sort of luck An Unending Promise will be updated shortly. As for my other chapter stories, if I get any inspiration, I'll post.
Read and review please!
