A/N:

Hello!

I feel like these are kind of unnecessary except for a greeting since I don't have much to say beforehand. Except something like

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans (or any glow-in-the-dark stars) (yet).

On the Titan's last excursion out shopping, Beast Boy had wandered down the aisle that displayed the small amount of trinkets and toys the grocery store offered. To his immense delight, he'd found a box of plastic glow-in-the-dark stars. He somehow managed to sneak them past Robin into the cart, and once Starfire had seen them glowing on Beast Boy's ceiling she immediately set to procuring some for herself.

After she had acquired a sufficient amount of them (about six boxes), she set to work decorating her ceiling. She had been at work for about forty-five minutes when there was a knock on her door.

"Starfire?"

"Enter!" she called from her position near the ceiling. She carefully stuck a small star in place as her door swished open and Robin walked in.

"Starfire?" he asked again, looking around in confusion when he didn't see her.

"I am here!" she called, pressing another star near the first.

He craned his neck upwards to see her smile and wave at him. He returned both weakly. "Uh… what are you doing?"

"I am recreating the night sky," she replied cheerfully, continuing to hover back and forth.

Upon hearing this, Robin finally noticed the dozens of other stars scattered on the ceiling. He took a few steps back to better see the vast collection, meticulously arranged to reflect the view from the top of the Tower at night. Smiling, he continued to admire Starfire's handiwork until he looked at the cluster above her bed.

"I don't recognize these constellations," he noted, walking over and squinting up at them.

Starfire paused in her arrangement and twisted around to look at what he was talking about. After glancing at where he was looking, she smiled sheepishly. "Oh, that is because it is the view from Tamaran."

Of course she would put the view from her home above her bed, he thought to himself with an amused smile. He laid down on her bed, looking up at the stars. One piece of plastic above the end of the bed was shaped like a planet instead of a star. "Is that Tamaran?" he asked, raising his arm and pointing at it.

Starfire beamed. "Yes! But you are looking at it the wrong way."

Robin raised his head off the pillow to look at her. "The wrong- aaah!" He yelped as Starfire swooped down and grabbed his ankles, quickly spinning him 180 degrees so his head now rested at the end of the bed.

She alighted on the bed and settled next to him, her hair falling over the edge. "This is how it is meant to be viewed," she explained, staring up at the planet.

"Well now that I'm in the right place, do you mind explaining it to me?" he asked wryly.

Excitement shone on Starfire's face and she zipped off the bed so fast Robin felt the wind she generated ruffle his hair. She shut off the lights and closed her curtains before returning to her spot next to Robin, careful not to accidentally lay on him.

The pair waited in the dark for a few moments, and then the stars on the ceiling began to glow.

"Glorious," Starfire breathed next to him, entranced. Robin smiled again, though it was lost in the dark.

"So," he began, nudging her arm (which was close enough to brush his), "what's that circular one just to the right?"

"Oh!" Starfire said, snapping back to reality. "That is the Grenthor constellation; it is named after a mythical shield that is said to be unbreakable, faithfully protecting its owner as long as they posses it. Do you see the five stars nearby?"

"Yeah."

"That is supposedly the owner, Throka'r. Tamaranian legend says that he died in battle after losing his shield, but fought so valiantly to the end that X'hal herself was impressed and gave him a place among the stars."

"That's really cool," Robin commented, smiling. "So are all the stars supposed to be constellations from Tamaran?"

"No; only the ones directly visible from here are," she replied. "The rest are from Earth's night sky; the transition is here." She had flown upwards to the ceiling again to point it out to him; he could only tell where she was indicating by the silhouette of her arm against the glowing stars.

Robin pushed himself up into a sitting position, slowly rotating his head to look. True to her word, he recognized some of the patterns and constellations where she was pointing. "Did you use star charts figure that out?" he asked, trying to figure out how she did it himself.

"I have seen the change with my own eyes, so I simply recreated it," she explained.

Robin stared at her. "You did this from memory?"

She landed softly on the floor and he saw her hold her elbow shyly in the dim light. "Um, yes?"

"That's incredible, Star!" he exclaimed, scrambling off of the bed to stand next to her and gaze upwards. "But I think that constellation's a little off."

She squinted at the stars. "Which one?"

"That one over there," he said, carefully walking over to her desk and grabbing her chair. Setting it firmly underneath the constellation Orion, he hopped on top of it as Starfire flew over next to him.

"What is wrong with it?" she enquired, the dim glow illuminating their faces.

"His belt's a little askew," he replied, studying the line of stars in question.

"'Askew'?" Starfire repeated, narrowing her eyes at him and crossing her arms.

"Y'know, off," Robin clarified, looking over at her seriously.

She continued to glower at him. He held her gaze for a moment longer and then grinned suddenly. The scowl disappeared instantly from her face as she blinked in confusion.

"I'm kidding, Star," he told her, gently shoving her arm in a friendly manner. "It's perfect, you did an amazing job."

Starfire blushed and smiled. "I thank you," she said, playfully shoving him back in an attempt to copy his gesture. However, given his wiry frame and her alien strength, she accidentally sent him toppling to the floor with a yelp.

She gasped and zipped over to switch on the light, not wanting to try to land and end up hurting him more. "Robin! Are you the ok?" she asked worriedly, guilt furrowing her eyebrows as she alighted on the floor next to her sprawled friend.

Robin raised his head and looked at her for a moment, then began to laugh and let his head fall to the floor again. She watched him, bewildered, but began to giggle herself after a few seconds.

Their laughter subsided after about thirty seconds. Starfire sobered and placed her hand gingerly on Robin's shoulder. "I apologize for knocking you onto the floor," she said, looking at the floor.

Robin shook his head and smiled. "Don't worry about it. Besides, the view is better from here," he told her, folding his arms behind his head.

Starfire stared at for him, then smiled, shut off the lights again, and rejoined Robin on the floor to stargaze.

"Y'know, I don't think the Big Dipper is that big…"

"Robin!"

A/N:

So there's that. In my experience, Publix (the only place I buy food from that's mainly a grocery store unlike Wal-Mart or Target) always has this one part of an aisle with a really limited selection of school supplies and toys; like when I was little I remember they had Lisa Frank doodads or other kinda cheap toys there. I dunno if it's the same for places that don't have Publix up north, you guys have Giant Eagle or Big Bear or something (I've only been to Ohio idk), and anyone outside of the US sorry I have no idea. But yeah, that would be where one could possibly find some cool stuff like glow-in-the-dark stars. Enough grocery ramblings ahah. There will be a chapter with a kiss in it soon... very soon... (In case anyone was even wondering ahah)

Catch ya on the flip flop
