*AN: Nothing really to say, the next chapter though, things will go Raven's way a little. :D Enjoy!*
Thinking about my options on what I should do, Starfire waiting, watching me intently with a smile on her face.
I was thinking about what I should say, what would be best said, to tell her no as nicely as possible, but every time I opened my mouth to reject her, her smile got bigger, causing me to close mine again. I sighed, closing my eyes. You can't say no to her, you made a promise! Happy said.
"Actually, no she didn't."
"Knowledge, shut up!" Happy said.
"You shut up, Happy! No one wants to hear you yell all the time like you do!"
"BOTH OF YOU! SHUT UP!" I yelled outside of my mind, opening my eyes.
"Friend?" Starfire said. I looked up and saw her attached to the ceiling. Blushing a little, I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Sorry Star," I said as she came down. "we can go to the mall together, just let me get dressed." I said.
Starfire smiled brightly. Her eyes sparkled and shone. "Thank you very much Raven, I shall get dress as well!" She floated away down the hall. I smiled slightly and walked into my room.
I walked into the living room, Starfire was on the couch, and (with no surprise), Robin was working his way to put his arm around her. I smiled weakly, but it faded quickly after and I walked forward, reached out my hand and touched Starfire's shoulder.
"Eeek!" She shrieked and leapt into Robin's lap where he happily held her. "I am most sorry, but you did the freaking me out." I held in my smirk at her choice of wording.
It had been a full minute of awkwardness because Star still stayed in Robin's lap. Happy was laughing her head off, and Knowledge was smirking. "So are you ready to go?" I asked. Robin blushed and Starfire smiled, floated up and over the couch, and leaded beside me, making me turn all the way around to the door, Starfire did the same.
"So, friend, do you like my clothing?" I looked at her. For what she was like, and how she looked, the outfit did look really good on her.
She was wearing white short shorts, but it didn't surprise me because it was the same s her skirt. She had a short sleeve shirt that was bright pink with a yellow smiley face in the middle. To finish her look, she had white flip flops on.
"Yeah, it looks nice on you, Star." I complimented.
"Thank you, Raven. I like your clothings too!" I didn't know if you really did, or if she simply was being nice. I wore gray skinny jeans with black boots that had spikes around the ankles. And for my shirt, it was just a plain gray tee, long sleeves, and a black short sleeved jacket.
Cybrog had not only made a ring that would make him look full human, but he had made one for Starfire, Beast Boy, and I too, just in case. So because of that, my hair was black, Charka gone, eyes dark brown, and finally skin was pale white instead of gray. [AN: I know that it's a little outta character for her, but hey, what can I say? She's trying to do this for Starfire, not make Star feel like she wanted to stay home. (But she did.) [SHUT UP!] And she got the clothes from Star herself, so there, questions answered.]
"Thanks Star." I said, and we walked out the door to the mall.
Down at the mall, Star kept babbling on about shoes and something. I tried to keep up. Soon, I was able to, then I got interested, then I started to smile, go bubbly, and then I was pushed over the edge; Happy was out, and there was no stopping her.
"So should I get the white pumps, or the silver flats?"
"Well, what are you going to wear with it?"
"I'm not for sure." She said.
I grabbed her wrist and pulled us out of the store. "C'mon Kori, let's get some cloths first, then we can pick out our shoe's and makeup and then-"
"Raven! I have never heard you so happy about shopping before!" She said as we entered the store.
"But I am, so come on!"
"Though, friend, will you take part in the changing of the clothing with me?"
"Well of course, but you go to help me pick out my clothes." Starfire's eyes shone, and I couldn't help but smile.
And I had a feeling that I was going to regret this, but I ignored it the best I could
Starfire grabbed my wrist, and we were flying around the room, zipping past people, causing their hair too swoosh to the right or left, depending on the direction we were going.
Soon, Star had a bunch of different clothes in her arms, and shoved some into my hands. I looked at the clothes and shook my head. She hung her head, and I walked into the dressing room.
When I walked out, Starfire shook her head as soon as she saw me. I was wearing a pink plaid skirt with different shades of pink and a green stripe(s). Then I had a white shirt with a green tie, *AN: I love ties. *Their AWESOME!, but I don't like pink ties.* and a hot pink jacket, so I was glad that she agreed with me that I wasn't my style.
So with lightening speed, she put those clothes back and starting to pick out different ones. I changed out of uniform, and waited for Star to throw another pair over the door. She did just then.
I had to give her a thumbs up, still wasn't my taste, but it was closer.
I walked out, feeling pretty good about this outfit, at least better than the last. I t was a dark read skirt that had black chains on its many different pockets. My shirt was plain black, with yep, a red tie.
Starfire looked thoughtful about my outfit. "Friend, I am unsure o these clothings together." I smiled.
"Don't worry Star, we just need," I walked over to the racks and picked a different skirt and tie. "this!"
After I had come back out of the dressing room, I had on the same thing, but with the colors dark blue and black. Starfire looked at me. She nodded her head happily. "Yes, friend, I enjoy this look for you!" She said.
"Thanks Star, but no it's your turn." She squealed and went straight to the dressing room, no giving me a chance to change into my clothes.
I walked to the rack and reached for different shirts. I picked a long sleeved (only to her elbows, and kinda hung off the back), and V-necked shaped and purple. Then I looked for different shorts and skirts, and was about to give up when I saw a white skirt that looked like it would go to her knees, but I didn't know for sure. All I knew was it was perfect with the shirt, and those colors looked good with Starfire.
I hung the clothes over the door, and they were pulled down before I could let go.
Walking through the store again, someone tapped me on the shoulder. Hoping it was Star, and screaming in my mind 'DON'T BE TERRA! DON'T BE TERRA!' I turned around.
"Um, are you going to pay for that?" An old lady asked.
"Yeah, but I'm still shopping."
"Friend!" I looked over to Star and ending the conversation by doing so. "I look okay, yes?"
"You look great Star, but I was thinking," I said and brought a shirt out from behind my back. "that this would look better with that skirt." I gave her a pink shirt that went down her arms all the way, and a straight, Starfire squealed at the sight and dashed into the dressing room, she was out before I could blink.
"You look wonderful, Kori, you really Do."
"Thank you friend!" She said excitedly. "Let us go and find shoe's for these clothings." I nodded.
We went in and quickly out of the shoe store; it wasn't that hard to find a pair. Starfire said that we should go to pick out jewelry, and with help from Happy, I was thrilled at the idea.
When we were in the store, Starfire was looking at earrings, but she looked more curious than interested. "Whatcha doin' there Kori?"
"Dearest friend Rachel, what are these weird things?" She traced her finger as she said. "Rings of ears, correct?"
I kinda chuckled. "Yeah, Kori, earrings, you put them in her ears." She looked confused. Glancing at her ears, I realized that she didn't have her ears pierced.
I picked up a random set of earrings, and placed one in my ear. "Like this." Star felt her ear.
"I am afraid I cannot. Have such things," She looked sad. Then, I explained.
10 to 15 minutes later
"I am most pleased to have the piercing of the ears!"
Shortly after Star got her ears pierced we decided to go on home.
When we were home, the boys turned and looked at us. "You guys were gone long." Robin said.
"Robin! Look! Raven showed me the piercing of the ears! IS it not pretty?" Starfire showed him the small pink stud in her ear.
"Earrings?" Beast Boy said. "I didn't know Raven wore earrings." I rolled my eyes at his comment.
"Hey ya'll! Let's call 911, Raven's got earrings!" Cybrog pitched in with the teasing.
"Come on guys, stop." Robin said, I thanked him in my head. Starfire continued on about her earring, Cybrog continued his game, and I had lost sight of Beast Boy completely.
Just then, the room flashed red, and we all turned towards the T.V.
"It's X again, somehow, let's go." Robin mumbled the 'somehow' part. "Where's Beast Boy at?" He continued.
"What's up?" I turned and screamed; Beat Boy was right behind me.
"What the hell?" I demanded. He started laughing, I glared, and Robin cleared his throat.
"We were leaving." I nodded and Beast Boy just gasped out an okay.
FINISHED! YAY! Pieces, and lateness!
