"Oh Raven!"

"Aaah!" I screamed and leaped up into the air and clutched my book to my chest, hovering above the sofa. "Oh God Starfire...it's you!" I gasped between breaths. She floated up next to me.

"I apologize Raven...did I frighten you?"

"My heart but all leapt out of my chest," I explained, still panting. I calmed myself down, "what do you want Starfire?"

"Oh! Robin has asked me on a date!"

Oh SHIT!

"Congrats," I replied, deadpanned. I wonder how long it would take to heal starbolt burns....hm...

"You must help me prepare!"

"Wha-?!"

If I HAD finished, I would've added, "-t the hell?" after, but I was too busy helping Starfire pick out an outfit.

Too bad she only had one dress that wasn't her uniform.

"Ooh...." Starfire took the dress she had worn to whatsherface's junior prom, "this just won't do...Oh Raven?" I looked up.

"Yeah?"

"Would you-?" My eyes widened.

"Oh no, oh no, on no no no no no no NO!" Starfire pouted and her lip trembled.

"Raven, please?" she whimpered, her eyes beginning to water.

"No...NO!"

"For me?" She batted her eyelashes. I rasied an eyebrow.

"Fine. But ONLY if you NEVER do that again and we only go to three dress shops." Starfire nodded eagerly.

"You are true friend Raven!" She grinned.

Four hours later.

Actually it was four hours, five minutes and thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen...you get it. Anyway, it was four hours, ten stores, about thirty-eight dresses, twenty-two pairs of shoes and five accessory packets later but that's beside the point.

Anywho...Starfire was getting restless seeing that her date was in two hours and she still had yet to find her dress.

"Too yellow, doesn't match the shoes, too much ribbon, not enough ribbon....oh Raven I cannot find anything!" Starfire turned to me. I sighed.

"Starfire...."

"Oh!" she gasped and ran past me to a lavander halter dress. It had a matching bead-embroidered wrap and came with a stunning crystal necklace.

"Oh Raven! Is is not beautiful?" she gasped, fingering the soft material.

"It is very nice Starfire," I said, checking the price tag. $537.45?! Yikes! I slowly put the price tag down.

"I shall purcahse it!" She took the dress and made a beeline to the counter. She put a finger to her lips.

"Perhaps I should try it on...." I shoved her in the general direction to where the dressing rooms were. I made sure she had closed the door before heading over to the counter.

"Ahem." The salesgirl looked up from her magazine.

"Can I help you?"

"Yeah....you know my friend in the dressing room?" She nodded. "Well she has a date tonight and REALLY likes that dress. However, that dress is seriously out of her price range so I was hoping..."

"Discount?"

"How'd you guess?" She shrugged.

"Who's the date with?" the girl asked. I looked around me and leaned in.

"Robin." She gasped.

"They are SO cute together!"

"I know right?" I stopped myself. Geez that sounded weird.... I cleared my throat. "So how far could you lower the price?"

"Well," she put her magazine down and turned to the computer, "since the Titans are basically pubic service, I can give it to you for fifty-percet off." I quickly did the math in my head.

"$268.73....still too much...anything else?" The salesgirl blushed.

"Could you get me Beast Boy's autograph?" I almost laughed.

"Pfft! If he knew someone wanted his freaking AUTOGRAPH he'd never let me hear the end of it!"

"I'll give you full sale!" she offered.

What is with all these deals?!

"How much?" She pucnhed some numbers into the computer.

"$107.49," she replied.

"Deal." At that moment, Starfire came out of the dressing room.

"Do I look pleasing?" she asked.

"Very," I answered. And it was true! She looked very....nice.

I think I'll let Robin come up with better adjectives.

A/n: Sorry about the delay and the short chapter. I had a sleepover last night and I just saw my boyfriend for the first time in three weeks (not to mention I made out with him in front of my friends but......ahem) Plus I just got the first Romeo x Juliet (best anime EVER...to me anyway) English dub DVD set so.....yeah!

So thank you for respecting that I have a life off the computer!
