Hiya everyone, it's me again with another chapter! This one I really don't know if it'll be all that good, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that. And thanks to people who review/favorite/follow this story because it shows me people enjoy it. I've rambled way too much already, so let's get on with the chapter now.

Disclaimer: I will never own Teen Titans (or Hello Kitty for that matter ((You'll see))), but I do own my OC Alex and her parents

Mr. and Mrs. Mann had slept through their daughters little scene in the morning, and awoke only a little bit later. Assuming that everything was normal, Linda Mann had gone to prepare the family a breakfast of eggs and toast, while her husband, Doug, made the two of them their usual morning coffee. It was just like every weekend, calm and quiet.

It wasn't too long for Linda to finish the meal, and Doug had brewed the drinks already. However, Alexandra hadn't come downstairs yet.

"Where is that girl?" Doug asked out loud as he took his mug and sat at the table, "She's almost always up by now."

Linda smiled warmly at him, "She needs her rest sometimes, after all, she is a teenager. We should let her sleep in." Linda took the tray carrying the food and placed it on the middle of the table.

Doug scratched his chin and agreed with his wife, seeing as Alexandra hadn't made a sound up there yet. It would only be fair if they allowed her a bit of a nap.

About an hour and a half later, Doug had begun wondering if she was still sleeping. Alexandra almost never slept past nine-forty, which her parents found strange but didn't think too much of it. The only thing keeping him from going up there was his wife constantly assuring him that she was only sleeping. But he had that thought in the back of his head that something was wrong.

When the clock struck 11:36 he had had it with this nonsense of her being asleep. He went up to her room and knocked on the door.

"Alex? It's time to wake up." He said lightly, just in case she was just waking up now.

There was no answer, so he knocked again, harder this time, "Alex sweetie? You need to get out of bed."

Once agan it was silent, and he didn't bother to knock this time. He started to turn the doorknob, "I'm coming in okay?"

He opened the door and stepped inside the room. The first thing he noticed was a big mess of items on the floor that belonged on her bedside table. It looked like it had been knocked over suddenly, seeing as it all had landed in different spots of the general area. He looked around for his daughter, but there were no signs of her being inside. Her bedsheets were messy, so she must've woken up at some time. She always made her bed, so she must not have gotten the chance. The TV on the chest that was across from her bed was also at a weird angle, but Doug didn't consider that to have made an effect on anything.

"Alex? Where are you?" He asked, looking all around. He checked inside the closet, under the bed, even in a few boxes just to be sure, but she wasn't anywhere. By now he was starting to get a bit more then scared.

"Okay Alex you got me, now where are you?" He asked, a bit more sternly. By now he didn't know what to do. What should he do? Was she missing? Did she run away? What had happened to his daughter?

"Is there a problem honey?" Linda asked, coming up the stairs to Alex's room.

He exited the bedroom with a worried expression, "Alex is missing."

Linda almost laughed, "Missing? Are you sure she's not in the bathroom?" She went down the hall to check, only the door to the bathroom was wide open, no one having been inside since yesterday, "Well, are you positive you checked everywhere in her room."

"Everywhere she could fit. No one was there though." Doug said. Alex couldn't be gone, right? She was still here, after all, why would she leave? Doug thought that Linda and him were good parents, and their house was very nice and pretty. What kid wouldn't want this life?

"Well, let's look throughout the house. If we don't find her we'll ask some of the neighbors." Linda suggested, refusing to say that her daughter had run away from home.

And two did that. Only their hope was lost each time. Alex wasn't in the house, nor had the neighbors seen her walking down the street or at least in the yard. Linda and Doug were starting to fear what was to come next. They found their only option, call the police.

Doug picked up the phone and dialed 9-1-1, waiting for an officer to pick up.

"911, what's your emergency?" A women's voice said, almost sounded robotic.

"Yes, this morning my daughter didn't come down for breakfast We waited a few hours for her to come but she didn't make a sound. I went up there about an hour ago and she wasn't there. We checked the house and asked a few neighbors if they saw her but no one has spotted anything." Doug explained, refusing to let his voice become shaky.

"Are you entirely sure you checked the whole house?" The officer asked.

"Yes. She wasn't anywhere." Doug said.

"I see. We'll send someone over there now, just hang tight." She said.

"Thank you." Doug said as he hung up. He sat at the table with Linda who already looked worried. He put his head in his hands. Both adults were thinking the same thing.

'Alex must be so scared.'

xxTTxx

Alex was not scared, in fact, she was having the time of her life with Starfire. The girls had visited plenty of shops, each getting at least one item for themselves. Starfire was happy to finally have someone to spend, 'the hanging out with' while Alex was excited to just be here. Before she considered the negativity about appearing in a cartoon and it was driving her insane, but now she was just the normal 'go with the flow' Alex. Everything was beginning to look a bit lighter already, and it hadn't even been an entire day yet.

By now Alex had put on her first selected outfit, so people weren't staring at her thinking, 'Why is a girl at the mall wearing pajamas?' Of course she didn't really care what they were thinking at first, but now she kinda fit in now. Starfire had been showing just about every store in the mall. The Tamaranian had taken her new human friend to about all the shops, even the cute little Hello Kitty Boutique for 7 year olds. Although Alex dragged Star away from it, even she had to admit that some of the toys were kind of adorable. By the time the two girls walked out of the mall, they were giggling their heads off and while Alex only had about four bag of clothes, Star was carrying many, many more.

'Well this has been fun.' She thought, as Star had started to fly them both to the Titans Tower.
