I was getting kind of bored with All for Nothing, so I've started writing this story. It's short and I should be in the mood to write more of AFN when this is over, so consider this a way of passing my time. I hope you enjoy it, though.
_______________________________________________
It’s a Date
A pair of tawny hands slipped a purple boot over her polished toenails and up her leg. Standing up, she brushed her bright red hair out of her face revealing her large green eyes. Walking toward her bedroom door, she straightened her purple miniskirt and tugged at her silver gloves.
The door opened with a soft “whoosh” and she stepped into the dark hallway. Her hands shook slightly with a combination of nerves and anticipation. She was sure that it was customary for the other gender to ask the question she was thinking of asking, but it didn’t really matter as long as she got what she so desperately wanted.
She walked into a large circular room which seemed like a kitchen and living room combined into one. She stepped down the stairs and past a counter where a girl in a purple cloak sat, reading a large leather bound book. She peered over the top of her book. “Starfire,” she asked, “where have you been for the past twenty minutes?”
“I have been…preparing,” replied Starfire quietly, quite uncharacteristic of her usual boisterous self. In typical Raven fashion, she decided not to press the subject and went back to reading her book.
Continuing toward the living area, Starfire looked around for the person she most wanted to talk to at the time. She stopped at the black couch where two boys sat playing videogames. “I’m sorry,” she said, “but have either of you seen Robin?”
A boy with green skin jerked his thumb to his left toward a boy with headphones. “Robin,” she thought to herself. Without so much as a word, she started toward him.
“A ‘thank you’ would be nice,” complained the green boy from the couch.
“Oh,” said Starfire, jumping slightly. “I’m sorry. Thank you Beast Boy.” The boy next to Beast Boy turned his partially metallic head slightly toward her. He found it strange that the usual giggle wasn’t in Starfire's voice, but was distracted by his car crossing the finish line.
“Boo yah!!” he shouted triumphantly.
“No fair,” shouted Beast Boy, leaping out of his seat, “I was distracted.”
Tuning this out, Starfire started slowly walked toward Robin. “Robin,” she shouted so that he could hear her over his music. He pulled the headphones off and his spiky black hair sprang back into place.
“Need something, Star?” he asked, tilting his head slightly to the left.
“Um, yes actually,” she asked quietly.
“You okay,” asked Robin with concern, “You seem kind of subdued?”
“Oh no, Robin,” said Starfire, giggling. “Nothing is wrong; I just need to ask you a question.”
“Sure Starfire,” he said, “You know you can ask me anything.”
“Well, I was won-” A blaring horn caused her to break off in mid-sentence. Robin’s head angled toward a flashing red light on the ceiling.
“Trouble,” he shouted to his friends. “Teen Titans, GO!” Everyone ran to the door except for Starfire. She just stood there in disappointment.
“Timing…” she said, shaking her head and she flew after her friends to do their daily job.

There. I'm actually proud of that piece.:D

That was really good. I like it when timing is all off. I find it slightly funny to see how the people react. Can't wait too see what happens and what Robin will say.
And as an afterthought First POST!! :D

Thanks Aquagirl. I appreciate your input.
You know, I just watched Beast Within today, and it reminded me that I think Robin needs to get the crap kicked out of him.

Great start!:anime:
I like some of the words you used in it, and the dialogue (however you spell that word) is really good.
Did I ever tell you that cliffhangers annoy me?
Well now you know.

Why is it that I always reply after everybody else does, and after all the good comments have been taken? :mad: :p
I agree with Nightmare and Aquagirl, because they're comments would have been the same as mine. :D The timing was off for Star, but all the better for the story. I bet the villian is gonna be beat up by Starfire for interupting her "proposal".
And yeah, Robin does need to get the crap kicked out of him, but I also find it pathetic that the Titans can't work without him as their leader (Revolution and is also shown in Titans East II, when Cy's directing).

I like it, I find stuff like this quite funny so I look forward to the next part thingy. :D I give this chapter a SHEPHERDS PIE Rating of.............. 8 :anime: :anime: . ROCK ON DUDE!
This was great
I'm in the mood for some sort of light hearted comedy for a change.
I still hate Starfire though.:p

---------------------------------------
Chapter 2
Another car flew through the air and was shot to pieces by a blue energy beam “Doesn’t this guy EVER take a vacation!?” shouted Cyborg over the crash.
Of all the criminals who could have attacked, it had to be the dumbest and most dim-witted. Starfire was exceedingly angry at Cinderblock’s tenacity. “I do not know,” she said loudly, “but he shall be taking an extended one after this battle.” She hurtled toward Cinderblock like lightning, drawing her fist back as far as she could.
As she reached him, she flung her arm forward with all her strength. Her fist connected with his hard face, and a resounding crack could be heard. Cinderblock stumbled back a couple of yards, but remained on his feet. As Starfire closed in for another strike, Cinderblock reached his arms out and caught her. He began squeezing.
Starfire tried to kick out, but he held her at a safe distance from his body. The other Titans started blasting Cinderblock, but he didn’t even seem to notice. He began to squeeze harder. Starfire was in intense pain, as she could feel her ribs and arms cracking under Cinderblock’s firm grip. She screamed in agony as she felt her left arm snap.
With a menacing battle cry, Robin leapt toward Cinderblock and hit him with a couple of exploding disks. This caused Cinderblock to involuntarily release Starfire and she plummeted toward the ground. In too much pain to fly it seemed that impact was inevitable. However, moments before she slammed into the ground, Cyborg came flying out of nowhere and snatched her out of midair.
Starfire writhed in his arms as he ran from the battle to get her to a safe distance. He gently placed her on the sidewalk about 500 yards from the battle. “Star,” he said, “can you hear me?” She nodded slightly as a tear streamed down her face.
It was at this time that Cinderblock was felled by a green ram. The other Titans ran over to where Starfire lay. “Is she all right?” asked Robin concernedly.
“She’s in a lot of pain,” said Cyborg. “I have some painkillers in the infirmary. We have to get back to the tower quickly.”
“I’ll take care of Cinderblock,” said Raven, “You guys go take care of Starfire.” Cyborg scooped her up again and ran to the T-Car.

Wow. I even amaze myself sometimes. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have homework to do. And listen to Goo Goo Dolls. "Give a little bit. Give a little bit of your love to me..."

That was very satifing. I liked the description you put in. Now we can all wonder what's going to happen to Star. Sounds like she'll be hurt for awhile. It could be a good thing or bad as i see it. Less time fighting more time to figure out what she's going to say. Lovin it DJ! :D

now that was a cliffhanger but still good. ...i thought Robin was going to get beat up? oh well, poor poor starfire

Robin doesn't deserve the attention.

03-13-2005, 03:06 PM
but diddnt you say that he was gonna get beat up?
rrarbecy
03-13-2005, 03:08 PM
No, I said that he NEEDED to get beat up. I never said that I was going to do it.
starfire0639
03-13-2005, 03:17 PM
.....I have a feeling Its mostly based on Starfire....So anywho I like it whether it be Star getting beat up or Robin,cus it's your writing-smile-

NightMare thinks that I'm the master of dialogue? Cool. Thanks for that.
I don't understand. How is that a cliffhanger? How was the end of the first chapter a cliffhanger?
rrarbecy
03-13-2005, 05:20 PM
I wasn't going to do this, but I really wanted to pound out another chapter. So, here it is.
---------------------------------------
Chapter 3
The door swished open and a metallic teenager ran into the room. He laid the girl in his arms down on a bed where she started squirming slightly. As he ran to a cabinet on the far wall, a green boy and a spiky haired kid came in. The kid with the hair sat walked over to the bed and proceeded to pull the girl’s boots off. “Robin, why are you doing that,” asked the green boy.
“Starfire’s in pain as it is, Beast Boy,” said Robin heatedly. The least I can do is make her comfortable. As he finished saying this, the metal man came back to the table holding a syringe. “What’s in there, Cyborg?” asked Beast Boy.
“Demerol,” said Cyborg. “It’s a painkiller.” He pulled Starfire's right glove down a bit and stuck the needle in the crook of her arm. As the fluid emptied from the syringe, Starfire stopped writhing.
“There,” he said, “now hopefully Raven can-”
“I’ll be able to heal her,” interrupted a monotonous voice from the hallway. Raven stepped into the room and the shadows slipped off her. “What’s the diagnosis?”
“Well,” said Cyborg, peering at a screen on his arm, “my sensors tell me that it’s pretty bad. She has 12 cracked ribs and the rest are bruised. The bone in her left arm was snapped clean in half and there’s a minor fracture in her right arm.” Beast Boy winced at this. “What can you do, Rae,” asked Cyborg.
“I can fix the cracked ribs and arm completely,” she said resignedly. “I can also reduce the broken arm to a minor fracture, but I can’t do anything for the bruised ribs.”
“Well, do what you can,” said Robin. He didn’t show it, but seeing his friend injured like this was almost more than he could bear. Raven walked over to Starfire and placed her hands just below her chest. She closed her eyes and powder blue light emanated from her hands. After a second, she moved her hands over Starfire's left and right arm respectively. She straightened back up and relaxed her shoulders.
“There,” she said, “that’s the best I can do.”
“Okay,” said Cyborg, “none of you can help any more, so go get something to eat, or something. I’ll put a cast on her arm.” Raven and Beast Boy turned to go, but Robin stayed where he was.
“What are you still doing here?” asked Cyborg.
“I’m not leaving,” he said firmly. Cyborg was about to protest, but he could see the deep sadness and concern in his friend’s face. Sighing, he turned back to his cabinet.
“He really cares for her,” he thought to himself. “Maybe this incident’ll get him to finally tell her how he feels.” Looking back, he saw Robin squeezing Starfire's right hand, his head facing his feet. Although Cyborg couldn’t see them, there were tears clouding his mask.
----------------------------------------------------
In case you couldn't tell, I hate Robin. Because of this, I'm making him more sensitive in this story. Mr. Stoic is really boring.

Okay, I must now go punish myself for taking so long to read this.
[smacks head into desk]
Anyway, you're a genuis, and this is a brilliant idea. 'Nuff said.:p
Oh, and it's nice to see a Starfire-based fic: there aren't that many of those round these parts. I'm also a bit more positive towards Robin than you are, but I do agree that he's in urgent need of a butt-kicking, if only to bring down to Earth a bit more.
Ta,

03-13-2005, 07:18 PM
I'm satisfied. I watched(and taped) "Haunted" today, and was glad to see Robin get his butt kicked. Ahhhhhhhhh, that was great(although he STILL managed to be annoyingly one-dimensional).
Oh, and just to point out. When you point a finger at someone, only three are facing you. You'd have to work pretty hard to get your thumb to point at yourself while you're doing that.
Now I just need to get Ghost, LW, and possibly Keith to read this. TO THE USER CP!!!!!!!

03-13-2005, 07:57 PM
I've been watching this from the start, but have yet to comment. What with all the essays that have caught up with me...
Anywhoo, great work, 'becy. A great start, and...well, everything's pretty damn good, I'll be honest with you. No major probelms have appeared, so not much I can critique on. One minor gripe (just a personal preference) but i would guess these little 'snippets' are part of a single chapter, seeing as none of them have chapter numbers at the top? Well, the frequent updates are ok, but personally I'd prefer one, longer update. That way, you'd end up with something that was full chapter length all in one post, which would be great! personally, I love the feeling of posting a chapter in it's entirety in one post, and thinking "yeah, this is good stuff." But that's just me, this way works too.
Ok, laters, I expect more of this quality from you.

Actually, they are all different chapters. I figured that, since I wasn't going to name them, I wouldn't mark them either. Oh well. I'll go back and change.
Crowgirl
03-13-2005, 09:12 PM
Okay, I'm gone for, what, four hours? And when I get back, there are not one, but two new chapters up. I need to watch this forum 24/7, hmm?
Ah well, I think it's exactly what we would expect from you DJ, so I'm not dissapointed. I like how you have Starfire hurt, and having Robin stay with her. Aww.... :)
Give A Little Bit... I was watching a movie today and that song was in it, I swear. It's okie-dokie.
As for Haunted, I was watching that too and I remembered what Ghost said about the circus scene in there. Maybe he was right.... :shrug:
Ah well, can't wait for more!

Hey Robin being all sentimental is ok with me. It actually causes the story to flow better from my point of view. I like it a lot. But I hope that you write more for All For Nothing soon too, cause I want to see what happens next.
rrarbecy
03-13-2005, 10:02 PM
When I'm interested again, you'll get more of AFN. I promise you that.
Yeah, Give a Little Bit is pretty good, but Black Balloon is still the best Goo song.
Sorry, i would have reviewed this sooner but i keep going away at weekends without a computer!
Anyway, most of the comments have been said so i'll just say that this is getting good. The only slight problem i see is that the story's moving quite fast, but maybe that's my personal opinion!

ShadowOfAGhost
03-14-2005, 06:27 PM
you asked, so here I am! I've been real busy the last weekend so I didn't get to post on here much.
In short, this is starting to look very good! You seem to be typing a lot faster, so next time you type something up, try to be contiously aware of how fast you press the Keys.
My only gripe is medical related, and I could go into detail, but that would just bore all of you and what not.... which is precisely why I'm going to do it! :evil:
When someone breaks their arm, you do not want to move them immediatly! this will only cause IMMENSE pain and will make the injury FAR WORSE!!! at the least you have to splint it. You do this by taking two thin, yet strong items (like a 2x4) about the size of the apendage and place one on either side of (in this case) the arm. tie these two together tightly.
cracked ribs and fractures are much like what I described above, but ribs are far harder to stabalize, yet critically more important. If a rib is broken at the wrong angle, it could puncture a lung, or some other critical organ. Moving a person imediatly puts them at a far greater risk for this to occur.
Did she break her upper or lower arm? if she was able to hold Robin's hand, then it must have been her upper arm because the radius and the ulna (the two bones that form the lower arm) are connected to the wrist, and thus any hand movment would further irritate even a fracture in the lower arm.
Wouldn't Starfire be afraid of needles? And since when do the Titans have direct and immediate access to heavily regulated Rx drugs?
but these are all minor gripes, and I just posted that to show off and to possibly teach somebody something about some first aid. This is starting out to be very good and I hope the rest of it will continue to be just as good!
rrarbecy
03-14-2005, 10:39 PM
1. Yeah, well would you rather be in immense pain and out of harm's way, or crushed flat by Cinderblock? I would hope it would be the former. And plus, we don't have in-house healers now, do we?
2. Same reason as above
3. I didn't say that she was squeezing his hand, I said that he was squeezing her hand. Which, by the way, is not the one that was broken in half.
4. I had to give them the medicine somehow! And why would Star be afraid of needles?

I think I'll read more later.
However, you really need to work on some of your grammar. It's not really a big deal, but...could you put question marks after questions...?
That'd be nice. It's kinda weird to read questions without question marks, ya know?

Chapter 4
Prying himself away from Starfire's bedside was a chore for Robin, but he had to so Cyborg could do his work. He couldn’t believe that he had let Cinderblock put Starfire in the condition she was in. As far as he was concerned, it was his fault. “If I just could have hit him in the arm,” he thought, “then I could have spared Starfire this pain.”
For some reason, kicking himself in the head was always the way Robin would cope with any of his teammates getting injured. This seemed to be particularly evident when it came to Starfire.
The other Titans all knew that he harbored strong feelings for the alien, except maybe Starfire herself. This uncertainty, coupled with his reluctance to engage in a serious relationship, had thus far prevented him from speaking his mind. For him, expressing his feelings was more terrifying than all the psychotic criminals he had fought with put together.
After watching Starfire nearly crushed in her enemy’s hands, he was afraid that he’d never get a chance to tell her how he felt. He thought that having those feelings bottled up inside while there was still a chance of telling, would be nothing compared to the pain of losing the chance forever. He didn’t think he could live through that.
_____________________________________________________
Next morning…
Cyborg looked up from his plate of waffles and a smile broke across his face. “Starfire? How’re you feeling?”
Starfire pushed herself up on the bed slightly with her right arm and winced in pain. “Horrible,” she said, holding her ribs.
“That’s to be expected,” said Cyborg, glancing at the bandages wrapped tightly around her torso. “We’ll need to keep you like this for a while, but you’ll live.”
“It does not feel that way,” she said quietly. Cyborg laughed to himself slightly.
“You hungry?” he asked.
“Starved.”
“Waffles?”
“That would be nice. By the way, how did we do against Cinderblock?”
“Oh, he’s done. Beast Boy got ‘im good.”
“Beast Boy?” asked Starfire, a bit of disappointment in her voice.
“Who were you expecting?” asked Cyborg, although he already knew that answer. He smiled again as he turned back toward the door. He paused for a moment and turned back. “He hardly left your side, ya know?”
Starfire smiled serenely.

I had to do something for Jessica Lunsford, the 9-year-old who has been missing. They found her body today, and I'd feel remiss as a person if I didn't do something to dedicate to her. So I tweaked the song August 7, 4:15 by Jon Bon Jovi to tell her story. Rest in peace Jessica.
--------------------------------------
It was another day
A perfect Florida afternoon
A mother and father and child play
The way they always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and father
Against a little girl of 9 years old
The independent one
The deputies went door to door
Through all the neighborhood
They said I got some news to tell you folks
I'm afraid it ain't so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away
Someone got the answers for what happened here today
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream - March 19, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
March 19, 4:15
Now the people from the papers and the local TV news
Tried to find the reason
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted "Hit and Run"
The coroner cried "Foul"
Her blue dress was what she wore
The day they laid her body down
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream - March 19, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
March 19, 4:15
I know tonight that there's an angel
Up on Heaven's highest hill
And no one there can hurt you baby
No one ever will
Somewhere someone's conscience is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you
How you gonna sleep again
Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream - March 19, 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
March 19, 4:15

It’s at times like this that I really pity the world; such deplorable acts of inhumanity, violence and anger, it’s surprising that the entire population of the world isn’t shaking with fear. I suppose, in a way, the six billion people on this planet are living in fear. Days like today, I wish I could do more. On my travels around our so-called ‘civilised’ world, I have heard of many disgusting things. Sometimes I am ashamed to call myself a member of the human race. How can anyone have the capacity for such terrible deeds?
Hit-and-runs, murders, abduction, rape, wars, car-bombings…the list goes on. Each terrible deed leads the entire culture of our world further into a mire of despair and anxiety. As I drove home through some nameless town in England today, on my way home from ten weeks away at university, I listened to the radio. Everyday the same thing: government officials arguing over policies, tax increases or fluctuations in the price of such trivial commodities as fuel: but the last news story I heard was that of three policemen being killed by a suicide bomber.
They had been carrying their colleague’s coffin: he had died trying to protect people when a suspicious parcel had been found, containing a bomb. As they carried his corpse in a solemn march to his final resting place, some madman strapped to explosives ran at them, detonating his deadly cargo: the three men died, honouring the memory of their friend. Days like these I want to cry; cry because of all the pain and suffering in the world, cry at the heartless men who could attack a funeral; cry through sheer pity for those men who have lost any sign of love or kindness in their soles, and insist on creating problems and hurt for anyone and everyone around them. I wondered how anyone could show so little respect, so little remorse, that they could attack a funeral. That makes me sad.
But today, again, I heard another story that once more made me feel despair at being a part of this race: a young girl, no older than nine years old, abducted from her own home. I felt pain in my own soul as I could only imagine the torment the parents of this young girl must feel, wondering where she is, wondering if she is still alive, wondering who could have taken her. It hurt me more to find out that she had actually gone missing ten days ago, and she was confirmed dead today. I find this to be incredibly horrible. I feel helpless.
Words cannot express how sometimes these acts of depravity from certain people or groups of people make me feel immense hatred, then remorse as I realise perhaps hatred and anger is what drives such men to do terrible acts. I feel pity for them that they cannot find any other way to express themselves: acts of violence are all they can do, all they now how to do.
At university, I didn’t hear so much about this kind of thing: perhaps through the lack of television, perhaps due to my tendency to listen to a cd rather than the radio, perhaps because I only buy campus newspapers rather than national ones. But at the moment, I want to retreat into such ignorance of the world, as I realise that it is a much harsher place than it first appears: from space, we are a majestic blue and green ball, floating through the void with a certain grace. However, delve in towards the surface of the world, and you can witness the pain and anguish that thousands experience daily through some tragedy or another.
Today, I realised how small a word ‘conscience’ really is. It’s that thing in us all that keeps us on the straight and narrow, keeps us from stealing, hurting, doing bad things. But I realise that some men, or women, don’t have a conscience: they seem to have lost it at some point, never to regain true humanity as they continually destroy the people of the world. Today, I realised that humanity’s conscience is failing. And I can’t do anything about it, but write. Perhaps, some day, I may be able to write some moving speech or article that will make masses of people want to act, to stop all pain: this is unlikely, but a hope of mine nonetheless. But for now, I shall write.
To everyone in the world in pain and suffering: my sympathies are with you.

03-19-2005, 06:22 PM
Days like this, I DO cry. I cry for everyone who is hurt by deeds like this. I cry for the victims. I cry for the families. I cry for the friends. Knowing that our world has gone so far down the drain that people resort to unforgivable crimes to get their kicks and to get points across makes me think that the human race should be wiped out and started all over again. If this is how the human race acts then I'm ashamed to be called a human being. I'm ashamed to be associated even in the slightest manner with monsters like that. Nobody deserves to be destroyed for no reason at all. Nobody deserves that, but it still happens every day. It makes me want to just wish all this hurt and pain away. To wish away all that destroys people's lives. To just open my eyes and wake up from this nightmare we call the world.

Forgive me if I sound harsh, but in all honesty, I ... I don't know what to say about that last comment RoA! We're talking about just how seriously F****d up this world and this society is and the despicable act of a man who kidnapped and murdered a little girl, and you pop in and go crazy like it's no big thing! Deplorable...
I don't wan't you to feel bad, but at least have the decency to show some respect for the dead girl.
Perhaps, some day, I may be able to write some moving speech or article that will make masses of people want to act, to stop all pain: this is unlikely, but a hope of mine nonetheless.You just did. I assure you, you just did.
The only comfort that I know I can offer is that chances are high that the guy who did this to this girl will most likely be either stabbed or beatten to death in prison. Even when in solitary confinment from the rest of the prisoners, once word gets out you harmed a child, you become a marked man. You are marked with your own blood. I would honestly be surprised if this guy survives a full year.
I eagerly await the last judgement.

Today is the day i feel like letting all the pain out b/c another innocent child was held victim to someones hands. Why does our world, our only world, have to bear witness to our brutle actions? I always wonder if the ground and sky could speak...do you know how many crimes, murders, shot-outs, and endless violence would be told? Too many to count...No-one desrves to live in a world like ours, but what's ironic about that is we made it that way...I've learned after all these years of hearing about crimes like these is to hold it all in, I just quit crying and i keep it to myself, but that doesn't mean i won't tear myself apart on the inside...I keep my hopes up that one day, just one day the world will stop and people will finally relieze what they do, what they have done, and what they could have done to stop it all...Give her my prayers and I hope Jessica rests in peace, and i pray that her murderer is found, if he isn't already...God give us all hope, we need it more than ever

I feel so bad for all the families who loose their kids to cruel people. It's just not right. But what gives me hope is the feeling that there are a lot more good people in this world than bad. That may not be true, but we can always hope. Pookey is right, we made our world this way and this isn't what God wanted. Not too long ago things like this never happened and it's sad to see how more people are getting killed. Yes, we all want Jessica to rest in peace.

Why is that people always think that our own times are the worst? All this stuff that you guys have been going on about, that the world is rubbish and we should just start over, has been bugging me more than a little. Just take a quick look around you and think about all the crimes today that didn't happen: some didn't happen because the perpetrators were afraid of being punished for them, but most didn't happen simply because not everyone is an arse. We all have the capacity to be both good and evil - only in as much as those two labels are relevant, anyway - but our good side always seems to be ignored by those around us. We can be nice people, and we are all nice people more often than we aren't, but no one ever seems to notice. It's a simple law of nature that destruction is easier than construction, that doing wrong is easier than doing right, and sadly that rule also applies to our own attitudes to the acts of destruction that we see. I'm not saying that the bad things that you're all talking about are irrelevant, because they're not, but we can't let them overshadow the one simple fact that there are always more good acts being carried out than bad acts. So, yeah, we can grieve for young Jessica and wish unspeakable evils on her killer - which is a dumb idea in and of itself - as much as we feel necessary, but going from there to saying that our world is a dump, no one should be living on it and worst of all it's all our fault is a little bloody short-sighted. There is a lot of beauty around us, of which we created more than some, so the sooner we get out there and start enjoying the good things that we have, the sooner the bad things will start to fade away: not dissappear, that'll sadly never happen, but maybe things won't get us down quite so much.
Then again, maybe I'm just being a little nieve about all this.

WM has a point...but i can see why we think negitivly..when you say/do something wrong but then say/do something good many times over, the bad stands out more then the good...did that make sense?...Anyway, im glad the killer was caught and i hope he gets the aporprite punishment...
i know you like spam, but just in case the mods are watching this...Great fic!! Love it!

P.S. I too, would make a large piece about the Jessica ordeal, but I don't want to stir something up. The thing is, in MA, there's stuff like this all the time. A murder on the news at least every other day. It's sickening.

Awwwwww. That's so cute. I am an evil person. I broke up with my boyfriend. Things weren't working out for me. Though they were for him. He just would look at me the whole time and say nothing. My question was, "What's there to look at?"

I'm sorry things weren't working out. Do you want to know when a guy's too stupid to go out with?
He leaves a message on your family's answering machine -while you're at the eye doctor- that says "Hi, I know you're really there, so don't bother lying. Call me."

Same here!:anime: :anime: :anime: :anime: :anime:
Luckily for me, my parents believe that a mistake is always its own punishment, so I always get to avoid grounding or whatever. Strangely enough, my parents also believe that I should only have cash if I earn it myself, which means that I've never recieved a single penny of pocket money in my life. But still, I see their point, and having your money be entirely your own does make you a bit more controlled over what you spend it on...most of the time.:sad:

This is where the IM conversations come in handy...
-clears throat- -Nature Program voice-
Me neither.....geuss cus I'm so lovable that my mother can't look me in the eye and punish me :D .Here she is saying that she doesnt get grounded. She believes that this is due to the fact that she is too loveable, thus her mother cant look her directly in the eyes and remain angry enough to want to ground her. Like trying to stay angry at a sad puppy.
Or maybe its just cus I don't get my butt in trouble like you two do!Here she is "Ripping" on you because she is claiming to be perfectly well behaved. From speaking with her though, I can tell you for a fact that this is false. Instead, she's good at covering it up.
Ugh........kids not behavin...tsk tsk.Here she is trying to be "Mature" by pretending to be older then you.
Anywho why you say oy.....its Oiy Becy...or in other words Oiy vey meaning oh lord in regular language....yetish go figure.I'm lost on this one. All I can say, is that maybee all that day dreaming over rrarbecy has interfered with her rational thought.... probably.
Anyway wheres that chapter ya promised us???lol
Here she is begining to wonder if he will deliver on his promise for a new chapter soon. The letters "lol" inform us that she is in fact, joking with the author.

New chapter. Short? Extremely. Good? Hopefully. Satisfying? I'd like to think so.
----------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5
As Starfire was not from Earth, one of the differences between her and humans is her healing. Her injuries, which would have normally taken an extremely long time to heal, had come along nicely in the past five days. Her fractured arm and bruised ribs were nearly completely healed and Starfire was finally able to get out of bed.
Robin, who had sneaked to her bedside every night, was overjoyed that she was feeling so much better. After his contemplation on the first night, he had decided that, as soon as she was well enough, he would tell her his feelings before he lost the chance for real. Oh, what he wouldn’t give to be Starfire. She expressed her feelings spontaneously and without trouble or embarrassment. If only he had her state of mind. If she felt about him the way he felt about her, then she would tell him without a thought.
A thought suddenly struck Robin. What if Starfire did have those feelings for him? What if she would ask him the exact same question he wanted to ask her? What a dream scenario. Farfetched, but a dream scenario.
________________________________________
Elsewhere
Starfire gingerly pushed the blankets off her and got to her feet. She really hated putting her shoes on with only one hand, but at least she didn’t have to tie them as she had seen others do. She straightened her skirt and exited her room, turning toward the living room.
Starfire was lonely. Yes, she had seen her friends right before bed, but the reduced time she got to spend with them during the day was taking its toll. She desperately needed to talk to someone, and she knew who she wanted it to be.
Robin would always have time for her; that is when he was not obsessing over one villain or another. Right now, however, no major villain was at large and he would be free. No one else would suffice; only Robin.
There was one particular reason that it could only be him. There was a question she had been meaning to ask him for a while; something personal. It was, however, something she didn’t think she could ask him. She hoped she could gather up the courage to go through with it.

EEEEEEEEEEEEExcelent... (like Mr. Burns would say). you did really well with it, and expecially with the dexcription of starfire from Robins point of view, and then flipping it completely around when displaying it from starfire's point of view.

Short, yes, but for once even sweeter. I like this spot of knowing irony in particular:
A thought suddenly struck Robin. What if Starfire did have those feelings for him? What if she would ask him the exact same question he wanted to ask her? What a dream scenario. Farfetched, but a dream scenario.
And now for the serious job. I know that this is quite possibly the worst time and place for this comment, but if I keep it to myself any longer I'll go nuts, and anyway I've always been one to accept full responsibility for my actions, however stupid they may be. Well, here goes...I for one am not overly sad about the pope's death. Now, before you all string me up, I have great respect for him as a person, as well as the many things that he did (for example, the Second Vatican Council was definitely one of Christianity's wiser moves), but my undying hatred of him as an institution kinda overwrites that respect. A pointless - and perhaps spiteful - comment, I know, but sometimes the more unpleasant things need to be said, if only so that they can be dealt with out in the open. I apologise if I have offended and/or upset anyone, and if you wish to take me to task for my opinions then you are fully justified in doing so. And now I'm gonna go hide...

Uh ok, I'm kinda afraid to come out and say something right now, but I'll do so anyway. I can live with short chapter every now and then and seeing as DJ has been gone/grounded for a while I'm gonna cut him some slack. That was a good chapter. It always seems to end up like this, people feeling the same way about each other and not knowing so they think that the other person would never like them. That makes a good dramatic story.
As for everything else that has been going on, on this thread: no comment...
Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been really busy. :sweat:

Matt is entitled to his own opinions, sort of like Kregor is entitled to his opinions about religions. I am upset about the Pope's death, but I didn't really know him as well as other people (Not him personally, but the things he did. Yes, I know they were great and all, but I'm not sure I was even alive.). I do respect him though, if that han't already been implied.
Anime, Anime, Anime, Anime, Anime. Please watch your fingers. Sometimes a joke can go too far. Actually, to me it didn't seem that funny, so I would classify it as a joke.
As for the chapter, great work. You have the emotions down flawlessly (As you normally do) and I can't wait to see what Robin says and how he responds (Although it's going to be yes :p ). Great work!

Well, to make the best of a poor situation (and to make the rest of you hate me) this is another reason that I love my school. Being a Catholic school, it closed this friday for the Pope's funeral. It did not count as a snow day and we do not have to make it up. :D

Ahhh, the lucky ones. This one kid in my history class tried to use the Pope's death as an excuse not to do schoolwork. My teacher, being catholic, was exceptionally peeved by this. The nerve of the kid.

As in "you just said "fair enough" and left it at that, rather than stringing me up as a reflex action". I know I've done that before, and I'm not proud of it, hence why I'm so grateful that you guys didn't return the favour and do it to me.

..........-lowers her shoulders and slouches foward-With such talk of a religous embassador's death and such it makes your brain swell with exaustion.Topics of this genre should be kept to a minumum no matter how important.Sorry for saying so but the fact is I have no way of keeping my mouth shut.So just deal with I have to say,alright?It is sad,for me not becuase somebody of a stronge religion and honor died but becuase soembody important to others was lost.It isn't a huge thing for me and I had half an hour or so where it was on my mind and that was it.Since that day I have had no thoughts about what happened and I don't care to.So can we all be freinds again and do what this forum is meant for? Writing and being happy.....being the wierd meniacle strange disfunctional and loving family(not blood related but you dudes and girl dudes know what I mean) that we are?If we could I would appreciate it.And Im pretty sure everyone else will to.-smile-

Today, I had this strange, extremely strong urge to write a new chapter, so here it is.
________________________________________
Chapter 6
Starfire walked down the hallway slowly, possibly trying to stall her meeting with Robin. She figured he would be in the main room since that was where he passed the time when he was not working or obsessing over something. Starfire had noticed that Robin had been acting a bit preoccupied lately, which worried her a bit. He always seemed to be in control of every situation, but he seemed on another planet over the past couple of days. “I hope he is not sick,” she thought to herself.
Robin was not sick, but he certainly felt sick. He was worried out of his mind about what Starfire would say if he asked her out. He had never really experienced nerves like this before, and he did not like the feeling. It felt as though his body were turning itself inside out. He could feel his insides squirming like worms. He could feel his brain overloading with the things that could happen if this all went wrong, about how she could hate or shun him if he came on too strong.
Lost in their respective thoughts, neither Robin nor Starfire could tell that they were walking along intersecting hallways, on a direct collision course with each other. Before either of them could do anything, they slammed into each other. Their legs tangled together and they toppled down toward the ground. As Starfire was walking at a bit higher speed than Robin, she landed right on top of him.
“Oh,” she squeaked in surprise, “I am so sorry.”
“It’s all right Star,” he said. She pushed herself off of him with her right arm, which Robin secretly regretted. “Are you all right?”
“I am not damaged. Well, not any more than I was before.” This didn’t have quite the effect on Robin that she had hoped for. He seemed to sag a bit in what looked to be sadness. Starfire dropped her head.
There was a prolonged silence as neither of the pair wanted to be the first to speak. Eventually, however, somebody had to break the silence. That person was Starfire. “Robin,” she said slowly, “there is something I have been meaning to ask you.”
Robin was quite taken aback by this. “There’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you, too.” There was another silence. “Erm…you go first,” he said.
Starfire gulped. “Well, for the longest time, I have been having this…strange feeling.”
“Go on,” urged Robin.
“This is a feeling I have read about,” she continued, “in…I believe the genre is known as ‘romance.’” Hell no, thought Robin. Then again, there’s also jealousy in romance novels.
“Yes,” Starfire pressed on, “as I said, I have been having these feelings for the longest time and I cannot take the torture any more. I was wondering if you would enjoy the ‘going out’ with me.” Hell no, thought Robin again.
“Starfire” he said in shock, “I can’t believe this. I’ve been having the same feelings for you too. I was going to ask you the same question.” No, thought Starfire.
“So…it’s a date, then?” asked Robin.
“I believe that it is,” said Starfire.

Wow. It's hard to believe that's my longest chapter.

well, that was short, however crucial to the development of the plot. It was spectacularily (sp? word?) written, and you did well with the example starfire gave. an interesting point of it though was that you had starfire speaking first, rather than robin. Conformity would dictate that robin would be the first because he has to be a man. by flipping this on its head, you did many good things. first, it exposedrobin as imperfect and weak. next, you showed that you can go for what is best for the story, and not what is best for the overall accepted norm of things. and finally, it was much more interesting to read than if it had just been robin taking up the tradition of asking out star.
a very nice read, however short. oh well, keep up the great work! :cool:
