Chapter one Super models

Starfire glided down the hall of the tower. In her hands, she held a small laundry basket. It was her turn to do the laundry. And even though she was an alien from Tamaran, Raven had taught her how to wash clothes. And she was pretty good at it.

It was pretty early in the morning, and she didn't think anyone was awake yet. But she was wrong.

As she crept closer to the large door that opened into the living room, she started hearing voices, recognized as her friends…

"Huh?" She asked herself, pressing an ear to the door, listening in on their conversation.

"Come on Robin, you know she's hot!" Beast boy shouted. "I mean seriously, how can you look at her, and not be attracted!"

'This girl they are talking about is burning? And this is good?' Starfire asked herself.

"Yeah man, I mean look at her! She has beautiful red hair, and gorgeous green eyes." Cyborg added. Starfire listened wide eyed. She had red hair and green eyes too!

"And dude, look at her outfit! That dress is like an extra small! She has to weight like…50 pounds!" Starfire was very confused now about what Beast boy was talking about.

'50 pounds? Can an earth girl weight that much?' (A/N: I know, I know. No one could possible weigh 50 pounds if they're at least a few years old. It's Beast boy...deal with it.)

"Beast boy's over exaggerating...but still! Come on man, you have to admit she's hot." Cyborg continued to say. Robin smiled looking at the model on the large screen TV.

"Well she is very pretty…" Robin trailed off. Starfire's eyes widened even more.

'Robin likes this hot girl!'

"Ha! I knew it! I mean, every guy wants a girl like that for his girlfriend. Even the boy wonder right?" Beast boy grinned.

Starfire slowly backed away from the door, flying quickly to her bedroom.

"I'm not sure...I mean, she's pretty and all, but she's not really my type.." Robin said sighing, leaning back on the couch.

"Well yeah…I guess. I just wanted to hear you say she was pretty. I mean, don't you want a girl like her?" Robin shook his head lightly.

"Not really. I know who the right girl is. I'm just waiting…"

"For what?" Beast boy asked.

"The right time to tell her…"

"Oh? So you already found this girl? Could her name begin with an S and end with a Fire?" Cyborg laughed. Robin blushed, as he glared at Cyborg.

"Hey, I don't see you with a girl!"

"I don't see you with a girl either man." Cyborg laughed harder. Robin glared some more, then turned away.


Starfire sat in her room, she could feel tears coming to her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. Why was she crying anyway? She wasn't Robins girl. And after hearing that, she figured she never would be. He loved another girl. A model.

"He loves that girl. The one who is hot, and has red hair and green eyes. And weighs 50 pounds…I wish I could be like her…" Starfire whispered, holding her small pillow close to her. She ever used to care. But lately she wanted to be more human. She wanted to fit in.

She had beautiful red hair and green eyes. But her skin was a little too orange. And she did have powers not many Earthlings owned. She had hardly any knowledge of Earth or it's customs. And though she always thought of herself as skinny, she thought of herself as not skinny enough.

After hearing what the guys said, she just had to change that. If all guys liked girls like that model, she needed to become like that model. In every way.

"I must journey to the mall of shopping!" Starfire exclaimed happily.

She needed something if she wanted to know all about super models. A magazine was her best bet.


Starfire stepped into the living room, smiling happily as though she hadn't heard anything.

"Friends, I am going to the mall of shopping and shall return soon. May I pick up anything for you while I am away?" The guys looked at her as Raven joined them. She put her hood on as she drifted over to the couch.

"Um sure Star. I could use some more tofu." Beast boy told her as he turned to Raven. She sat on the couch, grabbing her book and reading it.

"Very well. How about you Cyborg?"

"I think I'm good for now."

"Very well." She repeated, then started walking out.

"Hey Star! Mind if I join you?" Robin asked running next to her.

"Robin, I um…would like to go by myself today. If it is alright with you." She faked a small smile. Robin frowned then nodded.

"Okay, but be back in time for lunch." She nodded then quickly flew out of the tower.


Starfire looked all around the mall. She found many different magazines, but none about the model she wanted to become, or any models like her.

"Oh…where is it…?" She looked around the magazine racks until she found a magazine that caught her eye. Miss Gotham City: The top ten hottest girls. (A/N: No, I've never read one of these magazines, so all of this is completely made up! Hooray for me!)

Starfire smiled then picked it up, leafing through the pages. She finally found her. The red haired, green eyed beauty the guys were talking about. She was on two pages.

She had a full page photo of herself, wearing a tight black leather dress. On the other page was strictly information about the model.

Name: Anna Despidos (A/N: Made that up...)

Age: 19

Height: 5' 6"

Weight: 98lb.

Birthday: March 23rd

Eating habits: Half cup cabbage, two after-dinner mints, and an apple a day

Some more stuff like that. Starfire stared at the page carefully. She hardly ate anything at all!

"How can an Earth girl eat so little?" She stared at the model. She was very beautiful. Starfire carefully closed the magazine, bringing it to the rack. She handed it to the store clerk who looked over the magazine for a second, being a little too nosey.

"So, you like these models?" Starfire nodded slowly.

"Yes they are…what all guys like, so I am going to study them." She was truthful.

"Really? Well, be careful. Sometimes trying to be someone else ruins your life." He rang up the magazine then handed it back to her. She smiled holding it.

"Thank you." She held it close to her chest as she flew out of the store and back home.


"Friends, I have returned!" The titans turned to the door where she stood. She was gone, hardly even ten minutes, due to her being able to fly.

"Hey Star. Get what you wanted?" Robin asked staring at her magazine. On the back, the only side he saw, was a picture of a girl in a swimsuit. Advertising for some kind of skin care product.

"Um…yes." She blushed then flew up to her room. Robin blinked a few times then turned to the other titans. Beast boy and Cyborg were playing the game they had been playing was Starfire came in. They hardly even noticed she was there. Raven looked up at Robin, then slowly walked over, resting her hand on his shoulder.

"You okay?" Robin nodded slowly. Beast boy looked up quickly, then glared at the door.

"She forgot my tofu!"

"Good." Cyborg added as he passed Beast boy's car.

"I'm fine.." He said as Raven walked back to the couch, reading her book once more.


Starfire closed her door, locking it quickly as she closed the blinds on her large window. She sat cross legged on her bed, flipping through the little magazine. All the girls were gorgeous! And all of them were so skinny. Starfire sighed, she wanted to be like that. Be human. These girls had fans, tons of boyfriends, and it didn't matter where they came from. For all they knew, the girl could be an alien sludge monster from another planet, but if she looked like that…no on cared.

"I want to be like them…" She sighed.


An hour or so later in still in Starfire's room…

Starfire had pictures of her favorite models cut out and scattered on the floor. She looked down at them, holding a notepad. On the notepad were three things:

Eat very little
Wear beautiful clothes

Learn more Earth language

She smiled looking from her notes to the ground pictures. She had everything, now she just had to put it all together.

"I believe, while I am working on the last two, I can also start n the first one. If eating very little makes these girls skinny in just a few months, perhaps if I do not eat at all…I shall become skinny in a few weeks!" She squealed happily. Then glanced at the door to make sure no one was there. Then she sat down, picking up her pictures whispering. "…but I cannot tell my friends. They would not encourage me to do this…" She smiled once again as she grabbed a small pink book and began writing in it, placing the pictures in it.


Well, that's all for the first chapter of my new book. This first chapter was really messed up, jumping around and not many details. I've already written half the story though, and I promise you it gets better.

So, basically, I would like a favor of you guys. If you could please tell me what you think, it would be greatly appreciated. So, here are the choices:

1. You tell me I should post more, and I will.

2. Tell me I'm wasting my time and to just get rid of it and that I wasted my time ever starting this project.

Or 3. You can just not review all together and break my poor heart...

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my lil' chapter. BTW, my other chapters are ALL over five pages each. This is the shortest chapter.
