For a couple minutes Starfire simply stared at Raven, her well built figure gracously floating midair as she meditated. She was probably so lost in her mental world that Raven had no idea of the shrunken guest in her bedroom, and Starfire knew it was a distinct possibility for sure. She had no choice but to do something to grasp Raven's attention, and being a superhero Starfire had an easy idea.
"I'll just fly up to Raven's ear and say something. Maybe sing a friendship song, that will surely get my friend's attention!" Wearing a confident smile Starfire leapt into the air, expecting to take off full speed for Raven's indifferent face. However to Starfire's infinite dismay whilst she did leap a solid ten feet in the air, she was not flying! Starfire was powerless as gravity took over and brought the girl back down to Earth. A soft near inaudible thud was heard in the room as the shrunken alien girl fell to the ground.
Grunting a little bit Starfire shook her head and rose back to her feet. "Something seems to be wrong...I can't fly?" She looked back at Raven, her attempt obviously did nothing to get her attention. "I'm sorry friend....but here comes a starbolt!" Starfire yelled, punching her fist forward and awaiting the green energy to shoot and prod her friend back to reality. Like her flight though, it didn't succeed.
"I can't use my bolts either?" Starfire muttered with dismay, she couldn't fly and her starbolts weren't coming, and while it wasn't yet tested she probably didn't have super strength either. She was basically a normal human.
"Did the Shrink Ray do this? Why would someone make such a thing!?" She shouted in dismay, not realizing at all that it was her fault for self shrinking anyway.
The negative emotions of dismay from Starfire had a surprising effect though, deep in her meditative trance Raven felt the emotions like they were amplified through a loudspeaker. "Starfire!!" She shouted as her eyes flung open, instantly locking onto the colorful speck along her floor.
"Hi friend!" Starfire muttered happily, happy that somehow Raven sensed her.
Carefully walking Raven stopped her boot just before Starfire and bent over, "How did this happen? You're...small." Quickly Starfire recounted what happened, how she got a Shrink Ray, how she shrunk herself, the unforseen problems of doing that...and running to Raven for help.
When she finished Raven just shook her head and sighed, "You idiot, there's a reason you don't see a lot of people carrying stuff like that! Where'd you find such a thing anyway?"
"Oh some pleasant place with all sorts of neat electronics. I think the man said....Black Market?"
Raven's eyes widened in humorous shock, "Uh...Starfire...don't ever go to a place like that again."
"Okay friend!" Starfire replied peppily, "Does this mean you're going to help?"
For once Raven smirked at the shrunken Tamaranian, "Perhaps, but I do remember a certain Ritual for eternal friendship someone did."
Starfire remembered it well, unaware of Earth's traditions she carried her own planet's traditions instead. One of them being two friends of the same gender would be forever bonded if they were to suck on eachothers big toes. Starfire ended up doing this at night as per tradition...and Raven woke up with the red painted toe brushing against her tongue. Needless to say Raven didn't talk to Starfire for a while.
"What about it friend? I apologized didn't I?"
Raven kept smiling, "Yeah you did....
