Sidestory # 10 +It Only Takes A Moment Part 8: Puppies, Penguins, and Bunnies+
(See SideStory #1 for full Notes and explanation)
A/N: Eh, I'm back to feeling this is crap. But it was the second attempt, so...*shrug* I actually kinda like Star in this, but I'm back to having no purpose for it.
Disclaimer:: No claim to ownership, no money made, still poor as a rodent that looks like a portal to enter rooms by (Sorry...still stuck in Star!Speak...) (I don't own Foamy either.)

It Only Takes A Moment - Sidestory 10 (From Part VIII)
Foamy
by Em
“...and the ones with that “Foamy” Squirrel on them...”
“He is cute like the auditory canal of an insect!”
Raven paused for a moment while her brain went through her Starfire Speak translation process. 'Auditory Canal of an insect?' she thought. 'Ear of an insect,' she partially translated. 'Cute as the ear of an insect?' she tried. She shook her head, giving up and sighed. “Foamy is not cute, Star,” she told her, walking passed her to the kitchen.
Star followed her. “Foamy(1) is more than cute,” Star enthused, “He is as cute as the discs that holds clothing closed!”
Raven glanced down at her t-shirt and wondered what part of gray cartoon squirrel depicted in full lotus on the blue, purple and black background might be considered cute. “What about him is cute, Star?” she wondered. “There's nothing cute about him.”
Starfire cocked her head to the side as she looked at Raven's shirt, “He is amusing with his big round eyes and misshapen body and he is master of zen, as well!”
Raven knew she wasn't going to convince Starfire that something she had decided was cute wasn't. But she felt a certain responsibility to help her get her ideas straight. “This is not cute,” she said, motioning to her tee-shirt. “It is a sarcastic statement on life and on my own attitude.” She pulled the shirt away from her body and motioned the writing along the left bottom edge, “You see what it says?”
Starfire nodded, “I have mastered the zen of anger,” she read aloud. She grinned at Raven, “Congratulations!”
Raven sighed. “Thank you,” she said calmly. “But it's not cute.”
“But he is cute, Raven,” Starfire insisted.
Raven took a calming breath and tried to say it slowly. “Foamy is not cute, Star” she insisted. “He's a psychotic rodent.”
Starfire grinned brilliantly, “Psychotic is good, yes?”
Raven thought about saying 'no' but stopped herself. “It can be, I suppose,” she answered honestly. “Depends on who you ask, I gather, but it's not cute.”
Robin entered the room and paused when he noticed both girls stare at him. “What?” he asked.
“Robin,” Raven said, as if something had suddenly occurred to her, “Would you care to explain to Starfire why Foamy the Squirrel is not cute?”
Robin blinked. “Huh?” he asked, looking from Raven to Starfire and back again. “I just came in for some water.”
“Is the psychotic rodent on Raven's tee-shirt not cute?” Starfire asked.
Robin looked at the tee-shirt in question and laughed at the picture of Foamy on it. He now realized exactly what the conversation must have been like. He also noticed the frustration on Raven's expression. “Yeah, Star,” Robin agreed, grinning unapologetically at Raven, “It's cute as a bug's ear,” he said somewhat sarcastically.
Raven seemed about to argue for a moment before she stopped and slapped her hand on her thigh with a loud whack. Robin and Starfire jumped and Raven looked back at them incredibly amused (which for her meant a slight smile on her lips).
“Cute like the auditory canal of an insect,” Raven figured out.
Robin frowned. “Huh?” he repeated.
“Exactly!” Starfire agreed.
“I'll come back for the water,” Robin decided, walking back the way he came.
