Part One AKA Snow Based Hypothermia

Similar to the relation fleas have between hosts, the snow was attacking the earth in heavy accumulation. Powdering with even more vigor, the blizzard was such a hindrance that one could not see five feet ahead. The wind seemed insulted by all the attention bid to the blizzard; thus it howled desperately in hopes of gaining fame. It screeched and whispered; like a child, like a teen - like a titan?

"Beast Boy....." the voices of the wind carried the message. "Beast Boy.... Beast Boy, Beast Boy!!!"

Through glassy prophetic eyes, she looked up. There, using their bodies as a plow, were four strange beings in her driveway. With a cocked head, she turned to watch them dash about in a panicked pursuit looking for the fifth member of their group.

"Beast Boy!!! Oh Robin! Where ever could our dear friend have done the wandering to?" a girl with skin the color of a tangerine shouted over the gale.

"Sigh," with a dose of sarcasm the hooded one sneered.

"KEEP LOOKING!!!!!!!! I made this mess and now I am going to fix it. It's all my fault!" the apparent leader growled.

"What's up with that chick?!" shouted the mechanical man.

Without second thoughts, the heads of everybody turned to where he spotted the girl. She stared back to them with blank, emotionless eyes.

"Hey!" the orange one screeched.

"Starfire, no! Leave her alone!" the leader ordered.

"Hey! Girl in the doorway!"

"Shut up!"

"Hey! Can you help us?"

Dull dark eyes adjusted to the approaching object in their vision. "What?" an ethereal voice croaked.

"I am Starfire of the Planet Tamaran, and with me this is Robin! Our other friends over there are Cyborg and Raven. Please you must help us!" Starfire begged as Robin snatched her by the arm and began to drag her away apologetically, "I beg you to be of help of us! Our dear friend, Beast Boy, is what we think lost... He cannot be seen!"

"I am so sorry to bother you. - Starfire, drop it!"

"Please I am so worried for my friend. He is about the size of a Galapglorb," she gestured his height, "and is the color of a Goulpertoad!"

"STAR!"

"And the teeth of a Crackenaff!" she hooked her fingers in front of her mouth in hopes to suggest fangs.

With ease Raven hovered to the struggling couple. In a monotonous voice she further stated, "Don't mind her, she's not from around here. She means he is the size of a middle school girl, and entirely green with fangs..."

Eyes beginning to color again, she smiled nervously. "WHO?!"

"Beast Boy," the group stated all together.

With a sigh, Robin queried, "And you are...."

"Emma."

"OH WHAT SHEAR AND UTTER DELIGHT! PLEASED TO MEET YOU EMMA OF THE WIND AND SNOW! A NEW FRIEND! HERE LET US PERFORM THE CEREMONY OF FRIENDSHIP! I AM SO HAPPY!!!!" Starfire leaped about and the grabbed Emma's hand tightly.

Eying the orange alien grasping her hand in preparation for the dance, Emma extorted, "What's going on? This is a "Nor' Easter", one does not simply waltz around the forest in weather like this."

"Please, what is a Nor...Easter?"

This caused a symphony of crickets. "This is not the time for explanations of snow storms. Please we are looking for our friend, it's an emergency. I am responsible, if we don't find him I won't be able to live with myself! I am help responsible!" Robin cried.

"I know where he is..."
