"Well, I'll go find them," you say. "You all can stay here and finish the house."
*WHOOSH* You fly off in the general direction that you remember seeing those two go.
"Beastboy!" you call. "Flashfire! What're you two doing out here?"
You fly forward for several yards, but don't see or hear either of them.
"Flashfire?!" you shout again. It echoes away, but there is no reply from her.
You start to fear the worst. Could the two of them be hurt? Could they have fallen into some kind of natural well or cave? Maybe there is something on this island, and it ate them!!
You start flying frantically around, looking high and low.
"Flashfire!" you shout a third time. "Beastboy! Where are you two?!"
You stop in place when you hear a giggle come from the left. You turn to look, but can't see anything but thick jungle bushes.
You float over to the bushes slowly, holding your breath. If that is your sister, then why is she giggling?
Another scary thought comes to mind: what if they're having 'fun'?! D:
"Flashfire, no!" you shout as you rush into the bushes.
"Oh, Beastboy~!" Flashfire squeals.
She is face down, her butt up, as Beastboy moves around on top of her, thankfully in his human form.
"NOAERFDDAA!!" you yell and babble. The image is forever burned into your memory!!
"Saffire?!" your sister screams, getting up so fast, Beastboy falls on his back. "Oh my X'hal, I, we, I didn't think--"
"Shush!" you tell her, eyes shut tightly. "Don't... say... anything!" You can feel tears form, and your stomach feels sick, like at any moment you could throw up your breakfast.
"Uhh..." Beastboy is at a loss for words. "Saffire, I, that is..."
"Just get back to the house," you practically whimper.
Flashfire and Beastboy walk back, and you follow after. Your body starts to feel numb. It is probably just the shame and disgust of seeing your sister like that.
While the three of you walk, Beastboy turns to look at you.
"Saffire, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to look for us. I, or I guess, we, thought--"
"It's okay, Beastboy," you manage to say through the queasiness. "I'm the one who should be sorry. I should've just stayed with everyone else to help finish the house."
"The house is almost finished?!" Flashfire says excitedly. "C'mon, Beastboy!" She takes him by the hand and yanks him forward, flying the rest of the way back.
