"Boring..."

She came with her girlfriend Phaedra and their friend Nefeli because she found Themyscira boring.

"Boring..."

Boring of course included her mentor, Wonder Woman, and the other girl Wonder Woman was mentoring – she found both sticks in the mud and no fun, although she wasn't sure where she'd learned that particular English phrase.

"Boring..."

In fact, she definitely knew she'd not learned English on Themyscira when she'd kissed Phaedra so she might assimilate the Greek language.

There was no getting around the fact her memories were hazy. She definitely remembered a man dressed in black wearing a mask which looked bat-like telling her that Wonder Woman would, in fact, be her new mentor, yet she didn't remember how she'd come to Earth. There was a definite gap in her memories, a period of time between when she left Tamaran and when she first met Wonder Woman.

After all, she definitely knew the English language when she met the woman, yet she didn't remember kissing anyone on Earth prior to that kiss in Themyscira with Phaedra, not to mention she struggled with the fact she'd forgotten the person she'd gleaned so many Earth languages from, along with an odd way of using the English language which made Wonder Woman give her strange looks every time.

The fact she kissed Phaedra – one of the orphans taken from the sea to be trained as the next generation of Amazon was treated as normal, at least as normal as kissing a complete stranger could be treated. Romantic and sexual relationships with the same sex on the island were the only option, given the entirely female population, yet she found herself with quite a bit of freedom outside of her daily lessons.

"Boring..."

She, of course, hated school, learning a language which she already had a firm grasp on, although the teacher was not pleased with her picking up the quirks of whoever she assimilated the language from. She also found no point in learning the history lessons, yet found herself ditching classes with Phaedra and Nefeli quite a bit, much to the chagrin of one Donna Troy.

"Boring..."

Donna Troy didn't seem to know how to have fun, let alone be okay with sometimes breaking the rules, such as skipping class. She was the one who let the full-fledged Amazon women know some of the things they got up to, yet she'd thought their plan of discovering a way to the mainland so they could explore would end up going wrong, yet nothing of the sort did. In fact, they found themselves on the mainland, in a small oceanside town called Happy Harbor.

They, of course, drew attention, what with Kori's exotic looks and the way her companions Nefeli and Phaedra dressed.

Eyes followed them as they headed towards a store so Kori might purchase herself a swimsuit for the beach utilizing money of hers, she honestly didn't remember how she'd come across in the first place. She kept trying on different swimsuits, turning towards her girlfriend and Nfeli. "Are you sure you don't want one as well? I do have money..."

"Nah. I'm not interested in guys ogling me." Phaedra leaned back. "I'd rather have an ice crème at the beach. I remember my mother buying me that."

"You're lucky to have some good memories before you ended up on the island." Nefeli let out a sigh. "I just have nightmares."

"So, you girls are missing memories from before you arrived at Themyscira as well?"

"We've gone over this Koriand'r. It's not the same. We were very young when we came to the island, while you came in later on, but have very clear memories regarding your home planet." Phaedra glanced out the window. "I wish I had those kinds of clear memories."

"Sorry. How about we head towards the beach and have some fun. That's why we're here."

Of course, with the attention came the reporter who was definitely curious regarding the strangers, yet Starfire didn't hold back in talking with them while the other two girls waved from behind, smirking at the camera. Despite their vague memories, they both knew enough, but ate up the attention, knowing full well they'd want to make the best of things before Wonder Woman showed up in order that they might drag them back to the island.

They also got the ice-cream like Kori's girlfriend wanted. The treat was actually quite nice, something all three enjoyed – until a group of young men around their age from the local school suddenly decided they would make some rather lewd jokes – jokes which Starfire noticed upset Phaedra, the context of being with a man not being something she liked, though Nefeli shrugged it off. She lifted her hands, planning on shooting off her starbolts when Nefeli grabbed her hand, pointing to a game they were watching being played out on the beach.

"I bet we can beat you at that."

"And if we win, you three will actually go on a date with us."

Phaedra's eye twitched, yet Starfire, even with how free she was regarding the issue of love didn't appreciate the connotations of the comment. Nefeli narrowed her eyes. "As if we'd lose."

The whole point was enjoying the three males getting trashed, though how she knew that was the word for what they were doing let alone the fact the game was beach volleyball, she didn't know. Slamming the ball over the net onto the other side – she felt her desire to wreck things abated somewhat but enjoying the looks on the guys' faces as they lost the game.

Nefeli placed her hands on her hips. "So, we agreed to what we would do if you three won, but we never discussed what we would do if you lost, right?"

"How about we just let those three go?"

Starfire turned her head towards a familiar voice, seeing a girl wearing a cloak accompanied by a boy who was – well, green.

Note - There are quite a few origin stories for the Amazon, but for this  one I am pulling inspiration from "Fury", an episode of DCAU's Justice League and the character Aresia - to a degree.
