Starfire and the Seven Tiny Titans
Chapter 1: I'm Wishing
Once upon a time, the queen of a humble but prosperous kingdom on the planet Tamaran was knitting by the window. She was knitting an outfit for her expected second child.
"I cannot wait to tend to a baby again." The queen said.
She had an older daughter named Blackfire who was already an adolescent, but something about her made the queen uneasy. Blackfire was beautiful, strong, and brave, but she was vain about her looks and dangerously interested in dark magic and could get extremely jealous. As the queen continued to knit, she pricked her finger, and a drop of red blood fell on a small orange banister she was sitting near with emeralds encrusted in it. She liked how it looked together.
"How lovely my child would be if she had skin as perfectly colored as this banister, like a star, with blood-red hair… Like a rose… And eyes like emeralds."
Shortly after this wish, her second daughter was born, but the queen used a good deal too much of her strength to bring the child into the world, so she only had enough strength to see that she was exactly how she dreamed she'd look, and she named her Starfire. Shortly afterwards, the king, Galfore, died as well, and Starfire was raised by her elder sister, now the Queen of Tamaran.
Starfire was lovely and full of life and laughter and very in tune with her emotions. Blackfire, however, feared that one day, Starfire's beauty would surpass her own. Because of this, she usually dressed Starfire in rags except for very special occasions where she couldn't afford to without appearing weak to her allies. Despite this, Starfire still enjoyed life and dreamed of the day she'd find the man she would love.
Every day, Blackfire went to a magic mirror she'd bought after her father's death and asked, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?" And as long as the mirror replied that she was the fairest, Starfire would live for another day, safe from her sister's jealousy…

Blackfire walked over to the mirror. It had been ten years since her father's death when she ascended to the throne of Tamaran, and she enjoyed it immensely. It was time for her daily check to make sure she was still on top of the beauty game. She could tell sixteen years ago when Starfire was born that her mother cared more about Starfire than her, and she could not afford to let that happen with her subjects. They might overthrow her… Or worse, take her off their money!
She arrived at the mirror and raised her hands as she recited the incantation.
"Slade, slave of the magic mirror, come from the farthest space." Blackfire recited as she crossed her arms. "Through wind and darkness, I summon thee. Speak! Let me see thy face."
In a burst of flames, the face of Slade appeared… If you could call it a face as only a mask with a moving eye appeared. The mask was black on the right side, orange on the other. The eye stared blankly at her.
"What wouldst thou know, my queen?" Slade asked in his usual monotone voice.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall," Blackfire recited. "Who is the fairest of them all?"
"Famed is thy beauty, majesty." Slade responded as his eyes widened slightly. "But hold… A lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee."
"Alas for her!" Blackfire spat out as her eyes glowed purple. "What's her name?!"
"Hair red as the rose." Slade responded calmly. "Eyes green as emeralds. Skin orange as a star."
"Starfire!" Blackfire said through her teeth as purple smoke emitted from her eyes.

Starfire was washing the stairs of the palace as she hummed to herself. She was almost done, and she was happy for her good life. True she had to work every day, but it had helped keep her strong, and she knew that when she got married, she'd be able to have a family again. She had missed that part of her life when she had a father and a sister. She had made friends with all the other planetary ambassadors that lived on the planet.
She finished the stairs and sighed contentedly as she picked up the pail and prepared to put it back in the well as several Do-Birds, small white birds that appeared throughout the palace, watched her. She put the pail in and looked at them.
"Wanna hear a secret?" Starfire asked.
The Do-Birds nodded. Starfire had a way with animals. They were her closest friends here.
"Promise not to tell?" Starfire asked again, and the doves shook their heads.
"We are standing by a wishing well."
Starfire then pointed at the hole in the well.
Make a wish into the well,
That's all you have to do.
And if you hear it echoing,
Your wish will soon come true.
Starfire then put her head near the well.
I'm wishing… (I'm wishing…)
For the one I love,
To find me… (To find me…)
Today. (Today.)
I'm hoping… (I'm hoping…)
And I'm dreaming of,
The nice things… (The nice things…)
He'll say. (He'll say.)
Had Starfire known it, that day, a person from a planet called Earth was passing by the palace when he heard Starfire singing. His name was Robin, and he had been helping his mentor and friend, Batman, save the ambassador from an assassination attempt by a jealous aid. Robin thought it was the nicest, sweetest voice he'd ever heard and hopped over the wall to see who it was and saw a Tamaranian girl, the prettiest one he'd ever seen, and her kind nature, which he could easily see on her face in the way her eyes looked in conjunction with her mouth's movements, only made her more beautiful.
Starfire continued singing as the well echoed back.
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha. (Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha.)
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
I'm wishing… (I'm wishing…)
For the one I love,
To find me… (To find me…)
Today.
"Today!" Robin sang out as he appeared next to Starfire.
"Oh!" Starfire exclaimed as she jumped back. The boy had caught her by surprise.
"Hello." The boy said. "My name is Robin. I didn't frighten you, did I?"
Starfire ran off as she didn't want someone she'd just met to see her in her work clothes.
"Wait." Robin called out. "Wait please! Don't run away."
Starfire ran into the castle, but Robin called out.
Now that I've found you,
Hear what I have to say!
Starfire then walked out against her first instinct and listened.
One song, I have but one song.
One song, only for you.
Starfire swooned and tidied herself up as best as she could.
One heart, steadily beating.
Constant and true!
Starfire looked down and found herself falling in love with him as he fell in love with her.
One love that has possessed me.
One love, brimming with truth.
One song, my hear keeps singing.
Of one love, only for you.
Starfire smiled and flew down as she kissed Robin gently on his cheek.
"I am Starfire." Starfire said. "I am doing the hoping that I see you again."
"Me too." Robin said. He kissed her hand and went off.

Unknown to either lover, Blackfire watched from a high up window and scowled. Starfire would pay for putting her at number two again.
Well… This idea just came with me, so I went with it. Please tell me what ya think.
