Author's note: The setting here is after the end "Date with Destiny." Obviously, it is best to watch this episode before reading this. They have just finished dancing and start to head home. Kitty, Fang, and Killer Moth have been taken away by the police and the whole prom is basically over. The only people left at the prom are the Titans. This is where the story continues...

*************************************************************************

Those few minutes dancing with Starfire had sparked such emotion deep within Robin. He had never realized how beautiful she was until this night. He could not deny it now, no matter how hard he tried. Robin was in love with Starfire. As the two of them begin to walk back with rest of the team, Robin is sunk in deep thought. He is compelled to release his emotion. Holding it in is difficult.

"Are you ok, Robin?" Starfire couldn't help notice that Robin's face was reddening. Taken away from his thoughts, he replies, "Um, yea I'm fine, nothing's wrong." "Are you sure? Your face looked positvely red and I am a little conce--" "--it's ok Star, nothing's wrong."

With Robin's motorcycle and Cyborg's car sitting next to the pier, Cyborg makes his way to his car along with Raven, Beastboy, and Starfire. Robin stops and says to Starfire, "Wait, Starfire...could you stay behind for a minute?" "All right. What is it that you want to discuss, Robin?"

Before Robin can say anything, Beastboy spouts, "Hey Cy, why don't we leave these two alone for now?" Amused, Cyborg replies, "Uh, ok (chuckle). Man, I am itching to get home right now, how 'bout some tunes for the ride home?!" Without warning, Cyborg and Beastboy grab Raven and toss her into the back seat of the car. The side doors slam and the muffled sound of loud music begins to fill the area. Cy's car screeches off into the night with a puff of smoke and the smell of burnt rubber.

Starfire walks over to the edge of the pier to sit with Robin walking behind her. Both now alone, Robin sits down next to her and asks, "So did you enjoy the night?" "Yes, I loved it. Although I was angry at Kitten for her senseless acts, I enjoyed it." Slightly blushing, Robin continues, "You dance pretty good for someone that's not from Earth. I was impressed." Starfire also begins to blush. Robin scoots closer to Star as the conversation progresses. Robin is afraid to confess his love to Starfire. He doesn't know why.

With his last amount of confidence, he begins, "Starfire...until today I didn't fully know it, but now I do. I now know that I--"

(Distant explosion)

Starfire jumps to her feet, "What was that?!" Slightly disappointed, Robin responds, "I don't know, but we better check it out."

Robin pulls out his communicator and sends an alert to the other Titans. Cy is still driving home and he has his car stereo turned up to its maximum volume. He and Beastboy

are going crazy. As for Raven, all she can do is to continue to be annoyed by their antics. Because of the commotion, no one noticed that their communicator was beeping.

Robin, a little worried, asks himself, "Why aren't they responding?" Starfire tells him, "We cannot wait much longer. We must go see what has happened ourselves." Robin agrees, and they both race to the scene.

Robin and Starfire arrive only to discover a van that has been destroyed. It was the police van that took away Kitten, Fang, and Killer Moth. Now worried, Robin and Starfire are puzzled at how this happened.

Suddenly, a screeching voice echoed, "IT'S NOT OVER ROBBIE-POO!!"

Robin turns around only to find Kitten with her face contained in extreme rage.

At that moment, Fang runs up to Starfire and shoots her with his venom. "...Robin.......help...." Fang rushes up and attempts to take Starfire away while shooting his webbing at Robin. He dodges all of Fang's webbing shots, jumps up, and tries to kick him away from Starfire. Out of nowhere comes Killer Moth. He tries to tackle Robin but he dodges and causes Moth to misses. This, however, gave Fang enough time to grab Starfire and make a run for it. Still determined to retrieve Starfire, Robin runs towards Fang. Killer Moth gets back on his feet and finally takes Robin down to the ground and holds him there. All he can do is watch Fang make off with Starfire into the night.

Kitten paces towards Robin with an evil look. "I told you that you would pay for what you did. You don't need your stupid girlfriend anyway."

"Shut up and let me go."

"Daddy, I'm done with him. Go ahead and give him what he deserves."

Killer Moth then raises his fist and drives it towards Robin's head...

(SLAM!)
