Alright, I'm finally back! So, I really didn't like the first version so I'm starting over. Thanks to all those who had reviewed the other version! I made a few small changes and a couple of large ones. I'm sorry if you like the other version better, but this is what I had to do. Thanks so much. Please enjoy!

I don't own the Teen Titans

Robin was sprinting as fast as he could. His heart was nearly in his throat, and he could hear the pounding and beating in his ears. Every muscle in his worn body ached. He had to keep going and he pushed himself further and further, faster and faster.

His breathing was beginning to sound labored. Panting, he began to slow, but he regained himself when he saw her in the distance. He found the strength to run faster. He leaped over a small canyon continuing to bolt in her direction. Dodging sharp rocks and avoiding small crevasses he fought to reach her. He just needed to get across this harsh landscape.

As he neared her, Robin skidded to a halt. He stared wide-eyed at the scene that lay before him. She was hanging. She was hanging over a cliff and the only thing holding her up was a scaly hand around her neck. Her eyes were filled with fear; she had a desperate look on her tear-stained face.

Robin began running again. He started to climb the cliff and when he reached it, although he was exhausted, he managed to find the strength to scale the humongous wall. The boy wonder was getting very close and he could hear the creature's maniacal laughter as he clutched the girl.

Robin was almost there! As he approached the scene, driven with anger, he witnessed the unthinkable. The hand clawing at her neck let go and she began falling. Robin screamed for her as she screamed for him. She hit the ground below, the jagged rocks piercing through her flesh. Blood splattered around her.

Robin stared helplessly at the poor girl on the ground. Tears were falling down his face as he watched the life being sucked out of her,

"Now it's your turn," a raspy voice said. Robin jerked his head up, meeting a pair of glowing, black, and green eyes , a sharp, toothy smile and a slender body and face, concealed by shadows. The creature took out a knife. A flash of lightning bolted in the night sky. As the knife came down, Robin screamed!

"Ahhhhhh," Robin yelled as he awoke in bed. Sweat stained his whole body, and his heart was beating rapidly. He looked around wide-eyed.

"It was just that nightmare," he whispered. Robin took a deep breath to slow down his breathing and quiet his panting. A hand went to the terrified boy's head.

"Not again," he sighed as he clenched his eyes shut. Robin had been having the same dream for the past month. He used to have it once or twice a week, but lately it was becoming more frequent.

"It all started when Starfire left a month ago," Robin thought. The tired boy sighed and lay back down in bed, thinking of his green eyed, alien friend. "I wish we could be more than friends." Robin mentally slapped himself for letting the thought occur. As much as he adored her, they had a job to do as heroes.

No, Robin hated to admit it, but his main concern was fear. Fear of opening himself up and expressing emotions, fear of something horrible happening to her because of him... fear of trust and love...

"Someone will try to take advantage of us. Use each other as weaknesses. I can't afford to lose her, even if it means not being with her," Robin lectured to himself. He felt like his adoptive father, always concerned with emotions, always knowing what was best.

"But, is this really the best?" he pondered. "I just can't stand being by her. I just want to hold her. I want to run my hands down her smooth back, and stare into those wondrous green eyes. I want to meet those soft pink lips and kiss her breathless!"

Robin reached up and slapped his goofy grin right off his face. Groaning, he stuffed his head into his pillow, but he still couldn't get that angel out of his mind.

"I wish she was here," he groaned to himself. "She would have come," he whispered. "She would have heard me scream and would have come to check on me. She is just so sweet and caring. I wish she weren't sometimes, that would make my life easier, I wouldn't like her so much."

Starfire had to leave Earth for a little while to go attend to 'business' on Tameran.

Robin recalled the day she left...

Flashback

Robin was walking towards Starfire's pink bedroom, excited as always to see his best friend.

"Hey, Star," he called into her open door. "We are all going out for pizza, you want to-," Robin paused in mid-sentence. "Star what are you doing," he asked nervously. She had a large suitcase on her bed and was stuffing clothing into it. She turned and smiled sadly at him. He began to panic; the last time she did this was when she was going to be forced to marry.

"Robin!" Starfire exclaimed. "Don't be alarmed friend; I have some business to attend on Tameran. I was going to tell you soon." She was very unhappy, but tried to stay cheery.

"Star, you can't leave!" Robin exclaimed. "I... err... we need you here!"

Starfire sighed and sat on the bed, she had expected this. "Robin, I am sorry, but I am going and that is final. Do not fret, I will be back soon!" She smiled and stood.

"But Star I-"

"I'll have none of the 'buts' Robin. It is my duty to go and I will." She crossed her arms and frowned. "I think I can take care of myself fine Robin."

"What if you need help? I'll go with you!" Robin stood, desperate to come to a compromise.

"No Robin, I'm going alone and that is final," Starfire firmly explained while stomping her foot against the ground.

"Starfire! Someone needs to be-"

They argued and debated over the matter until Robin finally gave in.

"What do you have to do exactly?" Robin scratched the back of his head nervously. "I don't want you getting hurt..."

Starfire smiled and hugged Robin very hard. "Oh Robin, I will be fine!" She let go and Robin sucked in some much needed oxygen. Her face became serious and she sighed. "I am not sure why I have been summoned to go. All I know is that it is very important for me to return to Tameran for awhile. I'm sure all will be well!"

"I guess if that's what you really need to do, just be careful. You're my best friend Star. I don't think I'd be alright if something happened to you."

"Thank you," she whispered.

They both smiled sadly and said their goodbyes. Starfire walked out ready to leave. However, she turned around one last time and gave the Boy Wonder another bone crushing hug. They laughed and said goodbye one last time. As she left, Robin felt a strange feeling in his gut...

End Flashback

That was a month ago, and Robin couldn't stand being like this. Every little thing made him think of her. That fiery red hair, those beautiful emerald eyes, that curved and hot body, and that adorable smile. He never felt so desperate in his life.

"I have to tell her," he decided. "I can't take the torment of this. I have to and I will tell her!"

He had walked over and sat at his desk. He was surprised to see he had doodled Starfire's name on a sheet of paper. He sighed and put his head in his hands. "I'm so pitiful," he groaned to himself. He was about to trash the paper, but something told him to stop. He looked at it again and drew hearts around it. He just couldn't help himself. When he had drawn many little hearts around her name, he put it away in a drawer.

Robin lay back down in his bed. "I'm going to tell Starfire I have feelings for her," he said aloud. Robin's eyes began to close until he was fast asleep, dreaming of the angelic alien, his Star...

TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Tofu!

Meat!

Tofu!

Meat!

TOFU!

MEAT!

SHUT UP!

Robin chuckled at the sounds of his friends and walked into the common room happy to see life so normal.

"Oh right, life isn't normal, I won't be receiving a hug today" He thought sadly. His mood became a lot less cheery.

"Yo! Look who finally decided to show up y'all!" Cyborg said cheerfully. "You're just in time for a meaty breakfast!"

"Uh, oh no your not! You know Robin wants a nice tofuy breakfast!" Beastboy exclaimed proudly"

Raven raised an eyebrow and stared at the green changeling. "I see our vocabulary is improving." Beastboy's only response was a death glare.

"Aw come on, will you two stop flirting!" Cyborg had a cheeky look plastered on his half metal face.

"Ha Ha Ha! That was so funny!" A blushing Beastboy said sarcastically

Raven was also blushing. She glared at Cyborg and went back to meditating, chanting her famous words. Lately Cyborg was teasing them a lot more than usual and it was starting to get on her nerves.

"Has anybody heard anything from Starfire?" Robin asked, ignoring his friends bickering.

The three titans seemed to become sadder.

. "No, I wish she would call. It's so dull around here andStarfiredoesn't go around messing with me all the time, right Cyborg and Raven?" Beastboy exclaimed.

Cyborg chuckled and Raven rolled her eyes.

"I mean come on! Dude, she's been gone for like a month now!"

"One month, 2 weeks, and 3 days," Robin grumbled to himself, only it was louder than he expected. He looked up at curious and confused faces. "Well, you know... but who's counting?" He shrugged and went over to the kitchen, embarrassed and red-faced. The other boys had evil grins on their faces.

"Looks like you really miss your gir-," Cyborg was cut off by the communications television beeping. Cyborg ran over to the screen and allowed the message through. The titans gasped at what they saw. There, on the monitor, was a battered Starfire...

Hmm... alittle different! Please review! Update will be awhile sorry
