This is the sequel to Tangled Web and the third part of a trilogy. I recommend reading Tangled Web before reading this story, but it is not required. Reading Jealousy before Tangled Web is definitely not required. Sorry it took me so long to post this.

Valentine's Day.

The day that everyone looks forward too, or dreads the entire month of February. Starfire dreaded today, but not because of the holiday, but of an ancient power. An ancient power that awakened today.

An ancient power called the red fire awakened in a princess of Tamaran every thousand years. Starfire was the princess.

What is the problem with an ancient power? It is the most powerful of them all. Unfortunately it has a mind of its own. It takes over its user's mind and they are never the same again. The power wants to destroy everything, and the user can do nothing to stop it but keep it from fully emerging.

Starfire sat on her bed, head in her hands. Tears streamed out of her emerald eyes. Why must disaster strike on her favorite Earth holiday? She knew it was coming, but she could do nothing to stop it.

Robin woke up. He looked at his clock, 8:34. Valentine's Day. The Titans didn't have anything special planned for the day.

Robin walked over to his nightstand where he had put Starfire's present. He had had a hard time searching for the perfect gift for Starfire before settling for a simple, heart shaped golden locket and a box of chocolates. He hoped she appreciated them.

He walked into the common room, gifts in hand. Beast Boy and Raven were sitting on the couch sharing a box of chocolates. Cyborg was on the phone.

"Where's Starfire?" Robin asked.

"Haven't seen her," Raven said.

That's strange. She loves Valentine's Day. Robin thought.

"What did you get her?" Beast Boy asked, jumping off the couch to go find out. "Awww, a locket and box of chocolates. How traditional," Beast Boy said.

"Shut up, Beast Boy," Robin said.

Robin walked away. He went down the hall to Starfire's room and knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again, but it didn't seem like Starfire was in her room. Robin opened the door. Starfire was sitting on her bed, looking very distraught.

"Starfire, what's wrong?" Robin asked, rushing up to her.

"Nothing is wrong," Starfire lied.

"Stop lying. What is it?" Robin asked again.

But once again he failed to get an answer, "Nothing is wrong Robin," Starfire said. She snatched the locket and chocolates out of his arms.

"Thanks," she said, popping a chocolate into her mouth, "I love chocolate almost as much as you"

"Love you too," Robin said, rolling his eyes. Starfire giggled. "Can I have some?" Robin asked.

"Sure," Starfire replied. She opened up her dresser drawer and pulled out a heart shaped box of chocolates. "Have a whole box," Starfire said. She threw it at him.

Then the alarm went off.

"Why do villains always have to ruin out holidays?" Robin asked.

"I just don't know. But before we go, can I have a Valentine's Day kiss?" Starfire said with a false pouty expression.

"Sure," Robin said. He gave her a quick kiss before running out the door.

Good because it might be the last one I ever get Starfire thought. Then she ran out to join her teammates.

There were a bunch of Slade goons robbing a jewelry store. Raven used her powers to knock them to the ground. Robin used his amazing karate skills to take out enemies. Cyborg used his sonic cannon in combination with Beast Boy's animals.

But it wasn't enough. There were to many of them. Starfire knew that they needed her help, but she couldn't help them. If she used her powers, the red fire would surely awaken.

Then a goon struck her in the back. Forgetting about the power waiting for this very moment, she struck it with a starbolt. At first, the red fire seemed controlled but soon it started to take over.

Starfire screamed as the power took over her mind. She tried to stop it, but its thoughts were now replacing her own.

Face it, you have lost. The red fire shall reign again!!!!

A burst of the red energy eliminated all of Slade's goons.

"Yeah, go Star!!" Cyborg yelled.

"Where did you learn that?" Robin asked.

"Who are you people, and why are you calling me Star? I should arrest at the spot! From now on you will refer to me only as Princess," Starfire said, but it wasn't her voice. The power was speaking for her.

"Starfire?" Robin asked. He could tell something wasn't right about her.

"Some other time," Starfire said. She flew off into the sky. Just before she left the building she turned around "And, it's Princess,"

Hope you liked it. Thanks for reading!! Please Review!!!
