I must credit the idea of this to Aymme and Julia. Aymme is the one who actually wrote something about her boyfriend that inspired me, and Julia is the one who showed it to me. I hope you both end up with a happily ever after.

Dear Diary,

I left my home today. Earth had become my home, for I had been away from Tamaran for so long. Now I see, though, that my time on Earth was not meant to be permanent. Galfore called me back to Tamaran. He is very sick, and does not think he has much longer to live. He sent Tamaranian soldiers to pick me up in the Gardilnof XI3. With Galfore gone, there would be no one left to assume the position of Grand Ruler. Komand'r was banished, and is of course not allowed to rule. After the accident with Ryand'r several years ago, this leaves only me. This is why I find myself returning to Tamaran.

I did not even get to say goodbye, it was so urgent that I leave immediately. Cyborg was at a movie with Bumblebee, Raven at her favorite café, and Beast Boy at the arcade. Robin was in his room, asleep. He had been training all day and was very tired. The four Tamaranians sent to pick me up allowed me to say goodbye to this one friend—my boyfriend—who was near. And him alone.

When I walked into Robin's room, I had intended to wake him so that I might truly say goodbye. When I saw him sleeping there, however, I could not bring myself to do so. It would be too cruel, to wake him from his peaceful slumber. He looked so… cute, just lying there on his bed. Usually when I see him, he is concentrating and worried over something, but not then. His face was so kind, so peaceful. It is a vulnerable expression I often long to see, but am only rarely granted. I stood by his door and watched him for the few minutes I was allowed before whispering my goodbye so as not to wake him.

I returned to my room and quickly wrote a note to leave on my bed. It read something like this:

My friends,

I wish I could have properly said goodbye to you all, but time does not allow this. My nanny, as you would call him, is very ill, and is not expected to recover. I am the only choice to take over Tamaran. Please do not try and come after me, for that will only make my decision worse. I choose to be Grand Ruler of Tamaran because it is best for my people. We have spoken of this before, but I believe that in some ways, it will be best for me too.

I am afraid that words cannot express my gratitude to you all. You were friends to me when no one else was. You believed in me even when I had not been touched by the warmth of kindness (of "nice"). Your generosity has meant more to me than you will ever know. It deeply saddens me to leave you now, but I do. Please pass on my dearest wishes to the rest of the Titans, wherever they may be. I am sorry I can never repay the kindness you have shown me, but I will always cherish these years with you in my heart. Please do not forget me, as I will never forget a moment I have spent with you.

Starfire

I have no idea what will be good for me as I return to Tamaran. I lied to my friends so that they would not follow. I only wish, more than anything, that they have enjoyed my time with them as much I have.

No, that is not true. What I wish, more than anything, is that Robin will follow me and sweep me off my feet as he takes me back to Earth. I do not want to go, despite the fact that I do not want to leave Tamaran without a ruler. I want Robin to fight for me so that I may return with him to Earth. I am leaving to go to another planet, another galaxy, a place far away from where he could reach me. He has been my only boyfriend, but he is without doubt the best. Robin and I were officially a couple for over a year, and somewhere within that time, I realized that I loved him. I do not know how I am going to live, move, even breathe without him, but I must try for now. Because we will not be apart forever. Someday, I know, we will see each other again. Robin is my best friend, and has made me who I am today. From the first day I met him, he has done nothing but try to help me, even though I was from another world. Even though I am sure we shall see each other again, I miss him. I miss touching him whenever I wanted, be it a kiss, a hug, or just the ability to grab his hand when I am scared. Right now, I am very scared. I miss him walking up to my room and knocking on my door at midnight just to say hi and that he missed me. I miss him. He is everything I would ever want in a guy, and I know that we can make it through this. It is just a bump in the road, nothing big. We will see each other again. One day.

One day.

A/N:

If you're religious, I ask that you pray for Aymme and anyone who knew her boyfriend, because no one I've heard about is taking this well. The last paragraph is something I modified from an original work by Aymme. I would like to show you what she actually wrote, and again ask that if you will, pray for her especially.

Hey everyone. Well, my name is AYMME... and I have the most awesomest boyfriend ever! His name is Anthoney and we've been together for over a year. I love him soooooooo much, and I don't know what I would do with out him. He's my best friend and he's made me who I am today, even though he just moved to Ohio. But I know we can stay together, and eventually be together forever. I just miss being able to touch him when ever I want, or those midnight knocks on my window just to say hi and I miss you. He's everything I want in a guy and I know we can make it through this. It's just a bump in the road, no biggie.
