Chapter 2

So you're them.

"Oh they should be the here, here is where they should be by the now." Starfire mumbled to herself as she quietly paced back and forth holding her hands together tightly and look down at the titans cold grey cement ground. While she was all alone in the common room, it felt like a ghost town to her as she only heard herself. It had been two days since Starfire had giving her friends the happy news of her sweet seventeen. Today the whole tower smelt sushi and ice cream, not a very good pair. The sent was coming from Star fire's pudding of happiness. She had cooked three bowls of it for her tamarenian friends and servants to eat.

Starfire was not in her over overjoyed happy mood. Her tamarenian family was four hours late. She had told the titans once that she had believed them to be dead in a ship crash that was until they made it home. Therefore, those being late only made her more nervous.

Robin on the other hand was just getting out his hot shower wondering if his star was still pacing. That's were he had very reluctantly left her this morning after finishing his sweet blueberry pancakes for breakfast. He had offered some to her but she refused to eat until her family got to the tower.

Wait a minute. Did I call her my star? He questioned himself as he got a warm red towel out and wrapped it around his wet pineapple smelling skin. That smell, that smell had always been his favorite. He still did not now why but something about it made him attracted to it. Discarding his thoughts on fruit scents, he looked into a foggy glass mirror. To his right he grabbed a yellow cloth that smelt as new as the day he had bought it. The soft fabric tickled his gloveless hands as he wiped it along the mirror to see his reflection of his blue eyes. This was the only time he took off his mask. Around his eyes was a light outline of where the black fabric had been. Robin sighed at his reflection as he set the cloth on the marble counter. This boy wonder would much rather be staring into a red haired aliens eyes. He Swore up and down that anyone could drown into those soft eyes. They seemed to be so caring and full of life. To be truthful they were one of one of his favorite f favorite features of hers, the one of many.

Not realizing it, he had put on his mask, made his way to his bed and opened up his dresser. There was his well-kept secret. In the drawer, he shuffled through clothes and socks. Finally, he reached the bottom of the drawer that looked to be endless. From there he pulled out a wood picture frame. Inside it was a medium size picture of star leaning against Robin's r-cycle just as she had when Cyborg and the team had visited titans east, defeated Brother Blood and where ready to head home. While she leaned against it she flashed a bright smile as the blinding grey flash hit her frame. One of her long arms was on the seat of the r-cycle the other was holding up a peace sign. This special picture was what star had given Robin for his birthday, a cruel joke from Cyborg and Beast Boy. They had purposely told her that they way to tell a person you were his friend was to send him a less than appropriate picture on his birthday. Still being her first year on earth Starfire nervously said yes to it. Luckily, before it could happen, Raven found out, she had put a stop to it the minute she found out. Star's had only one problem after it, which was it was three days before Robin's birthday and because of the whole picture dilemma she had yet to get him a present. Another one of her best girlfriends was more than happy to help her that was of course Bumblebee. She gave Star the idea to send out another picture that was more modest and that was how Robin got this picture in his hands now.

"Hey Rob get out here! I think I see a ship coming in." Cyborg yelled outside of Robin's door.

"Ok I'll be there in a minute." Robin replied as he quickly as he stuffed the princess's picture into his drawer.

As raven and he entered the common room it was like nothing they had ever seen before. The whole place had been cleaned. Leaving all of the room spotless, not a speck in sight. Inside the room was a streamer saying, "welcome alien friends". All around them were light purple and green flags in a row hanging straight across from each other.

In the middle of the room stood two titan boys. Both looking sheepish and straight at the floor. Quietly Beast Boy dug his toes into the grey carpet shaking his ankle a little bit to create a slow motion as his hands fiddled with each other behind his back. Cyborg on the other hand was quite sure about their idea. Flashing his friends a big smile as they entered the room he held up his mechanic arm as if to unveil something as the astonished looks grew on their faces.

"Whoa guys! You did all this?" Robin asked as he moved through the room in as slow place, his head never leaving the view of the decorations.

"Yep dude, I set the blueprints and grass stain here flew up and put them up."

"Wow Beast Boy I never knew you had the compassion to do something like this for Star." Raven said in her usual monotone, she came over to stand beside him and enjoy the view from a far.

A sly smirk formed on Beast Boys face as he heard her comment, "Hey I have many sides to my self Rae… and extremely sexy is one of them." He playfully nudged her in the side.

Looking unfazed Raven rolled her eyes and with a swish of her wrist sent a pot possessed by black energy at him. He ducked just in time to have it pass by his head, almost colliding with it by an inch or so.

"Hey what gave you the idea for green and purple?" Robin asked as if he hadn't heard what the others were saying at all.

"Well you know man, when star was going to marry that crazy green blob thing and I went looking for the crews with bb here I had time to explore the whole palace looking for them."

"We found out that the whole thing was decorated in these colors!" Beast Boy added in.

"So I thought we should make it a little more you know homey for them."

"Good plan guys, but by the way has anyone seen star?" Robin asked as he finally stopped roaming the room.

All three titans shock there heads. "I haven't seen her since I took a shower, this morning."

"So Robin what exactly were you to doing before you took a shower?" Cyborg asked with that all too familiar smirk placed across his lips. Beside him Beast Boy had turned around and put his hands on his shoulders while making kissing sounds towards the group.

"That doesn't matter now," raven said dully as she pulled Robin back by his elbows from beating his friends up. "Just go check the roof, you two always seems to get up there during the day."

With one final sigh Robin let himself calm down as he headed for the door.

"Don't going looking for your girlfriend to long boy wonder." Cyborg pointed out to get another rise out of Robin.

"Just go." Raven commanded as she placed a light hand over her friend's mouth to shut him up.
