(AN:) Here, we're back to rating K! Everyone is married here, Robin is now Nightwing and Beast Boy is Changeling. There no kids, and I think that's about it...

"Galfore please!" Starfire yelled.
"You are a princess of this planet, Koriand'r, and it is almost your job to take over the thrown!" Galfore argued.
"If you have forgotten, my home is down on Earth where Nightwing and all my friends are. I am married now and it will be very hard to leave everyone," Starfire explained.
"You grew up here and you can come back with ease. This is the end of the conversation," Galfore said before walking back inside the castle, leaving Starfire out in the balcony, crying. She dug her head in her hands before zooming back into space. She stops in the middle, looking down from Earth back to Tamaran, tears still running down her cheeks.
Slowly, Starfire floats back to Earth, thinking of a way to break the news to everyone, especially her husband. She arrives in front of the Titans Tower and walks in, hearing no one.
The Common Room doors open, and Starfire walks in, but doesn't find her friends where they should be. She turns around and quietly sobs as she walks down the hallway, heading to her room. As she gets closer to Changeling and Raven's room, the door opens, startling her.
"Starfire, what's wrong?" Raven asked, yawing as she rubs one eye.
"Yeah, Honey, what's bothering you?" Bumblebee stepped out of her room she shared with Cyborg now. She let out a small yawn also.
"Raven, Bumblebee, forgive me. I did not mean to wake you up from your nap," Starfire said, quickly wiping her tears away.
"No problem. Now, what's bothering you?" Raven stepped out of her room, closing the door behind her.
"Do you know where Nightwing is?"
"He, Cyborg and Changeling went to the grocery store; it's the guys turn. Now, stop changing to subject and tell us what's wrong." Bumblebee said, walking out of the room and leaning against the wall.
"Nothing is the matter. Please, go back to your nap," Starfire quickly said as she zoomed away. Raven, having fast reflexes, grabbed her arm.
"Starfire, we've been friends since forever that now you're more like my sister. I can tell something is bothering you and won't be fine until you are."
Starfire stood still for a few minutes, the tears starting to fall out of her eyes again. She breathes, saying, "Perhaps you should get your guitar and meet me on the roof where I will explain."
Raven nodded her head, even though she couldn't have seen. She let go of her hand, and quickly ran back inside the room as Starfire walked away with Bumblebee holding onto her shoulder with one arm around it, heading up as she promised she would. Raven took the guitar in her hands before flying out the window and up to the roof. Starfire and Bumblebee already beat her there to it, sitting on the edge with her feet swinging and her eyes closed. Raven landed next to Bumblebee, sitting down.
"So, what do you need me to play, Star?" Raven asked, setting the guitar on her lap.
"An A minor to G to C and F, please," Starfire instructed, her eyes still closed.
"Is that a song you just created?" Bumblebee asked before Raven started to play.
Starfire shook her head, "I have heard it on the radio this morning while I was cooking."
"So then why do you want me to play it?"
"It best explains my problem which I hope that will be solved."
"Whatever it is, I know we will fix it," Bumblebee said. Raven cracked a small smile in agreement before finally starting to strum the chords Starfire said.
"Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window."
Bumblebee gasped, she heard of this song before and knew what it meant by the singer, Kelly, was saying. She then knew Starfire was talking about her home planet. Something must have happened there, that would be the reason why she wants to sing about it.
"Dreaming of what could be and if I'd end up happy I would pray."
Starfire started rocking side to side, along with the strumming and rhythm she used as she sung.
"Trying hard to reach out, but when I'd try to speak out felt like no one could hear me."
Raven remembered that was the same thing she felt when she was little and living back in Azarath. She smiled a little, also remembering the song she sang that Changeling heard back when they were just dating. (No one – chapter 1)
"Wanted to belong there, but something felt so wrong there, so I would pray I could breakaway."
Raven stopped playing. "Starfire, did Galfore tell you something when you went back to Tamaran this morning?"
Starfire nodded, "He said it is soon time for me to take the thrown."
"WHAT?!" Raven and Bumblebee screamed together.
"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky. And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway," Starfire continued to sing without the music. Raven then continued to strum. Bumblebee covered her mouth with her hand, shocked at the news.
"Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget all the ones that I loved. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway."
Starfire knew this couldn't be the end of her days on Earth. There had to be something she could do to have Galfore change his mind, but what?
She opened her eyes; looking out at the city as she sang, "Wanna feel the warm breeze. Sleep under a palm tree. Feel the rush of the ocean. Get onboard a fast train. Travel on a jet plane, far away and breakaway."
Nightwing, Changeling and Cyborg opened the roof top door, walking in one by one. They heard Raven playing her guitar from outside, so they followed it to up here. They smiled, seeing the girls hanging out together, but their smiles turns into frowns when they hear what Starfire is singing.
"I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky. And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway. Out of the darkness and into the sun. I won't forget all the ones that I loved. I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway."
She stands up, explaining the next part of the lyrics with hand motion.
"Buildings with a hundred floors, swinging 'round revolving doors. Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but gotta keep moving on, moving on. Fly away, breakaway."
Starfire stops, looking out at the city, quiet. Raven keeps strumming, but Bumblebee gets up and places a hand on her shoulder. The three guys still stand where they are, near the door, not knowing if they should tell the girls they're here or not.
Starfire then sings quietly for the rest of the song, still standing with Bumblebee's hand on her shoulder, "I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway."
"Starfire-"Nightwing began saying, but Cyborg stopped him. Nightwing looked over at him, seeing Cyborg shake his head. Nightwing sighed, waiting until the song was over.
"Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget the place I come from. I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway."
"Breakaway."
Nightwing looked over at Cyborg, who this time nodded his head. Slowly, he walked towards the girls, making sure they didn't see him with the two other guys following right behind him.
"Breakaway."
"Do you want to explain what's going on, Starfire?" Nightwing asked, standing behind the three girls. They jumped, turning around the same time and seeing their husbands standing there.
"How long have you three been standing there?" Bumblebee asked.
"At the part where Starfire was saying she wasn't going to forget some stuff here," Changeling filled in, his pointer finger in the air like he used to do when he was younger.
"Where are you going and why?" Cyborg asked.
"Back to my home planet to become Queen of Tamaran from what I have heard," Starfire mumbled, a little loud enough for the three guys to hear her.
"Queen of Tamaran?! By yourself?! No way, you are not going, not leaving Earth, not quitting the team!" Nightwing started freaking out, jumping all over the place.
"Nightwing, there is nothing I can do. If Galfore said so, then it must be done. No one can argue whether they like the new idea or not."
"Yes there is! You're a part of this planet now, and here, you're supposed to do what you want, not whatever someone else tells you too. If you're heart is telling you have to stay here, then that's what you must do. Unless, if you're heart is saying-"
"Oh, Nightwing, you know it is not saying that such thing! I do really want to stay here with you and everyone else, but how shall I tell Galfore if he won't listen to me?"
"Leave that, to us," The others said together, smiling at each other. Starfire and Nightwing looked at them confused, not having a clue on what the four of them were thinking.
(AN:) And this will continue on to the next chapter! After that, then I'll start with the song request I might get!
