Wow! That's all I can say. Wow! I never dreamed this fic would be so well liked! A big thanks to Nevermore Forevermore Titan, Vandagirl519(Yet another person who thinks my fic is cute! Yay!), theKRITIC, Dark Knightress, StarfireFowl, and mdizzle. You guys rock! And now, I shall give a quick reply to some reviews.
Nevermore Forevermore Titan: I'm really glad you liked that part. "It's Licking me!!"
Vandagirl519: I may use a song from Phocahontes andor Aladin, but I'm not yet sure how.
theKRITIC: I may have Starfire sing "Reflection" after she gets her voice back, but I'm not sure.
Dark Knightress: Thanks a lot for the compliments. I have to say though, Draco is my favorite character from this story, (Mainly because he's slightly modeled after me.) and Beastboy is my favorite character from the show. Also, I haven't really seen Mary Poppins in a long time. I just had some random Disney songs on CD and I needed a song to start the story with, so there it is. p.s. I am glad to tell you that it doesn't cost a thing to put up stories. There are certain things you can sighn up for which cost money, but they really aren't necessary. p.s. again, I really like your pen name.
mdizzle: Thanks once again for the compliment. I'm beginning to think it's true! I would accept anonymous reviews, but I'm not yet sure how to do it. Sorry.
Belive it or not, I've been waiting to do this chapter for awhile! Hope ya enjoy it!
(I don't own Teen Titans or the songs sung in this fic.)

Blackfire once again stood in front of the mirror. (Don't ask me how she managed to wake up and leave before anyone noticed her.) She asked the mirror the same question. "Mirror, mirror, of Linall, now who is the fairest of them all?"
"I don't wanna say." The mirror replied.
"What? Why not?"
"Because you'll just get mad at me, and I hate it when we fight."
"(Sigh) If I promise not to get mad, will you tell me?"
"Hmm… I guess if you promise, why not?"
"Well?"
"If you promise not to get mad, I'll tell you that… Raven is now fairer than you."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!?"
"Hey, you said you wouldn't get mad!"
"Oh I was lying you stupid hunk of glass!!"
"Hey! You think I'm a hunk?"
"GGGRRRRRR!!!"
"Whoa, calm down Blackfire, you're foaming at the mouth! And I am not taking you in for rabies shots!"
"Mirror! Tell me how to deal with this!!"
"First of all: My name isn't Mirror, it's Melvin, and I'd appreciate if you would call me by my name."
"Grrr, fine! Melvin, will you please tell me what I need to do?"
"Well, okay. But only cause ya asked so nicely."
Meanwhile, back at Titans Tower, (Are ya noticing a pattern here?) Starfire was still having trouble with her lack of voice. Cyborg had explained to her that it was just laryngitis and that it would go away eventually, but her voice never seemed to get better. She decided to see if she might have some kind of alien disease. But as she was looking through her Big Book of Outer Space Diseases/Curses, (The "Curses" part was just coincidence) She noticed something very important.
She ran up to the couch where Cyborg and Beastboy were playing video games. She tapped Cyborg on the shoulder and handed him the book. "Huh, what's this?" He asked, as he paused the game and read the page Starfire pointed to. "It says, 'The Amulet of Karnox 12 has the power to steal anyone's voice and curse them to an eternal silence.' What about it?" Starfire pointed to her throat. "Star, I think you're over-reacting. I doubt this amulet thing is why you've lost your voice. You've just got laryngitis or something like that." Starfire pointed at the next paragraph so Cyborg read some more. "'This amulet is the only thing in existence able to cause a Tamaranian to lose their voice. If a Tamaranian loses their voice, it is definitely not laryngitis or something like that.' Well I'll be a monkey's uncle!"
"Dude," Said Beastboy. "How are we gonna cure her?"
"Well, the book says that the only way to lift the amulet's curse is with a kiss. But who's gonna kiss her?"
"I don't know. Do you know Star?" Starfire's face lit up. She ran to the window and brought back a robin which she pointed at enthusiastically. "You're gonna kiss the bird?" Starfire shook her head angrily. Then she grabbed a life-size cardboard cutout of Robin. "Oh! You're gonna kiss Robin!" Starfire gave a thumbs-up. "Hey, why do you have a cardboard cutout of Robin?" Starfire blushed.
"Never mind that," Said Cyborg. "We've gotta figure out how to get Robin to kiss Starfire. Luckily, I happen to be an expert in these matters."
"An expert?"
"Yeah. I did a good job last night, didn't I? By the way, where's Terra?"
"Oh, she's still asleep. She had quite a night last night."
"Oh. Well anyway, let's start plannin' for Operation: Get Robin to Kiss Starfire so She Can Get Her Voice Back!"
"Nice name for the operation. But couldn't we just tell Robin he has to kiss Starfire?"
"Well, we could do it the easy way. But I'd prefer doing it the difficult way!"
Later, after sunset, Starfire and Robin took a moonlight stroll around the island.
"It sure is a beautiful night for a stroll," Said Robin. "Isn't it Starfire?" Starfire nodded. "I sure do hope your voice comes back soon Star, I kinda miss your singing."
Meanwhile, Cyborg and Beastboy were hiding behind a bush, watching the whole thing.
"I still think it would be easier to just tell him about the whole situation." Said Beastboy.
"SHHH!" Cyborg scolded.
"Sorry, it's just that we've been out here for fifteen minutes and nothing's happening."
"Hmm, maybe if there was some romantic music…"
"I'm way ahead of ya Cy. I'll just sing a romantic little tune for them and those two will be sucking face before you can say 'breath-mint'!"
Beastboy turned into a bird and flew up into the tree (Yes, it's that tree again) where he started to "sing"
"Laaa, la la la la laaaa! La la la laaaa!"
Cyborg and Starfire covered their ears, while Robin just commented, "Yeesh! I wonder what's dying."
"Aw man," Said Cyborg. "I shoulda known he was going to screw this up! Well, if ya want somethin' done right, ya gotta do it yourself. Which means… I FINALLY GET TO SING!!" Cyborg cleared his throat, while music once again came out of nowhere. He took an old stick and held it like a microphone as he began to sing. "There you see her, standin' there across the way. She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her. And ya don't know why but you're dying to try, you wanna kiss the girl." Robin wasn't sure why, but all of a sudden he had the urge to look deeply into Starfire's eyes, and she did the same. "Yes, you want her. Look at her, you know you do. Possible she wants you, too. There is one way to ask her. It don't take a word, not a single word. Go on and kiss the girl." Cyborg was beginning to have fun, and the birds and fish nearby began to sing along. "Sha la la la la la, my oh my, looks like the boy's too shy. Ain't gonna kiss the girl. Sha la la la la la, ain't that sad? Ain't it a shame? Too bad, He's gonna miss the girl."
"Is it just me," Asked Robin. "Or do you hear music too?" Starfire just shrugged her shoulders. "Huh, it sounds like someone is singing clearly enough to be heard, but I only barely noticed it. Oh well, it doesn't really matter. You want to sit down?" Starfire nodded, so the sat down on a rock. "You know, I'm not sure why, but for some reason tonight I feel really close to you. Star, do you feel the same?" Starfire nodded again, then they just looked into each other's eyes again.
Cyborg continued singing. "Now's your moment, sittin' near a blue lagoon. Boy ya better do it soon, no time will be better. She don't say a word and she won't say a word until ya kiss the girl." Once again the birds and fish sang along. "Sha la la la la la, don't be scared. You got the mood prepared, go on and kiss the girl. Sha la la la la la, don't stop now. Don't try to hide it, how you wanna kiss the girl. Sha la la la la la, float along and listen to the song. The song says kiss the girl. Sha la la la la la, the music play, do what the music say. You gotta kiss the girl…"Robin and Starfire drew closer."You've gotta kiss the girl…"They closed their eyes."Don't you wanna kiss the girl…"Their lips almost touched."You've gotta kiss the girl…"Cyborg shook Beastboy by the neck because the suspense was killing him."GO ON AND…"He shouted."…Kiss the girl…"
But just before their lips could touch, they were interrupted by an explosion. They turned to see a nearby bush burnt to ashes, revealing Cyborg holding Beastboy by the neck. "Uh oh." They both said when they realized their cover had been blown.
"Whew!" Said Blackfire, as she hovered unseen overhead. "That was a close one. Now, on to Raven!" She flew towards the window.
"Um, guys…" Said Robin. "What were you doing in that bush?"
"Would you believe I was singing?" Cyborg replied.
Starfire nearly cried. Not only had she missed the chance to get her voice back, but she had also missed the chance to kiss Robin!
