Day Four
Party
Robin let a smile slide onto his face as he watched Beastboy walk out of the kitchen. Last night was amazing and Guilt seemed to have backed off a bit since their kiss. So Robin took this time to sip a hot cup of coffee and enjoy the daily crossword. "Man, what's got you so high this morning?" The masked teen knew without looking the source of the voice belong to his best friend Cyborg. The mechanical man wore a cheesy grin. Robin let his eyes fall onto Beastboy. The small green Titan smiled sweetly at the masked teen as he headed towards his room and Robin smiled bigger. Cyborg eyed his friend suspiciously and raised his eyebrow looking towards the hall that Robin stared so ecstatically at. "Dude?" Cyborg's voice sounded worried and Beastboy wasn't quite sure why. Robin sighed and ran a hand through his dark hair. "I'm just happy right this moment." The masked teen let the words leave his mouth with a smile. He looked up at his mechanical friend for the first time since the conversation began and quickly his smile dissipated. Robin was surprised. Cyborg seemed almost sad. The masked teen hadn't noticed how much his friend had aged. The frown he wore seemed like a permanent fixture on his face. "Wow he looks so old." The familiar voice was close and for the first time since last night Robin turned to look at Guilt. The doppelganger sat on the counter next to Cyborg as he examined the mechanical man. "If you were actually a good friend you would ask him how he is." Robin was shocked by the sincerity in Guilt's voice. Then again Robin knew That Cyborg and Beastboy had a special bond. The masked teen imagined it was the closest thing to a brotherly bond he would ever see. With that in mind Robin decided that just this once he would take Guilt's advice and ask. "Cy...You seem down." Robin said. Cyborg eyed his morning companion and Robin realized that was a statement and not a question. Another sigh escaped his lips. "I mean...Are you alright?" Cyborg seemed to relax his shoulders and began to fiddle with his coffee. "I'm just not ready for tonight." Cyborg's voice seemed distant and Robin took that as a cue to stop the conversation. The masked teen figured Cyborg needed some space before tonights mechanical man had reminded Robin he needed to get out and find a gift for Starfires birthday party anyway. With a quick nod to Cyborg Robin grabbed his coffee and headed out the door.
Robin had spent hours searching for the perfect gift for Starfire. He had ventured into 9 stores and it had took him 3 hours to find it. But the masked teen finally had the perfect gift. A purple and white scarf. It was perfect. Robin had even put it in a lilac scented beautifully wrapped box. The red and white floral wrapped box was safely snug in his arms, and a smile was plastered on his face as he headed for home. A sigh left his lips when he felt the first drop of rain hit his head and quickly he headed for the Titans tower in the pouring rain. It seemed to Robin that the rain would never give up. He sighed once again and ran towards the tower. When Robin arrived everyone had settled in the livingroom. Cyborg and Raven had found a nice spot on the couch while they listened to Starfire talk while she floated in the center of the room. When Robin had spotted the alien he just couldn't wait to give her the gift he held protectively in his arms. "Star!" Robin said excitedly as he handed her the bright colored box. The alien girl looked perplexed at the box but smiled sheepishly at her masked companion. Quickly she glanced to the couch where the other Titans sat and when Raven shrugged her small shoulders Starfire began to unwrap the gift. The paper slowly fell off the box and the Alien princess seemed hesitant to reach inside. Finally shes slowly removed the lid and let her pale hand slip in to retrieve the item. Starfire smiled as she pinched the silky purple and white material. "It reminds me of Beastboy." She whispered quietly to the silent room. Starfire let her thoughts wander forgetting the other teens in the room. "I've been thinking about him a lot lately." Robin said with a smile as he glanced to the green changeling who had perched himself in a chair. "So much for her surprise party. Star walked in while we were decorating! She came in 5 minutes to 6" Robin soaked up Beastboy's voice before he delivered an answer. His eyes finally left Beastboy and found a way back to Starfire who was still admiring her scarf. "Well...Happy Birthday anyway Star." Robin suddenly felt awkward as soon as the words left his mouth all eyes fell on him. Star stopped looking at the scarf immediately and her hands began to shake. "Hmmm...You sure know how to kill a mood..." Guilt squeaked out from next to him.. Robin had almost forgot about him."Ohhh pay attention. You'll love this next part." The masked teen turned to glare at the doppelganger and instead came face to face with a hurt looking Starfire. "Robin...What do you think is going on here?" She asked unsure if she wanted to know the answer. "Uhhhh...The surprise party Beastboy planed for you?" Robin hadn't planned on it coming out as a question but given what Starfire had asked he didn't know how else to say it. "Beastboy?" Starfire's voice was now shaky too. "Robin...Beastboy is dead." Starfires words sounded very small and broken and she couldn't help the tears that escaped her green eyes. Robin was speechless and confused as he looked to the sitting green teen mere feet away. Beatboy looked even more hurt and confused then Robin did. "HA! You should see your face." Guilt giggled out as he pointed to the masked teen. "You're so lost in that screwball head of yours." Robin quickly closed the gap between him and Beastboy and began to point at the youngest member of The Teen Titans. "He's right there!" Robin hadn't meant to shout and he could tell by the horror stricken faces of the rest of his team that he had been yelling. Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire looked at each other emotion rich in their faces. Cyborg was the first to speak. "Dick." The mechanical man whispered out. Robin's ears perked to the use of his real name. "No ones sitting in that chair." Robin looked to Beastboy once again. A sad look had decorated the little green teens face. "Robin...I'm scared." Beastboy finally whispered. Robin slowly reached out and caressed the changelings face. The green teen rubbed his face against Robins palm and quietly began to weep. The masked teen looked to his friends who were left speechless. "He's right...here." Robin's voice was barely audible as he fell to his knees in front of Beastboy. "Right here." "Would you look at you. A crumbled mess on the floor. And all it took was falling in love." Guilt sounded more then pleased with himself. Robin was too busy staring at the real Beastboy to noticed the fake one had taken up residence in the chair next to the couple. "Robin...Are you okay." Raven asked causing Robin to rip his eyes off of the green teen. Raven began to approach her masked friend with caution. Ever so gently as to not upset her friend any more than he was Raven placed a reassuring hand on Robins shoulder. Robin couldn't help his erratic breathing. "I...I Don't know...I can't breath." Robin said to the dark clad witch. The masked teen heard Guilt sigh behind him. Robin was much too distracted to hear Raven's muffled words to him. But he did manage to hear Guilt's. Infact Guilt's words rang loud and clear. "Aww poor little Robin." The doppelgangers voice was thick with spite." I know! I'll put you out of your misery." Robin never had the chance to look up and see what Guilt had met. By the time the masked teen looked over towards the source of the voice he was smacked upside his head with something large and hard. The pain in his head was more intense than he was used to and within a second he was on the ground. Robin's eyesight began to blur. The teen hero had been knocked out enough times to know it was about to be lights out. Guilt's disturbing voice rang out in his head as sleep engulfed him. "Night, night little bird." Even though Robin's eyes were shut he could still see the eerie smile plastered on Guilt's pretty little face.
