Well, here is another update! so far, I have recieved several reviews (and threats) complaining that there was no song in the last chapter. But I have good news: There will be a song in this chapter! this should make all you readers (and psychotic weirdos) very happy! I am glad to anounce that the winner of the "Meet the Tree" contest is... ME!

Readers and Titans: BOOOOOOO!

Aw shut up!Anyway, it has come to my attention that some of you don't like my DrakeRae BbTerra pairings. All I can say to this is, TOUGH! I happen to like BbTerra a lot, and I also like Drake Rae! Hate me if you want, but don't hate my story!

Raven: They don't hate your story. They just hate you.

They do? Oh good. Anyway,I had a MelvinBlackfire pairing in the last chapter which was meant to be a joke, but it seems my joke has become a popular pairing! Nothing like ajoke to make a memorable couple! And nowon to the part where I reply to your reviews! (This could take awhile.)

Another Lone Ranger: You're welcome, and thanks. I will update as fast as I can.

LostChickenWednesday723: How did you think of that name? I LOVE IT! I'm still glad you love my story, but I'm still sad you hate Terra. (HASN'T SHE SUFFERED ENOUGH?) Thanks for reviewing anyway! p.s. I read your story, and it is very sad. Good... but sad.

Enelya Tasartir: YAY COOKIES! (Gobble up cookies.) Thank you very much! I like your muses Drake and Rocker. All three of you ROCK!

Drigon: I hope I'm not killing you. I wouldn't last in prison. I'M INNOCENT I TELL YA!

Gwenevere, Queen of Slytherin: (bows) My Queen, I thank thee for this review. And I am happy to announce that I shall indeed use "A Whole New World" Which should make you happy. (Unless you don't like DrakeRae either.)

Serenyty: Well, I'm continuing. p.s. Draco came from my own twisted mind. I hope you like him.

Mark: Your wish is my command! (Well, at least as far as asking me to have Bb sing "Bear Neccessities")

mdizzle: I'm always happy to make my readers happy. Thanks for your great reviews! p.s. I love your stories.

RabidPumpkinMonkeyGoddess: Nice name. Are you worshipped by rabid pumpkins, or rabid monkeys? Thanks for the review.

Nevermore Forevermore Titan: I'm a big headed artist? That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me! I hope you like this chapter! (Especially since it has a song from Mulan.) p.s. Sorry the Titans hate you. if it makes you fell any better, I like you.

jj-monster: I'm glad you liked the last chapter and I am happy that I could give you a well needed laugh.

Ami-chan-friend-of-M.E.Pal: I'm sorry for the lack of song in the last chapter. I hope you like this one. I may use "It's A Small World" but I'm not sure. I'm not familiar with "The Phantom of The Opera" song. could you maybe E-mail me the lyrics, or tell me what it's from? (I'm betting it's from that new Phantom of The Opera movie, right?)

M.E.Pal: I do like RaeBb a lot, but I just thought I should give Terra and Draco a part in this cause I love 'em so much. Maybe someday I'll write a DrakeTerra story, would you like that? probably not, huh? Anyways, I promise to write some BbRae stories for you very soon. p.s. HAHAHAHA! You think I'm copying thatone episode! HAHA! I promise, this will be WAAAAAY different. Don't worry, I won't ever stop writing, no matter how bad the critics like you get. (But as far as critics go, you're okay.)

TtitansFan: Don't worry, all will be well. SO COMMANDS TSUKIRYOUSHI! I'm sorry Melvin and Blackfire creeped you out, but just be glad you aren't in either of their shoes!

teentitanstruefriend: WHAT? You don't know who the tree is? You'd better go back and read the whole story over! (By the way, thanks for the review.)

LZ: AHH! HERE'S ANOTHER CHAPTER! PLEASE DON'T WHIP ME WITH YOUR BRACES! I'M SCARED OF DENTISTRY!

DarkDeamon3: Thanks for correcting me about that, I won't make the same mistake twice!

StarfireFowl: Just because you like the MelvinBlackfire pairing doesn't mean your mind is messed up... much. At least your mind isn't as messed up as mine. After all, I'm the one who thought it up!

shadow0015: Nope, the Tree isn't a Chinese basketball player. But feel free to keep guessing! As to my claiming this story would be bad, I simply made a mistake. No reason to call me a liar! I'm glad you liked the story, but I doubt it's good enough to send to the makers of the show. Thanks anyway for the idea! p.s. Sorry about the error in spelling on my part. I'll be fixing it soon. "When I was a young Beastboooooy!"

Well, enough of my ramblings! Enjoy the story!

(I don't own Teen Titans or any songs sung in this story.)


It had been two days since Starfire had left for Tameran, and Robin had literally worn a hole in the floor from pacing.

"Calm down Robin," Said Cyborg. "You've been pacing for two days strait. You haven't even eaten or slept!"

"Can't calm down…" Robin replied, sounding only half alive. "Must keep pacing till Star gets back."

"Robin, you're over-reacting." Said Raven. "This isn't that big a deal."

"ISN'T THAT BIG A DEAL?" Robin stopped pacing for the first time in forty-eight hours. "STARFIRE HAS BEEN CALLED BACK TO TAMERAN TO CHOOSE A HUSBAND AND YOU SAY IT ISN'T THAT BIG A DEAL?"

"Chill out Robin," Said Cyborg. "Don't you remember what Starfire said before she left?"

(Flashback)

"Do not worry friends," Said Starfire, as she prepared to leave. "I will merely go to Tameran and speak to my parents. I have no doubt that they will understand that I do not wish to get married yet, and all will be well."

(End of flashback)

"Yes Cyborg," Robin replied. "I remember what she said. We all remember what she said. So why did you bring up that flashback?"

"I had to." Said Cyborg. "It was the only way the readers would know why we didn't go with her."

"Readers? What readers?"

Draco whispered to Robin. "He thinks we're in some kind of 'fan-fic'."

"Oh."

"Anyway…" Raven continued. "She told us she would convince her parents to let her stay on Earth and not make her get married, so that's what she'll do. Now, can you please relax?"

"I guess so." Robin replied, sounding defeated.

"You wanna know something weird?" Said Beastboy. "I don't think we've ever even heard about Star's parents before. Even when we were on Tameran, we never saw them. And if Starfire was next in line for the throne of Tameran, then how come they're not ruling right now? Were they ruling before Blackfire took control? And if not them, then who was?" Everyone just stared at him. "What? I'm just asking a simple question."

Meanwhile, Starfire was already flying back to Titans Tower. She was in a somber mood as she drew near the tower, because, despite all her pleading, her parents had told her that she must either marry someone they had already picked out for her, or she would no longer be a Tamaranian citizen. It was all because of an ancient Tamaranian law which Starfire's parents had no choice but to obey, no matter how cruel it was. (Ancient laws can be pretty stupid sometimes, can't they?)

Starfire had finally arrived at Titans Tower, but did not go inside. She felt too sad to see her friends yet… and she did not know how she would tell them the terrible news.

She landed on the ground next to the tree, which she leaned on for support while she cried.

"What am I to do?" She sobbed. "I do not want to marry someone I've never even met and leave Earth, but I do not wish to lose Tameran and my family either." Wow, that's sad. "Yes, it is. But the worst part is, I am torn between my love for my friends, and my love for my family. I do not even know who I am. What am I to do?" Well Star, you could sing a song! Singing always seems to help in some odd and convenient way! (And besides, I didn't have a song in the last chapter, and it's made people mad.) "Hmm, perhaps you are right."

I nod, until I hear sad music coming from nowhere. Now all I can say is, aw man! Things have just gone from sad to all-out depressing!

Starfire sang. "Look at me; I will never pass for a perfect bride… or a perfect daughter. Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?" She walked over to a little pond. "Now I see that if I were truly to be myself, I would break my family's heart." She looked at her reflection in the water. "Who is that girl I see, staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection someone I don't know?" She stared out toward the ocean. "Somehow I cannot hide who I am, though I've tried. When will my reflection show who I am inside?" She knelt down next to the pond and lowered her head in sorrow. "When will my reflection show… who I am… inside?" Well, did that help? "…NO! I AM SADDER THAN EVER! WHAAAHAHAHA!"

Starfire was too busy crying to notice Robin walk up behind her. "Um, I was going to welcome you back Star," He said. "But I can see you're busy having an episode."

"Robin?" Starfire turned around to face him. "How did you know I was here?"

"I heard the music and followed it out here."

"Oh. Forgive me Robin, but I do not wish to see you right now. I am too sad."

"About what?"

"My parents told me that I must marry someone they have chosen for me, or else I will no longer be a Tamaranian citizen." Didn't I already say that?

"Oh no." Robin sat down next to Starfire. "That's terrible. How could they do this to you?"

"It is the way of my people Robin. They are only doing what they must… as will I."

"Star, you aren't going to go through with this are you?"

"I have no choice. Karras, the man my parents chose for me to marry, will be here in a few weeks to meet me."

"Well, isn't there any way you can get out of this?"

"No. The only way would be for Karras to choose not to marry me, and then he would have to give my father a good reason for his decision."

"I see. Wait a minute! That's it!"

"What?"

"If we could convince this guy that you would be happier here on Earth, he may decide to call the whole thing off. And then he can tell your dad that he made that decision for your happiness. That would work, wouldn't it?"

"Hmm… I believe it might! Robin, you are so intelligent! I am very lucky to have you as a friend!"

"And I'm lucky to have a friend like you Starfire. Now come on, let's go inside so you can see everyone. They've missed you."

Starfire nodded happily. Maybe things weren't so depressing after all. "Yes, even after you made me sing a song!" Oh let it go Starfire! Besides, you were the one who sang that sad song. It wasn't my fault! (Or was it?)

Anyway, back to the story!

Deep within a hidden lair, a certain villain was talking to his minions.

"Now my students," Said Brother Blood. "We are finally ready for our greatest undertaking. Soon you shall take control of Titans Tower, and I shall finally have my revenge! Are you ready for battle my students?"

"Yes Headmaster," Said Jinx, as she, Mammoth, and Gizmo stood before him. "We are ready." The three villains left.

"Excellent," Brother Blood continued. "With the new weapons I have created, my students shall be victorious. And the Teen Titans shall finally fall!"


Ooooh, a cliff-hanger! Terra hates those ya know. Sorry about the song bein' so short, but that's all I had to work with. Well, I'll make it up to ya next time with AN EXTRA LONG CHAPTER! But only if I get some reviews. In the meantime, I have a surprise for all of you!
