Yay the 21st chapter of the story! Well personally I don't see the special thing about that much whatever. I hope this was a faster update! Warning: Serious chapter…sort of.
It was dark and silent in the corridors of titan's tower. The common room was silent, the training room was silent, and most of the bedrooms were silent. The occasional person creeping towards the bathroom or the wind sometimes broke the silence but not by much. However during this quiet night, Emily had her phone up against her ear and was talking quietly to someone.
"No I am not returning to live on Tamaran," Emily said down the phone.
"Please Emily!" pleaded a feminine voice from the other side.
"Mother, you said it yourself- I can stay on Earth,"
"But Emily-,"
"Please. I'm a big girl now you know," Emily sighed. Her mother, who she was apparently talking to, chuckled lightly from the other side of the phone.
"Emily…why can't you visit,"
"But you'll make me stay!"
"How will I do that?"
"You have your tricks mother,"
"Fine…"
"What reason should I come anyway?"
"Well…we miss you a lot and-,"
"Mother I've been away a few months so how come you're suddenly missing me now?"
"I-,"
"And everyone is ok over there-," Emily was interrupted in the middle of her sentence.
"Your father's ill!" her mother suddenly blurted out. Then there was a weird sound which seemed like her mother was cupping her hand over her mouth. Emily's emotion changed from annoyed to scared and worried.
"What? Why didn't you tell me before?" Emily gasped softly.
"I am sorry…that didn't come out properly. What I mean to say was-,"
"Don't worry mother I am coming to Tamaran as soon as possible!" and Emily hung up the phone without a goodbye. Ah well her mother would understand.
** ** ** ** **
A few hours later Emily was walking down the corridors while pulling a small suitcase along with her. She didn't fly because her emotions were keeping her down and they were down. Thinking of all the Tameraen diseases her father had, she exited Titans Tower. She looked at the night sky which seemed uninviting for the sake that it seemed so large and so overwhelming. Right before she was about to take off Emily heard someone call her name.
"Emily?" a girl called. Emily turned around. No it wasn't Starfire, it was Raven.
"Raven?" Emily said. "What are you doing here?"
"The same question I want to ask you," Raven said.
"How did you find me?" Emily asked forgetting about Raven's abilities.
"I felt something going wrong which woke me up. Then I heard something roll across the floor and then I saw you when I came out of my room," Raven explained.
"Oh right," Emily nodded understanding.
"So would you mind telling why you're leaving?"
"Would you mind telling why you're dating Beast Boy?" Emily said back. Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Don't change the subject," she said firmly. Emily sighed.
"Raven tell the others in the morning…"
"Tell what?"
"I'm…I'm leaving for Tamaran," Emily said after hesitating. Raven's expressions changed.
"Why? I thought you liked living here,"
"I do just," Emily sighed. "My father is ill and I need to go look after him with my mother."
"Do you know what disease?" Raven asked.
"No but-"
"Then how do you know if it's fatal?" Raven interrupted. Emily shook her head sadly.
"I can tell…my mother really wants me there,"
"Should I tell Starfire?" asked Raven.
"No…she will come after me. By morning I would have reached Tamaran…hopefully," Emily added. Raven nodded. Emily stepped back, nearing to the edge of the small island.
"Goodbye," she said and took off. When she was out of sight Raven spoke.
"Goodbye."
** ** ** ** **
The next morning, around eight, everyone was at the breakfast table talking about some events that happened yesterday. Raven was silent but she usually was so no one noticed. Most people didn't realise Emily was gone until Starfire spoke up.
"Friends, why has not Emily come to 'the breakfast table'?" everyone looked around to see if Emily was hiding anywhere for a joke. Kidflash even looked inside a plant pot to see if Emily was hiding in there. Then behind the sofa and then inside the T.V. Kidflash sure looked in the weirdest places.
"I didn't see her this morning," Aqualad said.
"She wasn't in the training room either," Robin added.
"I knocked on her door in the morning to see if she wanted to go running but she didn't answer. I thought she was asleep," Kidflash said coming back to his chair in a flash. Cos you know he would, it's in his name.
"She wasn't in the common room either,"
"Or the bathroom,"
"She's normally a morning person,"
"Raven?" Raven looked up at the sound of her voice. "Yeah?"
"Do you know Emily's whereabouts?" Starfire asked. Everyone turned to look at her.
"Yes,"
Everyone gasped uncontrollably. Ok fine they didn't.
"She's…gone to Tamaran," Raven started. Starfire gasped.
"Why did she depart without letting us know?" Starfire asked hurt.
"Her father's ill and she didn't want anyone to stop her especially Starfire," People started saying 'Yeah' and 'Yes' and stuff.
"Oh right…" Kidflash muttered shocked at the news.
"I do hope her father is the ok," Starfire said.
But it wasn't Emily's father she needed to worry about.
** ** ** ** **
On Tamaran…
After gliding through space at an immense speed, Emily reached the oh-so-familiar Tamaran. She walked over to the large doors of the grand tower where four guards were standing in front of. Emily waited until the doors started open. She expected to see a friendly face of Galfore but instead she saw another guard.
"Are you Emily Snow?" asked the guard in Tameraen.
"Yes I am," Emily replied also in the language. The guard nodded and let Emily inside. Galfore must be on break Emily thought. The guard led Emily through the gold, purple and green walls of the tower. They stopped in front of a large tall door, similar to the one that Starfire had for her bedroom on Tamaran. The guard opened the heavy looking door with ease and indicated Emily could go in. When Emily did enter the room there was no sign of any other living form.
"Mother?" she called. Her voice echoed slightly due to the emptiness of the room or 'house'. There were other doors present in the room which led to kitchens, bedrooms etc. which implied that Emily used to live here. Suddenly she heard rushing footsteps and then a figure entered the living room. And Emily was absolutely shocked by who it was.
"Emily! I'm so glad you're here!" her father said. Wait, her father!? I thought he was ill! Emily thought.
"Father…what…why…I thought you were ill!" Emily said lost for words.
"Ill? I'm not ill! Dear Galfore is," her father said sadly, shaking his head. What? Why did my mother say my father was ill? Was it just to get me to Tamaran? It better not be…Emily thought. Emily gasped.
"Galfore? Why did not my mother call Starfire?" asked Emily.
"She was too afraid Starfire might get too depressed and it may affect her life, she is very sensitive," her father explained. Emily nodded.
"Would you please take me to see mother?" asked Emily.
"I am right here Emily!" her mother exclaimed appearing out of nowhere.
"Mother! Why did you not tell me Galfore was sick?" asked Emily angrily.
"I am very sorry Emily…it is just that I wanted to tell you when you came here but I never convinced you to come. I suddenly came out with saying someone was sick but I did not want to say your father was," her mother explained sighing and regretting her mistakes.
"Ok…please can I see Galfore?"
** ** ** ** **
Titans Tower…
Starfire sat on the couch in the common room, bored. She was extremely affected after hearing that Emily's father was sick and Kidflash was a bit upset that Emily left for obvious reasons that you should know about. Cyborg and Beast Boy were playing on the game station or play station or whatever you call it. Allie was busy spending some time with Speedy, Raven was reading a book, Kole and Bumble Bee were out shopping, Robin was doing something that no body knew about in his room and Aqualad was busy taking a swim. Starfire was watching the game Cyborg and Beast Boy was playing but that didn't comfort her. Starfire sighed deeply which seemed to be the fifth time now. Raven, who was sitting nearby, was getting annoyed. Seriously.
"Starfire, what's wrong?" asked Raven monotonously.
"I am the bored and worried Raven. I do not know what to do!" Starfire explained.
"How about you read one of my books?" suggested Raven though she deeply regretted after she said that. Who knows what Starfire might do to the book if the story comes horrible?
"Really? I would like to read one of your books," Starfire nodded lighting up. Silently sighing, Raven got up and indicated Starfire to follow her.
** ** ** ** **
"Raven, please, may I have another book?" asked Starfire. They were currently in Raven's room, even though she doesn't let ANYONE in. ANYONE. Not even Beast Boy but that's pretty obvious because he'll probably mess up Raven's possessions in a millisecond. Raven looked up from her fat book.
"Starfire, that's the fifth time you have changed books, what's the matter?"
"Well…the books are too upsetting and there is no romance in them," Starfire said.
"Ok fine…" Raven took the book from Starfire's hands and replaced it with a pink coloured book. I bet Raven washed her hands after touching that.
"That's a romance book," Raven stated.
"Friend Raven, will you not mind me asking why do you have a romance book?" asked Starfire curious.
"You bought it for me from the bookshop," Raven answered.
"Oh…" Starfire started to read the book Raven had given her and Raven started reading her own.
** ** ** ** **
Emily and her parents were in Galfore's bedroom with Galfore lying on the large bed looking so pale. From his facial expression Emily could tell he was in pain. How would Starfire take this when she found out? Emily shrugged off the thought and asked her mother a question.
"What illness does Galfore have?"
"The Hornox Milliuem," her mother reluctantly whispered back. Emily held back a gasp.
"That's almost impossible to cure!" Emily said louder than she should have.
"Ssh! I know," her father sighed. "We are all extremely concerned and worried."
"I think you should be more than extremely concerned and worried," Emily said. After a moment, Emily's mother spoke up.
"Emily, let us go now and enjoy dinner," she whispered. She and Emily's father walked out silently and Emily, who was too shocked and worried to speak, followed.
** ** ** ** **
Emily poked at her sputflink (as seen in episode 29 of teen titans!) because she not very hungry. Who would be after hearing Galfore had Hornox Milliuem? Ok you guys would probably be like 'what the hell is Hornox Milliuem' so I'm going to tell you whether you like it or not so get your ear plugs ready (whether you like it or not).
Ahem…cough…cough…Hornox Milliuem causes swelling in the skin, coughing, vomiting, sneezing, weird allergies, pain in the privates, unable to talk and sometimes blindness which all added together makes you eventually die. Only one person survived this disease on Tamaran and his name was- I shouldn't tell you. No sorry that wasn't his name. Anyway back to the story…
"Emily?" Mrs. Snow asked. (I am going to use Mrs. Snow and Mr. Snow now because writing 'Emily's mother' or 'Emily's father' becomes a pain. No offence to the parents).
Emily looked up from her food of which she didn't really like even when she was on Tamaran.
"Don't you like the food?"
"Yes," Emily lied using her common sense not to say 'No' or her mother would be very annoyed since it was her cooking.
"Then why are you not eating?" asked Mr. Snow who already had a finished plate in front of him. Apparently he liked his wife's food.
"I am just not hungry," Emily explained. Mrs. Snow understood what was going on almost immediately.
"Don't worry about Galfore he would be al-," she was interrupted by Emily.
"Alright?! He's going to die!" Emily shouted suddenly. Emily gasped at her outburst.
"Emily, I…I know," Mrs. Snow's eyes started welling up with tears. Her husband went over to her to comfort her. Emily sighed deeply but held back tears. She couldn't tell why she was feeling so much pain for Galfore because he was never her guardian. But he was always so sweet and kind and was Starfire's guardian. How Starfire was going to feel only made Emily feel worse. How would Starfire live it down if Galfore died? Even Robin wouldn't be able to comfort her. After a moment of almost silence Emily spoke.
"Mother how did Galfore get Hornox Milliuem?" asked Emily softly. Her mother was down to sniffles now and was now blowing her nose quite loudly.
"He went into the field of Slorboxes," Mrs. Snow said quietly. Emily could not stop herself from gasping.
"What?!"
"Ssh Emily. Please calm down," Mr. Snow almost pleaded. Emily instantly became silent and sat next to her mother.
"Mother…when should I tell Starfire?" asked Emily after a moment of silence.
"Now," her mother responded quietly. Nodding, Emily left the dining table and the cold sputflinks to go to her computer which surprisingly was still intact after she left for years. She decided to video call Titans Tower.
** ** ** ** **
Starfire was sitting in the common room with the pink romance book still in her hands. Her eyes zoomed across the lines of tiny printed words and she was so indulged by the book's plot she didn't notice her boyfriend sit down next to her.
"Hey Star," Robin said smiling.
"Hello Robin," Starfire replied without looking up from her book.
"Why are you reading a book Starfire?" asked Robin questionably.
"Am I not allowed to read?" asked Starfire playfully as she folded a page of the book to act as a bookmark which she learnt from Raven.
"Yes but not when I'm here," Starfire smiled and kissed him lightly on the lips.
"Well what do you wish to do now?" asked Starfire.
"Whatever you want to do," Robin replied.
"Then I wish to carry on the reading of this book," Starfire said smartly and reopened the book.
"Ok fine," Robin said and attempted to turn on the television but before he could, Emily's face appeared on the screen.
"Hi," Emily said meekly. Starfire immediately looked up and her face filled with happiness.
"Hello friend Emily! How is your…" Starfire broke off, realizing the situation again. "Father."
Just then Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven walked in.
"Hey guys- hey Emily!" Beast Boy waved like a child.
"Yo, what's happening'?" asked Cyborg.
"Is everything going alright?" asked Raven sensibly unlike the other two. Emily paused and gulped getting ready to announce the news.
"Well you see-"
"Emily! It's good to see you!" Kidflash suddenly said appearing out of nowhere. Everyone else also came to see where everyone had gone too. Great much easier to tell them Emily thought.
"Well what?" asked Raven.
"Ok…I don't know how to tell you this but…it's that my father's not ill," Emily started. Unfortunately everyone thought this was all the news she had to say and some of them started cheering quietly.
"Are you not happy about that?" asked Starfire surprised who was now floating in midair.
"I am but…" Emily paused yet again which created much suspense.
"Yes?" someone said urging Emily on.
"Galfore is sick," Emily finally said almost too quietly. Starfire's face fell dramatically has well as her way back down to the floor.
"Oh…" was all Starfire could say.
"Starfire…are you alright?" asked Robin carefully.
"That is most terrible news Emily; I do understand why it took you so long to finally tell us. Perhaps Galfore would recover soon," Emily felt so much worse when Starfire said this. How she wished there was someone else to tell her.
"That's the point Starfire…Galfore has Hornox Milliuem," Emily said again too quietly. Starfire stayed silent after hearing this.
"What?" everyone else said in perfect unison as if they were planning to say it.
"Hornox Milliuem is a deadly disease that people get very rarely and-"
"You can not recover," Starfire finished. Emily looked at Starfire as well as everyone else.
"Starfire I," Robin didn't know what to say to Starfire in such a moment like this. Starfire started backing out of the room still facing everyone.
"I do not wish to speak to any of you!" she shouted and rushed off leaving everyone in shock. When she was gone Beast Boy spoke up.
"That was unexpected," he stated. Raven hit him on the back of the head for no apparent reason.
"I knew I shouldn't have told her," Emily sighed and shut down her program on the other end.
** ** ** ** **
The next day while everyone was at Breakfast no one was talking. Most of them just poked at their food and Kidflash just slammed his head into his scrambled eggs but no one noticed or laughed. Not even Beast Boy. Starfire's absence from the table affected everyone just because she was the most lively and most happy out of the group of titans. When Kidflash did lift up his face, which was now covered in scrambled eggs, Allie just passed him a tissue without a smile. The silence was getting to Beast Boy a lot so he decided to create a better atmosphere.
"Hey dudes so why did the chicken cross the road?" Beast Boy said.
"To get to the other side," everyone moaned in unison.
"Err…ok…Knock knock?" Beast Boy tried.
"Who's there?" Kole asked with no expression whatsoever.
"Justin," Beast Boy said.
"Justin who?" asked Bumble Bee.
"Justin in-"
"Time for the party," Aqualad finished.
"Dudes! You can't just keep answering my jokes!" Beast Boy complained.
"Why not? They're pathetic anyway," Raven commented while putting some scrambled eggs in her mouth.
"Tell us better jokes," suggested Speedy.
"Right fine! OK….why did the-"
"Aardvark cross the road. To beat up the idiot telling jokes about him," Raven said. Bumble Bee chuckled.
"Not bad,"
"Dude Raven stop saying that!" Beast Boy said.
"I'm not a dude Beast Boy and sit down," Raven said. Beast Boy realised he had been standing up on his chair so he immediately sat down.
"No offence Beast Boy but your jokes doesn't make us feel any better," Allie commented.
"Kinda figured that out dude," Beast Boy muttered. After a moment of silence, there was a noise of a fork clattering.
"Look, I'm going to check on Starfire," Robin said and roughly got up and walked out of the common room. Everyone looked at Allie for a comment on his behaviour but none came.
"I don't annoy him when he's like this."
** ** ** ** **
On Tamaran
Emily quickly rushed through the green and gold hallways of her house while holding a cup of diluted medicine for Galfore. In her haste she tripped up on her foot (she wasn't flying) and fell onto the floor which consequently made her drop the cup which smashed into a gazillion pieces of the floor and its contents were left to run loose.
"Damn it," Emily cursed and headed back to medicine cabinet to get new medicine quickly. This time she succeeded in letting the cup and its contents stay in her hands so she handed it to her mother who would carefully pour the medicine through Galfore's mouth since he was so weak.
"Emily what took you so long?" her mother asked.
"Err…I couldn't find the medicine," Emily lied. Fortunately her mother nodded which meant she acknowledged Emily's reason. Mrs. Snow hated when her cups fell on the floor especially if they were her special engraved ones which Emily had broken. Emily sighed at Galfore's state, he was wheezing and his skin was a horrible shade of red with numerous bumps scattered all over. At least she didn't have to show what Galfore looked like.
"Mum, I think we need more medicine for Galfore, its running out," Emily said.
"No we don't," Mrs. Snow stated while she put the empty cup on the table. Mr. Snow was checking the temperature of Galfore and his heart beat since he had worked in medicine before.
"Why not?" asked Emily surprised.
"Because he is going to die," her mother said abruptly.
"What?" asked Emily surprised. "I thought people with Hornox Milliuem stayed alive within two weeks. It's only been a week, right?" Mr. Snow shook his head.
"Galfore has high blood pressure which influences how long he might stay with us," Mr. Snow explained.
"Oh," Emily said. She felt so terrible that such a nice man was going to pass away.
"Emily, have you told Starfire?" asked Mrs. Snow after a moment of silence. Emily nodded.
"Yes, I have,"
"How did she take it?"
"She ran out of the room crying,"
"Oh…" Emily decided she would not tell Starfire anything more until the dreadful news arrived.
** ** ** ** **
On Earth
Starfire sat on her bed with an endless flow of tears flowing through her eyes. She didn't know why she was crying so much, she had been crying ever since early morning. Surely it would have stopped now. The sunshine outside did not help her mood at all as she gently rocked herself while hugging a brown teddy bear which she had received from guess who…Galfore.
"Galfore…please…survive," Starfire whispered to herself. She didn't know how she would survive without her truly loved guardian. She was about to talk to herself again until there was a knock on the door.
"Starfire…it's me," said a handsome young voice of which Starfire recognized.
"Come in," Starfire replied. In came in Robin with a whole dollop full of sympathy on his face.
"Starfire you didn't come in for breakfast," Robin started sitting on her bed. He looked at how sad and depressed she looked. Carefully, he wiped fresh tears from her face.
"Starfire please don't cry, I hate to see you cry," Robin whispered.
"I cannot stop my flow of the tears Robin, I am too upset for words," Starfire said.
"Would you like some breakfast, maybe that would make you feel better?" asked Robin. Starfire shook her head.
"Nothing would make me feel better Robin," Starfire commented.
"Not even me?" asked Robin trying to make Starfire a little more joyful. But instead all he received was a death glare. Or something like that.
"Please I wish to be alone," Starfire said in such a way which seemed to make Robin a little shocked.
"Ok," Robin said and planted a kiss on her cheek. "Bye,"
"Bye." Was Starfire's response.
** ** ** ** **
Sorry, no information on Tamaran. Remember what Emily said?
** ** ** ** **
The next day there was no news from Emily or Starfire in fact. She sat in her bedroom without eating or talking to anyone. Beast Boy even said he would let Starfire make her favourite Tameraen meal (though very reluctantly) but that didn't help. Bumble Bee, Kole and Allie said they would go on a large shopping spree with Starfire while the boys paid for it but it was still a no. Cyborg asked if Starfire wanted to play on the video games but that didn't work either (surprisingly). It was weird having the most joyful person in the whole tower become…not joyful. She seemed to make everyone else feel bad too which made the whole tower depressing. In fact, it was so depressing Titan's Tower might as well should've been painted black. Starfire even didn't come out when the alarm went off and no one ever saw her exit her bedroom to go to the toilet. Raven tried encouraging Starfire to come out with her mind talking telepathy thing but it was no use.
Starfire was DEPRESSED.
Oh yeah I said it. She's depressed!
Never thought you would hear that, would you?
Anyway, Robin was extremely worried about Starfire's health because if she carried on like this she might die of starvation. But Starfire wasn't that depressed, surely she would come out when she was hungry, won't she? Robin was also surprised that Starfire could be hurt so much from Galfore dying. It shocked Robin a little bit that she might have been less depressed if it was himself dying! After thinking this, he started to make his way straight to Starfire's room, bumping into Raven in the process.
"Sorry," Raven said.
"Sorry," Robin said.
"Where are you going?" asked Raven.
"To Starfire's room," Robin answered and started walking off.
"Robin, there's no point. She won't come out of her room,"
"She might if I persuaded her,"
"I wouldn't be so sure," but Robin was already gone.
** ** ** ** **
Knock Knock! Starfire heard on her bedroom door.
"Come in," Starfire croaked as if she had a cold. Robin came in quite shocked by Starfire's appearance and her room. Her room was absolutely COVERED with tissues which were already used and empty tissue boxes. Some of her things were all over the floor as if she had a tantrum. She had a bright red nose and her used-to-be emerald green eyes were so damp and colourless. Her mouth was an upside down smile and she had her knees tucked up to her chest as she was rocking ever-so-slightly.
"Starfire?" Robin said sitting down next to her. Starfire didn't reply.
"Starfire?" Robin repeated.
"Yes?" Starfire replied quietly.
"Why haven't you come outside your room?" asked Robin.
"I…do not wish to," Starfire said.
"Why not Starfire?"
"I am too upset to come out. I do not wish to speak of…Galfore!" and Starfire broke down into tears. Immediately, Robin grabbed a tissue and started cleaning up her face.
"Starfire, you must stop crying. You'll get headaches,"
"I already have a headache Robin. Who cares if I make it worse?" Starfire said, too coldly for her personality.
"I care," Robin pointed out. "Everyone else cares. All the titans are so quiet and upset without you." Starfire stopped rocking.
"You do?"
"Yes! Who told you I didn't?"
"I just wished to hear it again," Starfire said. She blew her nose again and sighed. "I do not know how to live without him."
"Without Galfore?"
"Yes,"
"But Starfire…you barely see him," Robin said, whispering the last part.
"But that does not mean I can not miss him!" Starfire shouted suddenly. Quickly she put her hand over her mouth.
"Oh the dear Robin. I did not wish to shout at you. I am too affected by the dreadful news to be nice to anyone," Starfire explained letting more tears fall.
"Don't worry Starfire I understand," Robin said wiping the new tears off her face. They were silent after that, until Robin decided to break the silence.
"Do you think you would be alright with Galfore…gone?" asked Robin. Starfire shook her head.
"No…I do not know actually. I do not know how anyone can live without their beloved parents," Starfire said. This shocked Robin. He had lost his parents and was coping and Starfire knew that!
"But Starfire, I've lost my parents!" Robin said suddenly, quite loudly. Starfire froze. Not because of Robin's tone of voice but because of the fact on how she could've forgotten.
"Yes…yes you have," Starfire realised.
"Oh Starfire…sorry. I didn't mean to shout like that. I mean…how could you forget?"
"I…I do not know Robin. I did not know all of my troubles would make me forget about important things,"
"Starfire, do you-"
"How did you cope with losing your parents at such a young age?" Starfire interrupted. She let lose of her knees and let them fall down the edge of the bed.
"I was very affected after my parents died Starfire. For a long time, I thought I could never be loved again or be happy. But when Batman took me in I started to realised that I was wrong about being happy or loved again. Even though he didn't show it, I felt like I was loved and when I practiced martial arts I felt happy. When I left Batman I felt lonely again but not as bad as last time. When I met the Titans and…you, I felt like that I could be happy once again and be liked or loved I hope in your matter," Robin explained slightly smirking at the last part.
"Oh I understand now Robin. Even you after pain discovered life could be filled with pleasant things once again," Starfire said seriously.
"Yes-wait a minute. What do you mean by 'even me'?" Robin asked.
"You do not wish to know," Starfire said smiling for the first which felt like years. "I thank you for telling me that Robin. It helped me immensely, thank you,"
"Your welcome," Robin said. Robin turned to leave but Starfire said something. "Wait."
"Why?"
"Please turn around," Robin did but was suddenly met by a passionate kiss (A/n Awww, you were waiting for that weren't you?) from Starfire. She deepened the kiss which was unlike her for she was quite modest when it came to kissing. She wrapped her hands around Robin which he did the same. Out of force, Robin fell onto the bed with Starfire on top of him (oops!) After realizing this, Starfire quickly got off of Robin and blushed slightly because this was meant to be a K+ fanfiction.
"Err…thanks," Robin said nervously.
"Um…it your welcome," Starfire replied. "May I go outside now?"
** ** ** ** **
All the titans sat in the common room, bored. But luckily not as bored as Beast Boy or they would all be pulling pranks on everyone and eventually end up with the love potion. Nope, don't want to relive that again. Everyone was snapped out of their bored trance the moment Starfire and Robin burst through doors holding hands. It wasn't because they were holding hands, it was because Starfire was actually out. Smiling.
Starfire's depression is OVER!
"Friends! How joyful it is to see you once again!" Starfire said, now too happy. Had she completely forgotten that Galfore was going to die?
"Starfire! You're awake!" Beast Boy said stupidly.
"What do you mean 'she's awake'? Of course she is!" Raven said slapping Beast Boy at the back of his head. After attacking her boyfriend, Raven turned to Starfire.
"Hey Starfire. Are you a little better now?"
"I much better now thanks to Robin," Starfire said smiling broadly. Robin sent a told-you-so look to Raven which Raven responded as a 'whatever' look.
"Did our little Robbie-poo do something naughty?" said Cyborg in a completely irritating way.
"Sparky! Stop teasing them!" Bumble Bee hissed. "Hi Starfire!"
"Hey!"
"Finally!"
"I'm so glad you're happy now!"
"Yay!" said someone of nobody knew who it was. Anyway, while the greetings were taken place Emily's face appeared on the screen. Emily's face was not sad though, it was happy and joyful.
"Hey guys!" she exclaimed waving lightly through the video.
"Hey,"
"I have great news!" Emily gasped, obviously excited.
"What is it dear Emily?" asked Starfire flying up to the T.V. of which everyone else came too.
"I see you're happy," Emily said.
"Yes I am," Starfire said nodding. "So what is the good news?"
"Galfore is recovering!" Emily shouted a little too loudly. All the titans gasped.
"Is that true? Is that not wonderful? Oh I do not know how I will survive with so much happiness!" Starfire gasped a little too happy and a little OOC. If she was balloon which was pumped with happiness she would have burst into a gazillion zillion pieces by now.
"Really?" asked Robin surprised.
"That's shocking," Raven nodded also surprised especially since she had secretly looked up Hornox Milliuem for a cure and found none.
"Why is that?" asked Starfire.
"I don't know, my father hasn't told me yet. But another good thing is that I'm going back to earth!"
"That's a good thing?" Kidflash smirked appearing out of nowhere.
"Shut up," Emily said playfully.
"That is also good! We shall celebrate two good things!" Starfire exclaimed and flew to the kitchen. "And I shall make the pudding of celebration!"
Everyone smiled, it felt good to have Starfire back again.
Good! I've finished this chapter. So the delay wasn't that long, was it? I hope it wasn't! I made an extra long chapter just to make you guys happy!
By the way everyone, I need to tell you that if you are thinking that I don't like the kidflash/Jinx pairing you are so wrong! It's just that Emily needed somebody! :) To be honest I much rather would have had Robin but he has Starfire lol.
Oh again there is a reason on why Galfore recovered. And the only person that did recover was…*drum roll*…Galfore! Ha! Got you!
Maybe I didn't. Dunno.
Please review!
