A/N: Okay, this isn't going to be the last chapter. I'm hoping that the next one will be, though. Maybe I'll add something special in the next chapter. Anyway, we'll see it when we get there. Right now, here's chapter 7.
*Previously*
He gently laid his hands on her waist and kissed her tenderly on the lips, sending their sensations into flight. But they had to stop quickly, since time was running out. When they pulled away, Starfire looked longingly up at Nightwing.
"For both our sakes, I hope that you'll continue that in the past," he said, stepping away. He gave her the artifact that Warp had stolen 20 years ago. With that, Starfire gave one smile back at her friends before jumping into the porthole, the figure in hand, preparing for the journey home.
When the porthole closed, all the Titans looked at each other. Beastboy grinned wryly at Nightwing and said, "You ol' sly dog."
Chapter 7
Robin paced around in the Titan Tower. It had been one hour since Starfire had disappeared [A/N: I changed it for dramatic effect]. It didn't take the Titans long to start worrying about her. Even Raven seemed more on edge than usual. But the most riled up about her disappearance was Robin. Where on Earth could she be?
"I just don't get it," he said to the others. "Where is she?"
"Well, if my thoughts are right," Cyborg said thoughtfully, "it's not 'where' is she, but when."
Robin stopped and looked at him. "Huh?"
"Didn't you hear Warp?" Cyborg asked sadly. "He said something about going back to his time – 100 years in the future."
Robin's heart seemed to stop. 100 years?! But... that would mean...
"Are you saying we'll never see her again?" Robin asked, his voice stiff and cracking with emotion.
Cyborg looked to Raven and Beastboy, who both looked at him helplessly. Beastboy looked at Robin.
"Sorry, man," he said quietly. "It looks that way."
Robin's thoughts were going haywire. If he never saw her again, he'd... he'd go insane! It slowly became clear that he wouldn't be able to live his life if he couldn't live it with Starfire. She had brought happiness in his life that he could never explain. To have that taken away, would be like taking his breath away. He wouldn't be able to live on.
"But... but that's impossible!" he cried, looking desperately to his teammates. "She's a part of us! If she's not coming back..."
They could all tell that she was very important to him. They had noticed how they looked at each other and acted around each other. And now their leader was in pain because a part of his life had been taken away. Even Raven felt that she should say something.
"You never know," she said slowly. "Maybe she'll—,"
But Raven never finished her sentence. She didn't need to. Right behind Robin was a bright light. The circle opened wider, and Robin whirled around with wide eyes as everyone stared at it. Robin backed away, but it was too late.
Out of the porthole flew Starfire, who crashed ungracefully right into Robin with a scream, and they both fell to the floor. The porthole immediately closed, and Cyborg, Raven, and Beastboy stared at them in silence and surprise.
Face-to-face, with Starfire on top, the two on the floor just stayed there in utter shock. Time stood still for them, as they just looked into each other's eyes.
"Um... greetings?" Starfire breathed. "I have returned."
"I- I see that," Robin answered, his heart thudding in his chest. That's when it dawned on him. Starfire hadn't disappeared forever. She was back! She was back and in one piece!
And right on top of him...
They both suddenly shot up and started apologizing left and right. Both faces were red in embarrassment, and their eyes couldn't meet. They stopped after a while, and finally looked at each other. Robin's thought returned to how he had felt when he thought she wasn't coming back, and Starfire thought of how Nightwing confessed how he felt as Robin.
After staring at each other for a while, Robin suddenly broke into a grin and started chuckling. Starfire began to giggle in turn, and soon they were both laughing uncontrollably. Starfire happily went over to Robin, and his arms circled around her as they continued to laugh.
"Oh Starfire," Robin said after their laughter had calmed down. He looked into her eyes and said, "I thought I had lost you."
"I know," Starfire replied before she could stop. He looked at her with confusion, and stepped back.
"What do you mean, Star?" he asked.
She looked from him, to the others (who were still in an utter state of disbelief) and realized that now was the time. She had to tell them what had happened.

A/N: Yeah, there we go. We went from Nightwing/ Starfire to Robin/ Starfire. Honestly, I had trouble doing the thing with Nightwing, since he's like 36 or so. But, after seeing the cartoon *drools* and seeing how he looks around 20 something, it's not too hard seeing a romance between them. I just had to remember how he looked, not how old he was. At least that's what I like to tell myself. Anyway, there are one or two more chapters left, so keep reading and reviewing!
