When Starfire finally got up, the night had already fall on the city,
hiding everything in the darkness. With a big yawn, she stood up, and
Robin's cape fall down at her feet. She looked it for a while until she
recognised it: with a big smile she took it and put on her shoulders. She
felt happy: now she was sure that Robin loved her. She moved to the window
and looked out: the night was calm and a big moon was shining on the city:
"A perfect night for lovers" thought Starfire, remembering the first kiss between she and Robin.
She sighed, she wasn't ready to face him again, she needed to think a little alone. She looked around her searching for her friend Raven, but she was nowhere.
"Maybe she's in the hall with the others... Maybe she's with Robin, and she's laughing with him..."
Starfire felt jealous: could Raven steal her boyfriend? For a moment, the answer in her mind was yes, but then she felt stupid and remembered that Robin loved her, and Raven was one of her friends. With a sigh of relief, Starfire exited from Raven's room, and moved her feet to the roof: she needed to breath some fresh air and some loneliness. After too much flight of stairs, Starfire finally reached the roof door. She pushed it without noise and stopped, scared: there was a dark figure in the darkness. Slowly, she tried to close the door and to escape, but the figure called her:
"Starfire? Is it you?"
Starfire didn't replied, she just lightened a green bolt, ready for fighting for hers and her baby life. The green light illuminated the figure: it was Raven.
"Raven... you scared me..." said Starfire, breathing heavily.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The two girl stayed silent for a while, then Raven spoke:
"So, what are doing up here? I thought you were sleeping..."
"Well, I may ask you the same thing..."
Raven smiled: "You're right... Well, actually I was thinking... Downstairs there was too much noise... I wonder how someone could think when there are three men playing fight videogame..."
Starfire laughed.
"You're right.... I thought the same thing..."
The silence fall again. The only noise were the waves crashing on the rocky beach ten floors down. Raven breathed the salty air and then said:
"So, you told him you are pregnant?"
Starfire looked her, and sat down on her side.
"Actually... no. I don't know what happened, but when I tried to say it something stopped me... maybe it wasn't the right way or time..."
"Maybe you're right... May I ask you what he told you?"
"Sure. He told me that he'd have loved me forever, in every situation... And he asked me if I wanted to go out this week..."
"And what you replied?"
"I agreed, of course, now we have to decide what evening we might go out, even if I prefere staying in the tower... I feel safer when I'm here... But, what are you thinking about?"
"If I tell you, you won't believe me..."
"No, no, please, tell me..."
Raven sighed.
"I don't know how to say it... It's quite funny... Well, Beast Boy asked me a date... this week..."
"But it's wonderful! And what you said him?"
"Nothing, just that I would think about it... But I really don't know what to say..."
"Maybe you can go out with him and see what happens... A single date don't mean anything..."
"I don't know... I'm not good in those things, I've always been busy in keeping under control my feelings that I never thought that one day I'd had to face love..."
"So you love him" shouted Starfire.
"Shhh! I don't know, I can't decide.... Well, maybe I'll accept, so you and Robin could stay alone in the tower..."
"Really?! Thanks! You're one of the best friend of the world!"
"But, what will you tell to Cyborg?"
"I don't know... Don't you think it's cold here? I think I'll go downstairs..."
"I'll reach you in a moment..." replied Raven.
"All right... And one last thing: thanks, for all"
"You're welcome..."
Starfire smiled:
"It isn't funny? A week ago we cried because we were alone and now we've got two wonderful boyfriends... Life is funny, no?"
"Beast boy is not my boyfriend!" shouted Raven, blushing.
"We'll see..." said Starfire laughing.
"A perfect night for lovers" thought Starfire, remembering the first kiss between she and Robin.
