Secrets Revealed pt. One: Beastboy
'Did I really just kiss Robin, Robin the Boy Wonder? Is he kissing me back? As much as I don't want to I have to stop...'
Starfire pulled away from Robin.
"Look, I can't do this anymore?"
"Do what?"
"I can't kiss you anymore, look I can't love you anymore either."
"What? Why?"
"I have my reasons, kay. Just wait, you'll understand. Not now though but soon."
"I don't get it."
"I'm may not be who you think or don't think I am."
"Huh?"
Starfire stood up and faced the window.
"Look, she still loves you. That's all I can say."
"Who still loves me?"
"You'll understand in the future."
"I want to understand now."
"As much as I want to love you and vice versa, I just can't. I'd be betraying someone, I never knew her, but still..."
"Wha?"
"Can you please just leave me alone...please Robin?"
"Are you sure you don't want to..."
"No. Sorry."
Robin, hurt and confused left the room.
Once he had reached the operations center Cyborg and Beastboy were (once again) playing video games. Raven was reading one of Starfire's new books, the Satanic Verses.
"So..." Raven said "How'd it go with Starfire?"
"We're through."
Suddenly the whole room came to an abrupt halt. Even Cyborg, as he was winning the game, let his car crash.
"Did I hear you right dude?" Beastboy said incredulously
"Yup." And Robin left and went to his room.
The remaining three stared at each other. Cyborg was thinking...
'Since Starfire came back to life it seems that the team has been breaking down. Do we have serious problems or what?'
"What're we gonna do now that leaderboy's inspiration dumped him?" Raven said, half to herself half to BB and Cyborg.
"Uhhh...lie down in a corner and rot. If we're lucky it'll actually work." Beastboy said. He was trying to be light hearted but his heart wasn't into it.
"Well, maybe we could try talking to them you know separately. Raven with reason, BB with humor, and me with brotherly advice." Cyborg grinned comically while Rae and BB stared at him.
"Well it's worth a shot." Raven said
"Okay, well how much more 'shots' do we have left." Cyborg said
"By shot you mean chance and not espresso right?" Beastboy replied...
(Raven and Cyborg: Anime sweat dropped)
"Uhhh...riiiiggghhhttt..." Raven said
"What!?"
"Well so, who's first?" Cyborg said to which Raven replied
"Well BB should go first coz he might cheer Starfire up then Cyborg so he can give her options and me so I can give her stuff to use her options to. Same goes with Robin."
The titans seemed to agree but just as BB was going to Star's room she walked out wearing a faded skirt and a black shirt, guitar in hand again. For the first time her hair was tied. Cyborg left with Raven they each went to their rooms. Beastboy, for the first time, was at loss for words.
"So...Starfire. Robin told us that you guys were through..."
"Well, BB, I had no choice."
He didn't know what to say after that...
"So...what do you expect to do?"
"I dunno...you know I don't really belong here."
"Why do you say that? Is it becoz you're an alien?"
"No..."
'Its hard to be light-hearted when someone's depressed' BB thought glumly
"Look, I'm here to cheer you up, work with me coz if you don't I'm gonna stick to you until you smile."
"Joy."
"Come on, do something, teach me how to play an instrument like drums...or...or..."
"Give me a drum set and I will..."
"Uuhh...why do I have the sinking feeling I'm not talking to the same Starfire we all know and love?"
"Um..."
"Uh...what's with the Um? You should know your name right? Hehehehe..."
'Should I tell him or not?'
"Starfire? Starfire? Hellooo? Are you still with me?"
"Yeah, about that drum lesson..."
"Okay, but first why did you break up with Robin and who are you?"
"One, I have my reasons and two I'm Starfire duh."
"No you're not, Starfire would never dress in black that's too much a Raven thing to do. Starfire would never listen to the music that you brought and she wouldn't read those kind of books. And lastly, she'd never hurt anybody, especially not Robin. Who the heck are you?"
'I'm caught; he won't let me be if I don't tell him...'
"You're the girl in the picture aren't you?"
"Okay you got me...confession time I just woke up in Starfire's body after I died."
"You're dead!!?? So where's Star?"
"In heaven."
"What? I don't get it." BB scratched his head
"Okay, remember a week ago Starfire collapsed?"
"Yeah and?"
"God made me take her place."
"Is she coming back, I mean no offense coz it might be interesting to have you around and you could teach me how to play drums and Robin could be the electric guitar guy, Cyborg could be on bass and Raven could play keyboard and you can sing and play guitar and we'll have a rock band. I always wanted to play in a rock band so can we? Can we? Can we? Huh? Huh? Huh?"
"Um, I don't know if she's coming back and if she does then I have no body to be in so I'm forced to either go to wherever God wants me to go or stay as a ghost here. I'll be cheering your rock band on."
"Awww. Well cna't you stay on Earth as a ghost? Well what's your name anyway?"
"Avi, but as long as the others don't know I'm Starfire. And I don't know, I don't know if I can stay on Earth as a ghost., but hopefully I can"
"I have a confession to make."
"What?"
"I was listening to you and Raven talk."
"Oh...so you knew before we talked about this?"
"Guilty as charged."
"So...you want to be in a rock band ey?"
"Uh-huh..."
"Give me a keyboard, a bass and two electric guitars and for you, a drum set. But I don't play bass, or keyboard. I only know the basics of drums coz my best friend taught me and as for guitar, well...I don't think I can face Robin again."
"He'll get over it."
"Yeah. Right."
"Well thanks anyway." And she kissed him on the cheek and pinched it. Soon they were play fighting and messing each other's hair. It was like they were brother and sister when suddenly Robin walked into the room.
"I see you moved on rather fast."
"It's not what it seems dude."
"Whatever."
