Everyone! I am so sorry I haven't updated! I have been extremely busy with

Starfire sat in her corner; Pac in his. Twice, they had turned to glance at each other, only to turn right back to their wall.
Jinx walked in, hands on hips. She smiled. "So how are you doing? Cold? Good." She laughed but Starfire just ignored her. "What's wrong? Don't think Robin will come and save you? Well, he won't. I mean, who will want to save you? He has thousands of girls on Earth that would die to even breath his air. He could pick any girl he wants and she'll be his. But no, he has to pick the alien girl. Instead of the thousands of girls wishing to be his girlfriend."
Jinx leaned against a desk that was facing the wall. "You know, Star, there are many things you don't know about him. Like...he use to have a girlfriend."
Starfire continued ignoring Jinx, but was interested in who Robin's previous girlfriend has been. Jinx went to the bars and said coldly, "You are pathetic. A child does a better job keeping their interest contained than you. And I'll tell you who was his girlfriend. Some girl named Daisy. But hey, don't believe, that's your problem. But don't be crawling to me when you find out he ditches you like he did to Daisy."
Jinx left, leaving Starfire filled with confusion. 'Robin, where are you?' She thought, never feeling more alone.
Starfire glanced at the metal bars. Would her fire bolts have any affect against them? She tried bringing her fire bolts but they didn't come. She then realized that something was on her wrist. Something...metal. It must be stopping her from bringing forth any bolts.
Footsteps came in and soon followed was a cold voice, "I see you have discovered that your fire bolts are useless. Good. Oh, just in case you were wondering how long you are going to live, the sun sets in four hours. Have fun...it'll be the last time." With that said, Slade walked out.
She had until sunset to live. Starfire squeezed her eyes shut. 'Save me Robin.'
* * *
Robin glanced at the clock. Four hours. They had lost time while battling the Pazadanas. Robin glanced around the control room.
Raven walked in, the door shutting behind her. She said quietly, "Robin...promise me you will not do something stupid or disobey Sarah's orders to go slow if I tell you my...vision."
Robin raised an eyebrow but nodded. "I promise."
Raven told Robin her vision. Robin's eyes widened. "No...you have to be wrong..."
Raven shook her head. "My visions are 100 percent accurate all the time. I'm sorry Robin...all I know that it happens sometime after the sunsets. So even if we save Star from the poison, her memory will be...gone."
Robin's face turned grim. Raven said sharply, "You promised Robin. Don't even think of disobeying Sarah."
Robin snapped back, "And let Star lose her memory? Never..."
Raven looked enraged. "Robin, you better not. I'll lock you in your room if you even dare to move the tiniest bit faster."
Robin said through clenched teeth, "Make me."
Beast Boy walked in. "Uh...hi?"
Robin moved the ship faster. Raven shouted, "Robin, stop NOW!" The ship shook.
Robin ignored Raven. Beast Boy looked confused. Sarah walked in and used her powers to lift Robin from the pilot seat. "Sorry Robin, but off to your room." She walked out with a struggling Robin.
Cyborg had seen the whole scene. "So...Star's really going to lose her memory?"
Raven nodded. She walked over to take control of the ship.
Beast Boy glanced in the direction Sarah had dragged Robin to. "He snapped...I never knew Robin, the boy wonder, would snap. Star must mean a lot to him."
"No, Beast Boy, I would have never guessed," Raven muttered dryly.
* * *
"Sarah, let me GO!" Robin screamed. He had to save Star; he had to prevent Raven's vision from coming true.
Sarah frowned. "Robin, calm down! Jeez!"
Robin hissed, "You want Star to die, don't you? You want her to feel pain and you want her to be alone, all alone without no one or memories."
Sarah's eyes were filled with anger. "No, I don't Robin. I know how it feels to be alone. I know how it feels. I would never want it to happen to another being."
Robin turned to look at her. "So...what happened? I mean you had Slade and your sister."
Sarah looked away. "I...well, my mother had separated us from Slade. But Slade wanted me because of my powers. I was better than my sister and he wanted me more. But...the judge gave him my sister, allowing me to stay with my mom. But then...he killed my mom and he expected me to be given him but I ran away. Ever since then I've been on my own."
Robin nodded slowly. He glanced down at the floor. Sarah's voice said slowly, "Maybe if I didn't run away...my sister would be alright. And memory would be...safe."
Robin shrugged. "Make a decision and never look back at it. What's done is what is done, Sarah. None of it is your fault."
Sarah nodded and glanced at the clock, her eyes widening. "One hour until sunset. And we're not that close to the mountain top."
Robin glanced at her, shocked. "We have to get there before the sun sets. We have to!"
Sarah nodded. "We'll have to go full speed and risk being attacked. But that's a risk we're going to take."
* * *
Starfire was brought to the top of the mountain. Starfire tossed Slade a confused look and Slade said, "You're going to die tonight at sunset. Thought you should have one last sunset."
Starfire felt funny. Like...something was eating inside her stomach. Slade sighed. "The poison is taking affect. Be happy, its affects aren't as painfully as it will be. In half an hour, it will be sunset and that's when you'll really feel pain."
Starfire was kneeling on the ground, tears falling on the dirt and the ground absorbed the moisture. Her last day to live and her friends weren't there.
* * *
Five minutes before sunset. Robin pushed the controls full speed. "Come on, come on..." he muttered.
Sarah suddenly said, "There! I see it! And...there's...two people on it..."
Robin squinted and then his eyes widened. "That's Starfire! And Slade!"
The ship reached the mountain. Raven came running out of the hall, panting. "I can't get Beast Boy's door opened. He probably is listening to some song and bolted his door shut. And I am not in the mood to break down any doors. Let's just go."
Robin nodded and jumped out of the ship. "Starfire!" He screamed happily. And was he surprised when Starfire lifted her head. Tears streaked her face and her eyes held such sadness and pain. Her lip was trembling.
"R-Robin?" She whispered, wincing in pain. Robin took half a step towards her.
Slade laughed. "The poison is taking affect. And you only have two minutes until sunset."
Sarah grabbed the fruit. "Eat," she commanded Starfire who ate obediently.
"One minute," came Slade's voice.
"Starfire, faster!" Sarah demanded. A tear fell down Starfire's face but she continued eating. She then clutched her stomach in pain.
She doubled over, screaming in pain. Sarah screamed, "Starfire, EAT! If you don't you'll die! Just eat...for Robin!"
That knocked some sense into her. She grabbed the fruit with shaking hands. She ate faster and faster. "She's getting much better!" Sarah cried.
Slade started laughing. The sun fell behind him. Sarah looked confused. Raven eyes widened. "NO! Star's memories!" She cried.
Slade laughed harder. "I knew you would have a vision, Raven. That's why I had this planned." He revealed a red button. "I control everything here. And I have the power to erase all of her memories." He pushed the button.
"AH!" Starfire screamed. She held her head, trying to get rid of the pain. Robin tried running to her but Sarah held him back.
"No! Don't! Starfire might end up hurting you because she's in such pain!" Sarah screamed over Starfire's screaming.
Starfire fell to the ground. The, suddenly, she looked around, her pretty green eyes confused and empty. That was the part that hurt Robin the most. The emptiness.
She asked, "Who...who are you? And...who am I?"
**************************************************************
Ok well that's all for now...
Hey, just joking!! That's my VERY late April fool's joke!
**************************************************************
Slade jumped forward. "Watch out! These people are trying to hurt you! They hut you with a stick and knocked you out cold. Are you alright?"
Starfire looked up, confused. "What is my name?"
Slade thought for a moment. Her eyes were green..."You're name is Emerald. My, my, these cruel people have erased all of who you are!"
Starfire said, turning hating eyes towards the Titans, "You...are...the cruelest people! Who would do such a thing?"
Robin stepped forward. "No, wait..."
Starfire snapped, "No. Leave me alone. Now!"
Slade shot ropes that held the Titans tightly. Unable to move, they could only watch as Starfire walked back to Slade. "Please take me home, away from these...monsters!"
Slade nodded. "Come, Emerald. If I am to regain your memories, we shall do the places you know best."
She nodded. She walked back to the ship with one last hating glance at the Titans.
Robin cried, "STARFIRE!" Just as the ship roared to life. And it blasted away.
* * *
"This is your room," Slade said, directing Starfire to a pretty room, not the prison cell. "You have lived with me for your whole life, training and learning from me. I shall re train you and maybe spark some memories from our training exercises."
Starfire nodded. "Thank you...I am sorry, I did not catch your name."
"Call me Master. That is what you use to call me," Slade responded.
"Yes...Master."
"Also, this is your uniform." Slade showed Starfire the same outfit Robin had when he was Slade's apprentice except Starfire's was all black.
Jinx walked in. She nodded towards Starfire, knowing that Slade erased her memories. "Emerald! You are alright!" Jinx cried in false happiness and relief.
Starfire looked blank. "Who are you?"
Jinx said, hugging Star, "It's me! Jinx! Your best friend! Come on, Emerald!"
Starfire just frowned. "I'm...sorry. My memory hasn't returned yet. Oh well. Hello Jinx."
Jinx grinned. 'She's more of an idiot than I expected.'
Slade cleared his throat. "Let us leave Emerald alone. Come, Jinx."
Jinx obeyed, walking out with Slade. Starfire sat on her bed, confused. Who was she? She flopped on the bed on her stomach. This was confusing. And that boy...he had screamed something...what was it? She suddenly remembered. It had been Starfire.
Suddenly, she had a memory. They boy had said her name before. She remembered feeling...ugly. She had thought of herself as a monster and started flying into space when the boy had screamed the name Starfire. She blinked. She held her head in frustration. This wasn't fun.
* * *
"So, I have to be with the bimbo?" Jinx asked Slade, looking bored.
Slade nodded. "But for now, I'll train her in my ways. She might even be a better fighter than Robin."
Jinx nodded, leaning against the desk. "Whatever. So what do I have to do with her?"
Slade replied, "Be a friend to her, get close. And if she starts remembering, tell her she must be making it up. By then, you'll be close to her she'll believe you and drive out the memories."
Slade walked to her room. "Emerald? We must train immediately."
She walked out; dressed in her uniform Slade had given her. She nodded. "I am ready, Master."
Slade nodded back and walked with her to the training room. She then stopped short, her eyes taking a glazed look.
Starfire was having a memory. She was training. She was flying and turned around to shot some flying objects. She continued flying and let another girl toss some pillars at the rest of the flying objects. (Remember Only Human?)
She blinked again. She turned to Slade and asked, "Master, I just had a memory, I believe. I...I was training with others. There was a girl..."
Slade shook his head. "They were making you train until you almost died. That girl, she was probably aiming for you."
Starfire nodded. "Yes, Master."
Slade gestured at the training room. "Here, we shall reform you into the fighter you are."
She nodded. "I am ready."
* * *
After training for two hours with Slade, Starfire was panting heavily. Slade shook his head. "You can do much better, Emerald. Now, show me!"
She nodded and attacked. Slade just moved and dodged her attacks. She flipped, kicking him while turning. "I think I'm proving myself just fine," she said with a grin. Slade went flying back only to flip back up. He attacked, knocking her into a wall. She pushed off the wall and flew over his head, kicking him.
"Not yet, Emerald. Not yet."
Both of them fought their hardest. Finally, Slade said, "You have progressed much and have done very well. You have pleased me. Return to your quarters where you will sleep until tomorrow." Slade was happy. Ever time she took a swing; she seemed to grow more bitter and hating. Perfect.
She bowed. "Yes, Master."
She walked tiredly to her room and opened the door to find Jinx on her bed, reading a magazine. "What are you doing in my room?" She snapped, bitterness in her voice.
Jinx shrugged. "Just hanging out." She glanced at Starfire who was sweating. "Tough training?"
Starfire only nodded and went to take a shower. When she emerged, she was fresher.
It was midnight and she suddenly heard something. "Did you hear that?" Starfire asked.
Jinx listened. It was pounding music, just like at clubs on Earth. "Yeah, so?"
Starfire grinned. "How about a girls night out?"
Jinx shrugged. "Whatever."
Starfire picked an outfit out. She picked a tube red shirt that revealed her stomach, a mini red skirt that was tight and boots that were red (Her boots as her Teen Titans uniform, except they are red and on the top where there is silver, on Emerald's there is black.)
Jinx eyed her. Starfire asked, "Need anything to wear, Jinx?"
Jinx motioned to her outfit. "This is what I'm wearing."
Starfire frowned. "Ok, your choice. Let's go!" She grabbed Jinx hand and flew out of the window.
Little did she know that Slade was watching and he was smiling. "Go on, Starfire. Have fun. It might be the last time you do."
* * *
Sarah made Robin go to the dance party. It was a distraction. But it wasn't working. He sat on a stool, watching everyone dancing.
He seemed to have a fan club where Pazadana girls surrounded him, batting their eyes at him and flirting with the leader.
"Whoa! Look at those girls!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Cyborg looked and his mouth, along with Beast Boy's, fell open, hitting the floor. Sarah smacked Cyborg and Raven smacked Beast Boy.
"Hey, excuse me? I'm right here you know!" Sarah exclaimed.
Cyborg grinned sheepishly. "Sorry..."
Sarah and Cyborg went to the dance floor, dancing. Beast Boy played with his fingers. "So...Raven...want to dance?"
Raven glanced at him and sighed. "Fine. But don't get any ideas."
Off they went, leaving Robin with the Pazadana girls. "Hey...my name is Samara. What's yours, cutie?" One girl asked, batting her long eyelashes.
Robin glanced at her and looked away. She inched into his face, her mouth millimeters away from his lips. "Come on, you aren't scared of little ole me, are you?"
Robin frowned and was about to say something when SHE came in. Starfire walked in with a whole new outfit and with Jinx. She smiled at all the boys and walked by them, leaving them with their mouths open. She winked at a couple and most of them followed her, dazed by the red head beauty.
Robin could barely breath. She was fine and unharmed. Sure, she was different but she was safe. He moved past Samara and walked in daze after Starfire.
One Pazadana boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to her and said with a wink, "Hey. My name is Macro. What's yours?"
Starfire batted her eyes. "Emerald."
'Emerald?' Robin thought, confused. Sarah walked over. "Robin..." she said and she saw Starfire. Sarah's eyes widened. She grabbed Robin and dragged him to the refreshments. "Robin, that was Starfire! But...her memory...and what was she doing with Jinx?"
"Hey, now that's not nice. Talking about people behind their backs," came Jinx's voice, purring. Sarah whirled on her.
"What happened to Starfire? She...she doesn't act all like that!"
Jinx shrugged. "First, her name is now Emerald. Second, her memory is gone, Slade filled it and trained her, she wanted to go to party and I went too. That's what happened."
Sarah fumed. Jinx said, "Well, anyways, she won't see you. I'll make sure of it."
Sarah grabbed Jinx and threw her out of the club. "Robin, get Star! I'll deal with Jinx! Go!"
Robin nodded. Cyborg asked, "Dude, is that Star? She looks...wow!"
Robin gave him the death glare. Cyborg grinned nervously and anime sweat dropped.
"Wait, Robin, she already saw you and hates you. She won't let you get too close to her. And she saw me too..."
They both glanced at Beast Boy. "EEK! No way!"
Cyborg said, "All you got to do is put this wee little tracking device to her and that's that. Can you handle that?"
Beast Boy groaned. "Alright, alright. Raven, hold this," he handed Raven his cup of punch. "Beast Boy going to go put a tracking device!"
Beast Boy walked over to Starfire and cleared his throat. "Hey there. My name is..."
Cyborg said in the communicator in his ear, "DON"T USE YOUR REAL NAME!"
"My name is...Garfield Logan!" Beast Boy said out loud.
Starfire smiled but BB realized her eyes weren't as cheerful and as innocent they use to be. "My name is Emerald. Hey, want to dance?" A slow song came on. Beast Boy gulped and glanced at Starfire in her outfit.
"Err...sure..." Starfire grabbed him and pulled him on the dance floor where other couples gathered. She out her hands around his neck and put her lips right next to his ear.
Beast Boy gulped again but put his hands around her waist. 'Ok, the tracking device, put on her skirt, you can do this...'
"Beast Boy, get your hands off Star!" Robin's voice whispered in his ear, the opposite where Starfire mouth was.
Beast Boy smiled nervously. Starfire whispered, "Don't be nervous. I'll take good care of you..."
Beast Boy's face turned white. He quickly stuck the tracking device on her. "Err...that's ok. Just realized, I can't dance! Heh, well, I'll be going!" He started walking away but Starfire grabbed him and pulled him close, her mouth so close to his.
"Don't leave." She pouted. "Stay with me." Beast Boy's face was dead white.
Raven exploded a ceiling lamp.
Robin tensed. "Get BB away from Star! If they kiss..."
Cyborg, "Whoa...just whoa."
Beast Boy, "Err, well, err...you're a nice person and all but...I HAVE TO GO TO THE POTTY!" 'Smooth, BB, real smooth.'
Starfire pouted. "Do you have to? I mean...wouldn't you rather be with me?" She trailed her finger down Beast Boy's face.
"Err...the potty's calling! BE RIGHT BACK!" He then ran to the bathroom at full speed.
Robin and Cyborg followed and found Beast Boy dumping water on his head. "Dude, calm down." Cyborg said.
Beast Boy exploded, "CALM DOWN? YOU CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE BEST FRIEND ALMOST KISSES YOU! THAT WAS JUST PLAIN FREAKY!"
Robin stiffened. "Well, no one told you to get too close to her."
Beast Boy groaned. "I got the stupid tracking device on. Jeez, I have never been so scared in my life!"
Robin shrugged. "Let's get out of here and go to the ship."
Cyborg burst out laughing. "Garfield Logan! What kind of name is that?"
Beast Boy stiffened. "My real name."
Cyborg stopped laughing. "Oh...well, mine's Victor Stone."
Robin snapped, "I love this all get-to-know-you stuff but we got to get a move on. NOW!"
They all walked out but Beast Boy stopped. "Go ahead. I have to tie my shoe. Be there in a minute."
Robin and Cyborg shrugged and walked into the club where the lights were so dim, everything seemed dark. Suddenly, Starfire walked up to them, not able to see them in the dim light. "Hey there...my name's Emerald, what's yours?"
Robin felt all the air leave him. This was Starfire but...she acted so different, like she had a whole new personality.
He heard him say, "Emerald? But..." He suddenly remembered she didn't remember. He finished up lamely, "But that's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
Starfire blushed slightly but concealed it well. She said smoothly, "You seem like a boy who likes to have fun. Care for a dance? My last partner has seemed to disappear."
A concern look past over her tough face but she regained her tough face. 'Starfire is in there. Somewhere.' Robin thought.
"Err, well..." Robin stammered, not sure what to do.
Starfire grabbed Robin. "Let's go."
* * *
Starfire knew when she grabbed the boy's arm that she had met him before. She turned to look at him but only to find a mask. That mask...
She shook her head, ridding herself of any further memories.
Wait. That mask. She had seen him before. He was the boy Slade had told her tortured her. She shoved Robin into a wall. "You disgusting pig. First, you torture me and now, you hit on me. Get away from me!"
Robin asked, rubbing his head, "What ARE you talking about?"
Starfire said angrily, "Slade told me everything. Whatever. I'm out of this dumb." Starfire began walking out when Robin caught her wrist.
"Star, you have to believe me. Slade is using you! You are a Teen Titan and one of my best friends! You saved my life! Come on, Star, remember!"
Starfire's eyes narrowed. "Leave. Me. Alone."
She suddenly kicked him in the stomach and flew out of the dance club. Robin muttered, "Not this time, Star." And went after her.
When Robin got up, he saw no one. He looked and suddenly, from behind, was kicked hard on his back. He fell and turned around to see Starfire, smirking. "You aren't that tough after all, are you?"
Robin held up his hands. "I don't want to hurt you..."
Starfire growled, "But I want to hurt you." And then she attacked with such fury, Robin was overcome by shock.
Robin didn't want to but began to fight.
* * *
Sarah and Jinx fought, both sweating. "Come...on. You...can do...better...thank that..." Jinx said through pants and kicking.
Sarah grinned. "You know what? I can!" She suddenly kicked at Jinx's legs and Jinx fell and was too tired to stand back up. "Now that's done..."
Sarah ran back into the club and saw Cyborg. "Cyborg! Where's Star and Robin?"
Cyborg shrugged. "They disappeared together."
Sarah spotted Raven and Beast Boy dancing. She used her powers to bring them to her. "Sorry to interrupt but we lost Star and Robin."
BB nodded. "I wonder where they could be..."
All of them looked to the stairs and all ran to it. When they reached the top of the roof, they saw both Starfire and Robin locked in a deadly battle.
Robin was tossing out ever move he could and Starfire was also. She said, "Just give up already! I have no time for this!"
Robin shook his head, "Not until you come with us."
Starfire growled, "That might be awhile then."
They fought and Starfire threw some fire bolts. She mostly fought with her hands and feet, though.
Starfire suddenly delivered one last kick and said, "I have to go but this isn't over yet." She flew away.
Robin pounded the floor with his fist. "No..."
* * *
Starfire climbed back into her window. It was dark and she fumbled for the light when she heard, "Need some light?" And a light flicked on and she saw Slade by her door.
She said airily, "Oh, hey. What's up?"
Slade frowned. "I know about your little fight with the Titans. I know everything."
Starfire growled, "Good. I want to get some sleep so bye."
"Don't order me around."
"Fine. Please leave so I can sleep. Better?"
"Much."
"Good."
Slade left. Starfire plopped on her bed, tired. "Whew, that was one tough battle. Whew."
And she fell asleep.

Starfire sat in her corner; Pac in his. Twice, they had turned to glance at each other, only to turn right back to their wall.
Jinx walked in, hands on hips. She smiled. "So how are you doing? Cold? Good." She laughed but Starfire just ignored her. "What's wrong? Don't think Robin will come and save you? Well, he won't. I mean, who will want to save you? He has thousands of girls on Earth that would die to even breath his air. He could pick any girl he wants and she'll be his. But no, he has to pick the alien girl. Instead of the thousands of girls wishing to be his girlfriend."
Jinx leaned against a desk that was facing the wall. "You know, Star, there are many things you don't know about him. Like...he use to have a girlfriend."
Starfire continued ignoring Jinx, but was interested in who Robin's previous girlfriend has been. Jinx went to the bars and said coldly, "You are pathetic. A child does a better job keeping their interest contained than you. And I'll tell you who was his girlfriend. Some girl named Daisy. But hey, don't believe, that's your problem. But don't be crawling to me when you find out he ditches you like he did to Daisy."
Jinx left, leaving Starfire filled with confusion. 'Robin, where are you?' She thought, never feeling more alone.
Starfire glanced at the metal bars. Would her fire bolts have any affect against them? She tried bringing her fire bolts but they didn't come. She then realized that something was on her wrist. Something...metal. It must be stopping her from bringing forth any bolts.
Footsteps came in and soon followed was a cold voice, "I see you have discovered that your fire bolts are useless. Good. Oh, just in case you were wondering how long you are going to live, the sun sets in four hours. Have fun...it'll be the last time." With that said, Slade walked out.
She had until sunset to live. Starfire squeezed her eyes shut. 'Save me Robin.'
* * *
Robin glanced at the clock. Four hours. They had lost time while battling the Pazadanas. Robin glanced around the control room.
Raven walked in, the door shutting behind her. She said quietly, "Robin...promise me you will not do something stupid or disobey Sarah's orders to go slow if I tell you my...vision."
Robin raised an eyebrow but nodded. "I promise."
Raven told Robin her vision. Robin's eyes widened. "No...you have to be wrong..."
Raven shook her head. "My visions are 100 percent accurate all the time. I'm sorry Robin...all I know that it happens sometime after the sunsets. So even if we save Star from the poison, her memory will be...gone."
Robin's face turned grim. Raven said sharply, "You promised Robin. Don't even think of disobeying Sarah."
Robin snapped back, "And let Star lose her memory? Never..."
Raven looked enraged. "Robin, you better not. I'll lock you in your room if you even dare to move the tiniest bit faster."
Robin said through clenched teeth, "Make me."
Beast Boy walked in. "Uh...hi?"
Robin moved the ship faster. Raven shouted, "Robin, stop NOW!" The ship shook.
Robin ignored Raven. Beast Boy looked confused. Sarah walked in and used her powers to lift Robin from the pilot seat. "Sorry Robin, but off to your room." She walked out with a struggling Robin.
Cyborg had seen the whole scene. "So...Star's really going to lose her memory?"
Raven nodded. She walked over to take control of the ship.
Beast Boy glanced in the direction Sarah had dragged Robin to. "He snapped...I never knew Robin, the boy wonder, would snap. Star must mean a lot to him."
"No, Beast Boy, I would have never guessed," Raven muttered dryly.
* * *
"Sarah, let me GO!" Robin screamed. He had to save Star; he had to prevent Raven's vision from coming true.
Sarah frowned. "Robin, calm down! Jeez!"
Robin hissed, "You want Star to die, don't you? You want her to feel pain and you want her to be alone, all alone without no one or memories."
Sarah's eyes were filled with anger. "No, I don't Robin. I know how it feels to be alone. I know how it feels. I would never want it to happen to another being."
Robin turned to look at her. "So...what happened? I mean you had Slade and your sister."
Sarah looked away. "I...well, my mother had separated us from Slade. But Slade wanted me because of my powers. I was better than my sister and he wanted me more. But...the judge gave him my sister, allowing me to stay with my mom. But then...he killed my mom and he expected me to be given him but I ran away. Ever since then I've been on my own."
Robin nodded slowly. He glanced down at the floor. Sarah's voice said slowly, "Maybe if I didn't run away...my sister would be alright. And memory would be...safe."
Robin shrugged. "Make a decision and never look back at it. What's done is what is done, Sarah. None of it is your fault."
Sarah nodded and glanced at the clock, her eyes widening. "One hour until sunset. And we're not that close to the mountain top."
Robin glanced at her, shocked. "We have to get there before the sun sets. We have to!"
Sarah nodded. "We'll have to go full speed and risk being attacked. But that's a risk we're going to take."
* * *
Starfire was brought to the top of the mountain. Starfire tossed Slade a confused look and Slade said, "You're going to die tonight at sunset. Thought you should have one last sunset."
Starfire felt funny. Like...something was eating inside her stomach. Slade sighed. "The poison is taking affect. Be happy, its affects aren't as painfully as it will be. In half an hour, it will be sunset and that's when you'll really feel pain."
Starfire was kneeling on the ground, tears falling on the dirt and the ground absorbed the moisture. Her last day to live and her friends weren't there.
* * *
Five minutes before sunset. Robin pushed the controls full speed. "Come on, come on..." he muttered.
Sarah suddenly said, "There! I see it! And...there's...two people on it..."
Robin squinted and then his eyes widened. "That's Starfire! And Slade!"
The ship reached the mountain. Raven came running out of the hall, panting. "I can't get Beast Boy's door opened. He probably is listening to some song and bolted his door shut. And I am not in the mood to break down any doors. Let's just go."
Robin nodded and jumped out of the ship. "Starfire!" He screamed happily. And was he surprised when Starfire lifted her head. Tears streaked her face and her eyes held such sadness and pain. Her lip was trembling.
"R-Robin?" She whispered, wincing in pain. Robin took half a step towards her.
Slade laughed. "The poison is taking affect. And you only have two minutes until sunset."
Sarah grabbed the fruit. "Eat," she commanded Starfire who ate obediently.
"One minute," came Slade's voice.
"Starfire, faster!" Sarah demanded. A tear fell down Starfire's face but she continued eating. She then clutched her stomach in pain.
She doubled over, screaming in pain. Sarah screamed, "Starfire, EAT! If you don't you'll die! Just eat...for Robin!"
That knocked some sense into her. She grabbed the fruit with shaking hands. She ate faster and faster. "She's getting much better!" Sarah cried.
Slade started laughing. The sun fell behind him. Sarah looked confused. Raven eyes widened. "NO! Star's memories!" She cried.
Slade laughed harder. "I knew you would have a vision, Raven. That's why I had this planned." He revealed a red button. "I control everything here. And I have the power to erase all of her memories." He pushed the button.
"AH!" Starfire screamed. She held her head, trying to get rid of the pain. Robin tried running to her but Sarah held him back.
"No! Don't! Starfire might end up hurting you because she's in such pain!" Sarah screamed over Starfire's screaming.
Starfire fell to the ground. The, suddenly, she looked around, her pretty green eyes confused and empty. That was the part that hurt Robin the most. The emptiness.
She asked, "Who...who are you? And...who am I?"
**************************************************************
Ok well that's all for now...
Hey, just joking!! That's my VERY late April fool's joke!
**************************************************************
Slade jumped forward. "Watch out! These people are trying to hurt you! They hut you with a stick and knocked you out cold. Are you alright?"
Starfire looked up, confused. "What is my name?"
Slade thought for a moment. Her eyes were green..."You're name is Emerald. My, my, these cruel people have erased all of who you are!"
Starfire said, turning hating eyes towards the Titans, "You...are...the cruelest people! Who would do such a thing?"
Robin stepped forward. "No, wait..."
Starfire snapped, "No. Leave me alone. Now!"
Slade shot ropes that held the Titans tightly. Unable to move, they could only watch as Starfire walked back to Slade. "Please take me home, away from these...monsters!"
Slade nodded. "Come, Emerald. If I am to regain your memories, we shall do the places you know best."
She nodded. She walked back to the ship with one last hating glance at the Titans.
Robin cried, "STARFIRE!" Just as the ship roared to life. And it blasted away.
* * *
"This is your room," Slade said, directing Starfire to a pretty room, not the prison cell. "You have lived with me for your whole life, training and learning from me. I shall re train you and maybe spark some memories from our training exercises."
Starfire nodded. "Thank you...I am sorry, I did not catch your name."
"Call me Master. That is what you use to call me," Slade responded.
"Yes...Master."
"Also, this is your uniform." Slade showed Starfire the same outfit Robin had when he was Slade's apprentice except Starfire's was all black.
Jinx walked in. She nodded towards Starfire, knowing that Slade erased her memories. "Emerald! You are alright!" Jinx cried in false happiness and relief.
Starfire looked blank. "Who are you?"
Jinx said, hugging Star, "It's me! Jinx! Your best friend! Come on, Emerald!"
Starfire just frowned. "I'm...sorry. My memory hasn't returned yet. Oh well. Hello Jinx."
Jinx grinned. 'She's more of an idiot than I expected.'
Slade cleared his throat. "Let us leave Emerald alone. Come, Jinx."
Jinx obeyed, walking out with Slade. Starfire sat on her bed, confused. Who was she? She flopped on the bed on her stomach. This was confusing. And that boy...he had screamed something...what was it? She suddenly remembered. It had been Starfire.
Suddenly, she had a memory. They boy had said her name before. She remembered feeling...ugly. She had thought of herself as a monster and started flying into space when the boy had screamed the name Starfire. She blinked. She held her head in frustration. This wasn't fun.
* * *
"So, I have to be with the bimbo?" Jinx asked Slade, looking bored.
Slade nodded. "But for now, I'll train her in my ways. She might even be a better fighter than Robin."
Jinx nodded, leaning against the desk. "Whatever. So what do I have to do with her?"
Slade replied, "Be a friend to her, get close. And if she starts remembering, tell her she must be making it up. By then, you'll be close to her she'll believe you and drive out the memories."
Slade walked to her room. "Emerald? We must train immediately."
She walked out; dressed in her uniform Slade had given her. She nodded. "I am ready, Master."
Slade nodded back and walked with her to the training room. She then stopped short, her eyes taking a glazed look.
Starfire was having a memory. She was training. She was flying and turned around to shot some flying objects. She continued flying and let another girl toss some pillars at the rest of the flying objects. (Remember Only Human?)
She blinked again. She turned to Slade and asked, "Master, I just had a memory, I believe. I...I was training with others. There was a girl..."
Slade shook his head. "They were making you train until you almost died. That girl, she was probably aiming for you."
Starfire nodded. "Yes, Master."
Slade gestured at the training room. "Here, we shall reform you into the fighter you are."
She nodded. "I am ready."
* * *
After training for two hours with Slade, Starfire was panting heavily. Slade shook his head. "You can do much better, Emerald. Now, show me!"
She nodded and attacked. Slade just moved and dodged her attacks. She flipped, kicking him while turning. "I think I'm proving myself just fine," she said with a grin. Slade went flying back only to flip back up. He attacked, knocking her into a wall. She pushed off the wall and flew over his head, kicking him.
"Not yet, Emerald. Not yet."
Both of them fought their hardest. Finally, Slade said, "You have progressed much and have done very well. You have pleased me. Return to your quarters where you will sleep until tomorrow." Slade was happy. Ever time she took a swing; she seemed to grow more bitter and hating. Perfect.
She bowed. "Yes, Master."
She walked tiredly to her room and opened the door to find Jinx on her bed, reading a magazine. "What are you doing in my room?" She snapped, bitterness in her voice.
Jinx shrugged. "Just hanging out." She glanced at Starfire who was sweating. "Tough training?"
Starfire only nodded and went to take a shower. When she emerged, she was fresher.
It was midnight and she suddenly heard something. "Did you hear that?" Starfire asked.
Jinx listened. It was pounding music, just like at clubs on Earth. "Yeah, so?"
Starfire grinned. "How about a girls night out?"
Jinx shrugged. "Whatever."
Starfire picked an outfit out. She picked a tube red shirt that revealed her stomach, a mini red skirt that was tight and boots that were red (Her boots as her Teen Titans uniform, except they are red and on the top where there is silver, on Emerald's there is black.)
Jinx eyed her. Starfire asked, "Need anything to wear, Jinx?"
Jinx motioned to her outfit. "This is what I'm wearing."
Starfire frowned. "Ok, your choice. Let's go!" She grabbed Jinx hand and flew out of the window.
Little did she know that Slade was watching and he was smiling. "Go on, Starfire. Have fun. It might be the last time you do."
* * *
Sarah made Robin go to the dance party. It was a distraction. But it wasn't working. He sat on a stool, watching everyone dancing.
He seemed to have a fan club where Pazadana girls surrounded him, batting their eyes at him and flirting with the leader.
"Whoa! Look at those girls!" Beast Boy exclaimed. Cyborg looked and his mouth, along with Beast Boy's, fell open, hitting the floor. Sarah smacked Cyborg and Raven smacked Beast Boy.
"Hey, excuse me? I'm right here you know!" Sarah exclaimed.
Cyborg grinned sheepishly. "Sorry..."
Sarah and Cyborg went to the dance floor, dancing. Beast Boy played with his fingers. "So...Raven...want to dance?"
Raven glanced at him and sighed. "Fine. But don't get any ideas."
Off they went, leaving Robin with the Pazadana girls. "Hey...my name is Samara. What's yours, cutie?" One girl asked, batting her long eyelashes.
Robin glanced at her and looked away. She inched into his face, her mouth millimeters away from his lips. "Come on, you aren't scared of little ole me, are you?"
Robin frowned and was about to say something when SHE came in. Starfire walked in with a whole new outfit and with Jinx. She smiled at all the boys and walked by them, leaving them with their mouths open. She winked at a couple and most of them followed her, dazed by the red head beauty.
Robin could barely breath. She was fine and unharmed. Sure, she was different but she was safe. He moved past Samara and walked in daze after Starfire.
One Pazadana boy with blonde hair and blue eyes walked up to her and said with a wink, "Hey. My name is Macro. What's yours?"
Starfire batted her eyes. "Emerald."
'Emerald?' Robin thought, confused. Sarah walked over. "Robin..." she said and she saw Starfire. Sarah's eyes widened. She grabbed Robin and dragged him to the refreshments. "Robin, that was Starfire! But...her memory...and what was she doing with Jinx?"
"Hey, now that's not nice. Talking about people behind their backs," came Jinx's voice, purring. Sarah whirled on her.
"What happened to Starfire? She...she doesn't act all like that!"
Jinx shrugged. "First, her name is now Emerald. Second, her memory is gone, Slade filled it and trained her, she wanted to go to party and I went too. That's what happened."
Sarah fumed. Jinx said, "Well, anyways, she won't see you. I'll make sure of it."
Sarah grabbed Jinx and threw her out of the club. "Robin, get Star! I'll deal with Jinx! Go!"
Robin nodded. Cyborg asked, "Dude, is that Star? She looks...wow!"
Robin gave him the death glare. Cyborg grinned nervously and anime sweat dropped.
"Wait, Robin, she already saw you and hates you. She won't let you get too close to her. And she saw me too..."
They both glanced at Beast Boy. "EEK! No way!"
Cyborg said, "All you got to do is put this wee little tracking device to her and that's that. Can you handle that?"
Beast Boy groaned. "Alright, alright. Raven, hold this," he handed Raven his cup of punch. "Beast Boy going to go put a tracking device!"
Beast Boy walked over to Starfire and cleared his throat. "Hey there. My name is..."
Cyborg said in the communicator in his ear, "DON"T USE YOUR REAL NAME!"
"My name is...Garfield Logan!" Beast Boy said out loud.
Starfire smiled but BB realized her eyes weren't as cheerful and as innocent they use to be. "My name is Emerald. Hey, want to dance?" A slow song came on. Beast Boy gulped and glanced at Starfire in her outfit.
"Err...sure..." Starfire grabbed him and pulled him on the dance floor where other couples gathered. She out her hands around his neck and put her lips right next to his ear.
Beast Boy gulped again but put his hands around her waist. 'Ok, the tracking device, put on her skirt, you can do this...'
"Beast Boy, get your hands off Star!" Robin's voice whispered in his ear, the opposite where Starfire mouth was.
Beast Boy smiled nervously. Starfire whispered, "Don't be nervous. I'll take good care of you..."
Beast Boy's face turned white. He quickly stuck the tracking device on her. "Err...that's ok. Just realized, I can't dance! Heh, well, I'll be going!" He started walking away but Starfire grabbed him and pulled him close, her mouth so close to his.
"Don't leave." She pouted. "Stay with me." Beast Boy's face was dead white.
Raven exploded a ceiling lamp.
Robin tensed. "Get BB away from Star! If they kiss..."
Cyborg, "Whoa...just whoa."
Beast Boy, "Err, well, err...you're a nice person and all but...I HAVE TO GO TO THE POTTY!" 'Smooth, BB, real smooth.'
Starfire pouted. "Do you have to? I mean...wouldn't you rather be with me?" She trailed her finger down Beast Boy's face.
"Err...the potty's calling! BE RIGHT BACK!" He then ran to the bathroom at full speed.
Robin and Cyborg followed and found Beast Boy dumping water on his head. "Dude, calm down." Cyborg said.
Beast Boy exploded, "CALM DOWN? YOU CALM DOWN WHEN YOU'RE BEST FRIEND ALMOST KISSES YOU! THAT WAS JUST PLAIN FREAKY!"
Robin stiffened. "Well, no one told you to get too close to her."
Beast Boy groaned. "I got the stupid tracking device on. Jeez, I have never been so scared in my life!"
Robin shrugged. "Let's get out of here and go to the ship."
Cyborg burst out laughing. "Garfield Logan! What kind of name is that?"
Beast Boy stiffened. "My real name."
Cyborg stopped laughing. "Oh...well, mine's Victor Stone."
Robin snapped, "I love this all get-to-know-you stuff but we got to get a move on. NOW!"
They all walked out but Beast Boy stopped. "Go ahead. I have to tie my shoe. Be there in a minute."
Robin and Cyborg shrugged and walked into the club where the lights were so dim, everything seemed dark. Suddenly, Starfire walked up to them, not able to see them in the dim light. "Hey there...my name's Emerald, what's yours?"
Robin felt all the air leave him. This was Starfire but...she acted so different, like she had a whole new personality.
He heard him say, "Emerald? But..." He suddenly remembered she didn't remember. He finished up lamely, "But that's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl."
Starfire blushed slightly but concealed it well. She said smoothly, "You seem like a boy who likes to have fun. Care for a dance? My last partner has seemed to disappear."
A concern look past over her tough face but she regained her tough face. 'Starfire is in there. Somewhere.' Robin thought.
"Err, well..." Robin stammered, not sure what to do.
Starfire grabbed Robin. "Let's go."
* * *
Starfire knew when she grabbed the boy's arm that she had met him before. She turned to look at him but only to find a mask. That mask...
She shook her head, ridding herself of any further memories.
Wait. That mask. She had seen him before. He was the boy Slade had told her tortured her. She shoved Robin into a wall. "You disgusting pig. First, you torture me and now, you hit on me. Get away from me!"
Robin asked, rubbing his head, "What ARE you talking about?"
Starfire said angrily, "Slade told me everything. Whatever. I'm out of this dumb." Starfire began walking out when Robin caught her wrist.
"Star, you have to believe me. Slade is using you! You are a Teen Titan and one of my best friends! You saved my life! Come on, Star, remember!"
Starfire's eyes narrowed. "Leave. Me. Alone."
She suddenly kicked him in the stomach and flew out of the dance club. Robin muttered, "Not this time, Star." And went after her.
When Robin got up, he saw no one. He looked and suddenly, from behind, was kicked hard on his back. He fell and turned around to see Starfire, smirking. "You aren't that tough after all, are you?"
Robin held up his hands. "I don't want to hurt you..."
Starfire growled, "But I want to hurt you." And then she attacked with such fury, Robin was overcome by shock.
Robin didn't want to but began to fight.
* * *
Sarah and Jinx fought, both sweating. "Come...on. You...can do...better...thank that..." Jinx said through pants and kicking.
Sarah grinned. "You know what? I can!" She suddenly kicked at Jinx's legs and Jinx fell and was too tired to stand back up. "Now that's done..."
Sarah ran back into the club and saw Cyborg. "Cyborg! Where's Star and Robin?"
Cyborg shrugged. "They disappeared together."
Sarah spotted Raven and Beast Boy dancing. She used her powers to bring them to her. "Sorry to interrupt but we lost Star and Robin."
BB nodded. "I wonder where they could be..."
All of them looked to the stairs and all ran to it. When they reached the top of the roof, they saw both Starfire and Robin locked in a deadly battle.
Robin was tossing out ever move he could and Starfire was also. She said, "Just give up already! I have no time for this!"
Robin shook his head, "Not until you come with us."
Starfire growled, "That might be awhile then."
They fought and Starfire threw some fire bolts. She mostly fought with her hands and feet, though.
Starfire suddenly delivered one last kick and said, "I have to go but this isn't over yet." She flew away.
Robin pounded the floor with his fist. "No..."
* * *
Starfire climbed back into her window. It was dark and she fumbled for the light when she heard, "Need some light?" And a light flicked on and she saw Slade by her door.
She said airily, "Oh, hey. What's up?"
Slade frowned. "I know about your little fight with the Titans. I know everything."
Starfire growled, "Good. I want to get some sleep so bye."
"Don't order me around."
"Fine. Please leave so I can sleep. Better?"
"Much."
"Good."
Slade left. Starfire plopped on her bed, tired. "Whew, that was one tough battle. Whew."
And she fell asleep.
