Dedication: My family. Just because.

Star stopped, and turned to face him.
"My fiancé?" Her mother beamed at her, stroking her hair.
"Surprise sweetheart!" Star looked at her in horrified shock. Her father tried not to laugh at her current expression.
"Now don't tell me you forgot it's a Tamaranian custom for us to pick someone for you to wed by your 18th birthday during your star on earth..." She shook her head and looked at her mother.
"I can't get married."
"Sure you can! All the plans are set! Your wedding is in four days. Now, I'm going to go start lunch." She kissed Star on the cheek and walked to the kitchen. Star looked at her father and sighed.
'Well, here goes nothing...'
"I can't get married." He smiled more.
"And why not?" She stammered for an answer. He laughed. "Don't tell me you've fallen for someone on earth?" He laughed and walked off before she could answer. She sighed. A war she could handle. But a marriage was way too much for her...

"Robin, what are you doing?" Beastboy asked curiously.
"She said she had her communicator, right? Well, I'm calling her." He waited a moment, holding his breath, wondering if it would really work from her planet. But then, she'd received transmissions from them, right?
"Nothing!" He sighed.
"It should be working....unless someone messed with her communicator..."
"You think she's ok?"
"Robin, I'm sure she's fine..." The alarm went off. They all looked at Robin. He sighed.
"Titans, move out!"
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Star sat on her bed, her knees pulled to her chest. She was thankful that Blaze had made something up and moved her 'fiancé' to the spare bedroom without her ever having to see him. She sighed.
'Ok, all I have to do is get through this week without getting married, then I'm off to training for battle. But how?' She closed her eyes and rested her head on her knees. 'WHY ARE THINGS SO FREAKING HARD!' She lifted her head. 'Ok, relax...don't think about it...just relax...' She took a deep breath and began meditating, just like Raven taught her, muttering Raven's key phrase under her breath.
The door opened quietly. She didn't notice.
"Star? What are you doing?" Startled, she lost her concentration and fell to the floor. Blaze smiled sheepishly. "Sorry...but what were you doing?"
"Meditating." She took note of his confused look. "Something I learned on earth. I'll explain it later..." He shook his head.
"Don't bother, I don't wanna know..." She laughed at his expression.
"So, I doubt you came up here to watch me meditate, so, what's up?" His face went serious.
"Lunch is almost ready. You're going to have to come down and meet this guy..." She sighed.
"I'll be down in a minute."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
The Titans wondered back in, exhausted.
"So, that went well..." B said, collapsing to the floor. Robin dropped to the couch.
"We need Star back..."
"She's gone, and there's nothing we can do about it. It's pointless to worry about something we can't change." Raven said emotionlessly, falling into a chair.
"There is something we can do about it...there has to be..."
