Pirates of the Caribbean. But that movie rocks!
Dedication: My amazing friends. You guys are so cool! Iluvyou!

Raven sighed. "What can we do?"
"Are you saying it's hopeless?"
"No, I just don't see what we can do."
"Sounds hopeless to me........."
"Just because I can't think of a way to keep Star from leaving doesn't mean it's hopeless........."
"So, we just need a plan."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Star wandered into the workout room, looking around. She decided the best thing in the room to help relax her was Robin's punching bag. Clearing her mind, she began training, thinking of nothing but the bag.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Robin was just in front of his room when he heard noise from down the hall. Following the noises, he stopped in the doorway of the workout room, and watched Star punching and kicking at the bag hanging from the ceiling. After watching her train a bit, he wandered into the room. She didn't notice him.
"Hey Star." She jumped and turned to him.
"Hey Rob-" He stepped forward and stopped the punching bag that was about to ram into her. She blushed slightly at her carelessness. "Thanks." He smiled faintly.
"No problem." They stood in silence.
"Well.........I better go get dinner started. Flare and I have a long trip ahead of us." She said finally.
"Yeah.........ok........." She smiled and walked out. He turned and punched the bag as hard as he could, completely frustrated with himself for letting this happen.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Jen walked into the kitchen.
"Hello Starfire." She looked over her shoulder and smiled kindly and Jen.
Hi Jen. Did you need something or are you just wandering?"
"Wandering. "She paused. "So, you have a little crush on Robin, hmm?" Star's cheeks turned pink, but she didn't have time to respond as Jen continued. "I thought so. I just wanted to tell you to stay the hell away from him and go back to wherever it is you came from you preppy slut!" Star turned, wide-eyed as Jen walked from the room. She sighed.
"Well.........isn't she pleasant........."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Star set the plates before the six people at the table, then sat down with her own.
"Star! This is wonderful!"
"I'd forgotten what good cooking was!"
"My tofu was good before, but wow! Whatever you did, it's great!"
"I didn't do anything special........." She replied modestly.
"So, Robin, how long have you and her been together?" Flare asked curiously, pointing to Jen.
"Flare-" Star warned.
"It's ok Star." He turned to Flare. "Well, Jen and I have been together since yesterday."
"And how long have you known Star?"
"Flare, eat your dinner."
"I've known Star for about six years now? If you count the four we were apart."
"And you two are friends, right?"
"Yes."
"Good friends?"
"Best friends."
"And-" Jen stood up quickly.
"Shut up you little brat!" Flare sunk down in her seat, close to tears. Four Titans stared at Jen is shock, while the fifth jumped up.
"Don't yell at her. She's not your problem. I'll handle her."
"Then maybe you should start doing your job! She-"
"Is my sister. I'll deal with her. Worry about yourself." Jen sat down, fuming, Star calmly following suit. Robin gave Jen an angry look while the remaining Titans smiled over Star putting their snobby, unwanted guest in her place. Star looked over at Flare.
"Eat your dinner hon." She smiled at Flare reassuringly. The girl smiled back, sitting up and eating. Jen stood up with her plate.
"I'll microwave some leftovers and eat in my room. It'll be better than this shit." Robin started to rise, but Star pulled him back down.
"Let it go. No one said she had to like my cooking." He sat back down, and even after Jen left they ate the rest of dinner in silence.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
The Titans had formed on the roof. Cyborg loaded Flare's pod onto the ship.
"Well.........I guess this is goodbye........." Star hugged Raven, and she actually hugged back. After a moment Star took a step back and moved over to Beastboy.
"Star.........please stay. I'll do the face." He became a tiny cat and jumped into her arms, looking up at her with huge, pleading eyes. She petted him softly.
"Sorry B........." He jumped down and resumed normal form. She hugged him.
"Bye Star........." She waved and stepped over to Cy. He picked her up in a tight hug.
"Don't do this........." He whispered.
"I have to. Please understand........." He set her down and she walked over to Robin.
"Before I go there's something I have to say." She swallowed. "First, I'm glad you're happy with Jen. That's all I want is for you to be happy. Second, once I'm on that ship, I want you to forget what I'm about to say. But I wouldn't be able to live with myself without having said this." She hugged him, and he hugged back. He felt her tears fall onto his shoulder. "Robin, I love you." She released him and flew into the ship quickly. He couldn't move. He couldn't breathe. She loved him......... She actually loved him.........
Star waved as the door closed. Cy elbowed Robin and decided to quote Pirates of the Caribbean.
"If you were waiting for the opportune moment.........that was it." Robin snapped from his trance and ran for the ship. He jumped off the Tower roof and reached for the ship, missing by centimeters and began falling.
Raven quickly ran and jumped off the Tower, catching Robin and bringing him back to the Tower roof, setting him down safely. He dropped to his knees and showed his teammates something he always tried to hide: his tears.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Star collapsed against the door, tears streaming down her cheeks. Flare put the ship on autopilot and came out to comfort her sister. Star held the small girl and cried into her hair until she fell asleep.
