Hey guys! As always I thank you for the reviews. 23 Reviews is like the
most I've ever gotten after 3 chapters. Thank you for all the support! I
won't be updating too often though considering all of my upcoming
schoolwork. This will probably be one of the shortest chapters.
Reviews: sexybitch, iviper, DeeDeeBATSY, Cheerful Oblivious, Hermionestar2020, Zerin Empress, Maria Ramirez, starfir966, OmegaPirate, Brie, Kitty Kat-chan, Freespirit26, blue angel, and Isis2! Thank you all for the compliments and support. Just as there is no living without dying and no dying without living, there isn't a story without reviews and no reviews without a story. That's how it all means to me. *Cries* Now before I cry and ruin my computer, let's get on with the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. (Damn! That gets tiring.)

Robin's Rival
Ever since yesterday she had been dreading this morning.
'Why couldn't BB keep his mouth shut!' She said in her mind even if it was in a more polite way. She sighed.
The titans were currently at the park waiting for their new friend. 'That's what they think.' Starfire again thought.
She had her face resting on her hands as she tried to sit up straight on the park bench.
Robin was sitting next to her and since last night's event, he kept on glancing at her as if she would collapse any second.
"Star? You sure you don't wanna stay home?" He asked again for the 50th time.
"No thank you Robin. I do not wish to ruin your fun with me having to stay home and keeping you there with me." She responded with a smile.
"Yet I don't think I'll have fun here if you keep on frowning." Robin looked at Starfire's surprised glance.
"I am thankful of your concern but it is not necessary." She just finished saying as they heard running footsteps from up the path.
"Sorry I'm late! There were some difficulties aboard my ship." He said while his hands were on his knees and he was panting.
"Hey Deathfire. Why didn't you just fly? All the people here are used to it." BB popped in from nowhere.
"I didn't want to attract too much attention." He replied calmly.
"Well hurry up and play some ball with us!" Cyborg had just ran up to them.
"I think I've heard of this game. Is it football?" He asked innocently.
"Yea! Come on, you can be on my team." BB dragged him away to the field and Cyborg followed them.
Robin just got up to follow them when he looked at Starfire again. "You ok?" He asked quietly.
"Go and join them in their game. I shall watch. I'll be cheering for your victory." She cheerfully waved at him and he finally joined the other boys.
Raven who had been sitting under a tree came to join her. "You for some reason look troubled." She told her as she sat down.
"It's just that, well, I was originally." A ball was heading towards them.
"Yo! Watch out!" BB voice was heard as Raven telepathically stopped the football that was a foot away from Starfire's face.
"I avoid playing your games for many reasons you know. And getting hit in the face with a ball is one of them!" Raven threatened monotonously.
"Right! I'll just go now." BB stepped back.
"Deathfire. You threw that right? Yea, then its Robin's ball now." BB threw the ball back in and the game resumed.
'HE almost hit me? What kind of gesture is that? He didn't let me finish my conversation with Raven about.' She didn't dare think more about it.
She continued to watch the boys and didn't continue her talk with Raven since she kept on muttering things about how BB is so irresponsible under her breath.
She then drifted to sleep with the wind blowing the hair off her face and the sounds of the birds relaxing her thoughts and soon her mind turned to dreams.
*
She was running in the hallway. She was heading to her dormitory when she ran into the person that she would have wanted to the least in the universe.
"Well excuse me miss. I hope I didn't hurt you." He politely bowed.
"I wish for you to stay away the longest distance away from me as possible!" With that she stormed off.
She was always such a cheerful girl. Whenever she saw that boy she just got really angry and you could no longer see that pretty smile.
She finally reached her room and flung herself on her bed.
"It hurts me to leave my parents and my sister, but I cannot stay and spend my life with the person I dislike the most." She started to cry.
Her sister appeared at the doorway. "Well don't tell me my little sister is crying again?" She laughed again.
"Blackfire, I must leave Tamaran unless I wish to live a life of unhappiness." She said wide into the open.
"Leave Tamaran unless you want to live a life of unhappiness? You have got to be joking right?" She laughed even harder. The girl just looked at her with a puzzled face.
"You are obviously the favorite and even though you are the youngest, you will not surprisingly be the successor to the family. I don't see any unhappiness in that now do I?" The older sister talked with sarcasm.
"I have my reasons sister and you should find out tomorrow but right now I need you to help me escape." She looked at her sister who was right now giving it a thought.
"All right little sis. If you want to play unwanted right now then I'll help you. If you get caught however, I will not be held responsible." She said with a mischievous smile.
"Oh thank you sister! I knew you would understand!" She flung herself into her sister.
"Hey! Get off me! I just had this outfit made by the royal tailor." She said as she wriggled herself from her sibling's grasp.
The girl packed some belongings and followed her big sister to a small space pod.
"If you take one of these then you will go undetected. Now where should I program this thing to take you?" She tried to find a planet that was the farthest away as possible.
"Sister? Where am I going to land?" The younger one asked curiously.
"I think its called Earth." Just then they heard footsteps.
"Hurry. I'll cover for you." Blackfire pushed her sister into the small pod and shut the door.
Through the clear glass window, the girl could be barely heard saying her thanks.
"Bye Blackfire! I will write to you by transmissions! I hope to see you again soon!" With that her pod left and the other girl was left alone at the port.
"Well, who would have guessed it would've been that easy to get of her. I'll just have to act my way out of this then." With that she let out an ear-shattering scream.
"HELP! Something has kidnapped my sister! Help! Someone please help!" After a minute, the same boy that had told her off earlier appeared with two guards at his side.
"Blackfire! What has happened? Where is your sister?" He half ran and flew over to her.
"A monster came and grabbed her into one of those pods. I tried to stop it but it overpowered me and just left." She was faking tears now.
"NO! Try to track that thing down now!" He yelled at the two guards.
" I will get you back! Starfire!" He screamed at the sky while the guards went inside to call on a search.
Many space miles away, a girl named Starfire was smiling as she watched herself fly past the stars. 'I just hope that wherever planet Earth is, it will not bring as many troubles as my past home did. I hope to forget the past and make a new future.' She thought while she slowly closed her eyes.
*
Starfire awoke to find Raven reading next to her and then she turned her head toward the field.
The boys were a mess. They had dirt all over them and they looked like they were playing for their lives.
People have stopped and stood there to watch them. They were all intently watching which titan would be the first to go down.
Raven was paying no attention and was continuing to read her book.
"Um Raven? How long have I been asleep?" Starfire timidly asked Raven.
"I don't know how long you've been asleep but these idiots here have been trying to commit suicide for well over about two hours." She said while pointing to the boys.
Currently it looked like it was never going to end. It was like a battlefield. There were holes everywhere and all of them were sweating intensively.
"Come on Robin. Score is tied and we need this goal to win. We have only about two minutes till sundown. Can you make it?" Cyborg asked Robin who was running in his place.
"Sure. No problem, but now that we're assured victory, I'll just seize the moment." He caught his breath and turned his head to Starfire.
"Hey Star! Remember how you said you'd cheer for my victory? Well start cheering cuz this one's for you!" He took the ball from Cyborg and passed it back to him.
Robin dodged BB as he made his way across the field. He ran as Cyborg threw the ball from the opposite side of the field. He jumped as high as he could, preparing to land behind the trashcans.
The ball was getting closer to his hands. He could see it coming as if in slow motion. He felt his fingers get hold of it.
He then finally felt himself land in the mud with his hand clutch on the ball. He had done it.
"OOH YEAH! Robin! We did it!" Cyborg was running toward him with his hands in the air.
Robin stood up with the ball still in his hands and jumped up and down.
"FINALLY! Do you have any clue of how much time your little piece of enjoyment took?" Raven stomped her way across the field to them with a smiling Starfire behind her.
"ROBIN! That was amazing! I am overjoyed for your victory!" Starfire squealed with delight.
"Thanks Star. But you know, it was you that gave me the motivation." He blushed at his words.
Starfire could not help but blush as well
"That was wonderful of you Robin." Starfire then heard something slithering behind her.
"I. Need. Water.." BB was crawling on the ground with his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
Deathfire was walking a feet behind him. He didn't look too happy.
"I congratulate you on your victory but I am afraid that must be leaving now." He said in a strained tone and then flew off towards the mountains.
"Well, sure is a good sport in a bizarre way." BB sweat drops.
"Come friends! I shall take the honor in buying you all pizza with a night of movie watching." Starfire changed the subject and led them toward the tower.
"Well you seem fine right now Star. Are you feeling better?" Robin asked while she carried him over the ocean over to the island.
"Yes Robin. I am feeling much more better for some unknown reason." She said cheerfully.
~*~
Meanwhile up in the mountains, dark plans were at work. A loud thud was heard as a boy banged his fist on his table.
"I can't believe I lost to those earthlings in a simple child's game! They weren't even using their powers either." His eyes were glowing black.
"It doesn't matter anyway. I have befriended the titans and phase two of my plan begins. Turn on the speakers and link them to the device I planted." He ordered to no one in particular. *
Some static was heard. "Hey Robin! Pass over the other box will you?" BB's voice was heard.
"Why don't you pigs wait for Starfire to come back from the kitchen! I know she would want some of the pizza that SHE paid for!" Robin retorted angrily. *
"That will be enough. I understand that Robin also has feelings for her. It will not matter tomorrow anyway. Are all the battle drones ready yet?"
"Yes Master Deathfire." An unknown voice spoke.
"Excellent. Set them to seek out the leader of the titans tomorrow. As soon as he is alone, destroy him. I want to bring to the thief's blood to Tamaran so everyone knows that with Deathfire of Tamaran, there is no mercy against crimes." He concluded. All lights are out.

I wanted to include more than just a football game you know. The thing is really based on Starfire's past though. This is the chapter with the most fluff and it is the shortest. I will update soon but I cannot promise you that it'll be within a week. REVIEW! -Story Dedicated To C.C. & A.H.
