Disclaimer: I do not own the Teen Titans. (Damn that gets annoying!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was the night all the teens in the city were waiting for. All of them could be seen on the streets or crowded on the bus all heading downtown.
There was a party and among those teens, the teens titans were also anxiously waiting for the party to start, well at least some of them.
"I cannot believe I am actually going to some pointless party again!" Raven muttered to herself as she walked silently with her friends and a dog.
"Oh come on Raven. You act as if you'll die if you take just one step on the dance floor." BB turned back into his dog shape.
"Yea Raven, you might meet the dog of your dreams for all you know." Cyborg slyly snickered.
BB turned back into himself and forgetting his small size brought his face toward Cyborg's ear.
"Look dude. If I hear another one of those lame cracks of yours then tonight will be your last night as a solid piece of metal." BB threatened him.
"Alright then. I won't tease you anymore." Cyborg walked faster and as soon as he was out of BB's earshot range said, "Much."
"So will tonight's festivities be just like last time's?" Starfire asked Robin.
"Yea, without dangerous robots charging through the ceiling though." Robin chuckled.
They arrived at the entrance of the warehouse. Already they could see the flashing lights through the window and the pounding music could be felt against the walls.
As they entered they turned many heads as they cleared a path towards the middle.
"Well, I don't know about you guys but it's time for me to start rocking!" BB started to stretch and many people started to back away from him.
"Hold on there tiger, why don't you slow down before you hurt yourself or even worse, me!" Cyborg tried to stop him.
"Why don't both of you stop with the insults already because neither of you can dance!" Raven stated and left to join a couple of Goth girls near the snack table.
BB blushed and left. "Just wait, I'll show them. I can dance." BB conversed with himself as he walked away.
Robin and Starfire just stared clueless at the other three until they left. Robin broke the silence.
"So, now that they found something to do, do you wanna start to have some fun?" Robin shrugged.
"I would like to except I do not know how to dance." Starfire blushed as she watched the people beside them dance.
"It's easy. You just take my hands and follow my lead." Robin reached his hands out.
"Alright. Just don't laugh ok." Starfire slowly gave him her hands.
"Don't worry I won't." He grasped her hands and a smooth song came on.
"Ok this is a good song to start with. Its not so fast and not too slow so just go along with it ok." Robin started move with a couple of steps.
Starfire couldn't believe her eyes. She was actually dancing. Robin apparently was a good teacher because they just seemed to glide along the dance floor.
The song ended and another faster pop song came on. "It looks like you got the hang of it, let's try to do it a little faster." Robin started with her nodding.
They looked amazing. Soon people cleared the floor and watched them dance to a fast tango-like song.
(A/N I have no clue what the name of the kind of dance this is! Just to get a picture of the type just listen to the song 'Objection' by Shakira and you kind of get an idea.)
Starfire could only watch as her feet moved just the way they were supposed to be. She looked up to see Robin looking down at his and he was making sure not to step on her feet with his metal shoes.
She could even hear him counting '1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3,' to himself. She couldn't help but smile.
The song was ending and she wished it wouldn't. She was having so much fun and when it did, she hardly wanted to let go to his hands. She felt stupid not wanting to let go, after all, it was just one dance.
"You are a very good teacher and dancer Robin." She complimented him.
"Well I guess I get it from the Bats and his fancy parties." He laughed.
"Yo guys! You two kicked butt out there! Too bad you made too much impression on Beast Boy though, he's about to do something stupid right about now." Cyborg yelled to them over the noise.
Robin and Starfire blushed at his comments and then turned to look at Beast Boy who was hiding behind the snack table whispering to himself.
"I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, no, I KNOW I can!" He got up and ignored the creeped out faces and went to a clearing that was not too far from Raven and began to stretch as if attempting a high dive. Hip-hop music went on.
Beast Boy just went with the flow and did his best moves and moves he could think of. He attracted so many people and they began to chant.
"Go BEAST BOY! GO BEAST BOY! GO BEASTBOY!" Starfire, Robin, and Cyborg walked over to the crowd and were surprised to see their friend doing the moonwalk and the electric slide.
"I never thought the little guy had it in him?" Cyborg wondered in amazement.
"Where is Raven? Surely she would like to see our friend in his moment of delight." Starfire looked around to see that Raven was still talking with the group of Goth girls at the snack table.
"Maybe I should help get them along." Starfire left the crowd and walked over to Raven.
"Dear Raven! Maybe you would like to join me in cheering for our friend over there?" Starfire grabbed onto her hand and tugged.
"No thank you Starfire. I don't want to see him making a fool of himself." She strained to stop Starfire from dragging her towards the crowd.
"But Raven! I insist that you gaze upon this now!" Starfire was almost there. Just a few more feet.
"No Starfire, seriously! Now why would I want to see his little smug face?" Raven was now struggling with all her might and stopped when she saw BB having the time of his life. She smiled, a real actual smile.
BB however was running out of moves and when he saw her smile in the crowd, he just froze. 'She is actually smiling at me?' his thoughts were interrupted as he slipped and fell on his butt and could hear people laughing and leaving.
"OH Man! How could I have slipped with these shoes?" BB's head hung low as he stared as his sneakers.
"I though you were great." He felt a hand on his shoulder and found himself being helped up by Raven.
"You really think so?" BB began to blush as he reached for the back of his head.
"Positive." Raven brought his hand down and led him away to the snack table to have a drink.
Cyborg just looked proudly at himself. "Well, it's about time they made a move. All it took was my help to get them started." Cyborg ignored Starfire and Robin falling on their backs.
"What do you mean you helped them get along! You almost destroyed every chance they had!" Robin complained.
"You just saying that because you're jealous that Beast Boy asked for my help and not yours! Plus you haven't made your move either!" Cyborg towered over Robin.
"What are you talking about? He didn't ask for either of our help! And I haven't done anything because well... well..." Robin just stuttered because he realized Starfire was still standing right there.
"May I please speak to you in private?" Without waiting for a response, Robin dragged Cyborg to the back while Starfire joined Raven and Beast Boy.
"Ok man, why don't you just stop pretending you don't care for her and tell her how you feel!" Cyborg yelled at Robin.
"What makes you think I do care for her? In the girlfriend sort of way?" Robin added quickly.
"Oh PLEASE! It's been known for so long that you like Starfire. Its always 'Starfire! Are you ok?' or 'Starfire! What's wrong?' and 'Blackfire could never take your place, no one could ever take YOUR place' I mean HELLO! It's so obvious." Cyborg crossed his arms in contentment.
"Why have you been spying on me anyway? Even if I might like her in that special kind of way, you don't have to spy on us because you're only making it worse!" Robin snapped at Cyborg.
"SORRY! Fine, I won't spy on you guys but hurry up and make a move or somebody else will." Cyborg left Robin thinking for a minute.
Robin left the back and walked over to where Starfire sat with BB and Raven.
The party had gone on for a while and soon it was time to leave. They left silently and started to head back to the tower. Beast Boy and Raven were chatting about the things they liked and were really connecting with each other.
Robin kept on looking downwards and continued to think about what Cyborg had said. 'Will someone really take Starfire away if I don't tell her how I feel? Maybe he's right. Maybe in the end I will end up losing her if I don't step up to bat. I just can't let that happen.'
Starfire however kept on thinking on about what Beast Boy had said to her. 'Does Robin feel something special for me as well. Even though Beast Boy has assured his feelings for me, I want to hear those emotions come out from his mouth. Even if I must wait for him to muster up his courage, I will always hold on to these feelings, always.'
Both didn't look at each other. Instead they looked back at Beast Boy and Raven who were talking to each other with the 'Let's-not-tell-each- other-the-way-we-feel-just-to-make-things-interesting.' Look on their faces.
Both Robin and Starfire smiled at the two. They had hidden so much from each other even though it did seem obvious the way they felt for each. If only they could tell each other the way they felt or express it that easily.
Robin was wondering the same as Starfire when he stopped next to a tree with a newspaper clipping on it.
"Love Festival in one month. Interesting." Robin gazed at the small poster and looked back at his team who were looking at him curiously.
"Say guys, I know this thing is supposed to be for couples, but would you like to go?" Robin looked encouragingly at his teammates.
"Yea why not." Cyborg winked at him and Beast Boy.
"I would presume it would be fun considering we have never done it before. Would you like to attend Raven?" Starfire questioned Raven.
"I guess it sounds nice. That is if we aren't busy." Raven shrugged.
"Great. I just can't wait for next month then. I'll make sure to bring popcorn in the tunnel of love!" Cyborg joked to himself.
Robin hurried up next to Cyborg and expected his robot friend to say something but he didn't so Robin started the conversation.
"You definitely know why I just did that don't you?" Robin asked his friend.
"Of course I do. But since I am a good friend I won't tease you about cuz it actually would be nice of you two to get together. You two just make the CUTEST COUPLE!" Cyborg made his last remark as girlish as he could.
"Whatever Cyborg. Whatever." Robin just smiled and kept on walking. All of them kept on walking awaiting tomorrow's surprises.
~*~
"Tomorrow I will completely change my tactics. It would not be wise to attack again or Starfire would surely tell, no matter how menacing she really thinks I am. I am aware however that with my deadline looming near, that I must officially declare myself rival of that fool tomorrow for him to start to take me seriously. I just love creating tension almost as much as I love Starfire. The true contest now begins." Deathfire chuckled to himself.
"Master. We received another message from Blackfire in the Galactic Prison." A servant notified his master.
"Very well. Show it to me." He ordered.
A screen popped up in front of him and the familiar face of a teen showed up. She had black hair with purple sheen. She had purple eyes and tanned skin. She however looked overworked and not as headstrong as usual. It was Starfire's sister, Blackfire.
"Deathfire! I know we have never gotten well but you cannot forget your promise to me! You said that if I gave you information about the Titans then you would bust me out of this crummy place!" She yelled at Deathfire.
"I recall that I did and I never do forget my promises. Your release papers have been sent and you should be out a matter of hours. In fact, I have arranged a transport to go pick you up and take you wherever you please. As long as it isn't Tammaran however, you could say your parents aren't too pleased with your actions." He laughed to himself.
"I thank you for getting me out of here and I don't need your sympathy about my parents. I have business to finish and I promise I won't ever bother you again. Just remember this one thing. You will never get my sister to leave with you to Tammaran. Even with all the information I gave you she will still want to stay. Face it Deathfire, she will never be yours." With that last remark her transmission ended and the screen once again was black.
"She is wrong, she is wrong in everything. I know that she will come to Earth to get revenge. Like I believed she actually had business to attend to. Yea right. And as for that last statement of hers, Starfire will return to Tammaran with me whether she likes it or not." He banged his fist on his throne.
"Starfire will be returned to her rightful place. I will make sure of it even if it costs me death." He then emerged into the shadows.

I guess after some thought, I realized I still have some more chapters to go and the story won't be coming to an end after all. I am so happy! Please be open to all comments because I have gone towards some new inspiration and want to know if it was worth it. I just want to say that Homework sucks and it will not stand in my way anymore. Please review! -Story dedicated to T.D. (You are the light I look for in the dark. You are my new sunrise after an eternity of darkness. You could even be that pleasant dream that causes me to never want to wake up. You are something special to me that no one could ever take away without ripping my heart out. )
Zerin Emperess: I don't know what end you meant but I will try to put more feeling into the character's emotions.
