The day of a funeral is always sad. The sky is always so much grayer, and even the cheerfullest of birds sing melancholy songs. The same was true for this funeral, the sky was gray, the birds were singing sadly, and every shadow seemed longer. Robin had dreaded this day, he knew that then he would have to accept the fact that Starfire was dead, and that she was never coming back. Tears ran down his face as he woke up, and tears fell as he got ready, while he put on his shoes, tied his tie, combed his hair. Tears fell as he covered his eyes with the mask, and tears fell as he walked out of his room, down the stairs, and into the living room. Tears fell as he sat on the couch, waited for the others, and sat in Cyborg's car. Tears fell as they drove along to the graveyard, and the tears only stopped when they got out of the car.

'I must be brave,' he thought, 'Star wouldn't want us to be sad.' He swallowed, thinking of what Starfire would say.

"Do not be sad, dear, dear friends," she would say, "I have gone back to my planet, I am with my family, with everyone."

He sighed, no, she wouldn't want them to be sad, she was always so optimistic and happy, cheering every body up. Being sad would let her down.

Robin fought back tears as the funeral progressed. He didn't hear a thing anyone said he just stood there, listening to the sound of dirt falling on a wooden box.

"Goodbye." he whispered, as everyone began to leave, "goodbye." He watched everyone leave. He stayed, and crouched by the new grave. "I love you," he whispered, "I never told you, but I do, I always have, since the first day I laid eyes on you, an I will. I always will until the day I die. You will be in my heart forever, and I will never forget you." He swallowed, and a single tear worked it's way down his cheek, "you were so beautiful, your hair, your eyes." he sighed again, and another tear appeared. "I don't know who killed you, and I don't know why, but I will find out who, and when I do." he brushed away the tear, "I will make sure that they will pay for what they've done."
