Chp.4: Have a little faith in me

"Okay, so, we're gonna SAVE Starfire!" Beast Boy said slapping some pictures of himself into a suitcase.

"um-what're those for?" Robin asked.

"I'm gonna give 'em out to all the girls on Planet Tamaran and put the phone number on them!" Beast Boy said.

Cyborg gave him a look of disgust…."THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!" He said and started putting his own pictures in his suitcase.

"You guys are embarrassing…" Robin said, his eye twitching slightly.

"Whatever," Beast Boy grinned.

Robin shook his head and walked over to the window. He stared out at the ocean that shimmered in the light of day. The clouds had cleared, making a beautiful blue sky. The aqua-marine ocean sparkled happily as the ever-melancholy Robin stared at it. They seemed to be two opposites.

"I'm gonna go for a walk," Robin said and left the other boys daydreaming about the pretty Tamaran girls.

~~~~~~~~

Robin walked aimlessly around the Titan's island. His thoughts continued on Starfire, so far away. "I don't know what's wrong with me, Star," He said as if she was walking with him. "I can't stop thinking about you, no matter where I am….I must really miss you."

He stopped and sat on a rock, looking out at the ocean. "I should've been there sooner. I could have saved you and stopped Lyss. You told me you had to leave, but I-I wanted at least one more morning with you. I've been taking it all for granted, passing everything off as though it'll happen everyday….Man, Star…" He slid off the rock onto the warm, powdery sand. "I wish you were here right now." A slight breeze picked and blew his spiky, jet-black hair.

"I hope you are okay, Starfire. I don't know how the team would be if we lost you. I don't know how I'd be if I lost you…."

"Hey, Cy, how long do you think Robin is gonna sit out there talkin' to himself?" Beast Boy asked as he threw his green, goat pajamas in his suitcase of pictures, just in case.

"I dunno. Love does some freaky stuff to people, " Cyborg said looking out the window as he ate a piece of yesterday's pizza.

"Love?" Beast Boy cocked an eyebrow, looking confused.

"Don't tell me you haven't noticed…."Cyborg looked at him flatly.

"-notice---?" Beast Boy said.

"Oh, give me a break!" Cyborg cried. "Robin and Starfire like each other!"

"Starfire likes everybody," Beast Boy said.

"No, you idiot! She doesn't like him! She LIKES him, likes him," Cyborg said.

"Oh…." Beast Boy said. He grinned. "Robin and Starfire, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

"Shut up," Cyborg said irritated.

"Hehehe!" Beast Boy snickered.

"Azarath….Metrione….Zynthos….(there, happy now!? I spelled it right….hmph) Azarath….Metrione….Zynthos…." Raven chanted as the mirror became more and more engulfed in darkness. Her eyes had faded out, leaving her in a trance. It wouldn't be much longer until they were ready to go, hopefully. Cyborg and Beast Boy were taking naps after playing video games, their suitcases on the floor. Robin had a green backpack with weapons over by the door and was sitting out on the beach for the third time that day.

The sun was setting rapidly, leaving the sky a warm pinkish-orange with little purple clouds floating around.

Robin recalled last night. Starfire and he had had a slow dance to one of her favorite songs, "Have a little Faith in Me". He looked down at the sand that looked golden in the light. "When the road gets dark…and you no longer see…Let my love throw a spark…and have a little faith in me…" He sang barely above a whisper. "When the tears you cry….are all you can believe… just give these lovin' arms a try, baby… and have a little faith, faith in me…"

He looked up. He just realized it. "I'm so foolish! Why-why didn't I see it before?! I-I'm in love with Starfire…" He felt a flush run over his cheeks. "I don't believe it… Starfire and me….wow…..didn't see that one comin'."

"Hey, Robin! Hurry! Raven's done! We can go get Starfire now!" Beast Boy yelled out the door.

"Coming!"Robin yelled in response. He got up and brushed himself off, then headed towards the door of the tower. "I've been lovin' you for such a long, long time expectin' nothin' in return, just for you to have a little faith me….See time, time is our friend, 'cause for us, there is no end, and all you gotta do is have a little faith in me…"

~~~~~~~~

"Everybody's here now, Raven," Beast Boy said, walking into her room with Robin.

"Okay, good," She said, and the two circled with Raven and Cyborg around the mirror. "Is everybody ready?"

Everyone held tighter to their stuff.

"Alright then…." She said. She breathed in deep, then let it out slowly. She put her two index fingers together and folded the others in between each other. Everybody stood silently, tensed and somewhat afraid.

"Azarath….Metrione…..ZYNTHOS!!!!!" She screamed and the mirror blasted black energy all over, wrapping the four titans in it and slowly pulling them towards the small hand mirror.

A flash of Starfire flashed through Robin's mind.

"Take us to Planet Tamaran!" Raven yelled clearly. The mirror sucked them up into a twisting dimension of purple, green, black, red, and every other color.

Here we come, Starfire. Have a little faith in me, okay? We'll be there soon, Robin thought as they were pulled into a bright light.

Wasn't last night's episode fabulous?! ^-^ We got to see Robin in a monkey suit (a tuxedo for you stupid people *waves innocently*). Man, we didn't get to watch Star and Robin dance…boo hoo…oh,well. Anywho, I'm gonna try drawing some fanart for this and posting it on fanart central. I have an account there under-hey imagine that-Lilyahiko. Check it out if you want. I'll be sure to inform you.
