Starfire's P.O.V.

I woke up the next morning with a headache. I looked up and there was Robin. He had stayed with me all night. How sweet. I didn't want to move. I was happy where I was. Robin stirred and I pretended to be asleep. He looked down at me and I could tell that he smiled. He started to get up. I didn't want him to go so I started to snuggle. He sighed. "Morning Star," he said. How did he know that I was awake? I sighed and sat up. I was right he was smiling. "How did you know," I asked. "Well I didn't, but thanks for answering me," he said. I started to laugh but then I stopped. "Star? Is everything okay," he asked. I wanted to tell him the truth but I didn't want him to worry. "I am fine Robin," I lied. He gave me the ' I-know-you're-lying' look and I shook my head. "Come on, lets go get some breakfast," I said changing the subject.

I said goodbye to the bed and said hello to the floor. Robin ran over to me. "Star, are you okay," he asked. "I am fine Robin. No worries," I said. Somehow he knew that I was lying. "Star last time you said that you jumped off the roof. Tell me the truth," he said. He was right. "I am not okay. I hear this pounding noise in my head and the world is spinning madly. Robin, please help me," I said to him. He gave me a worried look and picked me up and I clung to him. Robin walked back over to my bed. "No Robin. I do not wish to be in bed all day," I testified. "Star, please. I just want you to get some rest," Robin said as he placed me on my bed. "Robin please. I do not wish to be locked up in my room all alone," I said to him. "Star, you won't be alone. I will be back in a minute. I am just going to make you some soup. Go change into something comfortable," Robin said and walked out of my room.

I didn't want to be locked up in my room. Although, I was happy with the idea of Robin being with me. I got off my bed and walked over to my dresser. I pulled out a pair of pajamas and walked into my bathroom. I left my bathroom door slightly ajar so if anybody entered my room I would know. I changed quickly so Robin wouldn't walk in on me. I heard my door whoosh open and I had nearly finished getting dressed. "Robin," I asked peeking my head out of my bathroom. Boy was I wrong. "Sorry princess, but I'm no Robin," came my intruder. My room was dark so I couldn't see his face, but I could tell by his voice. "EARTHQUAKE! GET OUT OF MY ROOM," I yelled. I was about to yell for Robin but EarthQuake ran up to me and covered my mouth. I tried to use a Starbolt on him but my powers were useless. "Starfire, listen to me. I need to tell you something important," EarthQuake said. "What is it," I hissed. I was angrier than ever.

"Its about your siblings," EarthQuake said trying to get my attention. He had won he had my full interest. "Star, your siblings aren't here for a friendly visit. They are here to take you back to Tamaran to marry," EarthQuake told me. "They would never. They know I do not belong on Tamaran," I said to him. "I heard them talking last night. They are going to be all goody, goody to you and one night while you're sleeping they're going to kidnap you and take you back to Tamaran," EarthQuake explained. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. My siblings were going to betray me and take me away from my home. I would never let that happen. I wouldn't stand for it. "Thank you EarthQuake. You have been truly helpful. But what am I to do? My powers are useless. I can not use them," I said. "After your transformation you will be fine. This transformation will help you. All of your transformations will indeed help you. Trust me," EarthQuake said. I didn't know what to believe so I nodded. I looked away from EarthQuake because I heard footsteps.

"Soups up," I heard Robin say as my door whooshed open. I looked up to EarthQuake but he was not in my room anymore. Robin sat my soup down and walked over to me. "Star, you should be in bed right now," Robin said to me. "Huh? Oh sorry. I know. I was just talking to someone," I said. Was that conversation just a figment of my imagination? "To who," Robin asked. "Oh, nobody, but I obtained some valuable information," I said. "And that would be," asked Robin thinking I was crazy. "Robin my siblings are going to kidnap me and bring me home sometime during the next few nights," I said and quickly covered my mouth. "Star, they wouldn't. They understand you," Robin said. Somehow I knew EarthQuake was right. "Robin, you have to believe me. Robin please," I said. Robin sighed.

"Star, you're going through a rough stage right now. Stop fooling around and get into bed," Robin said to me. "I am not fooling around Robin. I am telling you the truth. Besides, when have I ever lied to you? I have never given you any reason to doubt my thoughts," I said. Robin walked over to me. "Star, I don't doubt you, but it's hard to believe. Quake told us that you would be delusional during this transformation. I can't help but think that your over active imagination has something to do with this," Robin said to me. "Robin, you must listen to me. Do not leave me alone at night. I do not wish to leave Earth," I said to him my eyes welling up with tears. "Star I..." he started. I knew he wouldn't finish. I gave him a sad look and ran out of my room as fast as my weak legs would carry me.

I didn't know where to go or who to see. I just went wherever my legs took me. I ran up to the roof and slammed the door shut. I walked over to the edge and sat down like I usually did. Why wouldn't he believe me? This is all EarthQuake's fault. He told me about their fiendish plan and then told the titans that I was delusional. I can't believe this. Maybe it was EarthQuake who was going to kidnap me, but then why would he lie to me? Maybe he told me the truth. I was so confused. I heard the roof door open and I turned around. It was Raven. "Friend Raven, what are you doing up here," I asked her. "I am up here to see if you are okay. Besides, you aren't allowed to be alone. Robin's orders," She answered me emotionless as usual.

"I am fine friend Raven. I am just thinking," I said hoping she would leave. "About," she asked me. I thought she would say that. "Robin. I told him something and he won't believe me. He said that I am what's the word... O delusional," I said trying not to think too hard. "Star, Quake did tell us that you would be delusional. Maybe you were just imaging things," Raven said. Why wouldn't anyone believe me? I gave them no reason to distrust me. "Raven, you do not understand. I told Robin about how my siblings are going to kidnap me and take me home to marry. EarthQuake told me himself. I am not lying to you Raven. This is not a lie," I said my eyes welling up with tears. "Star, I don't know what to say or what to think. You siblings are too nice to do a stunt like that. Besides, don't you lock your door at night," Raven asked. She had a point, but they have state of the art technology at their fingertips.

"I knew you would not understand! No one will," I shouted and ran to the door. I ran down the stairs like a mad woman hoping not to bump into somebody, but my hopes were demolished when I bumped into Cyborg. "Now where are you going little lady," he asked helping me up. I lifted my finger to say something, but I looked down at the floor. "No where," I answered. "Star, what's the matter," Cy asked me. "No body will listen to what I have to say. They all call me 'delusional' and I do not even know what it means," I cried. Cyborg sighed. "Star, what is it? You know you can tell old Cy over here," Cyborg said. I giggled. "My brother and sisters are going to perform an act of kidnapping upon me some night soon," I told Cyborg. I looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please believe me friend. I have given you no reason of distrust," I said. He gave me a soft look and nodded. "I believe you Star, but what can I do," he asked. "I am unaware of what I should even do," I said. "Here let me think about it and you go find Robin," Cy suggested. I nodded and we both went down the hallway.

Robin's P.O.V.

When Star gave me that look I felt like my heart was shattering. I hated it how she cried over me. I plain hated it when she cried. She is so sweet and innocent to cry. Where is the perky, happy-go-lucky Star that I know? After yesterday night she wasn't the same. I ran out of her room and ran down the hallways in search of her. I had remembered that she wasn't to be alone. I ran into the main room to see if she was with any of the titans or her siblings, but to no avail. Raven saw me and stood up. "I'll go get her," she said and walked into the hallway. Thank god for Raven. I sat down on the couch watching everybody. Cy and BB were at it again and EarthQuake was reading a book. Storm was outside riding on a cloud and Glacier and Magma were thumb wrestling. It was SO interesting.

I stood up and walked around the tower hoping I could find something to do until Star approached me. I waked into my room and looked around. It was so dark. It was a navy blue and it had newspaper clippings of Slade everywhere. It had all my extra gadgets on my table and then there was my TV set and my bed. I sat down on my bed and reached under it until I felt a shoebox. I pulled it out and I opened the lid. It was my box of pictures and there on the top was my favorite. I was a picture of Star and me. Star had her arms around my neck hugging me and she wore that gorgeous smile of hers. I was just standing there like the idiot I was. That day was the best day I have ever had.

It was a day like any other. We were free from crime fighting so the titans decided to go to the festival being held in Jump City Park. When we got there we all bought our way in and split up into two groups. I was with Star and BB, CY, and Rae were in a group. We all wanted to do different things. Star wanted to play some games seeing as how she was never on a roller coaster. She was afraid of them. I told her it was okay, but she insisted on playing games. We went to the game where you throw baseballs at empty milk cartons. Star kept on buying baseballs and kept on missing. I laughed at her and bought one ball. I threw it and it was a hit. The guy handed me a big teddy bear and Star gave me a glare. I laughed. "Okay then, I guess you don't want it," I said to her playfully. She gave me another glare and turned her back to me.

"Having a little trouble with the ladies I see," said the man behind the booth. I gave him a cold glare and he backed off. I turned back to Star and put the teddy bear down. I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder. I guess I scared her because she grabbed my hand and flung me over her shoulder. When she saw what she did she ran over to me. "Oh Robin, I am so very sorry. Are you undamaged," she asked me. I started to laugh and she gave me a confused look. "Robin I do not see the humor of you getting hurt. Please enlighten me," she said. I don't know what was so funny, but I couldn't stop laughing. "Robin please. You are scaring me," she said. I stopped for a second and then cracked up again. I couldn't help it. Finally after I stopped laughing Star helped me up.

"Robin, I did not see the humor of being flung of my shoulder. What may I ask was so funny," she asked me. "Star, it was just one of those moments where there was nothing to laugh about but you just had to laugh," I said. She looked at me in a confused way and I shook my head. We both walked over to where I placed my teddy bear and I handed it to her. I had no need for an overly stuffed piece of material. She looked at me and smiled. We started to walk down the road until a photographer stopped us. "Might I bother you in a picture," he asked us. "No thank you," I said. "I would love one," Star said. "Which one is it," the man asked. I looked over to Star who was practically begging me. I sighed in defeat and told the man to take the picture. Star jumped up and hugged me from the back. The man took the picture and he gave it to us after we payed him.

That was the best day. I got to spend all day with Star. She was so happy. She ended up giving the picture to me seeing as how she took the bear. I told her I had no use for it, but she insisted. I put the picture down and looked at the next one. It was a Christmas picture and it was the best one. It was a picture of Beast Boy kissing Raven under the mistletoe. Raven had a look of utter shock and Beast Boy seemed to enjoy it. After he parted though BB was sent to the hospital because Raven gave him a broken leg. That was a Christmas to remember. I put my pictures away and got up. I walked out of my room and up to the roof. I always came out here to think. It was my hide away and secret even though Star knew. I heard footsteps and I looked up. "What are you doing out here," I heard Storm ask. "I was just thinking," I answered.

Storm walked over and sat down next to me. "Robin, what is the matter," Strom asked. "Nothings the matter. I am perfectly fine," I answered her. It was true; I was perfectly fine, empty, but fine. "Robin, my sister has been looking for you for the past hour. Where were you," Strom asked. "I was on a trip down memory lane," I answered her. Strom looked at me weirdly. "I never new there was a memory lane here in Jump City," she said. I laughed and looked over to her. "There isn't. I was just remembers the better times I've had. Now tell me something. Is Star going to be okay," I asked. "Star? Yeah, she'll be fine. She is just under going her element transformation. At a certain age every Tamaranian goes through what we call an elemental transformation. It is a transformation of the mind, body, and power. After this transformation Star might control the element of water or electricity. It all depends on her body type. She might go through many transformations until her body is happy with a certain one," Strom explained.

I gave her a confused look. "Look Robin. Star isn't going to be herself for much longer. When her transformation is complete she will have a body change, power change, and an attitude change to some extent," Strom explained. "So what you're trying to say is Star is going to be a completely new person," Robin asked. "No. Star is just going to change her looks and powers. Her attitude might be tweaked a little bit but she will be the same old Star but new and improved," Strom said. I nodded like I understood. Strom smiled and a cloud came up to her. "Well, I gotta fly," she said and jumped on the cloud. "Oh and Robin. Go tell my sister the truth," Strom said and flew off. I didn't know what she meant, but I had an idea.

I looked at the sky. It was sunset. Star never misses a sunset so I figured that she would be coming up soon. I looked at the sky and watched as the sun went down and Star never came. I got worried. I stood up and opened the door. I walked down the stairs and into the main room. "Guys, where is Star," I asked. Cyborg looked up. "She is in the medical wing," Cyborg answer. I was instantly worried. "Why? What happened," I asked. "Robin cool your jets man. She is fine,' Cyborg said. "If she was fine she wouldn't be in the medical wing," I said. "Dude, she just fainted. She was running around the tower all day looking for you and her lack of energy finally caught up to her. She is resting in the medical wing," Cyborg explained. Why had I been so stupid?

"Where is everybody else," I asked. "They went out to get some pizza," Cyborg answered. I was still worried about Star so I ran off to the medical wing. I opened the door and there Starfire was. She was hooked up to a machine and she had her eyes closed. It looked as if she was dying. I was scared for her. I walked over to her bed and pulled a seat up I sat down and grabbed her hand. I held onto it and rubbed it with my thumb. I sat there for what seemed like hours but only ten minutes. I was about to leave so I could get some rest when I felt something squeeze my hand. I looked over to Starfire and she was awake. I smiled softly. "Hey you. What happened," I asked her. "I was looking for you all day. I felt horrible after what I said. Can you ever forgive me," she asked. "Would I ever not forgive you," I asked. She looked away. "Star, that was just a joke. I forgive you," I said. She turned her head towards me again and nearly jumped on me with her hug.

I was stunned but I hugged her back. "Star about earlier. I'm sorry for not believing you," I apologized. She smiled at me and nodded. I yawned. "Maybe you should get some rest," she said. "No thanks," I said to her. "Robin, you look tired. Get some rest," she said to me. "I'm not tired," I said to her. Truth is I was tired. I just didn't want to leave her. I was happy right now. I just can't wait for this transformation to end. Then Star would finally be herself again. Although, I find her weakness attractive. I feel important around her. I hate to say it, but when she is weak like this I am happy. She is very dependant like this and she mostly depends on me. I know I sound selfish, but could you blame me? I looked over to her as she yawned. "Star, maybe you should be the one to get some sleep," I said. "Only if you promise to get some sleep as well," she said. I sighed. "I promise," I said in defeat. She always did that to me. She sat up and hugged me again. "Good night friend Robin," she said and kissed my cheek. "Night," I said and walked out. I placed my hand on my cheek where she kissed me. It was final; I was never going to wash this cheek again.

I walked down the hallway and into my room. I laid down on my bed and stared at the ceiling. This was a night to remember...
