"So, shall I show you where the gym is located? I might even join you, I haven't worked out in a while," Icefire turned and faced Robin with a brilliant smile.

"Umm... yea, that's fine," Robin glanced at him then faced forward. 'Why does he have to act so nice? I can't stand it. He's so phony.'

Unfortunately, he was a phony who was good at lifting weights as Robin later found out.

"So here we are," Icefire gestured to the room in front of them. For an completely different planet, the gym looked identical to the one that the Titans had at home.

"After Princess Star found out about your gym back on earth, she was able to commission one to be made here."

'Don't call her Star!' Robin screamed inwardly. Outwardly he merely replied. "Oh."

'Couldn't you have come up with anything more brilliant and witty than 'Oh'? I mean this guy needs to realize he has competition,' Robin continued to silently berate himself.

"Anyway, you can use the weights over there. I'll use these larger weights here," Icefire gestured Robin over to the smaller weights in the far back of the room.

Immediately Robin grew red from the implication that the Tamaranian had unknowingly made. "What are you inferring?" he asked defensively.

"What are you talking about?" Icefire asked, genuinely confused.

"You think I'm weaker than you?" all of Robins pent-up anger and aggression was now coming out in full force and it was all directed at the Tamaranian in front of him.

"Surely you're joking? There is no way you can lift as much as a grown Tamaranian male," Icefire said, confidently.

"Watch me," Robin strode up to the machine Icefire was about to get on. Setting the weights to the heaviest possible setting, Robin got in position and began to lift it.

"What are you doing?" Icefire sounded genuinely concerned.

And for good reason. As much as the machinery looked similar to that of the gym back at the Titans Tower, it was a simple fact that Tamaranians are genetically built to be much stronger. And since they are fueled by emotions, they were at an even larger edge.

Which Robin found out the hard way. Using the last of his strength to lift the weight above his head, he lost control. The next thing he knew, he blacked out.

--------- this was gonna be a new chapter but I thought the everyone reading it would want to know what happens ASAP so here it is---------------

"Robin? Robin?"

A voice called melodiously to Robin. "Won't wake up..." he muttered stubbornly, unwilling to give up the refreshing rest that he had not had for a long time.

"Robin, today is my wedding. But if you are unable to come..." the voice trailed off and Robin heard steps retreating from his bed.

"Lemme sleep," he muttered stubbornly and once again was lost to the world.

-------

Finally waking up several hours later, Robin was surprised at where he was. Back in the pillow room ('The pillow room from hell' now that would make a severely awesome name for a band. Oh wait. Story...)

"What's going on?" Robin said slowly, his mouth felt strange and his hand was oddly numb.

"Let's see. You over exerted yourself trying to match the weird, very strong Tamaranian guy. Thus you blacked out. Oh and yea, Star's getting married," Raven's oddly detached voice seeped into Robin's consciousness.

"What???" Robin bolted upright. He had regained feeling in all of his extremities. Unfortunately, this involved a lot of pain. "Oww!!"

"Yea. Like I said, you over exerted yourself. You will be feeling extreme pain in 10..9...8..7..6..Now."

Bolts of pain went through Robin's entire body. If any part of his consciousness had been still drowsy, it wasn't anymore. But something else concerned him.

"Star's getting married????"

"She came in and told you but you kept telling her to let you sleep...oh great,"

The rest of Raven's speech was cut off as Robin jumped out of bed and dashed through the door.

Robin ran through the dizzying array of hallways as well as extreme pain.

"Owww." As well as muffled oaths were heard as Robin tried to find his way to the ceremonial hall.

At last he skidded to a stop and spotted Star. He ran up next to her on the altar-ish area. She was dressed in a long white dress. Icefire stood next to her in a strange outfit. It looked like a bright pink, spandex, Tux. Had Robin been more immature he would have most definitely taunted the other boy. Ok, had he been in less of a rush he would have taunted the other boy.

Ok, so he couldn't resist.

"Nice suit," Robin smirked at the other boy.

Turning back to the Grand ruler, Robin quickly cut down to business.

"I object... or whatever it is you say here on this planet," Robin said, still slightly panting in between his words.

"Robin! How could you!"

Shocked, Robin turned to find Star glowering at him. "First you run madly up the aisle interrupting the ceremonial procession."

"Oh yea. About that..." Robin looked at the messy array of Tamaranians he had shoved aside on his mad dash.

"Then you insult the traditional marriage outfit of Tamaran."

Again Robin winced. Darn his immaturity.

"Finally, you interrupt my wedding!!"

Robin woke up from his nightmare sweating profusely and panting.
