Disclaimer: (sigh) I don't own Teen Titans. Now will you lawyers stop pestering me?!?
hEyBaByDoLl: Thanks! I'll go read your AU once I get the time.
solodancer789: Confused? Okay, here goes the short version: Star is leaving for Tamaran, but the others don't want her to leave. So they fight. (It needed some action.) Then a stranger, Moonfire, comes along and leaves.
kaze-mononoke-nedge: Thank you!
Ina-chan: Thanks. I know Starfire is emotional; that's the way she is after all. But she's taking things hard. Too hard. Ugh, this isn't working. Now I know what real writers feel like.
clueless90: Starfire isn't in character, is she? Well, remember the Rekmas? Since she failed the older Titans, she's angry and sad, so she leaves.
AREZAL: I know; that's great. I mean, BB and Raven are polar opposites, yet are perfect for each other. The same goes for Star and Robin, and Cyborg and Bumblebee (well almost). Thanks!
Chapter 3: Tamaran
Starfire soared at half of light-speed, a moderate rate for Tamaranians. Stars, moons, planets, galaxies flew by at an impossible speed. Clear teardrops sliding down her face were, instead of their regular drop shape, a fat sphere. Her usually tame, crimson hair was now in tangles. 'Ugh. I wish I remembered to bring a comb or brush! I understand why Raven disliked my hair when we switched bodies,' Starfire thought, bringing even more tears. She already missed her true home.
Moonfire zipped at light-speed around the Sol system. Seeing that Star must have already left, she flew out in the direction of Tamaran, slowing down slightly, so she could actually see something. It didn't take long before Moonfire caught up with Starfire, who was still crying her heart out. "Hi, Star."
"Hello, Moony."
"Ugh! What is with the nickname Moony?!? I told you once, I told you twice, I've told you too many times to count..."
"That's because you can only count to five," joked Starfire, her kind nature apparently forgotten.
"Yeah, that's right, everyone tease poor old Moonfire..."
"You admit you're old?"
"Hey!! Anyways..., I don't like being called Moony!!!"
"You like it better than Moon."
"Good point."
"Exactly. Why did I not see you when I was betrothed and returned to Tamaran? And why do you look different?"
"I see you don't called Tamaran home. But...!" Moonfire held up her hand to stop any arguments. "I was undergoing Transformation. Mine was longer than most; I was an Iridilis, (a lot of i's, ne c'est pas?) or human butterfly for about two months. Blackfire locked me up in a solitary room. I don't understand it either, but I just changed a lot during that time. And yours?"
"Chrysalis."
"Ah. That explains it. Ergh. I'd hate to think what would happen if you were married to G'hurg... uh... that thing."
"I as well."
"What's wrong? You're so quiet."
"I have just attacked my friends since I had to leave, and they didn't want me to, and they ruined Blorthog, and they completely forgot about me, and they don't even care!!!"
"That's just proved two things."
"What?"
"One: you are completely oblivious to some things. I'm almost positive your friends wouldn't have forgotten you. And two: you have the ability to make extremely long sentences."
"Oh."
"Exactly. Uh Star?"
"Yes?"
"How will they find you?"
"I don't believe they will. I have destroyed my communicator and made sure that there are no maps to Tamaran and any tracking devices on myself. Do you have any?"
"I don't think so. I left quite quickly."
"Oh. Oh, look!! We have reached Tamaran!"
Tamaran, when you first see it, is a round white orb hovering in space with pink streaks decorating its surface. Upon touching the ground, you see a quite barren landscape, white snow for miles. The sky is normally a pinkish-blue purple, much like the color of twilight. The only major structure is the castle where everyone lives. It is enormous, a tall, narrow peak, spiraling higher and higher. Altogether, it is a very regal place.
As Starfire elegantly dropped down, courtiers and citizens alike bowed deeply. Moonfire looked around, puzzled, before also bowed gracefully.
A courtier came forth with a crown. Not just any crown. The crown of Tamaran.
The tiara was a greyish color with a silvery sheen that was polished until it shone like a jewel. It was inlaid with forest-green emeralds, cut until it was one smooth surface.
The courtier passed it carefully to Moonfire who placed it gently onto Starfire's hair. It settled and gleamed against the tousled ruby locks. Moonfire then declared, "All hail Grand Ruler Starfire!!"
The crowd replied, "Long live Starfire! Long live Starfire!" It became a chant, which turned into a yelled mantra.
Star looked out to the huge crowd, jade eyes glimmering in sadness and hope. It could be a new beginning here. So she turned away from the era of joy and crime-fighting to an age of learning and understanding.
Bwahaha!!! I leave the Teen Titans minus Starfire without a way to find her! Heehee, too bad. It'll all work out. Ugh, I keep making shorter and shorter chapters. Don't blame me. The whole story is short. Review!!!
