Disclaimer: I may not own anyone besides Melanie and her Star Shack, but I really wish I could own & kill Star right now, then steal Robin. Of course, this being MY fanfic, I suppose I could... but I want to satisfy my reviewers, so no.

Two: Back At the Tower

"Robin, just calm down," Raven ordered levelheadedly. She knew how much he wished Starfire was back, but he was driving her crazy.

"This is all my fault," he said, shaking his head.

"Please," Cyborg said, rolling his eyes. "What is it this time? I suppose you bribed the Rough Coyote into kidnapping Star?" He shook his head. "Robin, you didn't do anything. It isn't your fault."

"Yeah, but I was so calm," he insisted. "I didn't doubt that he was easy. I thought he'd be a knockout enemy. But now..." he shook his head, letting out a stream of curses instead of finishing his sentence."

"Robin," Beastboy said immediately. "Please. It is not your fault, okay? Besides, would Star really want you cursing because you think it's your fault?" At Robin's hesitant silence, he smiled and said, "I thought so. Listen, I've got to, um, be somewhere. Catch you later, okay?"

"Wait," Raven said, holding out a hand and causing him to stand still. "Not so fast. Where are you going, Beastie?"

"Um," he said quietly. "Over to the Melanie's Star Shack over on the beach. I, um, need to get some good seafood. I'm starving."

"WHAT?" Robin cried angrily. "Starfire is captive and being possibly manipulated by a rugged swordsman and you are thinking of FREAKING SEAFOOD at a time like this?" Only unfortunately what came out was a little different than 'freaking...'

"Yes, okay?" Beastboy asked. "I know it's a change from tofu, but..."

"I thought you've been seafood," Cyborg and Raven both said at once, grinning at each other for pointing out the obvious.

"But I'm good enough to not be killed by seafood-makers," Beastboy replied testily. "Now I am going to go, and you are going to keep up this dumb search for Star that won't work. I'll try to brainstorm while I'm there."

"But-" Raven started, trying to figure out more.

"Just let him go," Cyborg ordered calmly. "Probably just has a crush on a waitress."

"I've got my sensors scanning the entire area for something alienate or otherwise unusual. So far the only things they've picked up are BB and us. No sign of star anywhere."

"Of course there isn't any sign of her," Raven said easily. "Starfire is being held captive by a rough enemy. He's smart enough to try to block you from finding her. And she could be anywhere on the planet."

"We don't have time to scan the whole area! This is Star. We need a brilliant plan. For her," Robin begged mournfully. "And me."

Cyborg and Raven both looked at Robin sympathetically and enviously – the latter for different reasons. Cyborg was just envious that he was the Titans leader, and he still had time for love. Raven, the deepest, darkest inner Raven, was jealous that he had love.

"Okay, listen," Raven said. "Star said she was at a huge mansion. Let's just look for one – there aren't that many in Jump City. And if we find one, just search it. We're the Teen Titans. If anyone doesn't let us search their house, then we'll know it's them. Who doesn't open up to us?"

Robin nodded. "Fair enough," he admitted.

"Yeah," Cyborg agreed. "And if we happen to pass a certain Melanie's Star Shack, maybe we should go in and have some green starfish for a snack."

He and Raven got to making fun of Beastboy, but when they turned back to Robin to start the search, they found him over in the kitchen. They gasped at what they saw.

There was Robin – Teen Titans leader – huddled in the corner, practically shivering, and lost in thought. That wasn't the most shocking part. Because on one side of him was a bottle of mustard that he was "drinking," and on the other side of him was a big, fat tofu sandwich that Beastboy had made earlier that day.

"Robin," Raven said softly. "I think we should go now."

He nodded. "Oh yeah, right. The search. Well, maybe we should take a break first and stop at the star shack place."

Cyborg nodded. "We could all use a break."

But when they arrived, they couldn't believe it. Because there was Beastboy, paying for his food, and hugging a redheaded waitress goodbye. She was looking sympathetic, as if she had been listening to his problems for a long time.

When they reached him, he blushed and said, "Oh, this is Melanie. She's a, um, friend of mine."

To each other Cyborg and Raven said, "Things are getting weirder and weirder without Star. Who would've thought a clueless alien girl would hold things together?"

Robin, on the other hand, shook his head. "Starfire is no clueless alien girl. Now let's go and save her, before it's too late."

So, guys, how'd you like it? There IS a way to answer that, you know. You just have to review! I'm going to give you a nice taste of the next chapter, but reviews make me go faster! Thanks, solodancer789, for reviewing. You can always mention my story to friends and have them review!!! Here's from next chapter:

"Maybe they aren't coming for you, Star," Philip suggested sadly. "How hard can a shadowy mansion be to find, after all?"
