What's up, guys? I'm so excited. I mean, I noticed you guys' reviews, but I never realized how many I was getting! Thank you so much! Sorry about nagging so much… but then again, it worked, didn't it? Since I'm at that topic, I'd like to mention that I found myself on some people's author alerts and favorites list. That's great, but review please, that would make me even happier! Here's the people so far who I saw:

1. MissKittyKatGirl

2. Savi

3. Clueless90

4. DeathIsMyWayOut

5. NightmareSelene

Like I said, I'm not mad or anything, but I just want to know why you're not reviewing! Please do, I would be really excited if I saw any of your names on my reviewer list! That would mean you pay attention! And that you're really nice, not to suck up…

Anyway, here is the big one, the one you all have been waiting for (me most of all): The RobStar chapter! Yay! I finally get to write my favorite, most exciting fluff of all time! I mean, BBRae is fun and all – don't get me wrong – but they only have references to them in that one episode, "The Beast Within." (That was soo good!) They have references to RobStar in basically every episode! Especially "Betrothed" – that was so cool! Climbing up that balcony to Princess Star – that was so unreal! Anyway, do you see my point? That's why I'm way excited.

Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Titans, but the man who does really needs to get it together, no offense or anything. I mean, he's awesome for owning the show, but he still hasn't made Robin and Star get together! Or Beastboy and Raven! Well, or maybe that's the writer people's fault. Anyway, I really think they need to get together and NOW!

Dedication: To my newest reviewer, Aninnymous (such a cool name!), who has really fun reviews to read, and who has been reviewing a lot of my chapters even if not all of them. Thanks!

Chapter Sixteen: No Place Like Home

The Tower:

"Where's Beastboy?" Robin asked easily, not suspecting a thing, as Raven and Cyborg walked into the room. Neither Robin nor Cyborg had been informed of Beastboy's whereabouts from Raven yet. Cyborg nodded, since he didn't know, either.

"He said he thought Batman might know about Slade right now," Raven replied quickly. "I think he really just wants to meet the guy," she joked after that. Her huge lie was very casual and easily convincing.

Robin nodded. "As long as Beastboy's back soon, I think some solo patrol will do him good. He won't have anyone to crack jokes on, and he can pay attention." He said this somewhat hotly, due to a particularly cruel joke Beastboy had played on him at their last patrol. He turned to Raven. "You, make a welcome home sign. I want it to be very big," he instructed. "Cyborg, you decorate the entire tower. Use your gadgets to get to high places. I'm going to go pick up some CD's, some tuxes, and a dress for Raven. We're having a party when she wakes up."

"Do you know how much money that is?" Cyborg asked quickly. "I mean, for one stinking day? Tuxes don't come easy anymore, though I don't know about gowns or whatever."

"Gowns are probably even more expensive," Raven replied rather grumpily. "But I tell you what, I'll wear my princess gown if Robin takes off his mask for the occasion."

"Yeah, man," Cyborg agreed encouragingly. "What color are you eyes, anyway? I hear girls these days really fall for the blue ones. Or big ones."

Since Robin's were both, he was brightened by this thought. Finally, he acquiesced. (A/N: You know what it means, don't you? From Pirates of the Caribbean. The captain was all, "I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request," and then Elizabeth said it, too. It means give in.) "Fine, but you have to wear the crown, too."

"Deal," Raven agreed. She tried to act disgusted. But secretly was just wishing Beastboy was here to see her in this Princess outfit.

Out In the Snow:

Beastboy had a crazy idea where he thought he could find Slade. He knew it probably wasn't true, but… well, this was a risk he had to take. He was taking on the form of a green polar bear, huddling up in himself cursing ever fiber of Terra's being, when he finally reached Gotham City. He easily found Wayne Enterprises (it's Enterprises, right? Or is it Industries? Ah!), then walked in coolly. Robin had, of course, told him Batman's identity.

"I'd like to see Mr. Wayne?" Beastboy asked politely, now in his human form.

"Well," a guard said disapprovingly. He knew that his outfit wasn't half appropriate hear. Suits or dump, he thought strictly. "You see, he's very busy. Would you please set up an appointment?"

"I know you have your rules here," Beastboy commented politely, "but this is an emergency. I'm not going to rebel and bust in, but would you please just beep him and let him know a Teen Titan is here to speak with him?"

He had vaguely heard of the Teen Titans, and he realized the shape-changer's sincerity, so he nodded and called the main office. "Mr. Wayne? Yes, a Teen Titan just stopped by. He'd like to see you pronto. It's some kind of emergency," he said in a choky voice.

"Certainly," the deep voice replied, and approached the room. Pronto.

"Beastboy," he greeted warmly when he entered the room. He turned to the guard. "I'm going to take a walk," he explained. "And from now on, you can trust him."

"Yes, sir."

"So," Batman said coolly to Beastboy. "Have the Titans finally sunk low enough to resort to me for more help? I don't mind, really."

"Well, sort of," Beastboy said. "I mean, I guess I want help, but technically I'm not a Titan anymore. I don't think, anyway. Really, he just wanted to get back home, where he really loved. And there might be some people there that he really loved… "It's just that I sort of got kicked out. So I wanted to see if I could crack this mystery on my own. The one about Slade."

Batman's smile quivered, but he kept it on. "I'll try to help," he agreed finally. "But why were you kicked off the team? I don't really want to help an exiled Titan…"

"I wasn't exactly kicked off, and I'm not exactly exiled. But a girl got kind of mad at me, and I kind of didn't want to see her mad at me anymore, and she kind of told me to leave, so I kind of left, only the others kind of don't really know about it," he said somewhat less than fluently.

"Right," he replied with a grin. "Well, if it's about a girl, than it doesn't sound serious. I'll help you."

You have no idea how wrong you are, Beastboy thought to himself. About the girl and about helping me… they're both a waste of your time. But I think they help me.

And he felt extremely good. Because he had a plan. A brilliant, flawless, completely excellent plan.

The Mansion:

Everything was ready. Raven was striding around the room tensely, uncomfortable in her royal outfit. Robin was sitting on a chair next to Starfire's bed, still waiting anxiously for her to wake up. Cyborg was leaning on the wall casually, admiring his latest work...

As the doctors had anticipated, she woke up soon after all their work. (A/N: I guess they saw some doctors and asked them about how long it would take. Sorry I didn't ever write that in….) As her emerald eyes fluttered open unsurely, she jumped in surprise at seeing all of her friends.

"Friends?" she asked excitedly, sitting up quickly. As she did this, she realized her pain and quickly laid back down in agony. Then her head popped up and she asked again, just as excitedly, her eyes shining, "Friends, is that really you? I am so greatly thrilled to finally be here!"

Robin hadn't expected it. Well, he had expected something, but he hadn't expected something this strong to come over him. He hadn't seen her beautiful eyes or gorgeous hair in such a long time. He hadn't heard her sparkling voice right in front of him in what felt like ages. Everything about her sucked her closer to him, and he couldn't resist it any longer. He couldn't be the Titans Leader and be in love, but couldn't he leave that title and just be a plain Titan like everyone else? Right now he felt like he would do that and much, much more for her.

"Starfire," he said softly. As he said this, she finally saw his eyes. For a moment her thoughts rushed back to Philip, but her heart turned to stone when the thought of him. When she turned back to Robin, she saw warmth there. She saw a new trust she had never experienced before. One that she had never felt in Philip's presence.

"Robin," she said in surprise, longing to reach out to him. She wanted to say something, anything, that would get him to love her as much as she loved him. "I have never seen you without your mask before. Your eyes are spectacular." She tried to say this in her casual complimentary voice, but there was a strain in her voice. She wanted him to know that it was her speaking. The real her. The one that was in love with him.

"Thanks," Robin said in surprise, ignoring the smirk that he was getting from Cyborg.

"Of course," she said, flirting as hard as she knew how to. Unfortunately, this was not very much. "Thank you for all of this," she added, "but now I feel inappropriate for such occasions. Must I go and wear a gown as well?"

"Of course not," Cyborg replied quickly. "Are you crazy? You just got back, and you're way sick. But that was way awesome, how you blew up Philip. I was like, Booya, except that it wasn't me. But it was still cool."

"Thank you," she said, the story coming back to her. "But where is Beastboy?"

Robin repeated the story he had heard to Starfire, then turned to the others and asked – too quietly for her to hear – if they could leave for a moment. He felt a moment was coming on…

…To which both of them eagerly agreed.

When Robin turned back to Starfire, he was surprised. She now had teary eyes, as opposed to the lively ones that were just on her.

"What's wrong?" he asked quickly, thinking she was in pain.

"Oh," she said, looking up in surprise. Her face was shining from tears. "I am sorry… it is just, I was thinking about-" before she could finish, a whole new sea of tears came upon her. "I have never met someone with so many lies," she whispered, covering her eyes with her hands.

Immediately realizing what this was about, and silently cursing Philip for the pain he had caused Starfire, he walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Please, Star," he said sincerely. "There are bad people on this planet. If he was cowardly enough to deceive you like that, then…" he shook his head. "Then he's just a rotten person who doesn't deserve you," he finished slowly.

She looked up at him in some surprise. Was he possibly going to show true feelings for her now? But as her tears kept coming, she shook her head and said distressfully, "Please, Robin, I am sorry. I do not wish for you to see me in such mournful conditions." The inner her was thinking, I don't want you to see me crying over you or him, Robin. Just 'fess up, okay? I can't do it. Just TELL me. I don't care if you say you don't love me at this point. I just want to know something. Anything. About you and me, that is.

That's what she got from him. Exactly what she got from him. "You're beautiful even when you cry," Robin said softly, wiping a tear away from her face. His blue eyes bore into hers, but it gave her a warm happiness down through her toes.

"Wh… what did you just say to me?" she stuttered.

"I don't know if you feel the same way," he confessed, "but I have loved you ever since I set eyes on you. I can't help myself. I shouldn't be in love, but… every time I look at you, I know you're the one I want to be with." He looked at her pleadingly. "Do you understand?"

"I may be an alien," Star replied happily, sniffing her tears away, "but I am not alien to love. I feel the same way. I have felt the same way for so long, I…"

She didn't have to finish. Because before she knew it, he had leaned down over her bead and given her a tender kiss…

…That turned out to be the best kiss either of them could imagine.

Me:

This one wasn't as long as my last two, but I've been pretty busy lately. But guess what? My dad ordered me a laptop for my birthday, and I'm getting a laptop in just about a week! I am DEATHLY excited!

So, did you like it? Robin and Starfire are finally together!

And Beastboy has a miraculous plan to beat all others, apparently.

So, thanks for all the reviews again, and thanks again to my new reviewer, Aninnymous, for all your reviewers! If you are one of the people I mentioned earlier, please review! If you had any questions, then sorry, but I really want to get this chapter out, so I'm going to stop now. Hopefully this will explain your questions.

PS- Slade, Terra, and Melanie are all still alive as of now, I promise. But I will clear all of them up by the end of this story. That doesn't mean KILL them, even though it might. I just mean you will know what's going on with them. And there WILL be a sequel!

Luv ya,

Kweenie
