Chapter Two
()
A week passed by slowly and Starfire was still moody, but most of the time cheerful… and extremely loving. Her naturally motherly attitude was magnified by about ten times. (Which was strange, because with Starfire, there was NO such thing as being magnified, she WAS the limit to a motherly attitude.) She hung out with Robin most of the time and was being extra affectionate towards him… and he noticed this. Each morning she continued to toss back whatever food she had eaten and Robin was beginning to wonder if this really was a mere cold causing all this. He collected Cyborg, BeastBoy and Raven to ask them if they knew anything.
So there they were, sitting in the common room after the leader sent the teenage alien to go and get them some pizza for lunch. Robin, the most suspecting nervously paced around the room and shakily asked the other titans, "Titans, I think that something is wrong with Starfire." The half human chuckled, "Chill out Robin, it's just a cold. Are you THAT worried?" The dark empath pulled her hood up and she simply looked at the nervous teenager. Robin shook his head, "No, she's had this 'cold' for over two weeks... Something just isn't right here. I mean really, Tamaraian colds can't last this long can they? Also, she's been throwing up and having strange mood swings, BUT she hasn't been sneezing! I'm starting to think that this isn't a cold that Starfire is suffering."
The green changeling shrugged, "C'mon Robin, Starfire is an ALIEN. That means she not completely like us! Chill out." The leader had to admit that his friend had a point, but there was a strange feeling in his heart that told him otherwise, "Yea, she is an alien, but that doesn't mean she's completely NOT like us either. I'm sorry BeastBoy, it's just that I have this feeling that's telling me something's wrong… what do you think Raven?" The empath simply stared at him for a moment before answering, "Robin, nothing is wrong. I've read books on Tamaran through and through… Starfire's fine. It's just a simple cold, that's all."
But inside her mind, Raven panicked. What would she say when Starfire's belly was popping out of her skirt, huh? What would she say three months from now? She was beginning to doubt the wisdom of her prior choice. Maybe Starfire SHOULD leave the team… no. If she left the team, Lexus could find her and that would be the end of her alien friend. She shivered thinking about it and stood up. Her favorite teammate looked at her with sweet concern sparkling in his wonderfully green eyes, "Raven? Is something wrong?"
The dark sorceress mumbled, "Just dealing with a new emotion." Why did she say that? Because she was very well aware of Beastboy's VERY keen sense of hearing and hoped that he'd buy it. And luckily for her, he did.
Moments later, a very sad alien popped into the tower with a pizza for her friends. Robin, being her boyfriend, INSTANTLY was by her side, "Starfire? Starfire, what's wrong? Did somebody hurt you? If they did I will kick their sorry…" The redhead shook her head, "It is not necessary, Robin. I just feel 'into the dumps'." Her boyfriend cocked a brow, but left it alone. He did not want to say something and regret it.
So they ate the pizza, Starfire with the most pieces eaten and she suddenly grasped stomach and sped out so fast, all you could see was a glimpse of purple and red. Then the leader stood up and pointed at the door, "This is what I mean! Look at her! Does that look like a cold to you? Something is wrong with Starfire and all you can do is just sit here and doubt the evidence in front of your faces! I don't know what it is yet, but I'm going to find out." Raven, finding his outburst pathetic stood up and burst back, "Look Robin, I understand your concern, she is your girlfriend. But do not doubt my judgment and TRUST me. Starfire is FINE. Even IF something is wrong… you couldn't just search it on the internet! No one on earth besides us no about Tamaran!"
After hearing her own words Raven shivered and realized something very grim, Rage was getting loose, and was growing once more. She ran out of the kitchen and slammed the doors with her power and ran up to the roof to meditate, something she needed to do desperately. Cyborg's regular eye was ready to pop out of his skull, Robin was staring at the spot where she was standing wide-eyed, and BeastBoy paused a moment and followed her calmly.
()
"Robin, this is ridiculous. It's not necessary… Robin, PLEASE. Just because Star's got a small cold doesn't mean that you have to go all the way to Tamaran by yourself and find out about it." Cyborg laughed. "I'm not going alone," The teenage team leader started, "YOU'RE going with me. And so is BeastBoy." The half human stared at him wide-eyed, "Man, you need to relax." And the green changeling pointed at the two girls in the corner who were meditating together, "And what about them?!"
The cloaked figure answered monotonously without losing her concentration, "We can't go. Starfire is sick and can't travel. And I can't go because we can't leave her here alone." BeastBoy frowned and sighed, "I guess that makes sense." Raven smirked underneath her hood and continued to chant, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." Starfire was quiet and had fallen asleep. The leader sighed, "Pack your bags. We leave tomorrow morning."
BeastBoy was so stunned Cyborg had to drag him out of the common room and Robin went to go eat a pizza slice. Raven stopped chanting, placed the alien on the couch and asked the person she worried that would find out the secret, "Aren't you going to pack?" He shook his head and smiled, "I've already finished. I really want to get Star feeling better. Even if she seems happy most of the time, she can't be if that's really a cold bothering her. Besides, I want to make her happy and find out more about her people." Raven's mind gushed at the thought, that was so sweet. Grant it, that wasn't as sweet as his thoughts when Starfire was taken, but it was sweet enough.
The empath's emotion of Love sighed, "If only BeastBoy would say something like that about us." Rude objected, "NO WAY… THAT buffoon? God, I hope he NEVER says something like that about us." Knowledge smiled, "You like him, Rude. Refusal and denial are the first signs of an infatuation." The orange cloaked feeling gaped at her, "Why don't you make yourself useful, Know-it-all and SHUT UP." Knowledge sighed and walked away and Happy popped up, "Don't feel sad! Feel… um… HAPPY!" Knowledge rolled her eyes and giggled before Raven made them all shut up.
Robin waved a hand in front of the sorceress's face, "Raven? Raven? Wake up!" The dark empath did as she was told, not consciously of coarse, but immediately snapped out of her thinking as soon as he yelled, "Sorry. I must go." And her cloak whished behind her as she swept out of the room in a bit of a fluster. She needed more meditation, her emotions were slipping out of the little control she had… this wasn't good.

Starfire waved brightly at the spaceship that was leaving, "BYEBYE! BRING ME BACK A PRESENT!" Robin nodded and the T-ship left. ((T-ship right? RIGHT?!)) After her dearest friend left, the alien burst out in tears and Raven sighed, "This will be a LONG month." (Robin and the others were leaving 4 a month. Y a month? Beats me.)
The empath somehow convinced the alien to come inside and they both drank some tea and Starfire finally asked, "What will we eat when they are gone?" Raven froze, she hadn't thought of that. She took a sip of her tea before she replied, "Whatever I decide we eat." The redhead pouted, "I really want some ice cream." The cravings were coming and the sorceress didn't want to be fried by Star's starbolts, so she lead her kind, yet demanding friend into town to go buy some ice cream.
Starfire looked at everything as though she had seen it for the first time over again and smiled, "This place is most wondrous! Tell me everything you know about it!" The cloaked girl was pulled into the grocery store and sighed as she explained what they did as Teen Titans. Finally, an hour later, she was freed of the public staring at her when they left with about one hundred bags, "And THAT'S what we do. Not car pending, not groveling, we SAVE THE CITY."
The red head growled, "I KNOW THAT!" and Raven ignored her, the mood swings were completely predictable when you could read someone's mind. Which, Raven, being an empath; was constantly doing. So every one of her moody friends actions was completely predictable. Not pleasant, but predictable at least. When would this stop? Well, the sorceress already knew. A Tamaraian pregnancy was extremely short. About three months and the baby was half developed. So truly, Starfire would have to suffer for only about four more months. Only thing was, what would they do when Robin found out?
That plagued her mind every damned day. She raked her mind for an answer, but surprisingly, there wasn't one, ever. How on earth was this going to work? Perhaps if they both le… "We are at the parlor of ice cream!" the now cheerful redhead announced grandly. Raven hesitated, but eventually was forced inside the parlor to pay for whatever flavor and how much ice cream Starfire desired. She muttered to herself darkly as her Rude emotion slipped out, "Oh joy."
"Hello, how may I help you?" a boy about their age with black hair, silver eyes, and mascara dripping down his face asked coldly at Starfire and Raven floated over, "Just get whatever she wants." the redhead twirled around in happiness, "I want… that kind! It looks like the globber-worm pudding on my planet!" The boy asked surprisingly warmly to Raven, "How much?" She shrugged and Starfire smiled, "Um… two cones!" He nodded, went and brought back and extra cone to Raven, "On me. Now your amount is… four dollars and fifty cents." He was paid and the empath sped out so quickly, the only thing you could see was a blur of black and navy.
The alien girl smiled and sped after, "Friend Raven! What is the matter? I think that the boy in there liked you… maybe wanted to be your friend as well?" Raven sighed and stopped at a streetlight, "I don't need anymore problems. Now why don't you go back to the tower? I'll carry home the bags and you can finish your food." Starfire did as she was told reluctantly and Raven flew home after getting a few of her emotions tucked back inside.
"Friend Raven?" a sweet alien asked about twelve hours later. "Yes?" her dark friend replied. The redhead frowned, "I wish for your accompaniment whilst I watch this movie! It is most frightening and Robin is not here to comfort me." After heaving a large sigh which was followed by a yawn, Raven fulfilled Starfire's wish and sat on the couch, "Do you know what TIME it is, Star?" "MMHMM." was what she got in return.
() MEANWHILE ON THE PLANET TAMARAN ()
The T-ship landed softly on the barren wasteland that Starfire called beautiful. Sometimes she was incredible, for the other titans found no beauty in it whatsoever. Robin was keen on finding the emperor of Tamaran, Cyborg was content on memories of grass and color, but BeastBoy paid no attention to anything but the flashback in his mind about Raven and his last moments on the roof.
The sun was setting and Raven's eyes were closed… she would miss all of it if they weren't opened soon. The green teen noticed this and gently tapped her shoulder. His heartbeat accelerated as she looked up at him, "Yes?" He somehow managed to smile as his heart was set aflame, "Raven, you're going to miss the sunset if you don't look soon… and it's really pretty." The empath felt a small smile lift her cheeks slightly while he sat down beside her.
She felt so nervous, so out of place. Her heart was flashing cold and hot constantly and her mind was playing tricks with her. She didn't understand how all this was happening, she had just meditated for over an hour. The emotion must have been strong. However, her pondering didn't stop the hard, loud thumping of her heart. The blood was rushing through her quickly and her cheeks suddenly began to show where.
He smiled and asked softly, "The sunset is pretty don't you think?" The nervous sorceress weakly nodded in reply. The changeling stroked her cheek with his hand, "Pretty, but not beautiful. Though I have only seen one beautiful thing in my life." He swallowed, attempting to rid himself of the large lump in his throat and maybe slower the beating of his heart. With no progress he continued, "You." She looked at him in utter shock and surprise. That was the sweetest thing someone had ever said to her. And she didn't know how to respond. Her usually controlled emotions were now scattered and lively, ruining her concentration on the setting sun.
She didn't understand it. The sky was a masquerade of color and feeling. Content ness, sweetness, and love were all expressed on the warm and friendly colors splashed across the sky. Red, orange, yellow, gold all contained in such a slow movement. And for one spilt second, the hazy sky matched the wonderfully painted leaves. The whole scene was the most gorgeous she had ever seen… and yet he had just said that she was even more beautiful than that. It puzzled her.
"I guess I should go pack." he sadly picked himself up and Raven stopped him, "BeastBoy." He looked at her and she opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. She had nothing left to say but his name. And the feeling had terrified her. Her hand was cold from being in the brisk air so long, and his body was so warm. She shivered in response to the interaction between them and he pulled her up to him. He had no control. His mind said no, but his heart shouted yes. This wasn't what he should have done, he should have been packing for the long trip, but it just felt so good, so… right.
His forehead was soon leaning on top of hers and they seemed to have been dancing in the very last rays of the sun. Then, right before he closed the gap between them, a sudden gust of wind blew and pushed them against the door. Leaves that had been carried along with the two startled teenagers had now fallen upon the roof and the decided it was time to go back inside. They had almost done what they had secretly longed for a long time, but the wind cried no. Disappointed, they both trudged down the stairs, the only reminder of their moments together, their linked hands.
"BeastBoy? Are you coming?" Robin asked impatiently. The green teen snapped out of his silent plea for more as he nodded, "Yea."
A/N: and that is all folks! Like the Rae/BB moment there? I actually really enjoyed it and keep smiling thinking of my "friend" Kyle. That moment was pretty much based on how I felt for him and… oh God. I… (is at a loss for words) he's so sweet, and yet he's always making me laugh one way or another… (sighs) well guyz, I hope u all liked it! Please inspire me with your reviews and I may inspire you with more fluffy moments like these! (smiles and looks out the window at the sky) I hope I described the sunset right… I haven't seen an autumn sunset for a really long time. (sighs) I will tomorrow and compare them. God, how wonderful I feel at this very moment.

Chapter Two

A week passed by slowly and Starfire was still moody, but most of the time cheerful… and extremely loving. Her naturally motherly attitude was magnified by about ten times. (Which was strange, because with Starfire, there was NO such thing as being magnified, she WAS the limit to a motherly attitude.) She hung out with Robin most of the time and was being extra affectionate towards him… and he noticed this.

But inside her mind, Raven panicked. What would she say when Starfire's belly was popping out of her skirt, huh? What would she say three months from now? She was beginning to doubt the wisdom of her prior choice. Maybe Starfire SHOULD leave the team… no. If she left the team, Lexus could find her and that would be the end of her alien friend.

"Robin, this is ridiculous. It's not necessary… Robin, PLEASE. Just because Star's got a small cold doesn't mean that you have to go all the way to Tamaran by yourself and find out about it." Cyborg laughed. "I'm not going alone," The teenage team leader started, "YOU'RE going with me. And so is BeastBoy." The half human stared at him wide-eyed, "Man, you need to relax." And the green changeling pointed at the two girls in the corner who were meditating together, "And what about them?!"
The cloaked figure answered monotonously without losing her concentration, "We can't go. Starfire is sick and can't travel. And I can't go because we can't leave her here alone." BeastBoy frowned and sighed, "I guess that makes sense." Raven smirked underneath her hood and continued to chant, "Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos." Starfire was quiet and had fallen asleep. The leader sighed, "Pack your bags. We leave tomorrow morning."
BeastBoy was so stunned Cyborg had to drag him out of the common room and Robin went to go eat a pizza slice.

Grant it, that wasn't as sweet as his thoughts when Starfire was taken, but it was sweet enough.
The empath's emotion of Love sighed, "If only BeastBoy would say something like that about us." Rude objected, "NO WAY… THAT buffoon? God, I hope he NEVER says something like that about us." Knowledge smiled, "You like him, Rude. Refusal and denial are the first signs of an infatuation." The orange cloaked feeling gaped at her, "Why don't you make yourself useful, Know-it-all and SHUT UP." Knowledge sighed and walked away and Happy popped up, "Don't feel sad! Feel… um… HAPPY!" Knowledge rolled her eyes and giggled before Raven made them all shut up.
Robin waved a hand in front of the sorceress's face, "Raven? Raven? Wake up!" The dark empath did as she was told, not consciously of coarse, but immediately snapped out of her thinking as soon as he yelled, "Sorry. I must go." And her cloak whished behind her as she swept out of the room in a bit of a fluster. She needed more meditation, her emotions were slipping out of the little control she had… this wasn't good.

Starfire waved brightly at the spaceship that was leaving, "BYEBYE! BRING ME BACK A PRESENT!" Robin nodded and the T-ship left. ((T-ship right? RIGHT?!)) After her dearest friend left, the alien burst out in tears and Raven sighed, "This will be a LONG month." (Robin and the others were leaving 4 a month. Y a month? Beats me.)

She didn't understand it. The sky was a masquerade of color and feeling. Content ness, sweetness, and love were all expressed on the warm and friendly colors splashed across the sky. Red, orange, yellow, gold all contained in such a slow movement. And for one spilt second, the hazy sky matched the wonderfully painted leaves. The whole scene was the most gorgeous she had ever seen… and yet he had just said that she was even more beautiful than that. It puzzled her.
"I guess I should go pack." he sadly picked himself up and Raven stopped him, "BeastBoy." He looked at her and she opened her mouth to say something, but no words came out. She had nothing left to say but his name. And the feeling had terrified her. Her hand was cold from being in the brisk air so long, and his body was so warm. She shivered in response to the interaction between them and he pulled her up to him. He had no control. His mind said no, but his heart shouted yes. This wasn't what he should have done, he should have been packing for the long trip, but it just felt so good, so… right.
His forehead was soon leaning on top of hers and they seemed to have been dancing in the very last rays of the sun. Then, right before he closed the gap between them, a sudden gust of wind blew and pushed them against the door. Leaves that had been carried along with the two startled teenagers had now fallen upon the roof and the decided it was time to go back inside. They had almost done what they had secretly longed for a long time, but the wind cried no. Disappointed, they both trudged down the stairs, the only reminder of their moments together, their linked hands.
"BeastBoy? Are you coming?" Robin asked impatiently. The green teen snapped out of his silent plea for more as he nodded, "Yea."
A/N: and that is all folks! Like the Rae/BB moment there? I actually really enjoyed it and keep smiling thinking of my "friend" Kyle. That moment was pretty much based on how I felt for him and… oh God. I… (is at a loss for words) he's so sweet, and yet he's always making me laugh one way or another… (sighs) well guyz, I hope u all liked it! Please inspire me with your reviews and I may inspire you with more fluffy moments like these! (smiles and looks out the window at the sky) I hope I described the sunset right… I haven't seen an autumn sunset for a really long time. (sighs) I will tomorrow and compare them. God, how wonderful I feel at this very moment.

Riles- Okay, the time b4 this when u reviewed, you asked me if u should change ur name 2 Ms. Riles so that every1 knew… I don't really think so. Just sign Ms. Riles at the end of a review and that should b good enough. Okay, let's clear this up… I will do so in the next chapter, but right now I'll tell ya. LEXUS is the father. When he first brought her home… in Under the Moonlight, I didn't want to raise the rating b/c of a rape scene… so I left it off at, "and to her horror, her boots weren't the only thing he removed." and I kinda hoped that would give all the readers a clue as to where that was going. (sighs) I guess I didn't do it good enough. O well. I'm glad it's exiting and I'm glad that u're lovin' it! (ba da ba ba ba! I'm lovin' it!… that song is hypnotic I tell you!)
