This chapter is more serious and back on track.

----------------------------------------------------------

She realized that her staying seems to cause them pain. The whole time she was there, Robin was either in his room or avoiding her. So she was planning to leave that night. Glad I didn't bring any luggage. I'm gunna miss 'em, and I barely know them. She stood outisde, looking up at the tower. Faith was one lucky girl to have these guys as friends. Then fragments of many memories exploded in her head, they were all from Faith's view too. She held her head as if it would prevent an overflow.

The last thing I remembered was a blue light, and then everything went black, again!


'' I, I have the power to control the element of water '' I said monotonously, and truthfully.

'' You're just full of surprises '' Raven replied.

Robin pulled me aside to give me my own locator and showed me my room.

" No, I would NEVER lie to my friend " I shook my head to show my point.

Nina screamed out in pain, her knees feeling weak.

" Yes, you should be, i'll kill you! " I screamed at his face.

What if - nah, he wouldn't. They'll save me, Robin will.

He kicked me sharply in the ribs. I screamed in pain and cringed. I watched as he knelt down, looking in my face. Suddenly, he grabbed my hair and pulled my head up.

Then I fell down, feeling light-headed. I can't pass out yet. I have to wait, wait for Robin first. So I lay there for what seemed forever when I heard the hurry of footsteps. I turned my head to see the Titans running in.

" No, Raven's right, I'm not going to make it. Even with medical help, " I started and signaled Robin to quiet down, " so just listen. I think I used up my life, physically and spiritually, fighting Slayde. But I did it to save you guys so it was worth it. I want to thank you all for everything, taking me in and all. " I stopped as a sob escaped. Starfire and BB were already tearing. I took a deep breath and continued.

" I love you guys so much. You are the best friends a girl could have. I'll never forget you all, and don't forget me either! Just remember one thing, I'll always be with you, in your hearts. " I then turned to look up at Robin.

" Robin, you saved me on the first day we met, well kinda. We were friends, til fate brought us together. I love you so much, and always will. " I smiled weakly.

She dropped down onto her knees, still holding onto her head. In an instant, it all stopped, everything cleared.

" Are you okay? " asked Robin who helped her up.

" Yup i'm - what'reyoudoingouthere? "

" I heard a scream. " he said blandly.

" Oh, did I wake you? " she asked.

" Nah, I couldn't sleep anyway and what are you doing out here? "

" Well, you see, I uh, I was going to, eh buy ice cream! " she lamely lied.

" Ice cream, at this hour. " he looked at her.

" No, I was going to leave. It just seemed that me being here is painful for you guys. " she looked away.

" It's just that we still haven't gotten used to her being gone. I mean, she was with us for so long and then she's gone. " he threw a rock into the ocean. " Then you come along and it was just like when Faith first arrived, interrupting our lives..."

" See! That's what I mean! I feel like I'm taking her place... "

" And you have me to thank for that. I'm sorry. " he apologized.

" I can see how she fell in love with you, " she closed her eyes and listened to the ocean, " Sometimes, I feel her feelings. I think the reason why this never happnened before is that she never had any memories where I lived. She didn't know anyone I knew. "

" You felt her feelings? " he sounded as if he didn't believe her, but at this point, anything seemed possible.

" It was weird. I didn't tell you guys because it's her feelings, they're private. But I think she wouldn't mind you knowing, " Nina offered.

" Maybe some other time, it's late. Go to bed. " Robin scolded and went back inside.

Faith followed him, " If it's okay with you, can I go visit Faith's grave? " she asked.

She saw him stiffen up. ' Ooops, maybe I shouldn't have... ' she thought.

" Sure, we'll go tomorrow. "

------------------------------------Nina's Point Of View--------------------------------------

I'm glad Robin agreed to let me go visit Faith's grave. I almsot thought he'd get mad again. I looked at myself in the mirror. I had chosen an all black outfit, black top and pants. I picked up the bouqet of flowers I had bought earlier and went out. Robin was waitng for me outside, in a tuxedo. Aww! He looks so handsome!

" Nice tux. " I commented.

" Humph. " he grumbled.

He sat down on his motocycle and looked at me.

" What? " I asked.

" Get on, it's a long way to the cemetary. "

" But I can fly! " I protested.

" Even Starfire got tired, just get on. "

I gave up. I sat down behind him and just as I put my arms around his waist a torrent of emotions flushed over me, and I blushed.

" Whoa! That was a little too much for me. " I let go of him. That was a bit too intimate for me...

" What're you doing? " he turned around to face me.

" When I touched you atfirst, I was bombarded with Faith's feelings... " I blushed even redder.

" Oh, " Robin also blushed, " Maybe you could fly for as long as you can, then ride with me. "

" Okay, let's get going. "

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Man, that took forever just to get here! I wiped the sweat off my forehead. I had flown about 3/4's the way and rode with Robin the last 1/4. I followed him up a hill, left, the left again, the right and up another hill.

" How much longer? " I panted.

" Just a little more, her's is on the top hill. " he replied.

" The top! " I was a little amazed, she get's the top.

We walked for like ten more minutes before I was going to die.

" Robin, how much - "

" We're here. " he announced.

" Oh, okay! " I smiled feeling so relieved.

I stood infront of Faith's grave and read the tombstone :

Faith

A Goddess

A Smile That Never Fades

A Teen Titans Nonetheless

1985 - 2001

Wow, she was only 16 when she died...I wonder how old she was when she met the Titans. I put the flowers into the cups on the side of the head stone.

" She was 14 when we met her. She was being held by gunpoint but she saved herself. That was her first transformation, even she didn't know what was going on. But even though she was clueless, she knew how to use her powers and control them. The only thing she had a problem with was tranforming in and out but she got it, " said Robin who was behind her, " Then, after half a year with us, she officially became a Titan. She was so happy. "

" I know she was. I was in her room last night before I left, and her memory of getting her communicator and room popped up. "

" Starfire and I used to like one another. But Faith changed that, with her around, I just didn't feel the same about Star. When Starfire came to me to confess her love, I refused her because I no longer loved her. I was surprised when Starfire told me that Faith was the one who told her to tell me. She had said to Starfire, ' Star, let me tell you something. He won't know unless if you don't tell him. Life has answers, IF you ask the questions. If you don't say anything, you'll lose your chance and him '. "

" That's really good advice. But she seemed pretty nutso in the home movie... " I doubted his words.

" Nope, it was all her. She was also the one who told me to go talk to Star and become friends again. Faith also was able to settle down Cy and Beast Boy during meals, " Robin continued, " She'd still be here if it weren't for Slayde. If only I had gotten rid of him before she did. "

Slayde, wasn't that name on the news once? Terra did say she died because she killed Slayde.

" Do you think you can tell me what happened? " I asked softly.

" I'd rather not talk about it..."

" It's okay, I was just asking. " I was a little bit disappointed though.

There was a familar ackward silence. This feels really uncomfortable. I noticed some dirt on Faith's headstone and went over to clean it off. Just as I touched the granite block, I feel something cold wash over me. Then I seemed to be in a whole different place and Robin was no where to be seen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

MWA HAHAHAHA! CLIFFIE!!!
