i'm so sorry that took such a long time for me to update! i BLAME SCHOOL!

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

Faith's gift to Robin was her choker. The one with the black strap and the snowflake at the throat. It was identical to the one I had except mine had a flame instead of a snowflake. I watched Robin stare at it with such emotion. That emotion reminded me of someone very important.

" Guys, can I use your phone? " I asked.

" Sure, it's over there. " BB pointed.

I've been gone for nearly a month and had forgotten to contact my someone. I am so dead! I dialed the familiar numbers and listened to the dial tone. Come on, pick up!

" Hello? " I asked unsure of who had picked up.

" Hi, who are you looking for? "

" Danny? Is that you? " I whispered.

" NINA! Where have you been the past month? I thought you were dead or kidnapped! Did you just forget about your boyfriend?!" he screamed so loudly that I had to pull away from the reciever.

" Don't worry, I'm in Gotham City. With the Teen Titans. "

" In where with who?! " his voice was thick with disbelief.

" In Gotham City with the Teen Titans. " I repeated.

" You're not joking are you. "

" Nope. "

" So, are you coming back? " he asked

" I don't know Danny, I don't know. " I sighed.

" What do you mean ' I don't know' ? " he shrieked in a girly voice.

I missed that, that all everything else about him. We set aside the issue of me staying or leaving and chatted. I loved hearing his voice, even though he was miles away. When Robin announced trouble, and shouted out his trademark phrase, I didn't want to go. I know that it was wrong of me to think that but I just didn't want to leave something that brought me so much comfort. Besides, it was the only familiar thing I had seen or heard in the past month. But reluctantly, I left.

" What's that noise? " he was referring to the alarm that was ringing it's head off.

" Oh god, I have to go but I swear I'll call back! "

" Be careful! "

" I will. Bye. "

" Bye. "

I clicked the reciever and flew out the doors, after Starfire. When the Titans and I reached the crime scene, we found nothing. Everyone and everthing was at peace, well normal to say the least. There were no insane criminals out to take over the world, no evil phycos trying to rob a back. I'm pretty sure I heard that alarm and Robin did yell ' Titans Go! ' Next to me, Starfire was just as puzzled. Robin, who was just up ahead, was checking his communicator again.

" Yo Robin, you sure this ain't a false alarm? " Cyborg asked.

" I'm not sure. There was distress signal coming from here. " Robin said as he scratched the back of his neck.

" Friends, have we gotten the lost? "

" Starfire, it's ' gotten lost '. " Raven said bleakly.

Starfire bobbed her head up and down in response. Leave it to Starfire to change the meanings of the English language. The six heros searched the premises to find it spotless. There was no bad in sight. I'm wondering if this may be a trap... Finally, Robin decided to give up and head back for the Tower. It was weird, that the alarm went off when there was no crime committed. From what I hear, the alarm is extremely accurate and never wrong. On our tread back, we encountered Cinderblock and Overload wrecking the city.

" I knew it! " Robin growled. " Titans, go! "

Starfire, Raven, and I took flight and went for the heads. Robin slipped out his staff and charged for their feet. BB morphed into a sparrow and twittered around their eyes. Cyborg shot his cannon at Overload's chest. Starfire went on first, firing at will and nonstop at Overload's head. There was a flash of black energy that sent a mailbox into Cinderblock's chest. As for me, I was the odd one out. They seemed to be working in perfect harmony, each had another's back. In one quick flick, Cinderblack swatted Starfire and Raven away as if they were flies. Both girls slammed into the ground, leaving dents.

" Starfire! Raven! You guys okay? " I yelled with worry.

There was no answer from either of them.

I hope they're okay! They aren't moving! I had begun to fly over to them when Cinderblock thwacked me from behind.

" RAARRGH HAHAHA! " it was between a triumphant laugh and a growl.

I quicky got back up on my feet. There was a light sting in my back but it wasn't much. In a flash, I had risen to his face.

" Special delivery. " I smirked just before I punched him about five times, sending him faltering back.

I flexed my hand for a bit, waiting for him to get himself together. Being a goddess has it's moments. Superstrength comes in handy all the time. By the time my hand was less sore, he was up and ready. In the air, I postioned myself in a martial arts stance, prepared for Cinderblock to attack. He did that little roaring thing again and lunged towards me. Fire doesn't affect rock, does it? I decided to not take the chance and stick with physical assualt. Behind me, I could hear the Titans battling it out with Overload. They seemed busy enough, so I didn't ask for backup. Okay, I can do this! I balled up her hands, and ignited them. I then sped at top speed for Cinderblock's face.

" Lights out. "

I smashed her fist directly into his face, knocking him out. OUCH!

" Good job Nina. " praised Robin.

" You showed him who's boss dude! " BB gave me a friendly pat.

" Thanks guys. " I smiled at them.

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

" HAPPY ALMOST NEW YEARS! " Cyborg screamed in my ears.

" Yeah, you too. " I grumbled.

Having someone shout in your ears just after you've awaken isn't all that great. I'm gunna be death before the age of 20. I rubbed my ears and looked around the main room for Starfire.

" Have you guys seen Starfire? We were supposed to go shopping. " I asked Cyborg.

" She's in the work room I think. " answered Beast Boy.

" Okay, thanks. "

I walked down the hallway, and headed for the gym room. As I neared it, I could hear someone punching the punching bag. I didn't know that Starfire used the punching bag. Turns out, it wasn't Starfire, it was Robin. Okay, be cool.

" Uh, hi, do you know where Starfire is? " I asked the boy.

He stopped his excercise, " She was just here. I think she said something about a shower and the mall. "

" 'Kay, thanks. "

" Hey Nina, "

" Yeah? "

" I'm sorry, about the way I treated you when we first met. I'm pretty sure I didn't leave a great first impression. "

" Oh, don't worry. I understand why you were like that. Besides, we're friends now right? " I beamed at the Boy Wonder.

" Right. "

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

This makes me feel so, so dirty...I can't just do this...But I miss Danny so much...

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

That day, I enjoyed shopping with Starfire. We had a blast and so much fun! During the evening BB, Cy, and I played Twister. Then we all watched a movie while eating dinner. What I was about to do made me feel so guilty. But I had to do it. I packed what little possesions I had gained over my stay. There were a few particles of clothing and the Christmas gifts they had given me. I wrote a short note and stuck it to the fridge. I left the Tower around 10 o 'clock but I had to sneak out since everyone was still awake. I'm glad tonight's not cold or raining. I took off into the night, heading for home, to High City.

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

I arrived and landed infront of that familiar house. I took in a deep breath to calm myself down. Slowly, very slowly, I walked up each step and at the top step, I put down my bag. My finger went for the doorbell. -DING DONG- From behind the door I could hear voices.

" Dude, get the door! The fireworks are almost starting! "

" Alright! Sheesh, who could it be at this time of night. "

My palms began to sweat and my heart began to beat faster. The door opened and from behind it, came the face I loved. An 18 year old boy with spikey black hair, almond brown eyes, and that cute smile.

" Danny Nathaniel Polmer. " I said sternly.

" Nina? " he squeaked nervously.

I threw my arms around him.

" I missed you so much Danny! " I cried.

He returned my hug.

" I missed you to. "

The fireworks began to go off. We both let go of one another and stared at the bright lights. This is so perfect.. Danny looked down at his watch and then up at me.

" What? " I asked him with a smile.

" You ever heard of that ' kiss someone at 12 and stuff '? "

" No..."

" Neither have I. "

Danny dramatically dipped me down and gave me my first kiss of the new year.
