Hi! I am sooo sorry that I haven't updated!!! As we all know, I'm lazy! I actually wrote this chapter a billion years ago but I never put it up! Well, here it is!

Chapter Dedication: Um… no one, because I think I have done everyone so far! Well, Pierre Bouvier rocks, but like he likes Teen Titans… ;)

Chapter 7: Worries & Burdens

The Titans started discussing what could have happened.

"Well, in worst-case-scenario," Robin said, "Someone might have gotten him and tried to re-program him."

"Which would mean the steak-incident all over again," Beast Boy said.

"What's the steak-incident?" Demonfire asked.

"Let's just say that it isn't good when someone messes with Cyborg's system," Raven said.

"Shall we look for Cyborg?" Starfire asked.

"Well, we might as well," Robin sighed. "But let's just hope nothing happened."

After they went outside, everyone flew (except for Robin, who was carried by Star) and they went to the Civic Center, where the convention was held.

They landed in the parking lot.

"Well, we're here," Beast Boy said. "Where should we look first?"

"Those shadowy figures might help us," Raven said, pointing to three figures inside of the building behind a window.

"How are we going to get in?" Starfire asked.

"Let's break through the windows," Demonfire said.

"That's destroying property," Robin said. "There's got to be another way…"

"Who cares about property?" Demonfire said. Then she used her flamebolts to burn through the windows. Then she flew through them.

"Star, what's wrong with your sister?" Beast Boy asked. Star wouldn't reply; it seemed that she was holding back tears. Robin took note of this and decided to talk to her later.

They walked through the hole and followed Demonfire, which was hard task. Luckily the found her, and she was about to attack two boys.

They looked like computer nerds, and they were examining Cyborg.

"Demonfire! Stop!" Robin said. He pushed Demonfire so her flamebolts missed their target.

"We were just looking at him, we swear!" the terrified boys said. Then they ran off, out the doors.

"Looks like he needed to be recharged," Robin said, looking over Cyborg. "We better go home."

Then they all flew back to the T Tower.

The next evening, Demonfire had gone to the movies with Speedy, Beast Boy and Raven had gone, again, to get pizza, and Cyborg was fixing the TV screen because last time he beat Beast Boy, the changeling decided to throw his controller at the screen.

Starfire was in the kitchen, looking for some food. She opened the fridge and pulled out something that was edible and didn't have green mold on it. She put it in the microwave and waited for the food.

Robin came in; he was sweaty from working out. "Hey Star. Whatcha eating?"

The microwave beeped, and Star got her food out and set it on the table.

"It is… brown?" she said.

"Never mind," he said. "Star, I have to ask you something. What was wrong with Demonfire yesterday? She didn't seem like herself."

Starfire sighed. "It is sad, friend Robin."

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's okay," he replied.

"No, I will tell you." She sighed again. "Demonfire is similar to what you would call… possessed. She has a mental disorder that few people from my home planet have."

"Possessed?" Robin almost shouted in surprise. "What does it do?

"

"Inside her head, there is a voice that tells her to do the wrong thing, but tells her it is right. Similar to a conscience." Star said. "There is a remedy on Tameran, but I do not know of it."

"Star… I'm sorry," Robin said lamely. He didn't know what to say about this sort of thing.

"Well… when she is angry, she acts different. But when she is very angry, she transforms into… something like a demon."

"Hence the name Demonfire," Robin said.

"Please don't tell her this," Starfire said. "I do not want her to know that I worry about her."

"Don't worry Starfire," Robin said. "I won't tell her."

Star started to cry, and Robin comforted her. "It's okay, Star. One day she'll be cured…"

"Thank you, friend Robin," she said, wiping her eyes. "It is a very hard thing for me to talk about."

Starfire then decided she wasn't hungry, so she offered her "food" to Robin.

She looked at the clock on the microwave. "It is eight, the time Demonfire said she would be home," she announced.

She went to the front door to go outside and when she opened it, she saw Speedy kissing Demonfire.

They saw her and immediately stopped. "Oh… hi Star! Well, later Speedy!" Demonfire ran into the Tower, nearly running over Starfire.

"What was that?" Star asked.

"He was kissing me good-night," Demonfire explained. "I didn't know that you opened the door, though!"

"I am sorry, sister," Star said.

"It's okay." Demonfire walked in. "Is Beast Boy and Raven still gone?"

"I guess so," Starfire replied. "They have been for a few hours."

"Well, I hope they come back soon," Demonfire said. Just as she finished, BB and Rae walked in.

"Why do y'all keep going to the pizza place?" Robin asked.

"No reason," Beast Boy said. Then he went up to his room, and Raven went to hers.

Robin shrugged then walked off to his own room.

"Oh, guess what, Star?" Demonfire said excitedly. "Speedy asked me to be his girlfriend!"

"That is good, sister!" Starfire said. "I just wish that Robin would go with me…"

"Star, he probably likes you, and he'll eventually ask you out," Demonfire said. "Don't worry about it, okay?"

"Okay," Star said. She thought, I cannot worry about it because I am worrying about you.

What Happens in Chapter 8: One of the Titans is suddenly sick and has to go to the hospital, Raven keeps denying her feelings for a certain someone, Robin wants to make his move on Star, and Starfire feels as if she is her sister's keeper!

Okay, no responses because I'm lazy! Again! Man, that's really sad… and if you liked Beast Boy's Not So Secret Secret, I'm writing the sequel!!! Yay!!!

Review… and I'll shut up about Pierre. Haha, I'm just kidding. Free chocolate bars!
