Chapter Ten: The Friends That They Are
"So Star," Robin continued, "I'll meet you down here at say, seven?"
"The hour of the seven would be most wonderful yes Robin," Star said, hardly containing her joy. Does she really love me though? Robin kept wondering to himself. I still can't believe I told her that I loved her... but I hope it'll work out for the better.
After that, Starfire and Robin went and did normal things, that they did everyday. Raven and Beast Boy had other troubles to worry about however, and they were much more complicated than dates.
"What is-"
"DON'T TOUCH THAT!" Beast Boy screamed, knocking Terra's hand out of the way. She was about to initiate the launch sequence for the T-Ship.
"Aww.." Terra complained, "You're mean..."
"You can really stop talking like that now Terra," Raven said in annoyance, refering to the girl's whiny tone.
"What's wrong with the way she's talking?" Beast Boy asked. Raven raised an eyebrow. "Oh, you mean that? Oh it's not annoying! It's cute!" Raven almost fell over.
"Huh?" Terra asked. "Green Boy think I cute?" Then she started laughing. Raven almost destroyed several things trying to keep in her frustration.
They were at the roof, where other than a few buttons, Terra couldn't do much damage. Thank God she hasn't discovered her powers yet... Raven thought.
"Rock moving, rock moving!!!!" Terra shouted as she, without knowing it, brought a giant rock hurtling towards them.
"No SHIT!" Raven yelled, stopping the rock with her powers. For a second their powers were merged, and Terra suddenly remembered something. She remembered how it had been when she and Raven were fighting over those rocks, each using their powers. She dropped the rock. She looked normal again, and she collapsed to her knees. Beast Boy bent down to see what was wrong. she threw her arms around his neck and cried into his shoulder.
"What's wrong Terra?" Beast Boy asked, deeply concerned.
"I did... all those things... you should have left me as a statue!" She cried out. She jumped into the air, and a rock came to her aid. She flew off on it faster than anyone could react.
"No, TERRA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was seven. Robin had finally perfected his looks and Starfire had finally picked the 'perfect' dress. (She only has three dresses.) It was a white nightgown sort of dress, with a silver rimmed v-neck, stretching down to expose quite a bit of skin, which with Robin around, could be potentially hazardous. Robin wore a tux, along with his same old mask.
Robin walked down the stairs, and the door slid open. When he entered Star perked up happily. "Hello Robin!" she greeted him, flying over with a hug. Robin couldn't take his eyes off her. "You... you look beautiful Star," he said.
She blushed, "Thankyou Robin, you look most nicely as well, yes?" Robin grinned.
"Thanks." They stood there for a few seconds, then Robin, after checking his watch, said, "So, I guess we'll get going. Where do you want to go?"
Starfire didn't know, so they decided to pick on their walk downtown. They held hands and talked softly, then ended up going to some cheap but good restaurant. For such as casual restaurant, they looked quite out of place with their nice clothes on. Robin ignored the stares from people in jeans and jackets, and sat down by a window, at a table for two. Starfire sat opposite him, and looked out the window at the street, thoughts of her love for Earth, and Robin, filling her head. She saw a single snowflake fall to the ground, then turned as a voice said, "What'll it be?"
Robin checked over the menu again. Starfire hadn't looked at all, so Robin went ahead and said, "Ah, we'll take two Spaghetti dinners, with rolls, salads, and breadsticks." After the waitress had taken that down, she said, "Anything to drink, hon?"
Before Starfire could say 'mustard please!' Robin answered, "Water will be fine, thanks." The waitress nodded slightly and left, posting the order outside the kitchen on her way to the backdoor, for her cigarette break.
The two love-birds talked a while, waiting for their food to come. Star of course was facinated by the now falling snow. She had seen snow before, but it was still rather new to her.
"Tell me Robin," she said, "will we get to pound out all the live waste of each other with snowballs?" This was her way of asking if they were gonna pound the crap out of each other in a snowball fight.
"Yeah, we'll be sure to do that," Robin said, noticing that their food had come already. The waitress set it all on the table, and left. It was a rather large meal, and they each had one.
A heaping plate of spaghetti, and several large meatballs was accompanied by a plate of breadsticks, in front of Robin. Starfire had the same in front of her, and there was a giant salad bowl in the middle of the table, next to a plate of large, steaming rolls. I really don't want to pay for all this... Robin though, half jokingly to himself. But when he glanced up to see Star smile at the display of food, he knew she was worth every penny.

"Terra's gone?" Cyborg asked.
"Yes," Raven said, "She remembered everything, and then she flew off."
"And B.B. went to look for her?"
"Yeah."
"What'd I miss?" Silver said, walking onto the roof.
"Terra's gone," Raven said.
"She remebered everything-" Cyborg continued, but was cut off.
"And then she flew-" Raven tried to get out.
"She flew off, and then B.B..."
"He went to look-"
No one seemed to notice that Silver wasn't listening anymore, and had already gotten the gist of the story. Just when Raven and Cyborg finally shut up, Foxfire appeared in a blurry flash. "What'd I miss?" Raven just slapped her forehead and let Cyborg explain. "Oh..." was all Fox had to say when Cy was done.
"Yeah."
"So are we gonna try to find Beast Boy or not?" Fox asked.
"Let him be," Cyborg said. "This thing with Terra, he's the only one who can fix it."
Fox nodded, "I understand." She turned to go, with a look of slight anger at Silver. She was still not at peace with the relationship between him and Rae. "Wait!" Silver called, stepping over to her. "I know it's dark, and cold, but do you wanna, go for a walk?" He paused, seeking Raven's approval. Her face revealed nothing, but he went ahead with it anyway. "Ah, sure, a walk would be nice.." Fox said, walking towards Silver. A 'walk' huh? Raven thought to herself. Whatever...
Foxfire, followed by Silver, jumped off the top of the tower in a flash, landing in a crouch on the ground. Then they walked towards the small bridge connecting the tower's island to the rest of the city. "Oh," Foxfire began, "You know as well as I do we both love the cold, and dark." Silver grinned.
"You're right," he said. "Kinda weird comin' from a chick who can spew flames from her a-"
"SILVER!" she yelled, shoving him. "Don't say such things," she mocked a shiver of disgust. This is great! Fox thought, We're finally becoming the friends that we are.
They got to the city, and before the two knew any different, their hands slipped in place together at their sides. Fox pointed to the bright lights and sounds the two were approaching. "Carnival?" she asked.
"Sure," Silver replied, picking up the pace. Together they ran like little kids, hand in hand, to the carnival, ready for a nigth of fun.
Meanwhile a dark pair of eyes watched the friends in sadness and anger. You'd better not do this to me...Silver...

Beast Boy sniffed the ground again, in the form of a bloodhound. The girl's scent was getting much stronger. Almost there Terra. Beast Boy thought. I'm almost there.
About a quarter mile away, a young teenage girl sat crying her eyes out, in the middle of a great grassy plain, far outside Gotham. She heard someone coming, and looked up, but not before having a stone ready to hurl if any enemies were approaching. Her heart filled with sorrow and joy as she saw who approached. Beast Boy.

As two figures walked into a busy world and fun, two other figures, Robin and Starfire walked out of it. They were hand in hand, slowly making their way down the sidewalk. They had somehow eaten all of their meal. Maybe not eating breakfast or lunch helped..
Every now and then they would talk or laugh together, and sometimes they just walked slowly, enjoying each other's company. The snow had stopped long ago, and none of it stuck, but it was fun while it lasted. Maybe Star's the one... Robin thought dreamily, Stop talking like that Robin! Why am I thinking about that kind of stuff? But I'm in love with Starfire, this alien girl. I guess there just wasn't a bride for me on Earth, so destiny had to intervene. And destiny brought me Starfire.
"Robin," Starfire said, in a not cheerful, but not unhappy, tone.
"Yeah Star?" Robin asked. They stopped walking and dropped hands. Then Starfire grasped both of Robin's hands, pulling them to her chest. Robin wasn't used to the contact and signs of affection, but he wasn't complaining.
"Are we in love?" she asked. Robin had to think for a minute.
"Well Star," he said finally, "if I love you, and you love me, then yes, we are in love."
"But Robin.."
"Yes?"
"Well, Raven once told me that there was a difference between loving someone and being in love. I am in love with you Robin."
"And I with you," Robin replied. "Someone told me once, to be with my best friend, to marry them. You are my best friend Starfire, because I will always want to be with you. So yes, I am in love with you." Starfire was much happier now.
Suddenly, after a minute, it dawned on the two how close they were. All I'd have to do is lean forward... Robin was thinking. But Starfire did that first. She leaned in, and her lips pressed against Robin's, in the middle of the sidewalk at night and all. Robin's tongue tasted Starfire's lips, so sweet, new and exciting, yet familiar all at the same time. His tongue was invited in. They stood there, kissing passionately, until neither could breathe any longer.

Beast Boy and Terra sat on the cold ground. Beast Boy had done his best to make Terra feel better about all that she had done. After it was all done, Terra put her head on Beast Boy's shoulder and cried. She didn't stop crying for a long time, and Beast Boy didn't try to say anything to her. He just hugged her and comforted her the best he could.
After Terra had had enough crying, she gave Beast Boy a strangling hug, not unlike Starfire's hugs. "Are you ready to go home?" Beast Boy asked, yawning.
Terra, her eyes closed, nodded, and said, "In the morning..." then the two slowly fell backwards and fell asleep laying on their backs, closed eyes staring up at the stars.

"Got any money?" Silver asked Fox, standing at the ticket stand, holding up the whole line.
"Yeah." Silence.
"Can I have some?" Silver asked finally.
"Sure." Silver smiled inwardly. She had picked up this trick of being difficult from him.
"Can I have some...now?"
"Oh right, sure," and to the great relief of the impatient waiters in the line, she pulled out some cash from her pocket, and handed it to Silver. They bought as many tickets as they could but saved some money for food.
"Merry Go Round?" Fox asked.
Silver laughed, "Sure.." they went and wasted some tickets on that, about five times. (Fox brought a lot of money.) They were having a blast, and finally, for the first time in days, were great friends again. Silver, thoughts of Raven nowhere to be found in his head, couldn't wait for the ferris wheel.
