Disclaimer: I don't own Teen Ti…Um, A little help here!

What have I done to make you hate me this way?
Is it what I do or is it what I say?
Is it because you wanted lots of children, and I am your only one?
Or is it because I am your daughter, and you wanted a son.

I wanted your protection. I needed your fatherly embrace.
But you say you want 'masculinity's perfection'. I fail to see your case.
You want a son to carry on our family's name. That is what you desire.
But I would carry our people's fame, to a level so much higher.
If only you would test me, my K'norfka, and let me prove my worth,
I'd show you that my value exceeds that of ten sons, for I am yours by birth.

I must leave but you won't follow and here is what pains me most,
Is that your love for me has always been hollow, but in my heart, I keep you close.
It is a strange place that I recall. It is a planet known as Earth.
I will settle on this strange blue ball, and there I will prove my worth.

I found him here, a kindred soul. There's a passion in his spirit.
He tells me his dreams. I tell him mine because you simply would not hear it.
With righteous fury he leads and fights with me; with boundless confidence, follow him I will.
The joy of flight is my glee. To be a part of his team is my thrill.
To you, I was a child's toy; something of which you would eventually tire,
To my new friends we have so much joy. To them, I am the Titan Starfire!

I would most certainly like to see you, but I ask myself where and when,
For all that I have been through, I cannot return to the same life again.
Don't wait for your life to end when all is said and done,
To realize that I love you and that I am you daughter, your first and only one!
I tell you the truth, K'norfka, the healing would have begun,
The day you accept the fact that I'm your daughter not your son!

The End


Raven looked down at the paper for a few seconds then slowly looked up. The others were awestruck and speechless. Raven misinterpreted their expressions and she quickly put her hood up. She struggled to contain her gray-cloaked persona, Anxiety.

"Raven," Robin finally spoke up. "That was…"

"Truly marvelous!" Starfire finished.

"Yeah!" Added Cyborg. "Girl, I didn't know you could write like that!"

"It wasn't even that depressing!" Said Beast Boy.

"Beast Boy!" Shouted the other three.

Raven smiled slightly as she returned to her seat. Anxiety was contained and Raven regained her stoic composure. As she sat down, Beast Boy reached up and put her hood down.

"That's better," he said.

"All right, Starfire, it's your turn." Said Robin.

Before Starfire got up, she leaned over and whispered to Raven. "That was truly beautiful, Raven. Concerning my traumatic childhood, you are closer than you know."

As Starfire took her place, Cyborg crossed his arms and leaned back into the sofa. He just had a REALLY bad feeling about this.

It was a glorious day! Cyborg was carrying a basket of glorg to his greatmother. He was attacked by his enemy Giz- I mean Bumblebee.

"Yo! It is the known enemy of the Titans, Bumblebee!"

"Ha ha ha!" Said the laughing Bumblebee, "It is I! I have come to destroy you; you bag that contains the barf!"

"Wait!" Cyborg reached into his basket and pulled out a N'wlin. "Please, accept this as a token of by desire to be your N'wlin."

"You sniffer of the pits! You jest!" said Jinx.

"We should not be fighting, Jinx" said Cyborg. "I wish for all of us to be N'wlins."

"I accept," said Bumblebee. "I will use all of my mechanical inventions to help the Titans in their fight against crime." They held hands and skipped though a field of knor'ts.

The End

Author's Note: The name Gizmo had been changed so that you will not know that this was really a Cy/Gizmo.


"Okay," said Raven. "I am officially dumbfounded."

Cyborg had put his head in his hands.

"So, what are your thoughts?" Asked Starfire.

"Uhhhh….." The team was struggling to find the right words. Cyborg spoke up. "Star, I thought you said it took you hours to write that?"

"Most assuredly. It is difficult to write something original."

Robin tried to be tactful. "Starfire, don't you think that Cyborg was a bit…out of character?"

"Speaking of which," added BB, "who exactly WAS the other character? It sounded like Gizmo, but you kept changing the names."

"Oh no, it was not Gizmo," said Starfire. "It was definitely the barbarian Sara-Lee person that Cyborg had met." Starfire looked hurt as she realized her mistake.

Cyborg just shook his head. At least she tried. He thought. He stood up and took Starfire's place to get her out of the spotlight. As Starfire was about to sit down, Cyborg put a hand on her shoulder.

"You did good, Star," he smiled.

Starfire beamed and giggled.

"You really enjoyed it?"

"Actually, it was pretty decent in a jacked up sorta way."

Cyborg faced his team, looked down at his story, and cleared his throat.


Author's Note: In the cartoon series, a lot of Starfire's weird words are actually the names of some of the staff. So, I used N'wlin which is actually spelled Nowlin (that's 'Now' as in now and 'lin' as in violin). It was the maiden name of my mother who passed away in December of 2004. She would always say that I needed to lighten up a bit. This one's for you, Ma! You were always my N'wlin, my dear K'norfka. I have to go now; my spellchecker is giving me dirty looks!
