SUMMARY: After a year of being part of the Teen Titans, Starfire is requested to return to her home planet Tamaran. But she doesn't know why. Her friends go with her for support and for a new adventure to see what Starfire's world is really like. They find Tamaran to be a very strange place; toilet, chair, or monster Beast Boy cried.

Starfire's parents turned out to be the grand rulers of the planet, with Starfire as its youngest princess. The king and queen presents to Starfire Karras, the irresistible beautiful young prince from Southern Tamaran. Starfire is supposed to marry him.

Starfire doesn't want to marry him and none of the Titans like Karras, especially Robin. But in Tamaran, it is traditioned to marry whoever the princess was betrothed to. But there's more to Karras than what many people would think. For a dark plan lingers in the air with his determination to be king. Will Starfire return to her new home on Earth or will she be forced to marry someone she clearly doesn't love?

"To Have And To Hold"

Chapter 1: Nature's Wonders R/S fluff!

The night was young and had just arrived fresh and cool. The wind blew through the trees, their branches dancing. The stars were dimly shining individually, but together they created the ultimate field of fireflies in the deep depths of space. Some clouds were displayed, flowing gently wherever the wind took them. The sky had a deep royal blue color, the stars surrounding it to fill its empty space.

The waves in the water overlapped each other, foam formed each time the waves would crash into each other or into the sandy beaches on the shore. Holes multiplied in the sand, the airpocket for little sea creatures to hide from light and man. Sea kelp afloated with the water and was left along to rot in the shores.

On the shore was a regular, normal distant city. Jump City. Lights of different colors blazed on throughout the streets and sides of the tall sky scrapers that were built in the territory. Colors like ember, rosy pink, lavender, green, sunshine yellow flickered in and out with recognition. Lightpoles, streetlights, club signs, the carnival rides close to the bay in the Pier. Watching the city with its illumionary colors and sounds that whistle in your ear, it seemed like magic.

But the stars themselves were more than magic. They were one of god's natural wonders and gifts to his children. The stars were alined in many constellasions, some not even discovered. Each person could create their own image by connecting the dots of the stars.

A cloud was forming from afar, trying to block and ruin the magic of the night. It formed into a dark gray color and started to expand. But then something as fast as a rocket rushed through the cloud and its substance lost its bonds and disappeared into vapor. A trial of green flew around like a sparkler, a shooting star across the sky.

A giggle echoed through the colds heights of the sky, but it did nothing to bother her. A mush of red hair flapped against her back like the patriotic flag. Half of her body was enguled and was whirled inside a green light. Her arms were stretched out and her eyes were closed, breathing in deeply the sweet scent of the night and cool air. Her purple miniskirt flowed back and forth loosely against her skinny legs.

Her skin prickled with goosebumps, but it thrilled her with excitement. The wind rushing to her emerald eyes was nothing but a relaxing, calm feeling to her. Too loud to here anything else but the whispers that go on inside her mind.

Starfire glanced down at the watery surface of the bay close to Titans Tower. The moonlight bathed the surface in glitterly specks of white and pale blue, like real jewels floated on top of the water. The waves merged with the next and ripples formed when a wave crashed.

Titans Towers was her home, a place where she belonged. A place where she had wonderful, caring friends who, to her, knew so much and were always there to help her. They had took her in as one of the Teen Titans, a superhero to protect Jump City as well as the world from destruction. Each of the other four titans she cared for dearly and wouldn't wish for anything else.

She smiled to herself as she shifted her body and zipped down to the troposphere of Earth. Clouds passed her face like soft feathers and the wind howled and whistled loudly in her ears. But she ignored it and concentrated on making herself go faster. She was getting awfully close to the water, ready to dive. But instead, she made a sharp 90 degree angle and flew close over the water.

The rush created small waves flowing on each side as she flew over the ocean. She turned her body around, letting her back face the water. Some water splashed on her back, cooling it down. She closed her eyes and relaxed. The joy of flight had never surprised her.

As she flew over the water, with her hands behind her neck, she took a deep breath and happy memories flashed into her mind like a slideshow. Her friends were the only ones part of it, because all of her memories involved them. Beast Boy, the comedian. Cyborg, the athlete and mechanic. Raven, the goth and mind reader. And Robin, the leader of them all.

Robin. The first person she had ever met. The first person she became best friends with. The closest friend she ever had. He was tall and handsome, brave and strong, wise and wonderful. She could tell him anything, whether about a Earthling custom or something that had been bothering her. He would eagerly answer, like he didn't mind the many and sometimes pointless quiestions. He was willing to help her. To her, Robin was-

"Having fun?" A voice spoke closely in her ear.

Starfire's eyes shot up and she lost her concentration and flew down into the water with a splash. She coughed off the salty water and raised herself from the water. She flipped her wet hair back, shaking off the water off some of her hair. She looked up and noticed a familiar young boy with jet black hair standing on shore, now his spiky hair flat against his face and his face dripping wet with sea water.

Starfire giggled at Robin and approached him. "Greetings Robin! What brings you out here on this cold evening?" Robin smiled and wiped the water of his cheeks. He shook his head and the spikes on his hair returned. "I was going to ask you the same thing."

Starfire giggled as she twisted her hair and made it into a quick braid so the wetness wouldn't bother her so much. "I love flying. It is something to keep me relax and have peace." "Oh..."

Starfire arched an eyebrow. Robin was being quiet, too quiet on his part. Why would he be looking for her? Was there something he wanted to talk to her-alone-about. "Is there something the matter, Robin?" Robin looked at her through his masked eyes. The only part of him she had never seen.

"Uh-No! I mean...nothing's wrong really." Robin was blessed that the night was dark, because otherwise Starfire would notice the rosy color that formed in his pale cheeks. His legs began to shake and his stomach was gurgling so much, he wanted to throw up.

'Except that I-'

"Robin, let us return inside. We do not wish to catch a cold, do we?" She said suddenly.

Robin looked up and stared into her jade eyes, almost confused. But he brought himself to nod. "Yeah...sure, Star. Let's go." Starfire smiled and started walking toward the Tower. But Robin didn't move from his spot.

'I can't even finish saying it in my head. I'm so stupid!' He shouted at himself.
'Well, that's for fault for being chicken.' His inner voice answered him.
'Shut up.'
'Well, birdboy? Are you going to tell her or not?' His conscious asked him sternly. 'Because you'll never get that chance again if you don't.'

Robin rubbed the back of his neck, his body tensed and unsure of what to do. He tapped his foot against solid rock and bit his finger too hard. He winced from the pain before his brain finally knew what to say.

"Starfire!"

Starfire stopped and turned her whole body around. Under the moonlight, she appeared like a goddess or a beautiful nymph that wondered through the woods secretly. Her emerald eyes were softer under the white light and her features were smooth. Every part of her, Robin loved so much. This feeling has been juggling inside his head for quick a while, probably since when Red X came.

Robin saw a part of himself he didn't realize before. A part of him that felt love. His love for Starfire. He would always be right there whenever there was something wrong and when she was feeling blue. Being around her and talking to her, made him feel shiny and new. The feeling pounded inside his heart and at the same time, made it die for almost five seconds he couldn't breathe.

She was everything a person like him needed. Someone to reassure him when he was too in keen of himself and his intelligence. Someone to place a comforting hand and a smile on his face. "Starfire..."

"Yes?"

Robin looked up and he blushed again when Starfire approached him with her ever-so-cute curious eyes. Strands of her hair came loose from her braid and fell in front of her eyes in small curls.

Robin gulped the toad that kept jumping inside his throat. He looked at her and for his nervousness, he rubbed the back of his neck and scratched it hard. A reddish color formed on back of his neck. "There's something that I have been meaning t-t-to-to tell you." "What is it, Robin?" Starfire asked, her voice trembling. Was there something wrong with Robin that he couldn't speak with the other Titans?

"Uh-Star...for a while, I have been wanting to say this to you." And then Robin started talking just too fast it made Starfire go dizzy. "At first I didn't really notice it and then I try to hold it back because I thought it was going to protect you from getting hurt and-"

Starfire was about to close her eyes in slumber when suddenly soft and warm lips kissed her own. They were forceful or harsh in any way. They were gentle and wet on her lips. Starfire closed her eyes as Robin brought an arm around her waist and pulled her posessively close against his body. Her hands touched the muscles on his chest, her nerves on fire and all bubbling inside at the same time.

Starfire slowly moved her hands against his chest and slid up to his cheeks, to hold his face close to hers. Robin held her close as the winds put up their pace and blew a colder breeze that made both of them shiver. Starfire's body dripped with water and she still had that smell of seawater. But her lips were sweet and delicious to him.

Following Robin's lead, Starfire let her lips part for him to enter. Their tongues touched and a thrill of pleasure went through their spines like pricking their finger with a needle. They held the kiss as long as they could hold on to their breath. As they open their eyes, their lips made a smacking pop sound before parting away.

Robin smiled at Starfire and she smiled at him back. He still had his arms around her and he held her protectively in his grasp. He would never want to let her go. He would never let anything happen to her. He would never allow anything to ruin the happiness he had now built inside, thanks to Starfire. And all she could think about were fireworks flying off inside her head and of the many things she and Robin can do. It was just so perfect. He was perfect. Another one of God's wonders.

Robin brushed away the strands of red hair from her pure eyes and leaned forward for another kiss.

But then they heard swinging of a door and immediately they jerked away from each others' reach. Standing by the door was a small green teenager with short thin dark green hair and forest eyes. He wore a jump suit of purple and black with matching gloves and boots. His pointy, animal-like ears moved down with confusion as he looked over the two.

"Uh Star?" He called out quietly.

"Yes, Beast Boy."

"There's a transmission for you. C'mon." He said and quickly returned inside.

Starfire arched an eyebrow with confusion. "A transmission for me?" Robin approached her closely. He grabbed her hand and gave her a sweet smile. "Let's go, Star. Probably a fan wants to greet you. Probably some obsessed boy." Starfire smiled back at him and gripped his hand tight. "But I only need one to make me happy." Robin smiled at her as they walked together into the Tower.

Robin closed the steel door behind him and had shut off anymore light from the stars and the magic it had placed upon them.
