REPLIES TO REVIEWS FOR CHAPTER FIVE.

robin and star fan – Thanks for saying this is great! Reviews like this just make my day much brighter!

Ldy FloR – Thanks for saying this is good!

Jadedea – Starfire was there the whole time. I really didn't think she fit in with much of the conversations very well, but that's just me.

LASHAY-ISAAC – Robin and Raven did look prettier...well, Raven did, anyway. Robin's been kind of the same looking to me for, like, ever. I don't agree with Raven/Robin couplings either...but, whatever, LOL.

Erica Wattson – You don't consider tofu food? Or hesitate to say so, anyway...? I really don't think of it as a complete meal, but like you said, we all know Beast Boy. You didn't see Birthmark? Don't worry – it'll be on tomorrow at Noon EST and Sunday night at 10 PM EST...I always check ahead of time for episodes, tee-hee-hee.

Chapter Six: You Are All I Need

"Robin, are you alright?" Starfire asked. It was a week after Mumbo's reappearance, and they all saw that only two people had gone missing since he came back. She walked over to him and looked at his face.

He patted the seat next to him so she could sit down. "Not entirely," he said as she sat down.

"Is it because of Mumbo?" she said. They both were now staring out the window, their faces thoughtful.

Robin nodded. "Yes. I'm worried that something will go wrong..."

"What kind of something?"

"Like, one of us might disappear," he muttered, now looking at her.

"If we are careful and observant, than I am positive that none of us will disappear!" she explained, nodding.

He smiled. "You're probably right."

"But," she started, looking at him. "What would you do if someone disappeared?"

"What do you mean?"

"What would you do if I disappeared?" she asked.

He remained silent for a moment. The question had actually shocked him, as in he didn't expect her to ask that. "Well," he started. "I wouldn't know what to do. I'd probably die..."

Starfire gasped. "You would kill yourself!" she exclaimed. "You did not attempt that last time!"

"Well, technically, you were gone for, like, two seconds," he told her, smiling.

She nodded. "I see."

"When I said, "I'd probably die", I meant that I'd be all sad, depressed, lonely, upset..." He smiled. "I'd be like Raven."

Starfire giggled. "That would be really 'weird', as you say."

"Well...I guess." He shrugged. "Now, should we go ahead and tell everyone?"

Starfire looked around. They were currently sitting in the main room, and no one was in there. She glanced over at a clock, which read 11:08 AM. She turned to Robin. "I do not think anyone else is awake at the moment...or they are not currently in here, anyway."

He looked at the clock, and then looked around before nodding. "You're right."

"But, I do think we should tell them today," she told him, smiling. "And then we could all go out and have a celebration!"

"Uh, yeah, maybe," he muttered, shrugging.

Right then, they heard the sliding doors open. They turned around and saw Cyborg walking into the room.

"Hey ya'll," he greeted, walking over to the fridge.

"Good Morning," they greeted simultaneously.

"Ya'll want something to eat?" he asked, keeping the fridge open and looking at them.

They shook their heads. "We can wait until lunch," Robin told him, as Starfire nodded in agreement.

Cyborg nodded and walked off, humming a little tune to himself.

"Robin, may we please go somewhere tonight?" Starfire suddenly asked, looking at him with pleading eyes. "Just the two of us?"

"Of course we can," Robin assured her, smiling.

Starfire smiled back at him. Her eyes glittered with excitement as her face beamed with excitement. "This is wonderful! I shall get ready now!"

"No, Star!" he said, laughing. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back down next to him.

"What is it?"

"You've got at least eight more hours to get ready," he told her. "You don't want to spend some time with?"

She giggled at the mischievous look on his face. "Why of course I do! I just want to look extra special for tonight."

"I'm sure you'll look great," he assured her, grinning. "Where are we going, anyway?"

"It is a surprise," she told him, pressing her forehead against his. "I think you will love it. The place that we are going is my absolute favorite spot on Earth."

He nodded and then leaned forward to kiss her. She kissed him back. The kiss wasn't very demanding; it was sweet and soft.

Right then, the doors opened again. They quickly parted and saw Beast Boy walking in.

"BEAST BOY WE HAVE JOYOUS NEWS FOR YOU!" Starfire suddenly exclaimed, taking Robin's hand and running over to the kitchen where Beast Boy was standing.

"Oh, is it about Raven?" Beast Boy asked, quickly turning around and staring at her.

"I am afraid not," Starfire told him, slightly frowning. Robin just looked between the two of them, confused.

"What is it then?" Beast Boy asked, turning around with a grin on his face.

Starfire exhaled before saying, "Robin and I are currently dating!"

Beast Boy grinned even wider and turned back around, a glass of soymilk in his hand. "Did you ask just today? Or have you two been going out for longer?" he asked Robin.

"Um, well...I, uh..."

"We've been dating for over three months now," Starfire plainly told him.

Beast Boy placed the glass of milk down and walked over to the couple. He first hugged Starfire. "I guess he really loves you, huh?" he whispered in her ear. As they let go, she nodded happily. He then turned to Robin and just started at him. "Hug? Shake? Kiss?"

Robin laughed and hugged Beast Boy (in a manly way). "Thanks, man."

"Dude, it's all in a days work," Beast Boy assured him, giving them the thumbs up. "Plus, everyone knew about it."

Robin looked at him, utterly confused. He looked over at Starfire, who was just slightly confused since she only told Beast Boy.

"We all knew Robin loved you, Star," Beast Boy explained, seeing the looks on the couples face. "But, you, Star...you were good at keeping your love a secret."

"Oh, I just did not know how he felt," Starfire assured him.

"Yeah, now, who's gonna tell Cyborg and Raven?" Beast Boy asked them.

"Tell us what?"

The three Titans looked over at the entrance of the kitchen and found Raven and Cyborg standing in the doorway, looking at them with confused looks on their faces.

"Take a guess," Beast Boy said to them, a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"You're a carnivore now?" Raven guessed, her voice plain and emotionless.

"Uh, no," Beast Boy told her, a slight glare on his voice. "It's about those two." He pointed to Starfire and Robin.

"Oh, you two are going out or somethin'?" Cyborg asked, scratching the back of his head and grinning.

Robin just stared at him, his mouth hanging wide open. "I guess when it comes to love, it's not a big secret with me, huh?" he asked, shocked.

"Exactly," Raven told him, walking over to the stove and preparing her tea.

"Now everybody knows!" Starfire exclaimed, clapping her hands in excitement.

"Everybody already knew," Robin muttered to himself.

"So, y'all gonna go on a date soon?" Cyborg asked, preparing a huge ham for himself.

"Why yes!" Starfire said, nodding. "In fact, our second date is going to be tonight."

"Dude, and how long have you all been going out?" Beast Boy asked. Even thought he knew the answer to that question, he knew Cyborg and Raven didn't.

"Three months," the couple replied. Starfire's voice sounded joyful, while Robin's sounded happy and depressed at the same time.

Cyborg started at the couple with his mouth hanging wide open. "THREE MONTHS!" he exclaimed.

"That's a long time," Raven muttered, taking her cup of tea and sipping it. "So, why didn't you tell us?"

"Robin can tell you all that," Starfire quickly said, turning to Robin and smiling.

Robin sighed and muttered something that no one could hear.

"Come on, Robbie-poo, none of us can hear you!" Beast Boy teased.

Robin sent a death-glare at Beast Boy. "I thought you all would laugh...well, maybe not Raven..."

"Hilarious," Raven told him in a mock tone.

"Man, you take things way to seriously," Cyborg told him. "If anything, I'd think it was about time you announced your ever-lasting love for our alien friend here...and congratulations, man." He patted Robin on the back and started wating his ham.

Where's Star? Robin thought to himself, crossing his arms and looking at the staircase. It was a little after seven, and Starfire still wasn't downstairs.

You are all I need to get me through (get me through now baby)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you)

"Robin? How do I look?"

He looked over and saw Starfire wearing a dark purple tank top, low-rise jeans, and some sneakers. Her hair was fixed into two braids, both hanging loosely down the front side of her.

After a moment of staring, Robin replied with a, "Wow."

Sweet anticipation
It's giving me the butterflies
And my heartbeat's racing
Cos loving you is beautiful
When you're so irresistible

Starfire giggled and walked over to him. "I do not think 'wow' is a describing word."

He smiled as they walked out the door. "You look...honestly, you look great," he told her, looking at her and smiling.

She smiled back at him. "You look nice, also."

Robin was wearing a black t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and his sneakers. His mask was still on, and his hair was still spiky.

He slightly chucked, scratching the back of his neck. "Yeah...but not as nice as you look."

Her smile broadened, a blush forming on her cheeks. "Thanks." She then leaned over and hugged him.

His face began to turn red, but he hugged her back. "Y-yeah, um...where are we going?" he asked, their bodies slowly parting.

She took her hand in his and led him down a few streets. "Oh, you will see soon enough."

So don't stop (don't stop)
What you're doing baby
So good (so good)
And it drives me crazy
One touch (who-ho-hoo)
I'm in heaven, yeah
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

"Can I get a hint?" he asked her. "I guess the Titans Tower is out of the question..."

She giggled. "Indeed, the tower is nice, but it is not as great as what you will soon see."

With their hands intertwined, they walked together down the empty and silent street. It was a good five minutes before either of them spoke up.

"It is right up the street!" she happily cried, her grip on his hand tightening as she raced down the street.

Within the minute, they got to their destination. The place has Starfire in complete awe, and had Robin in pure amazement. They were at a park just outside of Jump City. It has a small swing set with only one flat swing on it. There was a small, yet kind of tall slide on the far edge of the park. On the other side, there was a beautiful view of the ocean.

"Wow," was all Robin could say again. He, too, was in pure awe of the park. He slowly turned to Star, who was looking around, a true smile on her face. "So this is your favorite spot?"

She nodded and turned to him. "Would you like to sit on what you call a 'swing'?" she asked. "I know there is not enough room for the two of us, but..."

"I have an idea," he told her, grabbing ahold of her hand. He then walked over to the swing and sat down. He then patted his lap. "Would you like to sit down?"

She giggled, nodding, and sat down on his lap. She adjusted herself so that she was more comfortable sitting on his lap. "Are you alright, Robin?"

"Never better."

You are all I need to get me through (to get me through now)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you now)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you

After a while of sitting on the swing and making small talk, Starfire then asked him, "Do you wish to explore this park more?"

"Sure," Robin replied as they sat up.

Although they were not hand-in-hand, they walked around the park. Neither of them were talking; the presence of each other's company was good enough for the two of them.

Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together

They soon ended up under a large oak tree. They were cuddled up against each other, their hands intertwined. Her head rested on his shoulder, as his head was propped against hers.

"So, why is this your favorite place?" he asked her, looking up at the clear, starry sky.

"When I first came to Earth, as you may remember, I only spoke Tameran. Nobody understood me, so I had no friends. Although I was here for a half a day before I got accepted into the Titans, I remember sitting right under this tree, looking off into the horizon," she quietly explained, tears forming in her eyes.

He looked down at her and noticed the tears. "Oh, Star," he whispered, wiping off the tears as they fell. "You don't need to be sad."

"I am not sad," she told him. "I am happy. This is such a lovely place...I am shedding the tears of happiness."

He smiled and nodded and, with her body in the same position, enveloped her in a hug. She then moved in front of him, rested her head against his chest, and wrapped her arms around his chest.

I thought I knew what love was
I always ended up in tears
It's just the way my world was
Until you walked into my life
It's something that I just can't hide

"It is beautiful here, yes?" she whispered to him.

He nodded. "Yes, but not as beautiful as you are."

She blushed and snuggled closer to him. "You 'have a way with women' as Cyborg often says."

He chuckled. "I may be the obsession of some girls, but I am only interested in one."

"Only one?" she asked, looking up at him.

He nodded, bent his head slightly down, and kissed her. For a few minutes, they kissed.

"Only one," he repeated as they parted.

Real love (real love)
Has come my way
And I know (I know)
That it's here to stay
And it feels (who-ho-hooo)
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

"Robin?" she asked.

"Yes?"

Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together

"Will we be together forever?" she asked him, looking into his mask/eyes.

He nodded, a sincere look on his face. "Forever. I promise."

"And the team...we will all be friends forever?" she asked.

Again, he nodded, the same look on his face. "We will all be friends."

Cos I need you and you need me
And we'll always be together

"What time is it?" Starfire asked about twenty minutes later.

Robin looked at his watch. "Oh, um, it's about 10:30..."

"We've been out that long?" she asked, horrified.

He smiled at her. "Nah. It's about 9:15..."

She sighed in relief and playfully hit him. "You should not startle me like that!"

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said in a mocking tone, still grinning like a fool.

"Robin!" she giggled, rested her head on his chest.

"Yes?"

"Stop mocking me!"

"I'm not mocking you."

"Then what do you call messing around with you?"

"Messing around with you."

You're my inspiration
My world just seems a brighter place
I just wanna tell you
I've never ever felt this way
I've never thought I'd see the day

"Hey, Star, can I give you something real quick?" Robin asked, suddenly feeling anxious.

"Why of course!"

"Alright, well, I need for you to shut your eyes and try to imagine yourself someplace else for a while," he told her.

She nodded and shut her eyes, humming a quiet tune to herself.

Real love (real love)
Has come my way
And I know (I know)
That it's here to stay
And it feels (who-ho-hooo)
Like never before
Cos loving you is so beautiful baby cos...

"You can open them now."

She quickly opened them and looked around. "Um, Robin, I cannot see anything," she admitted sheepishly.

"So you didn't feel or hear anything?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

She shook her head. "Nope. I was really deep in thought."

He looked at her, amazed. "Oh, okay...um...oh, yeah, take off your right glove."

Although she was slightly suspicious of what he gave her, she shrugged it off and took off her glove. She gasped at the sight – a gorgeous diamond ring.

"It's beautiful," she whispered, tears forming in her eyes. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and sobbed into his shoulder.

"Shh..." he muttered, rubbing her back.

After a minute of crying, she slowly let go of him and wiped her eyes. "I love it. It's absolutely beautiful."

"It's a promise ring," he told her, a smile on his face.

"What is this ring of promise?" she asked, a confused look on her face. "Is it like the ring of engagement?"

"Sort of." He shrugged. "It's not exactly a ring promising to marry someone...it's like a ring promising to be with your love forever."

She gasped and smiled. She put on her glove, leaned forward, and kissed him. "I love you," she said, quickly parting from him.

"I love you, too." And with that, they leaned in and kissed each other again.

You are all I need to get me through (get me through now baby)
Like a falling star I fell for you (I fell for you)
You have taught me how to love
An angel sent from high above
Now I know that all I need is you
